can’t wait when white supremacists find out there’s white muslims and that christian & jewish women in africa experience fgm too

#when they pretend to care about these issues but don’t even know the basics on it #like u really care about fgm so deeply but never bothered to find out it’s not actually limited to a certain religion #they care so much about mandatory hijab but not enough to know that getting stoned to death for not wearing a hijab #is not a common practice whatsoever #move to kosovo if u think religion is race. have fun with the white men there #or move to russia since u think it’s great for women as long as ur among white men

Almost forgot to look at the tags in that Giordano post, I'm glad that Cardinals being higher than Archbishops was something you mentioned, and that I was remem that fact correctly :). And I love that Machete surpasses someone who thought him to be a "good for nothing". Go white boy go!

.

#that sure pissed off that old man Giordano #didn't see that one coming #becoming a bishop is a very big deal #archbishop is an extra prestigious bishop that leads a particularly important diocese #and above both are cardinals #you usually have to be a bishop first to become one but it hasn't always been strictly mandatory there's lots of rules and exceptions #I think Machete is a bishop but largely in name only #in practice he kind of shortcutted from being a priest to a cardinal with very little bishophood in between #Vatican was kind of a wild west back then and in the end it's within Pope's power to grant these titles however he sees fit #and Machete was Pope's trusted personal assistant for years #moreover if you compare church ranks to secular royalty/nobility cardinals are equal to princes #so when you look at the power dynamics they're only second to pope as well as actual kings and queens #at least that's the case in Machete and Vasco's times I'm not sure about the present day #Vasco is a count so he's actually significantly lower in the hierarchy despite being blue-blooded #but neither of them have really internalized that #when they met Vasco came from a rich family and Machete was a no-name social climber #answered #anonymous

Everyday goes a little something like this. I open tumblr and check the pathologic tag to find art because the vibe patho artists capture is exquisite.

I immediately see someone making fun of Daniil for having highly specific special interests that he likes talking about.

I ignore it and scroll further only to see another 5 posts calling him annoying for oh wait give me a second *rereads text posts making fun of Daniil* showing symptoms of autism.

I sigh like a depressed disappointed father. I close tumblr.

#pathologic #daniil dankovsky #making fun of him can be funny #I’ve definitely laughed at a joke at his expense more than once #but I constantly see him being ridiculed for doing things that are just blatant acts of neurodiversity #he wears specific clothes oh what a whiny spoiled city boy #he speaks a language he learned as a mandatory part of his medical education that god forbid he actually enjoyed and uses in his day to day #he’s so annoying #he doesn’t understand social cues and responds in a way that I find weird let’s all laugh #he responds to certain situations aggressively because of trauma oh what an evil bad man let’s not examine this any further #he’s just mean and that’s it #I’m so tired of seeing a character I love being mocked for the exact same things I’m mocked for in real life #he actually values sanitation and hygiene and reacts to unsanitary medical practices with sceptisim what a ignorant jerk #I know I sound bitter don’t worry I’m not oblivious to it #but I think some people saw the way the townsfolk reacted to Daniil and immediately assumed they’re all right #as if one of the main components of the game isn’t how the townsfolk are abrasive and rude to strangers and outsiders #some of you for real sound like a judgemental isolated inhabitant of the town that saw daniil and immediately decided he’s not welcome

The only thing that is stopping Bitterbat from being a completely creepy and fucked up character is the fact Sweetheart is into him being unhinged as hell and doesn't bat an eye to it.

That hint of "oh this is kinda fucked up" is key to them working as a couple and scratching that villain x hero itch that a lot of stuff misses for me because everything is really tame when it comes to romance between a hero and a villain. I of course have a high tolerance for stuff so of course I am always prepped for going into the deep end of things.

I honestly think that creepy undertone is my favorite thing about Licorice. It has a pinch of that "problematic" to it just so it hits right.

#rocky rambles #bitterbat #bitterbat is inspired by kisshu so of course he has to be fucked up-it's practically mandatory #i keep saying it over and over again but i just KNOW someone will yell at me about how creepy bitterbat is in the future #even though that is lowkey the point-he was designed that way because it makes him cuter #sweetheart loves her little batwinged creep

hi i’m in college and considering becoming an accountant which if i recall right is what you are. would you recommend that career path to others? i am hesitant to commit bc i feel like it’s a ton of work and hours for just-okay compensation but on the other hand i have no idea what ELSE i would do. i crave stability. basically I’m just second guessing my major and i was hoping to get the perspective of someone who’s already been through it to know if it’s worth it or if i should just major in marketing or something

if you want stability then accounting is where it's at

i'm in governmental accounting and i work 40 hours a week, no overtime. also i'm union. if you work in public accounting doing taxes then you get a hell month leading up to taxes being due, but other than that it's not so bad (or so i've heard) (i haven't done it). i assume managerial accountants in corporate environments make more money but i'm not checking.

anyway you're unlikely to make as much money as, like. a software engineer. but you might make as much as a baby programmer. as far as office jobs you can do on autopilot once you get going, it's hard to beat accounting. the classes are all way harder than the job, so if you can handle the classes, you'll do fine at the job.

honestly at worst you can use it as a jumping off point into different jobs. the number of jobs where you both actually require a degree, and where the school you went to doesn't matter, is kind of limited once you look into it. with an accounting degree you can still theoretically become a programmer, or a data analyst, or whatever—it's just that you can also become a cpa, which isn't an option if you get a compsci degree. you know?

#original #i don't know how much sense I'm making #I'm tired #anyway i briefly went for a cs degree #but all else aside i knew way too many people with high paying tech jobs #who didn't have a degree and spoke poorly of cs degrees #like. constant emphasis on experience and practical ability being way more important than the degree. #which is great unless you're getting a cs degree in which case it's disheartening #that's not a problem with accounting #no one ever tells you you can become a cpa without the degree because It's Mandatory #there are other jobs like that but mostly things like law and health #which first of all. are hard. but second of all your school matters. #no one cares where you got your accounting degree

Having many family members who are of vastly different cultures and ethnicities is fun and all until they get to you and ask what you are.

#like culturally I’m Native American (Cree. Mi’kmaq. Dene. and Taino) #like my Caribbean chapan literally passed down her family’s spiritual traditions #so uh. ceremony is a bit different #ethnically I think I’m just indigenous #but like it changes drastically for my parents #my mom is native and Asian #while her mom is culturally Asian and native #dad is native #while his mom is French and native #his dad is native #all while being Latino and Fijian decent #no joke I have cousins who are actually from fiji all thanks to my third chapan #and the thing is that they all passed down stories and cultures #they just stopped when residential schools became mandatory #so the cultural practices and family history all stopped with my grandparents. #my parents saw the remnants of it #they just weren’t told anything #it was a whole can of worms we unleashed #coming from generations of mixed people is difficult #but it definitely makes a cool story! #like a whole family album would be insane to look at

hiii pls tell us about the ultimate frisbee drama from college <3

so i was not on the team but i was friends w some of the girls and went to some parties but

like. for instance i went on a date w a girl from the ultimate frisbee team after matching on tinder to meet for a drink at the campus bar at like 11pm. but we ran into my friend from the team who took me aside to reveal 1. this girl has a long term boyfriend (didn’t mention this to me once while messaging or on the date) and 2. to remind the girl i was on a date w that the team was leaving the next morning at 4am for a tournament so why the fuck was she in a bar and so my date promptly left me at 11:30 w a whole pitcher of beer to deal w myself

one of my closer friends on the team fully maintains she is straight and i had no reason to disbelieve her all four years i knew her until this year while attending ultimate frisbee ragers i saw her slip into a closet w one of the other (lesbian. obv) girls and asked what was up and the team lmk that for a year they have been hooking up and professing love and then when my friend wakes up she is straight again and pretends like it didn’t happen and it’s been driving the other girl insane

#also just general incestuous insane shit #also they had mandatory 5am practice??? for ultimate frisbee??? #answered #ivecarvedawoodenheart

What made KinnPorsche (besides the cinematography, direction, locations, and more) was how committed the actors were to giving their characters 100000 PERCENT. They treated their on screen time as seriously as Shakespearen actors, as if the source material was sacred and deserved careful attention to nuance and detail.

I always hate watching a BL that seems embarrassed to be a BL. I recently watched Manner of Death and I felt soooo bored by the whole production. No one seemed invested in their characters enough to try to sell the emotions, the individuality, the quirks and expressions that could have brought the script (the romance, the drama, the shady aspects) to life. I also watched Second Chance, and while the show was just a simple slice of life last month of school drama - everyone took their character soooo seriously (in a good way!). Even the side characters, even the unnamed characters, they stayed in their roles so you could see them in the background still selling it even when not in focus. By contrast those two shows illustrate how dedicated actors can elevate an otherwise so-so scripted show. Just think of Addicted. It was just two dudes going back and forth to school but it was spellbinding because everyone, especially the leads, wanted to embody their characters and their relationship.

I also think KinnPorsche knew what it was - a cult classic in the making. Maybe because it had such a long hiatus between the teaser and the show filming - and they had the time to see how excited everyone was, how much their characters meant to the fandom. We are talking extensive character devotion. We’re talking about a fandom knowing the names of the characters as well as the actors who played them. As an American, this is doubly impressive as I don’t generally see this in English discussions. Threads casually mentioning Jom or Time and the fandom nodding along, knowing exactly which face to put with that name.

I also think employing two male models as the lead actors went a long way. Not just because they are ridiculously handsome and look great in everything and have an uncanny instinct to work with lighting and angles. But because male models are used to touching men. Casually. They will drape their arms around each other and stay that way while makeup is touched up, hair fluffed, clothing arranged. I always think of Coffee Prince, the way the boys just lounged about sitting close together, legs propped up, head on each other’s shoulders. The body language of intimacy and comfort. They weren’t all models, but the ones that were… they lead the herd mentality, so to speak. They were handsome and muscular and they did not mutter no homo while rubbing each other’s backs between takes. This level of comfort is contagious and can spread throughout the cast.

What other LGBTQIA+ shows can you think of that just SOLD you on the characters? Where you could tell they really, really wanted their role to be without fault - that every scene was an opportunity to do more with their character, even if they are just lurking in the background of a shot. I want to watch some more BL but am struggling with these shows… help me

#kinnporsche #kinn porsche #kinnporsche the series #best bl #I do not even understand why shows get made were the two leads have no chemistry #you’d think there is nothing easier than getting attractive people to pretend to be (or genuinely be) attracted to each other but nope #though even worse is when the characters DO have good chemistry but just freeze up with the intimacy #mandatory kissing workshops for all romance dramas from now on - gay or straight - practice makes perfect

speaking of my best friends :, -, and ,, im an art history/visual culture major and i write these really fucked up 50-100 word sentences in a lot of my assignments and i joke about that often to classmates but earlier today i was reading an article about impressionism for class and i was looking at some of these quarter-page long sentences like damn. maybe im in the right field

#maybe i fit right in #i have a hashtag learning disability so i was using a text to speech software my school gives me to help me read it #and its pretty good but the combination of french impressionism words and the super long sentences..... #it was tripping up a little there hJKFJKDKSFJds #but you know what. im sorry im not very humble about this but im like a pretty good writer in academia at least #my 100 word sentences are perfectly crafted. theyre unstoppable. unrelenting #my professors love my 100 word sentences. they love them. we love carefully constructed 100 word sentences #you know i dont think i talk about my school situation in detail much #im double majoring (is a fool and a buffoon) in both like fine art practice and also art history #very funny being someone who loves visual culture and art history studies being in my art practice classes #full of my peers who have to take a couple mandatory art history classes and fucking HATE It #i understand tho. it can be. dense. #we love our 100 word sentences here

[capfalcon]

professors will say that they're "disability friendly" and then set hard deadlines with no late work, require mandatory attendance and also not be accessible outside of specific hours like babe. you're not disability friendly and also if someone has to ask you to grant them disability accomodations, they're not accessible.

#im so fuckin tired #of having to beg and grovel and be like #and make up all these excuses #when the truth is like #i forgot!!!!!! and theyll be like #no we cant accomodate that #as if it isnt a core tenet of my disability. #as if forgetfullness isnt a CORE part of what adhd is #oh and lack of focus. and motivation. gee those both seem like things that might affect schoolwork #and instead its like can i have some accomodations please. and theyre like sure! fill out these 5 forms and then we'll give u someone to #take notes for you #and its like i dont need a fucking note taker i need my professors to stop making it mandatory to go to every single class bc i will #not have the emotional or mental energy for that every single day #or! hey give me a grace period w my fuckin homework #and then neurotypicals will be like #'oh thats not a disability u just want to get out of doing work' my guy. shut up #like its just this fundamental misunderstanding of what disability accomodations are #and the inherent practice of needing to go through all these hoops is so. why.

rrrrrrrrr im so frustrated with my writing. its just been weeks of struggle and whyyyy. idk i think i need to rework or rethink what im going for with this one or something, its like i can feel the threads of the themes i wanna do are sooo close to tying together but it just isnt quite reaching yet and so it reads like a stilted bland mess but the more i stare at it the further away it feels aaah

i know it can get there i kNOW it can, the ending and like aha moment is so cleaaaar that i think its almost too solid and thats why my beginning feels so fucked—like i just keep asking myself 'well if hes gonna get there in chapter 5, whats stopping him from getting there now in chapter 2??' i tHOUGHT i had reasons but now that im there i just keep instinctually writing him to have the connecting/realization moment anyway and like. if that's how it is then what even IS the story??? i need a break

#leaving for my parents for christmas tomorrow and while its always a little lowkey stressful there esp during holidays #itll be nice to at least have a different stress than this one for a few days lmao #mandatory writing break coming at a good time ig #anyway a lot of the real problem is that a big reason i wanted to write this fic is bc i wanted to explore tsukkis mental space during #the ball boy arc bc i feel like its an interesting transitional time for him in terms of like being after his big moment but then #he slightly regresses in that post match bathroom scene until yamaguchi sets him straight and like. i love just how furudate is showing #that growth isnt linear and so i wanna explore how tsukki would feel during the camp (which he didnt seem stoked to go to) #and in contrast with hinata who couldnt go but weasels in anyway and like how does tsukki deal with #that intensity of stupidity and passion in regards to how he feels about his own relationship to volleyball now #like i dont think its a straight line from blocking ushijima -> admitting yeah sometimes volleyball is fun #i think theres some wavering in there and oooo i wanna explore it but FUCK its hard?? #why furudate why does tsukki deny extra practice the first night of rookie camp but accepts the second night?? #i know why he accepts night 2 im excited abt that. i'm big time struggling with pinpointing why he says no night 1 in a way #that doesnt come off like 1 hes fully regressing 2 like im having him say no purely bc thats how it is in canon so magical ~plot reasons~ #truthfully furudates reason is probably just 'was funny to have tsukki and kunimi say no in unison' and it isnt out of character for #tsukki to say no either but i also can feeeel it i can feeel the threads of a solid character developmental reason that will fit with #all the OTHER stuff im also trying to do lmao #i just need to piece it together in the right way in the right order and right emphasis #and its so cloooose rn but ugh it just feels wishwashy atm #and so. i struggle lmao #eesh anyway fun tag rant yay #heres to hoping not thinking about this for a week will help #x #....who wants to take bets on whether ill delete this later lol
