part 3 - final (part 1, part 2)

So I finished the Rimet Cup Event

It was really good! I enjoyed the event story a lot, mostly because of the characters and how they moved the plot along. Nothing felt boring or dragged out longer than it should, plus the character interactions were funny and wholesome.

Melania was a queen, I thought she was cool at first but seeing her in action was amazing. I also liked her dynamic with Ms. Acey, and her plan to steal the Rimet Cup was interesting to watch unfold. Pickles was cool too, though what really got me invested was his relationship with Charlton. Regulus and Mr. APPle’s side plot was funny, I’m glad I got to see more of them.

The character who really stole the show for me was Diggers. I already liked him because prior to this event I thought he was a typical chill hippie dude that was just a little in over his head. Then I found out that apparently people hated this guy because it turned out he was lowkey a terrorist??? Bro was stealing documents, disrupting the peace, drugged a whole BLOCK of people to throw an improvised block party, and apparently in a scene I haven’t seen yet, kidnapped Pickles because he got more attention than him?!

I thought my opinion on him would shift watching these events unfold but no, I love him all the same. He’s just this chaotic, silly lil dude who wants to spread peace (by doing it in the worst way possible)! This man was honestly hilarious, and the fact that he may or may not have joined the Manus Vindictae in 1.4 is just insane to me. Bro really thought the best way to spread peace and love was to join a literal terrorist cult, that’s actually hilarious.

TL;DR: event rerun was great, Diggers was the best character, I love him 🥰

nothing really enrages me as much as people willfully disregarding my wishes or trying to pressure me into changing my mind. i am allowed to say no to things. i will not be a martyr for christ sake.

there’s one of my mutuals who like…recently got into drawing and I’m really proud of them and mentally I’m over here like “yes!! Yes!! This what I like to see!! Keep at it! Keep drawing!!! You’ve got this!!”

I know that perfectionism is an absolute bitch, but yk what? Creating things, no matter how “imperfect” or “flawed” is the most important thing ever. Cringe is dead, it’s okay to make mistakes, do what you want forever (but don’t be an asshole!), being inclusive and diverse is so fun, do your research, and just have fun.

I got a bit passionate (and off topic lol) but I suppose what I wanna say is: Make the thing, mate.

IDK 73 yards leaving so much unexplained - i think it was a help rather than a hindrance. folklore ceases to be folklore if we know step by step the action and reaction of everything that happens

within the framework of a folklore type story what is much more interesting is following the actions and emotions of a character and what the mysterious unexplained element might be a metaphor or stand in for in the narrative rather than nitpicking about: was that an alien and does their species have the power of teleportation? but idk why the dr vanished?

does any of that matter to the story that was trying to be told?

Me: rolls my eyes and judges fic writers who talk about how they can't control the characters, the characters control them, and then laugh it off like it's a good and valid way to write

Also me while writing my own fic: Oh shit... did you really just think that, [character]? Daaammmn..... I've never considered that for you before, but it makes so much sense. I love it!

not a fully formed thought but i’ve been thinking a lot about the dichotomy of mulder and scully’s various roles, both professionally and characteristically, in the sense that mulder is a psychologist who interrogates minds and scully is a pathologist who interrogates bodies. but scully is presented as the more cerebral, the “brainy” one, the logical one; while mulder feels more visceral and physical and embodied. AND YET he is also more ephemeral, existing in a space of infinite possibility, while scully is much more grounded and of the world, reaching for the material and tangible, which the mind (not the brain but the mind, thought, consciousness, sense of self) is not. and that’s not even getting into their disparate views on religion.

i just love the tension that exists both in each of them and between them, the contradiction and juxtaposition of body and mind, belief and skepticism, the many ways one can express and exercise faith. they are completely different and yet exactly the same, unquenchably curious and always looking for answers. their approaches are distinct (corporeal vs ethereal, in a way) but the goal is the same. perfect opposites indeed

auuuuugh i keep trying to buy sonic 06 and sonic the fighters on my 360 but xbox live won’t fucking sign me in and xbox marketplace won’t recognize my payment methods!!! the xbox 360 digital store is shutting down really soon, so while i can probably maybe find a super overpriced physical 06 copy, i don’t think i’ll be able to get sonic the fighters for 360 any other way. is anyone else having similar problems or have any solutions?

I swear. I comprehend I’m not the best teaching intern in the world. I also was not the best camp counselor, cashier, and so on. But if my observer gives me so much criticism that I cry again I’m going to be so motherfucking pissed.

Especially since she’s asking me to stay late just to review me. While I have family visiting. And I’m gone for most of the day. And my commute is over half an hour. Which isn’t bad around here but still.

Hmm seeing some miss info about early hominids specifically early Homo sapiens being spread around by people who seem to be using modern humans as there reasoning why certain things about the hunting dinamics of human species that predate Homo sapiens and vice versa couldnt be true seemingly implying that hunting and foraging patterns couldn’t have changed over the multiple hundreds of thousands of years that evolution has taken place during and I don’t want to draw attention to my self because like the post has so few notes and it’s a couple years old but it’s blatantly wrong and drawing incorrect conclusions using a couple nature articles as their sources and the whole thing seems to be written by someone who if they do have a science background it’s clearly not in paleo anthropology and while I do have a degree in bio anthropology and archaeology I do not feel like wasting my time arguing on the internet about it

Edit: Oh I read through the notes and somebody a year ago read them for filth with actual scientific arguments and sources good! That post also called out the lowkey racism I didn’t quite realize I was picking up from the original post

Wish that version and not the version with the funny joke at the end was the one getting passed around

[bird-butch]
