[mistergreatbones]

Watching my silly little British sci fi show and I think wow that was out of left field and then I go online and everyone’s like “I can’t believe I predicted it was sutekh from 60th anniversary lol” and then I watch my silly little American sci fi show and I go HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK HOW WHAT and everyone online is like “uggggggh ***** being the master was soooooooo obvious.”

something I (you can disagree ofc) don't like about the sudden free access we have to authors and writers now is that it has taken a little bit of the magic out of interpreting art

I'm not saying there isn't value in trying to view something from the artist's point of view. the specific case I'm talking about is something I saw on this website where there was like a four or five word dialogue in one scene of one episode of a multi season show that someone asked the writer about. their question was about the placement of a comma in the script and the writer responded with where the comma was and that just???? pulled me out of it??????

one of my favorite things about media is that when it's out there, it's out there, whether you intended it to be received a certain way or not. once it's out there, people can perceive it however. the placement of that comma changed the meaning of the sentence and if your writing and directing meant it wasn't obvious where it went, that should be a fun point! it should be fun to consider how the delivery of the line itself doesn't clarify which version it is!! how fun it could be if we could look at both cases and just speculate!!! maybe there's a third secret way it could be interpreted that we haven't figured out yet!!!!

idk having definitely yes and no feels limiting in how much you can interpret of the art in front of you if the creator is there telling you what to take away from the dialogue despite their vision not translating on screen. I get that as people who enjoy art, knowing what the writer meant to say is important. the person who asked definitely wasn't seeking to take away from people enjoying speculating and the person answering definitely didn't take away any interpreting liberties that the public has. but it did remind me of why I dont watch celebrity interviews, because as a casual enjoyer, it's fun not to worry about the "correct" interpretation and see art as something you emotionally respond to rather than something meant to be understood in a specific way

maybe that's a naive way at looking at though :/

thoughts?

I had to go to the ER for uhhhhh sudden stroke symptoms basically and while it's probably that my migraines that were already weird already got extremely weird, I'm very scared today because.....head hurt.

Like yesterday I could not see or walk at all. If I tried to walk I was just flinging myself in different directions. Seeing the double vision was so bad I just couldn't make anything out. Apparently migraines can just make you feel like stroke. No medication possible! Or really change to my life that's reasonable!

Anyway 2 things: scared this may happen again and driving.

I need to like try things out today because I will need to go to work tomorrow, but my wife is too scared to let me free.

You're more amazing than face-down cards

White commons! Enchantments aplenty!

To be clear, the cards with capitalized names are existing cards that I'm using as reprints. Some, like Karametra's Blessing, will get new names eventually.

Also, using Elemental as a creature type was mostly just a placeholder, and now that I'm settling on the flavor I'm looking for a better subtype. The flavor is that they're spawned from human emotion, like faith, hope, or devotion for the enchantments, or passion or creativity for the artifacts. I scrolled through the creature types, but none really stuck out to me as a solid fit. The best I could come up with was spirit, but I figured I'd ask for ideas before committing to changing every instance of the Elemental type. I could even go with a totally new subtype, but I couldn't think of any good names.

[technicolorxsn]

love how there are pretentious video essays that just repeat the book and meander and ramble about house of leaves. it's what zampanó would have wanted. it is not, however, what I want

My doctor messaging me at 12:30 in the morning to tell me she wants to do a telehealth visit abt the side effects I'm having with my new Lamotrigine dose (including worse insomnia than my usual insomnia, as u may have guessed lmao) is. something.

Personally I think we should all stop obsessing over Good Omens and instead put all our energy into obsessing over Nightmare in Silver. It's a shit episode as a whole but every time Matt swaps between the Doctor and the Cyber Planner he does it so masterfully that he should be retroactively given every single BAFTA on the planet

i keep seeing screenrant articles and stuff (most recently) that are all "*gasp!* the toymaker has fixed continuity in doctor who by saying that actually it's all a mash up of different timelines!" and every time i'm just like yeah???? that isn't new that's literally the entire show

My jaw has been hurting ALL DAY today and it has been MISERABLE.

I had a burrito for lunch and it really hurt to chew. I could barely even eat my dinner 'cause it hurt so much, and ibuprofen hasn't done a whole lot to help with the pain (my sibling told me I probably haven't taken enough but I'm too scared to take more than 2 pills at a time).

I feel kind of dumb for not getting it checked out but my jaw almost ALWAYS hurts so I thought the pain would lessen throughout the day (like it does sometimes on other days) but it didn't.

I think it maybe might be dislocated but I'm not sure?????? I didn't even do anything to hurt it though???????? I dunno and it's really freaking me out.

It's super late right now (it's after 1 am) so I can't go to a doctor to get it checked out.

I'm gonna keep an eye on things and see if things feel better in the morning. If it doesn't get better I'm gonna see if I can go in to my doctor's to get it looked at.

Wish me luck y'all.

this nurse was telling me my psych specialist was gonna be $40 and bless her heart she apologized on their behalf for being too pricey. ma'am the concern is so appreciated sometimes $40 do be too much, but you don't understand. one of my hospital bills this summer was like 30k until i got it waived. one of them.
