disabled people don’t have places to sit/rest in public >> disability activists advocate for public seating >> on rare occasion it gets approved >> abled people take advantage and use up all the seating >> abled people refuse to give up seating for disabled people who advocated for it & need it most >> disabled people still have no place to rest and remain isolated from general public. rinse & repeat

#ableism #not sure if this universal but i definitely noticed it more at college #the available seating is scattered and minimal and where it is existent it gets hoarded by people who do not need it nearly as much #not saying abled people don’t deserve places to rest but like it’d be nice if there was some left for us

also idc I love the citadel and all its wizard hubris I love the intersection of innovation and horror and progress and crushing others underfoot AND also clothes that magically put them on themselves and Citadel Made bouncy balls and secret societies and universities!!! and espresso and arcane discovery and and and

#worlds beyond number #yes citadel bad ALSO you cannot condemn the citadel wholeheartedly without understanding #that we are the citadel #(if you live in the 'west') #and I adore the depth of the depiction of wealth and excess but also knowledge and curiousity #the citadel is not the gatsby mansion. it is any college in the US #it is my university giving out free food and trinkets for no reason other than it is a wednesday #and there is beauty and joy in the science I study I try to understand and the resources available #AND there is abject horror in what has been crushed for millions of people to have this #and I am OBSESSED I love it as a setting in all its brutal honesty #wbn #anyway

CT:OS Update #6 is fully available for early-release folks!

Pt. 1 and Pt. 2 of the update (Early Release) are out for ko-fi supporters (link)

Thank you so much for supporting the game and playing :) I am so excited to share this with you guys!

Summary

Pt. 1 (released a week ago)

Attend your first photography club meeting and potentially… have a moment with G in the dark room [smooching may be involved!😘] (achievement up for grabs)

Hang out with D and G at a café, ☕️ and have a run-in with Felix! [it can be as tame as you want, or a little hostile.]

Play an additional (mini) challenge match—against Deepal, Jacks, Max, or Akimi.

Find out if you’re officially in the Top 6 🥇(meaning you’ll play in the singles matches during the season)!

Short Sam POV scene, after they move into college!

Pt. 2 (released 17 Apr 2023)

Chat with Max and Blake about who you want your partner to be.

Play two doubles matches—One with Tobin as your partner, against Rayyan and Jacks [Yes, you can beat Rayyan, at last!] 🎾 and another one with Rayyan as your partner against Tobin and Jacks!

Find out who your doubles partner for the season is! Rayyan, Tobin, and Emerson are all possibilities, and they will all have their cliff-hanger-y reactions to the news. No points for guessing who is… not happy 👀. [This could involve a confrontation with Rayyan, or a quiet walk with Tobin.]

Public release dates (Pt. 1 will be out 22 Apr, and Pt. 2 will be out 29 Apr—to give me some time to edit!)

Extras

Chapter banners are up! (Let me know what you think—whether you love it or hate it, as I'm still toying around with the design!)

In-game cheats have finally been coded (Do let me know if you have trouble with either of these.)

Skip matches (with a password once you’ve played the match once)

Beast mode (where every choice you make will be automatically successful!)

Earlier chapters have also been edited based on beta tester comments, and to streamline the content a little. [E.g. the mini weekend ‘dates’ with Tobin and Rayyan (to the library & on a run) have been shifted—but it’s simply a rearrangement of content so that it works better.]

Future patches

I am still working through beta-tester feedback and other edits, but wanted to get the update out to supporters first, as promised! You will see improvements to the chapter over the next week / two weeks or so.

For e.g., password functionality will be edited such that you can skip matches and pick if you won/lost (rather than have two separate passwords).

As always, feedback, messages, bug catches etc. are greatly greatly appreciated. You can send 'em here, to my Tumblr, or to the COG forum thread :) This chapter (because it's early release) is not yet beta-tested, so I will be going in to edit it further :) It'll only get better!

P.S. So sorry for the delay, I had a last-minute change of heart with some of the final scenes, but I did add some content I hadn't intended to (for this update), so I hope that makes up for it!

Love you guys!! <3

So lately I’ve been reading The Stormlight Archive and Mistborn basically at the same time (technically bouncing back and forth), and honestly, doing so while also being on Tumblr is such an experience.

I keep accidentally absorbing mild spoilers from my dashboard, and that has led to a lot of wondering “ok, how does (insert spoiler here) actually go down??” while I read.

And it’s making me VERY sus of certain characters.

(Lookin’ at you Kelsier)

#the stormlight archive #stormlight archive #mistborn #cosmere #currently reading #reading thoughts #also I’m finally getting some of the memes which is fun #I’m about a third-ish through Words of Radiance right now #and waiting for Hero of Ages to be available from my university’s library #college has been kicking my butt lately in terms of personal art productivity #but at least I still have some time and energy for books

[onionpainter]

Saw a post of yours during my last week of Art college and thought "damb is it too late to just start painting onions. He's got it all figured out why can't I be like this guy"

i dropped out of art school 10 years ago and was only really able to start painting seriously in the past 3 years, so, you know, you can paint onions too as long as u put aside time for it 🤠

#congrats on getting thru art college - that is more than i can lay claim to #the method i use is available on youtube at drawmixpaint if u are interested #its formulaic which appeals to me #asks

thinking about divorced 2BHank like

"I left you for dead."

"I got better."

and like either of them could be saying either line and it fits their dynamic regardless

#I think they were a college roommate situationship #but neither was emotionally available so it never turned into a legitimate relationship #didn't stop them from acting like they were full scale divorced after things broke off #and now it's everyone else's problem #madness combat #madcom #headcanons #hank j wimbleton #2bdamned #2bhank

gosh i love getting into arthuriana (and medievalism in general.) it's just becoming obsessed with a new obscure manuscript containing a unique form of a work, finding out it isn't digitised or available in facsimile anywhere, then moving on to the next one.

what bliss.

#arthuriana #i am vaguing about yet another manuscript #college of arms arundel 22 #my current white whale #and to a lesser extent cambridge university library Ff.3.11 #tho at least that one has a complete edition i can read #medievalism #medieval manuscripts #honestly it wouldn't be so bad if all of the university libraries in this city weren't devoid of nice microfilm collections #i'm pretty sure most of the stuff i've been disappointed at not being able to find is available in microform in many places #just not in australia really #apparently

[coachbeards]

i mean i do think abt beard having unrequited feelings for ted since college,,, but ted has always been with Michelle. So beard fills the gaps with all these relationships that never make him really happy, all these flings and girlfriends and boyfriends ,,, sometimes his partners have met ted and michelle, but a lot of the times they didn’t.

and god. GOD. the first time ted is single in 25 years???? beard chooses to find a long term partner. like the first time the man he’s harbored these feelings for is single,,,, beard isn’t. God.

#I just think so much abt the inverses of their romances #ted finds michelle and theyre together since college well into their 40s #beard bounces from relationship to relationship and prioritizes ted #but the second ted is actually somewhat available…..beard isn’t. he found jane almost immediately

Having demand avoidance in a medical setting is literally hell. Like, patient autonomy is already absolute ass. It's only made worse when doctors CONSISTENTLY tell you what to do and act like you HAVE to do it instead of consulting with you first like normal fucking people.

#also “”“”medical necessity“”“” is NOT an excuse here. #ive been to plenty of doctors that thoroughly discuss a range/timeline of treatment and explain it IN DETAIL before saying “thats what i- #-recommend“ instead of just going ”okay were gonna do this. im gonna explain the prep to you a mile a minute and if you have any follow up- #-questions im just gonna repeat part of my spiel with no clarification. and if i cant answer your questions too bad :)“ #not to mention how many doctors just force you to do things that WILL NEVER WORK #like one therapist tried forcing me to do emdr when i was only IN HER TOWN for the summer and i had no internet access when i was at college #im pretty sure emdr takes several weeks to work and i did not have that kind of time available to me. i couldnt just drop out bc of ptsd. #also the number of times ive had to decline an ESI is stupid. I've already had 2! they didn't work! i had a bad reaction to the meds! #why am i being forced to do it again? #also back surgery. i cant do that because i am a white trash rural kid and our home (which we built ourselves) CANNOT be accessible enough #for spinal surgery recovery. but i went to the surgeon and he was like “thats valid! and also surgery literally wouldnt help you so idk why- #-they sent you here.“ : l It's cool to be right all the time lol #its like. no wonder i developed medical demand avoidance after so much traumatizing and malpracticy bullshit in my life #demand avoidance #medical demand avoidance #chronic illness burnout #chronic illness #chronic pain #medical tw #ptsd #disability #medical neglect #medical trauma #vent #this might be too personal. if i do delete it ill have it rb'd on my boar-deer-whitetrashbutterfly blog first #idk i just havent really been able to find anyone else talking about this specific effect of being chronically ill/disabled.

ykw i think @mrunmione was right about the hide and seek/jim jam debate....

#it could just be me saying that bc i have only been having hide and seek and no jim jams for the last three months bc college availability #but hide and seek is slowly becoming a necessity now #oh also this post was almost gonna be 'does fanta contain caffeine' because i mistook this tab for google #it does not contain caffeine btw #anyway #bloof #g's random musings

[kaelio]

#rifling through my old books looking for other books #uh oh! back on my bullshit #I'm actually glad this book is a lot more available now #rather than me reading my xeroxed copies from the college library over and over #galehaut

hmm. next year i will learn how to be a concept and comic artist.

#rz-log #its literally so simple. balance boring college homework and learning online. why am i not using the resources available to me #i could look up videos of concept artists starting their shit. fundies homework is just homework to get me to do the boring stuff. #it tangibly has improved the way i look at art and now i just need to put in the time. need to make catgirl mecha real #i still don't know what it's going to be. but it'll be something

video games....

#mine #i love my steam deck sooooooooo much im so happy i can actually play games again like a big proper library of them #and everything #everything on steam AND emulators is available to me. do you know how many games that is! #i started a new beegee3 playthrough on the HARDEST DIFFICULTY (!) today. which is also a single-save difficulty #and im in one of the most difficult parts of the game right now (level 4) and kind of nervous lol #but at the same time im really proud of myself for learning the game to the point i feel comfortable challenging myself in it #and im happy i get to at all :D i love you video games #and sooner or later ill come back to stardew valley cause there was that big update and i have some games on my wishlist too #and its not verified yet but i might play that pomeranian making the house dirty game cause it looked cute #oh and yakuza also because my friend got two of the yakuzas for me #YAYYYYY GAMES #also kind of sad though because tomorrow i pack and sunday i go back for babys last quarter of college #and im worried about how busy its going to be with classes and job apps and then of course actually graduating #and moving out and haivng a job and stuff #when all i want is to enjoy being able to play video games again.... sig #sigh* #WHATEVER...future mes problem #oh i almost forgot...one of the best parts of the deck imo is the versatility because with games like beegee3 #you can play it in controller mode which has its pros and cons but you can also swap to computer mode #which also has its pros and cons so like. i can adjust as needed #when im just exploring or trying to loot an area etc i go controller #but when im in combat i go computer because the hotbar is REALLY helpful for decision making #its really nice to have the option to choose since no console players have that it seems #and the only pc players who can do that are the ones who have and are willing to connect controllers #and most of them dont seem to be into that #but im really glad to be able to do both #ok done yapping now

I think this is the first time in like 4 years where I haven't been either looking for housing in a panic or looking for a job in a panic. It's nice.

#Nothing exciting #I just reached out to a landlord I'm on good terms with and he had a room available #Normally it's a whole horrible process trying to find somewhere in my college town #Rent prices are rapidly inflating and there's fewer rooms to rent than there are students #Going back to tree planting for a summer job #It isn't wildlife work but it's fun and profitable #I'll be a barely-over-min-wage wildlife tech next year #Right now I want tree planting money to keep me comfortable #And the peace of living in a tent and having all my food provided for a few months lol
