#task and purpose

[theshadowrealmitself]

Just a reminder to anyone with kids, your small children do not have the same basis for things that you do! There’s a good chance they aren’t trying to be rebellious, they just simply have no idea what you’re telling them!!

When I was small, I used to get in trouble all the time for not “walking in the crosswalk”, I had no fucking idea what a crosswalk was, the lines on the ground didn’t stick out at me, and when I tried to walk right by the adults because surely being right next to them would be the right answer, it put me outside the lines and just upset them further (also going nonverbal when stressed and having a face that doesn’t properly show emotion didn’t help me out)

If you tell your kid to do something that seems really easy to do to you, and they don’t listen, try phrasing it in a different way, instead of “walk in the crosswalk”, try pointing out the two lines on the ground, and let them know to walk in between those lines!

(Separate from the crosswalk thing, but also sometimes if it seems like your kid is being rebellious for “no reason” and they have older siblings, just,, make sure their siblings didn’t prank them by giving them false information)

#I saw someone else’s post about how they just realized that their kid wouldn’t know a task because it seemed so simple to them #and it seemed like a personal post so I didn’t wanna reblog it if they didn’t mean for it to just be reblogged #so instead I’m sharing one of my experiences as kid #remember!! they aren’t born with any knowledge like that!! #no fandom #and they definitely aren’t born like. evil out of the womb just purposely trying to make your life harder #they’re kids #they don’t understand

Any new offering from ii is an experience, but to have the summoning solo recorded professionally up close with all the details is a religious experience

#you don't understand #i NEED to record the solo every time i hear this #it's my main task for each and every ritual i attend #the wembely one got interrupted by a motherfucking crowdsurfer and i have never been closer to commiting an actual murder #(for legal purposes this is a joke) #so seeing and hearing it in HD is my nirvana #worshitposting #sleep token

Into the confessionary a little spider walked

Mind not quite there

Quite lost

Memories scrambled around, confused

Pain flaring up, things that shouldn't have been said out

Siblings falling apart

Guilt over forgotten acts

This episode, and the topic of rage and anger is oddly topical for me today. Specifically, another fellow student and I discussed our ADHD, and how we both, independently, sometimes trigger anger/rage on purpose to help us finish tasks. How, whilst we both don't like being angry and the loss of control that sometimes follows, it's an incredibly motivating emotion that's really useful sometimes. Especially in academic settings, when you have to sit down and write yet your brain refuses to do it. We both have done the same thing; engaged in an environment that will purposefully trigger a rage so we can be productive. Anger and rage, when utilised productively, can be an incredible motivator.

And to bring this over to Junior Year, I find Porter's speech to Gorgug in this episode (Vulture Clash) to be true. It rang incredibly true for me. Rage feels good, sometimes, but it's an incredibly useful emotion in certain situations. Yes, it can be a detriment in some, but others? It can be productive, helpful, motivating. It's also why, I think, we see such a shift in Porter's attitude as well; he was pushing Gorgug. Specifically, attempting to make Gorgug stand up for himself. The first scene in Freshman Year that occurs on campus grounds is of Gorgug being mistreated, and apologising for standing up for himself. Gorgug has a habit of trivialising the harm done to him, and of never protecting himself. By consistently attempting to needle Gorgug, Porter was - in a rather fucked up way, admittedly - attempting to challenge that part of Gorgug, to get him to fight back.

Porter, whilst being a Barbarian and loving his rage, also seems to understand what that emotions truly means. He's a multiclass! He has spells, he has things that would clash with rage! So, to hear him speak of rage as a tool, as something that can be good, when aimed at a target, it makes sense. Especially when he finally gets Gorgug to admit why he's uncomfortable with his rage.

As someone who has struggled with anger and rage their whole life, I find myself often uncomfortable with it. I see so much of myself in Gorgug and his relationship with anger, which makes this episode so important to me. Especially when I had a conversation about rage and its utility mere hours earlier. Gorgug was scared of his anger, specifically what he lost by giving into it. By being in a rage, Gorgug can't cast spells, can't help his friends protect themselves with magic or gadgets. He would only be able to protect them with his body, which has failed him before. He couldn't find the usefulness of rage, until he did. Until he was pushed into anger through the events that happened at the Fair, until he let himself be angry about Porter's treatment of him. And then, he's told that it's okay to be angry, that it's okay for him to be angry at the way he's treated. It's okay for him to be angry. Anger can be useful, but also, sometimes it's nice to be angry.

However, anger should not be your only emotion. Porter signed the MCAT, which was not only a promise he made, but I believe also a reminder of the fact. Porter approved of the Artificer classes, meaning Gorgug can multiclass into Artificer. A class he cannot - currently - use rage in. Rage is useful, another tool. Now, Gorgug needs to find the balance that is required of him.

And I for one cannot wait to see where this goes.

I'll bet the taskforce was delighted that Light joined them, not because he was smart and would actually help, but because he was the only one that could bully L back.

Imagine having to put up with this gremlin like shut in of a man bossing you around, who is also younger than you and bullies you every time you open your mouth. Then, like a shining star, a teenager of a matching mental capacity appears and starts to bully your boss back.

And all is well, until the teenager joins forces with your boss and starts to tag team bully you like 10x worse.

there are valid reasons to have an antagonistic relationship to academic scholarship, but those reasons are overwhelmingly not raised in graduate classrooms, where students instead bitch about theory in general, jargon in general, making them sound ultimately like conservatives, who view any attempt to systematically account for social phenomena as a form of useless intellectual degeneracy

#you’re in a PhD program and you’re bitching about reading theory? Aren’t you just a little bit embarrassed? #this is a vague about my graduate cohort lol don’t mind me #I have increasingly little patience for grad students who refuse to engage with anything even slightly abstract or dense #you are literally in a social science graduate program. That is like one of the primary tasks you need to do in grad school #If you want to engage with it for the purposes of critique that is completely acceptable #but seeing a word you don’t know and immediately quitting and dismissing it as useless nonsense is not going to get you very far #we have to read Capital for our comps lol. what are you gonna do then

My favorite thing so far about secret life is when people get tasks that are so on brand for them that no one questions what their doing.

It either makes it super easy for them to get their task done, or completely impossible- and there is no in between.

#secret life smp #slsmp #slsmpblr #trafficblr #mcyt #mcytblr #life series #@ Lizzie not getting her task done since no one questioned her #and bdubs telling long winded stories without any purpose #and Joel starting cult- that was easiest thing for him

[agarafile]

going a little off my main pov, i feel like the thing with The Mounders is that they are a group with some of the most loyal people on this whole server. and they keep proving to each other again and again that.

but also, all their loyalties carry on. all of them are always so sure that they can trust the peopld they were with last season bc trust is all they had in the games.

like, i remember when double life dropped and pearl was certain that the gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss alliance was still up. or joel circling back to lizzie and jimmy even after seasons apart. bdubs is never normal about any of his alliances, tho lol

mumbo is a bit of an outlier bc even though is also another one that holds his alliances close, he is nowhere near that level of trust. he feels protected in alliances but his priority is himself so his trust come with a price

but it just made them all rely on each other more

#secret life smp #secret life #traffic series #the mounders #joel smallishbeans #pearlescentmoon #bdoubleo100 #mumbo jumbo #still thinking about joel going to pearl after gem told him about her suspicions of pearl's task. and he getting it wrong on purpose #'trust me' they say. 'always' they answer

i love how the cast of taskmaster s16 make every live task feel like a team task. like instead of it being them against one another, it's like watching a group of classmates trying to defeat the strict headmaster and his rules (greg) and i love them for that

#like the way sue just immediately goes “can we cooperate with one another?” #literally no second thought #everyone just helps one another #they're so cute #or when sue purposely let herself get disqualified just to help julian win the task #what cutie pattooties #julian clary #sue perkins #lucy beaumont #susan wokoma #sam campbell #greg davies #alex horne #taskmaster

behold: my second least favorite string of words in the entirety of Tears of the Kingdom.

(it's a little less transparent why this time so I'll explain my thoughts under the cut)

So why do I not like this?

In so many words: because if you remove it, the scene still works, but you lose the moral certainty of what is going on.

This single sentence does so much legwork for the entire game (the kind I dislike), to the point where I'm about 60% sure it's the product of a rework that realized how ambiguous Rauru's position was as the Good Rightful King and needed to nervously reassure the players that Ganondorf Is and Always Was the Invader, Actually.

(no matter that it leaves the gerudos in this awkward in-between state of both invaders and victims, while never dwelling in the specifics of their history and their own agency in the entire thing; brushed off as a sin they have to expiate through loyalty to the winners of that particular strife, but without explicitely blaming them either to avoid the implications of what that would have looked like)

If you remove it, not only do you lose a pretty clunky line that detracts from Ganondorf's intimidating presence (who is he even speaking to? who needs to hear this right now?) that honestly speaks for itself when it comes to his experience with warfare, but also you lose any tension and any mystery regarding why he is attacking in the first place.

You also... kind of rob Ganondorf's motivations of their meaning. "Hyrule will bow down before me" leads to asking... why? What does he want? What does he see in those lands? And what little we get with Rauru and then Link during the final fight begs more questions; why do you prefer hardship to peace? Why do you value strength? What leads you to want to rule a land devoid of survivors, become a king without a kingdom? I don't think we ever get satisfactory answers. If you remove this sentence, on the other hand... Subtextually, it becomes pretty clear that his motivations is that he felt threatened by Rauru's power, which is ripe with subtext and questions about whether this is a legitimate reaction, whether his "no survivor" stance is due to a feeling of betrayal when his own people turned against him post the Demon King shenanigans... I'm not saying it would fix the entire game's writing, far from it, but it would already do *so much more*.

(genuinely, I think he could have stayed completely silent during the Molduga Assault, speaking only in the Show of Fealty before going completely nuts after Sonia's murder, and it would have worked MUCH better in terms of characterization but anyway anyway

EDIT: ALSO!!! that way he wouldn't speak hylian to fellow gerudos, which is weird inherently)

Without this line, the core of the tension between the gerudos and Hyrule comes front in his conversation with Rauru; it allows the cause of his hostility to be Rauru's invitations, that he would have taken as a threat, and would have still made him warlike and domineering without making him cartoonishly flat, because, once again, Rauru is not acting in a particularly more legitimate way when Zelda arrives in Ancient Hyrule; and it would have been... fair to point that out. And make for better characterization for Rauru, and Sonia, and Mineru, and everybody. But the priority was for Hyrule to be pictured as unquestionably holy; always legitimate, always truthful, always beautiful, always just.

Also, and this is more of a nitpick but: why would Ganondorf want Hyrule, specifically, to bow down before him also? Was he at war with the rest of the disparate tribes before, and just carried on his ambitions to the very very newly-founded kingdom as they allied under a new banner? (though it seems to be implies the lands were crawling under monsters in a generic sense, and not Ganondorf's attacks in particular) Why would he even consider Hyrule a legitimate entity worth taking over then, if it is so new, born from the will of a powerful rival, founded by what is basically a stranger to these lands? Why would he covet something so young instead of destroying it and just calling the lands Gerudo Lands II or Grooseland or something?

I don't think any of that was even accounted for, because, beyond everything else: to me, this sentence is so clearly and painfully crammed in here to shield Hyrule from any potential blame and immediately characterize Ganondorf as Bad without having to remove any of the causes that could lead one to side-eye Rauru's little pet project as equally questionable.

Beyond the clumsiness, it is cowardly --and, I think, a little damning.

#totk #totk critical #when will my brain return from the imprisoning war... #ganondorf #gerudos #rauru #tl:dr it is cowardly and reveals that nintendo knew about the Implications to some degree #sometimes less is more #really in that case less would have been so much more #it is literally ganondorf's first chronological line #yeah sure it tells you everything about the guy but #it's also such a bold commitment to flatness and self-righteousness that... yeah #and before I hear any “at least Rauru wasn't using force” I mean as far as we know though? #the constructs attack anyone deemed an “invader” on sight one of the things rauru does is to apologize for this #(I reread Rauru's initial dialogue in the Sky Islands and it would have been SO GOOD if any ambiguity would have been allowed) #(like the thing about Constructs mindlessly pursuing their useless tasks forever disquieting him...) #(yeah buddy so true that could uhhh almost be a metaphor for something else regarding purpose and lineage or something wow) #and even if he didn't use force directly the power dynamics and repeated invitations are still undeniably questionnable #like my guy why do you want everybody to kneel down to you what's up with that do we unpack this or #at least ganondorf was like.... born and raised a king (not that it excuses anything but he inherited pre-existing traditions) #so did zelda #she was born in an imperfect system and did whatever she could about it #rauru *crowned himself* #he *made* the system

#the guy keeps saying it like that throughout and I’m just like no😰 #gives me that fear of how will the eng dub will eventually pronounce his name #the way his name starts looks like the word ‘laurel’ like the plant #so I argue that’s more fitting and sounds more elegant like that #and by saying it like that larryam u imply that his diminutive nickname would be larry and not laurie #now ​i can’t help but imagine brain calling him larry as a joke and lauriam just side eyes him like ( ¯−¯ ) #(plus side note the way his name ends is a lot like the suffix -arium implying a purposeful place or setting like planetarium terrarium etc #so his name breaks down to meaning an enclosure or space where laurel is kept #Laurel leaves classically symbolized as a mark of achievement #very befitting of this overachiever who’s done with all his tasks by noon #and now a headcanon his parents were like what should we name our fancy son something distinctive but still regular sounding… #solution: combine the names Laurence and William there ya go #kh #khux #lauriam #all this typed out because I couldn’t ignore the way this person said his name 🧍🏽 #extra side note for fun his name in Spanish would be lorellermo??? lorenmo?? #edit: wait wait how about FLORELLERMO 💐✨👏 I’ll be here all night #I’m using the squidward naming logic cause he’s called calamardo in Spanish (calamari and Eduardo)
