no but when mhok told day to think of his plate as a clock and told him where on the clock the food was that really reminded me of one of my favorite movies from when i was in middle school which is also about blind people and where the title of the movie itself is a reference to thinking of the plate as a clock: it's called "erbsen auf halb 6" which literally translates to "peas at half past 5" (yes, "halb 6" means "half past 5", yes the numbers are different, don't worry about it)

the plot of the movie is a theater director losing his eyesight in a car accident and him being a director who kinda needs to see what's going on on stage he really doesn't take his sudden loss of vision very well. he gets assigned a helper/mentor, a lady who is blind herself and who's been blind since birth and is supposed to help him adapt to a life with disability. he ultimately runs away from her when he learns that his mother is sick to go find his mother in russia and say goodbye before she dies. his helper/mentor chases after him and they end up on a travel adventure together

it's been over a decade since i last saw the movie but i think at some point they eat and they talk about how the peas sit on the plate where it would be half past 5 on a clock?? anyway, that moment with mhok and day at the restaurant where mhok tells him the position of day's food with the help of an analog clock really reminded me of that movie

edit: i went to look for the trailer of that movie and i found the scene in question!! turns out they're at a restaurant and the helper/mentor character goes "if you imagine the plate as a clock... what numbers is the food lying on?" and the waitress is all confused going "i'm sorry?"

there are no eng subs for the trailer buuut the moment is at the very end at 2:11:

see it's a real movie i didn't just make it up kjdfkjdfk

#god i need to rewatch that movie so bad it's been so long since i last saw it #i actually thought about this movie only recently!! #bc these two italian erasmus students were asking for german movie recs and i told them about this one #and now the scene with day and mohk at the restaurant reminds me of it too and #now i just feel this strong urge to go rewatch it #i vividly remember many scenes but there is no connection between them djgdkfjkfdg #i should really rewatch it during christmas break i think we have it on dvd??? #bc my mom found it in the library and we liked the movie a lot and i think she ended up buying it #i gotta check my parent's dvd shelf when i go home for christmas in a week #airenyah plappert #last twilight #lt ep5 #adrm #no but that movie also had this feature where they had an accessible version of it for people with low/no vision!!!! #which was the first time i'd ever seen a feature like this‚ up until that point i didn't know it existed #(i was like 12 or 13 or so i think when i first watched that movie) #(and (pre-)teen me thought it was really cool)

aim for the sun ⇝ trading cards

ft. Himura Kenji & "Marionette" Mari

here's my take on the oc verse trading cards by @auxiliarydetective!! starring my current muses obviously, I've got some editing notes under the cut so feel free to just ignore it bc most of it is just rambling

first, I cannot thank you enough for making this guide Evie, I was so stuck on the numbers before I remembered that you literally gave me a guide to figure them out. Kenji's number (58) is a combination of 5 (ka) + 10 (ji) + 8 (ya), aka kajiya, the word for blacksmith in Japanese; I couldn't find any pun-related numbers for Mari, so I just used her symbolic number (13), I'll elaborate on this when the time is right ;)

it doesn't show up much, but I successfully changed the bg color for both of my cards! I have Single Child Syndrome and I Refuse To See Reason and I regretted it when after finishing it I realized that the original color looked best... ah well, at least they're more in line with their colors

the stats are both of them post OPLA s1, Mari is strong but she doesn't get a big fight scene so it's not obvious (but not better than the monster trio, hence the middle-ish placing), she does get an unhinged scene talking about her dream though; Kenji is himbo coded and I felt like I should make that Very Clear, he's slightly stronger than Usopp & Nami, but he doesn't train as hard as the fighting trio + Mari, so he's below average. both of them get to be a little stupid because it's the Strawhats, you aren't a crewmate if you're not a bit silly and unhinged amirite

and that's about it! thank you sm for reading if you did, and I hope you have a lovely day/night wherever you are!! now if you'll excuse me, I have a giveaway to work on <3

the enablers' call: @arrthurpendragon, @bibaybe, @daughter-of-melpomene, @auxiliarydetective, @starcrossedjedis, @fakedatings, @supermarine-silvally -- want to be added?? shoot me an ask!!

#oc: himura kenji #oc: marionette mari #alvita's edits #click for better quality #(pls click I spent too much time than they should get #i wanted a picture of Mari with her hair tied back #but there weren't any of good quality #I've got a few other numbers for Kenji that connect to his story #but for Mari there are only 13 and 4 #and 5 too technically #someone pls remind me to talk abt the trivia questions one day

many thoughts in my head

#thinking about how everyone assumes i am fresh out of high school when i am nearly 30 #and the fact that i can't really connect w any of my classmates bc they're so much younger than me #most of the ppl my age (and younger) are faculty but i can't really connect w them either since i'm a student #and i don't really want to connect w any of them anyways since none of them wear a mask #feeling v directionless i went back to college bc i was sick of working low paying garbage dead end jobs #but i still don't know what i want to do #and i know most ppl change majors multiple times and i have plenty of time #but in my new student class for all of the assignments lately i have to choose but i still have no idea so it's v discouraging #the more i look into my options the more i am like i don't want to do any of these actually #or i don't feel capable/it would take too long #today is day 3 of my new job on campus is v laid back and only 13 hours a week but i still feel like i have such little time now #i am tired and lonely #also feeling p bad about my appearance i keep feeling like i wish i was still cute #but i also thought this years ago and i am sure i will think the same thing about my current self in a few years #sigh

what/who is your fav don giovanni. mine is muti with shimell. but no one beats siepi in acting. kwicien maybe

ohhhhhhh bless you for asking me this <3333 under the cut so as not to spam

i gotta say, I have a soft spot for Mariusz Kwiecień (he was my very first Don Giovanni, actually - that Met 2011 production was the very thing that got me into opera in the first place!), he's definitely THE best 21st century Don Giovanni to me. Acting-wise he's absolutely breathtaking and even if he cannot compare vocally with the old giants like Siepi I'd say he was pretty decent (i'm so weak for him singing that one ✨andiam✨ in La ci darem la mano in falsetto - he always does it and my legs always turn to jelly in that moment). Saw him perform it live only once and that was the moment i truly understood what the word katharsis meant. fucking CHILLS.

I really, really love Samuel Ramey (especially when paired up with young Furlanetto!). That hair, the little earring, that insane stage presence and energy. Also I don't think I've ever heard another rendition of Fin ch'han dal vino that would be as precise as his. It's a devilishly difficult aria, especially when done in the proper tempo, there is quite literally no space to breathe, it's insane - god knows I'm not an easy listener and bitching about opera singers is my personal hobby; but in the case of this one aria I am very forgiving and I usually just expect the singer to fuck it up with no hard feelings from me - but Ramey doesn't miss a single note!

And of course, of course - Cesare Siepi. I think he's the most legendary Don Giovanni and no wonder really. He's amazing, simple as that.

There are many good Giovannis out there, but those free are my personal favourites - though bonus points for... Bryn Terfel. I'm not a huge fan of his singing but that dude can act. Not to be a mean bitch lol but he obviously wouldn't be anyone's first choice (definitely not mine) for a character like Don Giovanni appearance-wise. AND YET - he somehow makes it work... chapeau bas (talking about that Met DG under Levine - say what you want about Levine, I hate that bitch as much as the next person, but he's one of my favourite conductors for both Mozart and Verdi... yikes).

if we're talking specific recordings... I don't have a perfect one, I'll always find something that I'd change, whether it be tempo or a singer. But yeah, I'm also really fond of that Muti recording! The tempi are insane sometimes, some are even faster than what I'd set myself and that's honestly impressive, brave and so so sexy of Muti fr. I think if I had to choose just one recording, that would be it. The cast is also good, especially the ladies. Vaness as Elvira (she's absolutely stunning, also as Anna with the amazing Jerry Hadley in that one Met Recording - also with Ramey and Furlanetto - she's THE soprano for all Mozart roles for me, her Fiordiligi and Vitellia are also legendary), Studer as Anna and I really like the Zerlina, I'm so tired of squeaky meowing Zerlinas like Battle and the whole gang...

Another two I like, though perhaps more for the singers than the conducting itself, are the one with Ramey as Giovanni, Furlanetto as Leporello, Agnes Baltsa as Elvira and Gösta Winbergh as Ottavio under Karajan and one with Sherrill Milnes as Giovanni, Walter Berry as Leporello and Żylis-Gara as Elvira under Böhm. I generally tend to concentrate on the singers more and only really notice the conducting when it's so awful that I just can't look past it lol

wow, that was long, weird, who would have thought that you'd get a long answer from me to a Don Giovanni related question huh

#if i had to choose my favourite tempi - it'd be that 2011 Met recording conducted by Fabio Luisi. BUT i am aware i am very biased #since this recording was my very very first and i used to listen to it daily when i was 13. it's just embedded into my brain ok. #forever. #looking at it now. by god do i notice its faults. the singing is so bad at times it's actually quite funny ashgsjsgs #but i have such a strong emotional connection to it... i will love it with my whole heart till the day i die. #the unmatched energy Kwiecień and Pisaroni have there has forever ruined all Don Giovanni-Leporello duos for me. #also Barbara Frittoli's Elvira made me finally realise I was bisexual and my tumblr url is also a fruit of my then-obsession with her lol #anyway person who asked this question i am kissing you on the mouth thank you for giving me an opportunity to talk about dg #it's been too long #don giovanni #opera tag

#idk how to process this. blogging day in day out for a decade #not that it means anything. but fucking valentine's day? and I made a tumblr? being 13 sucked frfr #i can even remember the day now that i think abt it. or at least the process of making my acct #this site at once makes me feel connected informed enlightened and isolated misled and decieved #idk if idve survived teen years without this other space to step into and im so so grateful for all the friends ive made #but i can barely relate to anything around me. which maybe is a useful thing sometimes but like... come on #this site feels more like a bad habit than much else at this point

There's something so grating about the majority of the internet conflating the act of creating spaces, communities, and terms to describe common or overlapping experiences and misappropriating medical / psychological terms and spreading misinformation.

It's not heretical to say you shouldn't be inventing new medical / psychological terms to describe your own experiences and then presenting them online as if they're quirky personality traits. Not only does it devalue and harm those who suffer from / are diagnosed with disorders / illnesses / etc that professionals have spent considerable amount of time studying and defining but it also pathologizes what is sometimes normal human behavior which can be incredibly damaging to others (especially minors) online.

This is not to say that normal human experiences cannot be assigned labels and have communities. Or even that normal human experiences cannot be difficult and harrowing in their own right. But not every experience needs to be equated to a delusion or dissociative disorder.

#As someone with a psychology degree I will also be the first to criticize psychology and the way mental health terms are created and defined #But that's a conversation for another day #You're the god of your own experiences and existence but your actions have ripple effects and my god #13 year olds should not be on tumblr self diagnosing bpd and psychosis because they get sad if they dont love their stuffed animals equally #I understand the need to connect to others over common experiences but I can't for the life of me wrap my head around this as the solution #ngl im so tired of seeing how many different terms there are associated with DID #not because those terms shouldnt exist to describe specific experiences but because theyre treated like actual separate psychological terms #👁 #rant

blind (2022) is driving me insane. im begging my friends to watch it but theyre either busy with exams or almost exclusively fluff/romance-watchers . i need to talk ab this w someone just hit me up or something GOD

#kdrama blind (2022) #blind 2022 spoilers #tvn ocn blind (2022) #so my theory is the same as other peoples' its confirmed that 13 yoonjae is sungjoon so im thinking sunghoon was there too (somehow idk) an #that hes 11 and jung inseong the juror is 12. 11 and 12 seem to be real brothers? bc in ep1 11 said 'go meet mom' and not 'go meet your mom #and maybe 11 and 13 escaped together after hiding under the floorboards? since sj Was adopted maybe he was taken in when the parents found #sh after they escaped together? and the thing is everyone is involved somehow so if the mother was like in a high position at the center (i #i didnt the lady at the start of ep7 for someone else) then how was sunghoon there? idk i havent gotten that far on my theory except that #hes 11. maybe they were Both adopted? so the next to die is either the lady idr her name or the producer guy. 24 + 7 r confirmed dead now #13 is sungjoon. and inseong is def connected to this somehow like the rest of the jury. ergo my theory that hes 12. also i think the body #they found w ahn taeho's phone in ep8 is jung yoonjung's (yoonjae's older sister) bc of the necklace and the size of the skeleton. so now #they've found one body from the events of 20 years ago that happened at the center. all the jurors' kids will be killed as revenge for the #parents turning a blind eye on them as kids so theyre being punished by having their beloved children taken away from them. i think its #amazing how theyre all connected they dont know it at all. choi soongil was the only one who recognized ahn taeho (bc of the scar) and #yeom hyejin didnt know her father was sending kids to be abused and enslaved. kang youngki saw kids in numbered uniforms doing hard labor #never said a word bc keeping it a secret earned him money that he spent on his own kid who wouldve been around the same age as them. #from ep8 we see that the producer made a docu on the center and just buried it. and ofc mr baek who was the ringleader of all this. #his daughter killed on her birthday and kang youngki's daughter killed on her wedding day as retribution. im sad that ahn taeho died living #a life of guilt and fear moving around all the time but at least hes free from that now. im glad he got to apologize to 'yoonjae' for it #honestly i cant be mad at ahn taeho bc he was a survivor and a child and terrified. also is it just me or did sunghoon look disappointed #when ahn taeho confessed? like thats all the evidence i have supporting my theory that hes 11 i think. ofc theres the vibes? that he and #sungjoon have more history than the shows let on so far but if he was 11 he would be so disappointed bc he planned their escape #anyway come talk to me about this its driving me crazy

i’m SO good at directions i could never ever manage to get lost on the way to a library i’ve been to many times in an area i’ve been to even more times

#help. #i was gonna take the subway bc i’d already payed presto fare for the next two hours to get on the bus right. but it said the next train #would come in 13 mins and it’s only a 10 min walk (THEORETICALLY APPARENTLY) so i decided to walk. ummm #so first i exited the subway station on the wrong side (i’ve exited thru the dollarama side many times i know what’s on the other side of #the exit idk why i did that). then i walked towards the wrong road bc i couldn’t properly see the street signs. then i finally got to the #right INTERSECTION but then i walked around for 5 more mins increasingly confused until i was just like fuck it and put away google maps #and just jaywalked across the main road to get into a building which was not the library but was connected to the library #anyway hi i’m here now. yes it’s the middle of the school day but ummm. if i wrote that math test as it is i’d fail so i uh desperately need #to study for it #.txt #support group for geographically challenged people when

process gif of akoya’s birthday picture!

this took about 22 hours (admittedly several of which were spent trying things and having it not work and redoing it LOL)

#boueibu #my art #how i draw #it took about 9 hours to get to the first stage where all the characters are colored in #and 13 hours to get from there to the final LOL #that was my marathon over the last 3 days #the most time is always spent on the last details #also admittedly i kept redrawing akoya's hair bc i don't know what it was but the angle here was just difficult to work with somehow #bc it's boxed in awkwardly by the edge on one side and kinchan's arm on the other #i had to make it flow within that space or it would go too far off the page or across kinchan's arm #and i kept rearranging the flowers so many times OTL #i had to drop arima's arm and the flowers on the right side into shadow so that the petals in the corner would pop out in contrast #kinchan's original pose was even more awkward LOLL but i changed it to give it more motion #also cuz the angle of his arm wasn't connecting super well with akoya's after i moved him closer #my reason for sharing process tbh is that making something is an experience and showing it allows me to feel like im sharing that...? #(instead of spending 22 hours alone that no one ever knows about LOL) #that and i keep getting mesmerized by my own gifs #and im not even mentioning all the video i took of myself posing out in the sun for reference LOL #ANYWAY i started thinking maybe akoya was so happy it caused all these flowers to pop up around him #remembers that old hc people talked about where flowers bloom if akoya is happy..!! #though i think they're just in a flower field...!!!

yesterday i was doing some research for an english essay (it was about the effects of technology) and as i was reading i was like damn maybe i should take some of the advice in this article. so when i finished my essay at like 8:50 pm i turned my computer off and stayed off of my phone and i just doodled for an hour before bed

#also got distracted looking through my old art (from when i sketched traditionally and scanned my art to finish in firealpaca) #there's some unfinished stuff in that pile (like the rest of my thun.der leg.ion x baku.squad art) i might post it all one day #electric angel (r) #kittay #a tiny bit if lore there. yes kittay first arrived in the fai.ry ta.il universe when she was 13 #that last image is just random expressions it's not connected to any particular events #kittay.art #kittay.post

Okay, read through the FFXIII data logs, and the main highlight of those was definitely the Pulse Analects the subject of which would have for much better sidequests than the cieth stones battle gauntlets.

Also hi Yeul. I see you :D

#final fantasy xiii #the analects read like a mix of sermons and post-apocalyptic logs and also connect better to the larger mythos #that becomes the subject of the next two games. there is good stuff in there! the location and 13 days bits are not as interesting #although to be fair Ep 0 covers the 13 days in more detail so there isn't much left when looking at the datalogs after xD

I wanna be more active on here but I just like... don't really know how to socialize the tumblr way anymore

#like i had a fandom blog when i was a wee 13 year old and i made so many friends there but i deleted it and i forget why but after that #i just like. forgot how to use this website at all #made a new blog just to post my art like im doing everywhere else but tumblr has this like. #special zing to it. like everyone interacts in a more connected way with the things you create #and i want to engage w that yk i want to take silly doodle requests and read impassioned note comments and whatever #im just like. not Tumblr enough these days to know how do you understand my issue

if i could send a letter to my younger self, it would just say "i love you so much" over and over again.

#ocean.mp3 #ohhh i just. #see i turn 18 real soon and when i was like 12/13 i was a big fan of alessia cara #and i promised myself right before i turned 18 i would listen to her song 'seventeen' #which is basically abt the passage of time etc. #so i kept my promise and listened to it and i also went back and was watching her mv for her song 'wild things' #and i just. #when i was a fan of her i was also very deeply and profoundly lonely #nobody really liked me and i couldn't fit in and i was always an outsider #and i always had been. i had never had a group of people who considered me a friend or wanted me around etc. #and in that music video alessia included all of her friends in the mv and the song #is like about not fitting in and feeling proud of it #and having a group of people who all like each other and are friends and just. they love each other and do fun things together #and theyre misfits and PROUD of it #and at that age i really connected with the message bc even if i didn't have friends i was NOT about to change myself to fit in #or be someone i wasn't. #and i found myself fantasizing about being in that friend group in the mv a bunch #like. having people who actually liked me and wanted me around and would ask me to hang out #and i always thought it was unnattainable. that i would never have something like this. #but now. present day. now i have friends. i have people who love me. #who want me around. #who include me in things. #and watching this mv again today i was struck by such nostalgia #and such love for my younger self. #because i finally have what i thought i would never attain. #and that's being loved. having friends. having people around you who want you there. #so to younger me: i love you. i love you. i love you. i will always love you with my entire heart. #you will never be weird to me. you don't deserve the way others treat you. i love you so much.
