#I paraphrased a few

[rwby-encrusted-blog]

For the mama bird AU. Can you do some Rochelle (Everybody Hates Chris) moments for Raven please?

~~~~~

Yang: My father always worked two jobs, which made my mother so comfortable, she’d quit her job over anything.

[flashback to Raven as a waitress]

Woman: Check, please?

Yang: [v.o.] And I mean anything.

Raven: Now, do I look like I have your check? All that hollering at people. I don’t need this. My husband has two jobs. I don’t need to be here right now.

[flashback to Rochelle as a receptionist]

Man: Hold my calls.

Raven: Who are you hollering at? “Hold my calls.” Hold your own damn call! I do not need this! My man has two jobs!

Yang: [v.o.] As much as my mother complains about housework, she hated to have somebody else do it. And after my father got his job back, she got to do one of the things she does best...

[cut to Rochelle in the office:]

Raven: File your own damn papers. I do not need this. My husband has two jobs.

~~~~~

Raven: The next time you ask me to do something after your father told you no, I'm going to pop the pores off your face, do you understand me?

Kid Yang: Yes, ma'am.

~~~~~

Yang: [v.o.] While I had my father on my side, my mother was going to get a teacher off of Ruby's back.

Raven: I don't see why I have to take a whole day off of work, to come down here for this nonsense.

Mrs. Wilson: I don't think it's nonsense. Tonya was exhibiting some aggressive behavior toward a classmate. I just wanted you to be aware of it.

Kid Ruby: I was just trying to read, and she wouldn't be quiet.

Raven: Girl, you interrupt me again, I'm going to knock the sound out of your mouth.

~~~~~

Raven: Boy! Is that a baby?

Yang: No, it's a football.

Raven: Is that a baby?

Ruby: No, it's a shoebox.

Raven: Is that a baby?

Tai: No. It's baby carrots.

~~~~~

Raven: If I ever catch any of y'all spray painting on anybody's wall, I'm gonna put my foot so far up your behind, you'll have toes for teeth. Get inside.

~~~~~

Raven: Boy, I will slap the caps off your knees.

~~~~~

Raven: I will knock you into last night.

~~~~~

Raven: I will slap your name out the phonebook and call Ma Bell and tell her I did it.

~~~~~

Tai: Raven, money is money. Cash, food stamps-- what's the difference?

Raven: Because I don't want to have to curse nobody out.

Tai: What?!

Raven: Tai, when I pull out food stamps, people look at me like I ain't got no husband. They talk to me like I ain't got no sense. They treat me like I ain't got no class. And if somebody treats me like that, I'm gonna curse them out! All because you won't let me Kill themfor their insolence!

~~~~~

Ruby+Yang: Bye, Mommy. Love you. Raven: Have a good day at school. Don't come home stupid. Ruby+Yang: We won't.

Doubles as a present for @thegeekyturtlegirl who wondered about a Dean version.

elquackity: well, bad news. today is not a happy day its a very sad day. the event of purgatory has been running for 7 days. and these 7 days we’ve seen a lot of changes, promises, actions, and comments that really makes you think what is the purpose of purgatory. so for the people who still don’t know what purgatory is or means. (says definition) and through these 7 days we’ve been living… and we’ve seen that there are people who have killed who they love to reach the very end. without knowing what will even happen at the end….

elquackity: the green team isn’t sure whats going to happen but i am sure of one thing. there are no coincidences, there is only bad luck.

elquackity: i won’t show you guys the screenshots but i’ll tell you guys what i said in chat. i started the day asking whats the plan. stating the percentage that most matters is kills. but unfortunately etoiles isn’t available to participate today. later, fitmc said the same. that there was a possibility he could not log on today. we don’t know whats going to happen. but what we do know is that today a team has to die. purgatory hasn’t been an event about laughter or friendships. its pushed people to their limits pushing them to commit horrid acts. and whats the objective? whats the objective of committing these horrid acts? no one knows. they’ve all decided to commit atrocities without knowing what will happen. we don’t know who will win at the end and we don’t know who will die. green team is not likely to win today. … i will be connecting today to do an official goodbye to purgatory. this isn’t a show of lack of faith but an acceptance of our reality.

feel like pure shit, just want her back

#james talks #riverdale #miss the whole crew really but Betty especially bc Lili was so magnificent #god as perfect as the finale was (and it really was one of the greatest finales ever) i wish we had gotten another season #they had as good a run as a show on that network could hope for but there are few shows on there that eclipsed the network like Riverdale #like the list includes like. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Gossip Girl. and ig The Vampire Diaries. and that's it. #(that list is for shows almost exclusively produced by the CW. CXG DID have other producing companies but it was largely the CW). #no show will ever quite be like Riverdale ever again and no show will ever reach the heights it did. #especially not on their shoestring CW budget. #like honestly i just need more Riverdale in my life. #like RAS and the writing team found such a great way to turn their weaknesses into strengths. #as an article on the show once said [paraphrased]: it was a great show that was really good at pretending to be bad. #even now nobody gets the show like i do. #everyone thinks it's some silly little show about crazy shit with crazy plotlines and pretty lighting and aesthetics but no substance— #when in reality it's an incredible pulpy anti-fascist text questioning the role of authority using those aesthetics for a larger purpose #but i'll save the real analysis for whenever i get around to actually making the Riverdale video essay i need in my life #unless Quinton Reviews or SuperEyepatchWolf beat me to it first. they're the only people who i think will actually understand the show. #like SuperEyepatchWolf's video on the show is already pretty fun even if it's a little dismissive of the substance of the show— #(tbf to him it only covered up until the S05 mid-season finale and S06 hadn't released yet) #but like he at least feels like he gets the spirit of the show. especially with the wrestling comparison. #and i hope i don't need to explain why Quinton would get it. #anyway. i need the Riverdale crew back.

Anyway, if you aren’t Black don’t use any variation of woke. I don’t care what conservatives are calling fuckers/using as the new sjw/political correctness/what have you.

If you know what fuckers mean use what they mean, and if you don’t why are you copying what people are saying?

Woke ain’t for you. If the discussion isn’t about Black people being aware of and/or educating other Black people about racism/antiblackness/structural inequality/all the other bullshit then it doesn’t need to be used in the discussion.

had an inappropriate giggling fit while watching the show finale of Star Trek: Picard because it was the climactic moment between Picard and [character], where Picard pulls them out of the darkness to his side by emotionally connecting with them, and they tried to do the "clip reel flashback to all the highlights of emotional connection" editing thing, but those two had had so few meaningful interactions that they literally just flashed through two scenes of dialogue, one of which had happened the previous day

#why did you even try to edit that in you KNOW you had no content for it #the low tier Marvel Studios movie vibes on this series are insane #I saw a post yesterday that was like #'star trek picard really said the real found family is the biological family you didn't know about until a few days ago' #and I keep laughing about that too CPT PICARD LITERALLY PARAPHRASED THAT IN THE SAME SCENE screaming crying throwing up etc #star trek #star trek picard

War Anniversary Press Conference

As always

it's not 1:1

quotes are marked

I paraphrase and summarize

I could get things wrong because too fast or I don't hear the translator or ...

(First few minutes are missing because of issues with my internet.)

Like everyone else in society, Ze says, he changed too. Got tougher.

He tries to be as honest as possible when he talks / to everyone. But sometimes he can't talk about all the details.

Ze says very important new detail about France support is coming soon - but he wants Macron to announce it

Ze still hopes in Congress support because otherwise he can't understand in which world we live in in

he met with Congress members and they know all the details what they need and Ukraine hopes for a soon decision

there are security garanties for the money from the US

Ukraine must be supported today not till the end or the end will come soon

the Poland matter is an internal matter, a political power struggle

using Ukraine as a pressure on EU insitutions is not fair

it is important to mantain the alliance with Poland, Ze says

if they don't find a solution, Ukraine will protect it's business

Russian matter is strong / intense in several places

Ukraine has reduced their advantage but they still have advantage

Ukraine has to reach the point where they can conduct a CO, until that point they will still loose land

but it's more important to not loose (more) people

Ukraine needs to put pressure on the partner's on the already agreed packages so Ukraine gets stuff and can succeed against Russia

the US support is not about money, it's about weapons

Ukraine has the weapons they have and that's it - they need more weapons to continue

there are different types of weapons

if US doesn't deliver, sime weapons could be given to Ukraine from other countries but that's difficult because not all countries want to give their weapons

Europe is really shifting and changing to increase production (ammunition, artillery, defense), their attitude towards the war is changing and understanding that Russia / Putin / the war is also dangerous to them

they start to understand that Putin will continue is war

Ze says the problem is not the military sector not being ready, the problem is that the European socities are not ready for Putin to come to them and he hopes Putin will not come to them - hence why it's important for Ukraine to be strong and fight (and defeat Putin)

Ze says Ukraine lost about 31,000 soldiers in the war so far

Russia: 180,000 (total amount 500,000 - KIA, WIA)

they don't know for sure how many civilians have been killed by Russia because several places are still occupied and people have been deported

every partner believes that Ukraine will be in NATO in the future

US and Germany are the main ones who have a lot to do with the invitation to NATO

Ze sees no risks of Ukraine in NATO

Ze and Putin had an unofficial meeting during the Nomady meeting in December 2019

Ze explained Putin that the agreements would not work and it would not work how Putin imagined it, especially with the troops still present

they talked about the possible frozen conflict for 20 years

they also talked about the exchange

Ze doesn't remember all the details because it's so long ago, like from a different life

Taurus missiles are important

Ze is thankful for the strong German support / support from the Chancellor

the US still stands above Germany and Ze sees the problem in the US not in Germany

but Ze is optimistic that US will move their position and they will get results / what they need

Ukraine speaks about jets with partners and that's all he wants to say

if partners continue their support depends on a lot of things: diplomatic contact, upcoming election results, society, ...

Russia will try everything to underminde the support

Ukraine improving the production in droes

everything is about making Putin a poorer person because that's what Putin cares a lot about

if the frozen Russian money is transferred to Ukraine it will weaken Putin, Ze thinks

big oligarchs and big businesses will not be happy (Russian ones)

if Putin gets poorer (like with transfering the money) he will start calling everyone not just Ze to stop the war

Ze knows that Canada supports Ukraine

the new document with Canada will support and strength Ukraine until they're in NATO

Ukraine would be happy if Aserbaidschan would support Ukraine and Ze thinkgs they would because they support the sovereignty of Ukraine

Ukraine is working on the countries who don't support Ukraine to join them

Ze thinks this is not the weakest moment

February 24 was a shocking moment

the most difficult period was that the world started to forget that the war is still going on, not only because of the Middle East

neverthelss they feel the effect with less weapons

the first year was all about survival, the second about resilience

third year will be a difficult year (elections, fatigue, ...), full of challenges, it's a turning year

this year will define the format of the ending of this war

Ze doesn't understand why they spilt the grain - he understands it's about politics but still doesn't understand it

it's bad that Poland's actions (the spilled grain) is playing into Russian Propaganda and that shouldn't be

it's not happening on Ukraine territory so Poland has to / can stop it, not Ukraine

Ze is not telling the Polish gouvernemnt what to do, that's not his right, but in regards of relations it's not right what the people do at the border

the longer this war goes the bigger will be the casualities (civilian, military)

losing time means losing money which is frustrating

the longer the war the longer the horrors for the people

the longer the war the longer it's hard for the countries who support

Ukraine can not loose time

(Huge part is missing because the livestream was having massive problems and made it impossible to follow.)

there has been evidence that Russia is using artillery and missiles from North Korea

there is nothing Ukraine can do besides help Ukraine

North Korea will continue to give weapons to Russia

Ukraine is not negotiating with partners on the use of their armys on Ukraine territory

strongest security guaranty would be Ukrain ein NATO

Ukraine will have a difficult time in the next few months because of the US

EU has shown their ability of leadership and support

Russia will prepare their CO at the beginning of summer / April if they can

Ukraine will be prepared for Russia

Ukraine will prepare their own planes

the US elections will show Ukraine what it will be after that

Ukraine prepares the first Peace Summit ad prepares the document about a just peace and the end of th war for Ukraine and everyone

what the end of the year looks like depends on a lot of factors

END

Ok along with the Eiffel regaining his memories with music, as like a “what happens in the future” thing the power of music relating to memory is also something that could work with the dear listeners.

Like music is not only something they haven’t conquered yet, but it is also potentially a new discovery for them about the connection music has to memory? Cause they obviously have a lot of knowledge about memory (lovelace’s memories, getting into Eiffel mind, etc.) but since they don’t understand music it’s a whole new facet to the memory thing!

Lol anyways I’m mostly rambling, but dear listeners and musical memory!

you know, that's got me thinking... the dear listeners can clearly reconstruct memory, they can access eiffel's memories, they can alter the mental infrastructure of other beings, lovelace's blood protects her and the others from pryce's mind control, etc. but how would they actually conceptualize memory? memory is in so many ways about how an individual person perceives the world around them - about bias, and change, and growth... self-perception, and the way we relate to others as singular beings trying to communicate our own experiences.

memory is clearly part of the "template" for the duplicates; they all show up like they were preserved exactly at the moment they were copied. the tiamat crew observed emerging differences between them, but i think that's mostly situational + perspective. at the moment they show up, they're the same, but everything that happens to them from that point on is going to be unique to them, and will shape them differently, even in little ways.

the dear listeners have a collective memory, awareness of concepts and knowledge like they implanted in eiffel's mind, but they don't have a concept of personal identity. would they even understand that connection between memory and music, or the significance of eiffel regaining his memory at all? is the understanding of memory as the part where "you" come in - the idea of a "you" in that sense at all - also a human concept within the context of the show?

i don't really have an answer to this, but i think i like what it suggests. if music is the hallmark of humanity, then that connection between music and some very human sense of self, things that have to be understood on a personal level... that the songs that resonate with eiffel can only resonate with him the way they do because he's eiffel. the soundtrack of his life isn't interchangeable with anyone else's.

#thank you!! i'm sorry this took me a few days to reply to!! i wanted to think about it. this feels very rambling #and i couldn't really think of a better way to communicate this idea so. i hope it makes enough sense. #it's always kind of hard to know how much to factor the dear listeners into stuff like this too because their presence is. by nature #on such a Big Picture timeline. #and the dear listeners... even the way they 'create' is so. stagnant. i'm not sure how to express it except... #there's a line from angel (paraphrased): 'after a while [a single note] is just noise. it's the change we're listening for - #the note after that and the one after that. that's what makes it music.' #asks

What makes Makima a good villain

have not read chainsaw man

HMMM hard question to answer but I'll try. I would say something I like about Makima is her development from a seemingly kind figure into something that becomes more undeniably hostile. although I would say that as the audience it's much easier to pick up on her real nature as there are plenty of hints (one of her first scenes is her telling denji that he has no choice but to be her metaphorical dog or she will have him killed) but if anything that adds to the tension because you can see something in her that the protagonists are oblivious to. but there's also a weird...comfort to her that's hard to deny even if you can tell something is very wrong? in the anime especially her voice is very hypnotic and collected and the way she composes herself is very captivating, I think there's a reason viewers get so unbelievably drawn into her because there is just something about her that makes the idea of her caring for you and providing for you addictive no matter what kind of hell and isolation that it comes with. Denji as a character is very very much a shonen protagonist for the modern age as at the beginning of the series he is shown living in severe levels of poverty that...are hard not to relate to in some way given how dire straits are for everyone who isn't born well off these days. So to see this starved and abused kid be taken into the arms and fed and housed and shown kindness by this perfect and ethereal woman...it's hard to deny the comfort in imagining yourself in that situation and having all of your worries and stresses taken care of regardless of what exactly she's putting you through in exchange.

There is a huge amount of tension that builds through the whole series as what Makima is capable of is revealed and the question of what Makima is becomes ever present in your brain, and watching any scenes of her with Denji gives the sensation of watching a snake slowly wrap around unassuming prey. The entire time you're waiting for her to finally strike, and when the other shoe finally drops the payoff is heart wrenching. I think Denji being a teenage boy is actually really important to the effectiveness of Chainsaw Man's story because Makima knows exactly how to play to his heart and desires so to string him along and get him to do exactly as she says. Denji is probably one of the most teenage boy characters I've ever seen LOL and she knows exactly how to play him in a way that is easy for adults to identify but hard for a teenager to see through. I've seen people call her a "groomer" and while I don't think that is a label that fits her since it carries very specific intentions and connotations that don't line up with her character I think elements of Chainsaw Man work really well as metaphors for certain kinds of abusive relationships/dynamics. I saw a comment once where someone said that Chainsaw Man helped them realize that their relationship was abusive and that makes complete sense to me.

ANYWAYS she's fascinating to me I really like her and I enjoy her complexities a lot. She's definitely one of my favorite villains in anything I've read/watched and I think she's awesome I think getting into Chainsaw Man is worth it just to see her in action alone. I am biased though because I really like scary manipulative women and I think she's kind of sexy which as you might have noticed I am very far from alone in if you've been online for the last 4 years

#askz #anon #i would recommend watching super eyepatch wolfs video on chainsaw man if you want to get the idea for why its so good #i definitely paraphrased him a few times here because I couldnt think of better ways to phrase things LOL #just dont watch the part after the patreon credits as it spoils the end and is for people who have already read csm lawl #csm #this started very casual and then kind of turned into an essay

[elizabethrobertajones]

Why does Castiel like Dean more than Sam

He really believed they were going to open a B&B in Vermont when it was all over and he was going to hold Dean to that.

my roommate said she finds jobhunting fun bc it gives her the illusion of feeling wanted when they call her back. do I need to intervene

#babygirl i can want u instead...... put down the phone #im paraphrasing a little. and joking like im glad its not just a miserable chore for her.. #shes staying at her current job rn so theres no pressure but itd be rly good if she can find somewhere better. keeping fingers crossed #i caaaannot imagine going back to jobhunting rn like i found it so painfully difficult. but ill probably tentatively start again - #in a few months. even if i dont rly actively wanna leave my job its good to put myself out there in case smth better comes up #ahhhh.. anyway. hope i dont get in too late today #bus stuck in traffic sighs.. #.diaries

[biblically-accurate-soup]

anyway yeah now that i’m thinking about it i have made a lot of improvements surrounding my own body image. proud of me lol look at me go

#talking about food and exercise stuff past this point #honestly it is a miracle my relationship with food isn’t weirder than it was all things considered #but i still remember paraphrased convo i had with a nutritionist a few years back when i talked about my weight #she straight up asked me if the number was the issue or if i would care less about the number on the scale if i knew i was being active #and like damn. literally so true #didn’t fix everything but it has changed that relationship with myself a bit #i have the body type that i will likely never fall into the ‘healthy’ bmi range #(fuck bmi but that’s a different rant and tangent’ #so definitely it would be sooo unsustainable and miserable if i focused on numbers #instead getting involved in sword club and fun sports classes has been much more beneficial #my weight is roughly the same but i don’t get as tired when swinging around a longsword #and that’s way cooler than trying to force my square body into a circle hole. you know #does this make sense is this coherent #anyway. hope this can maybe help others who are in similar spots #your body isn’t for other people it’s for you to do what you want with it #uriel posting

[lexicals]

Someone left a nice comment on one of my tmbd fics a few days ago which lead to me doing a reread (seeing as that's where my brain is kind of at atm anyway bc of system collapse) which lead to me deciding to reread my Other tmbd fic (the film script one) and being reminded that I never finished it but Also realising that I had posted less of it than I thought fsr? It took me a minute to find the doc but I had a whole ass chapter of it I just never put up, and it was a fun one too

Anyway tldr I might do a quick edit on that and put it up soon, even if I don't actually commit to finishing the whole thing

#wastepaper basket #This after I just talked a few days ago about not posting any fic in forever lmao #Straight up it's been over 2 years what the hell #We'll see anyway I think I started to feel weird abt that fic bc so much of it was just straight paraphrasing or repeating stuff from ASR #Which is kind of a given for the conceit but doesn't feel very transformative yk. Idk it feels weird

[jediexile]

with all this talk of height, I’m reminded of a post I read way back when describing atton as a stocky broad man with an inferiority complex bigger than he is

#paraphrasing bc that was probably like 15 years ago but that’s the gist #tbh that’s stuck with me ever since #I think of him as around 5’8 with my exile a few inches taller than that #I love the idea of mical being 6ft+ tho #kotor 2 #atton rand #also I think I read this in a forum?? wasn’t there a website w/a forum and kotor fics?
