#exact score

[gumm1defloor]

Vox can understand Velvette just fine. They don't necessarily need to get along all the time, but they have a mutually beneficial contract that guarantees her support in the most efficient way possible, just how they both like it, short and strict and to the point. Vox does not understand Valentino. It drives him unimaginably, disgustingly insane. He knows how to handle him, make no mistake. Valentino is a never-ending powerhouse that wrangles out content from his employees like there's no tomorrow. He's proven himself to be Vox's most lucrative investment yet. He is resourceful, well-connected and most importantly predictable enough to rein in. Because he listens to you, because he needs you.

He is also, undeniably, out of his goddamn mind. Yet you've already invested too much in the corporate empire you've built together and there is no point turning back now that you have him so close to your side. It's OK however! He couldn't possibly be stupid enough to throw away the best partnership deal he's ever had just for the sake of something petty cause -oh, wait - he genuinely might just be that stupid and you never would've guessed because he's so cocksure of his bullshit that 80% of the time it ends up working in his favor anyway.

Fuck his life indeed. The kicker for this of course is that Valentino, genuinely does believe he has struck gold with Vox. Valentino is a clingy, possessive, immature, perverted, sadistic, egotistical man-child with severe rage issues and zero impulse control. No he is not aware of this at all. No he does not know why nobody is able to tolerate him and why every single person he gets close to hates his guts with every inch of their burning rotting souls. All he knows is that hell has now given him a flat faced prince in shining liquid crystal armour, riding on a cash filled horse with promises of power and luxury, who's practically handing him success on a silver platter. Doesn't mean that Val trusts him, doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy seeing him lose his shit. But at the end of the day vox has his back, and as long as Val keeps calling for him, he'll eventually turn up and make everything better. Cause hey if Vox hasn't left him yet for this long he must be doing something right. Right?

#for those of y'all new to the tag yes these two have been technically canon for a long while #and yes we still have no exact idea why #I am still of the opinion that Vox clocked Val first in terms of the alliance (for whatever reason known to man) #And Val still till this day has no fuckin clue how he managed to score him and is just winging shit as he goes along #this is until proven otherwise by canon ofc but still #No I do not know why I am doing a character analysis of Hazbin Hotel of all things but here we are #still sincerely curious as to where their bond came from though #yknow outside of physical attraction and shared business ideals #the only semi logical explanation I have currently is that Valentino still unapologetically thinks of himself as hot shit despite being #yknow #Valentino #which makes him the antithesis of Vox's fragile ego and blatant insecurities #(and therefor invertedly gives Vox personal gratification for being able to dominate him and control him) #The other possibility was narcissism but that theory is mostly scrapped now the more I watch his interactions with Val in ep2 #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel valentino #hazbin hotel vox #voxval #staticmoth #hazbin hotel shitposts #anyone willing to respond to please feel free to do so btw been thinking abt this pairing for quite a while #I think they work very interestingly as a villain couple #I want Valentino to light vox on fire and dance with him while they burn

I didn't take any other pics but I got this with freelance and honestly this is probably gonna be the best score I get for this season's Eggstra Work LMFAO and I refuse to grind any more!! This one was egregious

#we did 2 rounds with the same ppl and we managed to get the exact same score in a row 💀 #spawning grounds more like shitting grounds #i could absolutely get higher on rush and maybe wave 3 but i dont want to #wave 3 is so awful #etc

This is the best thing I’ve seen today😭

I appreciate Rick for being calm and collected meanwhile Sav and Joe on the other hand😭

#this is the exact energy i always imagined it would be when they’re watching a game #you’ve most certainly got sav and joe saying stuff like -Oh cOmE oN! tHaT wAsN’t a goOD cALL! #and the it immediately shifts to this whenever their team scores #anyways i need to find out where this is from #god i love these dorks❤️ #they’re my dorks though❤️ #rick allen #phil collen #vivian campbell #rick savage #joe elliott #def leppard

utube over here trying to make me jump out of my skin fr don't DO me like this

[coquelicoq]

me: how about...natori contracting some kind of youkai illness & matoba finding out about it & showing up to his set & natori dragging him off to his trailer bc it would be bad for his sparkly reputation to make the angry faces he feels coming on in front of his coworkers & matoba offering to help but in that smarmy condescending way that raises natori's hackles so he refuses but unfortunately he doesn't know how to cure it so matoba just keeps showing up every day & natori keeps carting him off to the trailer every time & being suuuuper cagey when people ask him who his visitor is & what if his coworkers get the wrong idea & matoba is fully aware of this & what if one day in the trailer natori reluctantly agrees to let matoba help him & matoba's like okay fine off with your shirt i gotta paint this spell circle on your bare chest & what if he's in the middle of doing that when they hear somebody opening the door to the trailer & obviously they don't want anyone to know what they're actually doing in there bc youkai-exorcist confidentiality so matoba's like no worries i got this & he KISSES NATORI omg classic kiss-as-misdirection trope & the person at the door is like whoops my b carry on gentlemen & after they've left natori is like wtf matoba????? & matoba's like well it's what they all thought we were doing anyway & your mouth was right there & it allowed me to cover the writing on your chest with my body & also you kiss people for a living so i figured it wouldn't be too complex for you & your part-time exorcist training to handle & natori recovers admirably quickly & is like WELL for your information that was a TERRIBLE kiss & no one is gonna buy that i professional makeout artist natori shuuichi would be swapping saliva with somebody on the reg without any of my considerable skill rubbing off on them & matoba's like so what do you propose we do about it & natori's like obviously i have to teach you how to kiss in case they come back -

the bedtime story fairy who thought this was gonna be an easy assignment: please just go to sleep im begging u have mercy ur brain cells are dying

#my other bedtime imagine also features misunderstandings in natori's trailer/dressing room but this time it's established relationship #natori and his costar are in his trailer practicing a kiss & matoba comes in & thinks natori is CHEATING 😲 #& packs up & goes back to the matoba estate & natori's calling him daily like i LITRALLY dk what i did wrong...miss u baby... #but also tell me what i did wrong u asshole!! you just left & didn't even tell me if/when you're coming back! wtf!!! #and eventually matoba comes home & they talk & natori's like mkay well first of all kissing that lady is my literal job that pays me #but i understand that it upset you bc we were alone in my trailer & looked startled to be interrupted. hey i know #why don't you come with me to set & you can see just how incredibly unsexy these practice sessions are? #so matoba accompanies him & it's literally just natori & his costar like calculating exact face tilt angles & figuring out #their precise height differential during the scene in question based on the shoes she'll be wearing & testing out ideal #degree of mouth openness & choreographing switching sides of the face to correspond to the movement of the camera #(bc obviously it's one of those epic 360-degree shots with the swelling orchestral score and w/e 🙄) #& figuring out where they should put their hands & whether it makes sense for them to be smiling at this point in their arc &c &c #& matoba starts like observing them from multiple angles & critiquing their technique & giving pointers to the costar #& grabbing natori's chin & bodily arranging his limbs like a mannequin & showing the costar the best ratio of lip give to firmness #by demonstrating with his own lips on natori's lips. & so on & so forth. meanwhile #the sleep i am forgoing in favor of having these thoughts is something i will NEVER get back. #natsume's book of friends #horrible exorcists #f #my posts #i am such a clown to watch one of the sweetest and most poignant shows i have ever seen and for what? #to get fixated on imagining ways to get these chuckleheads to smush their mouths together? unbelievable. #like these scenarios barely (if at all) have anything to do with what makes them so fascinating as characters. i just want them to Kiss #idk though i do feel like their first kiss has to be some sort of dare or 'accident' or w/e like these weirdos can't just KISS each other! #who does that! have you heard of a little thing called pride and invulnerability and plausible deniability!!!! #but i also completely imprinted on this one established relationship fic i read last year so sometimes i just skip ahead #to the kinds of misunderstandings and shenanigans and conflicting priorities they could get up to as a couple #i guess i just want the fact that natori is famous for kissing people to be Matoba Seiji's Problem in some way or another #is that so much to ask #(i also CLEARLY imprinted on a fic in which natori teaches matoba to kiss at a bar?? i should reread that one)

This video about the set design for Phantom of the Opera has me thinking about design engineering, and how it contrasts with regular engineering, and how that demonstrates the contrast in design philosophies between the Sheikah/Princess Zelda and Ganondorf himself.

The Sheikah design philosophy revolves around their spiritual idea that destiny governs everything, that everything was created with a purpose. To that end, the things they designed tended to be very pragmatic and illustrative. The Shrines themselves were designed with this ethos, each building being built for a specific purpose first and foremost. The decorations of their buildings were mostly focused on reproducing the world and cosmos in microcosm, not as something that distracts from the building’s intended purpose, but in order to explain to viewers in the know how this particular structure fits into Hylia’s Grand Design. Zelda herself is very pragmatically minded, attempting to reverse-engineer this ancient technology, or at least understand how it works well enough to reproduce it. She can be a very passionate, emotional person, but she’s not so hung up on aesthetics or trying to figure out “what it all means,” just “how does this work?” No frills, no artifice, just straightforward and to the point.

Contrast that with Ganon. After hearing a bunch of theorists describe Calamity Ganon as something akin to Puppet Ganon from Wind Waker, it clicked into place for me. Ganon is a set design engineer, rather than just a guy working in a workshop to build machines like the Royal Research Lab. His creations weren’t just built to fulfill a purpose, but to communicate something. The purpose his creations serve, while important, is secondary to that desire to communicate a concept, to produce a specific effect in his audience, even if the only thing he wanted to communicate was his contempt for Hyrule and its people.

“The Calamity” is a coup de theatre: this great big spectacle designed to produce a specific impression in the people of Hyrule. In this case, the desired impression was mass panic. Ganon purposefully obfuscated his methods in order to give the impression that “Calamity Ganon” was this vast, incomprehensible force of nature that could not be predicted or countered. Once you start seeing what he’s working with, as you start making connections between the Malice and whatever that ectoplasmic substance the Ultrahand is working with actually is, the actual mechanisms he used turn out to be relatively simple. He just relies on optical illusions and hiding his tricks in order to make things seem more vast and terrifying than they actually are, like how Bjornson used foreshortening to make the chandelier look like this perfect reproduction of the Garnier opera house’s chandelier when it was actually just a flat oval that could fit in the tiny theater and wasn’t as much of a pain for the stagehands to transport, raise, and lower as a perfect 1:1 scale reproduction would’ve been.

And then with Ganon’s takeover of the Guardian tech, he injects this design philosophy into the stuff he’s working with. A lot of what makes the Possessed Guardians so scary is the musical/sound cues associated with them, as well as their body language that suggests a cold, driven, purposeful hostility. Without that, they’re just big goofy buckets with legs. Just compare the Guardian you see in the castle flashback that’s unaccompanied by the iconic, anxiety inducing heartbeat of the “Guardian” music, being gently prodded along in a certain direction by soldiers with the Guardians you’d see patrolling Central Hyrule 100 years later. Ganon doesn’t just want an ambulatory robot that shoots lasers. He wants his war machines to intimidate, to terrify, to make their targets so scared that they freeze in fear (and coincidentally become much easier to hit). The Blights, too, were designed with this aesthetic of fear in mind. They’re also designed to suggest Ganon’s present, even if the artist himself is technically absent.

The desired effect is to establish the omnipresence and frightfulness of Ganon himself, to terrorize his targets, and to communicate his general contempt. He is concerned with the aesthetics of power, as opposed to just having impressive weapon specs. The Guardians by themselves are already potentially dangerous and destructive, as all weapons of war are, but Ganon needs to take it further, injecting his personality into each one he touches to turn them into a tool of communicating his will in addition to just weapons he tries to use to destroy Link/Zelda.

In summary, their general philosophies are like this:

The Sheikah: This is the world, this is how it works. Everything was made to serve a purpose, and this building, too, has a purpose. It was built to fit into this grand cosmic design we depict on its walls.

Ganondorf: I Want These Cretins To Pee Themselves In Terror When They Gaze Upon My Works. Let Them Hate Me, So Long As They Fear Me.

#long post #legend of zelda #loz thoughts #totk spoilers #totk thoughts #botw #totk #ganondorf #the sheikah #princess zelda #i have been listening to lingua ignota's 'caligula' again and that was one of the things that's got me thinking about #the aesthetics of power #and in particular how that factors into abuse and trauma and reactions to trauma #with regards to ganondorf and the nature of his lashing out against hyrule as implied by his japanese speech #and how lingua ignota herself depicts her response to abuse as coopting those aesthetics of power #in order to communicate her rage and grief and retake control of her own body and agency #the bombastic speech of 'butcher of the world' set against the backdrop of the sample of wendy carlos' score for clockwork orange #as opposed to the more hushed intimate 'deathdealer' that uses the exact same lyrics but communicates something more intimate #this juxtaposition of power and rage versus grief and vulnerability within the same character as they try to process their trauma #that i find really interesting

Designed a dress I want to make heavily inspired by Merida from brave and then I decided to draw it on Merida.

The original sketch:

#I've been big on costume design ever since sophomore year when I was on our play's costume team and I like to think I'm good at it #In 11th grade I got a superior at districts competition for costume design so #Unfortunately I didn't get to do it again in 12th grade #I think my into the woods antebellum Red riding Hood and my regency Rapunzel would have gotten high scores but whatevs #Oh yeah! I also gave her archery gloves. I wish I had archery gloves it would save my hands so much pain #I have money I should get some #This had got to be one of my only dress designs without a million pounds of tulle #I like tulle heavy dresses lol #Like my Cinderella from into the woods design. Or my Juliet and Clara dresses (I admit I do name the dresses I design with people names #I know a lot of people do that and I think it's better than saying 'oh that one pink dress' like babes which one #I still need to properly draw my tinkerbell dior dress design #Basically the skirt is just like that one door dress. The one that looks like it's got flower petals. But it's green #And also very tulle heavy #For this dress I was trying to figure out a way to incorporate tartan in the design and as I was looking online for teal velvet fabric I #remembered how hard it is to find that exact shade of fabric (my dad made me a merida dress when I was little and it took forever for him t #find the exact shade) and then I realized I could just use blue and green tartan (which is way easier to find they've got plenty at Joann's #And I'm pretty sure my dad already has some I could use) instead! #I want to get a few simpler sewing projects under my belt before I attempt this #But my mum suggested I make a matching dress for my dolls and like. Literally amazing idea. #I've got a tunic I need to make for a convention so that's how I'm gonna start. Like the most I've done on a sewing machine is hem so yeah #we're starting small #I design dresses all the time so I really need to learn to sew so I can make them #And this is my motivation I NEED this dress #Anyway #my posts #my art #pixar brave #I once said my favorite Disney princess was Merida and my friend said 'yeah that's what I figured' like??? Is it obvious? #anyway moving on

I’ve found someone who wants to sublease but god. God. My complex requires that ppl who sublease have a credit score of 650 and they have a credit score of 638…. I’m gonna go talk to the leasing office when I’m off on Thursday to see if I can entice them into making an exception or maybe average our scores or something since I have an 800 credit score. If they won’t I’m gonna kms 😭

#it’s a friend of a friend and they like cats and seem cool please god please please please let this work out #let it be this easy #they’re also not in a situation where they have to move at a specific time #so it’s not a big deal that my roommate hasn’t given an exact move out date yet #(he did promise one within the week tho) #this would be so nice and so perfect I’m begging that 12 points of a credit score won’t fuck this up #idk if they say no I might just have them move in anyways and pay their share of rent directly to me if they’re comfortable with that #cuz LORD I don’t wanna do the searching for a roommate on Facebook groups and Craigslist and etc if I can avoid it #kaz rambles

[coldflasher]

remember when i got that really shit quality score and was like "oh fuck"

well i had a meeting w my manager and she was like "oh don't even worry about it, it's just one bad score! but if you're struggling, we're putting more emphasis on quality than quantity this year, so if you need to take more time on your tasks then that's fine, we'd rather you slowed down and did a good job!"

and i was like "all right, cool! works for me cos i would far rather take that approach anyway"

fast forward a few weeks, we had ANOTHER meeting and she was like "your efficiency is down, you're underperforming and we need you to edit faster"

i'm like, ah. i see. the first thing you said was a trick. got it.

#like. i fixed my score but now they're mad i slowed down when they literally told me to do that #i should have seen this coming honestly #it's basically a neverending cycle of this exact shit #it used to make me cry and panic and now im like yeah whatever #see you in a month when my efficiency is great and my quality is in the bin again

[allthetropes]

there is nothing funnier than being in therapy for 4 months and then your test results to show you're even more depressed now than you were 4 months ago

#like wow im sorry i did not create the problem #in other news; i am blaming the fact that i had to return to work #there is no way that did not impact my test scores #like yES actually doing the exact thing that made me wanna claw my eyes out of my head in the first place did NOT make me feel better #not sure why the doctor thought it WOULD but go off bestie #she can hear about it at the end of the month

[lastparty]

spain down 0-3 to japan and me i dont feel so good either

#watched the japan goals they scored the exact same kind of goal three times with some insane speed and skill im obsessed #like... this match is a colonial battle but also japan the Only team to have a perfect group stage... love to see it #but yeah i think im finally crashing it is what it is

Misc daily life images

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that -- #1. COLUMBINEEEE... (I think..???) one of my favorite flowers... I managed to grow a small one in a pot last year. huzzah #2. spicy soup for lunch (another very rare lunch since I usually eat literally the same exact thing every day for my stomach #issues and stuff lol).. also made a fruit smoothie but put tapioca boba in it out of curiosity.. which was weird #3. woven cucumber shavings.. one of the many little meticulous tasks that I find oddly fun and could probably do for hours #4. A RED FOUR LEAF CLOVER!!!! There are some patches of clover in the yard that have weird red coloring and red spots on them #almost like it's some sort of damage or something but it seems natural (and I wonder if it has to do with plants that grow around them at #all since these 'green clovers but where some of them are variously spotted in red' patches happen to be next to patches of weeds/ #grouncover that also have red stems and stuff.) but so in the yard it is rare to find a red clover #and also rare to find a four leaf clover. so a RED four leaf clover is the most rare... special child.. #5. bapy son on the heating pad (featuring my stinky little toast shaped 2ds lol... i wonder if theyve been obsolete so long that maybe #3ds are actually affordable now (under $100).. hrmm...) #6. Another wii fit mingame score. I'm not sure if this is even lower than the other ones or anything. I never go back to compare them lol #if a score seems good enough to possibly be my best I just take apicture of it anyway. I should probably at some point check what #the 'best' even actually is. I wish the wii always told you ur Best score instead of just your Last score on those games. It does on every #other game but seemingly not the daily fitness check in minigame ones. hrmm.. #7. little clovery things covered in beautiful water droplets #8. sky again. of course #photo diary
