#just a 10/10 article tbqh

[kindahoping4forever]

Galantis and Michael spoke with Rolling Stone about the origins of Lighter and the collaborative process

[theworldgate]

Spoilers below!

... so, uh... is... is Etrata the one who killed Zegana specifically? Like, the story summary all-but says that the killer has been identified as Etrata[1], and also they left the name of the card in the URL for the version of the art that appears attached to the article in some contexts, and it's "Expose the Culprit" (look, we know there's an ARG going on, and source code/URL shenanigans are a common thing), but also. Like. It's story 2 of 10 (well the first story of the actual mystery bit out of 7 because the final two are denouement and even released after the set debut, per the first look).

And we know that Etrata and Proft will be off having adventures (and also Etrata is a major character) so... like is it just one of those weird technically legal murders that Ravnica may or may not have? Or is it "well, we know you did that murder, but there's been another murder [of Teysa, her not having been seemingly-murdered by the end of this chapter is an actual plot twist tbqh] and you're one of, like, three people actually accounted for"? Or was the "Zegana" whose corpse we see actually unironically Lazav because we know Lazav wasn't dead at the start of the story, and we don't know whether the "shapeshifter resets on death" thing applies to him. I mean Chandra's Triumph famously actually depcits Lazav so it's not like there's not precedent for the cards misleading in that highly specifiic regard! (I... was going to say that the art was kinda a disproof lest people be misled over the story but then I remembered that that was an actual thing, apparently?!). [1] I mean "With the help of a brilliant detective, the killer is discovered. But catching this dangerous individual is an entirely different matter." and a decent chunk of the story is Kaya chasing Etrata.

The Future of This Is Pretty Broken

Wait is this textwall asking for money?

Noooo, and as you will soon see I'm doing great tbqh. I just wanted to rip the bandaid off, lose some followers, and explain why this blog is changing formats from a personal gallery to something actually personal. TL;DR: My hyperfixation changed.

Whered u go?

After GAID 2016's gallery show I was halfway through a year of drawing every single day. This practice prestiged my glitch art into furry art wherein I had trouble keeping commissions open as they'd sell out within seconds. A single, somewhat popular pokémon comic did not help with this, so I raised my prices several times in an attempt to get less people to commission me so I could keep comm slots open for longer than literally 10 minutes. At $200 a drawing it just kept selling out. This was good as my partner in art and life ended things, found new roomates, and told me to get out in a week all within 12 hours of my coming out as bi and trans because this made them uncomfortable.

A lot of my furry art... I hope it offended someone. Not in an edgy way, as I aimed to make something explicit but not titillating nor societally reprehensible. My personal furry art was supposed to make a statement about the absurdity, insidious effects, and hyperfocusing tropes of adult-oriented amateur art on the internet. As with glitch art, and all art, furry art is art and I aimed to take it seriously. Oddly, despite the stuff I was outputting on my own, I got ENTIRELY SFW comms and learned that the outward-facing, perverse furry scene we know is hiding a lot of earnest and thoughtful souls behind it.

It was ultimately a phase, and it didn't make "affluent in a big house" money but it did just scrape five figures across the whole of my efforts. That's not lifechanging money spread put over several years but it allowed me to pursue a lifelong love of music for serious. 3 years ago this was, I started transitioning and sought a better way to express myself.

I made 3 albums of what was in my heart with a 4th coming soonish. I wrote a ton of LGBT articles on defining one's identity and self expression.

So anyway I bought Pukicho's Subharmonicon which puts me right about here.

Love wins or... something. Furries were good to me and I love all your little hats.

So What's Changing? Basically this is a personal blog now. I want to interact with the tumblr community instead of speaking in codes from behind distorted preexisting images because it's the best social media community running. 2015, heck, 2012 is so long ago. I watched this whole community grow up with me from a naive twentysomething wasting time at work to someone making the noise they've always yearned to make albeit still working in between because even furries can't save you from the bourgeoisie.

Yet.

Send asks, send hate, I'm just gonna post whatever from now on and it'll probably have lots of synthesizers in it. I'll still make glitch art now and again I promise as I've backed up all of my old Processing 2+ scripts in a portable install environment and the fact that my posts are STILL circulating tells me that they've brought a lot of joy and I want to bring some of that back with me.

Thanks for reading, and I look forward to actually using this account for interacting instead of lurking. And thank you for 6 years of saying my work is real cool. It makes me feel cool too. ♡

This is so beautifully written. I love it.

awww, thank you (Dear tumblr: please ask me semi-silly questions all the time, I love answering them)

@laughingmagnus replied to your post “ultimate top 10 sh moments/scenes ?”

bless your #1, even when magnus bane does the Most Wrong he does no wrong

EXACTLY 

I knew you’d get it 😘🤣

@reckless-desire-to-live replied to your post “@frightening-fall-fic Week 1: Bad Decisions Were Made so, I really was...”

oh fucckk dang this is intense, your writing is amazing as always!!

asdjfkpsh thank you 😊

@alxndrlightwoods reblogged your post “I love Jace but Simon kind of had a point when he said Jace was treating Alec like a lapdog bc in s1 Jace took Alec for...”

Jilly I’m crying this is so good and true.

I HAVE A LOT OF THINGS I CAN SAY ABOUT JACE AND ALEC FOREVER AND EVER AMEN (They’re just so sad, I cannot handle it.)

@glorious-spoon replied to your post “I love Jace but Simon kind of had a point when he said Jace was...”

ohhh god i love this, and it's an angle that i hadn't even thought of but it makes so much sense that part of the reason jace is such a shit to alec early on is that *alec is the one person he won't lose no matter what*

kind of like that thing where kids will behave at school or daycare and then melt down around their parents because that's where they're *safe* (i mean, it's hard on alec because he's only like 22 and also pretty messed up himself, but still)

and also YES on the fact that jace just doesn't know *how* to love people and be loved and so much of his arc on the show is learning to do that in a genuine and vulnerable way

It is in fact JUST LIKE THE THING KIDS DO. It’s a compliment in terms of how much someone loves you but wow. So exhausting. I don’t know how Alec survived to 20 tbqh, with Izzy and Jace just right there being so very Izzy & Jace about everything. 

And yeah, I think part of why I love Jace so much is that, at the end, he made that transition to someone who can love people (and like people!) and it no longer terrifies him.

@twistedsinews replied to your post “@syzara replied to your post “Re: that Greedfall article, the author,...”

I in fact 100% recommend Moon Hunters, because Mesopotamian-themed indie RPG-lite that can be run through in 40 minutes a play but part of its charm is in the replay value.

well, gonna have to add that to the wishlists then 

but anyhow, GETTING BACK INTO GAMING, YEAH! \o\ /o/ high five?

ALL THE HIGH FIVES ✋

I JUST REALLY LIKE ALEC’S EYELASHES, sorry not sorry, they’re very distracting 😅

[thatswizardschess]

Why do people hate eureka? I dislike her but don’t know why I just do, but people really hate her lol. Explain

Thank you so much for this ask! I have a bunch of different reasons for not liking her, so I’ll throw them under the cut for anyone who doesn’t care lol

1. There are rumors that she has overhyped a lot of trauma/sympathetic narrative in order to gain more fans 

2. I think that what she says in this video is semi-problematic

3. This post is a translated article talking about how she was very obnoxious during the entire process of drag race 

4. She literally only wears body suits yet the judges GAG over (most of) her looks

5. I’m not a personal fan of hair loaves

6. It seems as though every single episode (and Untucked) is revolved around some type of sympathetic narrative for her (her knee, being kicked off of drag race previously, being afraid to sing, etc.)

7. I don’t think it’s particularly fair that she’s competing on a regular season again. I think she belongs on an all stars season

8. This was brought up by The Vixen, but recognizing your character flaws and not trying to improve upon yourself is just plain rude and so annoying. She always talks about how she’s “too much,” but still expects people to put up with her and not call her out

9. Her only jokes are about being fat which gets old after the 100000000000th time (and apparently the judges told her to stop doing it but they still get weak at every single one so that’s t)

10. I think it really showed her character on that one Untucked ep where she admitted to purposefully trying to anger Vixen in order to “see her true colors” but really just to make herself seem like a victim when she was the one that started the drama

11. Oh yeah and I almost forgot to mention this…that alone is enough to hate her tbqh

Those are just some of the reasons I can think of right now! Obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinion and such but I have never been a fan of her’s and probs never will be. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

The List

A list of songs to maybe avoid in the audition room.

Pre-List note: This list goes out the window if they tell you singing from the show is ok or if they specifically tell you to sing from the show. Remember, this list is generally speaking. Also, for some of these songs I’m going to offer some alternative suggestions – songs that sound similar or have a similar arc or character, but maybe aren’t done so often (that I know of).

Also, this list is a lot less important when it comes to community theatre, generally speaking, though it does depend on the director. Still, don’t sing “On My Own”.

Additionally, songs from shows that have been on Broadway in the past 5 years tend to be a bit too new to use for auditions, so they should probably be avoided.

There’s exceptions to every rule, but please if something is marked with a ~ REALLY think about whether you want to sing it.

The list is below the cut due to length

~Adelaide’s Lament from Guys and Dolls

This song within the show is adorable and hilarious. In an audition setting it’s just not great to sing in an accent with an affectation (the typical New York accent that Adelaide is played with on top of her having a stuffed nose from the cold). Unless you’re able to pair it with another song that shows off your real voice, it’s best to leave this one for cabarets and karaoke.

Maybe look at:

“Waiting in the Wings” from Ain’t Broadway Grand

~Astonishing from Little Women

I love, love, love this song…but not for auditions. It’s a great ‘I want’ song with a killer money note at the end if you have that Eb5. However, unless you can do it better than Sutton Foster, leave it at home. Those behind the table will probably have heard it butchered at auditions a lot and just end up comparing you to the OBC in their minds (not intentionally, it just happens) or tuning out.

Maybe look at:

“Woman” from The Pirate Queen

“Sweet Liberty” from Jane Eyre

Being Alive from Company

Sondheim at an audition is always a gamble. Additionally, the stakes for this song can be VERY difficult to build up in 16-32 bars. My gentledudes and gentledude identifying people, maybe skip this one.

Bring Him Home from Les Miserables

Unless you are going to sing the hell out of that Bb, don’t. Just don’t. It’s what we’re all waiting for. If you screw it up, you look bad. If you don’t sing it, you look bad. So my dear tenors, please have that note and have it perfectly.

~Defying Gravity from Wicked

If your name is not Idina Menzel, they don’t want to hear this. It has been so over done over the last 15+ years that the team behind the table may just tune out entirely. Also, if you can’t guarantee belting that F5 every time, you can’t do it under the stress of an audition, so don’t risk it. Yes, you can belt safely but you’re more likely to slip up with your technique if you’re nervous and hurt yourself.

Maybe Look at:

“Look at Me Now” from The Wild Party (Lippa)

“Carrie” from Carrie the Musical

~Don’t Rain on my Parade from Funny Girl

This song belongs to Barbra Streisand. It’s another one that you’ll just end up being compared to the original and that doesn’t bode well

Franklin Shepherd Inc. from Merrily We Roll Along

If you have ever looked at the sheet music for this thing you know exactly why it’s on this list. Trust me, I did this show in college. It is cruel and unusual punishment for your accompanist if you don’t know for 100% sure that they can play it (And typically that’s only because they’ve either played the show or already learned the song in advance). (Listen to it though. I love this show so much and it needs more love).

(Also I don’t really hear this one a lot, but it’s on the list as a precaution)

Forget About the Boy from Thoroughly Modern Millie

Millie in general just gets done a lot, best not to.

~Gimme Gimme from Thoroughly Modern Millie

See above and mix it with the Astonishing explanation and the fact that so many girls sing this in auditions. Heck, I used to use it a lot as my go-to for belting auditions. But it just tends to be severely over done (hence why it’s here with the ~ beside it)

Girl in 14 G

It’s hard to play the joke of the song in only 16-32 bars, so it really doesn’t work for auditions.

Glitter and Be Gay from Candide 

I’ve seen this one on a few lists. I personally haven’t heard it done a TON at auditions, but if you want to show off your more classical sound and some high notes without being all the way in the stratosphere…

Maybe look at:

“The Finer Things” from Jane Eyre: the Musical

Good Morning Baltimore from Hairspray

Eh, a fun song but Hairspray in general just tends to be done a lot.

~I Can Hear the Bells from Hairspray

The same reason as above with the added caveat that your body type becomes relevant due to the lyrics. If you don’t fit the body type for Tracy it just seems silly, like singing the title song from Legally Blonde if you have dark hair. Also this one is pretty damn repetitive.

I Dreamed a Dream from Les Mis

Between the movie in 2012 and Susan Boyle this has come back into some high popularity. Yes, it’s a lovely, moving song. This has a lot of the “Ballad face” thing that can happen (See below for where that term comes in) but you know the face, the “I’m acting like I’m sad right now but not actually feeling the emotion” face

Maybe look at:

“When I Look at You” from The Scarlet Pimpernel (Just a heads up, I suggest this one a lot in this list.)

If I Loved You from Carousel

As an article I read about overdone songs put it “Ballad face alert.” This one is hard to pull off without giving that face. If you are going to do this song focus more on the acting of it. Really think about what Julie is saying to Billy and why. Give it some background and depth not just “this is a pretty song, I’m a soprano (or baritone) and it’s a ballad”

Journey to the Past from Anastasia

Ooooh, this used to be a go-to of mine, but with the show being on Broadway now it’s best to avoid it. It’s still a nice song though. Maybe in a few years when the show has left Broadway it’ll be safer to use again.

~Let it Go from Frozen

This was on this list back when it first came out with how popular the movie was (and still is). Also belting that E and the end has a little bit to do with it being on the list. Also chances are if the people you’re auditioning for have young children, they already hate this song a lot from over exposure.

~Maybe This Time from Cabaret

This is one of those where you’ll be compared to the original. Liza is forever connected to this song in a lot of people’s minds and you don’t want to deal with that comparison.

Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera

Why? Just why would you sing this song at an audition? It doesn’t have particularly high stakes, it’s hard to sing, and is VERY specific to its show. Also it’s really plodding after a while (duhduhduhduhduhduhduh ^duh).

No Good Deed from Wicked

The stakes are high, the song is great, but Wicked may elicit some groans from the table. If you are absolutely bent on singing from Wicked this or “I’m Not That Girl” are your best bets.

Maybe look at:

“Painting Her Portrait” from Jane Eyre (The belt’s not quite as high, but it’s got the same intensity”

Not for the Life of Me from Thoroughly Modern Millie

Again with the TMM… I heard this twice in about 20 minutes at a recent audition.

~On My Own from Les Mis

If you are considering this you are either just getting into musical theatre or very ballsy. This is the archetypical audition song for women. It’s one of the most overdone audition songs. You may even hear a groan or two if you say you’re gonna sing it. Do yourself a favor and leave it for your shower.

Maybe look at:

“When I Look at You” from The Scarlet Pimpernel (Maybe)

“Wait a Bit” from Just So

“I Don’t Know How to Love Him” from Jesus Christ Superstar (Might be a  little overdone)

 “As Long as He Needs Me” from Oliver (see above note, though I think it’s a bit more classic than overdone)

Out Tonight from Rent

This song is very tied to dancing and a lot of high energy movement. That’s hard to do a) in an audition setting and b) if you’re not a choreographer. Not to mention the register switch on the melisma of “Out” is a bitch to get right even when you’re not nervous.

Maybe look at:

“The World According to Chris” from Carrie the Musical

~Over the Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz

Judy Garland sang it first and sang it best (at least in a lot of people’s opinions). The octave jumps in this are ridiculous tbqh, and if you’re nervous you may not quite make them.

Pity the Child from Chess

We call it “Pity the Singer” for a reason. It’s a difficult song. It’s super range-y. Just don’t. (Plus you’ll be compared to Adam Pascal)

Maybe look at:

“Why God Why” from Miss Saigon

~Popular from Wicked 

Say it with me: Wicked is not good for auditions because it is one of the most popular musicals of the past century.

Run Away With Me from The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown

If you really want to pay 10$ for sheet music, sure. Still, between Aaron Tveit, Jeremy Jordan, Michael Arden, and just about every other Broadway heart throb singing this, it may be a comparison you want to avoid.

Screw Loose from Cry Baby

I’ve seen this on a couple other lists and I know a lot of people who love this song (and love this show). It’s cute. I see why they like it, but the joke of the song is a bit hard to play in 16-32 bars. If you’re in an audition situation where they’re letting you sing the whole song and this one fits the show and the character you want, go for it. If not, I’d say look for something else.

Seasons of Love from Rent

This is the song everyone knows from Rent. Also it’s a group number it’s not gonna sound as good without at least 3 other people to sing the harmonies.

Send in the Clowns from A Little Night Music

Aside from being one of the most well-known Sondheim songs, it’s just sung a lot. Also, a note to you teenage singer/actors who want to sing this at auditions: Don’t. As my old voice teacher often says “You’re not used up enough for Sondheim”

Maybe look at:

“Losing My Mind” from Follies

Show Off from Drowsy Chaperone

The whole tap number in the middle, the Sutton Foster association, and the “toot your own horn” factor should keep you from doing this song. It’s like when people sing “I’m the Greatest Star” from Funny Girl, you had better damn well be the greatest star or it’ll just make you look bad to the casting team.

Someone Like You from Jekyll & Hyde

FOOOOORRRRR IFFF SOMEONE sings this song again while I’m in the room I’m gonna scream. Yes, it’s a pretty song. Yes, Lucy tugs at our heart strings as a character. Yes, people sing this all the time. Hell, I’ve sung it in my voice lessons. It’s range-y though and Wildhorn can be kinda weird for auditions (also in my opinion this is not one of his better shows anyway).

Maybe look at:

“When I Look at You” from The Scarlet Pimpernel.

Somewhere That’s Green from Little Shop of Horrors

Personally, I haven’t really encountered this one so frequently in auditions, but a friend of mine had actually complained to me once about how it’s all he hears from women at auditions. It’s a beautiful song, but between its popularity and the urge to sing in the accent/affectation that Audrey is usually played with I would leave it at home.

Springtime for Hitler from The Producers

WHO IN THE 9 CIRCLES OF HELL SINGS THIS FOR AN AUDITION?!

(Again, haven’t really heard this, but it is funny to think of anyone with the balls to sing this in an audition NOT for The Producers)

Stars from Les Mis

Beautiful song. The problem here is you REALLY have to raise the stakes for this to work in an audition.

Stranger to the Rain from Children of Eden

Another great song. However I hear this one done a lot at auditions…even once at a Hairspray audition of all things. It seems to be dying down a little in popularity though, so you may be safe with it depending on where you live/are auditioning.

Taylor the Latte Boy

Another Kristin Chenoweth, not from a show, needs the full song for the joke to really land.

The Wizard and I from Wicked

We’ve gone over Wicked 500000times now (lies. It’s like 5, but still).

Maybe look at:

“The Spark of Creation” from Children of Eden

Think of Me from Phantom of the Opera 

The cadenza at the end is tricky as hell also this has no actual purpose in the show other than “oooh see how great Christine is” and to have Raoul recognize her. There’s not a lot of context you can add to it.

Maybe look at:

“The Finer Things” from Jane Eyre (Fun fact, Elizabeth DeGrazia who played Blanche back in the OBC was also Christine in Phantom at one point in Toronto. She’s Canadian)

This is the Moment from Jekyll & Hyde

My feelings on Jekyll and Hyde are now known. Please see the entry for Someone Like You.

Maybe look at:

“The Impossible Dream” from Man of La Mancha

“Anthem” from Chess (similar sound-at least to me)

~Tomorrow from Annie

This song is great until you’re about 12-14. Once you’re too old to play Annie, you’re too old for this song.

For my younger singer/actors who want something else that fits their age...

Maybe look at:

“Everlasting” from Tuck Everlasting (Or really any of Winnie’s songs from Tuck Everlasting, I just happen to really like this one)

Watch What Happens from Newsies

The patter is tricky, and it’s sung a LOT. (It does have a nice 32 bar cut there though, but even so don’t bother with it unless you want to be girl #387 that they hear sing it)

Maybe look at:

“Spark of Creation” from Children of Eden

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from Phantom of the Opera

Phantom is kind of like Wicked in that you just shouldn’t sing from it for the most part. This song also seems like it could become over indulgent with the “I am sad now” and less genuine if one takes it just as a cut for an audition.

Maybe Look at:

“Unusual Way” from Nine

“I Remember” from Evening Primrose

Your Daddy’s Son from Ragtime

This is apparently overdone in some places. It’s a beautiful song but it is also one specifically attached to a character of Color. If you’re not of her race (Sarah is Black), maybe just don’t sing it for an audition.

A note on composers that you “shouldn’t sing”: Yes, there are some who are notoriously difficult to sight read (see: Sondheim, Stephen and Brown, Jason Robert). But you’ll generally be able to find a few by these that aren’t too tricky (or you’ll find a key that makes them a bit easier to sight read). One thing I’ve come across (just in my experience mind you) is that the accompanists at professional auditions tend to be excellent. They can play just about anything you throw in front of them. At community theatre auditions you may be a little less lucky (Again, in general. I love community theatre and think pretty highly of it) but then again you may have a great accompanist there too. A general rule is if you’re worried about the difficulty of your song for the accompanist either don’t choose that one or bring a backup in case you hear that the accompanist isn’t all that great.

My Goals!

This is more for me than anyone else, but I wanted to write down my own goals for trying new studying stuff in the new year.  I have good grades but I want better grades so hm.

1. I want to try MindMapping.  One of my professors actually published a bunch of articles and I tried it with one in Coggle (I was bored mk?) and I really enjoyed it so who knows maybe that will be something. 

2. I want successfully do the Leitner System for a whole semester.  I want to use it for al of my vocab and terms for all of my classes and stuff because Wanikani has really worked for me but Anki didn’t really work.

3. Read books during school!  I want to read all of the Series of Unfortunate Events and reread all of Harry Potter.  Those are both wildly popular book series so it’s hard for me to get the audiobooks but that’s okay.  I want to be working on one novel for the semester though because I missed reading for pleasure a lot last year.

4.  Use the Ambient Mixer: I was using the Slytherin room one and I LOVED IT omg.  It was really focusing.  I was like reading this reading for a class I don’t even have yet and taking notes and I was just like in the zone.  It was so nice. 

5.  Do regular kanji writing practice.  I just want better handwriting tbqh.  And I need to be better at writing! 

6.  Have regular study time all semester.  I think it would be godo for me to go to the library regularly to study a little bit because I didn’t do that and I think I really needed to do that so I want to find time to do that. 

7.  Use the Passion Planner for a whole semester.  It was time slots and lots of places to reflect and work out goals and I need to be writing more and being more organized so I think this will help.  

8. Actually finish Never Let Me Go before the start of spring semester.  I have been working on that book for ages and have never finished it so. 

9. Successfully use Habitica all of Fall Semester.  I started using it this summer and I really kind of love it?  I want to keep using it so.

10.  Finish the Painful Levels in Wanikani.  I have been on the painfuls for over a year and I really want to finish them and keep up with my kanji learning.  I know I can do it if I keep at it so I just need to do it!!!!!

April 10: Today’s Reading and SCOTUS Thoughts

I started reading Sula today. I’m only about 10 pages in so I don’t have many thoughts yet, but I like it. It’s not that it’s hard to read or understand but I still feel like it requires a certain concentration that I didn’t quite have when I was reading over lunch... Maybe it’s just that so far it hasn’t done what I expected it to do or gone where I expected it to go and that’s the disorientation.

I also read a few Above the Law articles on the Supreme Court. I was honestly afraid of ATL when I was in law school; its snarkiness did not match up well with my constant fear of everything. But I like it now that I’ve graduated as an easy way to keep my law-brain limber. Also during the Gorsuch hearings it was the only place I could go to get fast news that I could actually stand to read--maybe (definitely) this is elitist and annoying of me, but I can’t really bear to read analyses of legal happenings written from a non-legal POV.

Like the amount of liberal hand-wringing over the frozen trucker case was so embarrassing to me, honestly. I don’t like now-Justice Gorsuch either, nor would I like pretty much anyone nominated by a Republican (especially this Republican lol), nor would I have accepted on an even basic level literally anyone who isn’t Merrick Garland getting hearings for Scalia’s seat, but there are other more important things to talk about, for example the corruption of the entire process, or even other more concrete issues within Gorsuch’s whole philosophy that are way more relevant than a dissenting opinion he wrote once like who cares. Especially because the more liberals write sky-is-falling summaries of that case like “Gorsuch wants working class people to LITERALLY FREEZE TO DEATH” the more I have to join conservatives in mocking them and you know I hate agreeing with conservatives on anything like don’t make me do that, it’s gross. (There’s a huge difference between ‘I personally think his life is worthless and want him to die’ which is evil but not what Gorsuch said, and ‘Something unfortunate happened to him but the law doesn’t redress this particular injury,’ which in this case is still wrong but is a lot less evil and much more in line with what judges do like every single day and that’s all I’ll say about that) (I’ve been wanting to write this for so long omg anyway none of that matters now welcome to your lifetime appointment Neil).

OR we could have talked for more than a milli-second about how the new Justice is a plagiarist but whatever it’s not like writing is important on the Supreme Court lol.

Anyway today my actual reading consisted of an article about how to fix the confirmation process (I would be down with any of these ideas tbqh but a decided first necessary step is just some more widespread acknowledgment of how bad this situation is, like this is a literal farce of the third branch uggggggh) and this quick summary of a case the outcome of which we can already pretty much guess, as well as this short but imo important post about the Court as a partisan entity from Rick Hasen’s blog.

...I was so fucking tired this afternoon that I fell asleep after work but no regrets. The only point of today is getting through to Tuesday is getting through to Wednesday and going on vacation.

[keagan-ashleigh]

To follow on the puzzles on thelostspecial.com, I saw people talking about the source code so I opened it, and indeed there was this:

Just saying, this website confuses me, there’s no index, the navigation is shit and this is overall a very impractical website, provided by Wordpress but there’s no owner. Though when I ask informations on the page, it tells me the url of origin is: http://t.umblr.com/ . Sorry that’s in French but here’s how I know:

Anyway. So there’s those lines in the code, the so famous you see but you don’t observe, and those numbers: 13 9 16. I did what I always do, I searched it on Google, because sometimes, that’s the first thing to do. Here’s the first thing I found :

Matthew 13:9-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

9 He who has ears,[a] let him hear.”

The Purpose of the Parables

10 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” 11 And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:

“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand,    and you will indeed see but never perceive.” 15 For this people's heart has grown dull,    and with their ears they can barely hear,    and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes    and hear with their ears and understand with their heart    and turn, and I would heal them.’

16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.

Yup. The first thing I found is the biblical version of “you see but you don’t observe” (coupled with “I was told but I didn’t listened”) - I highlighted the lines. What a coincidence!

Now let’s examine the rest of the verse and lets go full meta by considering maybe this is addressed to us - I will analyse this text as if it was talking about the fandom after s4 and “the lost special” (and I can because it actually fits, you’ll see). It’s funny that the next line describes pretty well the our state of mind since s4 aired: “this people’s heart has grown dull”, meaning we are heartbroken, so to speak, because the story we believed in disappointed us and left us hurt, confused, angry... Putting all of these emotions under “dull” is accurate, and I’ve seen many people use that word to describe their feeling, and that’s the one I’d use to describe my own. Next line says that because we’re “dull” - disappointed, hurt, angry, etc - we closed our eyes and ears to the show and the possible things that are still meant to be seen, the clues in the show. We turned our back on it, somehow, and so we’re missing something. The clues leading to “the lost special”. The rest of the text says that if we listen and observe, we’ll understand, and we will be “healed”, meaning the whole thing is gonna be fixed. The very last verse says that we are indeed seeing and listening, and this may be about the tinfoil hatters who haven’t stopped looking for clues.

Now I get that this is a bit much like applying a song to johnlock, you see, I can take whatever romantic song and makes it fit the narrative so perfectly it would seem like it has been written especially for it, I’ve dozens like that. But let’s admit that here there’s a big coincidence, from the numbers to the subject of the verse. Maybe the person who made this site put a reference to this to tell us “don’t loose hope and keep waiting”. I have to admit that I’m mildly convinced by that, I said it many times, I’m not the most convinced tinfoil hatter, I just don’t know where to stand in all this mess. But the thing I can’t deny is that as improbable as it seems, the lost special is a possibility. So maybe that’s what the creator of this website wants us to believe, whoever they are (this can be someone from the staff, or someone from the fandom who just wants to have some fun).

Note also that there’s also other possibilities, the numbers may also refer to a date (that’s what I was initially looking for), or anything else. About the date, all I found is articles saying TAB won an Emmy for Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Supporting Role at the Creative Arts Ceremony; that mofftiss were very angry because of Bake Off (x) (x); and there’s this article by Radio Time written that day about the fact we’ve been missing a big clue. And there’s this article about another show that disappointed its viewers because some stuff don’t make sense and I quote: “It was just too far-fetched, too ridiculous.” Apart from that I searched on my blog archives and I found nothing safe from the Radio Time article, nothing important happened that day in the fandom. And that’s it, I didn’t go further but I don’t think we’ll find really interesting stuff that way, I don’t think that’s a date (not a real life date, at least, maybe the scripts released lately have something related, but tbqh I’m too lazy to search that).

listen. because i was given the gift of time, i have subsequently lost all of the fucks that i used to give. i’m just going to link this post from wednesday morning right here because it says exactly what i’m thinking right now. but also i’m going to copy/paste part of it because i’m lazy and don’t feel like rewriting stuff but also i want to say something. idek what any of that means, but here’s my opinion since no one asked for it:

the more articles i see about harry going solo, the more the press says about his future solo album, and the more they try to distance him from 1d, while harry continues to say absolutely nothing at all, the more i think he’s decided to say ‘fuck all y’all’ and not do a solo album at all. it’s not that i don’t want it, because yes the fuck i do. i want 7 million solo harry albums (i’m not going to go into solo anyone else in the band rn. this is about h) and i want to buy 10 million copies of each and build my next house out of all the cd cases. i want it. but i think harry is petty. like, i think he is the pettiest. so so so so so so petty. i can literally see him not making a solo album just because everyone expects him to. and he wants to do the unexpected. i’m not saying he won’t do collabs or whatever, and i know he’s writing, but i think he’s going to act more. i think he’s going to do at least one other movie before the hiatus is over. and, no, i’m no insider and idk any secrets, this is just my gut feeling. i could be totally wrong and would be happy to be, like i said, i would buy all the copies. and i know that 2016 was fucked up for lots of reasons, and there could be any reason for him not to announce anything, especially since he’s got dunkirk and with jay’s illness maybe he was just waiting, and i guess we’ll all find out eventually. but i think the point of all of these words was that i just don’t think it’s happening. just my opinion, which doesn’t mean shit, tbqh.
