#because it is!

TOMMY: Why do you play games with people when there's no benefit to you? TATIANA: In Russia, because we were bored. In England, because we don't know how to stop. At least there are silly games and orgasms. TOMMY: So lets fuck.

#[fondly recalls the review that called season 3 a grand guignol theatre] #because it is! #peaky blinders #tvedit #peakyblindersgifs #tv #one of the most viscerally discomforting scenes for me though ngl but i like to work overtime in the freudian nightmare of staggering #depravity mines #unironically caro posting that essay on in the glass cage was painfully timed #the erotic/violent gaze and compromised/passive spectatorism #there's aspects of it in pb too so much focus on eyes and watching and seeing (or not)

#lore olympus #lo persephone #lo hades #there's no turning back now #im kinda glad they mentioned how fast the situation is moving #because it is! #quite literally it feels that the story is moving way too fast #now i do love when the plot moves forward but not fast forward you know?

Yeoreum going through her monologue of how liking/loving people makes you vulnerable to sadness, and how allowing yourself to feel good things towards people can also turn back to you as disappointment and hurt, because when you love someone you hurt just as much, and at the end, after all that, just taking a deep breath and going "tf was that ew such a drama queen" and running to meet him in the middle of the night. THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT! It's about acknowledging that loving people does make you vulnerable but that it can NEVER make yourself hold back from feeling things, because you'll feel hurt eventually you like it or not and there's nothing you can do to stop it. so you better embrace it.

#[SCREAMS] #oH MY GOD I WANT TO WRITE A WHOLE ESSAY ABOUT THAT #WHYYYYY I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT ITTTTTT #summer strike #kdrama #that's what love is about!!!!! #and i absolutely LOVE how they did it!!!! #like how we follow her thought trail and at the end you accept it #you actually accept that that's a valid decision: to avoid love #even though you and i and yeoreum we all know it is inevitable #BECAUSE IT IS! #it IS inevitable!!!! so we might as well do something with it!!!! #that's love #about love #vulnerability

Was talking with Techgod today and made the discovery that one of my pokemon cards is actually rather valuable - an old version of Ninetales that I, ironically, purchased within the past two years for somewhere under five dollars usd. Because I’m cheap when it comes to my pokemon cards, not fancy; as long as they’re in decent condition and look nice, I’m good. Anyway, it’s a holographic card, only it turns out Ninetales is supposed to have some sparkles in the holo sections for this version? And mine doesn’t, it’s a misprint that’s called a black flame Ninetales, if Techgod’s assessed it right. So that’s neat!

(puts it in a hard sleeve as well as its normal sleeve, then sticks it back in the box with the rest of them, feeling satisfied in my new knowledge)

#my life #pokemon cards #my main reaction to this is honestly 'huh - that's neat!' #because it is! #like wow - they just discovered this misprint pretty recently and it turns out I have one! #what are the odds?

wrote another 1k in secret fic this morning. this fic is kinda a mindfuck, in that i’m sorta mindfucking myself as i write it, but also there is a fine line to walk between mindfuck and confusing and i just have no idea how well i am walking that tightrope.

#i keep thinking #this is the fic charlie kaufman would write if charlie kaufman wrote gay pirate fan fiction #and that's keeping me going through the doubt #because it is! #this is my kaufman fic #fic updates

maybe love is as simple as being gently tapped on your shoulder because someone saw something interesting or silly outside the moving vehicle and wanted you to catch a glimpse of it too.

#love #maybe love is just as simple #it's gestures like these that gets me fr #little things #a friend of mine tapped on my shoulder to show me a moving train few meters away from our college bus with the softest smile and eyes #you can't tell me that isn't love #because it is! #:) #writeblr #on friendship #on love

michael will tell kids it’s completely ethical to steal from fazbear entertainment

I am so fucking social

I love making friends, I love talking to people, I love listening in rapt attention as they ramble along about a topic that deeply interests them

I get exited when people talk to me

#i actually had written more but it started to turn into a rant/vent and uh yeah #blou talks #blou rambles #i'll leave this as this positive thing #because it is!

Past TK is breaking my heart. Present TK too. But in a different way. I think they need to hug each other.

Thoughts on eberwolf?

unfortunately, i don't really have any thoughts one way or the other about them as a character. maybe that'll change by the time i finish the second season (no spoilers!!)! but! honestly, the beast keeping coven seems like one of the coolest ones. i'm a sucker for that kind of magic- it makes me wish that one of the core characters leaned that way! i hope it gets expanded so we actually do get to see more of that kind of magic.

#the owl house #owl house #thanks for the ask!! #and keep in mind- i'm very behind! for people who have finished it and know what happens this may seem like a very silly + ignorant answer #because it is! #besides plant magic though? i love beast keeping. i love nature based magic

why yes I AM making boop gifs from screen recording

"This fic was ai generated—" Cool, so lemme block you real quick

#the ethics are whack but more importantly you didn't even want to write it?? who is it even for?? not you? not me? #you didn't even have enough interest in the premise to take a crack at it?? then who cares? #please don't populate in my search results I'm looking for things that people wrote because they liked something #ao3

[sunbentshadows]

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".

My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

#information death of the internet etc #legit this has been SO SO helpful #shout out to mastodon infosec server for this one #before 2022 we did not really have the AI-content-farms because. the tech did not exist to the public. #and you can knock back the date if need be #obviously this does not FIX the problem but #me.txt

the problem with reading and writing leading to a strong vocabulary is that you tend to know the vibe of words instead of their meanings.

if I used this word in a sentence, would it make sense? absolutely. if you asked me what it meant, could I tell you? absolutely not.

hey, don't cry. one cup heavy whipping cream, two tablespoons granulated sugar, three tablespoons cocoa powder and whisk until stiff peaks form for three ingredient chocolate mousse, okay?

#it's literally easier to make than whipped cream #because the extra bulk of the dry ingredients makes it form stiff peaks faster
