#CS oracle

[chained-spirits]

I’m playing Oracle of Ages rn, and so I drew Oracle during the events of that game, (same fit as in ooa, oos and la)

I had fun with this I like the fact that he can only hold 2 things at once, the sword being optional

I’m on my way to the fourth dungeon, and oml everything in this game is a puzzle and I love it

First Post!

Or at least, this is my first post on Tumblr since high school lol. I used to use Tumblr often a long time ago, but I left. Now I start fresh with a new account!

My name is AlgorithmQuartz. I'm 22, an INFJ, and a Capricorn Sun/Leo Moon/Libra Rising. I'm into gaming, singing, coding, witchcraft, tarot/oracle, astrology, and exploring esoteric ideas. I'm currently in school for computer science with a minor in data analytics. I'm also a practicing witch.

If any of that sounds interesting, feel free to give me a follow! I may also follow back. I've recently started making YouTube content as well, and I'm shortly going to post the couple videos I have so I can put them on the featured section of my blog. If you wanna check out my YouTube channel, then here it is!

Have been contemplating creating so many Hornblower things in which playing cards are a narrative device/motif that I forgot that CS Forester didn't actually ever do that with them

Hi! I adore your blog! Especially that you also call out Carlos (I do not like that man) and the constant bs Charles gets from F1 media (they hate to see a beautiful man flourish). Also love your icon! Three Houses is my favorite game ever and Felix is my little meow meow.

oh thank you!! defending charlie is my mission statement 🫡

and FELIX IS MY BELOVED! i steal him in every route immediately like you're coming with ME. personally it's always such a debate who gets my grouchy little kitten, but i am a bernie/felix truther at my core

what did we think about three hopes b/c as a three houses main i have succhhhh mixed feelings

AU yapping time finally UwU

So, Sonic is part of a prophecy. No wayy omg it’s not like I keep mentioning it ANYWAYS

The Gods(tm) contacted the Oracle of Delphius abt it and she (yes SHE) told Aleena. So uhm. Aleena’s son, Nikki, needs to be the vessel(??) of a star child thing(????? Idk what im doing BUT ITS FUN💖)

So uhm, they do that. Ofc Aleena and Berny don’t want to do it but like. They have to. </3 They take Nikki (he’s like 4) and do a ritual thing idk how it goes. SONIA (who was like 6-8) ACCIDENTALLY WITNESSED IT :( SHE LOVED HER BROTHER NOO uhh that messed her up fr. Luckily Berny noticed and hired Lady Windermere as her therapist (this sounds so funny BUT ITS TRUE THIS IS PART OF IT😭)

Manic was born like 2 yrs later and Sonia is rlly protective of him

Anyways back to the ritual- Uhh they did the thing and. it quite literally teleported Nikki somewhere else completely (Green Hills) cs he couldn’t stay w em for some reason :(

Nikki is outside of Christmas Island now ig and does the stuff in the first game like fight Eggman (btw when he went super for the first time, that’s what gave him star pupils and star ears)-

he then meets Amy in CD

They become friends !! Well, sorta- Nikki can’t remember anything prior to teleporting to Green Hills, not even his name… so it’s hard for Amy to understand him, but she names him Sonic ^_^

It’s not until he meets TAILS that he learns stuff again :D Tails teaches him how to talk and other things!!

Everything after that is pretty normal- He meets Knuckles and then there’s the murals which they feel look a lil familiar but wtv

Shadow bc he’s important.. I guess

He’s based off those murals, that’s it

I love Blaze so I rlly need to say this

She’s sorta based off black holes bc Sonic is a star. I’m gonna flesh out the Sol Dimension eventually trust bro

Unleashed my beloved

Chip knows, that’s all I’m saying❤️ also this is around the time Sonic gets those cyan markings lol

THERE’S GONNA BE MORE I JUST DONT KNOW IT YET💖💖💖

Anyways I rlly need to talk abt this now:

Nikki is not Sonic and Sonic is not Nikki

Nikki doesn’t exist anymore.

So when Sonia or Aleena and Berny accidentally call him that, it’s really… well, sad. Sonic doesn’t like it. That’s not who he is. He hasn’t been him for 13 years. Manic is the only one that hasn’t called him that.

:) yeah so im giving him more of an identity crisis lol..

Ok yeah thats it for this shitty au bye

The Claim That Broke the Camel's Back

828 words

Summary: Frustrated CS student, Luigi Mangione, battles the maddening bureaucracy of his insurance company while juggling midterms and back pain. An underwhelming trip to Panda Express inspires him to make a change. Luigi's POV Author's Note: I could write about incompetent insurance reps all day. My whole life is working with this broken fucking system. Free Luigi.

I'm on my third cold brew of the day to get ready for this evening Machine Learning lecture. I'm wired, to say the least. I've written down a few questions I have for the professor that I'm hoping will be covered by the midterm review he's “gifting” us today. 

"Good evening, folks!" he booms, addressing the class. There’s a few murmurs from some students giving a half hearted hello. "I was debating whether or not to make a midterm review for this section of the course. Considering your test scores from February..." 

My phone vibrates with a 1800 number I know all too well. Dammit. I've been waiting a whole week for them to call me back about this billing mistake. I can’t believe they’re calling right now, but I have to settle this billing issue. I sigh, and claw my way out of the row of backpacks and purses, answering the phone as quietly as possible.

“Hello, this is Luigi.” I spit it out like I've said it a thousand times, flinging open the back door to the main hallway.

“Hi, Luigi, this is Tiffany calling from Blue Cross Blue Shield. I’m returning your call about a claim you want to appeal.”

Appeal? Appeal. Because nothing says "customer service" like making me clean up a mess they made and then gaslighting me about it.

I’m whisper-shouting now, rehashing for the millionth time how I never got the bill they insist they mailed to an address I haven’t lived at since MySpace peaked. Tiffany’s hitting me with the most insincere “mm-hmm”s—" i've ever heard.

“Why did you send the orthopedic bill to my parents’ house? I don’t live there,” I say, trying to keep the vein in my temple from exploding.

“Mr. Mangione, can you confirm your address for me, please?”

Confirm my address? I swear to God, these people couldn’t find their own ass with both hands and a Garmin. “Which address do you have on file for me? Because you’re sending this bill to Maryland, and I live in Pennsylvania.”

Tiffany pauses like she’s consulting the Oracle of Delphi. “Mr. Mangione, I’ll need you to confirm your mailing address in order to continue discussing your account.”

Breathe, Luigi. Breathe. “Fine. 212 Fairway Lane, Baltimore, Maryland, 20906.”

There’s the familiar clackity-clack of her keyboard, a sound I’ve come to associate with malicious incompetence. “Okay, Mr. Mangione, can I put you on hold?”

“Hold? You guys are killing me. I’m a full-time student; you called me in the middle of a lecture.”

“I’ll need to review your account information in order to transfer the case to the billing department.”

Hold on. “You’re not the billing department?”

There’s a pause so thick you could spread it on toast. “This is the claims department.”

I could scream. I peek through the window of the lecture hall door. The TA’s handing out the review sheet, and I’m out here playing phone tag with someone who doesn’t even have the power to solve this issue. “Alright, Tiffany, can you just give me the billing department’s direct line? So I can call when i'm not in class.”

She rattles off a number. I punch it into my phone notes like I’m defusing a bomb. I thank her—halfheartedly, because I was raised right- and hang up.

I'm back in my seat, having missed the professor going over test expectations. I unlock my phone and look at the number Tiffany gave me. Wait. I look at my recent call log.

No way. It’s the exact same number I’ve been calling for weeks. The member services line. An automated phone directory service that will "connect you to the best department", but only sends you in circles for hours just to disconnect you when you’re waiting to speak with a supervisor.

They’ve already threatened to send the bill to collections—a bill I’ve never even seen. They told me the procedure was 100% covered. Now I’m supposed to fork over cash I don’t have for something they said I didn’t owe in the first place.

Back at my dorm, I'm eating Panda Express alone like a fucking schmuck. The noodles taste like cardboard. I’d kill for my Ma's chicken parm. I gotta call her.

I finish up, and grab the take out bag to throw away the container. 

Oh, thats right. There’s the fortune cookie. I almost chuck it in the trash, but ... maybe Lu deserves a little treat today.

I crack open the cookie, shoving one half in my mouth, and unfurl the little piece of paper.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

I immediately roll my eyes. The change I want to see is insurance companies prioritizing patients' well being over shareholder profit. If I could do anything about that, I would. Trust me, I would.

I tape the fortune to the inside of my laptop, right next to the sticker of Breloom my sister gave me, and fling myself onto my bed. 

Be the change. Maybe I could.

endeavour musings, xiii

featuring: S7 + Oracle "You've always thought too much of me."

S7 is as far as I watched when Endeavour originally aired, and last night I remembered why. We actually wound up watching Oracle and Raga in one go because we all went: what just happened. I'll concede that this season has the courage of its convictions. But: It's a weak season hamstrung by poor narrative decisions all over the place. It's not: I've got a little list, but a BIG list. But I'll cherry pick because so many other brilliant people have already explained it's weaknesses so well! 1. I love that Dorothea Frazil is back! Also CS Bright is lovely and his poor wife! 2. Lack of Emotional Resolutions I tagged a post elsewhere "can you have a sustained dissonance if the music was never stable" and I stick by that as a tagline for Endeavour as a series. S7 is now 4-5 seasons / years away from a season with a satisfying emotional resolution that lasted more than 30 minutes--and it's been too long. In part, it's exacerbated by the symbolism and in media res of RL's writing and the production decisions -- which, while working out okay in a contained episode in earlier seasons--is almost unbearable over a long arc in a season. In another part, it's also exacerbated by the fact that the corollary to psychologically hammering on Morse to "break" him is that as long as Thursday loves him, you have to psychologically hammer on Thursday too. And since Thursday tends to carry a lot more of the emotional weight & gravitas of episodes, you get these episodes where the amount of psychological stressors is absurd. 3. Realism / Theatricality It's just weirdly mixed in this season, and doesn't work. They don't do enough of the action-building to make the character decisions work. For example: I actually love the canary scene. I find it totally believable that Thursday just wants something that isn't bloody to love. But apparently, even though as far back as s2 in Sway, Win is apparently lamenting that Thursday doesn't talk to her about work or what's bothering him, when Thursday does talk to her, she says nothing. (Is it any surprise that in Raga, when she says "You can talk to me," that he absolutely doesn't?) Whatever the resolution they reached in Degeullo, it's apparently gone? Also, when he asks how she is after she's seen Dr Benford's body ("You're the one I'm married to) and she says very condescendingly "I saw worse on fire watch, in the war. Really." Is it any wonder, Winifred, that he doesn't want to talk to you??? 4. "This a story about love." Yes, but not that kind. 5. I actually love the scene with Dr Blish and his wife and the checkbook. It is actually the kind of thing that a Dr Blish would do, and completely the kind of cringe revenge that an intelligent wife to a pompous idiot paternalistic husband would do in front of 2 total strangers who are policeman. 6. TEA SCENE WITH BRIGHT: stunning beautiful--it made me tea up a little. One thing I am curious about is this line: THURSDAY: "Well, can't say I've ever had much use for it in civilian life outside of court, of course. We weren't Bible raised." Because Thursday is so hilariously Christian coded, it's almost ridiculous.

7. It's going to take Morse until 1987 to get his house fixed up at this rate. All that wallpaper!
