there is no possible way to communicate to my fucking roommates that they're not doing their share of the chores in this house without them ignoring or hating me and i feel like i'm going Insane

#i wanna talk about me #i texted this morning saying Hey guys its dirty in here. i'm doing my part now please do yours at some point today too #and just the other minute i checked with the person who's supposed to do the counters if she did them yet #cause they're still fucking dirty. #and she said i cleaned them last night and always does them at night #Well then why is there a fucking oil slick next to the stove that's been there for three days then. #But just me trying as politely as possible to check in and ask 'did you get to the counters yet?' and she got cross with me #i can tell. #and of course she hasn't done the bathroom yet either. #even though it's her week. and was last week too. #but it's still gross. #and she hasn't fucking touched it. #and like #she got way on MY ass months ago for the exact same fucking chores. and not being up to her cleanliness standards #but no matter how many times i try to improve things or speak up nothing changes #if i ask nothing changes. if i keep asking i'm an annoying nag and they hate me!!! #what the fuck am i supposed to do!! #i can't clean an entire house of four people all by myself every week!! #AND WE AGREED TO SHARE THE CLEANING!!!!!!!!!! #WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE HOUSEHOLD MEETINGS ABOUT THIS

decided to try out those "smol" laundry capsules bc i do all my grocery shopping by bike and lugging a heavy bottle of laundry liquid home is the worst but i bought the normal non-bio ones instead of the fragrance-free ones without thinking about it and whew. stronk.

didn't realise i'd been choosing all my detergents for mildness of smell up until now but i will be switching to the fragrance-free trial instead bc this is. so much

#i wish they did a fragrance-free washing up liquid #bc i got the washing up liquid and it does seem genuinely better than the ecover stuff i had before #(i hate the ecover stuff. nothing gets clean. one bottle has so far lasted me about nine months and i want it GONE) #but omg the smell of it is so powerful #and it's not such a big problem with washing up liquid bc it's temporary whereas laundry affects the clothes etc in an ongoing way #but. i do not vibe with strong smells. i need it to be less #personal

(personal vent about my sack of shit father ruining christmas again)

me, my fathers only "daughter"/child:

helps my grandmother for weeks to prepare for his christmas party that neither of us wanted (he goes way over the top. invites his friends that are all loud drunks. cooks food we don't like. keeps the whole house up partying into the early hours of the morning. makes a mess and refuses to clean up after himself. doesn't spend time with us and instead hangs out with his friends, even for family holidays and events. etc.

me and my grandmother are disabled, constantly in pain/have stomach issues, and generally just want to be left on our own for holidays, so the whole event is just awful for us)

has been up since 6* in the morning, continuing to prepare for his party so he doesn't throw a hissy fit, running on only a few hours of sleep*, running around from store to store, cleaning, cooking, decoaring, etc.

spends hours trying to wake him up.

after doing everything I am capable of skill/strength wise, I took a two hour power nap before guests come.

helps serve dinner, makes drinks, fulfills every task my father gives me to maintain the delicate peace in the household, cause my grandmother wants to murder him*.

does all of this with no complaint.

my father:

promises his full and undivided attention and help the day before the party (this is the only day he's offered the slightest help outside of making a huge dinner no one but he and his friends wanted), he then breaks this promise, does nothing, delegates every task my grandmother has given him to me, and then leaves at 6 at night to go party, ignoring the amount of cooking he needs to finish.

doesn't come home for almost 12 hours (he came home at 6am), waking me up*, sleeps till 1, leaving me and my gradnmother do 90% of the things that needed to be done today (as his guests are coming at 4).

invites more friends than he originally told us about, ditching us after dinner (which we served) to go hang out outside and blast music so loud it shakes the house.

and then complains that I "slept all day" and "did nothing" so now I need to clean the whole kitchen and all the dishes of over 15 guests, not him, the reason there's such a mess to clean.

he continues to demand this even after something he cooks, knowing I hate it and it makes me feel ill, and stinks up the whole kitchen, making me go lie down because it made me nauseous and gave me a migraine.

I then get to spend the rest of my christmas eve cleaning, doing dishes, while barely holding back tears.

thanks dad, for ruining an already awful christmas, you fucking asshole.

#he does this shit all the time #one year he forget his mothers birthday. almost forgot mothers day. and threw a party “for her” that was just excuse to trash her house wit #his friends and we were both miserable. he made us clean and serve people and made food we don't like #I'm still fucking pissed about it #he also ruined my last christmas with my grandfather before he passed. so. I have a grudge to say the fucking least. #me and my grandmother are his personal servants and we can't do anything about it if we want to know peace #cause he's a fucking piece of shit #he does this with everything. he used to make my grandmother clean up after him. now he makes me do it #please. whatever god is out there. give me the financial stability to move out and live on my own. I can't keep doing this shit #actually. god. make him move out. let me and my grandmother stay in our family home. just get him to fuck off. #he's the biggest hypocrite. do-nothing. asshole and I hate him #personal vent #fuck my dad #biggest mistake my father made in terms of raising me was not leaving. instead he just ruined every aspect of my life and made me miserable #can't even escape him as an adult

Does anyone else feel like their perception of time is completely fucked

#like every day is a YEAR #every single day 5 billion things happen and then I go to sleep #and then 5 billion more things happen #and there’s just. no time to Process #I need more Me time I think #like processing time #but not Rumination time #and those two things are more difficult to differentiate than you’d think #I want a Stable sense of self #how long does that take to get again? #I guess lots of stuff happening is better than nothing happening every #like I hate to be bored #I’m def not bored #I’m just Stressed #but it’s ok. today I got Two whole things done well #at work #and then I cleaned SO MUCH at home #I just gotta vacuum and tidy up the stuff lying around #which is gonna be tomorrow morning #I’m gonna wake up. exercise make breakfast #and then tidy up #and then go to a winery #get completely fucked up so I don’t have fo think about how I hate everyone around me #and then recover Sunday #I’m teaching next week #why did I do that to myself #and I spent today cleaning instead of lesson planning so I’m gonna have to work Sunday #Andrew is right. nothing I’m doing is that important and I need to stop working outside of work hours #but also idk I might just ignore him because I don’t want to look bad in front of my super cool students Monday #Emily also was like ‘when did u take a vacation’ and lol she’s right.

living on ur own is weird.

#delete later probably #ive been at my new place for a week now and its really #its a lot #i think im trying to still make it make sense in my head because i dont know what to do and i just keep doing things i know my mom does #like in the morning ill boil a kettle of water even though i only use a little bit of it to make coffee #but i know my mom does that every morning #or i made a pot of tea the other day before bed because my mom always drinks tea before bed #and like i never drink tea but ive been drinking it more because i know thats what my parents do at home #im starting to understand the sort of boring but romanticized idea of cleaning a countertop or doing the dishes or chores that i would #normally do but hate? but now im starting to see why people tolerate it #im finding home in tasks that share a commonality #if i boil a kettle of water then maybe it wont feel so much like a different place #ill wake up and not be surprised im in a different place but ill be surprised that im awake and its morning and i didnt wake up or nothing #woke me up or that theres no noise in the background #its not disorienting its just. different? #it's still different and i dont know when its going to stop feeling different

Today I'm thinking about how much better Inglourious Basterds would've been if Zoller wasn't there

#nothing against Daniel Brühl he's a cool guy I just think his character brings absolutely nothing to the story #go girl give us nothing not a cent #he's not an effective antagonist bc the film already has Landa #he's not a protagonist in any sense #he's not a love interest. Shosanna doesn't love him she loves Marcel. He doesn't progress her storyline #instead he repeatedly hinders and interrupts it #every time a scene with her starts he has to jump in and avert her parts of the film from her #if he had stayed a rumor and a topic of conversation NOTHING would have been different in the film #except Shosanna would actually live to see her plan unfolding #there is no narrative value to a character who can be comfortably taken out of a story and nothing would be different #but even outside of a plot #Zoller simply does not hold up as a character of any value #I hate his presence in the film because he's a walking Clean Wehrmacht myth #and the way Tarantino talks about him and his biggest crime being 'loving Shosanna' and not being a nazi and bestie with Goebbels is #concerning #disgusting to be precise #inglourious basterds #frederick zoller

Your position on redemption stories is well documented. But how do you feel about stories where a character is offered redemption and rejects it?

I can't think of one that's like.. notable? It's so commonplace in thriller, adventure, and high fantasy that it's basically a ticky box. I would hazard a guess more superhero movies (and comics) have such a moment than don't. It's paint by numbers and it's the most boring option. It's also usually the reactionary option.

To introduce a redemption arc and then subvert it by having the character explicitly, wilfully shoot it down while going on to be evil forever is most often done in a way that is intentionally shitting on the entire concept of redemption being possible. There are certainly exceptions, but those are mostly found in formal tragedy and are basically never about commitment to evil. Genuine rejection of goodness per se will always result in a flat character.

'Haha, you fool, I just love being evil!' is never an interesting answer to the question posed by a redemption narrative.

#it's just so boring #reactionary and boring #like yeah we really need to make sure the 'tee hee silly rabbit compassion is a weakness to be exploited' message is repeated CONSTANTLY #'how stupid of the hero to treat the villain like a human being and consider anything other than violence as a solution to anything' #I appreciate the hoary trope of the starry eyed idealist hero who's just gotta try to get through to Evil McEvilface #but most pop culture depictions of it are hacky and thoughtless #shit like Reypatine the Herobot telling Palpatine she doesn't hate him #like fuck off #they did literally nothing to earn that whatsoever #I am literally always down for a hero who does not want to kill the villain but there's a reason the usual execution gets mocked so often #where Captain Hero has been mowing down mooks the whole movie and then can't kill Evil von Hitler or he will be just like him #and then you get a Disney Death where the villain dies of hubris to keep the Hero's hands clean #or the mildly sympathetic villain the hero tries to save and then he betrays him and the hero accidentally kills him self defence etc. #whatever it's just always the most boring choice and it is a choice made by cowards #I mean there's Trigun but in Trigun it is compelling and interesting because Vash /will never give up/ on Knives and he will never kill him #Vash has achieved moral victory and it's left as a question of whether Knives will allow himself to desire healing #he won't be conquered but Vash isn't interested in conquering him #there's hope and tension and triumph in it #Vash's arc is resolved even though outside circumstances haven't really changed #but Trigun is brave and good throughout the ending is not copping out or compromising anything #context makes it meaningful in a way this scenario almost never is

It has been sitting at this level of loaded for ages now

Mocking me

#The Sims #The Sims 2 #Which is better than what it was doing before which was crashing as soon as it was this far loaded #This is the computer equivalent of a cat sitting on your lap so you can't get up #To answer my previous question: No the Sims 2 is not a super lightweight program #Decently lightweight but it does still need the proprietary launcher #Otherwise it's just like ''This is a weird file what do I do with it'' #I removed all the mods 'cause I thought that was what was tripping it up but the longer it goes on the more I think it's just stuck #Not crashing but not loading either #I'll probably have to wipe it and try a clean install from the ground up >:P #I hate having to spend more time and space but it's either that or nothing #I want my blorbos!

what is your least favorite jack misinterpretation

I think nothing boils my blood more then people who straight up ignore the fact Jack fucked up a LOT or say that his actions in the pre sequel were at all justified.

It's easy to look past some of thing things he did, but even in the pre sequel Jack was very much already on his set path. The game isn't even secretive of that. He'd gone behind his Boss's back, hiring the vault hunters despite only being a programmer.

People will say that what Moxxi did to him justifies Jack's anger + tantrum but it doesn't? Yes, she blew up the Eye of Helios, which was a thing Jack very obviously appreciated. He also wanted to use said thing to blow up Pandora. He states this clearly. This isn't something he wants after Moxxi confronts him and tells him how she'd been working behind his back.

While Jack arguably can have the right to be upset (used very loosely because again, he wanted to murder an *entire* planet), it doesn't mean he can break his surroundings and act like a toddler. That's not how a well adjusted grown man deals with something upsetting him.

Also. In the same game, when he's worried about a mole, and sends those scientists out the airlock? There was no reason for that. Jack exclaims he likes that! He exclaims he likes killing the merrif.

I don't understand how people look at the pre sequel and say that Jack was good in it, or that later events in that game turned him bad. He was *always* bad, because that's his character.

You can see "early" glimpses of this in the 3rd game during the mission looking into Angel's childhood. No good man would lock up his own daughter. Angel was a scared, confused child. She wasn't responsible for hurting her mother.

And the way Jack responds to that? While understandable and a shock response, how he is after proves again that he in no way has been "good" from the start and then changed. He should have consoled Angel, not force her into a cage.

People really get Jack's path entirely wrong and when people try to use the pre sequel to prove their point it annoys me so much. Did you actually play the game? Did you listen to ANYTHING Jack said or did? What version did you play that I missed where Jack is ever a hero?

#There are tons more little things I HATE but god nothing does it quicker then 'well actually Jack was...' like no he wasn't #Elias answers #Like jokingly? So fun to say hes a hero but he's not. He's a murderer. He wanted to rage genocide on an entire planet and wipe it clean. By #any means necessary. He abused his own daughter and *heavily* abused his body double. Still your hero? Does a hero make his body double pla #y him in sex movies? Does he shoot a lady dead to match her husband? Is that your definition of a hero? #also saying it here in tags I get the hotness factor trust me. He is not fucking ripped. He doesn't have an 8 pack #anyway all in all? How the fuck do some people play the pre sequel and just miss eveything huh??? #it really feels like some fans take liking him (and therefore needing to defend him) to the extreme when like... you can still like him an #d be aware of his infractions you know??
