#theyre shaped like so many things but. theyre Not that thing.

Barnaby has service dog characteristics, where he can sense distress and the beginnings of a potential stroke/seizure, and thus provides whatever support he can in response, change my mind—

i can't because i Literally Can't 🫡

#the thing my mind usually goes to when it comes to assigning solidly Dog attributes #is that barnaby is Not a dog #hes a dog shaped puppet #i know im guilty of givin him some little dog things in my scribbles but when seriously considering Him as a Character #from what we know he is very much just a dog in name and appearance #other than that hes a Guy! hes just a funny distinguished fella #he walks on all fours to be closer to his pals not bc its in his nature #you know? #i doubt barnaby would know how to actually act like a real dog if he had to.... #he knows the pun he knows the jokes the bits the Chasing the Mailman thing #but beyond that! he seems like just a guy shaped like a big blue dog! #thank you for listening to my teeny tiny lukewarm not-really analysis #rambles from the bog #i think thats a big part of puppets #theyre shaped like so many things but. theyre Not that thing. #puppets are made liars simply by existing

My fav thing about TAZ is that any aspect out of context sounds fucking bonkers.

Like, in the balance finale there's a scene in which Garfield (who is very specifically never described visually bc most people imagine him as like. The Lasagna Cat. Who in this universe is the most powerful warlock in the realm and also has a hobby of cloning people, which is great for the one character that got forced into haunting a mannequin) is summoned by an alien spaceship that runs on the power of friendship so he could beat up some flashing balls. In D&D.

And that was just. Such a normal scene in the narrative. No one blinked an eye. I would like to bow down to Griffins clear unmatched talent for making me feel such big emotions over ridiculous shit like a goddamned umbrella or a regular ass pair of jeans or the idea of a taco recipe.

#taz balance #the adventure zone #taz #i have. so many drafts of this post decontexualizing so many different scenes. #merle killing a room of autism creature looking things by asking them to tell the truth which then summons god #also merle retiring from his retirement to run fantasy margaritaville under the title Earl Merle #magnus the mannequin telling taako and merle to find the baby voidfish bc the big voidfish sung at him real hard bc in the century he #just now remembered (bc hes a mannequin not a human boy) #he gifted an alien jellyfish with dozens of shitty wooden ducks. he forgot that century bc his friend fed the jellyfishs baby a book #the gnome version of Teddy Rucksbin turns out to be the universes most competent spaceship pilot. hes also a talented opera singer #a man named Barry Bluejeans is dead and uses his ghost haunting powers to gift the three heroes badges that they cant see #right before theyre shuttled off in a cannonball to save a space lab full of kitschy elevators thats snowing pink tourmaline #barry also uses his ghost powers to hold hands with magnus and make random shapes in midair like a dresser when theyre trapped in a #fantasy version of The Dating Game hosted by ghost Jesse and James Rocket who steal bodyparts if you lose their game. #or like in campaign how a dude who wiped out in the first three seconds of ninja warrior convinces a human wifi router #who owns a bible theme park to take the apparent King of America to the white house on their hovercraft to be trued for treason #after he announced his intent to take over the country in a televised debate with an inuit goddess who is sometimes trapped in the body #of an HR worker all Donald Blake/Thor style #anyways. this show is ridiculous and i love it So Much

ive been playing a lot of pokemon-like games lately to search for something new to fill the void of the desire to collect creatures... so many games show so much promise but there's always something holding them back. it's usually just like one thing and i cant get too mad bc a lot of them are either extremely inexpensive or outright free. but it sucks to be playing a game thats otherwise solid only for it to suck bc like, the writing is abysmal or the gameplay loop is miserable. the most egregious thing ive encountered in a lot of these games is the lack of a robust bestiary. like thats the main reason i played pokemon and stuck with it, when prof rowan asked me to research for him i took that seriously 😭 i want to know abt the animals please for the love of god give me a description, a habitat range some fun facts. please

#strato.txt #i got spoiled to gen IV dex w/ footprints and the height and weight scale and the cry remixer and form differences.. #when they took away footprints i sobbed cried and screamed. i was like WHERE ARE THEIR LITTLE PAWS.... #maybe its cause i associated footprints w/ that guy who gives you a ribbon if your friendship is maxed out #cause he reads how much ur pokemon love you by the way they leave footprints in the sand... sigh #anyways. the scale for showing u how much pokemon weighed was cool too. how it launched dawn/lucas if the pokemon was heavy enough #i just really. REALLY want to feel like a field researcher that was always so important to me as a kid. going out and learning and growing #the villainous team is just a roadblock. and obstacle in my path to learn and see the world #i feel like gamefreak has shifted from learning as a narrative to coming of age and saving the world as a narrative. im sick of it tbh #is that what kids want these days. when i was a kid i wanted to be an astronaut and a paleontologist #so many games are getting the 'whoa cool beast' thing down. theyre the tyrannosaurus lovers. they like the cool animal and its evolution #but theyre neglecting like... the nature part? the part where the animal clicks in with the world. where its part of the ecosystem #they know that trex is cool and huge but not that it lived in a subtropical climate dominated by angiosperms. #the pokemon co and gamefreak have gone to great lengths to make pokemon feel REAL #they exist in their environments and shape them and interact with each other. many prey on each other #pokemon inhabit certain regions of the world bc thats their /ecosystem/. theyre not just randomly placed... #oh my god. i have more to say but im stopping here. im stopping

its literally sso weird seeing like the majority of posts in a fandom just being people thirsting over characters, like, thats actually what that many people take away from watching television? and although they do it a bit over female characters, its mostly male characters, which i reckon must say a lot about demographics? and like, sometimes you can tell when theyll go weird over it from how the characters portrayed like 'conventionally good looking' and with body language and framing and stuff that you can tell its intentional, although in some cases (or maybe thats just my interpretation) but i always saw it as more the showing offs like the audience is meant to relate to them instead? like its actually from their pov and the audience is just meant to think theyre cool. although maybe thats just me. but then also sometimes the chaaracter is so much like one youre meant to thinks cool or from their pov or whatever and they havent portrayed the conventional attractiveness as clearly, or like thats not how their characters portrayed so its always so weird to me when people on here start going on about how attractive they are

#jujutsu kaisen #also other ones #i mean i havent watched hollywood films for ages and havent watched that many #but it makes me think of those like 80s-2000s especially hollywood films #there the audience is clearly meant to find both the male and female leads attractive which is so obvvious from how theyre portrayed #and like it takes up a lot of the film compared to other tv shows and stuff ive watched? #but then the thing with the animes ive watched is that its a lot more surprising to me when people are like that #although not always there are often times when characters are clearly portrayed like that #and its also like the ones ive watched and stuff #but i dont know maybe its also about how theyre portrayed like the hollywood films are those american hypermasculine guys #and im not saying anime characters are more realistic or relatable or anything neither are meant to be realistic #but i guess anime characters are like more similar to the protagonists of the books i read as a kid which really shaped how i view fiction #so those are the sort of characters that my mind goes to as the ones youre meant to like relate to #and like in general none of the characters might be similar to me in real life thats not what i mean by relate #i mean more empathise or something i guess like see from their pov or project on them? i dont know #but anyway the hollywood guys like theyre never very povable or whatever the word is? #and like those books i read it was often the sort of 'underdog' character or others that were meant to be relatable #whereas both hollywood and anime arent really that so much but anime characters still lends themselves to seing from pov perspective #anyway before ths went into pov it was about how the main way i tell if people will think characters are attractive is narrative positionin

do you think newjeans is an sm group (or could very much be one)? i remember when they debut, a lot of the reaction was of that. which is only normal considering newjeans' ceo was a large factor as to why sm is sm.

people point out the members' visuals as sm but hybe is relatively a new company so what holds as their standard is hard to define for now. (taeyeon/irene + kangta/jaejoong/s*won as clear examples of an "SM face"). also, i sometimes forget that some groups are under hybe because there are so fu-cking many now and they're going to debut like 4/5 new groups next year. it literally does not make any sense to me.

other than that, i don't really feel like newjeans gives off an sm vibe? i feel like it has a lot to do with the training system and what each company emphasizes on. it seems that newsjeans is gonna be more dance-focused like all of the other hybe groups. sm groups usually have a distinct vocal color - despite being under the same company, each group holds their own.

slkdjflskdfjslkdfj they are NOTHING like an sm group. like you said, sm has very specific branding in terms music, sound, and visuals, and also in HOW they construct their groups as well. i said it in ask a long time ago, but sm is the only company where i can say that they have a distinctive methodology of how they assemble a group and who has what positions/fills specific archetypes. although a lot of their artists are what would be considered 'all rounders,' sm groups have very specific positions that artists are meant to fill according to how they are assigned and there isn't a lot of deviation from that in group context. there's very little confusion as to who the main vocalists/dancers/centers are. hybe has more of a.............egalitarian approach (well, that's what it translates to, i don't think that's what they intend) where they expect everyone to have an equal level of performance skill and bill groups as being 'performance' oriented, but then they don't have anyone else in a strongly defined other role. like how do you have an obvious main dancer when your whole group can sort of all pass as main dancers? how do you tell who the main vocalist is if you don't have any strong vocalists taking the bulk of the lines and exercising their park n bark privilege? i couldn't tell you what the position of any of the girls in newjeans is unless i looked it up, but i could immediately tell with aespa.

the only thing they have in common is that they have a similar approach to aesthetic branding, and that's literally bc it's the same person doing both.

#kpop questions #newjeans w #i know there are a lot of kpop fans out there but sometimes y'all come at me with 'things ppl have said' that i've never heard before #and it makes me go 'hm i guess i have curated my kpop based social media feeds very well' #feels like im peering over the fence of my garden like where tf r u guys hearing these things lskdjflksdjflsd #not to bang on about the importance of positions in kpop again but theyre SO important #they give you a baseline to establish about the idol without actually having to KNOW anything about them #the formula works! there was a reason every second gen group was shaped like that! #there def are still non sm groups that are formed based on old school positioning but not as many. like tan for sure #bc theyre literally just a second gen group in a fourth gen trenchcoat #and like. p1harmony? i barely know anything about them but i can tell what everyone is #oneus has a rep for being a performance group but they have clear positions still #even with a.c.e who's also a performance group its still super clear who does what #part of the problem is choreography also! 4th gen choreo is too intense now! #and it often doesnt 'feature' a main dancer in the same way that it used to #the vocal colour of sm groups comes from yoo youngjin! he's their original vocal trainer and he's probably sm's oldest employee lol #and a lot of the 'typical' sm songs were produced by him #most other companies don't have as distinctive of a vocal presence bc they just havent had the time to establish it #also important to remember that hybe has bought out a bunch of preexisting groups and there's no way to maintain consistency that way #text #answers

Performed Knife Surgery on my favorite silver knife bc its screw was loose hfkshjf but I had to take off the clip thing to get to the blade screw & the screws are weird star tips. Thankfully my sister's fiance just happened to have some of those (for his ps4)

Knife Surgery Is Complete. Took me a bit to get the exact right tightness to be as tight as possible w/o inhibiting the blade opening, but I got it

#speculation nation #idk there's just smth about opening a knife. pressing a button and hearing that Shhk. #knowing i have complete control over the blade. it feels comfortable to me. #it's very different from when i was a teen & my dad would pass me his pocket knife to use when opening smth. #i was so intimidated by the spring release. couldnt use it. and now i use it like it's nothing. #probably symptomatic of other things with my brain but To Be Fair i havent injured myself on any of my pocket knives. #cant say the same thing about my machete but shhh it's fiiine. we r not talking about her. #i got a knew knife for my birthday. this tiny little pocket knife with a leaf shape. it's rly cool #i'll have to post pictures of it later. #me sitting there with my new leaf knife and my favorite silver knife and my new favorite butterfly design knife #and my swiss army knife and my lil black pocket knife and my keychain key knife #might as well call me millions knives bc ive got So Many Fucking Knives. #idk i just love them! i just think theyre neat ❤

okay. what is so hard about giving your autistic service user a simple heads up if theres gonna be strangers in their shared living space like. I’m not even asking for timings, names, or an introduction. I literally just wanna know if im gonna be seeing strangers while i try to do my washing or if someone is moving in that day and i will be seeing them from now on. i do not get why that is so difficult and unreasonable and crazy. i feel insane because i get why NT people might not care but i just feel like i shouldnt have to repeatedly explain to everyone why it DOES matter to me and have everyone act like i just need to get over it. screams of agony and so on.

#brought to you by a bunch of strangers being in my way as i try to collect my washing from the communal laundry room #theyre here to clear out some old furniture from a flat #i dont need to know literally anything about them at all btw i just want a heads up that. you know. theyre here. #like simply ‘hey just to let you know theres some people clearing out a flat so if you see any strangers coming in and out dont worry’ #see how easy that was? i did it in 15 seconds. boom. done. easy fucking peasy. #did not inconvenience me in any way shape or form. #BUT i know if i had said that to. say. an autistic service user who has this kind of thing in their care plan #it would probably ease their anxiety and intrusive thoughts they have surrounding this kind of thing. something they have disclosed #many many times to multiple members of staff. #and it is literally in their fucking care plan. which staff wrote. #whatever point is that sometimes things matter to me bc of my diagnosed disability and MH conditions and i’m very tired of pretending they #dont matter because they dont ‘get it’ or cant take 15 seconds out of their super crazy definitely busy days.

everyday is so hard for botw haters (me)

#it didnt really blow me away i kind of hate i let the hype of it shape how i view it #it makes me want to play skyrim. sorry #i know theyre soo different but still comparable #i say this but i still played like 15 hrs of botw #my gripe is how boring the beginning and middle of the game are #and then you get to the story dungeons and theyre pretty much themed to the same damn thing #theres so many shrines and shit but i don't really care they start to feel repetitive and the dungeons felt like a chore #not to mention the durability system is iffy at best in my eyes #like stuff shouldnt break that fast and for some stuff to be repaired

idk if i spoke about my silkworms before on here... anyway i used to raise silkworms from when i was 10 till i was 14. i would feed them vine leaves and observe their metamorphosis then release the moths and get another batch :) i’d keep like 4-5 at a time. i loved to watch them and bring them to school with me in a shoe box lmao

#some kids really liked bugs so they would come to watch them with me but most people were rightfully grossed out lol #insects tw #bugs tw #worms tw #theyre so ticklish too they have like these little hairs and when they crawl on your hand it tickles #best thing is when they munch on a leaf they leave this trail of tiny bite shapes AAAAAAAAAAAA #and their moths were super adorable. i love them sm #def my favourite worm but idk if favourite moth... theres so many beautiful moths #anyway that moths plush post got me thinking about them and missing them.....

and like at first glance mando armor all looks strikingly similar but then you look closer and you realize theres so much variation like even just in the helmet designs you have different little variations in the visor shape, the fucking "cheek indent" shape, the forehead, the ear pieces, etc and then it comes down to like well how much of that can be personal customization, and then what can you potentially say about the person inhabiting the armor by just the armor design? if the helmet is their face, then what does the helmet portray about their personality? but then i also love the idea of like actual mandalorian families who pass on certain armor characteristics like maybe this one family carries on this one specific visor shape or whatever, so despite it being armor you can still somehow see familial resemblance between them. idk i just think its neat. lol

#which is why i haaaate the fact that the different primary visor shapes are gendered #by which i mean the standard T shape and then the like cat eye thing #but here im also talking about even little variations in the standard T like look at the difference between din paz and boba #they all have the T but its all different right like theres differences . #but i wish the standard T and the cat eye were not a gendered binary bc 1. fuck that i hate it #isnt armor so beautiful because anyone can be inside there U_U why must we create another binary U_U #but also 2. it prevents so many more opportunities for even more variation in helmet designs #like a while ago i made an edit where axe woves had a cat eye visor on his helmet #and so then you can say that that helmet design signifies the whole bokata/koska/axe alliance going on bc theyre all part of the same #group and carry that on their armor together #but NOOOOOOOOO. men cant HAVE cat eye visors bc uwu its FEMININE and for WOMEN ONLY !!!!! -______- #anyway so not only are there variations even on the primary visor designs like the difference between boba paz and din in the T design #but then imagine if there was similar diversity in the cat eye design also like the different angles it can tilt at or the different #specific shapes to the arched parts etc #right like theres just so much you can do with it and its fun to think about but then making it a gender binary is so fucking annoying #brot posts #mando posting
