NOT THE KIERAN VILLAIN ARC I’M SO UPSETTI SPAGHETTI

#Wait. This feels. Familiar… #Teenage boy who’s always been an outcast…just wanting to prove himself.. #Just wanting to be acknowledged…and yet when he finally feels like he’s made a friend… #They unintentionally betray him…and that sets him off…and he can’t see past his own hurt and anger… #And then he betrays his friends BACK. And it’s a MESS. And he keeps SPIRALING #Yeah that’s REEAAALLL familiar #Sideeyes Varian #Anyway I just KNOW Kieran’s gonna get worse and it’s going to break my fucking heart. God DAMMIT #Might have to write a fix-it fic for this. Lmao #Shima speaks #Pokemon #Pokemon SV #Pokemon SV DLC #The Teal Mask #The Teal Mask spoilers #Pokemon spoilers #Kieran #Pokemon Kieran

Future Crunch just paywalled their good news for "Energy" and "Technology"??? Which it looks like is about half of all their Good News?? (x)

I'm not particularly surprised because I WAS wondering how they made enough money to stay solvent, but I am dismayed

Partly on my own principles and partly because this kinda feels like it does/should go against their whole ethos??

Like if your big mission statement is "If we want to change the story of the human race in the 21st century, we have to change the stories we tell ourselves" (x) ....maybe you shouldn't paywall those stories???

That sounds very counterproductive and like you're taking access to good news away from a lot of people who need/want to hear it the most??? Esp in people in countries whose currency is much weaker than the US dollar??

#not news #I debated about posting this bc it's technically kinda bad news #but future crunch is one of the highest quality sources of good news I've found #in terms of breadth and research #and especially for non-US and non-Western #they pull a lot of their good news from WHO reports and the like #it was maybe the biggest site/influence in terms of catalyzing me to go “wait maybe we CAN do this” #“maybe we CAN survive” #so it's a huge shame and I feel obligated to comment on a fellow (if way bigger and very different) Good News Outlet #part of me is tempted to subscribe for my own sake and to be able to post the articles they post about to this blog #if you're not familiar with future crunch it's a giant roundup with 1-5 sentences per topic #so I could easily link to the things they link #but a) again I resent this on my very strong freedom of information / anarchist adjacent principles #and b) not til I get a new day job lmao #me

Hamilton says he hasn’t had an alcoholic drink in four months (as of Mexican GP), and counting: “I don't know if I’m going to drink again,” he said of his new approach. “Since I’ve stopped drinking, I’ve just been feeling so much better, so much more clarity. I sleep better, I wake up in the morning and I can still get up at 5 a.m.,” he says.

#damn why did i do that is such a familiar feeling rip love that for myself personally #wait now that i think about it @ silverstone also he talked about being sober since new years #anyway do whatever you gots to do for that hamilTEN bby #almave by lewis hamilton #lewis hamilton

jokes that are mean to my readers because they only make sense if you're familiar with the extremely rare out-of-print blacklight edition of journal 3, and even then you've gotta stop and think about it to connect the dots.

Ford said, "I never learned if the aliens I spoke to were all talking about the same thing, a group of things—or if what I thought they were talking about was a simple translation error for some other term."

Dipper scrunched his nose. "'Translation error,' what? Across multiple civilizations?"

"The dimensional translator I received was somewhat buggy," Ford said. "From time to time it would offer wildly incorrect translations for individual words. For instance, it consistently replaced the word 'soccer ball' with soccer ball, of all things. You can only imagine what kind of trouble that got me into."

Dipper blinked in bafflement, opened his mouth, decided maybe this was a can of worms best opened later, and shut his mouth. 

#(generally i feel like it's cheating if i write something that ONLY makes sense if you're familiar with something outside Basic Canon) #(so like. I'll probably bring the joke back up later to explain it. for the people who don't have the blacklight edition) #(but before that explanation is reached i hope some readers who ARE familiar will read this and go '... WAIT.') #about my writing #bill goldilocks cipher

Asuka is a tragic figure, a figure of mystery, a wild card, all because the only thing she wants in life is peace and quiet for herself and to feel in control- yet her secret heritage that may be hidden from her for her own protection and the reality that life is unpredictable and will go on with or without you keep ruining that delusion, that vision of how the world is meant to work to her, and she suffers regardless of what she wants, what she does, and how little she understands anything

She was born into a family preaching peace and balance and order while being a creature of violence, and puts a dozen mental locks and excuses over this truth to justify giving into her impulse for fighting by pretending she's justice when she does it

She keeps trying to build a place of safety but she's using sand and life is a wave that destroys, yet she stubbornly persists rather than give up, not drowned to the point of self centered suicidal loathing like Jin- there's contrast, where Jin is cloaked in death Asuka stubbornly clings to life and humanity as a normal person in a terrifying world

She's not a fucking narrative clone for Jun's own purpose, Asuka's purpose must be determined by Asuka herself

#tekken #Jin is born of two worlds Jun walks between two worlds Asuka is at the crossroads of two worlds #Jin is broken by it Jun traded part of her humanity to reconcile it and now Asuka has to accept it yet persist- she is always persisting #that's her strength that no matter what she's always still herself #'For being so very Y o u' as Lili told her bc she sees it #she's an interesting character BECAUSE she's not Jun and she's not Jin and she's not aligned with them entirely #stop waiting for her to be something she's not #also i think it's GOOD she doesn't know everything or everyone in her family bc that builds mystery and suspense #it gives everything a tension in the background for when the normalcy charade will be broken by the bigger family drama catching up w her #what's happening to the Mishimas should be something no one is dragged into yet the one family member who's the least connected #is going to run out of time at some point and get hit by that trauma anyway and she doesn't even Know it's coming for her eventually #isn't it fucked up. how everything catches up with you in the end #and you won't even understand it until it's too late ie. her involvement in T8 global war now #also a character that wants peace and order but actively pursues violence ensuring she will never truly have those things bc of her nature #AND she's already been traumatized by T5 Feng and T6 Jin that just makes her retreat to seeking comfort in detachment- in the familiar #which only prolongs her avoiding the world outside what she can control- and then Lili won't let her live in ignorance not to punish her #but bc she wants to help her bc the Mishimas have already put their claws in Lili- they won't catch Asuka off guard #what is it with people sanitizing the messiness and humanity characters represent in favor of 'If they just acted logically the way I want #then they'd solve the entire story 1 2 3 and we'll have everything wrapped up easy' THAT'S NOT A STORY THAT'S A MATH EQUATION #FEEL SOMETHING INSTEAD OF ALWAYS NEEDING TO SOUND SMART AND HAVE PERFECT ANSWERS YOU STUPID FUCKS #IN TRYING TO MAKE EVERYTHING HAVE A PERFECT SOLUTION YOU'VE LOST SIGHT OF WHAT'S IN THE TEXT #AND ALSO ASUKA BEING VIOLENT BUT STILL CARING ABOUT PEOPLE AND DOING GOOD DESPITE IT #and AsuLili is about two similar people who've been traumatized finding safety in each other once they put down the trauma responses #this is all in line with T8's tagline of Face Your Fate btw this is literally what was always coming finding you & you face it

the experience of being an english and creative writing major writing multiple short stories in a semester for workshop classes is crazy because one moment i will be reading the critique letters i received for my upcoming revision and the next i’ll be realizing that this “original” story i “just” came up with is actually a reskinned danny phantom au prompt i thought up when i was ~14

#it’s so embarrassing #because i was so proud of myself for finally coming up with something new #after just writing short stories for my already-existed prompts for the last 3 years #and then i went ‘wait. why does this feel familiar all of a sudden’ #opened my notes app #and saw the danny phantom reaper au i jotted down in 2016 #yeah. that’s awkward for sure. #danny phantom #tayscreams

Hi so I read What Monstrous Gods on the plane

And Ms. Hodge

It would be faster

If you just stab me next time

Like seriously you woke up and chose violence

Also the Shakespeare/Hopkins/other references cracked me up. It’s like Ah yes. Dominican.

#every time I read one of her books I’m like #lol this feels familiar #the Dominican education curriculum is just very specific ok #and idk if she even followed anything like that I know she was homeschooled and then went to UD #which ALSO cracks me up because this is also very on brand for that group #I say lovingly to my one mutual I know went there #anyway the first book I read from her I was like Wait #rosamund hodge #what monstrous gods

One less frequently discussed form of procrastination is when you get an essay back that actually got a decent mark, and instead of working on the stuff you have to do for your next looming deadline, you spend an hour re-reading your own essay, obsessed and delighted by your own slightly nonsensical arguments, like a cockatoo admiring and preening itself in the mirror of its cage

#There was an exact point where I tilted my head a certain way to admire a footnote and was like 'wait a minute this behaviour feels familiar #And then realised that it was familiar because I have seen budgies and cockatoos do the same thing and that's not a good look #Got to stop it really wasn't much more than a competent essay and the only reason I'm so delighted by it is that it's taking my mind off #the revision I actually have to do for an exam on Monday and the dissertation proposal due on Tuesday that I've not written a single word f #You also then spend the next hour worrying at the minor points you got wrong like you're a dog that needs to wear a cone #Which is not helpful either but some of the implications of these 'minor' mistakes will keep me up at night I know it

having a normal one about brad and birdie again

#no spoilers for definitive edition here because i haven't played definitive joyful yet and haven't gotten any new birdie content in painful #lisa rpg #i know that half the things i say about birdie are looking Too Far Into It #but also they give us another bearded b-named addiction riddled wreck ruining his life because he's haunted by the deaths of young family #members he feels he should have protected (one of whom even committed suicide) and you expect me NOT to go 'wait that sounds familiar' #honestly the 'like/love' parallel really gets to me because it's so throwaway and i don't know why it's THERE #terry and buzzo say that (and ofc lisa originates it) but that makes SENSE #they're both categorized as someone deeply devoted to someone in the armstrong family. ofc that parallel is made #but why BIRDIE #brad's shirt pattern when he's young is the same pattern as birdie's poncho too #god it's not even just brad #dustin's least favorite thing being 'letting people down' and birdie's being 'being a failure' ESP. with the context of his children like #and (prefacing this by saying i do NOT think birdie was at all the type of father marty was) there's even similarities to marty #like you're telling me the companion who visually looks most like marty is *checks notes* the alcoholic single dad whose kid killed themsel #like there are so many weird things that are canon traits of the armstrong family that you can also see in birdie it's WILD #i'm not even saying i think any of this is THAT intentional or deliberate. like i think having fathers that failed their children on brad's #team is an obvious and deliberate choice but i don't think all this minutia w/birdie was intentional. i acknowledge i'm a lil insane #(birdie has rosy cheeks like marty because they're both drunk. fly also has the same shirt pattern so it's recusing assets. i get it) #there's just a weird amount to pick at if you want to
