#They must have been so annoying

"[Taylor]’s very British in the way that he has a mocking sense of humor."

Not sure that's what Nick meant by very British humor but butt-er cream with that accent had me on the floor😭

(Btw Tzp's post on ig is longer than the one on tiktok, even tho it doesn't have the audio so I put them together)

Just watched the latest Starkid livestream - yes of course I was awake at 5 am on a Sunday - and I love this very specific throughline of Darren's life. It is especially clear after listening to his recent episodes of And That's What You Really Missed. Darren has always pissed off the people around him by being happy when everyone else was stressed.

Nick and Matt went on a mini rant about their experience making Starship and how the show was so derailed by Darren getting cast in Glee. He barely managed to write half of the intended songs for that show - all in his trailer on the Glee set. Matt specifically recounted the story of Darren popping over to Chicago to surprise his friends while they were rehearsing and it was hilarious. Darren being Darren he thought they would all be thrilled to see him and just thrilled to be doing a new musical, but instead he was met with dead silence, followed by a demand for the rest of the songs.

This man is forever happy to be making fun things with a big group of people. And the people around him have to deal with it.

The actual world inside Darren's head VS everyone around him:

#I did love what he said on ATWYRM #like he fully acknowledged how annoying that can be #if it's a really stressful day and he is fucking bouncing off the walls in his giddiness #Jenna and Kevin both seemed to imply his joy was consistent and at times very grating #which is 100% fair #he must have been told to shut the fuck up so many times on the set of Glee and in Starkid shows #Darren #Starkid #Glee #I will say I do love the Starship songs so damn much #especially The Way I Do #it's a beautiful love song

'Death Scream is a demon curse. I haven't killed one yet who used that ability'. Yoo Mia's cheeks puffed up from beside him and she asked, "What is it Oppa?" "It's nothing." Yoo Joonghyuk hesitated for a moment before adding, "…It seems that guy is doing something bothersome again." "That guy?" "There is such a person." Yoo Mia watched her brother, who had spoken in a cold voice. There was a nuance different from usual in his voice. It was a small change, like a grain of rice, but Yoo Mia was able to perceive the change. It was because Yoo Joonghyuk was her oppa. "Are you referring to that ugly ahjussi?" "…" "Oppa looks happy when talking about that ahjussi." Yoo Joonghyuk was embarrassed when he saw his smiling sister and he replied sharply. "You are mistaken." "Is that so?"

Joonghyuk: "That guy" (affectionate)

lucy gray baird's philosophy

I want to "yes, and" this great meta post by @burst-of-iridescent​. Specifically this part:

by the end of the book, coriolanus gives in fully to dr gaul’s way of thinking simply because it excuses him from accepting blame for his actions. if he killed sejanus, it’s because he had no choice. if he betrayed lucy gray, it’s because she would’ve betrayed him first. coriolanus refuses to believe in the goodness of humanity because that would have meant accepting the goodness that existed within him, and with that came the potential for making a different, better choice - potential that he knew, deep down, he had wasted. attributing his crimes to an innate evil that no one can overcome means that he can’t be held accountable, because it’s out of his control.

This got me thinking about how much Lucy Gray's worldview rejects of this way of thinking (and of a Calvinist*/ableist "some people are just born evil" pov people try to impose on the text, which people think is condemning him but actually... accidentally agrees with him that he was born evil and therefore can't help it??????). The book begins with several quotes chosen by the author, but I believe the one that represents Lucy Gray's worldview is Rousseau, who believed people were born with fundamental goodness.

Here's a source on him:

(Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

And here's the quote Collins opens with:

“Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains.” — Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract, 1762

That's Lucy Gray's pov she's come to through living and reflecting as an artist; someone can disagree with it (of course, all of these questions are open for endless debate; they have been debated endlessly!) however, it's important to respect that is where she's coming from, not being foolish or naive. It is a worthy pov that should be respected, even if you disagree. And that she came to this pov through a hard life and from much thinking and she expresses it beautifully in her art.

Here's the key exchange from the book, after Coriolanus has taken on the idea that people are just awful and her articulating her philosophy in response:

(Ballad, 495)

She's not naive. She recognizes the nuance that Rousseau does, that society shapes us. And Panem is pretty clearly a society led by people applying all the pressures they can think of on people toward evil. (And, after his heel turn, Coriolanus' is going to innovate some new pressures...) Clearly there are situations and circumstances that form us before we have much say in it, but that's not the same as being born evil.

The difference between inherent goodness and a corrupt society is, for Lucy Gray, a lot of hard work. It's a struggle. This repudiates both the version of "born evil" Coriolanus himself takes on, which relieves him of responsibility, and the self-righteous, Calvinist and/or ableist pov people keep arguing for, which makes "normal" people feel like they can be sure they're good (and ignore how we are all complicit in evil to some degree or another) because they have a "good" normal brain or they were just born so pure as a soul predestined for heaven. No, for her, everyone has to do the work. To her it's everyone's "life's challenge to try and stay on the right side of that line."

Even more pointedly, the love song she wrote him before his betrayal, "Pure as the Driven Snow," articulates her philosophy in the opening lines:

(Ballad, 481)

Again, we have her personal focus on the work of "staying on the right side" of good and evil after being born good into evil circumstances. She knows it hurts; she's led a hard life herself. "It's rough as a bair" to do that work, it's "like walkin' through fire." But it is doable.

Lucy Gray meant it as a love song but IMO "Pure as the Driven Snow" ends up a lament for the boy Coriolanus was and her love that he betrayed when he betrayed himself. And it is a direct rejection of his excuses, it is inadvertently reading him for filth for the lies he tells himself that all the world is the Games arena, all people are selfish and bad, and he isn't to blame for what he's done because he just wants to come out on top/be the victor of this "natural" "war of all against all" that is Gaul's philosophy (related to the Hobbes quote Collins begins with; I wrote a meta on that here) that he adopts.

I see her demeaned as a foolish girl who just "like bad boys" and I get so frustrated. I also get frustrated by the view that she must not have ever been sincere in loving or trusting him because IF SHE WAS then she would be a fool and his betrayal would somehow be her fault. And she'd reject the idea that she's "good" just because she's so pure or that anyone can claim we're good without doing a lot of hard work.

(Ballad, 482)

She is so thoughtful and interesting as a character. And she didn't just "like bad boys" - Coriolanus showed only his good side to her until the very end, once he'd decided to kill that part of himself. She had no way of knowing. Sometimes you trust someone and they betray you, it doesn't make you wrong, the shame is all theirs.

*Strict Calvinist predestination is some people are just predetermined to be bound for heaven and some for hell, some people are just born good and others are born bad. A lot of people in fandom seem to love Calvinism idk why. The ableism bit of this should be self-evident: there is no such thing as a "bad" brain type completely incapable of morality or a "good" brain and neurodivergence is not the source of all evil!

#lucy gray baird #thg meta #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #the hunger games #disagree with her if you want - but respect that her pov is philosophically sound and insightful #and i prefer the reading of the text where she's right and gaul and post heel turn coriolanus are wrong... #he could have kept trying to be good and loving for that girl #people dismissing her or being like 'she was constantly lying like a GIRLBOSS' is just so annoying - she's great as herself thank you #reject the idea that women are to blame for bad things people do #reject the idea that women are to blame for loving #that it must have been her fault somehow

Why is he like this? (We all know why he's like this. And we love him for it.)

I feel like people need to remember the phrase, its not banter its bullying, when it comes to Sunny and Phil, whether or not he’s intended it he’s been way more aggressive towards this egg he doesn’t know, and without directing these “jokes” to any of the other eggs. That is a child he is an adult and if he is making this literal baby feel bad with his comments (mind you ones he makes without the kid even being there sometimes) maybe he shouldn’t be making them, maybe thats something to look into and analyze. Going actually this toddler needs to just get used to Phil’s jokes and he’s doing nothing wrong, ignores Phils own attempts to rp a more morally complex character and blames a child for being hurt.

Let characters have flaws, do I need to give you a qtubbo character flaw involving his “jokes” to make you understand this isn’t a personal attack. Tubbo has huge self-doubt and self-confidence issues which stems from feeling of never being able to do what he really set out for, because of this he tries to talk himself up. Generally though he is unable to see himself in a better light so he instead talks down his friends in an extreme and exaggerated ways. While the comments are joke-y they are still unfair to the people he’s directing them to especially since he always says this stuff in private. Making a joke out of your friends to feel better about yourself isn’t evil but it’s still a character flaw.

Also if you’re gonna make a response to my other post don’t add in argument I didn’t make about Phil and Tubbo’s relationship so you can feel smart. It just shows that you had nothing to stand on in the first place, and most likely agree with what Im saying. (Reference to multiple tweets and posts)

#Val ramblings #Fandom neg #qsmp fandom neg #discourse #Fandom annoys me sometimes its so hard to enjoy characters with flaws when people are just unable to admit they are there #Or downplay them to a degree were it’s impossible to really talk about them #Qphil is just some guy and so is qtubbo but ignoring that hes been going far past joking about tubbo is just not it #Tubbo says wow your old old man and phil responds wow everything you have ever built for your child sucks a train cart could never be home #Your kid must be suffering in your care??? Like do you not see the difference #Qsmp #i waited to tag that last one because I didn’t want it to be at the top of the tags

And I was right to hound them. 🙃 Finally got the wheelchair place to send me a copy of the order form and they did shit incorrectly.

They listed my seat depth as 19", as in 19" from ass to knee. I am NOT tall. My current chair, which I had with me for the appt, is 17" depth and still digs into my knees a little. How the fuck the order form says 19" is beyond me.

#Trying to say my tiny ass is 19“ from ass to knee 😭 I can't reach cabinets standing the fuck are you talking about #Do you have EYES #.log #wheelchair journey #There was also other stuff they got wrong but the seat depth thing was the egregious one #MRI place is being annoying though they assumed I must not have been seeing the flex/ext images on the cd so now I gotta bring it with me #to the next MRI. As if I cannot navigate Pictures on CD

ㅤbeen thinking today about how byan's anger can be really scary to witness... it's very... raw. anger is the emotion they feel the most intensely, and the one they filter the least. it's raw, it's heated, and it's very instinct-driven — they have very little control over it, and they're certainly not thinking before they do or say anything. impulses are followed, whether it's to lash out and cause harm to whatever has hurt them, or to throw or break whatever is within arm's reach just to release even a little bit of the energy that's overwhelming them. they don't know what else to do with it. literally no thoughts, all that their mind can focus on is the emotion; they just want to get it out and stop feeling this way (and/or ensure the person who's pissed them off gets what they deserve) and they'll do whatever it takes to ensure that. i think that lack of control really shows too, like it's palpable in the air and adds an extra layer of discomfort and uncertainty if you're in the same room as them. concern for one's own safety is valid in such a scenario too tbh, because they have hurt people in the past who they never would have caused harm to normally (both directly and indirectly; sometimes by their own hand, other times as an unintended consequence of them throwing/breaking something). it's not something they're proud of, but they also just... don't know what to do about it. ...they're honestly afraid of their own anger, at times. afraid of what they're capable of and what they might one day do.

#there's also a lot of yelling and cursing...... screaming too but that's only in THE MOST extreme cases #and they've been known to hurt themself if there's nothing else around to take the anger out on. #or like. unintentionally hurting themself by punching walls & getting into fights and shit #this is an absolute mess it's just me spewing my thoughts to get them out of my head #one day i'll write a proper & cleaner headcanon about it... explain it better... #but i'm having a hard time putting my thoughts into actual coherent & detailed words tonight so just like. take this for now lmao #byan is such an emotional creature & they don't know how to regulate what they feel #they just feel it and must do something about it... #am i making sense?? is what i'm trying to convey coming through?? #i'm so annoyed bc i can't find half the words i'm searching for to properly explain this the way i want to lmao #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ headcanon ⋮ danger in the fabric of this thing i made.

not to be annoying but every time a musical theater song gets popular on tiktok an indescribable rage courses through my veins and i start spitting venom like those dragons from wings of fire

#i never felt that strongly about six the musical until some girls started singing some 15 second soundbite that must be a tiktok song #(okay sidenote have tag character limits been getting smaller or has my inability to shut up just gotten worse. hello) #anyway i don't even dislike the Tiktok Girls in my class but i stg i am going to take their phones and undownload the app for them #it's so annoying. and it's sooo petty and it does not matter but it actually drives me up the wall #.txt

So, you gonna play the new Hades game?

sorry just saw this notif on my desktop. i dont know why im not seeing asks on mobile??

anyways. YEAH! and im not gonna lie, im probably gonna spend most my time obessed with hypnos again unless this game hands me another muppet of a guy

#also #idk if its me #but its kinda funny how in the og it felt like there must have been a writer who thought hypnos was annoying #and hypnos comes back in this game to say absolutely nothing #i know i spent too long in spn where writers hate their audience and enact psychological warfare on them #so im ready to believe that that writer got even more annoyed when hypnos was pretty well liked #also im sorry if u wanted me to talk about generals of the game #i can but i will default to my sleepy guy #i hope u can still fish in game #or are we sticking to craft mode for mel ?

totk!au where when link gets the purah pad it Speaks to him like ‘hello link, I am Mi, the spirit that inhabits this device. If you require any guidance or have any questions, just raise your hand and call on me, and I’ll try my best to help you out!’ and that’s the last hand ability instead of it being a second map shortcut and when you use it you flip the purah pad to it’s eye side and you can ask it for ideas on what to do and it will suggest the nearest activated quest location (bonus: if it’s a quest like misko’s treasure where the quest isn’t where the quest marker is it says to go to the location not the marker) or you can ask for a weather update and see the weather for the next 24 hours in your location or ask for helpful tips etc., kind of like Fi’s menu in ss

but as you continue through the game it becomes clearer and clearer that only you can hear Mi’s voice and when robbie reaches the ancient tech lab and you’ve upgraded all of the things you can upgrade, you have the dialogue option to say ‘is there a Mi upgrade?’ to which robbie responds that he has no idea what you’re talking about and that they don’t have the ability to make technology speak

and you can press Mi about it after in the Mi Menu but all she says is ‘… the Zonai were masters of technology. They were very interested in the pad that Zelda brought from the future.’

and i think you know where i’m going with this, when you get around to going to the thunderhead and start mineru’s questline her voice comes from inside the purah pad and she reveals that she has been Mi the entire time, she’d always meant to accompany link but when she awoke she discovered the construct she planned on using was corrupted, so she decided to help link where she could from within the purah pad, and she’s sorry for deceiving you but there was so much to do and now she can help link as the sage of spirit

and as a bonus the hand ability becomes talking to mineru’s construct because it’s weird that when she’s with you she acts like the other’s spirit doubles except she’s actually there and not just a manifestation of their wills

#totk spoilers #totk #mineru #mineru totk #it would have been a really hard thing to get right writing wise for nintendo for it not to come across as cheesy or childish #or annoying bc so many people hate companion characters for No Reason #But i think the payoff would have been really cool #i’m on fire today w these original posts my neurons must be aligning or smth

this is the dumbest fucking post ive ever seen

first of all. you got dick and jason mixed up bro.

#'end of story' would be a hell of a lot more reasonable to say if #jason and tim becoming brothers had Literally Ever At All been put into canon. at all!!!!!!! #it was not!!!!!!!! #unlike for example dick and tim who very mutually brotherzoned each other as an on-panel rship development #genuinely so irritatingbc i do think its plauible 4 tim to've had a crush on jason as robin but i get associated with this kind of dipshit #completely talking out their rear end and skipping over the fucking #very obvious 'childhood heroworship crush turned brother' relationship thats right fucking there #bc like nothing I've read or even anything ive seen out of context actually makes it seem like tim and jason have a brotherly relationship #lmao. like at all. they literally just like say that they're brothers sometimes and ig the reader is supposed to take them at their word #compared to dick and tim who have so much goddamn pagetime of Actually behaving like brothers after they land on the label #truly the only goddamn way tim and jason are brothers is if you buy into the transitive property of found family #(meaning for example if Tim became dicks brother and jason also became dicks brother then it must be true that tim and jason are brothers) #which i do not. because its not a fucking thing #god you people are so fucking dumb and annoying #dc
