#i feel like the result is boring

Got bored. Made a poll.

Which hermit has the brain cell?

It’s one question and a long form answer box.

Have fun!

i found this lore entry recently and have not stopped thinking about it since. it is HYSTERICALLY funny to me that fandaniel's villain origin story was just being a fuckin boomer

One of few great minds in a land that had seen the slow, yet steady numbing of its people's intelligence, Amon long lamented the sorry state of Allag , concentrating his early scientific efforts on developing medicines to increase mental capacity . He soon realized that it was not knowledge that the Allagans lacked. If anything, they had too much. What his people lacked was a leader. With a renewed sense of focus, Amon shifted his studies to the field of vivimancy, and soon was conducting experiments on his own flesh in order to attain his final goal - the resurrection of Xande the First.

Hi this is a vent post! Continue scrolling if you'd rather not see that

was completely mystified for days by my cousins being like “let’s watch a movie!” and then BOTH OF THEM proceeding to stare at their phones throughout the entire film, glancing at the screen only whenever the dialogue or a musical cue implied that something Important was happening, only to realize that the issue is that modern films don’t rely on nearly as many purely visual elements as older films did, so my poor cousins missed over 50% of the jokes because i didn’t think to warn them that, when watching films directed by people who got their start before films had dialogue, you actually need to WATCH them to understand what is happening.

it feels like my kotor 2 fic will never be finished and at this rate will clock like a million words or something by the time it's finally done 🙃 but I only have myself to blame

I'm kinda out of my mind, so right now doing art that's for the VN proper is a no go. So would y'all be okay if I posted art of characters and MAYBE even events that come later in the meanwhile, or is that too spoilery?

[esleep]

i am so tired of being out of shape but i have no idea how to fix this. someone should invent exercise that doesn't make me want to shoot myself in the head.

[bitchthefuck1]

have you watched the pjo show?

I saw the first 2 episodes when they came out at a watch party one of my friends threw, and as soon as they ended I realized I didn't particularly care to keep going. It wasn't like, outrageously bad by any means, I just don't think it gripped me enough to want to continue, and there were enough odd adaptational choices that I thought weakened the story that I lost interest. I might have tuned back in if the changes actually built to something interesting in the later episodes, but from everything I've seen it kinda seems like they just took the teeth out of the story, which was what I was worried about.

That being said, the cast seems really great and well suited to their roles, so like, if they improve the writing and pacing in the later seasons and stop sanding down all the rough edges, I might pick it back up. But otherwise, pass.

The dichotomy of wanting to get into more MCYT content because you fucking love that medium of storytelling versus the sheer emotional burnout of series and fanfics with too much hurt and too little comfort inflicted upon you which you still haunts you tok this day

(and also you dont have anytime you ain't reading all that but that isn't important)

El WooWoo Wednesday, especially to @artsyunderstudy​ and @larkral​ because they tagged me. Happy last day before Pride!

It is once again Thesis Wednesday because I am slowly wrapping this up. My WIP of the past few months is coming together and it’s uhhh it’s going. I have way too many words and also I don’t think it is very consistent. I’ll see.

Have the first paragraph of my conclusion:

The aim of this research is to explore how queer women give meaning to the representation of queer women in television series and films. Queer women give meaning to representation through the perception they have of television series and films, how queer women are treated differently in television series and films, what influence television series and films have, and by identifying with queer women in television series and films.

This sounds vague, doesn’t it? Yeah. I went in depth in the results chapter, which is definitely way too long, but a lot of interesting stuff was said, so we’ll see.

Still, I gotta say I’m not happy with this sentence cause honestly what does this even mean? If you, the reader who has no explanation, reads this, then how does this make you feel? Cause I dunno about you all, but when I read papers I first read the abstract, then the introduction and then I skip straight to the conclusion. I only read the rest if I need extra explanation or when I have to for classes etc.

Like, yeah, I understand what this means and also if you read my entire thesis thoroughly, you will hopefully do too. But let’s be real, apart from my thesis advisor, who’s gonna read the full thing? And that’s a shame, because there were so many interesting results. Even now, I’m like “Ask me what they thought about X, Y, Z!” and I could go off. But I don’t seem to have space to repeat that in my conclusion chapter.

I have to hand in the results and conclusions tomorrow and then the first draft of the entire thesis is due next week. I hope to have more clarity.

And now, the weather: @quizasvivamos​ @blurglesmurfklaine​ @coffeegleek​ @esperantoauthor​ @otherworldsivelivedin​ @caramelcoffeeaddict​ @sillyunicorn​ @bazzybelle​ @dragoneggos​ @raenestee​ @tectonicduck​ @nightimedreamersworld​ @urban-sith​ @thnxforknowingme​ @captain-aralias​ @you-remind-me-of-the-babe​ @takitalks​ @justgleekout​ @cerriddwenluna​ @tea-brigade​ @ivelovedhimthroughworse​ @moodandmist​ @whogaveyoupermission​ @bookish-bogwitch​ @confused-bi-queer​ @aroace-genderfluid-sheep​ @ionlydrinkhotwater​ @1908jmd​ @special-bc-ur-part-of-it​ @chen-chen-chen-again-chen​​ @cutestkilla​​ @nausikaaa​​/@wellbelesbian​​ @martsonmars​​ @facewithoutheart​​ @shrekgogurt​ @boyinjeans​ @rockitmans​ @bitbybitwrites​ @blackberrysummerblog​​

What Supernatural Creature is Your OC?

I was tagged by @marivenah​, @direwombat​, @socially-awkward-skeleton​, @fourlittleseedlings​ and @aceghosts​ to this cool uquiz for my OCs, thank you for the tags!

Not tagging anyone, again, since it’s been a while, but if you see this quiz and fancy doing it, feel free to consider this an open tag :)  Always happy for people to do that, and to be tagged into the results also

Fairy

You are a fairy! Depending on the type, fairies come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. Above all, they resemble the typical human physique. Fairies are beautiful, energetic, magical creatures. They have unlimited abilities, depending on the type they are. Some can make flowers bloom, others might be able to talk to animals and become friendly with them. To conclude, fairies will do whatever they can to make their peers happy. If you have a fairy friend, you're in luck! Don't take them for granted. But also remember to not be too oblivious! Some fairies can be tricksters!
