Time to dig into my Spotify I haven't used in years for instrumental songs to pad out my Wren playlist between other lyrical songs because it's currently very whiplashy from "I HAVE NO CONTROL OF MY LIFE AND I WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN FOR WHAT MY HAND IS BEING FORCED TO DO" to "I love fuckiiinnn :)"

when white ppl do the whole 'if someone is 2% nonwhite then are they mixed' thing i lose my mind a bit cuz i am basically the type of mixed white person they use as a strawman. like im extraordinarily passably white and no one clocks me as mixed ever. like idk what 'percentage' i am cuz i dont fuck w that but i do lean whiter i know that much. n its funny as shit like those types a ppl would hate my ass n how i consider it
#im both white and indigenous is how i think a ot#i hate the idea that any 'percentage' of nonwhite ancestry eliminates white ancestry#like i deal w that all the time i recall when ppl on twitter would try gettim beef w me bout it#'if ur indigenous ur not white even if ur mixed' no shut up im white#both things are true#i am very much indigenous but would neber consider myself to be in an 'interracial' relationship cuz of it.#if i date a white person its a white relationship

I would put less stock into astrology if the timing of things didnât perfectly align with when stars and planets are up to shit
#technology has been failing all week?#of course mercury is in retrograde#fell and twisted my ankle today?#my horoscope says today karma comes calling and#my capacity for self-restraint is being tested#I had so many students actively defy me today#my tarot pull says trust that things are being taken care of and that I have a great boss#both things are true#on and on it goes#b rambles

Hmm... Ownership - the idea that individuals can have exclusive access to a resource, enforceable by law (the thing we made up just for that purpose). Humanity really shot ourselves in the collective foot with that one, huh?
But here we are. We're living in a collection of cultures based upon the Holy Assumption of Ownership. Cultures that increasingly push individualism at the expense of community. That increasingly value ideas and must increasingly hoard them. Life-giving food, clean water, safety, health, security are all kept hostage by the machines we've built to ensure we can extract the maximum power from the potential of ideas and skills. Machines that slowly grind human lives into a dollary pulp by the many millions, all for the sake of the Ownership that can be purchased with the remains.
Is it any wonder that the Powers That Be, built to endlessly continue the biggest game of Keep Away ever started, would offer us a tool to perpetuate the Sacrament of Ownership and then turn around and exploit that tool?
We are murdered en masse by these things, but at the same time we depend on them to keep us alive; simply destroying them would only cause more suffering and death, and may be an impossible approach to the problem anyway (despite that we might simply Forget them out of existence if we only could). Until we produce better machines that don't kill us as much, that thrive on human thriving instead of human suffering, that begin to replace the old machines, we have to do our best in This World. A world where we own resources so that others don't. Where we must assert our exclusive rights to the ideas and skills that we must sell to stay alive.
May some of those ideas eventually save us.
"copyright is good in theory" did you know that you can digitize books and then have infinite copies so in theory every book, every piece of information ever written and published could be shared across the world basically for free but any attempts to actually do this get shut down by copyright lawyers?
#both things are true#and they both suck#certainly a better world is possible#and while we build that world we still have to live in this one

you always land on all fours
#umineko#umineko spoilers#ikuko hachijo#ikukos turn for a more serious piece... the old man has reigned for too long#now. INCREDIBLY LONG INCOHERENT TAGS RANT INCOMING FAIR WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN:#it makes me so so sad how little discussion there is about specifically ikuko because imho she fits so neatly into a lot of the more#overarching Big Themes of the game in a way that i have not ever really seen people take notice of or point out in a meaningful way#like even just off of the top of my head. the significance of names and what it means to go by a name that's Not Yours (she has like 4+)#what it Means to be a witch how it represents a person's deepest insecurities and flaws & how its at its core a coping mechanism#the fact that it takes two to create a universe and trying to do it on your own anyways has the capacity to bring you intense misery#^ (how she's shown to be extremely dismissive of her own work and skill until a collaborator comes into her life and helps/encourages her)#and even the family/patriarchy/misogyny stuff that is so prevalent in the rest of the game comes back around to her. even her Only Friend#(young&stupid atp to be fair) remarks that shes Weird for being unmarried + the little she does say about her past invites the question of#to what extent her self-image stems from her family deeming her a freak outcast & effectively disowning her while celebrating her brothers#and i have lot in my mind about the witch thing specifically because i think her particular situation is very reflective of what umineko's#entire magic system and fantasy facet as a whole is meant to represent for an individual. from what little we see of (what is presumably)#her Real personality she is shown to be deeply self conscious in a way that is JARRINGLY diametrically opposed to both 1.) what we see in#featherine and 2.) what we see when she is acting as a Public Figure. because both of the above are very much purposeful acts that she is#putting on in order to obfuscate her true self. and i have always been very resolute & adamant about not totally equating her to featherine#not only because im very firmly in the camp of âfeatherine is the avatar of the Pen Name & tohya is part of her tooâ but also very much b/c#i feel very strongly that the stark differences between the two are very centrally relevant to her character & her psyche. as is the case#with most other witches featherine's personality traits serve to reveal/magnify a lot of ikukos inner workings by playing on her#insecurities/reversing them e.g. ikuko being very quick to downplay her skill/achievements becomes featherine being the COMPLETE opposite#to the point where she barely registers even other witches as living beings rather than just fun touys. BUT even though i do champion the#ikuko/featherine separation so hard i ALSO think it is purposefully relevant that at first glance the line between them seems so blurry#her introduction implying a more nebulous separation between her reality/fantasy counterpart is i think is an intentional move on her part#like it is part of the front she is putting up when acting as the Author. as opposed to Ikuko the person who we (in a way ironically very#similar to the way that the Real Battler is presumably only shown during the boatscene) only very briefly get to see take up screentime#which even on a meta level lines up very well with her apparent underlying nature as a like. extremely private largely reserved/shy person#hit tag limit but if by some miracle anyone is still reading this thank you... please see ikuko with the love she deserves... ok ily byeee

People like to characterize human Spongebob as some waifish barely 20 years old looking twink but honestly I think he'd be more like Pat from the UK version of Ghosts.


The shorts, the passion for what he does and his craft, the dorky glasses, the positive and all forgiving attitude, the knee high socks, the love of nature and the outdoors, the tie, the love for his friends and family, the shoes, the love of pranks, the OVERALL WHOLESOMENESS AND GOOD NATURE
#I REALLY like Pat and i was gushing about it to my irl bestie who pointed out how much overlap he has with spongebob somehow#its so true now that I've noticed it???#hmm subconscious pattern seeking brain#i actually like this more than twinkbob the human designs#this feels more human#if you couldn't tell i binged ghosts this weekend cuz i was snowed in#i really liked it! My bestie froskii introduced me to the show and we watched the first and second seasons together sometime last year#i just decided i would finish it#im getting off topic but i do like it when human spongebob is drawn more âuglyâ like slightly overweight nerdy bad haircut things like that#i admit though i find it cuter on him than actually making him stereotypically attractive thin anime-boy. that is actually a turn off#making him âprettyâ feels so sterile. I like when he's not. it makes him feel more real#and also i do feel like spongebob would be older!#squid and pat both attended community college so i doubt they'd be anywhere near their early 20s#mid to late 20s or even older#the spongebob connoisseur#spongebob squarepants#spongebob#sb#spongebon squarepants#spongebob meme#ghosts#bbc ghosts#ghosts uk#pat butcher#patrick butcher#jim howick

There's so much wrong with "everyone is a little bit autistic"
Yes, allistic people might know a lot of facts about the things they like. Yes, allistic people might get a bit overwhelmed or underwhelmed sometimes. Yes, allistic people might not get an expression sometimes, mostly if it's the first time they hear it.
That doesn't make them autistic.
Those traits only make someone autistic when they become disabling. Because, big shock, autism is a disability. Yeah, even if someone is low support needs, because that doesn't mean they don't need any support at all.
Saying "everyone is a little bit autistic" is like saying "everyone struggles with this, so suck it up, you have no right to need help". Which is just pure ableist bullshit. It denies the fact that autistic people have higher support needs than NTs, no matter where in the autistic spectrum they are. We're not "neurospicy", we're disabled, and denying this fact is denying us the right to get the help we need, we deserve, to have a good life.
(yes, this rant is just because I made the awful decision of listening to "neurospicy (interlude)" by Jax. honestly I'd rather be called a slur than listen to that shit again.)
#for this disability pride month burn an ableist person's house#that's what makes you a true disability ally trust#btw with nts i mean mostly abled nts but i didnt know how to word it ;w;#and before anyone says anything im just fine with people calling themselves neurospicy#what i have a problem with is when NTs use it as a way to invalidate neurodivergent people's struggles#or to infantilise nds#or both#autism#actually autistic#neurodivergent#neurodiversity#neurodiverse stuff#autistic#neurodivergency#autistic experiences#autistic things#actually autism#ableism#ableist language cw#tw ableist language#tw ableism#neurospicy (interlude)#disabled pride month#disability pride month#wrath month#(<-just tagging that bc it's accurate since im currently pretty pissed off)

I've never been more normal in my life.
[First] Prev <â-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#jin zixuan#jiang yanli#Both LWJ and JZX are failing so miserably at the deception check in this scene.#The maneuvers are wild. I am putting them into a petri dish.#LWJ yelling at the guy he's madly infatuated with. Who is earnestly asking what's wrong and trying to bridge the gap between you.#Absolute fumble. No wonder WWX is fully convinced this guy hated him. LWJ was dropping all the wrong signs.#No really. If you have a fraught relationship with someone and they yell at you -#-You can't really walk back from that. All you can do is go 'Oh I make this person *miserable* huh?' and leave them be.#And JIN ZIXUAN. My GUY. What were you doing here? Was it nerves?#Like go you for knowing so many snake facts (that is real by the way I didn't make that up).#And true. Some people really do go wild for knowledge dumps. I am assigning JYL as one of those people. To help him recover the fumble.#JZX being a little bit (a lot bit) lame is probably the best thing for his character. I like him just a bit more for this.

reminding everyone that the in-universe problem with The Doctor and The Master isnât âooo horrible nasty enemies who hate each other and donât get along and fight all the time but are also in loveâ
the problem is that they get along. the problem is that they canât stop themselves from falling naturally into a rhythm of riffing off one another and enjoying the otherâs company. THAT is the problem. the problem is that it works and thatâs the thing that caused all their issues. they like one another. they just click.

#doctor who#thoschei#the doctor and the master#the master#twissy#theyâre also the two worst people on the planet(s) l#lol#itâs the person you canât help having chemistry with#they almost donât have a choice#they both know it too#sometimes one of them will pretend it isnât true but it is itâs the very much mutually understood truth#the problem is they just like one another a lot#not even in a romantic way#even tho itâs romantic lol#they just LIKE one another !!!#what was that thing stephen moffat said#companions bring it up all the time too. it doesnât make sense why the doctor lets them get away with so much. it frustrates every companio#when they see that the truth of the matter is that the doctor just LIKES the Master#the two kids every teacher sits intentionally far far far away from one another lmao

i CANNOT stress enough how incompatible the themes of these two pieces of media are. i promise my media literacy ability is actually good im well aware that these character mappings are absolutely nothing. that said. play with me in this space. in this sopping wet miserable space. its bad luck to kill a piou piou

original screenshots (and hypnosis 1904) for reference
#'oh but both of them are about isolation' NOT THE SAME KIND OF ISOLATION THEY AINT#in stars and time#isat#in stars and time fanart#isat fanart#isat siffrin#isat loop#lucabyteart#sifloop#I SUPPOSE. THEYRE DANCING THEYRE HUGGING ITS FINE. IT COULD MEAN NOTHING. THE LIGHTHOUSE (2019) HAS THEMES. OF AN ILK. I WOULD SAY.#anyway yes these r redraws of scenes from robert eggers' The Lighthouse. a film i would consider diametrically thematically opposed to isat#something something ⨠You're fond of my crab arent you stardust?#yeah thats the best i got here. im just having fun with pictures. this does straight up mean nothing. like at all. theres like 3 things#that you could draw as parallels and theyre Very strained. its like 1. preoccupation w the ocean (but in very different ways)#2. both are abt isolation (but in very different ways)#3. wanting to fuck a bright source of light. sorry i mean the third one is only a parallel if you have a specific reading of Tom#that is spoilers and may or may not be true. also theyre both in black and white. this means nothing#(now. if anything. if you wanted to map isat onto an eggers' movie id say its nosferatu. like. it at least has someone calling out to the#forces unknown for a companion & being accepted and loved despite literally embracing the physical embodiment of your shame....#that said if youve watched nosferatu you also know this mapping is utterly nuts. im sending isabeau into the catacombs to go burn the rats#everyones vampire aus are cute but whos out here coding loop as count orlok hm? . and odile as willem dafoe i guess?#this falls apart quickly and is not a serious suggestion i just want to point out the bar for 'being more relevant to isat than#the lighthouse' is is like. a VERY low bar.)#anyway made sif more visibly afrocarribean since if im drawing them realistically im not making them particularly white passing.#ESPECIALLY NOT WHEN IM DRAWING OVER ROBERT PATTERSON OF ALL PEOPLE.... LMAO...
