idk what it is abt the second kyoshi book but im slugging through it ngl

#i passed it off as me struggling to get back into reading but i tore through ella minnow pea and im glad my mom died really quickly #and while the first kyoshi book took me a second i still really liked it #book 2 in comparison feels really slow and drab and i dont really care abt her conflictin this one #i like the yun mystery but its not mentioned all that much and idk how its gonna come up #im at the bit where she just met the fire lords brother #or i think its his brother. the lookalike to the fire lord #i think its like the fantasy politics i tend to find that kinda boring as a conflict if its like the main thing #bc a lot of this book has been ppl telling kyoshi she needs to be a better leader #i feel like in comparison the conflict in book 1 was a LOT sharper and more unique of a conflict for this universe #and jianzhu was a cool ass antagonist and having him as a pov character was interesting and was fucked up and i liked it!! #but here its just kyoshi and how she needs to be like palpable to society and like since its a prequel ik she'll prevail somehow #and idk its fine ig but not nearly as interesting as ''the former avatars best friend had to take on avatar duties #and was broken by the responsibility and grief and blames himself for his death so he ends up forcing the title on a young boy #grooms him to take the role and abuses him to force his powers and then proceeds to murder him when he finds the real avatar #and thats just ONE thing that was really interesting abt the first book like kyoshi not being discovered and scorned bc shes the daughter #of a thief and an air nomad and how that formed her ideaology AND that combined w jianzhu's influence on her life #and her relationship w rangi and how ugly jianzhu's methods expand over the book AUGH #i like her and rangi in this book still but partly paranoid theyre also gonna break em up bc rangi isnt talked abt in the source #so theyll do that to ''explain'' that #idk maybe the book will pick up soon. yun come back #echoed voice

Feeling normal again

#tl;dr its less about the shape itself and more about the response #theres a level of coolness associated with the response #most people dont ever have an answer ready to go. most never thought of it before so theyll have to think it through. #if they think ur weird for asking and/or dismiss you entirely their vibes likely arent so good #many people will stop and think for a bit. and will likely give a reason WHY they picked theirs #if thats the case their vibes are p normal and youve now opened up a conversation starter congrats #possibly broke up some awkward tension by asking something so obscure and out of left field #then you have the people who had their answers READY TO GO. most of the time these people are cool as hell. #passing the vibe check with flying colors because you just gave them a reason to explain why trapezoids are underrated #or infodump abt a shape uve never heard of #OR you'll get the occasional 'what do you have a favorite shape' incredulous ask #and then you can quickly drop your own favorite shape (parallelograms my beloved) #which opens up the hidden SECOND VIBE CHECK #if they react positively to you having a shape ready to go their vibes are likely good #if they immediately think ur weird for having a favorite shape ready to go their vibes are probably not so good #its full-proof /hj #socializing is a science and i aint in STEM for nothing #<- totally neurotypical haha whaaaat im normal mhm totally normal #this is normal people things to think about

sth that always frustrates me is when people on here say things like "jewish ppl u can let go of connection to israel bc you can be at home in the countries you live in!" and someone responds with a whole essay on how antisemitism is alive and well.. bc that still accepts the original premise. you're saying yes, i agree, we would not feel a connection to the land if antisemitism didn't exist, but it does. this ignores the root misconception that makes someone say things like that, which is that they deny (or simply don't realize/understand) our connection to the land, which transcends the existence of antisemitism in the diaspora. walk into any orthodox school that doesn't even consider itself zionist, and you'll find the kids having conversations with their teachers about how to reconcile feeling comfortable in galut with the desire to properly mourn the beit hamikdash & yearn for mashiach so that we can return. this isn't metaphorical in the slightest; many of them will make aliyah whether mashiach comes or not (and it won't have anything to do with secular zionism or antisemitism). eradicating antisemitism in the diaspora would never change the fact that we are in galut. if they were smart they would actually shift the conversation to why we don't need an explicitly/exclusively jewish state in order to live safely & thrive in eretz yisrael, but they won't bc a) that would require accepting the validity of our connection to it and b) they consider it "validating settler fears" or wtvr the fuck. so instead they will continue to be totally inept at realpolitik solutions & fail to see eye to eye in conversation with jews bc they fundamentally misunderstand.. everything about us.

#or max theyll say uhm we never said ull b KICKED OUT or KILLED we think u should safely live under [nationalism but in the other direction] #it's actually very telling that if you look at activists *in* i/p who do real things instead of internet activism #the entire reason they're successful is bc they do what im talking abt here. they acknowledge the reason it's important #to both of us is not bc of antisemitism or oppression but just bc it's our homeland #also to be clear you can explain why the feeling of the need for a state is fueled by antisemitism #but 2 conflate the state w the land & say that our connection to the land can be erased or made metaphorical once antisemitism is conquered #is bs and wont get you anywhere #shoutout to that one post i saw saying yearning for eretz yisrael was always metaphorical... im So Tired #like besides being ahistorical that really only reflects the lived experience of the most assimilated among us. it's true for u maybe #but my community was absolutely not dicking around when they spoke about galut #nachi speaks #on galut #also if anybody normal wants to reblog this if u have sth to say too long for replies. lmk ill consider it

[macroglossus]

being evaluated for adhd by having one of those full psych evals that last like two hours. scared frightened etc.... last time i took it i lied extensively bc i was 13 and thought they might tell my mommy if i said i had suicidal thoughts. and i still have a habit of lying to therapists bc i'm embarrassed......... AGH idk. what if i take it and they tell me that the reason im Like This is bc im genuinely just weird and shitty and not bc im mentally ill at all. SCARED

#which is dumb bc i have been formally diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses i dont think they can just take it back right????? #this is so stupid and cliche but what if i have been faking it........ all along........ Argh. #when i was in res i was put on adderall (bc the house psych just kind of experimented w meds LMFAO) and i had to go off them after like #two weeks bc it was affecting my appetite in a way i couldnt afford at the time lmao. but i do genuinely feel like it helped during that #time.... which is why i want to go on it again!!!! but im scared theyll just be like nah and i wont be able to take any of my meds anymore #is that crazy. am i being crazy rn. idk i truly do think most of my experiences w school and like. life could be explained by adhd and #when i was a kid they thought i had it but the two meds they tried didnt work for me so they just. kind of gave up #and i was really extremely unable to do school and graduated hs w an insanely low gpa and then dropped out of community college. LMAO. not #that people w adhd cant be good in school i just couldnt make myself do homework and couldnt listen in class bc i was too busy focusing on #listening. if that makes sense #IDK. idk. i know it's become like. a trend to have adhd is the issue and everything is being attributed to having it so im worried that ive #like. accidentally fallen in w that? even though ive thought i had it for forever and everyone has been like girl do you have this. IDK!!!! #idk. idkkkk im just like. genuinely scared. it's not the end of the world if im not diagnosed obviously but that means that #im just like this for no reason at all. and there's no way of helping it bc it's just the way i am. and i actually am just shitty n lazy. #epic. which incidentally is the proper name for how fucking long these tags are my bad. if you read this far sorry for being insane 👍

[natsmagi]

My friends think I'm insane cause I keep linking them to your fem natsumugi art going WOMEN. Like listen people i just think women are very neat and the women you are are very very neat

i was looking up the comic pages of the titans tower attack where jason rips off his shirt to reveal the robin costime underneath, and i didnt manage to read it in full but something i found interesting is that tim says, "you're the red hood. you've been cleaning up gotham the easy way."

i dont have the full context for it, but i love that at least standing alone, there's an implication there that tim thinks killing criminals is effective, and he just doesnt find it challenging enough haha. like, there's a lot of other moral judgements you can make about jason's choice to murder, but instead of any of that, tim just decides to point out it's the easy way. 😂

(okay maybe tim said it in an effort to goad by saying jason's taking the easy way out, but i think it's funnier if tim said it 'cuz he doesnt actually disagree with killing and just doesnt do it cuz he follows the bat lol.)

#rei rambles #tim drake #jason: you think it's EASY?? #tim: obviously! show me your systemic reformation plans first and then we'll talk #jason: well ACTUALLY #and then jay pulls out his phone to show tim a hundred page pdf on his plans to revamp the businesses and areas surroundibg the east end #starting with clearing out the mob fronts and turning them into local business and sanctuaries and non-profits #and a budget for a new road that provides opportunity to revamp and reopen the abandobed warehouse all in an effort to create more jobs. #tim: this IS the hard way but... i think we can do it. #and then they shake hands and become business partners. #< this is my titans tower au #btw i was looking up the pages cuz i want to draw a dumb comic that makes fun of him lol. #jason's made some really cringe decisions huh. love him. you gotta be able to laugh at your blorbos 🥲 #anyways the vibes im trying to explain in this post are basically #jason: ive been killing criminals so theyll never hurt anyone again! #tim (an intellectual): so youre cleaning up gotham the EASY way huh #lmao and then #jason (a theatre kid): *dramatically rips off his shirt to reveal the robin costume* WHAT DID U SAY REPLACEMENT???

[minglana]

so basically i have to calculate some stuff to plant things and. im literally going off of what my group and i did last yr. but theres these numbers that idk where we got from. and AGAIN. i cant ask anybody. lest i embarass myself for starting this 2 days before its due date

#also idk if the numbers are like that bc like. theyre dry peas (i thought they were fresh) or what. but im doing fresh peas this yr #so i cant actually do it the same. but then my peas are out in the sun for too long. and theyll dry. and they wont be fresh anymore #also up until now i had forgotten what part of the project i wrote and actually its this part. i somehow remembered #and well. me from a yr ago did NOT explain this too well. why did we magically keep the LAI at 4 for like 2 weeks #z xarre

Is it hyperbolic to say that FF7R is made of the same brain slush that Disney Live Action remakes are? I know FF7R is technically still animated, but I mean, so was The Lion King 2019.

#shut the heck up #ff7 #disney #tag talking #watching the nibelhiem part of rebirth with the council and there were sooo many dumb choices #and like looking at the 7r project as a whole it just lacks so moment to moment vision #i know its building to some grand meta-narrative but like individual scenes are so bleh so generic action camera and mocapitis #im happy there are enough people out there who realize the majesty of prerendered backgrounds for storytelling but like squenix doesnt care #also so many scenes that were originally slow and dialogue based turned into mild action setpieces its shtuupid #or the part in the reactor where while Sephiroth has a revelation youre in a different room doing a random valve turning QTE LIKEDSGFJSHD #lord the balance of battles and narrative #people harp on the original for being dated with its late 90sness but theres so much abbrassive rule-of-coolism in 7R #more than a lot me and my friends kept screaming about sephiroths characterization like why in gods green fuck he smiled so much #and one of my friends was like 'maybe this is cloud making things up cause he wants to feel like sephy notices him' and i was likE- #OFC THEN LATE GAME THEYLL EXPLAIN THAT ALL HIS OOC FANSERVICE MANNERISMS AHVE BEEN A ROUSE THE WHOLE TIMEHDSGJF #THEY DO ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO CHARACTERIZE HIM THEY WERE JUST TORMENTING US OFC!! HSDFGJSDJ #they dont know what theyre fukcing doing with that guy he shouldnt be fucking smiling during nibelhiem #he shouldnt have even smiled when he said the 'im going to see my mother' line - AND DEFINITELY NOT DURING THE FIRE!! #he was not happy then he was estuans interis he was on a mission not sadistically torturing the townsfolk #HE WOULD NOT FUCKING do THAT

[mikoran]

every day i live in constant fear that one of my friends will find this blog. how would i even begin to explain that i post about gay people on tumblr in my spare time

#byler #the biggest give away i think would be my art style #which may or may not be why i havent shown them any of the drawings ive posted on here #only two of them that i know of even have tumblr #and i doubt either would be lurking the byler tag for any reason #but theres that slightttt chance that theyll find me and ill have to explain this all #that would be so embarrassing i think id rather jump into a bottomless pit #the fact that this is TUMBLR of all places makes it worse #if any of you are reading this uhm. do not mention this blog to me #or anyone #spare me please

[mejomonster]

on that note how would i even date if i did find anyone willing to go on a date

#rant #if like. they're gonna assume im uninterested or not moving fast enough or unavailable cause im demi and not moving at their pace #my friend once told me i either need to elaborately explain im demi to NEW people #(which i think is odd? i think a first meeting a person not necessarily ready to jump into bed is not that weird) #or i need to fuck them within 4 dates or else theyll think i dont like them *(and i think that sounds so boring #i do not like sleeping with ppl until ive developed an emotional connection a few to several months in) #like... some dedicated people will date for months before getting intimate... #but for me a person wouldnt be willing to? wtf

[brightokyolights]

Bro no joke, forgetting that not everyone hates capitalism and then having to try have a reasonable conversation with someone about buying things... *eye twitch*

#to explain we will have person A - person B and then me #so person B is asking me if its ok to buy stuff from ebay - because i am a person that tries to avoid buying from amazon etc #and im like yeah should be because its independent sellers mostly - to be fair though yall. i barely buy anything online because i hate #online shopping. i try to buy things in person instead #anyways insert person A whos like 👁👄👁 oH aRe YoU oNe Of ThOse PeOpLE ThAt DoESNt pUrCHasE frOm AmAzON #yall im sighing just thinking about this conversation omfg its so stupid #anyways queue me explaining that yeah. i try to avoid it if i can because i dont like my money going to some motherfucker who doesnt need #the money (person B pipes in that jeff bezos is on the way to becoming a trillionaire which is Not Good 🙃 . thank you B now i will go on) #A then goes on to explain all the benefits to amazon “what if you want something the next day” i ask if theres really anything you truly #need right away like that. we used to live in times where you would have to wait or find it in a shop. A says “oh but its so cool and #convenient“ and i say sure. because they have the money and grew their business of being more 'convenient' than other businesses #A says “oh but the customer service is so good. if i want a return theyll do it straight away with no questions and maybe even give me #credit too“ and im like yeah. because they can afford to do that. ”sometimes independent sellers are in there too“ ok so buy from them then #If You Must but i can guarantee you mostly dont. not to mentuon theyre probably only on there in the first place because amazon has made it #so its one of the most popular places to use instead of anywhere else #and it went on. i just stopped talking eventually because it eas one of those situations where the other person was not fucking listening to #the point i was trying to make. which is that if you really have to. ok do it whatever. i get that its a bit impossible to avoid sometimes #im not gonna sit here and pretend when ive not been able to get something anywhere else i havent got it from there. but the point is to #actually think about WHY youre buying stuff and WHO the money is going to. because websites like amazon especially have created such a trend #of overconsumption. that you just buy stuff and then buy prime because oh its so cheap and useful and comes right the next day! and you dont #consider why any of these things are true. whos getting fucked over in the process. that you are one of the people getting fucked over!!! #lord i could go on but i shant #point is. genuinely do what you want like deep down i do not care it does not affect me and i know its not so straightforward #but people who just BLATANTLY and actively SUPPORT rich people (forgot to mention A kept talking about how the whole site was smart and that #Jeff was a genius blah blah) can you sit and realise that this whole system and that FUCKING Imbecile of a man are!!¡! a problem!! #i wish i could articulate it better but im leaving it at that #good morning yall xD #le text post

whats tough about like. Having Chemistry and spending time with someone at the start of the spring semester is that valentines day is coming up and its like a make or break point with what you may or may not Be and you have to question what direction things are headed in and its a pressure just Not present in the fall semester idk. idk

#we uhhhh. kinda hit a bump in the road ...... idk. #hes. been very gentle and kind and understanding about where im coming from and so we havent talked in a couple days but just .... #god ok fuck it. we were hanging out saturday night and at some point we were going somewhere where parking sucked so i just suggested we go #in his car rather than separate bc finding parking for ONE car is a Struggle. anyways so afterwards we went back to where i parked my car #and i hahahhaaaaa was NOT leaving. it was just past midnight and so we were just hanging in his car talking for abt an hour #in there at some point i told him about that last crush and how it dragged on and he was like jesus CHRIST sia thats a lot #i was reclined in my seat and shutting my eyes listening to the music and i caught him looking at me a couple times andddddd uh #yeah basically i ended up in his lap and then we were kissing and touching and grinding for like the next hour and a half #and he asked if i wanted to go back to my place and i was like uhhhhhhhhhhhh not now so we stayed in there and just made out & talked more #and then he TOLD me. basically hes in a similar situation i was in this time last year. like a girl he liked and was talking to actually #has a bf. hes sorta in limbo and she still talks to bim and is stringing him along and playing off his hopes theyll get together for. #entertainment ig. everyone at this school is fantastic btw. jesus fucking christ. #so yeah he told me bc he said he didnt wanna hurt me or end up fucking me over and that i deserved full honesty and didnt want to get my #hopes up. which i REALLY appreciate. we talked for 8 days he got carried away once and immediately owned up. i do appreciate that #so like. he said that we can just be friends with or without benefits and i said id think about it. then at like 3 am we went home and he #check in with me to make sure i was alright since he could tell i had a LOT on my mind. i said id call him the next day and so we talked #and basically i explained the reason for my apprehensions and why i said no to hooking up (csa) and he was really understanding #and then like. i just asked him more about what was going through his head the night before & he described it as a heat of the moment thing #(which i agree it was) and like. he was genuinely concerned about me tho. idk #i told him that after i got home i had to shower for an hour scrubbyat every place he touched me and that im tired of feeling used #and he really heard me out and listened. he also asked if he hurt me and i said no but it def could have gotten to that point and i #and so he said 'im sorry for making your life at all hafrder to deal with' and i REALLY really #appreciate him being as honest as he was. so i said its cool we can be friends but i just need some space rn & he once again was really #understanding & said 'for as long as you need. just let me know whenever youre ready to just be friends again & if you need me to stay sway #from [xyz places we hung out] just let me know and if you need anything for class just feel free to reach out' #and. GOD i appreciate him. so that convo closed out on good terms. i was worried id need WEEKS but it rlly was just a few hours after that #i was ok again. traumas all about narratives and before that convo all i could see was another instance i was usee but like. #after actually talking it out all the fear around it dissipated and i can just see it for what it was: 2 friends who got carried away #but i really REALLY appreciate how hes handled this and we're both single & attracted to each other and so the question im thinking now is: #crushposting

ik there's a lot of debate about how palia is mixing heavy lore into what's supposed to be a relaxing, coxy life sim but also like,,, i feel like the way they're doing it now is literally fine?

the lore is definitely part of the world and the quests, but there's literally no in game timer or consequences. nothing bad happens if a player doesn't want to complete the temple bundles or skips lore dialogue or puts certain quests on the back burner (and you can choose to not see certain quests on the main ui so there's no stress there either). like,, i get that the lore Is heavy and that some people don't want that in their cute farming sim but again, there's literally nothing forcing players to interact with or care about it. i genuinely do not see the issue??

#like?? im not trying to be mean #if anyone has insight on this and could explain Why its such a big deal thatd be nice! #but i really just dont get it? #like who cares if the cozy life sim game has a dark lore when you arent forced to care about it at all #completing the temples literally just gives you some resources and rewards #there's zero consequences for not finishing the lore quests or the temples #and like maybe im wrong but i seriously doubt the devs are going to add monster fighting mechanics in the future #like Maybe but i really doubt it #and even if they do its probably just going to be like hunting? #idk man like i keep seeing discourse about the lore being too much for the game and its like.. #you dont have to care? youre not forced to interact with it? there is zero consequence if all you do is farm and fish? #so whyyy are people upset or worried about the future state of the game?? #if they meant it to be an intense gory action fighting horror game then it wouldve been like that from the start #like im sorry but theyre not going to add something like that to a game theyve always marketed as a cozy life sim/mmo 😭 #if theres a high demand for it maybe theyll make a second game or create content like a fucking webtoon aldhg #but theyre most likely not going to introduce it to the core game #like i feel like this fear is really unfounded? the devs havent said anything about changing the tone of the game? #theyve always stated that no matter what happens with the lore they want the game to be a safe and comforting space for players #so Why would they add gore or horror or force players to interact with the lore #what!!
