people who do STEM or administration as a career full time and continue to do art as a hobby, I am scared of you but like in a hot way. youre like if we were allowed to have cold drinks in winter. i look at you and think of miles morales with his two cakes. do you want to make out sometime

#i say all of this positively bc i just! i cant help admiring it!! even if its mundane or not a big deal to you i seriously cant wrap my head #around it.. this is in no way at all meant to be condescending or anything. whenever i look at someones bio and theyre like oh im working #as a lab assistant biologist pharmacist realtor etc im like woag.... thats insane.. and then i peep your art tag and it knocks my socks of #how?? what lives do you lead??? im so curious. i seriously want a peek inside your brains someday. or at least shadow you at work lol #i cant help but feel sad when someone says smth like well i have to support myself and art cant do that for me. or maybe you were #pushed into pursuing a 'safe' career bc i hear it a lot. all of my relatives have the same story working as nurses and OFWs for the family #i think for me its not about missed potential but rather its being sad about making a decision to put your happiness aside to get by #ive tried so hard to do it but it didnt work out. i guess watching you guys do it is fascinating to me #or maybe youve made peace with your decision or actually like what you pursued but im still amazed!! it makes me wonder what made #you pick one over the other in that case.. is it like putting time for two different things the way you would for a schedule?? hmmm #im doing graphic design so i dont really interact with ppl in other faculties even humanities like sociology or childcare... so i cant help #wondering what it must be like as someone whos pursuing visual communication both as an interest and career #i seriously wish i could do smth like a desk job or even admin and maybe ill try that if this doesnt work. or i could look into trades #but dyscalculia already makes it hard to do things like cash and mental math so i get overwhelmed if i think about this too hard #yapping

Suggest your weirdest ass hobbies to me. Writing is shit right now, I need a distraction from it (and the rest of life) but I also suck at everything

#Oh god #I tried crocheting???? #I mean it's practically math #It's math and puzzle solving and I am very bad at both #I know it's not actually math #But my brain put it in the same box #And now it is trying to make me hate it #I pretty much learned how to do the first. Like. Row thing. #And then my friend (and you tube) said “now turn your work” and I said WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN #I am very visual and it is hard for me to learn on something that just.... Looks the fucking same from start to end (The Yarn) #So clearly knitting is also out #I have considered embroidery but it seems very similar lol #Please don't say calligraphy because my handwriting is SHIT

just had this wild AU fic idea where at the start of AM they had a tiff and broke up and alex went to stuudy astrophysics/aerospace eng but he still secretly writes lyrics and then a decade later he gets this wild idea to try to produce music again and so blah blah blah some record label finds him blah blah they appoint mr rockstar miles kane to assist him with production etc etc

#milex #alex turner #miles kane #tlsp #i might look as if i'm deep in thought #ok i get its kinda insanely ooc like imagine alex in a stem degree lol #hes the type to just watch and fantasise about it i feel #in a MATH dense stem degree #but anything for the plot #oh... dr alex turner #what if i put him in nasa #spacecraft technician #am i projecting? yea #no idea how any of it works but i want to write it so bad

felt anxious about starting my job in september but I just had to remind myself that absolutely nothing could be worse than the job I had at that bookstore 🙏

#left me alone after I'd only been there for 1 hour and hadn't learned anything yet #had to answer lots of phone calls #everyone coming in there wanted to have a long conversation and not just buy books #having to do maths to figure out how much change to give the consumers #on my first day where I was completely alone the key got stuck and I couldn't open the fucking door when I was supposed to open #and struggled with the door for a full 15 minutes. luckily no costumers were there yet but I was ready to die. #etc etc #and I was only there for a few weeks lol #OH AND ofc the classic. me asking my boss when I can/should work again and her just never responding :) so I haven't worked since #I still have the key to that place... #doddie redet

very long post about how i as an Australian think the American date structure is silly and confusing under the cut

as an Australian i already think America is pretty funny, like the imperial system is both confusing and incredibly funny to me, but what i really don't get is the way dates are written in America

like.... for context, in Australia, we write days like day/month/year. and i like this because the most important information is the thing you read first. you want to know what day it is, you just look at the first two digits you see and you're done!! in some other counties like Japan and South Korea, they write it like year/month/day, which i also think is ok because it's still in a cohesive and easy to read order. you just go to the end of the date to see what day it is and it's simple!! it's all good! it's easy to read! this is nice!

but for some reason, the dates in America are written like month/day/year and i'm just..... i'm so confused!?!??!? why would you jump to the MIDDLE of the date to see what day it is???? it's so cluttered and jumpy and trying to read it in order is just... kinda irritating. the most important and immediately needed information is shifted to the middle of the date ans then you gotta go back and then jump forward again if you wanna read the whole thing and i'm just. actually bamboozled at that. who did that. who is responsible for that blunder at the workplace. i will find them and i will break their kneecaps and i-

ALSO you have no idea how many times this date format has absolutely screwed up schedules and post dates for me. imagine that there's like an online event or something coming up and they have a schedule for what day they're holding it, but it's just written like 05/03/2024. my Australian ass is going to read that as the 5th of March 2024, but someone in America is gonna read that is the 3rd of May 2024. do you see how confusing this can become. there is zero distinction between the two dates because they're written in the exact same way but have a different structure. this is fine for dates that go over the number 12 or are the same number, but it's still confusing and frustrating, especially when the website doesn't say what timezone setting you're on or won't let you change it (which some of them don't). it's quite a specific issue but it's still an issue and i hate it i don't like it i want it fixed please patch

maybe i just have a more logical way of thinking and i like having things be in order, but goddamn just write your dates properly i can't take it anymore /nsrs

#america is so silly sometimes #not that australia is any better lol but y'know #this post isn't really that serious i just find the month/day/year format to be weird #like why is it so jumpy???? america explain #i never saw how this is convenient or easy to read in any way it's structured so oddly and i just #it's a really america-specific way of writing dates and literally everyone else (except for a couple other countries) will be confused by i #america always has a really specific way of doing things.... #like the imperial system for example. i don't think there's many other countries that use that system and yet #like idk wtf a yard is!!! what is that!!!! what is a yard!!!! #one thing i don't get is miles. why is it a little more than a kilometre. why is it used as a synonym for kilometre. just use kilometre #i'm like that meme that goes ''WTF IS A KILOMETRE!!'' except i'm yelling ''WTF IS A MILE!!!'' in a thick aussie accent #miles are really kinda confusing though... why are you using a measurement that's a kilometre plus 600 metres? #why not just use kilometres? it's more structured and doesn't muddle everything up by adding an extra 600 metres- #-to every kilometre you travel #maybe i just don't understand math very well (which i don't) (to the point where i might actually have dyscalculia) #but i feel like using a measurement that just adds a decimal of like 600 metres gets really confusing to read and figure out #decimals are just confusing in general #they're like in-between numbers sometimes but also not?? i don't get em #speaking of decimals and dates again the pi day thing doesn't really work over here in australia #it would actually be 14/03/2024 here #lots of date jokes don't work here and i'm slightly angry at that #america is weird #america is silly

[microwaving-tesilid-argente]

putting down my scattered thoughts for where i would like season 2 of the webtoon to end 🤔

season 1 ended with the cotton candy scene, webnovel 51 and webtoon 42. s2 is currently at the slime dungeon, which is webnovel 61 but webtoon 52. the webtoon condensed hearthfenrir punishing the golden ivory tower (ch 46-49) into like 2 panels and condensed/skipped a few other minor scenes. i never actually read all the early chapters, so idk if the 10 chapter/episode gap is because even more entire chapters got skipped. if it is, then it means that the adaptation speed is roughly 1:1 except for when entire portions get cut.

if we take s2 to also be ~40 episodes, we might hit episode 80+? assuming a 1:1 adapation speed, it would mean webnovel 100+. and if some portions get chopped (maybe some sections of floor 299 and some others) maybe we can even hit webnovel ch 110?? idk if that area will be a good spot to stop though.

the week of regressions is at webnovel 77, while greenwalle starts at ch 82. narratively speaking, the start of greenwalle would be a nice place to start s3, except that i think the webtoon readers might get a little upset about still being stuck in the tutorial period orz. unless floor 300 is just that well done?? idk. actually i think floor 300 would work well as the central arc for this season, just like the toy mansion was. i just want to see post-regression tesilid though 😔

harpy queen is 87-91 and pandora's is ch 91-98. personally i think it would be nice if they could include greenwalle and a little bit after. just to smack all of us silly with the huge gap between tutorial tesilid and post-regression tesilid. i think casual webtoon readers would have forgotten how optimistic and well-meaning baby tesilid was by the time season 3 rolls over, so greenwalle wouldn't hit as hard.

stopping at the end of pandora's would also mean adapting 40 chapters, so i guess maybe they don't need to cut too many scenes? i also don't think it would be a good idea to include much past pandora's. the vatican arc is a liiiiitle bit long. there's the whole setup period, then the snow queen dungeon, then everything keeps snowballing into the magic republic arc and we only get space to breathe again at ch 128 when ailette blacks out. which is also a cliffhanger itself.

greenwalle being in s2 on its own would be a bit of a let-down i think because iirc nothing really happens there, we just meet reed and tesilid wakes up and barely talks. harpy queen arc very clearly shows how much more cold-hearted tesilid has become, which is great for making us all cry, but idk i think pandora's is a cooler place to stop? harpy queen ends with "how is tesilid going to sacrifice himself to regain powers without dying", which is a nice cliffhanger but i think it's not appropriate for a season finale - the stakes are too high. pandora's ends with them entering the vatican, which is a whole new stage of their lives so i think it's a nice spot for s3 to pick up.

#s-class heroine spoilers #might not reply to any replies for this post bc #i actually dont want to get reminded too much of what is gg to happen in s2 #j wanted to dump my thoughts somewhere #bc i wanted to work out the math and see if we're gg to get post-regression tesilid anytime soon lol #signs point to yes ☝️ #altho tbh i think i could just get the answers for this by looking at the korean webtoon #but ✨ idk how ✨ #would have saved me time tho LOL

#was talking with my partner about it today #i really loved building stuff 😭 i was obsessed with legos and blocks and lincoln logs #i loved figuring out how things worked #i took pens apart just to put them back together #i wanted to learn how to do woodworking lol #and then i took 3 years of it in middle school because it was required #the teacher was really aggressive though and he hated me so much because i was kind of slow and very shy #i think maybe that’s why i never. yeah #also okay i’m dumb as shit with math #you show me numbers and i will cry #stats are fun though but that’s not really math is it #also side note lol that teacher ended up getting arrested so. lmao #anyway. yeah #edit: OMG I JUST REMEMBERED #when i was in 5th grade we built houses with wires and batteries and lightbulbs and i fucking loved that #i was obsessed with lightbulbs??? i loved learning about all the parts #okay i’m shutting up now afhkl

the way Ti doms see people is so funny

like they gather info to "how someone works" like they're some kind of machine or puzzle they want to solve

#i can see how it can work very well but damn that's a little cold way to see people huh? #i love all the cognitive functions so much each one has weird things about it that i love thinking about #like yeah you can make your internal logical frame of what someone is like but #relying only on Ti to judge how to make a decision on that person can be very harmful to them and to you #bc your Ti don't care about feelings; it only cares about logical consistency #so please listen to your inferior Fe just a little bit and think what are this person's feelings toward you #my father was a Ti dom and he'd apologize by giving me food lol #bc he observed my positive reaction to it (Se) #but he never really thought i could just be smiling and not actually happy (inf Fe) #and all i needed was him to apologize and recognize he was wrong and show he cared about me #not some shallow physical thing like food (Se) #but based on the info he got with his Se his Ti was like “so that's how Bat works.Give him food and he'll forgive you. Math question solved #the Fe was yelling “noooooo he needs to feel loved and valued!!!! apologize to him!!!” #but Ti was like “did you hear some mosquito talk?”

[caramelmochacrow]

ok im gonna do crazy math shit bc of the farm shuffle unit event to find something out.

(cut bc people wouldn't listen to math)

the average weight of a foal is 10% the weight of a horse. horses usually weight from 900-1200 pounds or 408.2-544.3 kilos. if we were to do some nice math, the foals around the farm could weight from 40.8 kilos-54.4 kilos.

the average person can carry 20-25% of their weight without strain. yuka's weight is 49 kilos, so the weight she can carry without struggle is 9.8-12.3 kilos.

considering how she sounded when she tried to carry the foal, it was kind of heavy for her. duh. that foal could be 40.8 kilos or more, but it could just be because yuka managed to hype herself up before she did it.

considering the fact she carried the foal and the little guy must've been around the lowest average (40.8), yuka struggles a little but is able. (just let her to the super saiyan scream and not do it a lot)

so in short, she is able to carry foals as long as she doesnt do it consistently. (also yuka. you really need more weight if you want to carry more--)

now, all this math leads to another question:

is yuka able to carry esora "easily"?

esora's weight is 52 kilos, around the weight of foals, which is funny to me.

remember the twister scene?

shinobu's weight is 40 kilos and the lowest average of a foal is 40.8 kilos or 41 so it makes sense for her being able to carry her. once esora lands (that's 52 kilos) yuka falls after trying a moment to carry both of them.

look at her posture. no wonder she fell. her toes were the only thing that kept her legs up and her left arm is practically dead from the sudden weight. also esora clearly has her and shinobu's ENTIRE body on yuka, so yuka is met w 92 kilos on her stomach. even if i wasnt a scrawny guy, carrying 92 kilos is a lot, especially if the weight suddenly landed on your stomach.

so, seperately and not lying half down, yuka can carry shinobu and esora (also kyoko because kyoko's weight is 46 kilos) but all together, she would die. (which makes sense.)

for esora specifically, it would be a little bit heavy for her, but she's able.

EXTRA!:

can esora carry yuka? (making this short)

esora can carry 10.4-13 kilos without struggling, if she were to carry yuka, who is 49 kilos, she wouldn't be able to carry the other 36-38.6 kilos.

so, to put it briefly, esora could potentially carry yuka, but it would involve her doing a lot of training to be able to do it because of her low stamina.

#crow talks #d4dj #d4dj groovy mix #yuka jennifer sasago #im not tagging a Certain Thing but: #notes #imagine spending hours finding out what weight the foal yuka was carrying to find out how heavy esora would be to her. i wouldnt. #her ass was lying abt her being light #she wanted to look cool in front of her lol #this is all theoretical btw. my ass doesnt lift so im not sure how this works. #i just did math and compared the kilograms to rice bags.

@lena-rambles u bet ur butt i'm willing to share my unnecessarily elaborate calendar that nearly broke my brain

So Raedora's calendar is based on the cycle of the silver moon, which is one of three moons in their world. In the Raedoran belief system, the three moons are three deity-like beings who make sure the world runs smoothly while the gods deal with the affairs of mortals. The silver moon controls magic, the blue moon controls skill, and the red moon controls compassion. There's a lot of other cultural significance to the moons which is why my brain would not let me continue working on the actual story until i had hammered out the calendar

unnecessary additional worldbuilding fact--in neighboring Fierodia, the moons are believed to be the three eyes of their god instead

there are 336 days in the Raedoran year, 7 months of 48 days each that follow the cycle of the silver moon. the seven months are named after seven of the Raedoran gods. in order, they are Talamh (goddess of the earth), Seisyll (god of the home), Hyklios (god of education), Tidon (god of judgement), Isena (goddess of agriculture), Cadeyrn (god of war), and Ailis (goddess of health). Winters are very short in Raedora and occur during the month of Cadeyrn and the majority of Ailis. Spring occurs from Talamh to Seisyll, summer is from Hyklios to about halfway through Tidon (reaching its peak at the beginning of the month bc the people who made this calendar had a sense of humor) and the rest of Tidon and Isena make up the harvest season/fall. there are more gods in the Raedoran pantheon than just these seven but that's its own separate post

there are 6 days in a Raedoran week, with 2-day weekends and 8-week months. The silver moon is full halfway through the month, so it isn't uncommon for each month to be broken into "waxing" and "waning" periods to make timekeeping easier. The weekends are also based on the phases of the silver moon--they take place after a major phase (full, new, half, etc.) and were traditionally time for witches to rest after performing major spells with the silver moon's power. As magic became less common in Raedoran society over time, this slowly faded into a general cultural attitude towards rest on those two days.

here's where it gets complicated: the three moons are never full on the same night, but once every 110 years or so, they are all new on the same night. it's known as a triple new moon and is considered very bad juju. there's a character in lacuna that we haven't met yet who was born on the triple new moon and as a result was left in the street to die as a baby. lot of superstitions around that night. the math was figuring out how that would happen and how often it would happen. but once i had that date set I could calculate out the phases of the other two moons, which have 31- and 25-day cycles (red and blue respectively) so that I could figure out when they would be full/new/half/etc. (non-sponsored recommending campfire writing for this bc it saves you the math. did not discover this until too late) and then I could easily reference the calendar to make sure that the moon phases and the plot events were lining up since i went and tied my entire magic system to the complicated moon cycles

all of this to say that jack's birthday is actually the most important date on the raedoran calendar bc without it i would have no idea when anything happens. thanks street rat king <3

#i will talk abt jack and arthur later bc they will be in lacuna technically #but how they end up in it is a bit of a spoiler so for now all u need to know is that he is a problematic bisexual like everybody else #but specifically the slutty pathetic pining kind who also steals for a living. arthur is just a ball of anxiety who is good at picking lock #i remember i asked my brother for help with this bc i'm not good at math and he started to explain how a triple new moon is physically #impossible and i had to stop him and be like 'i don't care abt the astrophysics they're magic space rocks. just tell me if math works' #this got a bit long sorry lol #lacuna #worldbuilding #fantasy worldbuilding #fantasy novel #indie author #dark fantasy #original fiction #writeblr community #replies #writeblr #rb original

genuinely funny when my boss who's a degree purist tries to encourage me to get my masters. while I work for her full time. for next to no money. with extremely inflexible hours.

#gee thanks boss i never thought to get a degree in order to get a higher paying and more desirable job! #now if youll just let me take leave with pay for a few semesters and of course pay my full tuition ill be all set! #like how do they expect me to work 2 jobs and have enough time to do all my schoolwork without killing myself #and sometimes coworkers whos parents let them live with them til they were 25 will be like 'why dont you just work part time!' #like what an excellent idea!! whos gonna volunteer to pay my rent while i do that? any takers? #i already have a degree but its in math so no one gives a shit lol they want the mls which im not doing for a 31k/yr job sorry

A half-assed whiteboard imitation of Frederick Sandys’ Perdita (1866), done in a few minutes in Expo marker on 2/14/2023

#my drawing #visual art #2023 #pre-raphaelite #frederick sandys #shakespeare #the winter's tale #perdita #artists on tumblr #shakespearean heroines #i did this on the same board i've done my other whiteboard drawings that i've posted #idk if i've mentioned this. but it's in the math tutoring center where my sister works lol #i haven't been there in two months. i don't take any math classes anymore so i'm really just chillin in there. sometimes i socialize #sometimes i do my own studying. that's how i started these expo marker drawings. is that i was looking at paintings for inspiration for my #figure drawing final. and id do a sketch in my sketchbook and then copy it from my sketchbook onto the board. and id leave em there #obviously nothing about that is against the rules even if that's not what that room is *for* ... im allowed to just kick back #i always wondered what the other ppl who work in there thought of my whiteboard drawings. bc id leave em up. and sometimes they wouldnt be #erased for like a week or two. hell. the last one i posted (the love potion by evelyn de morgan) was my least impressive imo #but it was only erased like a week ago. it stayed up for like 2 months. kaily told one of her coworkers he could erase it and he was like #'its been there since last year... and out of respect for that i will not be the one to do it.' #lol like they're nice but they're not sacred #but anyway i went at a different time of day and stayed in there for several hours just reading and drawing while other ppl did math #i met three other ppl who worked there that i'd never met before. and they were all like 'oh are you kailys sister who does the drawings?' #i guess some of them really like them lol. it touched my heart #one guy in his 40s also saw i was reading a book on john donne & was pretty interested in that combined w my choice of the winter's tale #i guess he's a bit of an early-modern english lit buff himself. he's a christian. he said he liked george herbert. #he said smth to another student like 'yeah you can do math in here. or you can. draw on the board. or read books about #sixteenth century poets and theologians. whatever you want' #i didnt know anyone there would actually be impressed w anything i do. since it is not stem-related at all. #i guess i bring that old school humanities swag to the math center hahahaha
