yeah i caved. welcome spideysona

their universe is 1990s san francisco. by day they work as a struggling writer for the bugle, sort of following in the footsteps of (movie-adjacent) eddie brock; by night they’re spider-scrawl, fighting systemic injustice, writers’ block, and the occasional mad scientist invention. his world is less rife with supernatural evils than most, but he’s also fucking with the government and corporations and all, so it balances out

their unique thing is that they have, like, shitty meta clairvoyance in the form of inherently understanding tropes, clichés, story structure, etc. like if cinemasins/wins were a superhero. they were approached to join the society because miguel thought they’d be chill or even helpful with canon events—unfortunately scribble here is not whatsoever into following rigid plot structure for the sake of unnecessary thematic suffering, saw the plot twist a miles away, and peaced. but not before snagging a day pass so they could watch atsv in person

they never take off their mask, and no one knows their name—he says it’s because he doesn’t want to lose his identity in a sea of spider-people, leading most to theorize that san-fran-spidey is some flavor of peter parker, but who’s to say for sure? the doylist reason, which he is in fact aware of, is that i don’t know either lol

Cockney Rhyming Slang Phrases Part 1

Part 2

In a previous post I went into Cockney rhyming slang history and gave some tips on how to use it.

In this post I’ll give you some commonly used Cockney rhyming slang phrases, phrases that I find funny, as well as some phrases that I think would be useful for Spider-Verse fic writers specifically.

So let’s get started!

A-B

Adam and Eve - Believe

E.g. “I don’t Adam and Eve it!”

Apples and Pears - Stairs

E.g. “He fell down the apples.”

Aunt Joanna - Piano

E.g. “Play me a song on the old Joanna!” Or “Get on the Joanna and we’ll have a sing song!”

Barnet Fair - Hair

E.g. “How do I fit my barnet under my mask? Wouldn’t you like to know.”

This is a very common Cockney phrase; you’ll hear a lot of true Cockneys talking about getting their barnet done.

Barney Rubble - Trouble

E.g. “Looks like someone’s lookin’ for a Barney!”

Bread and Honey - Money

E.g. “I ain’t got enough bread for that.”

Bird Lime - Time (in prison)

E.g. “He’s doin’ bird.”

Bird lime is a sticky substance you spread on trees to catch birds (now illegal, thankfully). You can understand why people relate it to feeling trapped.

Boat Race - Face

E.g. “He’s got a handsome boat!” Or “Shut your boat!” Or “I’m not just gonna show you my boat race, mate. Secret identity and all that.”

Bottle and Glass

I’m going to let you figure this one out.

E.g. “Look at the bottle on that guy!” Or “I slipped on the steps and went bottle over tit!”

Brass Tacks - Facts

E.g. “Let’s get down to brass tacks!”*

*Some people think that this phrase originates from the Cockney rhyming slang, however others say that it is referring to brass tacks used in upholstery or tacks that were hammered into sales counters to indicate measuring points. I don’t have the answer.

Brown Bread - Dead

E.g. “He’s brown bread!”

This is an example of a Cockney rhyming slang phrase that you don’t abbreviate. You always say “brown bread” and never just “brown”.

Bubble Bath - Laugh

E.g. “Are you having a bubble?”

This is meant more in an irritated sense rather than joyful laughter, like saying “You must be joking!” Or “Are you having a laugh?”

Butchers Hook - Look

E.g. “Let’s have a butchers at that.” Or “Take a quick butchers at this!”

It’s good to keep in mind that there can be multiple Cockney rhyming slang phrases for the same word, as well as multiple Cockney rhyming slang phrases that start with the same word. For example, ‘Birds Nest” and “Bristol and West” both mean chest, and “Birds Nest” and “Bird Lime” both can be abbreviated to “Bird”. For the latter, context is important for knowing what someone is talking about.

As always, I’m not an expert; a true Cockney would know far more than I do. I just want to share the knowledge that I have. I hope that someone will find this helpful, informative, or entertaining at the very least.

I’ve got more Cockney rhyming slang phrases coming, but if there’s any other areas of British slang you’d like me to go into, let me know and I’ll see what I can do!

Happy writing and happy speaking!

OMFD Spiral Parallels 2: Stede's Grand Entrance

Intro: What I love most about how season 2 builds on season 1 of OFMD is the spiral narrative structure. Ground is repeatedly and explicitly re-trod from season 1 to season 2, but in season 2 everything goes deeper than season 1. Meanings are shuffled, emotions are stronger and truer, and transformation is showcased above everything. The first season plucks certain notes, then the second season plucks the same ones--but louder, and then it weaves them together to create a symphony.

---

In Season 1 episode 3, Stede enters Jackie's bar in this overwhelmingly cringe scene. He's storming into a situation he doesn't understand, carrying with him fantasies of what piracy means and a frankly mad and somewhat gross attempt to maintain his class status. He's accompanied by a terrified subordinate who had to be strongarmed here and an actual prisoner.

He's totally going to get killed.

In Season 2 episode 8, Stede shows up in the bar again, and is totally going to get killed, again. He even says an entirely different and also deeply cringeworthy fantasy-pirate line.

But this time, everything that matters is different, and everything shows how Stede's grown.

Let's start with the fact of the entrance. Stede literally scripts the first one, writing terrible lines which he pressures Lucius into delivering. Lucius himself is clearly terrified, having been basically forced out in front (and he's about to get bled on again, emphasizing how physically dangerous this situation is for him). Stede is trying to impose his idea of how this world "should" work on the Republic of Pirates, reveling in the fantasy of piracy while also clinging to his lily-white social and racial status.

Then there's his entrance in season 2. He charges in headfirst to take on the very people who created that social and racial world he clung to in season 1. His situational awareness has rocketed up: instead of plowing onward as he does in season 1, he hesitates and pulls back a bit. His position in the world of pirates and the world high-class world of the Brits has changed completely, and he's no longer clinging to the very thing that suffocated him, washed him out (like white linen).

Then there's the people Stede enters with. In the first scene, Stede holds back at first and makes Lucius go first. When he comes out, he stands over to the side: even here in this attempt to enact his fantasy, he's not in the middle. The person in the middle is the tied-up prisoner, a British officer who was captured on a social call: another product of Stede's Anglo world, and a man who Stede himself complains about having a rapport with not long afterwards. It's three white men, and though two of the men are coded gay neither has acted on that at this point in the show. The costumes draw the parallel among the three: all white in varying degrees of cleanliness.

And now there's season 2. Stede enters first, comes out in front, and stands in the middle. Wise? Hell no, but it's a radical shift from when he was forcing other people to take the dangerous job. And this time Stede's flanked by Ed and Zheng Yi Sao, a man and a woman, both people of color wearing highly individualized costumes. The gay man Stede arrives with isn't a put-upon subordinate, it's Stede's boyfriend. They're all armed, they're all in this together.

And finally there's the reason Stede's here. In the first season, he's arrived almost by accident. He wound up with a hostage and didn't know what to do with him, so he wandered around until he got to Jackie's. He's trying to sell a person, which given the parallels between the British prisoner and Stede is a bit like trying to get rid of a part of himself. Boiled down to brass tacks, Stede's arrival here is a selfish act of trying to make the world around him as well as his own personality conform to a fantasy.

In the second season, he's here to save his friends. His crew, the people who trusted him.

Not bad for a Pinocchio.

[docholligay]

I specifically cut this because I'm not trying to come for the author or whatever, but this is, to me, a perfect example of how different expressions of being fucked in the head can hit up against each other. How asking one person to notice and make accommodation can embarrass another.

So, this is a one line joke! But it's saying, at brass tacks, 'I am expressing there's nothing wrong, but my body is trying to tell us both that I am highly anxious. This post is a way of me offhandedly asking people to notice something I don't feel comfortable expressing in real life"

My reaction? When i saw the note count? Oh GOD DAMMIT

Because I am, in fact, fine.

I have Wrong ADHD for A Woman, as I am told frequently by a million 'supportive' posts, and so unfortunately I am very hyperactive. My ENTIRE LIFE I have had to deal with people thinking I'm anxious or wanting to leave, or worse, lying, because my leg is bouncing at the speed of light. When USUALLY, when I get extra twitchy, it means I'm excited or happy, but I really want to continue to listen to you because I find you interesting and love your company, but when I'm so enthused it's very hard for me to be still, so this is a thing I've adapted to. Due to a series of Mean Grade Schoolers, I can sometimes feel sensitive or embarrassed if someone comments on it. Which is on me--I am no longer eight-- but nothing shuts me down quite as quick as "oh, are you okay? Your leg is bouncing, do you want to leave?"

and this IS ABSOLUTELY NOT me saying 'fuck that other poster, mine is the one true way' even though I am in fact right about everything and also very sexy. This is me saying, 'unfortunately people all have different things going on with them, and at a certain point we're going to have to scrap our hypercomplicated labeling system to an extent and evaluate people as individuals' and even more unfortunately, ' we may have to start expressing our actual feelings if we want to be understood '

For me? Bouncing my leg is often a display of joy and love and excitement. I am BETTER than fine. For this person? Stress. Not fine. I hope my friends know x, and I hope their friends know y.

I'm together enough to read a post and go, 'ah, this doesn't apply to me' without being the weirdo fighting in the notes, but I do want to remind everyone that there's not a single neurotypical and/or mentally healthy person left on Tumblr so we may just have to go back to interacting with each other based on personality and individual nature

#and i am very lucky #in that most of my friends who have occasion to see me in person #do in fact broadly know this #that if I'm pacing and bouncy and ruffling my hair i am #at the very worst #merely deep in thought #and mostly genuinely happy #and that its me being still and quiet that portends doom #but they know that from knowing ME #not from knowing anything about my diagnoses or whatever #i do not think knowing i have adhd has helped anyone interact with my annoying ass #anymore than knowing I'm Jewish has #sure there's some things that come from that #but mostly i am a person #good and bad

Hi! I am not familiar with your blog and I read this recent anon ask about idw Sonic being an asshole and not the real Sonic etc. Could you elaborate on these thoughts? Why are you against idw sonic's character traits? It's something I'm really interested in!

Alright then. I'm more than happy about someone not in the loop asking me politely about my thoughts, and generally questioning me about why I feel the way I feel about IDW Sonic's character. Let's get to the brass tacks, shall we?

The thing about IDW Sonic I hate the most is that once upon a time, you could think he was written to be like the Games version of Sonic - a character who follows his own heart, and just does heroics because he 'feels like it'. Generally free as the wind, unable to compromise on his own motivations nor attitude (unless someone brings up a really good point, like Amy does with Gamma) on life. Essentially a flat character that allows others to grow and shape themselves into something they wanted to be, then be on his merry way again.

Then, Issue 12 of IDW Sonic hit, and Sonic - despite this series, at first, stating rather clearly at the start to be 'following the games', as it opened the page just after Sonic Forces, the hit game at the time - decides to let Metal Sonic go out of a sense of 'compassion'.

This is despite the fact that Metal Sonic has been loyal to Eggman since it's inception, is a robot programmed to obey Eggman without anything to suggest otherwise, and Sonic has actively not let other robots made by Eggman the chance to escape him. (Again, besides Gamma, but that's because of Amy's influence, not of his own beliefs.)

Also, this is the same Metal Sonic that threatened most of the early issues, just to find his master (Whom at that point, was being relegated to a amnesiac plot that goes nowhere).

Things just started to go downhill from there.

The Sonic of the games would never Manipulate, Mansplain, nor Malewife his way out of a punishment/apologizing, even when the punishment/apologizing from him came from something that wasn't entirely his fault. Yet, in a good chunk of issues later, we find that Sonic of IDW would willingly do so just to get people off his back:

(Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 50)

(Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 24)

Hell, since I woke up to Sonic's portrayal being cruddy in IDW, I've found that Sonic's been doing this to other characters since Issue 6.

Mainly to 'talk' Shadow out of killing Eggman as Amnesiac Tinker. But it's obvious if you played Battle, this is extremely mean-spirited to Shadow's Character.

(Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 6)

It also doesn't help that, instead of showing compassion to his friends, he weirdly gives compassion to Eggman. You know, the guy whom, at this point, has threatened a city, threatened the world with multiple Space Stations, tried to merge realities to win, and even unleashed gods from beyond just to make Eggmanland?

(Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 32)

You know, Sonic. The guy that literally threw a rock at Eggman in the bad ending of Sonic CD.

The guy that, at the ending of Sonic Adventure 1, chased after Eggman when found out he was still alive?

The guy that, at the end of Sonic Heroes, did not help him in any way and skiddadled the moment he wanted to?

The guy that, at the end of his story in Sonic Riders, literally preformed a turbine blast at Eggman and Amy just to get the Bablyon Rogue's precious item back?

Hell, even the ending of Sonic 1 gives you the option of bapping Eggman's Eggmobile one more time, causing him to explode and fail to escape if you do.

And then, for some odd reason in the Zeti Hunt arc, Sonic starts spouting out things like 'Principles'... even though Sonic has never been a principled character in the games - he does what he wants, when he wants, it doesn't matter if he's a bad guy doing it or not.

(Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 44)

All in all, Idw Sonic is not Sonic, because he exemplifies nothing that makes him a 'Sonic'. And what little traits he has to be a 'Sonic' are swamped by the writers failing to recognize that this is not who Sonic is.

For the unpopular opinion meme - when Logan offers his kids the top job, particularly Shiv in s2, he did actually mean it. He just didn't mean it for very long.

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

What went down with Shiv is directly linked to Logan's inability to predict his own nature and inability to clearly see his children outside of the narrative he's assigned to them. He gets excited when they show promise and refuses to see any potential downsides until they inevitably slip up; then there's no turning back. He will not forgive the slightest imperfection.

After the inital enthusiasm wears off, bitterness, resentment, and jealousy take over. When Shiv impressed him in 2x01, he was ecstatic and relieved that his young and bright daughter --his favorite --had given him the perfect reason not to sell the company.

He doesn't stop to think through the potential conflicts. Even though so much of their dynamic in the first season was them butting heads over Shiv's outspoken liberal politics, he either doesn't think or doesn't expect all that to impact her future position as CEO. Even though it was Shiv's eloquence that won her the role with him, he later convinces himself she's too mouthy.

And yes, Shiv does bring flaws to the table: she's pompous and impatient, such as when she refuses to get down to brass tacks with Frank. She would probably benefit from the management training program.

And yet, he does nothing to talk her through these issues seriously, or advise her in any meaningful way. He just expects her to know.

Or at least, that's what he pretends to expect, because by fixating on Shiv's flaws it's easier to dismiss her and frame it as her fault. He doesn't have to face the fact her power as a smart, liberal young woman taking over frankly intimidates him. He's furious she is who Nan Pierce wants, not him or his company really; and that she's who the world probably wants after cruises.

But he either can't or won't admit that a petty reason like jealousy is behind his motives for shutting her out. He has to wait for something like Shiv tentatively submitting herself as a candidate for PGN, so that, once again, he can tell her (and himself) it's her fault. He doesn't have to admit that the idea of his child, the child he believes he owns and will always have control over, could supplant him, and that's why he refuses to properly mentor and advise her.

Logan is wonderful in the honeymoon phase -- I'm sure that's when he was the most romantic with his wives, and why he charmed Rhea so quickly, and why he and Kendall became so close after Colin cleaned up the aftermath of Dodds dying. It's so much easier in the beginning when the future is just a rosy, abstract thing; but the second conflict rears its head or he feels threatened by the very traits he initially valued in those closest to him, the honeymoon is over and he starts drafting up the divorce papers. Shiv made mistakes, sure, but I genuinely don't think she or Logan knew that she was always going to be fighting a losing battle -- same with Ken, same with Rome. Logan thinks he wants them to succeed him more than anything, when really, he inevitably finds out it's the last thing he wants.

“Loveeeeeee Song” : Tones of Marxism in Modern Capitalist Angst Expressed Through Pop Music

“I don’t want to give you the wrong impression / I need love and affection”

— “Loveeeeee Song”, Rihanna feat. Future, 2012

Graft:

Love (#365efe), and, affection

Network:

loan | loaf ($$$) | vend | affect (to move toward) ٠: ir ٠: direct | ion (state of action)

Hear me out : Rihanna and Future’s “Loveeeeeee Song” as an anachronistic critique of the governmental bailout of “too-big-to-fail” corporations and corporate personhood.

It was a fleeting idea. But I imagined some tug-of-war between the extant capitalist infrastructure and an expanding state body resulting in the carrying through one of the more drastic fiduciary duties of a free government when it comes to intervening in a laissez-faire market, said government being a corporation itself, and said duty being bailouts.

Rather than an appeal to consumers, the singers’ lyrica embody corporations’ market appeal, this time pandering (rather seductively) to the government to subsidize their losses.

“I don’t want to give you the wrong impression /

“I need love and affection /

“And I hope I’m not sounding too desperate /

…

“I’m not asking for the world, maybe /

“You can give me what I want, baby /

“Come hold me tight and when I’m drowning, save me

Basically if you (the government) are really bout that capitalist life, let’s get down to brass tacks. Or gold stacks? Nah, just fiat green backs.

Both the government and the corporations were faced with a question that placed them at the center: How do we save a market when we’re the ones it depends on, saddled as we be with debt national and international alike?

That marked a change or maturation to a subsequent stage of capitalism in America, a quiet renewed fusion of interests intended to seal the fissures that formed, to fill in the places where the companies’ lifeblood hemorrhaged like a Victorian hemophiliac.

“We both grown so how we feel we can let it show

Public-facing, despite socialist (and I use that term lightly) emergency fiduciary infrastructure, one can imagine the corporations’ request that the illusion of a free market be preserved:

“If I’m your girl, say my name boy, let me know I’m in control /

Did the bailouts stipulate governmental shares in tradable companies? I don’t think so. In fact I could be wrong. But:

“Typically, the government also sets higher regulation and oversight of the company, requiring them to restructure…or cap salaries of executives for a time period. Governments provide bailouts in order to maintain regulation of the overall market and economy, and to avoid further collapse of the financial system.”

(Cornell Law 2020)

So I imagine “Loveeeeee Song” captures a subconscious collective angst experienced on the part of free market companies when the federal government intervened.

“Why window shop when you own this? /

Then there’s government bureaucrats leaning over one’s shoulder in the business sector.

“Don’t slip, don’t slip /

And a latent desire for subsidy and privately held means of production to be handed over to the state?

“I just wanna be in your possession /

Marxist sentiments within a capitalist system would be the equivalent of a Freudian death wish or a red scare. But ideally only rears its head as a fleeting but purportedly fatal-to-capitalism-and-freedom solution as one lays out paths toward a return to solvency with minimal disenfranchisement.

Rihanna and Future’s tune was released in 2012. Four years after the TARP bailout that included Chrysler motors. Not as timely a response if we’re limited to our own borders.

But Spain endured a similar economic hardship in 2012. This all being spun from straw here, there’s still room for artistic commiseration with a neighbor across the pond. And in some fateful wyrding way that may have been wrapped up in the liminality of the song.

Some of these musical artists are impressively innovative and inspiringly aware.

Maybe “Loveeeeeee Song” was a way of processing the shock to our exceptional exceptionalism. Some of us will need bailouts in life. Some of us won’t. I know I’ve been the one in need more than a few times in my life.

Anyways, we can learn to understand ourselves through others. Enduring similar situations bridges convivial realms that seem inaccessible by mundane standards yet grant us access when filtered through different media such as art and music.

So…ludibrium or laudi?

Today's mix:

Past Lessons / Future Theories by Slam 2000 Tech-House / Techno / House / Deep House

Oh, hell yes, folks. Today, we've got an exquisite turn-of-the-millennium double-disc mix, courtesy of Glasgow's greatest techno DJ pair to ever do it, Slam. Back in the early 90s, these guys were part of the group that was responsible for co-founding the terrific Soma Quality Recordings label—also based out of Glasgow—and these days they play sets all across the globe, have their very own festival, and host one of techno's most popular weekly podcasts too: Slam Radio. Needless to say, in a genre whose overall ephemerality tends to be so key, and with so many acts who debuted in the early 90s having naturally fallen by the wayside, the fact that these two have managed to become, and still remain, an institution in this space is such a commendably rare feat in and of itself 👏. And a mix like this serves as a stellar example as to why they've managed to stick around and stay in the top echelon of techno DJs for so long. Past Lessons / Future Theories certainly doesn't catch Slam in their earliest days, but it's still only the second mix of theirs to ever be released commercially, and the first since 1996's Psychotrance 4, on Moonshine Music. And while the first disc is the far chiller of the two and sees them tying to shy away from dropping the straight-up techno jams, it's the second disc where they decide to really channel their true, uninhibited inner selves, and get down to brass tacks 😤.

Now, while most mixes tend to have names that you really shouldn't read too much into, I think there's a meaning behind this one's in particular, and that it's really exemplified by a single track: Josh Wink and Lil' Louis' "How's Your Evening So Far?" Real house heads who know their history are already undoubtedly familiar with the name Lil' Louis, as he's the guy who made one of the biggest ever house tunes of the 1980s, with the warm and chuggingly sensual "French Kiss." But with this track from 2000 here, Philadelphia's Josh Wink manages to revive that classic while simultaneously cozily wrapping it in his own techno knowhow, yielding a total banger that, over 20 years later, still satisfies plentifully 😌. So, if Past Lessons / Future Theories means taking what you've already learned and then building something new and lasting directly on top of it, then Wink really knocked that whole concept out of the damn park with this song here.

And also, while this second disc largely seems to run a slightly dark, yet eclectic contemporary techno gamut of sorts, I still definitely gotta give it up especially for Mad Mike Banks' "String Mix" of The Aztec Mystic's "Jaguar." This is a tune that builds itself in anticipation to a boiling point with its very prominent, sharp, and dramatic orchestral string work, with those strings eventually transitioning into creakily seesawing Hitchcockian stabs when the drumbeat finally comes in at the end. Such a phenomenal track!

So, in all honesty, after listening to this album's first disc, I was starting to get ready to conclude that while Slam had been trusted veteran DJs for a good while by the year 2000, this release itself didn't actually have the transcendent 'wow' factor that you might expect. But evidently, these guys were just saving up all their magic for disc 2. Disc 1 isn't a total skipper by any means, but that second one really shows you what these Glasgow legends are capable of weaving together, and to that end, why they've managed to outlast almost all of their peers as well.

Listen to CD1 here. Listen to CD2 here.

Highlights:

CD1:

E-Dancer - "Heavenly (Juan Atkins Remix)" Flunky - "Love Song (Dub)" Sueño Latino - Sueno Latino (Bushwacka! Tek Mix)" Mark Flash - "Timbales Calientes" Silicone Soul - "Right On, Right On"

CD2:

Bushwacka! - "Healer (House Mix)" Hipp-E & Eric Davenport - "Jesus Loves 2000" Valentino Kanzyani - "Fever" Trevor Rockcliffe - "A Sound Called House" Samuel L. Session - "Tribe Cut" Death In Vegas - "Dirge (Slam Mix)" Josh Wink & Lil' Louis - "How's Your Evening So Far?" Black Odyssey - "The Stand" Gaetano Parisio - "1999" Slam - "Positive Education" The Aztec Mystic - "Jaguar (Mad Mike String Mix)"

“we may agree that saving ellie was the right thing but we shouldn’t deny that what he did in order to do it is wrong”

THIS. Everyone is going on about how he had no choice and did the right thing etc, etc but the fact is he still murdered a bunch of people in cold blood. When you get down to brass tacks what he did isn’t all that different from what the fireflies were going to do to Ellie. They were willing to sacrifice one person to potentially find a cure that could save the human race. And Joel sacrificed a ton of people to save the life of one person. Both the fireflies and Joel had noble goals but that doesn’t mean that what they were willing to do to achieve those goals was right.

fr it’s quite literally two sides of the same coin. the coin being saving the lives of the people they love.

Pulp Words: Siân Pattenden Taken from Select Magazine, October 1994 Transcription: Acrylic Afternoons

Russell Senior is the guitarist with "mad, staring eyes" and an interesting sideline in violin-playing with Pulp. He lives in Sheffield with his girlfriend and two children in a Coronation Street-style abode with a "certiflable lunatic" over the road who throws stones at his window. He is having a problem getting rid of the Artex that swamps the walls of the house at the moment, and has just finished painting the bathroom.

COCKTAIL SHAKER "I've always liked the idea of it, but only recently have I been able to afford to do it. The idea of sophistication like in a James Bond movie. It's just civilised values. Particularly in Sheffield, there's a tendency for things to turn into a Hogarthian nightmare. All these lairy people wandering about. It's for people like me to keep a stiff upper lip."

SUNGLASSES "I have so many. It started a few years ago in France. I wore these sunglasses, and afterwards in a nightclub loads of French people offered me money for them. I thought, Here's a way to earn money. So I bought loads of pairs and wandered around waiting for people to buy them. They didn't. Also, I've got these mad staring eyes. At concerts people'd be dancing, but there'd be a pool of emptiness in front of me, with people looking terrified. I started wearing sunglasses so I wouldn't disconcert people."

SOPHIE "She's my daughter, she's six. She's very into the macabre, Egyptology, vampires, things like that. Her favourite book is the Tibetan Book Of The Dead. Her teachers must think we're Satanists or something, because I see her school books and it's all drawings of vampires and stuff like that. I quite like horror films and horror books, but it's mainly her interest. She wants 'em."

JACKET "It's my own and I have worn it, but I wouldn't wear it to do the gardening. I got it from the cat shelter at the top of our road - a charity shop, not a place for beleaguered cats. I think originally it was the jacket that the mayor of a small American town owned."

GLASSES "These are from East Germany. I bought dozens of boxes of these in a car boot sale and they're the only ones left because they're so fragile. They're amazing, the kind of thing that would be in Modesty Blaise. They're completely impractical, which isn't really me. I like everything to be functional. I only use drinking glasses that are not made this century. It's tacky, new glass. I don't like tack and I don't really like the '70s either."

LAMP "You know lava lamps? I used to sell them. That's very Pulp, innit? That's a glitter one. The thing about your lava lamp is they take an hour to warm up, and they're good to look at but the light they give out isn't terribly interesting. Whereas the glitter ones give out a nice warm light. That's from my dealing days - kitch value that is, but I use it."

TREASURE CHEST "About three years ago Sophie found a large golden key in a wood near us, and recently she found a bottle with a map. We found this old tunnel from the map, and we came across this treasure chest. It's true. It had brass candlesticks in it, rum, spices, amber, old books in Latin, Roman coins - treasure. It was worth nothing individually, but accumulatively... it was everywhere the glint of gold. It's here to stand for the fact that I'm the treasurer of the abode, which means doing things like doing the books."

WALLPAPER "It's fairly neutral. The main thing in this house is getting round the Artex in the other rooms. I regard Artex as an affront to civilised values, a deeply cynical form of decorating. To me it's the epitome of bad taste, I try to avoid it."

CHESS "I play on tour. Touring is 90 per cent intensely boring, and there's always a tendency to do the most mind-numbing things - to be surrounded by screwed-up cans of lager, play Nintendo and have three kinds of music all playing at the same time. It's terrible. Whereas chess perks the mind up. I'm not a good player but it's one of those civilised things."

STEREO CABINET "I don't think it looks very nice. It's OK, but you've got to put it on all the black hifi stand stuff. I've got a thing about keeping any sort of reference to music out of the mainstream of my life. You won't see any Pulp posters in my house. I don't listen to our records."

MUSHROOMS "I use them in cooking, I pick them to eat them. I learnt about them from books. I had this chart with mushrooms on, I saw all these exotic things you could find in the woods. Fungi is an amazing world, but there's a certain snobbery involved - it's just an excuse to charge exorbitant prices for a meal. Most of them aren't as nice as ordinary mushrooms from a shop. That's the truth, as someone who's tried most of them. The best? A shaggy parasol is probably the finest."

HERBS "I like having all the herbs and spices there are, every nut in existence, every seaweed. I like going to shops to buy a nice vegetable or piece of meat, and come home and think, What are we going to do with you then? I like having every possible cuisine available to me. That choice. If I was going to live in London it would be because you can't get fresh basil in Sheffield."

RECORDS "I don't listen to that much, but I'd listen to Wagner and Bach quite a lot. The Rolling Stones are probably my favourite classic rock band. (Confidentially) I have listened to The Auteurs a bit, that's my concession to the '90s. It doesn't play a large part in my life music, at home."

SUNGLASSES STAND "Plastic and fluorescent, maybe luminous. I wouldn't have that kind of rubbish in my living room ordinarily, it's my one token Pulp thing. If you're going to say Pulp is all about '70s-ness and kitschness, well, it's one media perception that isn't me. There are other elements to Pulp of which I'm one."

VIOLIN BOW "To represent my amazing violin playing in the group, such as it is. My violin's at the practice room. No, I don't play it round the house to amuse the kids."

Kitten.

As an INFJ mental health provider, I have a feeling that I could be communicating in a way that might better meet my sensor clients. My intuitive clients seem to really feel supported by me, but some of my sensor clients seem confused or maybe put in a position of insecurity by my communication style. How can I do better and improve?

This topic is covered in the articles about Emotional Triggers and Caring for Emotional Needs, please read them. Your question is quite basic and it's difficult for me to respond when I don't know how much you know. If you want to be able to apply knowledge about type appropriately, you first need to have good knowledge of all the types, so read the study guides if you haven't yet.

For example: There are 8 kinds of Sensors, are you familiar with all of them and their unique characteristics? Do you understand what Sensing is, what being a Sensor means, and how it differs from being an Intuitive? Do you understand the two different Sensing functions and how they differ from each other? Do you understand how being Ni dominant influences your relationships with SPs versus SJs?

When trying to help, it's only natural that people begin with strategies that have worked or would presumably work for themselves. However, as you've seen, the strategies do not always transfer well to others if their way of perceiving and judging is very different. When your higher functions are someone else's lower functions, using your natural approach will only serve to trigger their lower function problems and insecurities.

For instance, INFJs are very future-oriented because of dominant Ni. Advising Se doms with inferior Ni to be future-oriented may backfire because they have no idea how to do it the way you do it. What's worse, they will likely feel bad for it and then have to manage that negativity, on top of whatever problem you're helping them with.

Ni has a tendency to mistake belief for fact, so it's important to ensure that you give people the help they actually need rather than the help you believe they should need. Communicating about needs is vital. Identify how they perceive/judge the situation (through their functions) and address the problem from their perspective, in ways that align with their aims and goals.

What is the state of your Fe development? Fe health and maturity is vital for INFJs to be effective helpers, carers, or providers. Fe grants you a much greater capacity to empathize and grasp what others are feeling. Also, the more mature auxiliary Fe is, the greater dominant Ni's capacity for accurately visualizing someone's perspective as a whole, even when it's very different from your own. This is the main strength of INFJs and developing it should be an ongoing project.

General rules of thumb for dealing with your opposites:

Sensors prefer help that is concise, concrete, and firmly grounded in reality. (Do you understand what "concrete" and "grounded" really entail, considering that Se is your inferior function?) Ss don't have as much patience for long drawn out explorations of speculative routes to a solution. They need to have complete confidence that an idea can be carried out successfully at the start, which means you should work out all the details or steps properly before presenting an idea to them. You need to properly account for all of the practical difficulties they are facing, or else they will feel as though you don't understand them.

Thinkers prefer help in the form of factual explanations (of the problem), straightforward logical connections, actionable advice, and reasonably quick tangible results. Their feelings and emotions are not as plentiful and near the surface as Fs. They may require more creative approaches for getting in touch with their feelings. They may not require as much time for emotional processing before getting down to brass tacks.

Extraverts prefer help to be action-oriented. Since they face outward more than inward, they have less aptitude for inner reflection. For extraverts such as SPs, prompting them to think too much can actually become self-destructive. While they need to develop their auxiliary introverted function, the process always has to be respectful to their dominant extraverted function, or else they might unwittingly fall into inferior grip and make everything worse.

Perceivers (aka Prospectors) prefer to maintain an attitude of openness, hopefulness, and trust in the world. They might not like to hear things that imply: they only have one option, there is only one way of doing things, or there is only one possible outcome, etc. The help you give them should allow them to feel a sense of agency and flexibility in determining the outcome for themselves.

One of the most common problems when opposites meet is that they tend to be blind to each other's strengths and only see each other's weaknesses, because their functions are on opposite ends of the functional stack. To help them effectively is a matter of seeing and acknowledging their strengths and guiding them to make better use of them. It's difficult because their strengths are your weaknesses and thus likely to unconsciously trigger your lower function insecurities, which is why self-awareness is an important component of helping. You need to know how you are factoring in to the helping relationship and whether you are being objective, fair, and impartial in your evaluations. What you don't want is to inadvertently make people feel as though there's something fundamentally wrong with who they are (because they aren't like you) and then try to change them (to be more like you).

Okay while I somewhat disagree with you on RWDE, I go agree that Shane's letter was correct given the circumstances that came out, is valid and both M&K were hardly the bad guys, even though I do hold a negative view towards Miles mainly due to his handling of the Vic thing (I take the position of ISWV and thought he was screwed by the court FTR).

I prefer to keep my views on the whole Vic thing private (watch bad actors automatically assume I'm a Vic stan regardless) because I find it all a very dicey situation to unpack, but I find it very telling that Rooster Teeth was willing to just cut off ties with him, a contracted voice actor, immediately once his contract for Volume 6 ended, while they harboured permanent staff like Ryan Haywood and Adam Kovic for years.

I do think that Miles and Kerry are largely harmless in the grand scope of things - though I think Miles is definitely the more sussy one of the two. I attribute most of how they run RWBY to incompetence or even willful negligence at worst, rather than outright malice.

We know they know people have been giving them critique about how to improve RWBY for years - it's impossible for them to not know because everything else they write is based on kneejerk reactions to fan demands, but they choose not to engage with those critiques with any genuine good faith, preferring instead to hide behind their fans and "we won't listen to it if it's mean"... only to backhandedly blanket all the critics as mean so they don't have to listen to any critique, period.

That is behaviour I can evidently see and that is the extent I will condemn their actions: mainly as the writers/directors of RWBY and those most entrusted to be its stewards. If weird nerds want to keep putting those two on a pedestal that "Monty entrusted RWBY to them as his close friends and partners" then that only holds them up to a higher standard. You can't idolise them as RWBY's messiahs and then not be angry when instead of turning water into wine, they just turn it into soured milk.

When you get down to brass tacks, this was a late artist's final work and the fact they can mismanage it and use it as a shield from criticism for so long IS something they will always be responsible for and one I will always hold them accountable to. If they knew more and knew better, then they should know and act better, but they didn't, and have still not learned from any efforts made to help them.

Guilt trip to followers to play with your OC isn't cool that's the real t x

//I'm sorry but I don't guilt-trip anyone into doing anything, Nonny. I'm not responsible for how you choose to perceive what I say but I can tell you that my intention is not what you think. Let's get down to brass tacks & be really transparent so you can understand my meaning.

I feel guilty about leaving peeps hanging. I also feel guilty about switching muses to focus on, especially when a certain muse is a long-standing one that's built up adoration from those that write with them. All I can do is apologise to those writers but I refuse to cage myself or write for the sake of others & overlook my wants. When I say I feel overshadowed by a muse of mine, I mean that I personally feel that muse is superior to my other muses & want to create a muse that I'm confident in. They're like my own personal standard for what I can achieve if I work hard. I want to do my best & break my own insecurity.

I don't want others to feel guilty about loving a certain muse of mine - I encourage them to love any muse I write & hope they continue to support their preferred muse. I don't want pity follows or interaction. I don't expect follows or interaction from anyone. Everyone is free to do whatever they are comfortable doing, no offence taken. I want only those interested in interaction to follow me but even if someone follows me just as a means of saying they support my endeavour, I'm grateful.

Personally, I as a writer want to follow & interact with all my friends & writing partners across all their blogs - if I enjoy their writing, I want to write with them regardless of muses. I'm invested in their talent & couldn't care less about the packaging, if you get me. That's the person I am. C'est la vie. We're all different. We all write according to our comfort & interest levels & hey, maybe two muses just aren't compatible regardless of the muns. Maybe a mun has a preferred verse or canon. Maybe they have an issue with a faceclaim or a character's personality. There's so many reasons why they may not write with me & I respect that, even without actually knowing their reasons. I don't hound them demanding to know why - if anything, I respect the boundary I sense & limit / cease interaction in case of any of the above.

Yes, at first it's a little hurtful for me emotionally because I love my writing partners &, as stated, want to write with them no matter what. Do I hold a grudge though? No. I get over myself & carry on. I can't control them. I pour my love on them with the muse they prefer. But again, I know that others are different; they might, subconscious or not, dislike a muse just because that muse is currently being focused on. So I apologise & ask them not to do this. Any issue they have shouldn't be made into a personal vendetta & it shouldn't reflect on a character. For instance, I can love a writer (professional or not) but dislike a character of theirs - but that doesn't make me disregard the writer's skill or my love for them.

Hopefully I've cleared up your misconception & gotten my intent across clearly. I suppose the actual really real tea here is this: it's rude to assume or deface someone's integrity based on an ill-conceived assumption or otherwise condemn them with only your opinion as evidence. But whoop, you're entitled to an opinion just as I'm entitled to supply the facts as I see them.

Thank you,

Max x

Failure to Launch

I've been listening to a podcast on the Russian Revolution and something that has struck me as kind of a consolation about our own political radicals is that they're probably too inept to actually carry out their own political projects with any effectivity.

The biggest issue comes from the fact that in the radical left/progressive corners they're both politically ascendant and that they can't actual branch out to make any meaningful connections. Essentially they're neutralized by the political establishment in order to be useful idiots to continue to bolster their political base, I mean they supported both Clinton and Biden instead of taking their votes away and making the Dems suffer a collapse.

The thing is, the reason why revolutions are often successful is that the conditions are so bad that they do not have any other choice but to give in to the demands of those who have gained the upper hand. Nicholas II was an inept and ineffectual ruler with Bloody Sunday showed that he was a bad ruler to the point where the public confidence crumpled and forced him to eventually give into the general demands and gave legitimacy to the political radicals as well.

The other thing is that complaining that "the political right is on the rise and is coming after me" is a self inflicted wound. The institutions that the progressives and the left in general have been pretty self destructive by basically having a massive guilt complex, having very elaborate money laundering operations and actively promoting pedophiles.

I mean, the progressives and supposed revolutionaries are ultimately carrying water for the failing establishment which will then ultimately weaken their base even further until the right eclipses them.

It's like if the revolutionary SR's during the Russian Revolution of 1905 weren't agitating for their agenda and were just trying to advocate only for Constitutional Monarchy instead of an agrarian socialist revolution .

The sad thing is that Ancoms have more in common with the Ancaps and even the moderate left but, they're not going to work out because they're supposedly ideological purists but constantly votes against their own interests or they fight over something so insignificant and so they fracture into so many different faction that they're ineffective.

I mean, they're largely classist and racist when you get down to brass tacks, who refuse to actually be empathetic to the plight of the disenfranchised unless they have the right characteristics. Like, how the feds are trying to create Zimbabwe by prioritizing funds for black farmers as a form of reparations which is probably going to lead to some form of starvation, especially for the economically disenfranchised.

But then again, I suspect that the rise in bigotry is because of there's been so much water carrying for groups of people not based on their actions or just plain old deflection. Listen, if you want a society where people are judged fairly, the first step is admitting you have some bad apples, that not everything you do is somehow justified and just have some humility. Otherwise the extremists become more and more legitamized.

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, An Unlikely Success

So yeah, VERY late on this game, specifically reviewing the first one since I beat it recently, today actually. Much like everyone else, I was super confused when it was first leaked, as the entire concept of Mario teaming up with the Rabbids sounded...stupid to be blunt. And I'm not a huge fan of Ubisoft as a company either, that didn't help.

One way or another though, the game ended up in my hands somehow, and I initially stopped somewhere in World 3, the penultimate one. I don't remember why that was either, but I decided to finally get through the whole thing as something to hold me over while waiting for Sonic Frontiers to release. And then I got to the final world and forgot to continue for like 2 weeks. Whoops.

Fresh off the heels of my actual completion though, I'd say Kingdom Battle is pretty solid? Certainly had room for improvement that I hear its sequel capitalized on, but this was a fun time! I'll speed through the basics of what the game actually is to get to brass tacks. So, it's a turn-based strategy game where you lead Mario and his allies across battlefields and wield cartoony/sci-fi laser blasters to fight Rabbid fusions with Mario elements. The mechanics are streamlined more than a typical game of the genre to make it more accessible, but that doesn't mean there's no depth.

Characters have specialized roles, weapon kits, and skills to aid them in said roles. Luigi is a sniper, so all his attributes are built for him to fire from a long distance, etc. The game puts enough control into the player's hands that I felt I could approach the missions in any way with almost any team composition (you're not allowed to take Mario out of the team). So I'd say battles never lost their luster, even by the end.

What I think DID was the overworld, unfortunately. I got the impression that all the collectibles were placed after the fact, and that each world was designed as a linear path you only run through once. Makes more sense for a platformer than a role-playing game, and is also something the sequel apparently addressed. The puzzles within the worlds also contributed to this meh feeling, as pretty much all of them involved activating switches and/or pushing blocks. Not mindless by any means, but I would've appreciated more variety.

Thankfully, I can much more easily praise the music. If there's anything people who played can agree on, it's that Kingdom Battle has a very pleasant, whimsical and fun soundtrack befitting of Mario's world. Don't think there was a single one I disliked as I played, worth a listen for sure.

So as a whole, I'm glad to have finally finished this game, I liked it. Not the best RPG I've played but it gave me exactly the experience I was hoping for, a cozy and fun romp with only occasional bumps in the road. Will I play the sequel? Eh, maybe if I can find it used, don't wanna be directly giving money to Ubisoft.

Unlocking Efficiency: 8 Benefits of Outsourcing ReactJS Development to India

ReacJS is a widely recognized and used tool from the JavaScript development arsenal. It powers over a million websites globally, with usage growing by 0.5% each year. Launched in 2013 by Facebook, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that ReactJS rose to popularity within the tech community in a heartbeat. After all, it's the technology behind tech behemoths like PayPal, DropBox, Netflix, the New York Times, Facebook, and Airbnb.

While the upsides of going for this web development library are manifold, what remains a question for many is whether to outsource a ReactJS Development Company or build a team from the ground up.

In this blog, we want to settle this once and for all by exploring the merits of opting for  ReactJS Outsourcing Company in India.

But before that, let's do a refresher on what makes ReactJS a compelling choice for web development projects.

Advantage of ReactJS

Aside from the fact that ReactJS continues to be favored by top companies worldwide, it also emerged as the most sought-after development language in a 2020 Stack Overflow survey.

Let's quickly get down to the brass tacks of what makes ReactJS such a popular option.

#1: Reusable system components in ReactJS streamline updates, testing, and maintenance. Changes in one component don't mess up the others, making coding fuss-free.

#2: JavaScript extension (JSX), while optional, adds a lot of value. It simplifies the process of converting HTML mockups into ReactElement trees and helps manage large component trees.

#3: Virtual DOM is a game-changer for performance. It allows for smooth, hiccup-free functioning of websites and apps, making outsourcing ReactJS development services a smart move for businesses.

#4: ReactJS's declarative language means UI updates are a snap, with automatic modifications in response to data changes.

#5: Being SEO-friendly is a major plus for ReactJS. Its server-side rendering lets search engine bots treat apps like regular HTML pages, boosting visibility.

#6: The bigger developer community of ReactJS is a lifeline during development hiccups. Open source and collaborative, it ensures smooth sailing in app and website creation.

#7: React Developer Tools, an essential browser extension, helps in component inspection and crafting bug-free apps.

#8: Stable code is another hallmark of ReactJS. Its codebase is thoughtfully designed, backward compatible, and migration-friendly.

Now that we’ve touched upon the benefits of ReactJS, let’s get into the crux of the matter.

Reasons To Outsource ReactJS Development to India

ReactJS works as an effective development tool, especially when you have dedicated resources on board and have them at your disposal when needed. However, setting up an in-house ReactJS team is easier said than done, as it means going through the whole hiring process and needing solid project management skills.

Conversely, choosing to outsource ReactJS development to an offshore software company can be a much smarter move. Here are 8 undeniable reasons why:

Maximize Budget Efficiency

Outsourcing your ReactJS development to a ReactJS Outsourcing Company in India can be a real budget-saver. You can skip the hefty costs that come with an in-house team, like salaries, training, and benefits. This will especially benefit startups and smaller firms looking for extensive ReactJS development.

Scale Projects Easily

Expanding the scope of your project becomes a frictionless experience with outsourcing ReactJS development. It's ideal for building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), offering a hassle-free alternative to the full-fledged affair of managing an in-house team.

Simplify Maintenance

Outsourcing to ReactJS outsourcing companies in India means you can worry less about the time and effort spent on team upkeep. Going this route will free you from employee management challenges and let you focus on the bigger picture.

Access Global Expertise

Outsourcing ReactJS connects you with the expertise of the creme de la creme in ReactJS. These pros can take your app or website to a different level with their know-how and the tricks of the trade.

Speed Up Market Entry

A ReactJS Outsourcing Company in India understands your needs quickly and works tirelessly to bring your app to life faster than an in-house team could. This efficiency is key in getting your product to market swiftly.

Focus on Core Business

With your ReactJS development safely in the hands of a ReactJS Development Company, you can concentrate on your business's core activities. Which means more time for strategy, marketing, and growth.

Enjoy Flexibility

Outsourcing ReactJS development offers effortless flexibility. Whether scaling your team or shifting project directions, an outsourced team adapts quickly, unlike the rigid structure of in-house teams.

Innovate Continuously

Partnering with a ReactJS Development Company ensures you're reaping the benefits of what's the latest. It brings fresh outlooks and trend-driven methodologies, paving the way for innovative development and user testing.

Choosing to outsource your ReactJS development opens doors to worldwide talent, cost savings, and the ability to adjust your project size as needed. But it's crucial to pick the right partner who understands both the technical side and the workflow of ReactJS development.
