Do y'all think object heads have a peculiar vision? Well I certainly do!
If DJSS is actually a supernova then assumption probably brings with it the idea they were a star, and being a star where it sends light in every direction and vision is directly correlated to light, what if that means omnidirectional vision?
#dj subatomic supernova#djss#no straight roads#nsr#fanart#a lot of notes i have in the image itself but i'll talk about them in the tags#i like to headcanon nova in youth was an o-class main sequence star aka big blue star that is bound to supernova#that shit is BRIGHT like 800000ish times our sun bright so even at a portable head size it's like a literal eyesore#kid to adult nova probably had to wear a helmet for others safety (an inconvenience to be sure)#but that would inherently condition them to have a more eye-based narrowed vision with a more frontal view of the world#which was helped a long way by being blinded by their own luminosity at the back and sides of that helmet#even if their vision was kinda dimmed and muted thanks to the visor being as shaded as it was#which is why when nova's a- well- supernova the interior of their hoodie not only is white but emits light#practically speaking it would be an inconvenience as the dj of a lowlit club but what if it was a habit that was a layover from being a sta#and to that: vision as a star and vision as a supernova are like two completely different logics#if a star is one celestial object that can view everything in every direction- a hot cloud of space dust is just trillions of staring eyes#compound eye having ass#from 20 or so years being blinded by their own light it does mean that not EVERYTHING has sight#let alone the 'used to be internal' contents of nova's head that kinda swirl in no particular direction#but whenever those blind spots happen to swirl their way up to the glass nova may get spotty vision#probably more a visual snow rather than any cataracts just because of the shear number of space dust particles#which means poor nova the dark gets littered with static and stargazing has a little more stars than they were used to#though it might also be because they aren't perpetually wearing sunglasses anymore but then again shades are different than visual snow#i have no idea where i learnt this (i think it was a humans are space orcs thing) that spacewalks can be utterly TERRIFYING#so i don't know if this was a nasa (or other space organisation documented) observation or general fear of space moment#but if folk are terrified with their binocular vision to float around in an ever endless void of stars and systems- how would nova feel?#i mean sure they utterly revel in space (they're an astrophysicist and ex-professor for it for god's sake) but they're now IN space#and it was just after bunkbed junction crashed their concert and took apparently their helmet and headphones as a trophy#bestie having omnidirectional vision in space is one thing it's another to literally have the place your vision comes from spread out!#i mean being the object that is their head it's not going to run completely away from them

the duality of my Dr. Benzedrine is that he's incredibly effective and ruthless at what he does (saving lives, need not concern himself with the consequences as long as the subject/victim/patient is still alive by the medical definition of the term) and he's terribly smart and has a great sense of humor, but he's also a rather confused, genuinely brain-damaged individual. like. he's scary when he's in his element, but when he's not, he sometimes can barely string a full sentence together, has panic attacks over loud noises, etc

actually. the pla fandom’s biggest L was shoehorning ingo in as the pla protag’s father figure and completely outright ignoring LAVENTON. WHO IS CANONICALLY THE PROTAG’S FATHER FIGURE. CMON GUYS more laventon content Now
#neela speaks#//#negative#ok to reblog btw!#i need. a ranting tag#its like. that unmistakeable fandom brainrot trait of ignoring-#the important role a character of colour has only to give the same role to-#a white guy. seriously#like. just say u dont like laventon bc hes not a skinny pale dude and leeeeeeave#tbh. im not a person of colour so im probably not qualified to talk abt fandom racism#but when everyone sidelines the south asian-coded guy & replaces him with a white dude. that smacks of fandom racism!#i do think that a lot of the pkmn fandom has a fandom racism problem.#whether that's making characters of colour more aggressive/'feral' (raihan & archie are commonly misinterpreted this way)#or making characters of colour less intelligent (im gonna say it again LEON IS NOT A HIMBO. HE ISN'T. THAT'S MILO MILO IS A HIMBO)#or villainizing characters of colour more (look. chairman rose is a dickhead but you people will turn him into a Monster sometimes)#or. in this case. shoving characters of colour/darker-skinned characters aside to make room for the White Faves(tm)#like i also do have criticisms abt how pokemon itself handles white/pale characters vs characters of colour/darker-skinned characters#example: i LOVED the aether storyline in sun/moon it was SO interesting but there is a problem with underdeveloping the multiple-#-characters of colour to benefit the arcs of the white girl. like to the point where sometimes it feels like lillie is the protag)#which is why. there's more moon & elio protag stuff in my alola rewrite. blending sun/moon with usum kinda#but the fandom.....well the fandom isnt free of prejudice either x_x#sorry for rambling in the tags (stil angry)

Similarly--can I read TM's fic without learning anything about H*mestuck (corollary, should I)
For the oneshots, I would say absolutely you can read them no extra info required. She has some random john/karkat and dave/terezi and I think one about jade that are basically just, slice of life stories with angst in the background. All you need to know is there are aliens and they're in love with various human characters, and something bad has happened to their home planet. For serendipity gospels. Hmm. I read that fic before reading homestuck and it made homestuck more comprehensible. Take that as you will. SHOULD you read it? Well it certainly, has flavor. I mean if you absolutely cannot stand A) long unfinished fics B) long passages in the internet speak of the early 2010s (much like the memes in gtn there is a point to it but whether you find it readable is up to personal taste) and C) the infamous troll romance quadrants (which she basically treats like an outdated social code the characters can't get past) then no you should not. I'm trying to summarize it and coming up short but basically, two aliens have a strange and violent romance for 130k words and tazmuir commits to the clown religion bit harder than anyone has ever committed to the bit

im not gonna link it cause im not interested in getting into shit tonight but i really hate that post thats like “as a jew i dont think jesus was divine or the messiah or anything but i think he was still a cool guy” bc i dont. i think he sucked actually
#sasha speaks#and its not just me being bitter about modern day religious xtianity & cultural xtianity pervasiveness either#dude was first of all not unique; there were a lot of messianic offshoots of judaism around the first century#(cause one of the key features of the moshiach is liberating the jewish nation from foreign powers ie rome)#(which. yknow. jesus didnt do)#but also a lot of the shit people point out that jesus supposedly did as being Good and Sticking It To The Man. kinda sucked for us actually#no the money traders in the temple courtyard were not corrupt they were performing a necessary public service in a central location.#yeah the teachings about being kind to your fellow man and the immorality of obscene wealth i vibe with but like#jesus and his cult were hellenized jews in a cultural context where hellenization (as opposed to non-assimilated judaism)#was a big and uncertain divide at the time#and jesus' cult going so far out of its way to not only accept but embrace hellenization and assimilation for the sake of proselytizing#and growth#directly and actively goes out of its way to divorce itself from the rest of judaism; declare the rest of judaism to be bad/wrong;#and eventually seek to 'replace' it in some way#(maybe other hellenized judaic cults could have survived if the jewish revolts hadnt failed in the first century and the romans hadnt#effectively forced us into diaspora 2 electric boogaloo but speculation doesnt change the fact that non-hellenized judais#m is what survived to the present day as judaism)#also talking about jesus by applying modern sociopolitical labels is just dumb.#the concepts of 'people or color vs white' or 'socialist' or 'anti-capitalist' or whatever. none of those existed in the first century#and it's disingenuous to sincerely call jesus an ancap person of color icon or whatever.#anti imperialist (anti roman empire anyway) was certainly an existing political position back then#but lets stop pretending jesus and his cult were anti rome. they were hellenized. they were hellenizers.#they actively changed their religious and cultural practices to embrace hellenic culture and make itself more attractive to hellenic culture#if jesus and his cult were really anti roman imperialism then maybe jews wouldnt STILL be harassed for being 'gd killers' today#but we are. so. guess they weren't lol#anyway. jesus sucks. hate that guy

literally such a tragedy what channel zero did to search and rescue woods youre telling me the author lost the publishing rights for THAT like im still so mad. we could have had a book. we could have had a book
#sorry i hate the third season of channel zero always have and im speaking my truth now HJKDLSJHFKD#okay like. channel zero in general. the first season is like#i wouldnt say its good. honestly it started okay and kinda intriguing#and then got kinda bad. and then at one point it flipped back around and became camp to me#so i kinda like the first season but through no credit of itself HJKHJKDS#and as an adaptation i thought it was like too confusing for people unfamiliar with the creepypasta but too uninterested in the details#of said creepypasta to appeal to fans of it. but it was a bit camp. a little bit#the second season was fine. it wasnt perfect but i thought it held up decently as a story and as an adaptation#i never got around to watching the fourth season. i hear it was fine#but that third season was WRETCHED i remember it being rated well as a story but it was so like. disrespectful as an adaptation#(also it was too focused on gore and blood for me at the time. like i dont mind gore but it felt so like. meaningless?)#(and i wasnt sure about its depiction of mental health at the time but maybe my opinion would change nowadays it has been a while)#like you got the rights to such a weird and surreal concept and ignored it entirely....what on earth#no baby crying loop in the middle of the wilderness alone....no stairs that cut off your arm cleaning in the woods...NOTHING#literally so tragic. @ nosleep authors and other online horror writers PLEASE watch out when giving out adaptation rights#if i remember correctly the poor search and rescue author got screwed over by syfy which is so sad 😔#also please publish some kind of paperback version of ur stories for lil ol me. pretty please#basic print on demand is fine id just love to have more creepypasta and nosleep stuff on my bookshelf LOL#also still sad theres no left right game book. blease it would be so good published BLEASE

Disclaimer: I personally have not finished TBC beyond the first book. I did finish AVOS and its back half is considered poor quality for a reason. If you aren't having fun now I can tell you right now you wouldnt enjoy the rest. At most I think (iirc) the last book is important bc it establishes Juniperclaw attacking SkyClan, and Shadowsight getting a vision to swim in the flooded lake to 'unite' the clans- both of which are relevant to TBC in some way. But even then you could probably skim to the rrlevant parts, IDK.
i'll be real when i made that post last night it was kind of out of sarcasm and pettiness, like i do think im still gonna read those last three books and skim the boring parts at the very least, but that's on me cause now when i look at the post it does come across as very whiny and serious so that's on me lmao. (and i was kinda whiny at the moment cause i always forget about how mean spirited these books are.)
buuuuut hearing what people are saying, it does make me feel a bit better for skimming the back half of avos cause i think thats what i'm gonna have to do for sanity's sake if i want to catch up. i do want to give quotes and takes that are really backed up by the books and not secondhand info so i will try to keep to it but i think if i'm gonna read about thunderclan being shitty to twigpaw then im gonna start skimming cause like, we all know they were shitty to twigpaw now, it was uncomfortable when she was a kid and its uncomfortable still now that she's an adult. you don't need to see that backed up once again.
#i really cant emphasize enough that while i like the petty melodrama i can get out of these books#some of it is really just... exhausting. especially under the new team cause i got the WORST impression of them#ill pay close attention to scenes like briarlight's death and how they regard it and see if twigpaw's treatment improves#but like the main thing abt these books that doesnt hold up is that theyre just... kinda miserable#no one learns anything and any attempt at deconstructing the clans' violence is thrown out with ''but they meant well!''#newsflash! intent doesnt always matter! actions speak louder than words!#and its especially difficult in avos cause while i dont like alderheart. no one here is treated well#i mean i think alder is treated better by the narrative compared to spark but hes gotta deal with his (lbr) emotionally abusive mentor#and the narrative twisting itself backwards to make him a victim and no one agrees with him. and i like underdog protags#but it feels so contrived and mean here. the journey cats all turning on him and demeaning him and twigpaw is so weird#it feels forced and unnecessary. woven for some drawn out conflict so he can be a victim and ooooo doesnt his sister suuuuck#and thats not even touching on the actual shit twig and violet go through. which while its kinda better its still a slog#cause at the end of the day they look directly at the camera and go ''remember! thunderclan did nothing wrong!''#theyll only admit shadowclan is wrong which is ok cause theyre the evil and pathetic clan we're supposed to hate i guess#and the ultimate conclusion is not that the clans were disgusting for treating children that way.#its that they were mistaken all along cause they were CLANBORN children all along! and now we gotta prove skyclan is a valid clan#cause if thats not a valid clan then theyre not valid cats!#and isnt that just. so much worse of a conclusion? that even after darktail was born out of the clans dismissing and mistreating outsiders#theyre not even entertaining the idea that the way they treat cats like him violet and twig isnt okay?#nope! they actually kinda call attention to it in book 3 when darktail says he and violet are alike#and its supposed to be him being wrong and manipulative and gross rather than anything meaningful#avos liveread#mail#idk. sometimes i do regret deciding to catch up cause avos is just a miserable experience so far

I'm excited for fanfest and the next xpac announcement but have become slightly afraid of 7.0 since i was talking with a friend the other day and we reached the conclusion FFXIV is at a very similar point point to where WoW was before Cataclysm 🫠🫠🫠🫠

This is gonna sound weird, but i'll forever be confused by the feedback artists get. I come across a work on ao3 and i'm like "hmm, the writing style is ordinary and the tone is lackluster, it's okay, there's effort put here so i appreciate it. I estimate this having like, 5 comments and maybe 20-something kodus" and then i look and it's got 95 comments, 500+ kodus, 80 bookmarks. And then there are works that have my soul trying to escape my body like "this is unbelievably intricate and complex and gorgeous and it's such unconventional and fresh and creative take, the writer's voice is so unique and delicate and enticing, i bet this is up there in stratosphere with the amount of feedback this has because it's so exceptional in execution" and then i look and it barely has 8 comments, maybe 20-something kodus, and it's just. It's incredibly confusing to me because i always assume that quality execution where the artist's heart is in it is obvious, other people see it like i do, and they most definitely appreciate it like i do. And there are the few people on the cusp of these two categories, people who write well and get a lot of recognition for it, good for them, but 9 out of 10 cases of good writers i stumble upon, they're practically invisible. This is less of a phenomenon in visual arts because people seem to be more freehanded with those, it's an easier medium to navigate i guess. But literature and fanfic? i'll never understand the way people navigate those. Leaving aside the "first 50 popular fics of any ao3 tag are hot dumpster fire" rule of thumb (which is very true, and the number goes higher the more popular something is), the rest of it just feels like lucky strikes to me and not really a matter of quality execution. It's not a lucky strike, it's the fact that people lean towards supporting their friends and people they love rather than judging the actual quality of the work
#which is fine i guess#like it's really about people liking the person so they love the work too and offer lots of feedback#and vice versa#it's just that i really look for quality creations and i dont really care if i'm friends with someone#my friendship with someone doesn't decide the quality of their art lmao though i WILL love them with all my heart#but the fact that people seem to only engage with and offer feedback to art whose creators they like???? infinitely baffling to me#it's weird to me because way back in my teen years i'd say ''i want my work acknowledged and loved''#and i'd be told ''honey you need to find more friends who love your work'' and i'd be like ??????#this is not a comtext of friendship i need people to acknowledge my work because there's skill in it; it's competent and it's creative#and it's good work. it's good execution of the craft#and the idea that i had to offer myself up and ''befriend'' someone and be actively available and responsive to them#just to have the good craftsmanship of my work noticed was very irritating and annoying to me. A craft is a craft; friendship and affinity#is an entirely different concept; these two shouldn't correlate imo#kinda unrelated but this is also why the concept of ''networking'' makes me barf like#''oh you need to chimmy your way in you need connections'' fuck you the quality of my work speaks for itself#i dont want to offer availability and a ''friendship'' i do not mean just to just to have my craft acknowledged it feels so intrusive#and unfair#anyway yeah. this is not hipster talk but a lot of writers and artists that i adore are more or less invisible and i'll never get it#my brain has a pre-installed ''good work is appreciated'' medule because i appreciate good work#(given the artist is a normal person and not a fucking asshole)#but to me it feels like people say ''i appreciate people and only in extension of that i appreciate the work''

I think the only people who have like solid roles are Jane who is like an Archivist, and like Red and The Walrider might be Classic Protectors tho Red is almost more of a Caretaker of sorts?

had one of them "quarterly work meetings" just now and what i have learned is that i am severely lacking in the genre of social script that dictates how to behave when first joining a group of people you will be working with regularly from that point on
#i think mostly my coworkers are all people who are fairly neurotypical and so they like. Know how to do this stuff i guess#n so i'm kinda just standing there. like a vampire. needing to be invited in for lack of practice w/these scripts#n like i briefly mentioned this in the tags of a post on my other blog yesterday but like i notice smth similar in my chem lab#it's like i'm missing the first scene of a script to a play but have the rest of it memorized blocked n ready to go#as Soon as i know that my entrance isn't like a disruption of the expected flow i'm fine!!! i can do that shit!!!!#and more recently i've been learning n mastering the opening scenes to the play of 'making online friends'#which is different from real life bc online friendship is asynchronous. realizing now that's why online/irl friendships differ sometimes#n this is also why i tend to be more actively inviting at the start of smth new like a class or semester#bc those are the periods when the ~flow~ is setting itself n if i can manage to integrate into *that* i'm good i can do this#but i don't know how to *slip in* to an existing current as an active participant. i just know how to observe n absorb#bc it's ~personal sharing time~ (lol) but like obviously being Neurodivergent(tm) i misread a lot of cues growing up#n so now the goal feels like 'transition seamlessly into thing so that you're not a despised disruption'#which is why i've become so grateful to the kinds of people who make active efforts to include new people#like. thank you communications majors. i love you communications majors. i owe you my life communications majors.#bc it's so!! 'i promise i'm not snubbing you it's just that my direct instructions were to work Here so even though you are three feet away#'literally on the other side of this wall i'm not gonna come out n initiate conversation w/you bc those are Implicit Instructions'#'/Individual Expectations that i'm too afraid of reading incorrectly but if you come talk to me i will be normal abt it i promise'#the worm speaks#like pretty frequently these days i find myself thinking abt that one post that's like#'yeah back in the olden days being a good host was a learned skill n it involved these sorts of specific things'#'like matching up n introducing guests to each other by saying 'this is x this is y you both like turtles :)'#like i feel like that's the Spirit of icebreakers these days but even if you have interests in common w/someone across the circle#it can be kind of awkward to cross the room afterwards to talk to them so you just end up talking w/whoever's nearest or no one at all

#okay so obviously i fucking loved glass onion#as of right now i'm like twenty? thirty? minutes into my rewatch and i just gotta say the (musical) theme of this movie fucking slaps#i’m partially rewatching to analyze the music (the other part is analyzing everything else lol) and i just gotta say that along with#the soundtrack being amazing#the theme is just really fucking good on it's own? that's what i like about nathan johnson's music for this movie and knives out#(i haven't heard/seen his other stuff)#that the stuff he composes for the movie function on their own as beautiful complex and just COOL pieces of music#as well as Movie Music#i will say though maybe it's just cuz i payed TOO much attention to the music the first time i watched it#i feel like andi's theme is a liiiiittle overused at the beginning? like we see her as a mysterious figure and those scenes are kinda close#together#temporally speaking within the movie those scenes take place close to each other within the run of the movie itself#and so to me it feels a tiny bit like overused but also i completely understand why it comes up each time it's on screen#like audiences aren't supposed to be picking apart the music of a movie lol they're supposed to just kind of absorb (and enjoy it) kind of#in the background subconsciously (or consciously in some cases) enhancing the film#like i said i try to pay attention to the music in movies i watch#so it could just be me paying too much attention#but personally i feel like those scenes w/ andi are very close together and it feels like that music was very on the nose like#andi's on screen! play her theme!!!!#which again i completely understand that's totally valid and honestly i'd probably do that if i was the one writing the music#it's just a personal thing#but for real the music for this movie is so fucking GOOOOOOOOODDDDD#bluebird.txt#glass onion

Huge fan of the way I choose essay titles and go absolutely batshit over doors in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde for like a month
#upon being told that we could write an essay on literally anything we liked. I chose the battle of hastings & the bayeux tapestry.#I even included pictures of postcards I’d bought at the museum there#other things I’ve Been Weird about in essays:#colloquial american english and free verse in william carlos williams poetry. I chose him from a massive list of poets for the sole reason#that i thought his name was funny. (and the topic itself was a spur of the moment thing but boy did I get invested)#William Carlos Williams’ poem Complete Destruction. I wrote an 800 word critical review of it. the entire poem is 33 words long.#the theme of love in Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill’s collection Rogha Dánta SPECIFICALLY the part where I go off on Michael Harnett translating wrong#and then offer my own translation even though - and this is very important - I speak Irish badly#the film The 400 Blows which I exclusively refer to in the original French title throughout my essay for the sole reason of bumping up my#word count. this goes twice because I did a presentation on the film AND then chose to write an essay on it too#meta and micro narrative in Frankenstein….something I did not actually understand until I was 600 words intro the essay and I was wrong.#kinda went weird about Frankenstein for a bit there but Jean-François Lyotard can eat a sock#the Oresteia. just in general though I particularly got weird about Clytemnestra. I also rewrote Antigone as a children’s story#my own post#sometimes writing an essay about something you don’t actually care about before you begin can be so personal
