#in which case... nevermind

[baejax-the-great]

thinking about posting a WIP and then remembering how tech companies want to steal every word from our fingertips to chew up and spit out again and trying to figure out why I feel differently about these words, the words you are reading right now which will inevitably be stolen versus some unserious fiction that will be read by like 15 people total anyway, and why it even matters but it does. to me it does matter.

the way anakin could have been and was an excellent jedi but the majority of the time we don't see it because the best way to tell the narrative of a jedi knight's fall is to depict him falling

no, actually my least favorite thing about watching thai dramas while speaking & understanding thai... is that the dialects never match up 😭😭😭 if a character is from a non-central province, they'll have their whole family speak in northern/southern/isaan dialect while the main character, who's played by an actor from bangkok, will unexplainably not have any remnants of his native dialect when he speaks even though he was born & raised in the area and often time never even left... that shit breaks the fourth wall to me, like... why even hire an actor who doesn't fit the role fully, I don't get it 😭

ok i rly like ranma 1/2 reboot so far its rly fun and interesting gay and gender stuff happening. however.

at the beginning they established that akane is 16 and her older sister kasumi is 19 and akane has a crush on her chiropractor dr. tofu, who has a crush on her sister kasumi. so im like ok they all must be similar in age

then in the newest episode in a flashback, dr tofu is still a doctor aka a grown man (?? if that is the case then he's old and there's a concerning age diff! he blushes at kasumi in this very flashback! also wait are chiropractors real doctors??) but more importantly, akane is a TODDLER while her sister appears to be a teenager still!!!

that shocked me so much i had to pause to do research on their ages to confirm im not crazy they did say they had only a 3 yr diff lol. still haven't finished the episode. kasumi is towering over akane at ages 5 and 8 i guess or maybe akane is a tiny 10-13 year old if kasumi is supposed to be 13-16

WHY ARE YOU CONSULTING A SOCIAL SCIENTIST ON WHETHER ASTROLOGY COUNTS AS A SCIENCE. WHY DOESN'T ANYONE EVER CONSULT ACTUAL ASTRONOMERS. BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE ANSWER THEY'LL GET THAT'S WHY!!!

I'm a big fan of wizards-as-programmers, but I think it's so much better when you lean into programming tropes.

A spell the wizard uses to light the group's campfire has an error somewhere in its depths, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. The wizard spends a lot of his time trying to track down the exact conditions that cause the failure.

The wizard is attempting to create a new spell that marries two older spells together, but while they were both written within the context of Zephyrus the Starweaver's foundational work, they each used a slightly different version, and untangling the collisions make a short project take months of work.

The wizard has grown too comfortable reusing old spells, and in particular, his teleportation spell keeps finding its components rearranged and remixed, its parts copied into a dozen different places in the spellbook. This is overall not actually a problem per se, but the party's rogue grows a bit concerned when the wizard's "drying spell" seems to just be a special case of teleportation where you teleport five feet to the left and leave the wetness behind.

A wizard is constantly fiddling with his spells, making minor tweaks and changes, getting them easier to cast, with better effects, adding bells and whistles. The "shelter for the night" spell includes a tea kettle that brings itself to a boil at dawn, which the wizard is inordinately pleased with. He reports on efficiency improvements to the indifference of anyone listening.

A different wizard immediately forgets all details of his spells after he's written them. He could not begin to tell you how any of it works, at least not without sitting down for a few hours or days to figure out how he set things up. The point is that it works, and once it does, the wizard can safely stop thinking about it.

Wizards enjoy each other's company, but you must be circumspect about spellwork. Having another wizard look through your spellbook makes you aware of every minor flaw, and you might not be able to answer questions about why a spell was written in a certain way, if you remember at all.

Wizards all have their own preferences as far as which scripts they write in, the formatting of their spellbook, its dimensions and material quality, and of course which famous wizards they've taken the most foundational knowledge from. The enlightened view is that all approaches have their strengths and weaknesses, but this has never stopped anyone from getting into a protracted argument.

Sometimes a wizard will sit down with an ancient tome attempting to find answers to a complicated problem, and finally find someone from across time who was trying to do the same thing, only for the final note to be "nevermind, fixed it".

"if anything it was the opposite" "Eric wanted to be like Dylan more than Dylan wanted to be like Eric" followed by "it was a crime done by two guys, not a fucking supervillain and his little sidekick". Okay.

Reminder for Columbine Day

If you still believe the "Eric was a psychopath, Dylan was a depressed follow" rhetoric then you are retarded and should be sent to a reeducation camp. If anything it is the opposite. Dylan wanted to do NBK with a fucking chick before Eric was even in the picture. Eric wanted to be like Dylan more than Dylan wanted to be like Eric. Eric didn't have as many friends or a family to fall back on like Dylan did. Dylan, by bystander reports, enjoyed the shooting more than Eric did. Dylan was the one taunting more and was more visibly excited by it. Sure Eric killed more but Dylan had a shitty gun. It was a crime done by two guys, not a fucking supervillain and his little sidekick. Just a reminder.

when there's finally 1 singular astarion & jaheira fic but i don't like it

You know what? Fuck it.

Mar 13 -> The amount of notes that this post gets by the end of April is the amount of words I'll write for one of my books.

Update: May 1 -> AND TIME!! Thank you all so much for participating! The amount of words I got, at the time of me looking at this post, are...

Holy shit that's a lot-

Update: May 2 -> Currently outlining a storyline! I couldn't decide which fandom I wanted to do so I'm just doing a self-indulgent crossover.

Update: May 12 -> Got an idea for an Optimus-centric story. I'm keeping my original storyline but I'm started to plan out this new one.

Update: Jun 1 -> Nevermind. Currently rewriting a story of mine. I think that'll be the chosen one. Though, I have seven planned chapters so I dunno how the hell I'm gonna do it.

Update: Jun 28 -> Nevermind x2 lol. I'm continuing on with the Optimus-centric story. It was inspired by Not A Prime Situation and it's a really good book, I highly recommend it. I asked permission from the author to start writing and I got it so chapter 1 is in the works! (P.S. I'm gonna wait until after all 21 chapters are finished to start posting just in case I lose motivation halfway and stop writing for 2 years again.)

Update: Nov 6 -> Sorry y'all, suffered through multiple depressive episodes and a massive writer's block. I'll try my best to write this though.

what happens is:

-fatphobic limits on weight for trans surgeries are implemented due to fatphobic doctors and a medical establishment that refuses to train physicians to work with fat bodies

-hospitals and clinics and those that work there reproduce these limits as factual and create the conditions for disordered eating and related self-harm among trans people, and uphold systems of antifatness, cisheteropatriarchy, white supremacy, and abled-normativity that render the only 'correctly' binarily sexgendered people as thin

-trans people with disordered eating practices are doubly pathologized and marked as contagion vectors, hysterical, deviant, and delusional, in need only of "recovery" via force-feeding to be cured both of disordered eating and transness

-trans people are thus pushed further from access to life-saving medical care and, in the best cases, instead funneled into an ed industrial complex that routinely abuses even its most privileged subjects, nevermind those already abjected

-trans people either remain in diagnosis-induced epistemic limbo, die of their eds, die by suicide, and/or remain "too fat" to access surgery, knowing that the next time they go back seeking xyz transmedical intervention, they will get the same recommendation to "diet" –– which, make no mistake, is in effect a recommendation to die.
