#honestly this bugs me a bit

[wheelofmeta]

As much as I love certain details of Wheel of Time and it's use of some fantasy tropes, I do have to sigh over the use of two specific tropes that we can really blame on Tolkien and should probably either not been used or better explained what was going on.

Namely a) creation of a made up language and b) the Special Old Blood.

Firstly with the created languages, almost no one does it as well as Tolkien did, which is completely understandable since the man was a legitimate linguist and honestly at times the Lord of the Rings and it's related books can feel like 'did you create these languages for the world, or did you create the world as an excuse to create your own languages?' We can get a sense of how languages can change, the amount of languages that are around, etc though from what he did. We see there were multiple languages. We can get a sense of how things shifted around. We can figure out why all the languages don't have the same base, etc.

Wheel of Time doesn't have that.

Wheel of Time we've got no real explanation of how the hell we went from the Old Tongue to the modern language, or how the hell *everyone* speaks the same modern language even when it make no sense; the Seanchan should not be speaking the same language as the main continent, not with a thousand years of no contact like that. The Aiel also honestly shouldn't be primarily speaking the same language either (since they're so isolated in the Waste) or the Sharans (since again, isolated empire). Even if you use, for the Seanchan at least, the argument of 'well since the ruling class are claiming descendant from Hawkwing, they'd try to keep their language as purely close to his as possible!' it falls because. Well. Languages just shift over time no matter what. Compare even just Old Enligh versus modern. Chaucer can be an experience to read.. But Shara doesn't even have that potential excuse. We get the implication that the language is widespread in Shara even though even if you're using the excuse 'well there's trade going on between them' then really it should only be the traders who are fluent since they'd need to be. The average Sharan would have no reason to speak the same language. Same with the Aiel really; the traders should but not everyone else.

Like from a meta standpoint it makes sense since it simplifies writing. RJ this way doesn't have to justify the characters learning multiple languages to interact, just understand accents and maybe differences in slang. But it still would have been nice if at least someone pointed out how weird it is to not have any issues.

The other really big issue of use of a Tolkien-trope is the Old Blood stuff. Okay thank you for implying incest/genetic bottlenecks give special powers for real how the hell didn't the Two Rivers literally just inbreed themselves out of existence if they're intermarrying that rarely with outsiders? It's been apparently three thousand years of them pretty rarely doing it and that population has shrunk a lot since it's peak pre-Trolloc Wars (and we're never given much sign there was ever a real large bounce back) But here's also the bigger issue.

What the every loving fuck makes a difference between Old Blood versus not in the first place?

With Tolkien and the men of Gondor/Andor we actually *do* have an explanation of what's going on there. The nobility are either descended from a population that originally lived on that world's version of Atlantis (not too far from its version of Paradise/Heaven though still separate) and had been given additional special blessings by the gods, or intermarried with a literal different species (elves). It makes sense that there's a difference that gave specific abilities (longer lives most notably). There was fuckery abounding. That sort of fuckery was not abounding in the Wheel of Time's world.

It's just like...RJ implying unintentionally(?) that Incest Gives You Powers.

Where are these outside lineages that are apparently weakening the gene pools channeling ability-wise, or making it so you don't have a genetic memory of speaking Old Tongue? (Which also there why doesn't that seem to be a thing that effects the Aiel, the Old Tongue genetic memory thing?* They're literally described as being of 'ancient blood' and of all groups really should have something going on there since of everyone their the closest to being the same group as they would have been during the AoL). Hell, the Cairhein citizens are descended from the people who gave the Aiel water during the Breaking. We're not given any implications however they've got the Old Blood specialness going on even though the Aiel are literally able to identify them as being the specific descendants of that group and not anyone else even though there's what? An almost two thousand year difference or so at that point? So what is going on here beyond RJ wanting 'well there's something special here'?

Okay the answer probably is just 'Rj wanting something special here' but you get my point.

In reality it's probably just one of those 'he wanted to build out his world' and how at least with the language thing there would have been a different headscratcher otherwise of 'wait how are they still speaking the same language after three thousand years?' It just would have been nice if we got additional details (not necessarily even in the main books, but in the indexes or side notes we see) to explain a bit more what was going on there, with things like the evolution of languages or how/why everyone speaks the same language even in the present excluding accents.

*Compare how Rand needed a translator when speaking with the Finn versus Mat not needing one even pre-getting his memories (which also, interesting implications for how Brigitte makes a comment in a later book that strongly implies that *shouldn't* have been a thing in the first place, that level of understanding for Mat). Rand's described in prophecy of being 'ancient blood raised by Old'. He really should be able to do the language thing too, but then again this seems to be a thing that most strongly effects Mat versus all the other Two Rivers residents which again has interesting implications I'm going to look at in a different meta.

My housemate is moving out in January

She told us this a week or two ago, when she sat down and, after sitting with us watching TV for over an hour, said "hey so I bought a house and I'm moving out. We agreed on 2 months notice so I won't move until the end of January."

The last time she talked in the immediate terms about buying a house was in 2021, when the sale she was working on fell though and she was unemployed so it was a "when I'm back in a position to look I'll start looking again." Since then I've occasionally asked her how she's doing on the house buying front and she's been like "oh I'm getting there financially" but hasn't mentioned anything concrete.

She didn't tell us she was looking at places. She didn't tell us she had put in an offer. She told us when the offer was finalised. A week AFTER she emailed the letting agent about getting out of her part of the lease. And, it increasingly feels like, only because the letting agent's response was that we had to agree to change the lease.

The letting agent's response (which our housemate obviously didn't copy us into; we had to follow up separately and they copied us into the email chain) also includes that when we change the lease, they're empowered to change the rent, quote, "no cap". Rent was already going up in January - there's no possibility of Sam and I paying her share of the rent.

The really fucking upsetting thing is we're not strangers. This isn't a casual "housemate we found on flatshare" thing. She and Sam have lived together literally their entire adult lives. Me and her have known each other well over a decade. I lived in her and Sam's flat when I was homeless. We were the first people she came out to as trans. We're not super close but I thought we were fucking friends. And she's literally gone out of her way to not talk to us about this for what must have been months while the sale completed - which means she's lied to my face at least once cause I've asked her about her finances in that time (cause she's in a job she hates that she only took to get the house money, so it's like. when we've been commiserating about work stuff I'm often asking 'are you almost free?'). she literally went out of her way to talk to the letting agents before talking to us about putting us in a situation where we could lose our fucking home.

And she keeps. trying. to pretend nothing's happened. Every time I've seen her since then she's not mentioned anything or apologised or anything, she just keeps chatting away and offering hugs and fistbumps like nothing's happened. Like we're still fucking friends.

All it would take for us to still be friends and to be happy for her would have been one fucking sentence in the groupchat like "hey, just put an offer in on a house" or "I'm looking at properties, just so you know, that might happen in the next few months". Like nobody begrudges her for buying a house! It's very cool for her! She's 31 she's worked really hard to get the money I would love to be happy for her! Unfortunately she decided avoiding conflict is more important than giving the people she fucking LIVES WITH (who btw fronted her a month on the rent here while she was unemployed and agreed to take on a larger proportion of the move-in cost back in 2021, if we're still holding ourselves to shit we said 2.5 years ago), so no, you are not entitled to our friendship or to going back to normal.

like if she'd been honest with us it would have been something to process but we'd have had time to figure out our next steps. instead she's left us in a position where we have to find a new roommate before she gives her one month notice, which means finding someone by the end of December, which oh look that's the middle of the fucking Christmas holidays. and she didn't tell us anything until the START of December, or copy us into her conversation with the letting agent, meaning we still don't know what the rent on that space will be so we aren't yet in a position to advertise it. Has she offered to help find a roommate? Has she fuck. Has she offered to help out by moving her move-out date? Nah, she's moving as soon as she gets the keys because, quote, "that means her finances won't have to change". SOUNDS LOVELY. NOT HAVING YOUR FINANCES SUDDENLY CHANGE. I THINK THAT SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY REASONABLE FUCKING GOAL.

Thirteen fucking years she's lived with Sam. Four fucking weeks over Christmas she's left us to figure out a way to not turbofuck our living situation. And she's got the fucking nerve to try and pretend we should be interacting like nothing's changed. Jesus Christ. What a fucking unhinged way to treat...anybody, honestly. never mind the friends-your-entire-adult-life part. literally cannot imagine a scenario in which I would buy a house without telling the people I lived with.

(haha actually this is what my parents divorced over so apparently it's not unusual. although at least my dad had the decency to tell the woman he shared finances with at the point he put in an offer not the point the fucking sale went through.)

Like we'll be fine. It's a huge city centre flat with decent rent and queer housemates, hopefully even when the rent goes up it'll be an easy sell in a city with a huge housing shortage and big queer community. We've got a couple of people interested already, sight unseen - worst case scenario we have to live with someone we don't get on with. And it's given Sam and me a push to look at our own finances and as of today, we've got a mortgage decision in principle and can start looking at flats in the area - mind, we'll be transparent upfront and tell any prospective housemates that yeah, we're looking to buy and move out in the next 6-12 months, and we'll tell them if we put an offer in, because we're decent fucking people who aren't going to spring that on someone out of the blue.

But it's been I think 2 weeks and I'm so fucking angry I could spit. It's such a fucking betrayal. And frankly you know selfishly like. I just had a breakup a couple of months ago, I'm in the middle of moving jobs, both me and Sam have a history of housing instability and this has been the first decent, stable, safe, not-mouldy not-freezing home I think any of us have had, and this is so fucking triggering and upscuttling I could just start biting. like I was talking to my friend about it last week and it's just like. Can I have One Fucking Thing of the three main tentpoles of survival - home, work, relationships - that are fucking stable right now? because shit has been In Flux lately. and at least the work and relationship stuff has changed because of my decisions. going through all that work to make myself short-term unstable to gain long-term stability has been really hard and draining and then just as I was reaching the crisis point with work stuff BOOM, IT'S HOUSING INSTABILITY WITH A STEEL CHAIR. fuck. seriously fuck this and fuck her. we're going to make something good come of it but what a deeply, unbelievably shitty thing to do.

#red said #the other thing that bugs me about it is. ok and again this is old shit dredged back to 2021 when we moved in together #but i had my housemate. and Sam had her. and each of us were really close pairs who'd lived together a long time #and we tried looking for flats as a four but a) a flat with 4 good sized bedrooms in Edinburgh is hens teeth #and b) my housemate was pretty happy to live with me and Sam but increasingly felt like a 4 man flat was going to be a lot for him #and so in the end we talked about it. and through a combination of that and same housemate being in a pretty #unfavorable position housing wise. cause she was unemployed and had shit credit at that moment. #we agreed she'd move with us and Joe went and found a one bed #and in the end that's been really great for him tbh he's a lot happier and more confident and we were pretty sick of each other by then #and so we get on much better now #but at the time it was a real heartache i felt like I'd let Joe down i felt like our friendship was over #and honestly I have never been a huge fan of living with our current housemate. even before we lived here #like when i was staying with her and Sam too. she's incredibly messy and takes up a lot of space in conversations #I've always liked her as a person but she's exhausting and often unpleasant to share space with #and there's a bit of me that's like. we bent over backwards to accommodate you when you were precarious. #like it would have been WAY easier for us to look for a 2-bed during 2021. and if it was a 3-bed I'd have rather stayed with Joe. #but we moved with her for her sake. and she left Sam to clean up their old place (and there were Literal Rats) #and she got really pissy about driving the moving van even though a) that was her idea and b) she's the only person with a license #and c) i walked all MY shit over by hand anyway and the only reason she hired the van was to move her tv #me and Sam found all the core furniture. me and Sam sorted out all the viewings. me and Sam did all the planning. Sam set up all the bills. #we spotted her for rent!we took a bigger share of the costs! because we fucking cared about her and wanted her to have a fucking home! #and she can't even do us the courtesy you'd offer a fucking lodger you found on fucking gumtree

me: well, I’ve decided that I would draw whatever my heart desires for the last part of the challenge, so. what do I want to draw

me:

me: LITTOL CRITTERS

Aah, that was so nice. I love this actually. Just pay me to paint various amphibians, crustaceans, insects and other little beasties and I will be happy I think.

(Featuring my beloved little cat as well!)

And thus concludes my “photo studies without picking colours” August challenge! I redrew the picture I did at the beginning of the month and while the difference might not be the greatest (?) I do feel more confident so, yay! Good job me you did it

I really want to go back to drawing less realistic stuff tho XD

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

last year i encountered a house centipede for the first time in my life and it was a harrowing experience. scariest bug i'd ever seen. shook me up for a whole day.

today i found a small house centipede struggling to climb out of my kitchen sink, so i held out some paper towel for the lil guy to climb onto, then i released it back into my apartment, setting it free to scurry into crevices and eat other bugs for me.

and i think that's beautiful

#ray speaks #bugs #praying that the house centipedes in my apartment eat all the silverfish for me #apparently silverfish eat paper and linens so they can cause damage to books and clothes? yeah i'd much rather just have house centipedes #house centipedes are creepy-looking but im honestly starting to find them a bit cute #like yeah looking at close-up photos of them makes my skin crawl. but seeing one irl from a safe distance? cute lil thang

sucks i cant look up starfield on any social without seeing a million posts about how bad it is and how its flop is affecting the industry. like i understand the gripes and the game def isnt the huge success bethany thought it would be but god is it a crime to want to see ANY content from actual fans

#we need a fucking. tag. #starfield positive #SJDHGKJ #watch your feet #I JUST WANNA SEE PPLS CHARACTERS #AND CLIPS OF GAMEPLAY #also it does suck to see the smaller dev teams shut down in the wake of sf's flop like im not saying it doesnt #ppl just go off about how it's obvious how bad starfield is bc there's no fan content when the little there is #gets completely buried by complaints and ppl who dont even care they just love to be part of a culture war #starfield is just mass effect andromeda fandomwise and its sad #bc both games deserve better than to be scapegoats there are good ideas and extremely fun combat in both #lovable characters and interesting fun writing all let down by Too Much Traveling and a bit of jank #that honestly becomes background noise after a while esp for ppl used to bethesda titles #i play the sims 4 i can handle bugs lmao. it literally doesnt phase me #anyway i know im going on about this too much lately i just have been rlly enjoying playing the game. sorry

we're gonna do some lil headcanons since kaiya's got a new main verse <3

like cyrillo, kaiya wears a charm that protects her from the sun; this is a necklace that she wears beneath her clothes, and it's most likely one of the few things she owns from her past. also like cyrillo, she wears multiple pieces of jewelry, so it's hard to determine what might be protecting her from burning to a crisp.

because of the scales that kaiya has upon her face, neck, and chest, she claims to be half-dreki. she will never admit to anyone that she is dragonborn out of fear that she may be hunted down again, and the only exception thus far has been cyrillo bc of how close he is to her. most people accept her explanation of being half-dreki bc not much is known about them in the first place, considering they are somewhat isolationist.

kaiya is?? probably around cyrillo's age, i'm thinking, though she had been a vampire for some time before they met. she was alone during that period of time and greatly struggled with what she is. she still does at times. she doesn't think of other vampires as monsters, but it's still difficult for her to accept that she mindlessly killed someone bc of the hunger that seized her. she's afraid of becoming that way again.

i feel like i said she avoids drinking blood somewhere? but i'm retconning that and saying that she keeps herself well-nourished bc of the anxiety she feels. she very rarely drinks from people, though, and will be very reluctant to drink from even those close to her. she mainly drinks animal blood.

though kaiya falls easily for others, i think it has been on rare occasions that she's felt comfortable allowing someone else to drink her blood. she has no problem showing her affection freely and being honest about how she feels for someone, but it's a scary thought to let someone in her head to an extent. she doesn't want them burdened by her feelings of guilt and regret.

while kaiya did not grow up around nobility, her natural charm and likeable personality made it easy to acclimate to polite society. she isn't very fond of many nobles in the grand city bc many of them have agendas, but she's very good at gaining their favor and keeping them happy so that cyrillo can achieve his goals.

#the kaiya bug has bit me once more and i'm so here for it :' )))) #i honestly wanna throw her at everyone now asdfg her muse is high and i just love her so so much!! #headcanons | kaiya

Somewhere between a 6 or a 7 out of 10. The horror, characters, and humor were all very well done. But the pacing felt very off, and it doesn’t quite hit that surrealist vibe. Also, dear god the visuals. Watching this without lowering the saturation was indeed a mistake, cause I actually have a slight headache rn. Those visuals were fucking hideous I’m sorry. I really like Ena cause it manages to go for the eyestrain-y early 2000s flash game vibe while still being easy on the eyes. I love the character designs but my god I’m actually fuming over how bad the set design looks imo.

It’s still episode 1 and I’m open to seeing what the future episodes look like, particularly for the increasingly fucked up shit we’ll inevitably see. But it did not strike the same chord that MDs did for me.

Also Jax is the best fucking character bye

.

#I have nothing to major to add to this #Also like you said it is ep 1 . So with whatever time they have upon making ep 2. They’ll reflect on the errors/weird bits !!! #I was a LITTLE confused but again. Ep1 only!! So more episodes gives us a better explanation on what ever the hell is happening. #Characters were great honestly!!! Jax is a big fav . And ragatha as well #Liking kinger a lot too (bug liker /silly) #To me it was like a 8/10 . :]
