#i thought it was bullshit training

[murgaliciousdefinition]

Nobody cares and I talk to myself on here but I (very very recently) got a promotion to a supervisory engineering position and I successfully defused a really bad situation at work today. Literally went from two guys yelling and swearing at each other with accusations to a quiet (if still tense) actual conversation with everyone participating. I'm so fucking jazzed, I got a huge confidence boost out of how I handled it!! I'm taking down toxic work environments one week at a time apparently.

#management #supervisor #applied leadership training #not even a koolaid drinker but damn did that training help me #i thought it was bullshit training #and now im like #i may have misjudged you too harshly

late night post but like. i always find etho's way of playing minecraft compared to doc's to be really fascinating in the context of all the shit they invent and work on. with doc, there's this constant pushing of limits + minmaxing literally everything he can. dude is calling up the hivemind doing stupidly complicated maths to perfectly pull off shit that shouldn't be possible in vanilla at all. (e.g. the tunnel bore)

vs etho, it's like he looks at every single unique property an item has, picks the most obscure one, and uses that as a base for whatever he thinks up. unlike doc, etho's farms and inventions have this focus on novelty, convenience, and innovation. you can see it pretty often in his single player world, but i always find it fascinating how he just takes that extra step back when looking at the different traits of every item in the game. it's about exploring the use of everything he can vs doc's interest focusing on pushing one singular to its limits.

#not bashing either of them btw i think it's cool in the context of what they've worked on together #this is a train of thought-type post so excuse any weird sentencing bullshit

The backlash against Frozen, which, from my observation, has cooled down (that isn't a joke, I swear-) quite a bit over the past few years, was less based on the quality of the movie itself and more on the fact that its massive success and reach really overshadowed a lot of other movies that came out prior to it and after it and was getting credited for stuff that had already been done before plenty of times, and in many cases, in those exact movies. This is why, to this day, many fans STILL refuse to give Tangled its props without trying to put Frozen down in some way. In their eyes, Tangled should have gotten the glory and accolades Frozen received, but did not, and that made them quite jealous. Overall, Frozen is far from a bad movie. It's a great movie with a great message, characters, music and does actually deserve the success and recognition it got, and some fans need to stop being so salty about it and uplift their fav movies without putting Frozen down so they get the proper appreciation they deserve as well. Although, yes, the credit this movie got for allegedly introducing themes, archetypes and tropes that had already been seen before in Disney, including movies set in a fairytale world with heroines as the protags, was undoubtedly the most annoying part about its success and is part of the reason why many tried to drag this movie and its main leads.

#disney #frozen #txt #ngl i was part of the hate train for a long time too #not as much as others tho but still i was one of these people who thought frozen was overrated af #but now i realized i was kinda full of it for that opinion #when i saw it the first time the major gripe i had with how many songs it had #but now i'm actually fine with that #idk my stance on this movie had always been a weird one #i have always contradicted myself when it came to this movie #until recently when i've finally begun to embrace it #i have always liked it and not liked it? idk. it's been weird #i do want to see thiw franchise get expanded but i'd prefer a tv series #and i think frozen ii needs a retcon ngl that movie was a whole shitshow writing wise #and the message was not as impactful i'm sorry but it's in line with the typical “the power is actually in me” bullshit #it's some selfish nonsense and is against the main theme of almost every disney movie #which is about how your dreams will come true if you have faith AND do for others. something even better will happen or you will want #something else entirely #it's about selflessness love and sacrifice whether it's romantic platonic familiar or even related to the community as a whole #but anyways that's an entirely different point #so yeah frozen isn't a terrible movie you guys. i think the anger is misplaced

so we all agree that misha is almost certainly mikhail's grandson, yes?

they're probably gonna confirm that in 2.2 update, like there's no way he isn't, there's just too much there to ignore. But what if I take this a step further. what if i went a little insane over what might just be a tiny insignificant coincidence and created the craziest bullshit ever

i don't know how to explain this one but something something honkaiverse imaginary tree and stellarons are basically just star rail's version of honkai energy, welt keeps being haunted by ghosts of his past so why not einsla next, and also this is connected to genshin lore somehow idk how exactly but it is, maybe watchmaker is the second descender or something maybe teyvat is a dreamscape like penacony is idk idegaf nothing is real anymore . TLDR einstein is misha's mom (Real and not copium)

#roach.txt #i uhh had more thoughts on the genshin piece but then i forgor. was probably gonna make a seperate post anyway so w/e #i'll remember eventually and then i can make that post and we can all be happy yayyyy #i hope this image conveys the feeling of "having a lowkey mental breakdown and spiraling out of control'' #because that's how ive felt for the past two hours and that's how i think this train of thought is best communicated #weird bullshit that seems haphazardly thrown together but actually makes way too much sense but is hard to put into words is my brand anywa #oh anyway uhhh tags #honkai star rail #honkai impact 3rd #genshin impact #lieserl albert einstein #frederica nikola tesla #misha hsr #<- really fucked up that that;s the tag.

I’ve seen posts about how MK should get to go apeshit, and I’ve made my own about how Nezha should get to go apeshit, but consider:

MK and Nezha BOTH going apeshit

At the SAME TIME

#lego monkie kid #lmk #nezha #MK #lmk nezha #lmk MK #lego monkie kid nezha #lego monkie kid MK #They’ve had enough of the universe’s bullshit and they are going to make it everyone’s problem #Whoever they’re fighting that finally makes em snap better freaking pray #Cause these two would absolutely be an unstoppable duo #It’s like that one LMK post said #“They sidelined me because they knew we would be too strong as brothers” #(I can’t remember what it said specifically but that was the general gist) #This train of thought is also what got me to realize they would be a pretty menacing villain duo if they were evil #But yeah they BOTH need to go apeshit give us that team up LMK writers PLEASE

finally have an actual job so maybe I can stop being a hermit and get officially divorced and feel sort of financially stable and possibly try dating again and get a cat ??? is that allowed? no I probably shouldn't unless I get a bigger place and can have two cats to be friends

downside is when the fuck am I supposed to draw dumb comics if I'm working for hours and hours a day? Hell and suffering on earth. maybe i should get an iPad or a whatthefuck ever and draw on the commute so I don't lose even more of my meager art skills

#personal bullshit #i have never had what is traditionally considered a Real Job #this is my first 8 to 4 type job #tbqh if i could have just done teaching assistant work without the whole grad student shit that would have been cool #but i just couldn't anymore #no one there helped me when i needed it #a super huge fuck you to all of the mandatory training i had to do re: intimate partner violence and abuse #well anyway it's fucking done and who cares if i wasted 8ish years of my only life (: #now i get to help people make babies #which is not at all what i thought i would do #but hey at least it feels meaningful #and i get to wear scrubs all the time which is nice because they're kind of shapeless and make me look slightly more masc esp with binding #wonder if i could donate oocytes #im sure as fuck not gonna use them #might be too old tho #give bad eggs #also might have too much testosterone in my system now #0 idea how that works except at some point they expect me to stop menstruating #but my dumb reproductive parts are too strong too powerful will not be stopped by some pitiful exogenous T #anyway i really need to try to sleep #and stfu #but yeah maybe i can think about moving and getting 2 cats

JEDI SURVIVOR SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT

Does anyone else think that Dagan Gera was wasted in the plot?? They had this high republic jedi come out of the woodwork and wasted him before act 3 with very little screentime (or what felt like very little screentime). 

I wish that instead of killing him in the observatory, Cal was able to maybe convince him to stop his post-200-year-nap rage for a minute and help them out, maybe after Bode steals the compass they are able to form a tentative alliance with Dagan and get him to pilot the Mantis through the abyss. 

I think Dagan is so interesting in his echoes, and theres definitely more than a few parallels to Cal in his character, so why not give Cal some hope that people can climb their way out of the dark side after fully embracing it. (RIP Cere you were the trendsetter here but you never went full sith like Dagan did). 

Also I wanted more of the whole Dagan and Santari pouring their attachment to each other into their obsession with Tanalorr. Maybe Cal and Merrin’s demonstration of a healthy relationship is what gets Dagan to calm the fuck down. 

#jedi survivor spoilers #my thoughts on Dagan gera #i wanted more of that man in the game #i know they can't have a high republic jedi running around for the greater universe plot or whatever #but he can just chill away from the rest of the galaxy on tanalorr forever #train the force users that escape there on the hidden path #with the help and suggestion of cal and merrin #remake the jedi order to be better and less corrupt and clearer in their bullshit #idk i have a lot of feelings about it #jedi survivor

in the song "a certain romance" off of arctic monkeys debut album whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not, alex turner sings the line "he thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead." on their third album humbug, the song "pretty visitors" has the lyric "what came first, the chicken or the dickhead?" there is a one album gap between these two albums (favourite worst nightmare as the middleman). two albums follow humbug with no lyrics using the word "dickhead" (suck it and see, am). following the 2014 release of am comes 2018's tranquility base hotel and casino. the song "she looks like fun" features many silly lyrics that harbour much deeper meaning. it also has the line "there's no limit to the length of the dickheads we can be." their first, third, and sixth albums each feature the word "dickhead" (or in its plural form) in one of its songs. there is a one album gap between the first use on a certain romance and pretty visitors, and a two album gap between pretty visitors and she looks like fun. this stands for reason that on arctic monkeys tenth album, after a three album gap that includes last year's the car, alex turner will once again sing a line about someone, or himself, being a dickhead. if the pattern continues, after album ten and a five album gap, the word "dickhead" would once again be featured on an arctic monkeys record. in this essay, I will explain--

Forever crazy to me when people write characters who have canonically (or semi-canonically in Legends) struggled with the Dark side brush Anakin off as a lost cause. Obviously in order to return to the Light you have to want to, I do get that and the characters are likely going to know that, too. But it's just so disingenuous to me when people have these characters be unforgiving and skeptical, ignoring that character's past and experiences. I'm not sure if it's just a lack of knowledge of the characters in question or if they just like using characters as Anti-Anakin/Vader mouthpieces but it really takes me out of a story.

#ngl this is mostly about quinlan vos but like idk! the jedi are about forgiveness! #and doing better! #and i want to clarify like i get that vader is constantly choosing not to repent until luke i understand that #and i get to an extent that by the ot some of the remaining jedi like yoda have lost faith that he could return #but i read a fic where quinlan was warning obiwan OFF OF LUKE??? WHO IS A KID??? #bc 'they had no clue anakin would fall either' LIKE NO WHY WOULD QUINLAN #QUINLAN!!! #WHO WAS CREATED IN AND FOR LEGENDS! #WHO FAMOUSLY NEARLY LOST HIMSELF TO THE DARK SIDE WHILE UNDERCOVER! #WHOS FAMILY TRIED TO ASSASSINATE HIM AT AGE 6 #JUDGE LUKE FOR HIS FATHERS CRIMES? #AND THEN ACT LIKE ANAKIN WAS ALWAYS DESTINED FOR DARKNESS? #ill admit i havent read the 'canon' book that he is in yet maybe he said some bullshit in that that led people to follow this train #of thought but like hm #feels bad scoob #i think if it had just been quinlan saying something shitty about anakin it wouldnt have bothered me as much #even tho i hate the fanon that anakin hates quinlan/quinlan doesnt like anakin #but like... LUKE??? #thats not my quinlan THATS NOT #fandom wank #comm chatter #wow that was a long rant in the tags sigjirgs #the fic was so good otherwise too

do you think any of the ponies who witnessed equestria break apart and show the other dimension in the friendship games went home and thought about that. do you think there's this big conspiracy that another human dimension exists among the witnesses. do you think they lay awake at night wondering what their humansona would look like. did lyra see that. do you think she went home to her girlfriend bonbon and went "SEE I TOLD YOU THEY'RE REAL" and showed her these blurry polaroids of a human staring at her from a crack in time and space. do you think celestia has to calm everypony down and tell them it's not real despite the fact she has the mirror in her castle and fucking knows its real. do you think a bunch of ponies would storm the castle and demand to see the other dimension. do you thi

WOOT WOOT last day of work before the weekend :))))

#these weeks have been dragging on and on and on and on #it isnt even about the kids it's about my coworkers #all three of my higher ups are just on some bullshit the past few months #i feel like my boss is trying to get me to quit or shes planning on firing me #she removed an hourfrom my time card for the last two weeks (illegal) and told me to reduce my hours that I work and she hired #a backup 'sub' for me and she's told me and my roommate (who I work with and who surprisingly does not act up while in public #shes the roommate who tries to poison me btw) #but anyway #she told me and my roommate that she 'doesnt know anything' about the summer program and 'hasnt even thought about that' and she doesn't #know how much staff the budget allows #meanwhile she told one of the girls who was trained under me that she 'typically only hires college students' and she sent out flyers for t #program with the kids yesterdau

No wait, please come back and talk about Ichiro and Nemu's perceived lack of sense of self that comes from confidence issues. Or not; I'm not the boss of you.

i am quite literally always down to talking about ichiro and nemu lol

i’ve been looking at it like neither ichiro nor nemu have had the opportunity to explore who they are and grow up as themselves because they really aren’t at a place to do so

for ichiro, he’s crafted himself to being the perfect big bro he thinks his brothers need. like, he’s so focused on not being anything his brother’s don’t need it took nemu unlocking buried childhood memory #896 for him to recall a food he enjoyed enough to call a fav 😭😭😭 in the tdd manga, you see a lot of ichiro’s less than savoury sides of his personality, his hotheadedness, his very brash way of speaking, and a touch of ruthlessness. it’s all facets of himself that helped drive jiro and saburo away so he buried them once he got the chance to be the ‘adult’ figure in his brother’s lives out of a fear he’d drive them away again

nemu, on the other hand, is doing great lol unfortunately, she just got brainwashed just as she was coming into herself. however, because of she views herself as weak, she’s blind to the fact she’s always stood her ground in the face of wrongdoing. her standing up to otome??? her standing up to samatoki’s brand of violence??? her not even flinching when terrorists threatened to kill her??? that strength’s always been in her character but since she had to rely on her brother (and that reliance led to fuel samatoki’s violent lifestyle), she doesn’t see that about herself and only views herself as a damsel

#vee got an ask #bingbong21 #there were a lot of angles i wanted to take for this particular train of thought lol so if it feels jumpy #that’s because the brain was supplying multiple points of interest at once and i couldn’t decide on which one to focus on lol #i can genuinely talk in circles about ichiro’s self issues lol #but this train of thought mostly came from seeing other bb stans wonder about ichiro’s personality like he feels undercooked #but ichiro’s really multifaceted and even he doesn’t know it because he’s focused on being one thing #he’s both that punk kid that’ll tell a btch their bullshit is smeared over their mouths and he’s also that very inspirational big bro #he just plays up certain aspects of himself and the big bro version has him self reliant to a fault and overly critical of himself #i think he was at his most natural self whenever he was around kuukou since kuukou wanted nothing but his company and he just got to BE #and i really hope he gets a chance to be again to rediscover and grow into himself more and learn he’s always had a lot going for him 😭😭😭 #nemu def just needed space from samatoki as much as samatoki Did Not Want That LOL #she just needed the proof she could fend for herself #and like samatoki has also been outnumbered and kidnapped himself she really shouldn’t be so hard on herself lmao #c: ichibro #c: nemu
