#just 5mins more

[why-the-heck-not]

20.12.23, wednesday

My main hobby is just procrastinating in any way I can. The plan was to make a cup of coffee and then start working. What actually happened is that I watched a 3 part video series (by james hoffmann ofc) on Aeropress coffee and made a few cups with different variables. Still not sure if I found The Recipe for me, but it’s getting better (tho I don’t love the coffee beans I have)

#altho i’m not sure I agree that inverted method is not worth the risks #maybe I just pour my water in too slow (bc I get nervous abt pouring too much) but there’s a fair bit of liquid that manages to get through #before I can place the vacuum on there #so I did it with inverted method #what I took from his recipe was the swirling instead of stirring and letting it rest for 30secs after to get a more even bed of coffee #I did 14g of coffee & 200g of water with a 5min brew -> swirl -> another 30seconds of letting it rest before pressing gentlyy for like 20-3 #seconds #but idk it’s a bit ’’one note’’ #which could be the beans #I have medium roast rn and I prefer light roast but the light roast beans have been no where to be found lately idk why #(there aren’t many actual light roast beans and the other ones are waay out of my budget) #(or at least good ones; there’s the one affordable light roast that’s everywhere but I don’t like it that much (but tbf should’ve still #bought that instead of these ones I got)) #like this is still way better than what the drip coffee of those beans are #and the achilles heel is that I don’t have a thermometer of any kind so my water temperature is guesswork every time #so tweaking variables is always a bit sketchy bc idk if I just had a better water temperature that time #studyblr #booklr #aesthetic #bookblr #books #study #reading #read #book #coffee #2023 #december 2023

"gar, meet vic. there's a 50-50 chance you'll kill each other."

joivan wade as victor stone & ryan potter as garfield logan in TITANS: s4 ep 10 - game over.

#DCedit #titansedit #doompatroledit #victor stone #garfield logan #cybb #ryan potter #joivan wade #gifs by me #this was lowkey agonising actually #it wouldn't have hurt them to make these two like #recognise each others' souls or whatever and just like each other straight off but they went for vic being soooo cold and closed off instea #and i just KNOW i KNOW in my heart that joivan and ryan #could play them so sweet and nerdy together. best buds #anyway tbh ryan's gar IS giving like 'i like you why dont u like me' vibes but he's not being a bitch about it haha #but he also seems like he might be just a more mature version of gar in general? wheras joivan's vic is like #clearly the baby of the group in a way that this gar isn't the baby of his titans #i say this. i haven't watched either series and i don't plan to #but that's how it came across in the whopping 5mins of screentime these boys shared (which totals everything i watched)

How to Develop Side-Characters: A Guide by My School President

I’m a sucker for great writing. And although My School President doesn’t exactly have a groundbreaking plot, it just does everything completely right! This is a show that knows its genre and embraces it. It gives us great characters with real flaws without turning them into unlikeable people---which I find refreshing, because when was the last time I watched a show and didn’t hate a single character? 

I’ve been praising this series from the get-go, but I’d like to dwell a little bit more on EP7, also known as Yo’s catfishing adventure, because it does something that not every writer does right for BLs. At least, not much on the shows I’ve seen before. 

EP7 earns itself a new opening and closing. Particularly because this is a new arc, the second half of the show per se, and we can see this change in Tinn’s unhinged flirting. 24/7. Non-stop. As if he wasn’t struggling to make eye-contact with Gun in EP3.

For the most part, we see Gun as hesitant, more reluctant. He turns down most of Tinn’s advances, and we can understand where this is coming from. After all, it’s Gun who’s subjected to this no-dating policy, not Tinn. For all we know, the only thing keeping Gun and Tinn from being official boyfriends is that stupid club rule!

So, imagine my surprise when Gun said something akin to “love hinders dreams.” 

Specifically, Gun said, “Love is a dream’s worst enemy,” to which Tinn replied with “Do dreams carry any meaning without someone thou share them with?”

And in a way, it sums up to what EP7 will be all about, because even though this exchange was fleeting, it does change things.

The question was laid before us: does one become intemperate and distracted because of love? Is the club rule necessary?

Well, apparently, Gun thinks so. That’s why he doesn’t cross the line with Tinn in EP6, that’s why we see him barely giving Tinn the same enthusiasm since the episode began, and that’s why he doesn’t even try suggesting that maybe the rule is kinda stupid---maybe it’s so irrelevant---because he truly believes that that’s not the case at all. And we see him struggle through this turmoil.

The ambiguity of their relationship probably bothers him too. Although Tinn is utterly in love with him and literally made it his mission to remind Gun of the fact every second, Gun still easily gets jealous. More on that later. 

Yo.

This stupid little bean catfished Nook with Tinn’s picture. Unfortunately, this does happen in real life and it’s not flattering at all. However, Yo does a fairly good job at making us understand why he did that, and he also got a well-deserved slap (with two nipple attacks from Gun) and did that cute dance number with his BFFs to make it up to Nook. It doesn’t justify his actions, but he makes it easier to forgive him. 

Somehow, Yo and Gun are stuck in the same predicament here. Except, Gun is living his E2L while Yo is suffering from his star-crossed lovers trope. Nevertheless, both seeing someone in secret. 

Yo managed to alter the rule for just a small time, but that’s more impact than Gun and Tinn on that freaking rule since EP1! And this really gave Gun an epiphany that not only developed his character, but also developed the relationship he has with Tinn. 

“Though the rule still remains, something has changed. I think love is not always bad. Maybe it will encourage Yo to practice harder. Maybe it can help me sing love songs better.”

Gun realized now that love is never the enemy. He realized now that love is why he can do music the way he does. I wonder how terrifying must it be to just have it all come crashing to him like that? 

He asks Tinn if hitting on him was dull, that if he’d rather just court someone else, and these are realistic worries that he probably already had from the beginning. The difference now is the catalyst of these questions: he now knows that Tinn possibly means so much more to him than he expected. 

He is no longer angry at, or even afraid of, love getting in between his dream.

But going back to what I mentioned earlier, the ambiguous labels is still frustrating him, and he doesn’t want Tinn to get tired of waiting. No, scratch that. He doesn't want Tinn to wait for too long.

So, he crossed the line. 

I’m dedicating so many words to this because I really, really love how MSP writers managed to develop Yo’s character in a way that also develops Tinn and Gun’s characters. If they failed to do this right, this could have easily been seen as a filler episode, but everything was necessary for the story. 

It was necessary for Tinn and Gun. 

Can we also talk about the Chinzhilla members being the greatest friends ever?

They unanimously scratched the rule for a friend, and not only that..

Did all of this?! Tiw and Tinn too for always being there for them whenever they need support??

I'm realising that my chronic pain doesn't really stop me from doing things as often as I thought, at least with how my life has been going lately. What stops me from doing pretty much anything is the horrific dizziness and chest pain I get from doing any kind of activity for more than a couple minutes. I've tried explaining this to doctors, but since cardiology won't see me and whatever tests they do are "within normal ranges", it never goes anywhere.

Standing, walking, or literally any upright activity makes me so lightheaded and disoriented that I don't feel safe doing those things. I haven't had any falls yet, but that's because I try very very hard to prevent them. I've had many MANY close calls. It is terrifying.

I don't really know what to do about it.

#it usually happens on stairs and in the shower. which is great (super dangerous). #but like literally if i am upright for more than 5mins i feel like SHIT. #it is so scary. #i get so disoriented and dizzy and my vision goes dark and my limbs go tingly and its just horrible. #and yet. nobody can help me with it ._. #trying not to spiral over this. i am being so brave. im also going to bed super early because i am so. tired. #batty blogging #text

I didn’t like the conclusion of the villain arc but not in a “this is bad” way but because I just no longer cared about Paulo’s whole story arc. You set him up to become a villain for so long it gets boring and then when he does become a villain he gets disarmed comically easily and finally believes in the power of friendship. Like there’s nothing objectively wrong with it but it’s just so damn boring

#Pokemon masters #and there’s the fact that Giovanni’s *still* planning something which just makes the conclusion feel hollow bc nothing truly changed #i would have liked it a bit better if Paulo actually got to be a villain for more than 5mins and face the protag #my expectations were low but I’m still somehow disappointed #random personal rant #lights plays pokemon masters

#let me express to u perhaps The frustration of my life #i like to learn. it is perhaps my favorite thing. new information. more more more constantly #but. my fucking brain is the fucking worst. because im not fucking stupid if i can focus and process the words being said i can understand #many things. i like to learn about math and physics and chemistry and biology and anatomy... ect concepts #but the focus and the processing of words is where we have problems. because i cannot focus for more than like 5min #i blink and suddenly ive been spaced out for a sec and need to reorient. i cant prioritize what to do 1st and im constantly bouncing betwee #tasks so nothing ever gets done and im too intimidated to start learning things. and when im trying to learn we habe the processing words #problem. like my reading comprehension is so fucking bad. like i will read a book on paper and maybe retain 25% of the info if im not #hardcore trying. for a class where i had to do a ton of paper reading. i had to read everything out loud to myself. highlight important #info. write myself a summary based on the highlights and then read the paper again before i could even begin to feel comfortable in #discussions. it was so fucking frustrating and miserable. ppl will give me physical books and im like thanks i cant fucking read sorry #too fucking dyslexic. read and listen they say. u have to read and listen at the same time bc i cant pay attention and i cant read #so if i do both then maybe the info gets in. thats y i have to read aloud but i hate it and still get distracted #i mean. i probably just have an attention problem. its also really annoying that my short term working memory is so awful #bc in order to make things make sense i have to draw or write them out. i cant judt go off the top of my head or i get stuck saying thr sam #thing over and over and over. its like my ability to think is extremely shallow. but thrn i read papers and recognize concepts from classes #i took years ago and im like. fucking y cant i know what i know? my head feels so empty but info is in there somewhere #its just so fucking frustrating that i love understanding systems so much. complex annoying little systems that fit together like a puzzle #and my fucking brain refuses to accept the information im trying to get in there. so i return to a remark left on my dyslexia assignment: #intelligent when not constrained by language or time. thanks. unfortunately language is how ppl communicate #also i freak out under time pressure lol. anyway ive just been reading papers for fun this weekend and remembering y i dont: bc its agony #but also i fucking love the concepts so much and i need a good understanding of photosynthesis before August when i join a photosynthesis #lab lmao. ugh. i love learning but my brain was not buildmt #built for it. if only if only someone could podcast about the obscure things im interested in while reading directly from the source #unrelated #also its like 105 degrees plus. its too fucking hot out #thats like 40 degrees C. the sun is like a death ray

[neuxue]

congratulations to the one (1) person with a modicum of self-awareness in the notes of this post

#when a post escapes containment and instead of salty or spicy notes you just get the most fucking inane response over and over #the sheer number of 'op would love me' variations i have seen #spoiler alert: no op would not #(i don't mind the blorbo tags those are fine keep 'em coming) #anyway i have not been on tumblr for more than 5min total in the last few weeks so #skimming my activity page has been fun #but this one made me laugh

[youngestdaughtersyndrome]

your ghost (queue) keeps tricking into thinking you're back...

hehehe ...... only sometimes

#i cant lie i do occasionally peek in my notifs just so they arent crazy when i officially get back but never for more than like 5mins <3 #this is my five mins btw. hehehe #eden! #hollyws #asks

[md-guel]

ok but no. pls post your tired takes where i can see them because i love using the block button and you're indulging me 🫶🏽

#for the record i love guel and i will defend him to the bitterest end #but i don't think he is or that he will be or that he should/have been the main character #like there's a reason why the poster child of mobile suit gundam witch from mercury is called suletta mercury and not guel mercury #or that the show isn't called witch from jeturk #which would actually make for a hilarious parody but whatever #i feel like this whole jesusifying of guel jeturk is like the side character trope but make it straight white and male #like you know how a lot of times the side characters become more popular and beloved by the fans over the main characters #even tho they only have 5min to their name #i feel like it's like that but worse and stinkier #anyway yeah i just blocked someone over the stupidest reading on g witch and bro im stunned that a person like them watches the show

[cakesdown]

i have to become the ceo of kimblee because 90% of his subfandom makes me clutch my pearls and scream in fear. literally i only trust my f/ma friends with him. unfortunately im too lazy to put in the work cant i just telepathically project it

#like man i have obscure s/i characters that are pretty fucked up/flawed but kim just has The Worst #like in general a big chunk of the f/ma fandom has shockingly low media literacy while thinking theyre big brain #ACTUALLY let me rephrase that. the vocal majority that i have personally come across. #that sounds so mean but listen i have seen the worst takes on historical theory regarding these characters. #i have seen the most repulsive ship decisions out of any fandom ive ever glanced at. #it's scary over there. it's frightening. #which makes it 10x more funny that i get aggro'd when i do post abt kim #im being normal and quiet in my corner LOL #s/i as in special interest btw. i forgot it has two diff meanings for a sec #sorry i thought about him for more than 5min cause imw riting a fic so i have brainrot for the next 2-4 business days

I can’t analyse shit but it just crossed my mind that Gu took like 3-4mths before he decided to meet up with Mijeong. He went back to Sanpo late autumn and got mijeong’s new number then. But we see him still moping in his house. And we got scenes from when it was snowing but they’re alone deep in thoughts. And when Gu finally called, it looks like the beginning of spring.

Spring is all about new beginnings, a fresh start. So there’s hope regardless of the upcoming angst that they will want to throw in the last 2 eps, they will still be together, happily and have babies if possible. Mijeong carrying a year old gumijeong jr. cos she aint the basic stroller mum yeahhhh

#my liberation notes #a break btw my meetings and look at what im thinking #probably analysed before by someone else who is more eloquent #but i am just spitting out thoughts lolol #i should work on the requests aftr work hahah sorry peeps for the delay #cant seem to think anything else since the last 5mins of ep 14
