Happy Pride month to these two

Does being an accountant or an electrician pay more

#I'm leaning more towards electrician because I think it would be neat to learn a wizard trade skill #it would also enable my awful bullshit of learning new skill to let me make more cursed things #the world would be a worse place if I acquired an engineering degree #I think welder is probably something that would enable me even more strongly but I would be at least held back a little #because i would have to buy stock material and tools to make the bullshit thats stored inside my brain

So, my company's sponsored fall outing this year is to the local Renaissance Festival. As a former Rennie, this is a source of great joy to me.

But here's the thing... former Rennie. It's been over a decade since I've had reason to wear any of my garb, and my body has changed in both shape and size since then. And while body changes are natural and not a problem in general for me, the practical result is this - much of my old garb doesn't fit me anymore.

I can probably re-do the waistbands on my skirts (either put in new elastic or swap in a drawstring), but that's not really possible with any of my bodices.

So, now I have to decide - should I make myself a new bodice?

#musings #thinking out loud #the issue is not skill - i've made bodices before #nor is it materials - i either have or can acquire whatever i need #it's a question of am i overcommitting myself #by taking on a finicky project for the next month and a half of weekends

over the course of my gw2 career, some very important things have become increasingly clear to me:

1) bloodstone dust is simultaneously priceless and worthless and you both want hoards upon hoards of it at any given time because you can never have enough but also you should get rid of it whenever you pick it up immediately because it clogs bag space and is absolutely useless

2) literally every single road leads back to running the silverwastes meta. like literally Every Single One. ever. forever.

#started heart of thorns > decided to go on a quick detour to craft mawdrey bc i needed xp to unlock gliding anyway #> ended up dedicating the entire afternoon and night to running around doing an epic worldwide scavenger hunt > #> ended up teaching myself how to craft to make bloodstone bricks which require level 400 artificer #so i spent like 70 gold on materials and speedran the entire crafting profession in one night #and now all i need is bloodstone dust. lots of it. lots and lots and lots of it. #this is no longer a detour. this is a goal in of itself. i cant bring myself to continue the story til i have that plant. #yin-thoughts #guild wars 2 #anyway there's a fun peek into the gaming life of yin for yall. im sure it's incomprehensible and horrifying both with and without context #this is literally nothing in terms of the bad mmo grinding habits ive somehow spontaneously acquired over the past week #did you know WoW gives you a big puppy dog mount if you 100% complete all of dragonflight? i know. #so that's also what ive been spending the precious hours i have left on this earth doing. ur welcome for this arcane knowledge as well #i need to pass out good night

sometimes i think about how my shitty ex roommate wore harvard sweaters despite not going to harvard and in fact ! never having gone to harvard. i already have no respect for harvard and you want their clout so desperately youll take it secondhand? yikes

#type of person for whom everything was about appearances with no actual connection to any of it as a person #hope their life still rings hollow and miserable despite whatever material success they may acquire <3

it's soooo fucked to think about how everything that's ever happened in your life is connected, no matter how mundane. what do you Mean my 5th grade teacher's seating arrangement is the reason i lived past the age of 13

#it goes. have to sit next to the girl who's really into animal jam > get REALLY into animal jam bc of her > discover wattpad through animal #jam youtuber fanfic > spend all my time on it > discover those marysue appraisals that used to be so popular > read all of them > run out #of generalized ones and end up stumbling across one specifically for kuroshitsuji ocs which is titled in a way where i don't think it's #media-specific until i'm already reading it > find it really funny > go to the library the next day > figure 'what the hell. i'll check the #dvds of this show out.' > the dvds are checked out > 'well in japan the adaptations better match the source material' (<<< no idea where i #got that from but it's HILARIOUS that i tried to apply it to kuroshitsuji of all franchises) > take out the entirety of the manga > go #insane over it to the point where i had brought like. 5 volumes to school and started fr Crying over the fact that i finished reading them #and still had hours to go before i could go home and start a new one > make a tumblr account bc i'd been possessed w a love of 2 characters #from the weston arc and no one on wattpad was making content that wasn't centered around the anime or musicals > my phone breaks in 7th #grade and it gets replaced w a new one which works better and thus i can't get around parental controls which means no more wattpad > #tumblr works wayyyy better on my recently acquired school ipad than on my phone so i start using it more > summer between 7th & 8th grade i #consider throwing myself out of a third story window > 'wait. who will tell my tumblr mutuals that i'm not ghosting them. i just died. #no one knows my password and i don't want to be rude' > i close the window > i'm still alive to this day #romeo.txt

Honestly the implications for the Byers family dynamics if Jonathan gets taken to the UD instead of Will are staggering.

#I’m assuming an AU where he’s saved from the UD #obviously the dynamics would change in a very very sad way if he died #but will getting taken to the UD and being sick/possessed afterwards #kind of prolongs and exaggerates a pre-existing dynamic in the family #where will is the primary object of concern and Jonathan is the provisional second parent #but if Jonathan’s the one to basically acquire a long-term if not permanent disability in a really traumatic way #(which is in broad strokes what happens to will) #just as will is becoming older and more independent #a lot more has to change #and I think they would all feel so weird about it! #also if Jonathan’s too sick to work #or people don’t want to hire him because of the weirdness around his disappearance #that has more material consequences #idk it makes me think of Joan of Arcadia #where the star athlete older brother is paralyzed in a car accident #and the younger kids #(a slightly dirtbag-ish average teen girl and a nerdy teen boy) #are like yeah remember when our mild teen brattiness and social ineptitude were this family’s biggest problems? #guess no one is too concerned about that now! #that said will is still not allowed to ride his bike at night

Your Kendall post speaks volumes. I never knew how to articulate it properly but I always think (idk if it’s canon or not) His ex wife is Jewish, his best friend Iranian and his daughter, South Asian. But he’s aligning himself with parties like ATN etc. I don’t know, it’s a funny thing to me because wether or not the writers did this on purpose or not but the people he’s closest to (aside from his sibs) are as you said, from marginalised communities. Does he think the amount of wealth a person earns suddenly makes them immune to a system that wasn’t originally built for anyone aside for people like him. I wonder what his stance would’ve been on Mckenen if he were in the room when they were all deciding who should be president. It’s more personal for him, his daughter is quite literally apart of the community that Mckenen demonises. Not even just for Kendall but for Stewy & Marcia too. Like they can’t be seen opposing people like him because where does that put them? Just being poc in a cooperate world is threatening enough. This is me putting too much thought into it while also knowing the writers maybe didn’t when it comes to the Sophie/Marcia/Stewy and the role they have to put on.

hmm i don’t know how qualified i am to speak on this but in terms of ‘aligning himself with atn’ i truly think it’s never been an conscious choice for kendall to do that. like it came with the job. logan groomed kendall to one day be in charge of waystar and subsequently atn for however many years and i think a consequence of that is that kendall doesn’t really have any concrete ideologies/beliefs, much like roman. but similar to shiv (although her politics are way more clear) he has this abstract idea of ‘doing good things’ with waystar and wanting to be a ‘good person’ but this in itself kind of centres around logan . like his desire to ‘be good’ is just a desire to be good in comparison to his father (i’m a good person i’m better than you etc) but ultimately kendall (in s1 mostly) wanted to be the Good Guy but without much foresight on what that actually looks like and i think that’s where his relationships with stewy, rava and sophie come in i suppose. but i don’t think kendall intentionally created a relationship with stewy and rava or adopted sophie out of tokenism or anything. i simply think he connected to stewy and rava in some way mostly because they oppose logan and what he Represents very outwardly and consciously or unconsciously that’s what kendall was looking for. it stems from that patricidal drive + resentment kendall’s always had for logan but ultimately i think kendall is too self absorbed to think more deeply about what stewy or his daughter might face esp in terms of the toxicity of atn or what part kendall himself plays in it all. but i think i agree with you in the sense it seems kendall does think material wealth kind of shields you from having to deal with institutionalised racism + i played back that scene and kendall says wrt to atn and waystar he’s ‘trying to keep the world safe’ for his kids so i do think that he thinks that sophie was ultimately safe from all that and he probably assumes people like stewy and marcia are too. so with that in mind i don’t think he really counts his daughter as part of the many marginalised groups that mencken demonises even though sophie as we see isn’t exempt from facing racism. like at all. as for what kendall’s stance would be on mencken if he was in that room in ‘what it takes’ i could not say for sure but i think that itself goes back to kendall not having any concrete ideology or politics except on an entirely abstract level. like mencken’s a ‘nazi’ but ‘on a business level, they need to have a relationship’ so i think honestly his stance would be completely determined by his state of mind wrt to himself and his father. but no yeah i agree it’s probably extremely difficult for stewy, marcia and stewy who have all at one point been othered or treated as nrpi by the roys while still being closely connected to it all.

#idk kendall’s politics are just so esp hard to pinpoint bc yeah he’s sensitive to logan’s antisemitism and other forms of prejudice but #then a whole lot of his outward politics are performative and he can only really empathise with the marginalised if he can relate to himself #*relate it to himself #in some way like w the cruise victims in s3 . like when he hates his dad in s3 shiv and roman are ‘nazi lovers’ but in s4 he thinks it’s #imperative they have a relationship on a ‘business level’ so i genuinely think he’s like roman and sees all that #as Not Real and politics as pointless in a way but also he does acc give a shit abt ppl but kind of surface level. nd regards to stewy and #marcia it’s complex bc they kind of chose to align themselves with atn and waystar and the roys like while obv they do exp racism #stewy is also friends with mencken according to arian and marcia Married logan so it’s not like kendall’s belief that material wealth #divorces you from true marginalisation is coming from nothing bc ultimately the amount go wealth marcia and stewy have acquired means #*of wealth #they’ve stepped on the backs of many also marginalised ppl themselves bc that’s like. literally what capitalism is. #but also i am 17 and do not have enough time to read the books i want to read so my knowledge is quite bare. i wish i could talk more on the #politics aspect of this in a more meaningful way but alas #but yeah. thank u for sending this ask this was soo interesting to talk abt #p #succ. #kendall

i cant wait for pride month but for the sole reason of acquiring free pronoun pins the school gsa gives out

#i got a she/her one last year but since then i realized that i do not vibe with it and the year's wait has been agonizing #because like i'm not in a situation where i can get them anywhere else #hmmm unless i make them but that's still materials i'd have to acquire that i'd have to explain to my parents

Why did I set my Goodreads challenge to 36 books this year what was I THINKING

#still 4 books behind even though I've been reading the thinnest books known to man these past couple of months #speaking of which I definitely recommend convenience store woman #which is mad and completely lovely #and one day in the life of ivan denisovich #which might be a bit of an acquired taste here but shukhov my beloved <3 #anyway still have like 400 minutes of material to translate until the new year's too so #and a fic I'm working on has just turned into two fics #and you know. life in between #a very relaxed foreshortening month all in all #books #goodreads
