#polls #hyperspecific poll #tumblr polls #tumblr stuff #ff.net #eldest siblings/cousins pack #hoarding urls #fandom #personal #mine #uhhhhh idk how else to tag this #so anyway here’s my explanations of the ones that could cause some confusion: #1. both your parents are the eldest siblings/cousins in their generation #same with you and your siblings #e.g. my brother’s the eldest sibling and cousin in our gen #but both of us are in the eldest cousins pack bc I’m the second oldest cousin in this gen #2. definitely grew up poor but not in poverty like my parents were—their history informed their parenting decisions tho #something about poverty culture there but i don’t know how to explain that… #like there are certain things or foods that only happen out of poverty… and i grew up with that culture even tho i wasn’t living in actual #poverty #6. ppl around you openly browsed ff.net and while you were also participating in fandom; ff.net just didn’t capture you #7. it was jon cozart. he’s also why i made twitter too lmao (i deleted twitter end of last year) #8. making a billion side blogs specifically for saving urls for yourself so they wouldn’t be taken in the future #you wouldn’t use these side blogs for anything. they were specifically just for saving the url IN CASE you wanted to use one #okay I’m keen to see ppl’s answers AHHHH

So Lubelle’s implication that Cecil’s worldview is fucked up feels very much like the early fan theories that Nightvale is all in Cecil’s head. Don’t know if that’s the direction they’re actually going with this, but it feels relevant. Anyways that’s my 2 cents this episode.

#wtnv spoilers #welcome to night vale #wtnv 225 #cecil palmer #cecil gershwin palmer #janet lubelle #carlos the scientist #idk I had this thought last night while listening and it wouldn’t leave me alone #I think we should be less afraid of Cecil’s explanation being a removal of the self #and more afraid of Cecil’s explanation being the removal of everything else in nv #especially since he’s our point of reference for the weird things happening there #AND if we run with the theory that Cecil IS nv well #him not being able to perceive what’s happening around it might break the whole town down by association #idk enjoy my musings #max rambles in the tags

Thanks for the tag @six2vii 💕

Rules: List 8 tv shows for your followers to get to know you!

These are absolutely in no particular order of importance or appreciation lol. Hell, I’m not even sure this 8 is accurate, it’s just what I initially came up with 😂

1. Hey Arnold (not my favorite cartoon, or even my favorite nicktoon, but it probably represents me best)

2. Community (Did I identify with this so much because I had a friend group for years that made absolutely no sense on paper? Yeah, maybe lol)

3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (s6, y’all)

4. The Cosby Show (I know, I know! But they’re the Huxtable family, not the Cosby family, and I love the Huxtables, even if I wish Bill Cosby was somewhere up under a jail!)

5. Law & Order (Original only! I’m talking Ben Stone & Paul Robinette! I’m talking the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups lol. Yes, I know it’s copaganda. No, I don’t even think I could still watch it today without my stomach turning, but my siblings and I used to watch it all day everyday in the summer on like 3 different channels, and idk… nostalgia lol)

6. The Office (I didn’t know this is where I’d be working, but… lol)

7. The Young and the Restless (iykyk 😂)

8. Petticoat Junction (I’m saying Petticoat Junction, but really it could’ve been any one of the “rural” comedies of yesteryear in this spot. You don’t understand, like… when my mom was making our tv schedule when I was super young and we could pretty much only watch Nick at Nite, Jeopardy, or National Geographic Explorer, or when I was in middle school and we got the fancy cable with TV Land before it was automatically included lol… like I love me an old school sitcom, especially the “rural” ones lol.)

Tagging @ingentiiing @jbarneswilson @katatonicimpression @nelleana @pansexual-chocolate

#i love how everyone else followed directions and made a list #but i had to give a brief explanation for almost all of them lol #i really had to resist just listing my favorite shows & instead did truly try to pick shows that fit the ask #now someone do a game where we list our 8 favorite shows and tag me in it lol

suddenly remembering an old post where someone was pointing out that izzy’s “the plan is very much on, he promised me” line in e6 was an unreliable description of the situation bc ed did not actually promise anything, and someone’s argument against that was that there’s probably a moment we didn’t see where izzy was hounding ed about the murder plan and to reassure him he probably said something like “iz, i promise, i’m getting to it”

and they said. they said. that this was “occam’s razor” logic.

occam’s razor. the problem-solving philosophy of seeking explanations with the fewest steps or smallest amount of elements. had them conclude that there is a canonical moment that the showrunners decided was not important to include. a moment that would’ve made it clear that izzy’s “he promised me” wasn’t made-up bullshit. and even tho they did not include this in the show. clearly this is the most logical and straightforward explanation for that line.

not that izzy’s stretching the truth again, like he did in episode three. “i explicitly told him, blackbeard desired his company” when he very much DID NOT tell stede that.

that second explanation. apparently has more steps to it. than assuming there’s a whole scene that we never see for some reason. hello.

#i don’t remember any of the people involved in this convo it was so long ago #i think ppl were talking abt it in the fall idk #i just suddenly remembered. occam’s razor. assuming izzy is doing something we’ve already seen him do #is apparently a more complicated explanation than assuming there’s a scene they didn’t include for some reason #txt #og #mine #meta #ofmd meta #our flag means death #ofmd #izzy hands #izzy critical #overusing the izzy critical tag yayyy #s1e06 #s1e03

I'm finally back into the way of kings and like.kaladin. Kaladin. Babe. My poor little meow meow. Sad boy times only. Prime Blorbo material. I would die for him.

What a shame bsanderson is such A Worldbuilding Guy and I'm very much more a character driven person where the world mostly exists to serve the narrative & themes bc like. Ho boy is this one dragging. The dalinar chapters SHOULD be smthn I enjoy! Sad old men! Guilt! Honour! Chivalric codes! The ever encroaching fear that you're losing your sanity! And yet. Mcdying.

Love shallan and jasnah. Absolutely fascianted by scholarly, philosophical and religious infighting and implications there. But Kaladin is THEE cosmere guy of all time. He's uprooted even my mistborn era 1 faves. Guilt complex chronically depressed sometimes suicidal enslaved soldier is actually meant to be a healer and a surgeon and he is kind. And good. He doesn't want to be a miracle but for his men he will be. But he also said fuck the lighteyes class oppression all my homies hate this shit. I stood ZERO chance of him not being my fave immediately

#fran reads #fran reads cosmere #not tagging bc i like to be alive and not yelled at for not loving it as much as everyone else #im having fun! but also the PACING OH MY GOD #and bsanderson worldbuilds for its own sake. and THEN populates it w characters #or it feels like that. which is fine. #but im such an emotive character and theme driven hoe its like. om. #ok. but i need to be compelled #ur little racial group cultures and religions that worship rocks and long eyebrowed traders #all fine. #but WHY do they exist like this. HOW does it affect our characters and why they behave certain ways #if youre gonna go ham on the worldbuilding i need historical anthropological explanations in world #else I just get. bored? #which is v much a ME problem its not really a criticism just a preference #i find i don't have the same issues w tolkien either bc nostalgia blinders or bc tolkien was a historian and linguist and that comes out #*out in his work #and most the rest of my fantasy novels are character driven. loke even tge which has an expansice socially stratified political world #it facilitates character arcs and interactions. it doesnt just exist for its own sake #REAL LIFE CULTURES. VERY RARELY. JUST DO SHIT JUST BC #yeah yeah archaeology for ritual purposes joke. but THATS SLOPPY ANTHRO WORK. WE HATE IT #unhinged insane of me ik. i am going back to being sad abt prime blorbo material kaladin #bc he truly is SO good. THE bsanderson character For Me Definitely

"guys ur overanalysing and will get dissapointed" speak for urself if byler isnt canon in s5 i will simply continue to watch the better version of the show that byler tumblr collectively makes up in our hivemind

#literally i do not care #i dont get dissapointed #i get mad when gay people=plot device #or bad writing ruins characters #but other than that i could not give less of a shit #no writers could ever upstage byler tumblr so i simply just imagine all our ideas happening n thats good for me #we still the only people w a genuine explanation for mikes general existence that makes sense so #slay #byler #byler tumblr #our hivemind<3 #sorry some people in the tag hating fun again #let people make their crackpot theories bc they make sense to Me if u dont like it just fuckin leave😭 #what do u think the tags gonna do for the next 2 yrs? wallow in sadness at not getting endgame?? #fuck that #GO CRAZY GO DELULU BYLERS ILY<3

i don’t need that ending explained to me, they ate jackie, that’s what that scene was. they ate jackie and it was hedonism and starvation and a ritual and it set off something new and primal and things are only going to get wilder from this point on

#i really almost never go on youtube lately and when i do i'm always surprised at the shit that gets recommended to me #it's probably my own fault for not using it for music otherwise i'd probably get music recommended #(hopefully at least) #anyway i should probably tag for spoilers just in case #yellowjackets spoilers #yellowjackets #(also full disclaimer i didn't watch the clip so maybe the explanation is good maybe it's bad i don't know) #(the point is why would we ever need someone else to explain it to us when it's all in the scene anyway?) #(can't we make our own conclusions and interpretations?)

just stayed up until after two in the night talking on the sofa with my dad about mental health and expectation pressure and family disagreements <3

#own post #it was really good #he listened a lot to what i had on my mind and actively listened and asked questions #when i told him that i dislike the way he talks about my difficulties and diagnoses #and he also opened up about why he has acted the way he has during our childhood and acknowledged that he regrets some of it #like. he gave explanations not excuses. and owned up to all of it #it was really nice to hear him talk about it. and to hear that he has thought about it on his own before i have ever mentioned it #man i love him…… he might be difficult at times but MAN he’s doing so well nonetheless #tag chaos

came across these cool articles on twitter by @/ichtus404

they're written by a japanese roman catholic and has pretty detailed commentary on the christianity references in trigun

the first one focuses on vash and the second is on wolfwood

#its all japanese but putting them here just in case anyones interested #this was especially helpful for us bc it explains things in a way thats #easier to understand for a non-christian audience (the overwhelming majority of japan) #wheras english analyses have less explanations and non-christian comparisons/povs #bc christianity is already so ingrained in euroamerican culture and the audience is assumed to be familiar to a degree #from our experience anyways #- blue #we wont be translating this bc its a personal article #and we dont want to go through the trouble of asking for permission etc #trigun #trigun maximum #<- tagging just in case

I really don't know what's wrong with me.
