#Are you announcing your work now?

The disrespect this show gets on a daily basis, from the production to the network(s) to even the pirates who prefer to rip shows like *checks notes* Big Brother Canada (same group)...
I wouldn't be calling them out if I hadn't done this myself, by the way. People who have never ripped a damn thing can stay in their lane. I have earned my stripes, I'm not someone who wants to talk shit about those who do this, and I understand the process involved. The webrips are a different story, as they are uploaded by Amazon whenever. The HDTV rips should be uploaded on time, shortly after the network airs the show, and it's the same process as it always has been to rip them. Uploading HDTV rips after the webrips has no value whatsoever, unless someone cares that much about the promo, which of course CityTV doesn't care enough to upload themselves, proving once again what a shitty network they are.
Hudson and Rex has an international fanbase, it shouldn't be so difficult to be able to watch it as an international fan in 2024.
#hudson and rex#this is now a whining blog#but what else can it be when nothing about this show is working as intended#I've been torrenting since 2005#I've never had the misfortune of having to wait as long as I wait for this show through all these years#last season it took them three days to upload the season five premiere hdtv rip#the rip times are unbelievably inconsistent and they have been that way since this saw first caught my eye (season two)#the fact that there is a single group that does the hdtv rips means that if for whatever reason they can't upload it then we don't have it#the webrips are actually being ripped by one of the best groups out there so I can't complain#it's just that the streaming upload by amazon happens whenever they feel like it#once again I'm drawing similarities between canadian and greek programming which is so not in their favor#(I actually thought that by the time I'd finished writing this we'd have something but nope)#(ps I just saw a rip announce of family feud canada and I just... does someone actually hate hudson and rex?)#(pps do not respond to this if you live in a country where your government is actively combating piracy)

i saw an abba cover band tonight and honestly most of the performance was spent imagining what im sure is some absolutely insane interpersonal drama
#the performance was. fine the band carried it though#I JUST WORK IN ARTS AND CULTURE AND NOW IM A SNOB. I WORK IN A THEATER AND IN A LIVE MUSIC VENUE SO I HAVE OPINIONS.#their mixing was. strange right at the top one of the singers was clearly not getting enough of her own vocals in her monitor#FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY? HAZE NOTICE?? NOTHING????#so her voice sounded really strained. which is something they should have fixed in soundcheck.#she slayed at the winner takes it all though ill give her that#this has just turned into me complaining but whatever#one guy on acoustic guitar who was doing The Least#the keys guy was pretty good#the other singer was. fine#the musicians though they really killed it theyre clearly insanely talented#and i just. why abba covers? i mean power to you chase your bliss and all that but they were clearly professionals and Really Fuckin Good#NO PRESHOW ANNOUNCEMENT EITHER. HOW LONG IS THE SHOW? IS THERE AN INTERMISSION? WHERE ARE YOUR EMERGENCY EXITS?#also i was a bit grumpy bc my voice is too low for a lot of abba :( and im not good enough to just. match the key or harmonize on the spot#except for the 'super trouper' bits i can do those#my tags are out of order and i cant fix them. goodnight.

#okay like sue me. sometimes i google 'neioo' just because im a nosey bitch and want to see if anyone is talking about my fics#(i just got a comment on awh and like it makes me nostalgic etc. whatever. wanted to see if anything posted somewhere prompted it)#and i havent done this in a while#so please tell me why. WHY am i cited in someone's fucking PhD dissertation#yes the paper overall is about fandom and examining hetalia in particular so it's not like out of left field#but there are two fics total cited and mine is one. AND also there is a post from my fucking neioo blog cited???#like my book announcement one??#and neither of these are cited directly in the dissertation just at the end#so now i feel like im going a bit insane but like okay#i have work i need to be doing and i was reading this fucking dissertation instead#wish i could turn to 15 year old me and be like 'hey there champ. you know that fic series youre day dreaming in your head#that you don't want to write down because you think no one will read it#good stuff. anyway. one day it'll be cited in a dissertation#oh and your grandmother will have read it. have a good day'#...............well. now i need to focus back on work

(utterly deranged) what if i started over and tried a comic format instead. much to think about
#would try to still keep the interactive ask blog elements though. i love audience participation#activity has been slow because of the art rut. and the hyperfixation shifted away some. but im thinking about it#this is a story i do still want to tell. but things get outdated fast when youre working with an unfinished source. so maybe ill hold off#a little longer#so i guess this technically is an official hiatus announcement...?#anyways hope you had or are having fun up to this point. ill try my best to not discard this accidentally. but for now i am being insaneLOL#mod post

[clears throat and taps the mic] so some of you might have noticed that we decided against doing a seeded bracket! that's because we realised (quite late) that doing byes would Not Work in a bracket as large as one we had planned.
instead, in order to fit the 256 amazing art pieces that were submitted, we made a straight 256 bracket instead! this way we didn't have to cut out an exorbitant amount of art. it's a win!
this DID mean that we had to make some sacrifices and hard decisions on where to place the higher seeds, but we tried our best to give the underdogs a real chance.
at this point in time, the best thing you can do is to make propaganda! start typing up heated essays! create a very convincing PowerPoint! just rant in the inbox!
#art that fucks you up tournament#announcement#mod cal#if we get any sort of negative stuff though it will be deleted instantly#when we stay propaganda we mean uplifting your piece not trashing the other one.#but now. it's silly time :)#WHO'S HYPE FOR POLLLSS!!!!!!#i'm working on drafting them up rn so we should be ready to post the actual polls in the next couple of days!

You will be missed so dearly.
It's like a hole has been torn into very structure of the station, and we're all just standing around it reeling from the shock.
It was good to cry with everyone. It was good to put up black ribbons. It will be good to say to curious outside voices, "We are in mourning, please do not badger us."
A man missing forever.
You had the brightest future ahead of you. You would have risen to be one of the greatest. You already were for us.
I will miss you dearly. We weren't personal friends, but we were colleagues, and I will forever cherish every minute I got to work with you. Your dry humour was the highlight of many a day. Your work ethics set an example I want to follow. You lived and breathed medicine, you were loyal, 100% dependable at all times, smart, diligent, literally wise beyond your years - what do you mean, I was a DECADE your senior?? Also the absolute funniest person around, no contest. Driest humour. Wittiest comments.
I wanted to listen to you talk more and I wanted to learn from you more. I can't believe I won't get to.
You were indispensable, and I think that hole in the structure will remain. We'll learn to live with it. With something being blown out in a blast. It's good to clear the rubble together, I think this helps.
I'm crying again.
Rest in peace.
#mourning#death cw#soryuchan's personal issues#maybe this sounds overly dramantic but when you work what we do your colleagues become your comrades in arms become your family of sorts#also that might be my personal hangups but it was so validating that grown men could just openly cry and sob and hug without judgement#it's good to mourn together#better would be not having to mourn at all#i can't believe this#also my heart goes out to the station chiefs who had to keep it a secret for several hours to prepare a less chaotic announcement#they pretended business as usual and i was only wondering WHY one of them seemed so curt and angry on the phone with me#turns out it wasn't anger at me at all but someone trying not to break down shouldering the responsibility of no chaos breaking out#it's good i was sick in bed when the announcement came bc i know myself. i would have put the car off the road in shock probably#damn why why why why why i can't believe this#also very validating to share the feeling of 'no I'm fully expecting the car door to open and him jumping out right now'#honestly it's so good to have someone to mourn with#daaaaamn this is all so unfair#going through the motions of posting my remaining whumptober stuff for formality's sake now#but then i will need a break from everything

terribly sorry for progressively getting more and more annoyed and tired with jn. this show kinda gets a lot more exhausting on a rewatch when you know its not going to get better
#i think what happened when it was airing was that like. it was the direct successor to sun and moon right?#and that was a show EVERYONE shat on when it got revealed. the setting the art change the shift to a goofier style etc etc#but then it aired and aside from some hiccups while adjusting the first few eps- sm turned out to be a joy of a show#not just for a casual watch- you can tune on most episodes without context and just have a pleasant time bc its a cozy show#but also if youre more into the battle scene bc this series kinda goes hard on them#and while the episodes had a goofier tone to them the episodes never felt like they were talking down to its audience#everyone brings up the deaths and how maturely they were handled but seriously- they didnt need to go that hard on the minior episode#and yet- it took fans a long time to really come around to it and stop giving it bad faith criticism#the most popular youtubers were finding every excuse to shit on it and mock the fans#so i think when jn was announced with another slight art shift and a different format- i think we all got a little defensive over it#like hey sm had hiccups too! jn just needs some time to grow into itself and find its footing#and we had no reason to think it wouldn’t. like there were some red flags like how mimey was handled and some clickbait episodes#but we got genuinely nice episodes back then too! the scorbunny eps were neat and ash and gohs intro eps are great#the pichu opening is REALLY strong and i thought it showed a ton of promise for the show#the leon and eternatus stuff was being set up#so i waited for jn to pick up and waved off a lot of criticism as bad faith bc hey. ppl were ruthless to sm and forgetting that we do have t#to work with the limit that its a childrens series. which is fine.#but well…… suddenly we’re in the final arc and its not better. its worse. holy shit did it get worse#episodes like the drizzile one were now the exception. not the rule.#most episodes that are pleasant on a first watch became an absolute slog on a rewatch#the ‘’fanservice’’ feels more like a marketing ploy than an attempt to respect the characters. the production value was a goddamn mess.#entire arcs went unresolved#so it gave me rose tinted glasses until it all fell apart at once for me at the end#but now i have the joyful experience of watching the whole thing through knowing damn good and well it gets worse. yay#echoed voice#jn lb

mandatory gender reporting time of the semester love that for me ! 🚫🙅♂️👎
#i'm sorry but the idea that in texas someone would be comfortable announcing they use they/them pronouns to an audience of 50 people#it was like. pass the index card with your info on it to the person next to you and *that* person introduces you 💀#in texas??? hello??#are we really 100% confident the person next to us who we've just met would represent us with respect#love the optimism here but.#had i explained my whole deal i would have been the only one to do so.#also the only woman. woman adjacent person. whatever. with short hair. hhjkkkk#like one (1) person in this class is slightly gnc. slightly#it's already like spot the homosexual in here and it's not hard to spot the homosexual#okay it wasn't 50 it was more like 30 my point stands it felt like a lot of people#it truly is hitting me i'm going to go into my field constantly having to either pick a work gender or say to everyone i meet Immediately#hi i'm abi i have a complex relationship with my gender!#you wanna hear about my complex relationship with my family next? my medical history? how about discussing the undiagnosed autism#let's do a deep dive on my sexuality after that when we get to know each other well enough to trade the tamest stories about our exes#feel like a bug specimen under a magnifying glass trying to go about my day#this is why i grew my hair out in the first place i remember now

#holy shit i hate the fb groups so much#like do NOT tell people dont speculate as if its something bad#we're left with nothing but speculation#you wake up one day and they tell you good morning btw this person is gone anyway bye#and youre just supposed to say ah ok i see thay sucks#??#obviously the friends and family sre a priority and its way too early to tell the fans anything#but i hava the right to wonder why and how and like. why#it's a natural response to seek closure#and you have a bunch of people who are like oooohhh you can't speculate thats baaaad if friends and family want to share at some point they#will#like shut up dude#i dont claim we have a right to know about what happened because we really dont and this is truly up to the people close to him#and in the end if they want they can also lie#but we do have the right to wonder why something like this happened so suddenly wnd out of nowhere#ranting because i hate it when people tell you it's unethical to ask questions about something even if its just thinking out loud#as an emotional response#like how the fuck do you guys think I'll process this#with this dry and vague announcement#if it works for you great but for me it doesnt really#i know because its been 3h now and im still waiting for them to maybe say something more about it#logically its not going to happen so soon but still

save me old flipnote studio MVs.......
#im going thru old flipnotes i used to watch years ago and ouggghhg so many good ones#is twenty one pilots still popular.... do people still remember the TRNDSTTER and marble soda meme.........#its like im unlocking some sort of primal part of my brain and everything is coming back to me. one of my biggest inspirations as a kid#i still remember thinking the final transmission lyrics were the coolest thing and watching =TopHat= Bee and Melissa over and over#theres a very specific feeling of longing and nostalgia looking back and watching these again years later#especially when there isnt anything genshin or mcyt and instead its either fnaf undertale eddsworld or another obscure#interest... and not even fnaf sister location its like fnaf 3 and 2. its THAT old. and a lot of oc MVs especially pokemon ocs and furries..#god but they were so creative u know. i still find it amazing ppl took this little lightbox animation on the fucking NINTENDO DS and#cranked it all the way to 11.. like if u look at the transitions and movement its so fucking fluid its insane..!! HOW DO YOU MAKE THE#CHARACTERS SPIN??? AND CHANGING CAMERA ANGLES??? and keep in mind youre doing this all with a shitty stylus#on a THREE BY TWO INCH SCREEN. you only get two layers you can go up to 29FPS and you only have 999 slides to work with#and 24FPS eats up a lot of that. absolutely insane it literally boggles my mind every time i think about it. AND SOME ARE EVEN FULL COLOR#i forgot how popular EDM was back then too...they were really good for timing beats though so you get a lot of MVs with#strobe last and marble soda. porter robinsons goodbye to a world was also popular with undertale and oc MVs. also a lot of vocaloid#someone made a flipnote abt the warner bros fnaf movie being announced EIGHT FUCKING YEARS AGO. it even used the stay calm audio from#the office.... i wonder how theyre doing now... i love you shitty grainy MV audio.. but i have mixed feelings abt the flashing colors#ppl LOVED animating the sans vs frisk fight. aishite and primadonna were also big ones they were SICK AS FUCK#lots of these inspired my old oc designs.. a lot of my characters had side bangs with one eye covered. animal ears and simple eyes too#now i kinda wanna try my hand at the marble soda meme cause i loved it as a kid lol.. i wonder if i should compare my old and new art here#UGHHHH IM SO NORMAL ABOUT NOSTALGIA. IM SO NORMAL ABT MY SCHOOL BOOK DRAWINGS WITH SHIBA BROWS#yapping#nostalgia

hmm. had an actual conversation with nightmare coworker today that seemed mutually productive. she apologized for saying some bullshit that hurt my feelings and i clarified that my intentions are to help not to undermine her, and we both agreed that there's no competition against each other and that it's the lack of growth in our role that's the problem. it was...productive.
and further cementing for me that it is time to begin making my Exit. i will be sending out my resume to a few places this weekend.
i'm still processing the conversation, and am struggling to place myself in where i am responsible to better my behavior. because i genuinely don't want to be an ass, even though i really don't like this lady and will jump for joy the day i never have to see her again. she stated that she knows my intentions aren't to hurt her, and that she thinks i'm very kind. i apologized for if my behavior came off as undermining her, and said that my intentions are only to better my own growth—and that i know she's trying to succeed too. i validated her feelings, and complemented the effort she is putting in.
where i'm struggling with is: am i in the wrong/causing harm and needing to change if the issue is that her feelings are incongruent with what she knows of my intentions? her feelings are her responsibility (WOW i almost typed "her feelings are my responsibility". i feel like that's a freudian slip) and she states that she knows i don't mean to hurt her. i'm going to try to be more clear in wording my intentions with her (she feels like me trying to take work off her plate is to undermine her. when really, i'm caught up and see her getting overwhelmed, and i want to help and also have something to do since i'm bored).
but i'm really struggling to look at my role in this and pass judgement on myself. i can and want to do better, and i don't think i did anything wrong, but i'm always so hesitant to say it's not my fault or i didn't do something bad. like i can't trust my judgement on that. my intentions were good, her bad feelings are ones caused by her insecurities, which she more or less has expressed to be aware that they are not true—the hurtful thing she said to me, she acknowledged was said out of hurt and not what she actually thinks. so, is it fair to say i'm not the bad guy? i'm not in the wrong? i know good intentions that still result in harm don't absolve anyone, but when the things that are clashing are insufficient communication and reactive insecurities... i'm not a monster, am i?
#well. i AM probably a monster for how much i dislike this lady#but i don't ACT on it#and i genuinely couldn't care less about her. i participate in decent human pleasantries because i am a decent human.#and at work we're stuck together#the thing that's irked me so much about this conversation is just.. her self centeredness#that she thinks everyone is out to get her. to undermine her. whatever.#bitch nobody cares about you enough one way or the other to put in that kind of effort. i sure don't#i empathize but i do not sympathize. to feel that pit that makes you feel like the worst kind of center of attention#i get it. but genuinely you are not the main character and no one is going to spend their limited time and energy to slowly attack you#you are not the cat with all the knives pointed at it#it's a terrible feeling to feel like you are! but when it influences your behavior to the point that you are making snide comments#to people who have no option not to interact with you then uh. then you're in the wrong buddy#and the people around you (who cannot easily leave! bc work!) should not have to bend over backwards to assure you#that they're not pointing knives at you. to protect themselves from your feelings making you say mean shit#like yes. i can be more clear with my intentions. i'm generally not the greatest at that. but my baseline that i want to#modify my behavior from is NOT one that a regular well adjusted person would take as anything but kind#and if a regular well adjusted person got a little offput by me volunteering to take work off their hands we would've had a very chill#3 sentence conversation about it MONTHS AGO.#i understand and respect (even if i find it annoying and overbearing) the need for me to announce my intentions like im working in a kitchen#and saying 'hot water' or 'knife' as i move around other people but we shouldn't have reached this conclusion this way#and frankly who's to fucking say me being more clear with my intentions will only feed the flames of her thinking i'm out to get her!#'i caught up on my stuff and your plate looks full. i'm bored. anything i can do to help?' could be a pointed knife for all i know!!#and if it is- and my actions still hurt her in that scenario- am i still responsible for the hurt caused??#like WHERE DOES IT FUCKING E N D ?#personal#*exhales* okay i feel better now#i just hate talking about my interactions with her bc i just want NOTHING to do with it. i want her out of my head!!#but until i process it i can't let go#and i'm still going to have to go over all of this with my shrink tomorrow#it just makes me mad how much of my time this bitch takes up. i'm not getting paid to think about work right now!!!!

idk if anyone else out here has seen starkid's nerdy prudes must die, but that part like "who will pray for you / when your body is gone / this is the consequence for what you've done / i'm not a loser!" hits me in a 'teenage constantine lashing out against his father for the first time' kind of way that refuses to let me breathe.
#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS.#SPOILERS IN THE LINK but nothing that isn't announced at the top of the show!#jon matteson's fucking VOCALS on that section i gasped so loud it hurt my lungs#anyway john constantine at his core is a never-closing wound carved out of rage and loneliness and it fucking kills me#underneath all those masks is a kid full of resentment and grief who just wants to be enough as he is. just once. for somebody#but he can't be. he can be the only person with the solution to your problems and it still won't be what you want#he's the saint of last resorts. he's never going to be enough for someone he's just going to be the best you can get for now#idk tho if he worked on all the lying and manipulating and bullshit things might be different! oh well!

#i really think people need to learn how to do two things online#1. not know things#2. shut up#if everyone is talking about something you dont understand then admit to yourself you dont understand#and therefore cannot have an informed opinion on the subject#you can take the opportunity to learn and see what people are saying#and until then you shut up about it#close your danged mouth delete the draft post#alternatively stop justifying yourself because you have self imposed guilt????#i keep seeing the post thats like#“oh its ok to not blog about this for your mental health ” and honestly#that feels like a weird thing to post when you could just be quiet???#if youre overwhelmed or confused or whatever by current events you dont have to announce that youre not posting about it????#just dont#ppl need to stop trying to morally justify their actions or inactions in the face of crises when they just need to learn to be quiet#idk im tired and at work and putting together coherent thoughts is hard right now#but i really think people need to stop and think and close their mouths sometimes

my fave thing bout postulating why mine had to die is it turns into a game of kill the snail. ‘the tojo clan is driven out by kamurocho by the tokyo police’ ok mine bribes the police. problem solved lets go home
#spoilers#because i ramble#snap chats#mine had to die cause if he didnt no conflict would ever get off the ground#he's too rich and too devoted to daigo and deranged enough to do quite literally anything and everything for him#i know the buying-out-the-police plan would work cause horinouchi was smuggling funds anyway bro would crumble i know it#tho tbf daigo said he already considered dismantling the tojo by the time arakawa was supposed to be a mole for aoki so#at least im p sure thats the timeline#god thats still hilarious tho imagine your dad busts yo out of prison after he announces his death to the world#and now some new punkass governor is knocking on your door telling you to get out not even five months later#daigo can never and will never catch a break#not even in his security company i bet- but not to go on a tangent about that tho#i love how daigo was still concerned about his men enough to want to help them post tojo collapse.. king..#like No Shit but still i like the small reminders daigo does care about the tojo like a family

#tw negativity#today was afwul#I was so determined to finish this paper this week just in time for jimin's comeback#like that was my big goal#I even announced it to everyone I know#but as the hours went by today I realised I'm not gonna make it#and it probably doesn't sound too bad but that realisation really fucks me over rn#I hate the topic I hate the assignment type I hate that I have no idea how to apply my knowledge#I'm overthinking every single detail as usual#and don't know if any of my ideas make any sense#I feel dumb and anxious as hell#it's exactly what I feared would happen for the past two years and why I couldn't even think about it for just as long#this paper's given me more mental damage than anything else in my life so far this is ridiculous#'annie once you start working on it you'll find your flow again! you always been so good at this!'#and now look at me. not being able to do shit#and if that's not enough I also got told that I very likely won't get paid this monnth#*month#because of a missing document from my psychiatric hospital stay#like literally fuck all of this#what a huge fucking joke#haven't felt this defeated in a whole while. and I certainly didn't miss the feeling
