#learning hangul never ends#and i am like 🔪#so you're thinking of yourself as superior to chinese?? at least chinese MAKES SENSE#and doesn't have to make up new rules at every single corner#it's so weird that hangul was invented bcs this guy was like nah chinese characters are too hard i'm gonna make an easy system#and then it's like... oh but this is an exception#this letter is pronounced that way! but if it comes at this position it's pronounced another way#and sometimes it's just silent#and sometimes there are 4 letters but two of them are silent and 1 of them isn't pronounced regularly#i am DONE#sure learning chinese characters is a LOT#but at some point you can see patterns and it all fits together#korean letters are way easier but THE PATTERNS ARE A MESS#(but also i just looked at another way to count in korean)#(like.... i know un deux sept)#(but there's a second way to count and it sounds so similar to chinese and 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳)#(i know there won't be many crossovers so i'm happy about every single one)#((talking about crossovers: i started learning czech recently because i have no self control))#((((also because i told myself i'd only start learning a new language after being good in chinese and that day will never come))))#((((so i dropped that plan and now i've got nothing holding me back from starting new languages))))#((and a few days ago i listened to a russian interview and i was like wait i know these words))#((it was very nice but also a reminder that i should have stuck to languages that are part of an actual family))#((i want to know more 'if you know one you know them all' languages))#anyway that's my language rant for today and if it wasn't for my number crossover i'd be a bit more 'why did i decide to learn korean UGH'#(the answer is immersion btw. i thought if i keep watching korean stuff i might as well learn the language bcs at least i've got immersion)

Even without his Vision, Kaeya is not wholly helpless.
If there was one thing he could appreciate about his father, it’s that the man raised him with full knowledge of self-defense as a child. He needed to be able to handle himself should they ever be separated, after all. Especially when it came to any Abyssal creatures they might face, or otherwise any hostile people they may encounter.
He knew all the best places to drive in a knife, what tendons to cut, how to best blind an opponent, and creatively so at that. He knew how to set traps and buy himself a precious few seconds more, how to use those said seconds in a fraction of that time. He knew how to use an opponent’s physical strength against them, how to counter someone with a Vision/elemental energy usage as best he could. To not let himself get caught so off guard no matter what, bc the moment that control was wrenched away from him, his disadvantages would be nigh insurmountable.
The man taught him to harness Abyssal energy, using a small fraction of it—no more than that, his father made him promise; never more than the necessary—to make swift little jumps through space, even to facilitate escape or victory, whichever he’d choose. In time, he would have taught him to use the elements through it too, as many Abyssal beings had done, as a particular last resort, but having been left to the Ragnvindrs’ care, he never got the chance.
Though it didn’t stop Kaeya from trying. Not wanting to be left behind after Diluc had gotten his Vision and wanting to be useful to him as his right hand, he tried his best at figuring it all out. Felt it tug at something deep inside him like a tether each time he tried, failing just as many, only managing the all too familiar wisps of Abyssal energy he was more familiar with. It was through encountering an Abyss Mage and coming in contact with the ice it conjured that he finally got a better grasp at what to do.
Only for him to realize each conjure of Abyssal energy-infused ice was nothing short of painful each time, the energy within him thrumming so much amid the curse he already bore as a Khaenri’ahn, so much so, it would frighten and dissuade him from using those abilities anyway. For a short time, at least, until he realized how well it helped in a pinch. Still, he became far more wary. Even with his desperation to try and catch up to Diluc, his father’s warning against abusing the Abyssal energy coursing within him burning brighter in mind with every use. Especially when a Pyro Abyss mage lingering about a domain tried to call his attention after he’d been pushed to use that power.
Nothing good would come out of using such an ability, he’d decided then—keeping to the bare minimum, like his father wanted would be best. He wouldn’t want to be so marked by the Abyss otherwise. Wouldn’t want to increase the risk of his attempts and powers being found out, certainly not by the family that had taken him in.
Is it any wonder he was so horrified to find it was a Cryo Vision that had come to him that fateful night?
#hc; kaeya#//Eh; shit pertaining to my Kae#long post for ts#//After Luc left; he did start using those powers again#//At first; it was more rather self-destructively#//Both in deliberately bc 1) he didn’t wanna even Touch his Vision & still fought as a knight as though he did—luckily having same element#//Even killed Eroch himself after revealing his heritage and power to the man—which he was deffo NOT proud of#//Didn’t realize how bad the abyssal energy would influence his emotional state to a crueler anger and vindictiveness#//As far as anyone knows; an Abyss Mage killed him—Kae bears that secret with Varka alone; tho the man doesn’t know abt the Abyss energy#//As far as Varka knows; Kae accidentally avenged Crepus via a Vision misfire in the midst of confronting the man#//And 2) unconsciously; when he’d end up freezing things when upset even when he’d thrown his Vision across the room#//It scared him a lot; since he wondered if that meant Abyssal beings could locate him easier. And thus risk everyone at the Winery#//But then the real kicker came when he realized the Reverse could be true#//And thus decided he would use his whole connection with Abyssal energy to track them all down & kill em#//Worked beautifully ever since; finding use in that to HELP Mond; not jeopardize his home#//The practicality of it was quite handy#//Up until he started sensing that energy off the Traveler—BUT he let that slide when he realized they didn’t change for the worse#//Plus he trusted them—surely they couldn’t be up to anything BAD. His judge of character isn’t THAT bad!#//Does become a bit wary after meeting Dain with them tho—bc now he worries if they could sense anything off abt HIM#//Idk; might go back and edit but ye. This is canon to my Kae#//One can tell the diff btw his vision made ice and Abyssal energy tainted based on body reactions#//A more pronounced lingering numbness and a /gnawing/ feeling in the wound is typically Abyssal-infused ice#//Appearance wise; if the ice is murkier in color; almost like something darker is inside it…yeah. It’s easier to note with a keener eye#//Or elemental sight—the difference is quite stark through that#//which if brought up; he will either gaslight tf outta them that THEY’RE sick or smth; or attribute it to a previous Abyss mage encounter

#not to be weird on main but jaysteph hallmarkesque fic where it's like. steph has been away at college#and comes back to gotham on holiday break absolutely jonesing to get back into ''the family business'' aka vigilantism#she and jason were childhood acquaintances (schoolbus theory!!!) and worked together a bit before she went to school#steph has an argument with tim about something stupid (no they're not dating at this point they're just besties and both a bit petty)#so they're at odds and the whole family is a bit tense bc there's a Big Case going on and B is away on JL business#(B has promised he'll be back in time for Christmas. he is SCRAMBLING to keep this promise.)#anyway: cue steph deciding to make things a little easier on dick by handling arrangements for The Christmas Eve Gala TM#and recruiting jason (who is honestly just along for the ride/lowkey keeps mom-friending literally everyone in the absense of bruce)#they end up doing Shenanigans while trying to pull this event off and not cause any more trouble for alfred#while also working that Big Case during the nighttime and dealing with regular Family Tensions.#steph is also conflicted about transfering back to gotham u or staying with her current program that isn't really doing it for her#(jason is also considering enrolling in college now that he's legally alive again and is struggling a little with Being Alive)#at some point they end up reminiscing about their shenanigans as kids who rode the same schoolbus#and there's this really emotional moment like ''sometimes i wonder why I'm even allowed to be alive. why did we get to come back''#and all that. steph has a mild existential crisis brought on by emotions running high and sleep deprivation#thats basically her asking how she's able to go to college. she should have brain damage after being technically dead for minutes like that#and jason is like ''i DID have brain damage'' and they just look at each other and it's like this *zing* moment#like hotel transylvania skkdfnskfnsk#anyway yeah college girl steph home for the holidays falling for the guy she used to sit with on the bus??? i am Thinking#also samsung needs to give me a starling emoji smh

Do u think aegon is alicent fav child?
hmmm. i think probably from the show aemond is her favourite? and from the books helaena is her favourite? before she dies, she singles out helaena by name and calls her "her sweet girl"
anyway i think you could write entire essays on alicent's relationship with each of her children, she genuinely loves all of them. perhaps the question is better rephrased as "who is the child she has the least amount of conflict with / has the easiest relationship with"
aegon receives the most amount of scolding, aemond a little for putting himself in a dangerous situation (but is also promptly comforted) & helaena receives no scolding but alicent struggles to connect to her (though she tries)
i think that on screen aemond has been the child she put herself out for the most, so to speak. she immediately goes to viserys to complain about the bullying, lectures aegon about it, complains to criston about viserys showing favoritism towards the strong boys because rhaenyra can do no wrong in his eyes. criston listens to her rant and then decides to take matters into his own hands by goading harwin into a reaction. all of this is only tangentially related, but the trigger was aemond being bullied, which prompted alicent to have that conversation with viserys in the first place.
then there's the eye-gouging, ofc.
all of this can also be plot-related, because they are incidents that literally push the plot forward, whereas something like alicent going out of her way to buy specific creepy-crawlies for helaena wouldn't. therefore, it wasn't elaborated on screen.

I broadly think the majority of content you find in "X critical" tags tends to be a bit. Uh. Garbage in terms of legit media criticism, but I cannot overstate their importance in terms of being easily filterable for people who actually like X, and idk if it's the recent migrations from other social media platforms or (more likely) if I'm just having an off week and reading into things too much but like. Can we keep it going/bring it back??? If I have to see one more post about how ppl hate a certain thing in that certain things tag (where fans congregate to find content of the thing), with no filterable critical tag. I might actually kill ppl
#ramblings of a lunatic#the owl house#yeah. yeah#i should stop going into the maintag BUT SOMETIMES IT'S GOOD IN THERE MAN!!#and i don't follow as many toh ppl#so sometimes i gotta go into the tag to find things i really like!#i wish i just didn't have to see more than one post dunking on a piece of media i like there like. that's not what it's for#even if you're tagging it for your own blog organization that's not stopping you from putting a critical tag so ppl can filter it#it'd just make everyones lives easier man#especially the ppl posting the critical content!#bc they tend to get messages and replies from fans who disagree with them (bc again.. they're in the wrong space)#and then decide that this means the fans are toxic (maybe but you've got a bad sample size and no control group)#idk man i just. I'm doing everything right on my part! blocking ppl and filtering tags#but some ppl just don't want to follow the social contract of online spaces and I'm normal about that#tbh I'm also just really tired today. I've been hand painting a chessboard and chess set (w/ help! it's been fun-#-but also i was there from noon to 5pm. it was actually probably closer to 6 hours in total cause of work done afterwards)#(point being I'm tired. I'm sleepy. I'm kinda cranky and i wanna be silly in peace for five minutes)#(i know we all joke about the insularity of our dashes and mutuals but. it does make me a bit sad-#-fan spaces don't have to be this insular to be peaceful. it could be better)

I revisited Werther recently and it's insane how well it holds up & how it remains one of the very rare examples of a love triangle actually being executed WELL. The fact that Lotte is decidedly not miserable with Albert paired with the deep friendship between Werther and Albert makes the whole thing sooo much more tragic because Werther can never say "Lotte should be with me because Albert makes her unhappy!" with full conviction because he loves Albert and he knows that Lotte does, too. The digital adaption Werther.Live that was popular a while ago turns the Albert/Lotte relationship into a "he doesn't really get me but I stay with him because it's comfortable" situation and completely takes out the friendship between the two men and the fact that the adaption sucks (imo) really shows how vital the nuance in the relationship(s) is to the impact of the story. It's really all about the "Einer von uns dreien muss fort". Maybe Polyamory would have fixed things (but Werther is a lil too possessive I fear). Anyway, I love you blogging about Werther because it's such a great classic <3 keep it up!!!
Hi!! So great to get Werther messages in the year of our lord 2022! I like my own echo chamber but I like it even more when somebody joins me in it for 5 minutes :D
It's been a long time since I completely read Werther because I only read it when I was about 15 and then again in my first year of uni. I also saw a stage adaptation as a teen that had five (5) separate Werthers who eventually stripped on stage and transformed a whole theatre of hormonal teens into pandemonium. It was one of The Best Theatre Nights of my life sdskdskldjs. So slowly working my way through it for Werther Rewritten is a good experience because I'm finally Werther's age now and understand him now on a more personal level. Like, him going on about work etc., mood. I also like how the love triangle can be read & executed from multiple angles because Werther chooses the unusual angle of epistolary writing by only including his own letters and not Wilhelm's, so he can be in fact an unreliable narrator, and remakes can take him completely at face value and write a Lotte that is engaged for purely practical reasons, or a Lotte that is wholly grounded and in love with Albert and notices that Werther's love for her is more about himself than it is for her. The truth can fall anywhere in the middle of these two readings.
I don't consider any of those readings as inferior, because Lotte's charm for me consists in her character and not necessarily in which man truly has her heart. Maybe both of them do, maybe none of them do. Werther is about a lot of things and gender roles don't fall too short either. Again, it's been a long time since I completely read it, but her character feels very warm and human and alive to me, and I can't wait until it's her time to shine, and Albert's too, whose character completely faded into the background for me. I will think about a polyamorous spin if the text allows for it. Also I will stay away from that presumably shitty adaptation then, thanks for the headsup!
It's great of you to send me this ask because I completely forgot about the love triangle being so good until you reminded me of it :) "Einer von uns dreien muss fort" ..... ✈️✈️✈️✈️

i’m gonna be ambitious and try nanowrimo again this year!! i wanted to do it last year but i gave up pretty quick, i’ll try to take it seriously this time lmao
i’ll be working on “queen’s echo” (i’ve actually just been calling it “echo” recently) which used to be a lighthearted fantasy romance but has now become darker and horror-ish? idk if it’ll be that scary and i’m not really committed to the genre yet but there will be some horror elements i think. i want to just write it out and see what happens! basically the previous idea was like fun celebrity wedding planning shenanigans in a hotel that’s possessed (in a fun quirky way) but now the wedding happens in the beginning and the bride and groom die bc the spirit possessing the hotel actually possesses one of them and kills the other that way. so yea. the main cast of characters (who all work at the hotel) is pretty much the same the plot is just more unhinged
#there's more to it than that but i'm too lazy to try to describe it properly rn lmao#the characters will be a bit different too but technically the same! my mc just got some violent urges. as a treat#i started this wip in december of last year#so this is like the longest i've ever gotten myself to stick w a project#so when my previous plot idea just wasn't going anywhere (like i couldn't figure out what would actually happen) i decided to rethink#the whole thing without giving up on the wip itself#i also took out some worldbuilding stuff that was tripping me up and now it feels like it's easier to get somewhere w it#im worried that once i start drafting i'll lose steam again but i'll try to push through#my on the job training also happens to be during nanowrimo so i'll be working 6hrs a day + doing lesson plans and essays and stuff#(i'm studying early childhood education)#but i'm gonna try my very best to write a little bit every day#i've tried to help myself by outlining a bit for once but the outline's not done so we'll see#also im struggling bc a big part of the plot is figuring out stuff that happened in the past which is something i dont enjoy reading#that much? like obviously it depends but i do tend to avoid it. and it feels weird to write smth like that when i dont prefer to read it lol#but thats how im doing it for now! the story will obviously keep changing so i shouldnt get stuck on details rn#also will i ever rewrite the mess of a middle grade fantasy draft i wrote in nanowrimo 2020? we shall see#vee.txt
