Random JadeYuu scenarios because I also have no self control:

Earth and Twst have completely different species of mushrooms and Yuu tells him about earth mushrooms and then they try to cross breed different types of mushrooms to get this One Really Cool Mushroom from Yuus world

Similarly, Yuu tells jade about the Himalayan mountains and Mt Everest (I know a weird amount if Mt Everst lore)

Jazz band! Maybe there's a style of jazz that only exists in twst or on earth and they just combine them to get a whole new jazz! Like cyber jazz or something (That's actually a newly invented genre irl)

Visiting the coral sea and Yuu just starts trying to find old ocean fossils like a fucking nerd

Visiting the coral sea and Yuus trying to figure out why Jade is glowing like the fish equivalent if a glow stick

They go to a rave. Idk they just do shrooms and go to a rave in scarabia. Ft high clingy Jade

Silently courting Jade and watching him flip out

Teaching him how to drive (he cannot)

I love jadeyuu, getting random jadeyuu brainrot increases my lifespan... probably... i think...

I think this is such a cute idea. Apparently our world has deep sea mushrooms so I think it would be very cute of JadeYuu to go diving looking for Twisted Wonderland's equivalent. I also really like the idea of them trying to research how to crossbreed mushrooms for completely wholesome and mundane reason but ending up with a bunch of information on how to grow psychedelics. This is fine by them too.

Jade would have such a silly painfully in love face while Yuu talks about the mountains of their world. He memorizes every word you say and kisses you painfully slowly afterwords, he really loves when you tell him things about your world that make him want to see it. (Mt. Everest makes me sad because all I really know about it is how tourism has been fucking things up for it.)

I really love jazz music ( ˘▾˘)~ and the idea of music evolving in a different way in different worlds is not something that I think is too far fetched, music is influenced by the culture around it and the Coral Sea is super different from anything in Yuu's world. Jade would really enjoy playing music with Yuu, I think he would feel like it would help him understand them better.

Floyd would find this so funny. He already makes fun of you on the log in screen for collecting random junk, and now you are grabbing random sea shit too? This is hilarious. Even funnier that Jade gets super defensive of you and tries to help you pick out the nicest things to bring back to the surface. Don't listen to him pearl there really is no accounting for taste these days.

( ` ꒳ ´ )✧ hehe Jade can control his facial expressions but he cannot control his body's mating signals. He's literally glowing with happiness at having you here, under the sea, all to himself, and so... soft looking. Vulnerable even, so why is he the one breathing heavy and feeling faint? You're unbearably close and so painfully gentle with him as you trace the light down from his shoulder to his chest... come on now, be a bit bolder and go deeper, won't you? (his smile is all teeth and he's literally shaking, which is only worrying Yuu more)

I'm just picturing Jade glued to Yuu's side, really touchy and so honed in on you he's forgotten that you are technically in public. He's saying absolutely filthy things... at least you think he is. He's kind of mumbling and the music is really loud, but you know where his hands are going... maybe you should get out of here before Jamil kills you.

You hand Jade a handmade bracelet and watch him have the most stressed out smile as he tries to determine if you want him or want him while he tries to not make it too obvious which one he wants. You know. You know which one he wants everyone does he is so not slick.

Yeah he refers to something as a "dilly of a pickle" his ass can't drive. I bet he gets horrible motion sickness when riding in cars, similar to how he is with roller coasters in the Playful Land event. He still wants to learn how so he can helpfully insist on driving Azul somewhere (he wants to watch him throw up.)

I think people underestimate the changes that need to be made to stories when adapting them to different mediums/structures and maybe if they understood, they wouldn't have such issues with scenes/character moments not being 1-1 adaptations.

The structure of episodes is really important when considering how the story will unfold and what to include in each episode. Every single episode needs struggles and payoffs, a goal and an accomplishment of that goal - especially in an episodic show like the animated ATLA. By necessity of this, each 20 minute episode is going to have a lot of stuff going on - and tons of issues cropping up where character can be shown. Also, it's common to only have one plotline being followed per episode per group of POV characters - often it's Zuko's plot (much less screen time) and the Gaang (more screentime).

When you only have 8 episodes, cramming all that in would make the episodes feel disjoined and cluttered. It would be a constant whiplash of 'small struggle, overcoming, small struggle, overcoming, small struggle, overcoming' and all those little struggles together might start to feel insignificant and like the plot is just trying to come up with something for the characters to be doing. An example that might have been frustrating is in the first episode of the live action, having Aang and Katara travel to go penguin sledding, then jump to the fire nation ship where they reveal Aang's been gone so long, then back to the village to yet again talk about how long Aang has been gone (to catch everyone up), then Aang leaves, then Aang comes back, then he's off on the ship, then Katara and Sokka have to figure out how to get Appa to work, then they go to the ship, they fight on the ship, Katara struggles to figure out how to waterbend, Aang goes into the Avatar state, they escape, they go to the southern air temple, Aang plays around, they figure out Avatar stuff, they chase Momo, Aang goes into the Avatar state again, Katara talks him down, then the goal of the narrative is introduced.

While that works spread across three whole episodes - episodes not meant to be watched back to back but rather week to week as well as the writers understanding that since this is a kid's show airing, it's possible the watcher has missed the episode before - it would not work for hour-long episodes intended to be binge watched. When the show is episodic and people might not be able to catch all of them, a unique issue needs to be introduced each episode and resolved that same episode (minus the few 2-parter storylines in the OG). It's just the nature of that sort of structure. Just like you wouldn't want a comic structure in a chapter book or a movie structure in a serialized show, different mediums require different structures.

So how to resolve this? We've got one hour to do all that in - so instead of having all that time traveling (or gods forbid just jumping to the next setting without any establishing shots/travel scenes), things need to be condensed: which means, take several individual actions that share a common theme - say, how a character reacts to certain issues, and combine it into fewer actions that flow in a single sitting rather than three individual ones. Not only condense individual scenes, but also weave together multiple plotlines that might have been in separate episodes, but share a common theme, and have them all occur simultaneously. This means that specific beats from each of the 20 episodes might not all fit in the episodes, but the spirit of those scenes can be adapted to fit with the situation that's at hand - I think episode 3 in the live action does this masterfully.

A specific example is moving Zuko and Aang's first one-on-one fight from his ship in episode 2 of the animated series to episode 3 in Omashu - combining that with the epic fight between them at the perfume place. Episode 1 had already had many fight scenes and one more might have blended in with all the others - setting this big, impactful fight aside for the moment until it could be…well, a moment, I think was a good choice. It was different, an adaptation, but it held true to the significance of the interaction as well as weaving in to the other storylines.

So again, the change of medium is going to necessitate many scenes to be altered to 'fit'. Though many scenes can be translated pretty closely to the animated counterpart, all of them won't be and if you think every single character beat being shown is a must in order to understand character, then just go watch the OG, a different structure just won't work for you point blank no matter how well it's done. Trust me, you do not want to try to just shift a 20 episode season into 8 episodes with no structural changes despite the raw run-times being similar - it would be bad. Like really bad.

#media analysis #story structure #natla #natla spoilers #avatar the last airbender #live action avatar #netflix atla #this argument that 'they had the same amount of time as the cartoon so that means they have no reason not to include every single scene' is #just wild to me #story structure is IMPORTANT PEOPLE #this should be very obvious but apparently it's not #there's not just one way to show specific character traits - the same trait can be shown in a different type of scene just fine

“Warwick launched his final bid at kingmaking, this time in alliance with Margaret of Anjou to restore Henry VI. He and Clarence landed in Devon while the King was in Yorkshire. Elizabeth (Woodville)’s initial reaction was to prepare for a siege in the Tower of London where she had already retired in expectation of the imminent birth of another child. But on 1 October news reached the capital that the King was preparing to set sail from Bishop’s Lynn, abandoning his kingdom. With no hope of imminent rescue, Elizabeth moved swiftly into the Sanctuary of Westminster Abbey with her mother and her daughters. She sent Abbot Thomas Millyng to advise the Mayor and Aldermen that she was surrendering the Tower, and consequently Henry VI, into their custody.

- J.L Laynesmith, “Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight’s Widow” in “Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts” / “The Last Medieval Queens, English Queenship 1445-1503″

"Elizabeth (Woodville) at first fortified the Tower of London against the approaching Lancastrians, but then decided instead to hand over custody of the Tower to the mayor and aldermen of London while she went into sanctuary at Westminster Abbey. It was a move which not only protected her daughters, who were with her, but also saved London from attack, which perhaps explains some of the praise she later received. The author of 'The Historic of the Arrival of Edward IV, who claimed to have witnessed much of what he recorded, stressed

the right great trowble, sorow, and hevines, whiche [the queen] sustayned with all manar pacience that belonged to eny creature, and as constantly as hathe bene sene at any tyme any of so highe estate to endure; in the whiche season natheles she had browght into this worldc, to the Kyngs grcatystc joy, a fayrc son.

...When Edward (IV) arrived, there was a scene of family bliss, in which the queen's vulnerability and domesticity could be contrasted with his heroism. The king was thus presented in an unusually human guise, which might appeal to readers familiar with such partings themselves throughout the civil wars:

The king comfortid the quene, and other ladyes ckc; His swete babis ful tendurly he did kys; The yonge prynce he behelde, and in his armys did bere. Thus his bale turnyd hym to blis.

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #history #edward iv #mine #the wars of the roses #i have a major issue with the way this is viewed by the vast majority of people tbh #for one: so many people conveniently forget that she was the one who controlled and was apparently fortifying the ToL #(which included the captive Henry VI btw)#while she was literally 8 months pregnant #she only gave it up after she learned that edward iv was also fleeing. it's SO important and interesting #and yet most people either don't know about it or conveniently flash forward to when she entered sanctuary #and my second issue: SO MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING HISTORIANS tend to treat her flight to sanctuary as some kind of indication of her personalit #when the truth of the matter is that SHE HAD NO OTHER CHOICE #as david baldwin rightly pointed out -as an englishwoman of the gentry she did not have foreign resources shelter or support at her disposa #the way every queen before her (in theory for lots of them as it wasn't required) possessed #nor was elizabeth a valuable heiress (like anne Neville or her own daughter eoy)#not to mention the very obvious fact that she was heavily pregnant (and gave birth just a month later) with three very young daughters #like. literally what else was she supposed to do? where else was she supposes to go?#her vulnerability was unprecedentedly horrific and people & historians don't emphasize the comparative degree of it as much as they should #at that point elizabeth literally didn't have any other options other than sanctuary. it wasn't much of a choice #it's strange because elizabeth's status has been discussed a lot in theory but rarely discussed in terms of how it affected her in PRACTISE #and this is a key example of that #among many others

Listened to The Stupendium’s “Neath!” enough to say “ah fuck it. Let’s make an oc out of this song.”

His name’s Cyrmic. Sometimes people just call him Ol’ Danderdilly. A bit of a curious existence— one that was believed to have such low odds that it was almost considered impossible, as he is half human and half cryptid!

In Bliss (which he’s debatably canon to it, not a whole lot of development has gone into his relevance, but he wouldn’t even be a considered character in the first act(??) but likely in a later act.), as long as both parties can consent and the cryptid is sentient (because it’s likely that there are cryptids that have mindsets closer to humans and others closer to animals) than a human and a cryptid can peruse a relationship. By default, humans and cryptids are not compatible to reproduce— but the gene for cryptids does in fact exist. It’s just a rarity. Most who do bare the gene usually don’t end up courting with a human for either the obvious reasons, don’t even end up with a human (which is more common than not) or just decide not to have a relationship at all. It’s a mixed bag.

However, in Cyrmic’s case, his cryptic parent did in fact bare the gene when courting with a human— and learned that the hard way. What kept them optimistic about it, we don’t know. Regardless, Cyrmic exists now. Not much going back on that.

Known to be kind of a peculiar character, Cyrmic plays the role of an oddball with a fascination for all things old-timey. He leaves a questionable taste in other’s mouths with his somewhat intimidating demeanor that’s both charming and suspicious which is reflected on his gestures and dignified dialect. Some people are led to believe he might be plotting something. But maybe they’re just not used to seeing something considerable as an eighth wonder. He’s not really trying to scare people. He’s just like that in general, and he genuinely means well!

But all in all, he’s looking for someone to love. Someone he can settle down with that can humor his curious point of view.

#uh oh. new idiot to play with #so uh yeah like I said he’s very inspired by Neath! by The Stupendium :)))#specifically the part with Byron Brimstone if it isn’t obvious #I am. very very very very very very normal about that song ::::)))))#so awesome too because I showed my parents and my dad has apparently been listening to it more lately :0!!!!!!#he says it’s the perfect song to get ready for work #because it’s so long and it helps him track how much time he has before he has to leave #they both absolutely loved it and were super impressed with the writing in it #and GOD it’s just. y’all saw my animatic I made. one of the greatest songs ever #it makes me so :D!!!!!!!!!#first time in years I can safely say I genuinely do have a favorite song #anyways. cyrmic.#fun fact his name should have been ‘cymric’ but I kept misspelling the word in my head until I realized I was saying it wrong #but I liked Cyrmic more anyway ((it’s pronounced as sir-mick by the way))#he’s a little strange but we love him for it <3 #a little weirdo stuffed with fluff and organs <3 #cutting this man open is like playing a game of ‘what will come out of him? Cute red stuffing or pools of blood? let’s find out!’#he also has a questionable fashion sense but that’s okay #he’s just looking for love man :(( he wants someone to settle down with but most people are offput by him :((#Cyrmic Danderdilly #Bliss #ocs #original characters #original stories #The Kiwi Draws

i am so jealous of amab transfems and i could list the reasons but i won’t cause i know if i was one id be just as jealous of afab transmascs is the thing. so whenever i feel sad that i wasn’t born a boy so i could be a girl i just think about how that version of me would be sad that she wasn’t born a girl so she could be a boy.

#that’s my genderfluid issue #mostly i wish it was more ambiguous what my agab was so i could do anything #but it’s very obvious the second you see and hear me irl #i think #but like also the hormones issue #at least if i was born a boy i could go on hrt #i can’t go on T bc it would make my skin condition worse among other things #but going on E would probably help it get better lol #i’ve read that some ppl have been prescribed estrogen for my condition and that it helps a lot #big sigh #speaking of i wonder if i would even have HS if i was amab #it’s more common in women but men have more severe cases apparently #and my dad doesn’t have it. so either i wouldn’t have it or it would ne worse #but then E could make it better possibly??? lmao #i think about my alternate selves too much i should focus on the one that i am #personal

The utter fury of reading about a character in a Victorian novel who is frankly described as ‘ugly’ and googling them only to find out that absolutely every tv adaptation portrays them as ‘brown haired but otherwise conventionally attractive to the 21st century’

#Are Victorian men very irritating when they choose to describe women based solely on their looks? Yes!#Is it perhaps difficult to cast for an 'ugly' role without insulting actresses? Also yes!#Is it possible that our beauty conventions have changed- I say yes but this particular actress would still have made a Victorian swoon #She has perfectly plucked eyebrows and clear skin too #So it's just going to frustrate me endlessly #Also there were aspects of this character which imo are still controversial in the 21st century #Body hair being one of many things which we still hold against women for god knows what reason #Beauty standards are bullshit and nobody should be treated better just because they're more physically attractive #But the answer to that is not 'Oh let's pretend all women are beautiful by only casting hot actresses so it's obvious these men were insane'#The answer to that is 'cast all sorts of people with all sorts of looks and if you explain to the actress the standards of the time period #I'm pretty sure she's not going to be insulted if you point out that this peanut-brained Victorian man may not have had the hots for her'#You know what's also unattractive? Internalised misogyny. But we can keep that in apparently it's just the body hair that's too much #This will never stop annoying me #It's up there with 'gives 24 year old actress grey highlights to pretend that she's now an old woman'#The Woman in White #reading log

So, like, if we're really going to go Full On Xena here and decide that historical accuracy is for squares--

About like a hundred years after OFMD is set there's this whole... thing. With men and their stockings. Which, as we know, are form fitting, and can therefore show off calves to their utmost advantage-- or lack thereof.

So some dudes at the time apparently felt the need to... supplement their calves. With falsies.

Calf falsies.

So it would, to me, be very funny if Ed sort of, like, notes early on that Stede has surprisingly defined calves for somebody who's swanning around dressed (and presumably as well-exercised) as the most uppercrust of indolent dandies.

And he doesn't say anything to Stede because, well-- listen, he's ransacked enough rich men's underwear drawers to know that falsies exist, and if Stede feels the need for enhancements then it's no skin off Ed's nose one way or the other. And anyway, they're spending most of their days in one another's company, so it'll become obvious sooner or later, right?

Right.

So no need to ask Stede about it. No need to, say, seat himself just below Stede during the evening storytelling at an angle that might let him check for the telltale bump of knotted ties beneath his stockings. No need to wonder at all, really, at any time, about Stede's calves, and knees, and the expensive knitted silk rolled up and over them, tucked every single day just as tight as you please under the band of his damn-near painted-on satin breeches.

There's absolutely no call for it because, eventually, Stede will slip. He'll forget himself, just for a moment, and then Ed will know and that'll be that. Accidents happen all the time on shipboard, that's just the way of it. No need to rush things along at all.

For instance, maybe one day Stede'll step into something foul and feel the need to strip off his stocking. Could happen to anybody. Practically a daily occurrence. But Stede, he probably wouldn't want to wait around in the muck, he'd probably have to take it off immediately, right where he's standing, just unbutton the band at his knee and get his fingers under it so he can find the stocking's welt, feel it out all careful as can be so he doesn't catch against the delicate silk and snag it beyond repair-- but it'd be easy enough for Stede, what with all the practice he's had dressing and undressing on his own now, easy for him to hook his fingers into the stocking and ease it out, roll it down, finally flash his plumpers and show where they ended and he began and--

Or maybe, Ed thinks with some feverishness, maybe like, maybe he'll ask Ed to stay after breakfast, to keep talking while Stede just changes for the day, and he'll keep the door to the closet open, not to tease but just to let their voices through, all normal, all fine, but god knows Stede loves his mirrors, and there's one that Ed is absolutely positive would-- if only Stede would stand just so and leave the door open just enough-- would in fact yield the reflection of Stede setting his clean, bare heel on one of the closet's little embroidered footstools, finally unclothed but for pale hair and pale skin and the dips and faint hollows where the bone would show shadowed in morning candlelight and half miraged in mirror view-- and then Ed would finally see, he'd finally have fucking proof that Stede didn't have that cut of muscle curving firm and palm-sized at his calf, that it was all cotton pads and careful knots and a rich man's brand of fuckery to capture a strength he didn't have, didn't really need to be honest, Stede was strong enough, alive enough in these hellish waters that he didn't need to prove anything to anyone, alive or dead, and so if Stede would just tell him, just slip one damned time so Ed could finally decide whether he wanted to burn the damn things or tie them on as sweetly as Stede needed or, or-- or--

...Which is how, about a month into their voyage together, when Stede does, in fact, invite Ed to stay after breakfast, and to keep talking while he changes, and he asks Ed if he minds him leaving the door open a little but, heh, not to worry, he moved the mirror into the bed nook just that morning, so no need to fear any "stark revelations," heh, d'ya get it Ed, like that time, and of course "starkers," classic punnery--

--only to hear the abrupt sounds of what seem to be, in order:

Stede's quite expensive dining table: flipped

his delightfully matched morning dishware: shattered

a non-zero number of his cleverly carpentered cabinet drawers: yanked from their moorings, dashed to the floor

what he now suspects to be, embarrassingly enough, his unmentionables: tossed, thrown, riffled through, and probably wrinkling

and one extremely irate pirate: thumping through it all while swearing very, very loudly that he intends to "find the buggery fucking fucks so help me fucking Christ--"

And Stede decides that Ed needs a moment, so he'll just go ahead and close the door and get finished dressing on his own before he ventures out to see just how accurate his guesses were.

#our flag means death #ofmd #free plot bunnies #if you write it link it #do the thing #but also I should say that I don't even LIKE DUDE'S LEGS wtf #like that is NOT MY DEAL #but apparently THE GHOST OF EDWARD FUCKING TEACH decided I needed to be witness to his fucking sartorial tragedy #edward teach #ed teach #stede bonnet #also while I'm at it #it becomes obvious over the span of several interviews that rhys darby is really very vain about his legs and so #I am having perhaps #Too Much Fun

I do honestly believe that all communication ever would be vastly improved if everyone on earth internalized and understood that the the whole thing is a series of back and forth interpretation of words with a collectively understood haze of potential meanings wildly dependent on context, speaker, and audience, even for even the most basic of sentences.

Like I can say "I like cats" but the degree of intensity to which i like them is just something you're inferring based on prior context (also interpreted) and how my tone is read. I could be sincere, or totally sarcastic, or maybe cat is slang for something else—miscommunication happens because everything is up for grabs, and communication is not an objective science.

It's a fast-paced guessing game played by all.

#hope.txt #i think a lot of people refuse to accept this notion at all #and i think different group that has accepted this in theory struggles with it in practice #because you'll see posts defended with statements like 'the meaning was totally obvious and readily apparent' kickstarting tedious argument #and if that were true then you wouldnt be having this conversation would you?#maybe its obvious to you #and many like you or closer to you #but thats not the same as objective meaning #this shit is always on my mind because you cant escape it #analysts love arguing objectively #leftist discourse is people with different backgrounds and experiences condemning the other party for not intuiting minutiae no one said #all discourse is that actually conservatives have terrible opinions that should not be treated as valid but the arguments themselves?#its just talking over one another as if the other person should just be on the same page already and is deliberately being obtuse #because 'its obvious isnt it?'#but if it was obvious you wouldnt be arguing with a rando online would you?#like yes obviously there are disingenuous grifters and liars in this world #people can be full of shit and act in bad faith #but it very much bothers me that the default is assuming bad faith when you disagree with something #i hate the assumption that everyone who says something different is a conman or an abuser #i cannot stand how insular and close minded how PRESUMPTIVE all dialogue has become #i am guilty of this myself at times truly but #but it feels like everyone thinks they are a mindreader of others given the divine power to know objective meaning of words #and you are not #you are not at all #no one is #give up on the fantasy of objective meaning it is not real

stayed up super late last night with friends doing halloween stuff (getting drunk and spilling tea) knowing full well that i had to get up early today to go to a quince out of town . i am awake against my will and regretting many decisions

#peach rambles #not staying up late and getting drunk. Let me be clear. that is my natural habitat #i regret rsvping for this quince that happens halloween weekend which just so happens to apparently be the busiest weekend of my goddamn #life. im exhausted from a week’s worth of lack of sleep and i am also no where near done with three of my monday deadlines #and i am losing an entire day (?) of work to this quince.#also it’s halloween weekend i should be getting drunk and looking hot😭😭😭😭#instead i am in the passenger seat of my father’s truck attempting to pretend i am alive #he called me this morning to say how far away he was from my house #but i missed the call because i kept on pressing snooze because. Obvious Reasons. and when i saw that he called #i called him back and he was like ‘im ten minutes from your house’ bitch i hadn’t even packed for the night yet. i was still fully in bed #i feel like if i close my eyes for too long im going to have a category five sleep incident. whatever that means #i think i forgot to pack a bra? fucking. i don’t know #i brought my computer so that i could possibly work but there’s absolutely no charger to speak of in #this vicinity. fuck. and uhhhhh i look like death but the only makeup i have is a singular eyebrow pencil #and the remnants of my eyeliner from last night. also the fake blood still in my fingernails #speaking of fake blood i bloodied my shit up for real last night which was very high risk high reward for me #the blood was four bucks from walmart and said that it stained skin and i was like #what a perfect product to cover my face and body in the day before i go to a family function #it ended up working out because i looked fucking good and i took a shower before i went to sleep #(did NOT check how i looked before i went to bed so this morning when i looked in the mirror and say i was blood-free it was a miracle)#but anyway. yeah. i want to pass out

Guess which idiot got stung trying to corral a wasp out their window... with their hand.

#scrawny rambles #i. i do this with flies all the time. and forgor.#should have just used a cup ffs #that's what i did back in the day when we used to get more of them #anyway! very sharp pinch but the pain mostly fades after the first minute or two if you dunk that bitch in cold water #first time i've been stung in conscious memory #apparently i got stung as a baby #but for obvious reasons i can't remember that lol #all in all not as bad as i thought it'd be

When your grandma comes over uninvited to your house on a day decidedly Not your birthday, to give you a birthday cake that is a flavor you do Not like, but is a flavor that a) she very much likes, and b) was the cake for her most precious favorite grandbaby, your baby cousin. So now you get the delightful taste of bad cake and favoritism for you pre-birthday, and also have to sit through an unannounced visit with your Extremely a Lot Grandmother, who spends a good amount of the time praising your shit uncle for being a "wonderful father" and talking about his and your aunt's amazing vacation with your cousin, which is just always an awesome thing to have to sit through a long conversation about under the guise of celebrating you.

#my birthdays always suck #they generally come down to reminiscing for my grandmother or somehow something about the amazing qualities of the 10yo baby cousin #do i think its ridiculous to be jealous of the 10yo? absolutely #do these people also not gaf about showing their extremely obvious favoritism and thus make it very hard not to resent this child? also yes #it does not help that shes a little spoiled shit #i love her but shes hard to get on with because these people have spoiled her absolutely rotten #and also my grandmother is soooo much #literally everything is about her too #i cant talk about anything without her turning it into something she can make about herself or her favorite people #also my aunt apparently told my grandma to tell me happy birthday when she called to ask how they were enjoying their vacation #so i should definitely expect 0 calls/ texts from her for my birthday bc she definitely thinks that telling grandma to tell me is enough #i hate my mom's family #they make me feel like shit and i cry on my birthday almost every year bc of them :/
