i do find the difference between jpop/kpop showcasing people who didn't necessarily have the most raw talent to begin with openly working hard to become better singers or dancers vs the western, and specifically US obsession with acting like the only real talents are the ones who were "born" with it from day dot interesting.

#this isnt a Ooh western music bad post either by the way #i do just find the way over time its gone from ever really showing any of the hard work a person put in to just pretending it was 100% #natural is very interesting #bc No... even the people with natural talent have to nurture it #whereas seeing someone who was kinda terrible to begin and actively showing them improve and being like This was bc they practiced is nice #although that def seems less of a thing as kpop gets bigger and bigger #ive seen some terrible vids of idols and its like no you put in the money to train them properly good lord #its the same way i always find the obsession with bands in the west forming “naturally” rather than being put together funny #like I get it bc some lil high school friends makin a group and becoming big is very fun and cool #but so often those groups implode and ended up hating each other #a group of musicians getting together bc they're musicians doesn't inherently make them less interesting as a group that formed on their ow

i looove how girly astarion and gale are… like i fully believe they have catty arguments where one of them runs out of rebuttals and says WELL YOU’RE FAT and the other man just gasps and rips one of his expensive blouses. when they arent arguing they have a big chaise lounge called the fainting chair and they have to take turns with it

#i just… ooh #and i love how intentional it is #with all the inverted tropes present (dramatic wizard - fancy rogue) #its nice to see it sort of transfer to gender tropes as well #like most of the men (halsin being the exception) are pretty puny and small #and seemingly very preoccupied with their appearance or their devotion/service to another character #while the women have their own goals and faiths that arent necessarily attached to one character from the get-go #agh. i love it. bless the writers and artists of this game #bg3

I’ve started to read the part of Abe no Seimei Monogatari about Douman and it lead me to realize the English translation of Heian-kyo omitted an important name for no real reason?

It’s not just “a sage”, he specifies the sage “Houdou” (法道仙人). Which is important because in Abe no Seimei Monogatari, Douman is a descendant of Ashiya Kiyofuto, who met and studied under Houdou and wrote down his teachings in a book which Douman mastered in secret. (After which he lies and claims he’s a disciple of Houdou)

I’m reading a translation into modern Japanese which also includes a ton of annotations, this is the one about Houdou, which even mentions him being from Tianzhu (=India)’s Vulture Peak. (天竺の霊鷲山)

#fgo #fate grand order #Ashiya Douman #it’s connected to Douman’s backstory how could they leave Houdou’s name out?! #thank you atlas academy for having JP fgo scripts #this book is nice it has the OG text on top and modern JP on the bottom as well as images of the original written text in the back #I keep getting sidetracked looking up stuff though like the 11 faced kannon and ichijou-ji and eki divination etc #also douman has been described as violent and arrogant and also not a very good monk lol #but his skills in divination are real! #ooh yeah 天竺 is an old name for India which I guess why they used Tianzhu

last customers i rang up yesterday were this extremely cool-looking lesbian couple and one of them asked me a rapid-fire series of questions about what books i like and what theyre about and how much time i spend reading and i got very flustered but the books i answered with were Annihilation and Monstrous Regiment. they seemed happy with my answers

#i described the premise of monstrous regiment and they said 'ooh sounds very queer' and i was like 'oh it is' #it might have been flirting and im just dense (im not sure cuz they really seemed to be an item) but either way it was a nice interaction #even if i did get nervous and trip over my words a bit haha

I think I just need to accept that when I write a story it is, at minimum, going to be like 40 or 50k

#writing things #don't get me wrong I love it I do but also when my hands are tied with one fic I cannot work on others!!! and cannot draw!!! or make amvs!! #like I can but then I have to pause my writing. which is super hard if I'm mid-chapter. gotta go in chapter bursts then do other stuff #I do adore writing longass fics because for me it's just very hard to NOT delve into interesting narrative threads even if its not the #main point of the story. its just like OOH interesting thing to put in there. yes!!!! #however. it takes a million years as a result lol #I only agonize over it because I will convince myself 'this fic will be a nice and tidy 10k' and its like girl you are lying just accept it #I should assume 40k at default and that way when I get a 10k fic or somth I will be happily surprised

#ooh I have a lot of thoughts about Six and Charley and her mysteriousness and how he responds to it #but they intersect with my Six's Mental Health Thoughts which are extremely headcanony #and I know a lot of the fandom would rather just kind of wall off Twin Dilemma and assume Six's proper characterization doesn't include it #and I don't know that I blame them for that #but I like trying to make things fit together #and also there's no way to do that without probably misusing real-world mental health terminology #because (watsonian) the doctor is an alien with an alien brain and (doylist) the writers do not know all that much about psychiatry #but. at least for a bit after his regeneration he deals with paranoia right? #like that's the term the narrative uses. (and it clearly explains his attack on peri - he's perceiving her as a threat due to delusion) #& she says 'I'm not letting a manic depressive paranoid personality like you shut me up' & he objects specifically to 'manic depressive' #later in uhhhh revelation of the daleks? he doesn't tell her about a real danger #and he says 'I didn't want to burden you with what might have been a piece of paranoid speculation on my part' #again I cannot emphasize enough how much I am talking about a fictional character with fictional problems. I do not know psychiatry either! #I do not want to mislead #but one of this character's problems is that he has a badly calibrated sense of danger. sometimes he sees things as threatening that aren't #and sometimes he overcompensates for that #and I think when he first meets Charley he is really not very sure whether he should trust the alarm bells he's hearing or not #she seems deeply suspicious! but also nice? he wants to like her? but deeply suspicious! #'or am I just being crazy?' he asks himself #and so he just kind of... keeps watching her #also unrelatedly to all that I think he kind of likes having the excuse of Mystery for doing what he does anyway which is orbiting her #just slightly obsessing over his companion at the time even if he also occasionally forgets they're there #(he's just very all or nothing in everything all the time) #but yeah. you know how 11 gets about Clara and her Mystery Plotline? 6 is like that about every companion in turn anyway #so he doesn't actually mind having the excuse of Mystery with Charley #this is also why 6 and Clara is so compelling #(this was a tag essay in response to lrb but I decided it was opening too many cans of worms and needed its own post)

im not gonna lie to yous there is one thing getting me through this job and it is a boy

#im like ooh my job isnt that bad. reason? Well. there is a boy. and he is very nice looking. and on occasion. we exchange words.

[love-is-a-pearl]

Here’s a cute PearlShipping headcanon:

The final push Ash needed in that final Thunderbolt against Leon’s Charizard was Dawn. Sure, his other friends and his Pokémon mentally pushed Ash towards victory, but he was still inches away from it. That’s when he saw Dawn in the audience. And that was the final push to that sweet Champion Trophy.

of course she was, she helped him win his battle against Cynthia in a strategical way (first time he used counter shield IN YEARS) and then helped him win against Leon in a emotional way (being there to support him til the very end). He couldnt win without Dawn, in every sense of the word💅

#|→ diving for pearls #dawn being in there in the end haunts me #both in a nice way like ooh look thats the biggest showcase of how important they are to eachother <3 #and in a bad way like WHY THE FUCK IS SHE HERE WHY DIDNT THEY TALK AFTERWARDS N SAID GOODBYE WHY COULDNT HE BE IN A SINGLE CONTEST FOR HER #but yeah #dawn being there for his biggest achievement is just #a choice. a very interesting one.

I am very much enjoying the inconsistent flood of notes from someone who is clearly going through my Seven Deadly Sins tag 🥰 I think they’ve been reblogging just about everything in there the whole afternoon

#it’s so nice to see someone enjoying the stuff i’ve collected #it’s like i’m sitting here in my nice curated cave full of nice shiny things i’ve found #and they’re just coming in and looking through that one shelf #going ‘ooh! very nice’ *magically copies it and sticks it in their bag* ‘ooh! very nice’ *magically copies and sticks in their bag* ‘ooh! v- #marijn talks #personal

okay but why

#sage speaks #ignoring the fact that they gave us a lease violation warning when we put simple lights on our balcony railing #other residents have put up very nice and very chill decorations that literally #do not impede ANYTHING or cause permanent damage #but it’s a problem now #like why not focus your attention on ooh I dont know #the two mailrooms that are out of order (one of which-the package room-has been closed for MONTHS) #and the other-the door frame is broken and you cannot enter through the main door

a super fun thing that my brain is really good at is hearing a random fact and remembering it forever. but only if it's bad :)

#the reason I'm thinking about that right now: I wish I had never read that having a crease on your earlobe means you're more likely to have #heart disease. #scared me so much that I read a whole paper about it #but it's been years now so I don't remember the details #just that that's a thing apparently #and guess what my brain does with that information? oh yeah of course I have to obsessively look at the ears of everyone now! does that #do anything helpful? nope! just makes me very very anxious :) #it's just like when I was a kid and I got nightmares about scurvy every time I didn't eat a potato for a week. #like. wow I could be so smart and everything if my brain wasn't constantly focused on random bullshit that is completely irrelevant 😭 #also this thing specifically: I've always been weirdly fascinated by ears and this made that a million times worse and also very scary. #like ooh that's a nice ear :) oh no death exists and this person is going to die and #yeah it sucks. #specifically choosing not to mention any names in this context because my god this shit is on my mind all the time already I really don't #need to say it where anyone can see #it's embarrassing enough #though anyone who has looked at my blog in the past month already knows who I'm talking about. #like. I really shouldn't allow myself to like anyone over the age of like. idk 45. #it's so unbelievably exhausting. #but annnyway I'm totally normal and fine :) #oh yeah I also have creases on my earlobes lol so that definitely added to the scariness (and THEN my mother randomly mentioned recently #that EVERYONE on her side of the family had/has heart disease. bitch WHAT the fuck. anyway so yeah guess we know what's gonna kill me #haha isn't that fun :) ) #ALSO the fact that my memory is very very bad means that I remember absolutely none of the details about shit like this. so it could very #well be completely irrelevant and harmless but i wouldn't remember that part. #and I think even if I found out more it wouldn't help. it's been an obsession for so long. I've never had one go away that I've had for #this long. so. guess I'm just fucked. #personal
