Poverty, poverty knock / Keeping one eye on the clock / I know I can guttle, when I hear my shuttle / Go poverty, poverty knock...
...so I read @nothwell's novel 'mr warren's profession' at approximately light speed the other day and felt like drawing some of the cast.
#em draws stuff#mr warren's profession#tagging l to r as usual#miss brewster#<- she doesn't even have a first name but she's a major character in my heart.#emmeline rook#lindsey althorp#aubrey warren#vibes on this one visually are '1890s from memory but other eras have crept in because that's not my usual setting'#and the backgrounds are scanned (text) and traced (flourishes) from 1893 newspapers from my college!#which is why I posted maybe ten different screenshots from old newspapers t'other day. They're Fun.#this was a rather interesting read for me because this is not at all my usual genre of choice as I am probably not the intended audience#(to wit: quite ace)#but also I've never really seen an author do this thorough a fictional portrayal of so many various threads of 19thc queerness before#it's a motivation like any other and I think that's executed very well! and also of course I Do like to hear in great detail about textiles#and mills and looms and analytical engines!!!#more commentary wrt choice of character... we have both My Very Favorites and also we have The Protagonists.#the protagonists oughtn't be forgotten despite my instant and known affection for a union-organiser in a flat cap#you know how it is with union-organisers in flat caps :]

ngl i think the way chizuchan calls renren by his first name (when she doesn’t do it with p much everyone else) is really cute~~~
#(top panel’s from ch8; bottom panel’s from ch9: both panels were shoddily tled on mobile so~~~ whoops~~~?)#her calling aizo ‘aizo’ is excusable since he’s an idol and that’s the name he debuted with (aizo of lxl)#but. like. she calls hiyori ‘suzumi-san’ and juri ‘hattori-san’ (iirc… i think she called juri ‘hattori’ in honeypre though…)#and discounting her customers (whom she addresses by their cafe nicknames) and concon (who she addresses by her twt un)#renren’s the one person she calls by first name and i think that’s really precious actually~~~~#the fact that they’re going on an oshikatsu date is so funny thoughhhh bc. like. why would you want lxl merch 3rd and 4th wheeling your date#aaaaaaa i wanna read ch9 soooooo baddddddd lol id be insufferable for at least 3 days once it’s free from regionlock#but~~~~~~ judging from how the chapter-only ver of ch8’ll be out in april… i think ch9 will be freed in like. late june/early july earliest#l o r d i hope we get a bonus comic about how chizuren attended the recent lxl solo concert and watched the meoto dance#ik it’d never happen but. man. it’d be so funny if they did#and this manga’s no stranger to the hilariously *strange* after all (see: ch4) so~~~~ im gonna delusionally hope~~~~~~#aaaaaa vol 3 w h e n i wanna see chizuren again~~~~~~~~~#chizuutan chizpost

"the michael kandel translation of "the witcher" short story can't hurt you!!"
the michael kandel translation of "the witcher" short story:
#WE HERE IN K L O T H S T U R#the witcher books#[ Nobody liked that. ]#i like how the first two 'main' translations (like published for mass market circulation ones i mean)#were like 'no we can't call it a strzyga... no no...'#(maybe like: 'the english readers won't understand...')#and then when the game and book hit (i.e. both beginning with geralt fighting the striga)#everyone was like 'whoa that striga was really cool'#idk idk enough about it yet to say anything definitively#but my experience and all the other reviews and experiences i've read#from other anglophone readers with no prior exposure to polish or broader slavic myth or culture#has been just like: 'whoa i never knew about that... that's really unique and cool'#and on the flip side. originally witcher gained popularity in part because of the familiarity of the fairy tale#and so despite that witcher in general takes a lot of everything from across europe#if i may just summarize it really obtusely and without taking the precaution of nuance and all#although the first two translations were very much intended to feature polish writers and writing#in the way of the actual translation it feels like they tried to diminish its 'polishness' for the english reader#like for example in chosen by fate itself there are no diacritics (though idk maybe that was a lack of capability of the printing press)#it FEELS like that i'm not saying it was intentional but#for example when you don't say 'leshies' and instead say 'bugbears' that feels like diminishing it#but then later when the witcher's quote-unquote 'polishness' is allowed to come through clearer#then it actually is part of why english audiences were like whoa this is interesting i like it :)#you know real-life events are stories too. and i feel like this is a story with a good moral: 'be yourself'#this is also one of the prime subjects where i disagree with sapkowski lol#because re: 'death of the author' theory type stuff. authors cannot control how their works are interpreted by their audiences#works get interpreted on their own fortunately or unfortunately#so though i think it would be misled to engage with the witcher as if its ONLY good quality is its 'polishness'#i think that also it should be acknowledged how its unique take on culture made it appealing to both domestic and foreign audiences#i think where the problem lies is when we believe it can't be both polish and a blend of multiple cultures and traditions#because like yeah. author is an arthurian weeb

So I often got injured and that guy from that middle school took care of me
5: He was so good at treating injuries that in my school they called him the “super manager”

Pag 15
2: Ah, by the way, what's today's practice menu?

Sooo... I was looking through the KingPop inboard and found the more ~exciting~ pins, and before I knew it, I started thinking of more NSFW KingPop thoughts... Mainly what happens when Poppy gets needy 😅 I'm probably gonna regret this when I'm not half asleep. Feel free to ignore this if you want. But I couldn't keep these to myself 😅
Poppy is a lady, yes. But that doesn't mean she doesn't get sexually frustrated or pent up like everyone else. And with a guy like King? I can imagine he lights a fire in her that her previous relationships haven't. So she and King are definitely going to have a honeymoon phase even before they're married.
This would especially be apparent when they're still long distance. King being a 4 hour drive from her (in modern times with modern cars and highways mind you! So who knows how long it was back then) means she can't exactly see him whenever she wants. She can call him! But it's not the same as being able to wake up in the morning next to him or being able to kiss him before work... Or him being able to touch her. All she has is her imagination and books to keep herself company.
Which would have led to her eventually starting to call Kinston just to hear his voice. She genuinely misses him! But she also really likes his voice. It's perfect when she's in the mood and he's not there. At the beginning stages of their relationship, she'd be pretty shy about admitting this. But I'm sure Kingston would be able to hear her breathy tone or notice how she seems almost ~distracted~ over the phone 😏
When she eventually moves in with him, she has a lot of time on her hands now (whether she's a stay at home wife now or if she's taking a break from work to get settled in this new stage of the relationship). And Kingston has his work to do for lord knows how long. Now that she's here and they can finally be together without using phones, she really wants to be around him. Not even in a sexual way more often than not; she just wants to be able to enjoy his presence now. But yes, she also really needs him. She'll try to work off her energy around the house, sprucing things up here and there (on the topic, what kind of house do the Roo's live in? They're rich and in Vegas. Is it like a suite? Is it a mansion???) And getting her things unpacked... But when the fire is lit, there's not much that can put it out 😅
(And yes, this will continue on no matter how long they've been together. Poppy is in love with everything about this man and thinks he's hot as hell. Nothing is cooling her heart.)
More than likely, Poppy is going to try to satisfy herself, or at least until Daddy gets home. She might even grab one of his old shirts to wear/snuggle into if she's really needy (it feels like he's here with her). Or she may call Kingston up at work and now actually engage in phone sex (unless King would just zip home himself XD)... And if this is Rena x Kingston x Poppy, she might use one of the toys Rena has and pretend its Kingstons cock or Rena and her strap. If she hears the car pull into the driveway while she's in the middle of things, she's going to get messily dressed- throwing on whatever she can, even if it's just the oversized shirt- so she can at least properly greet her spouse... note though that I said if she hears it 😏
Kingston (and/or Rena 👀) will know that Poppy is desperate when she actually shows up to their work. She called them up and offered to bring lunch/dinner over since they'll be working late, and she did bring food! They can eat in his office(?)... But when Poppy takes off her coat (or King takes it off for her- if he did, she would m e l t), and Kingston is gonna see she's wearing his favorite red dress. The one she puts on that tells him all systems are a go~ she doesn't make any suggestions, she doesn't lock the door behind them. It's his choice if they're going to get busy here... And if he decides no, then at least she got to have a lovely meal with her husband and see his face light up when she came in ^^ (regardless if anything happens or not, i can imagine Poppy's going to be pretty flustered. Especially the first time this happened; she's really that down bad for the aussie that she was willing to risk his employees hearing them 😅)
Speaking of the red dress, something a bit more wholesome. Yes, all of the Poppy ships make her feel beautiful, and she knows herself that she's cute (she will weaponize the cuteness for emergencies XD). But Kingston is one of the ships that make her feel like she can be sexy. She can pull off the red dress and turn heads- his head. She wants to be the minx that'll drive him crazy. She starts to feel extra confident with Kingston, and lets that side of herself out more with him. She's still classy, and she prefers to keep her love life private (for the most part, as you see above), but Kingston gets to see a part of herself she wasn't even sure she had before.
And, of course, the 'ol classic; Poppy dressing up in whatever outfit she thinks will catch her husband's attention (the red dress, a silk chemise... nothing-), and wait for him to come home in their room. I'll let you fill in the blanks XD
Alright, something fluffy/feelsy to cleanse the sin 😅 i can't believe i didn't touch up on this before, but Poppy thinks Kingston is pretty smart- impulsive sure, and he has trouble with numbers. But she doesn't understand why he sees himself as dumb. She'd do everything she can to help him with this insecurity he has. Heck, if he wants to get better at numbers, math is one of her strong points! She can teach him! ^^
- DarlingPassion
DARLINGPASSION RETURNS!!
And oh my god oh my god this stuff is golden 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 I'm not even gonna lie- that last one REALLY GOT TO ME VAJSNALAOABSGSOAP Poppy!!! Kingston needs you 💕💕💕 And King makin her feel sexy?? THAT IS ALL HE WANTS!! Oh my god. King, give yourself a pat on the back. Job well done.
Also also- 'regardless if anything happens'!?? KING'S IS AS PERPETUALLY HORNY AS RENA IS. As if there's even a possibility that he will not be all over his sweet (HOT) bunny wife in half a second if she gave him an inkling. Pft. XD
Thank you so so much for these XD So much fun to get off work and read!!!
#as for where they live- i've been picturing a town house 🤔#a big one#also I JUST REALISED ONE OF THE EXCERPTS YOU SAVED ONTO THAT BOARD IS FROM A BOOK I REALLY#R E A L L Y#CANT WAIT TO READ THIS WEEK#its about an age gap employee/employer romance#in which the boss is called CALAHAN AND HAS GREY HAIR#and the book is called legally binding XD

supervisor asked me to make some "minor adjustments" to this graph as if the code that creates this graph isnt held together by sweat and tears and prayers. it took me two days to write these 14 lines of code and get them to a state where they function at all and now you want me to change things? hmpf
#nina.txt#i also got the feeling that they lowkey need me to make this graph picture perfect now#when none of the other graphs or even the general formatting is set in stome#is bc they dont really know how to make this graph either#(not blaming them bc the data is pretty different from what they usually work with)#but like. 'can you quickly add some city names?' ive been trying for hours now and i cant get it to work#unless i mess up the rest of the graph and. you cant even read the names l#and i cant figure out why half of the code breaks the second i try to add the city names#ive even made a slightly adjusted dataset and copy+pasted the code i used for my original graph and. it looks completely different?#like the legend just disappears? its the same code??#you know i love r studio but also fuck r studio

"i read the wiki and i saw the pages/panels already, why do i need to read the comics?"
because a) some those comics fuck with awing dexterity and stamina b) there's a good chance shit is out of context or simply misrepresented (innocently, humorously, ignorantly or maliciously) and c) you know the beats/endings of tons of shit, but it doesn't impede your enjoyment of it, now does it? sure it's nice to go in spoiler free, but if the gimmick of spoiling material is all a piece of media has, then that piece of media is meritless. you knew who luke skywalker's father was before you saw the movie. is it still worth watching? you knew romeo and juliet died before you read the play. is it still worth reading? do you not want to go on a journey? do you not want to feel something? do you not want to commiserate about the human experience through art? a wiki will never be comprehensive enough to cover everything you would have read or seen yourself--it can't be, not without being the thing itself. even then, you still miss the things not on the page/screen, the things that are only implied, the things that go unstated, or else conspicuously omitted. don't talk to me about shit haunting the narrative if the only haunting you've ever been apart of was your passing despite your dogshit analysis skills haunting the conscience of your eng 101 adjunct professor in perpetual fear of losing their contract and being relocated from their car to under a bridge by demanding college students demonstrate basic reading comprehension, critical thinking, and coherent argumentative skills. boast about killing the author? my friend, you are cain advancing in the fields, skulking, stepping in abel's footprints, filled with murderous intent, with nothing but the chinese telephone-equivalent of a description of a weapon cutting into your soft palms.
#lmfao me#capeshit#thinking about that panel where blown-out-back damian is screaming at dick that he's crazy and he caused [all this]#that was used as an example of damian being a little shit#when it literally was all dick's fault bc he dipped a corpse in the green juice and that corpse tried to kill damian#do i know all the major beats of nightwing 1996? yes. spoiled to hell and back. did i get jerked around by emotions at multiple points#and cry like a bitch when dick tried to comfort aaron in the wreckage of the their apartment complex? i sure as fuck did! big ol' emotions.#the thing is you can read that scene on a wiki you can see it isolated on your screen but you will lack so. much.#the thing is comics are a visual medium. so much is said merely in the positioning the juxtaposition of panels.#like in venn diagram. what the FUCK was that. i don't know. but you sure as fuck won't find it on a wiki. but my eyes saw it!#ask ten people to describe a facial expression in a photo or explain why someone did something in a short story excerpt#and very quickly you will or should notice something disconcerting. you could be getting your information from any of those ten.#what did you see? what did you read? why. fucking argue about it like god intended.#yes indeed god gave humans free will to argue about their blorbos their specialist boys on the internet.#c o n s u m e t h e o r i g i n a l m e d i a n o t p r o d u c t s a n d a e s t h e t i c s
