arlecchino's official title is "father" when house of hearth members refer to her ......... please just one chance please please

#GOD. me when slightly more masc women #idk i really hope they keep that just bc it would be so nice to have some more canonical gender fuckery as little as it is #i hope they write her well because MAN she's been so interesting so far #. kind to kids; who also end up becoming essentially child soldiers; 'has her own agenda' according to childe..#thinking back to my own post abt her and house of hearth: seems like she really does care abt the kids in her org (or acts like it well eno #enough . but ahskdjksfjl she could ofc be another person who knows how bargaining and equivalent exchange works. like. save your life for #a debt. win loyalty via small favors that are actually nice things and things she doesn't mind doing etc #think how bai.zhu operates but a lot more ethically questionable #please please let her be a well rounded evil. her design is already so cool (minus the long rat tail ponytail thing :\)#chewing on her and her motivations and backstory for enrichment #genshin spoilers #4.0 spoilers #fontaine spoilers #arlecchino #i hope! they make her self aware enough to know she's doing evil. or not evil but not morally great things . and i sure hope they don't #write it off as 'this for that. food/shelter for doing 'jobs' for me' when the job is literally . murder and spying and all sorts of other #stuff. or ig she can justify it like that but IDK all im asking is that she doesn't get the shogun treatment #teyvat thoughts #ramblings!

brb spiraling into insanity about Lae'zel's story themes being about letting go of high-demand religion/society and carving your own path with your own values and allies and morality despite the intense pressure from your old group to remain in a place that's eating you alive

#having to build your belief system from the ground up because you've realized it's rotten to the roots #knowing that the community you grew up in will forever think you're lost #rejecting what you're told is exhaltation in favor of what you know is real and good now #devoting your life to a cause and then being called traitor when your conscience diverges from that cause #'mourning the loss of the person she once was and can never be again'#'better a short life built on truth than an immortality woven of lies'#'vlaakith cannot unmake she who no longer exists'#'i crawl among my own people low as an asps belly'#'what good this heart of stone for it to be shattered'#GOD #bg3 #bg3 spoilers #laezel #bg3 laezel #laezel spoilers #bg3 act 1 spoilers #bg3 act 3 spoilers #my post #jay rambles

Doing an evil run of BG3 is both very easy, and also. impossible.

#I just started an evil run and finished the first area #and the encounters were….. so unfairly balanced in my favor #which i suppose is the thing of it right #these great evils have the cards stacked to suit them #until a scrappy hero comes and beats the odds #this being the case means being evil myself is a cake walk #HOWEVER. ON THE FLIP SIDE #I HAD TO LISTEN TO IT. AND WATCH MY HANDS MOVE AS THEY CARRIED OUT VILE ACTS UPON PEOPLE I HAVE GROWN TO LOVE #zevlor dammon wyll halsin arabella I’m so fucking sorry #I’m so sorry god it hurt #I get very invested so it left me shaking #and Gale at the goblin party just speaking to my evil character with such disgust #disgust for himself as well for being complicit #hurt so goddamn much #honestly I might not be able to finish it!!

Thinking about them*😔

*the gay couple from a current brazillian telenovela

#My mind works in terms of fandom but the only place I can find other ppl talk about the telenovela gays is twitter #And God I fucking HATE twitter fandoms. They don't seem to have any boundaries #Last time I checked their tag there I saw ppl losing it because one of the actors had been seen on a date with a random guy #A guy who wasn't his romantic pairing on the telenovela. You know because they're actors. They are acting. Playing characters #This is apparently too wild of a concept for Twitter fans to grasp. I saw ppl acting as if the guy was cheating on them???#Enfim se você que esta lendo essas tags tem opiniões sobre Kelmiro por favor vem de DM

it’s been a full decade and I’m still upset at how badly adam and edward fumbled the peter pan storyline

#ouat #once upon a time #peter pan #he was the best villain they had i will die on that hill never mind that i quit watching after they brought in frozen that was a mess and a #half but the degreee of tomfoolery #I rewatched a couple of eps and like it’s PEAK they have soooo much they could’ve delved into so much they could’ve explored and just chose #not to in favor of making it half a season instead of the full one it deserved #and for what?? that disaster of an ‘eviler’ sister plotline? god i hate this show #it was so good imo up until too like yeah the sfx were questionable at best but the acting and stories made up for that and then they just-#listen it’s been a day i needed my focus away from f1 for a sec not that it helped lmao #joey rambles #ps don’t try and reason w me I literally don’t care to argue w anyone

toxic male trait is taking it upon myself to prep & cut all the ingredients for dinner while 🌸 is out running another errand, but then abruptly announcing that i’m exhausted as soon as they get home and just leaving them to cook it all by themself while i lie down in another room and drink ice water

#in my defense i am exhausted but they must surely be more so #i should go back soon. they will need my guidance for making sauce. but my god it's nice to lie down #box opener #this is mainly a toxic male trait because while i would come back the second they asked me to #they would have to ask. and i know they won't. because they love martyrdom and unnecessary acts of servitude #i have to be on guard at all times against 🌸 doing me favors. but sometimes. i'm simply not‚ and on purpose

Actually I must resign to the fact that The Country Wife (1675) by William Wycherley is unfortunately hilarious

#ive read almost all of it since noon #it's a quick read. i only have act v left #first i must say. harry horner is a bisexual icon #secondly i am upset that a man who trashed the legacy of aphra behn could almost equal her in wit #at least just judging by this one play. now this shit is raunchy #im still not as familiar with restoration theater as i am the elizabethan/jacobean eras but like? how is it that plays by women seemed #to get the greater criticism for being bawdy in the restoration era. oh my GOD wycherley #no but it is funny it is really really funny #tales from diana #the editor of this 1959 riverside edition of restoration plays. john harold wilson. he's kind of hilarious #i mentioned him in the tags of a post i reblogged about aphra behn the other day. how he called mary pix and delarivier manley #poetasters of the post-restoration decline in theater... that guy #in his introduction to the country wife he holds no punches for wycherley sdlfasdf #after talking about his four successful plays he says:#'he married unwisely; fell out of favor at court; spent seven years in prison for debt; and wasted the remainder #of his life writing bad verse.' SLDIFSDJIFLDIFSL #if someone said that about me. even though i was already dead. i would somehow find a way to kill myself #maybe 20th century literary academic snobs were funnyyyyy #misogynists granted. but when they attacked each other? funny #also even though i am praising the country wife this play is definitely definitely misogynistic like holy shit #k. ive said enough

Ok so like.....*sigh*

So like in the show he basically asks her to marry him and she says yes, and they're both like "Promise? Promise!" but she keeps fucking conveniently remembering and forgetting "the promise to mother" like I know he's intoxicating af and it's hard to hold a thought around this man (I also have a very hard time holding a thought looking at him), but pick a goddamn side and have a backbone about it ffs!! Like you can't waffle on people like this girl!! You literally sat here and engaged yourself to this man and then you go off and do THAT???

I would like to note that so far in the (very drastically different) novel, there is no such promise ever made, and she fucks off to the steppe because she's mad at Ning Yi thinking the whole entire time he had just been cozying up as part of a plot to kill her so leaving bought her time, space, and a power base to fight back and he just eats the misunderstanding like "????? fine, come and kill me when you're ready, at least I'll get to see you again, I am ok with this." which makes a bit more sense tbh.

In a loooot a lot of ways, the tv show is about 1000x more polished than the book, but at least the book has fewer slaps in the face like this. They become a bit more obvious on rewatch, especially after pawing through the novel. (I hope the translator finishes it someday!! They picked it up again this past may after two years of nothing so here's hoping!)

#the rise of phoenixes #spoilers #i needed to talk about some stuff ok #tbh I do like the ning yi of the tv show a LOT more- god bless chen kun #but the book ning yi also has his good points like accepting zhiwei's major choices #in the show it is absolutely not his fault that her mom and brother die- no question bc he tried damn hard to do everything he could #in the book he's got a bit more of the blame because he loses control of his subordinates after showing too much favor to zhiwei #they think he's blinded by her charm and talent and unable to make sound decisions so they act independently without telling him and fuck u #and he accepts that because he lost control of his people that that puts some of the blame on him because he WAS investigating feng hao #just not at zhiwei's expense which is what she thinks has happened- that wasn't the game at all #but he still takes the L with a little bit of dignity and it makes sense for her to get her space and leave #whereas in the show she highkey comes off as a pissbaby after this man wins a whole war on speedrun just to save her #only for her to conveniently remember mommy's promise again and break her engagement and fuck off to the steppe #which leaves him rightly a fucking mess and that was not a good look for her #i really really hope the translator picks the book back up and finishes it #i would love to see how this pans out there as the whole picture even though I know it has a happy ending already #but still!!

current mood of the night is realizing that recording using your natural voice does result in higher quality samples and a more consistent voicebank overall (← should not be shocked about this)

#or more concretely:#the new 6 pitch natural CVVC powerscale sounds a whole lot better than the 9 pitch voice acted VCV which is #a little aww but also unsurprising w #like i'm happy with the result and delighted that i'll have a vb of this quality under my belt #but i think more than anything else it just has me shaking my fist towards the heavens #cursing the universe for denying me a masculine tone #anyway w #i just want to record a higher quality salvador someday sdkjfgh #and also oh my god i am doing everything in my power to not immediately drop salvador in favor of new libraries but #my god skdfjhglk

#if you 'fix' something by making every character into a lesbian woman i fucking hate you #For the love of god stop acting like boys existing is some kind of unforgivable sin #do you understand that transmascs have the HIGHEST SUICIDE RATE #i'm not dirty or in need of fixing because i'm a guy and believing so anyway is literally terf rhetoric #this is not @ any particular person it's just always on my mind #'would be better if it was yuri' would be better if you shut the fuck up #yes i understand that women and lesbians are marginalised as hell and that things are often tipped in favor of men #dont think that i dont understand that #but the solution isnt to dig guys into the ground and leave them there to die. you know that right.

was eda ever confirmed to be bi by dana or something or did everyone just. decide that was true?

#it's great either way of course! i'm fully in favor of bi eda! i just uh #a lot of people act like it's canon and unless someone's actually said so...#it feels like people have only decided that MUST be canon because she is/was in love with raine #and like. not to ruin the fun or whatever but as an nby person it kinda bothers me #when people are like oh this character likes a nonbinary person they HAVE to be bi or pan #like guys... gay and straight people can like enbies too...#but if this is all unfounded and it was confirmed via word of god please tell me! i don't think i recall it ever being said in the show

god i love how for real mad people get about character polls

#people acting like the world is ending and everyone is a stupididiot if they didn’t vote for the Correct opinion on the Opinions Feature #the online genre of needing to be right that makes polls a nightmare #god and then people being such weak willed people pleasers or having a general lack of fixed opinions that they’re like #NOOOOOOO after reading the mean spirited replies about why canon [trait] character should win i wish i could change my vote forever i guess #my only choice is to beg for forgiveness and then kill myself #it’s not just that people care enough to be genuinely catty about it #but that they also care enough to decide to change their opinions in favor of something they literally don’t have an actual opinion on #because they have never seen the show and do not know the character at all #so ridiculous. and fascinating.

I heard someone utter "23 year old daddy with a drool worthy dad bod" and "unbearable over weight millennial loser who needs to lose the beard" in the same breath without an ounce of irony or self awareness today

#im..... so tired #kid was maybe 18 talking about screwing her older coworker and i dont know what was more frustrating #her constant refusal to acknowledge her one friend's discomfort in favor of her other friend's avid support. that pissed me off.#or maybe the fact they were blatantly in the exclusionary vibes group that doesnt want older people to be visible in dsting spaces #lots of the tiktok therapy lingo being thrown around lots of villain era nonsense andnlike yes they're kids i get it #but they'd probably tell a leather bear they dont belong at a bar because they're throwing off the vibes based on how they were acting #or god forbid they meet a proper butch

If I send you unprompted asks that make you feel something please know that 1, the sword is double ended and I hurt myself writing it first, and 2, it means I'm getting attached and I'm sorry

#constantly oscillating more than a standing fan #one moment: i should send things its good to write and good to write for friends and it brings me joy to ne inspired by them #the next: what if im annoying. what if they think my kindness is fake again. what if im too much. maybe i should act more distant and cool #the very next: acting cool and distant is for losers and i didnt survive a suicide attempt just to Not let people know i care for them.#im a dumbass and im a clingy ass and im a lil too much but god love it. its never a show #if i talk to u every day or every few days and send u memes and chat there's no underlying reason #other than you bring me joy in some fashion and i just want to return the favor #i didnt get into rp to write with strangers. i mean. gestures. maybe my expectations are too high. skdnfkgkg #i DID literally meet my husband thru rping 12 years ago. so. maybe i hope for too much.#but i consider yall friends. i do. there's never any ulterior motive. i just like yall and want to be wantes #wanted* but that's the root of humanity isnt it? love? belonging? i wont be ashamed of that #anyway its 2 am. hi. i need to go to sleep
