#And ok

[elucubrare]

i think one of the reasons i don't gel with a lot of urban fantasy is that i want something really specific from it, especially if the protagonist didn't know about the magic before:

the reenchantment of the world. (link to the wiki article on disenchantment)

elves (the People) and mermaids and personified forces of nature and magic make a lot of sense when you don't have a scientific answer for why your milk curdles or what that thing swimming along your ship is or why the rain doesn't fall. for the most part, though, modern people live in a much more explained and comprehensible world.

what happens, then, when you suddenly find out that there might be a giant around the corner, or a sea serpent in the sewers? how does this intrusion of the numinous on the mundane affect you? the world is more magical & no longer predictable. what else is different? are you different? what should you do? must you change your life?

#and ok #to be clear this is not 'people are doing urban fantasy wrong' #it's 'honestly i miss a sense of the sublime in a LOT of fiction and it's a bummer'

I think the best flex I ever did was the time a couple of teenage dudes found out that I had the AUDACITY to not Utterly Despise every single thing disney has done with star wars and decided that they were, obviously, Superior to me, and I must be a Fake Fan who probably didn't even know that the jedi were the rEaL bAd gUyS. So I happily hit them with the news that the entire course of the star wars saga that they knew, loved, and gatekept was shaped by the actions of two characters who they had never even heard of (tag and bink)

#fun fact: when they told my dad that “disney star wars is trash” #probably expecting him to agree with them #he gave them a not mad just disappointed look and quietly said “well *I* like it” #and ok #you gotta understand #the first time i ever heard about tag and bink was literally the day before #so it's not like I was an expert on all of star wars or anything #and if you haven't heard of them. the tag and bink comics are kinda imo the closest thing canon star wars has to pure crack #so they are NOT serious characters #but the dudebros didnt have to know that

If I see another article about B.I apologizing for his drug scandal again istg I’ll throw something

#I’m not blaming him at all #has nothing to do with him #but are ppl seriously still mad about this to the point where he feels like he still needs to frequently apologize??? #ppl be acting as if he was an addict #and ok #let’s say he was #hypothetically let’s say that was the case #the way idols and trainees are treated in the kpop industry how can u blame them for finding coping methods #even if they’re not good ones #ppl in dire situations make dire choices #also it was just weed bruh #sk stop making this man apologize and focus ur attention to crimes that are drastically harming ppl #also thought it was interesting that he thanked international fans specifically #my man knows where a large majority of the hate’s coming from :/ #Kim Hanbin #b.i #hanbin

I finally received some positive news ♡ my corona test is the only thing not negative about me rn

#wonderful ♡ #where did i catch it? #probably my neighbors #who live in the same house #or my mother is infected but has no symptoms #i literally don't leave my house otherwise lol #except for that doctor's appointment last week #and ok #i went to a supermarket once in the last 3 (4?) weeks #AND I ALWAYS WEAR MY FUCKING MASK #but ok #this is just a fun thing we do these days #my body and me are enemies #I'll have to ask my friend if she can pick up my thesis from the printing service and drop it off at the exam office #i hate it #anyway #fun times

I really liked Rings of Power. I thought it was really good. Room to be better, obviously, but a good show with good actors.

I said it.

That is my opinion.

#pro rings of power #rings of power #lord of the rings #I’m there for the saurondriel #I keep scrolling on like YouTube #and it’s a bunch of people saying how RoP sucks #that Galadriel sucks #that Rings of Power failed where House of The Dragon soared #and ok #art is subjective #it’s your opinion #but gods is it annoying #it would be nice to see some pro rings of power peopke as well #but that is the fate of art #to be liked or disliked by each individual person #🙂 #fandom stuff #it’s not a RoP vs HotD scenario because they’re both good #although did HotD ever get a little weirder in the last few episodes #with that foot thing? #that was so strange #the thing with Larys

If anyone wants to say a prayer that my family memeber can get out of the hospital tomorrow I would really appreciate that energy

#hes stable #and ok #but they wont let him leave until his blood test is gopd

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc

against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week
