important question: does my online presence radiate "silly goofy" or "put this idiot in a mental ward"

Sorry if I ever seem standoffish and weird, I'm very anxious and have only 0.5% social skills

It will happen again.

I got fired from my job for "refusing to work" (a straight up lie), changing the music (every employee there has done this and never told off for it), no call no show on a day i requested off well in advance because it was the anniversary of my dad dying, and "being rude to coworkers" which boggles my mind because I can't even think of a situation in which I was rude to my coworkers. Did they mean when these twig girls were lifting 20lbs with their backs straight off the floor and I was trying to tell them how to do it right because doing it the way they were could seriously injure them?? Was it when my coworker over shared about her boyfriend, telling me about how he regularly threatens to destroy her belongings and I told her she should break up with him??? Literally cannot think of anything other than those two. What the fuck.

Like I know logically that most likely that was another complete lie for the sole purpose of papering my file. But also dammit now I'm mentally running through all my interactions of the last month.

#vent #sorry i keep trying to sleep and then i think about this bullshit #like i KNOW they fired me because i got them in trouble with hr and tried to unionize #because the timing is too perfect otherwise #but also seriously #AND ON TOP OF THAT THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME MY CONTRACT

I have nothing to add about Todd in the Shadows video other than like. In one of the clips he used Somerton was clearly dunking on Ulysses and I'm sorry you're not allowed to dunk on Ulysses if you haven't read it, which I fucking know this man didn't because he called it "265,000 words of a man wandering around a city while his wife cheats on him"

Like you do not have to have LIKE Ulysses (I'm more found of Joyce's work in Dubliners) but you DO have to read it before your dunking on it

#I'm sorry but I'm Irish and majored in writing I have to complain about the disrespect somewhere #but also seriously #read the dead by James Joyce you can just he #find PDFs of it it's in the public domain if you don't read anything else of his read that one #I guess if you've read Finnegan's Wake but not Ulysses you can dunk on Ulysses but don't do that #anyway this conclude alto's righteous writing nerd hour

When you think about it, the fact I live in a medieval city, with medieval structures still in tact, with a medieval castle, in a house built directly on the medieval West gate, right beside a medieval church, practise a medieval sword fighting system, and LARP being a knight daily, it's extremely queer-phobic that no one has offered to just knight me already. 🤷😔

I just wanna talk about the Rats finale cause Im crying

I absolutely loved Rats. It was something completely different from the mostly vanilla SMPs I watch and it always brought a smile to my face whenever Scott streamed it. That SMP was something I could always look forward to and would always bring me a reason to laugh and smile while watching a bunch of friends fool around and have fun. On top of that, the writing was incredibly well written and the finale had me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next

Above all else, though, within Rats I was able to be comforted through a breakup, find myself through the characters, and have something that I could always fall back on when I needed a laugh

I will miss Rats, I think Ive done a good job at showing that, but Im just as excited for all the new projects these creators put forth. In the words of Owen Owengejuice, stay ratty

#rats smp #sorry for getting sappy on main #might have to make a cas.cries tag so people can block it /j #but also seriously #i loved this smp so much #and i get that i just said ‘also seriously’ about a minecraft server where people pretend to be rats #but you know #cas.talks

"I would warn you it has a lot of flashing lights and stove effects" said before a Eurovision entry is so funny to me because it would be so much easier for them to put it as a perminant banner at the bottom

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

#dinosaur #evolution #comic #prehistoric #animal #wildlife #paleontology #biology #poetry #comics #original #my art #archaeopteryx has no direct living descendants i know #but i wanted something aerial and the dinosaur to bird connection is classic and well known anyway #also the chicken over any other bird is very on purpose #its the mix of truth and comedy and genuineness and the fantastic in the mundane #its me asking you to see something so wonderful in something taken so un-seriously #and to love it both ways #also the jurassic park thing #where someone saw the reconstructed gait of a dino #and said. hey hang on. i know that walk. #and pulled up footage of a chicken walking #which jumpstarted the entire study into the link between dinosaurs and birds #in the end take whatever you want from it i just thought id provide some insight #i always like it when other artists do #the point is that i enjoy when people laugh at the end and when they dont #and i like it when they cry. i like it best when they both laugh and cry. eeaao intent #anyway mourn your losses but to live is to change #also hi guys i finally figured out tipping after 5 months so no more annoying ko-fi link

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

#obligatory disclaimer that this really really obviously is not universal #I do live in a major progressive city #there's definitely a level of a liberal bubble effect here #but it's still really powerful to see it #because even in a major liberal enclave there were so many limits on the gender roles and homophobia etc. etc. fronts #and also the limits of the oppressive weight of obligatory teen apathy lol #seriously go gen z. so glad you guys decided cringe is dead. I love you for that so much #and I love it for you #not news #life #hope #homophobia #sexism #teens #teenagers #progress #gen z #btw if it wasn't clear I'm a #millennial #plush toy #plushie #squishmallows #build a bear #stuffed animal #like the idea of almost any teenager much less teenage boys #saying IN FRONT OF THEIR PEERS #that they are excited about their STUFFED ANIMALS #when I was a teenager #????? #cannot imagine that ever happening.

genuinely it will never stop baffling me how people will wear twilight shirts and talk about team Edward vs team Jacob and then the same people will be like "I'm not basing my personality off of a piece of media (harry potter) made by a transphobe 😌" like good that's great! so you can excuse racism but you draw the line at transphobia? good to know

#remember when twilight came out and there were news articles about the quileute tribe and also if you read the books with your eyes #you know that theyre extremely like INSANELY racist #i remember reading them at age 10 and thinking 'wow this author hates women and native americans' #and i was right bc later i found out shes mormon 😐 #begging you all to take racism and especially pretty extreme racism against natives seriously lmfao

Mystra showed him the secrets beneath the veils. The gossamer veils first, draped across the Weave. The delicate veils next, draped across her body. 'Chosen One' she whispered, as she slipped them off completely.

poor gale :'(

- the dialogue is from ea gale's explanation about his folly

- i kinda like that she ended up looking like a mother-of-pearl inlay lacquerware!

- oh this was a subconscious choice, but Gale is sitting in seiza which is a posture for showing respect especially to elders. it's also known to be a painful position to sit in for extended periods of time, which is why it was sometimes used as a method of (morally dubious) punishment. however, experienced people can maintain this posture for much longer. food for thought :-)

- (edit: deleted this point bcs it didn't really make sense + detracted from the art a little;;)

#also had other companion drawings w gale and mystra planned for this but none of them are complete... perhaps another day #mystra #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #bg3 fanart #gale of waterdeep #gale dekarios #my art #hm i dont have many opportunities to share my mystra thoughts so! #mystra is incredibly difficult to redesign and draw! I want to give her a fantastical element to her while retaining her austere aloofness #(her unassuming design is actually surprisingly effective in making her seem so effortlessly powerful) #I love spiderweb imagery and braids(weave) for her but braids make her seem so... kind? very soft? i'll try again another day... #is this seriously my last post of 2023. goddamn

One of the most annoying things I've found out about my master on app development is that i have to install SO MANY different add ons and programs to be able to work this shit out

It's so annoying it makes me want to drive my car off a cliff I will rather do it on paper

I will go to your house and do whatever you need the app to do by myself with my two own human hands I'm so tired

EDIT IT JUST GAVE ME AN ERROR TO INSTALL YOU HAVE SPACE NOW BITCH ACT LIKE IT

#ive lost all morning #trying to download this shit #having to do a backup of my whole computer so i couldd delete sshit #because i dont have space #i hate this #just end my suffering #im just being petty #but also seriously
