#note to self: keep learning

[tagitables]

9 October 2024,

The unexamined life is not worth living, I guess.

At the end of the day, everything is part of the learning process.

There will be little nuggets of knowledge and experience to bring home, as always.

I will do the honour of asking you your timeline for how tamcien fell in love, please share 🙏

thank you for indulging me ily 🫶🫶

okay this is offensively long because I have thought about this a totally normal amount. (also i’m miserable and so this is not a happy timeline. at all. mainly bc 1) im incapable of thinking of tamcien as happy individuals and 2) I don’t feel like there is a lot of universes in which tamlin and lucien would actually get together and I feel like they are forever dancing on the will they won’t they line. so yk. miserable)

Tamcien to me is very much unrequited love but not in the way that you’re thinking, it’s more of a they were both in love with each other at some point but never at the same time kind of thing. like the times they were in love with one another never overlapped. not really anyways.

Tamlin was in love with Lucien in the very early days of their friendship. I almost like to think that the minute he saw Lucien at spring’s border, bloody and haggard and all, he was drawn to him almost instantly. And then the more he got to know him and the more they became friends, the more his feelings developed. But he never did anything about it because he was so painfully aware of Lucien’s tragic love story with Jesminda. He knew how much he loved her and how suddenly and cruelly he lost her. He never felt like he could match up to her. He never felt like he could compete with her and what her and Lucien had. He almost felt…awful that he even liked Lucien when he’d just lost who he thought was his mate. It just never felt like it was the right time. So, he never did anything about his feelings, spent years yearning and watching Lucien blossom into the male he is, and eventually being only friends with Lucien was enough. It had to be.

And then we have Lucien who fell in love with Tamlin way too late, right around Amarantha came around and all the cursing happened. Pretty tragic timing to fall in love with your best friend, really. At that point, Tamlin was too caught up with Amarantha to notice him and everything was just falling apart. Lucien lost his eye, Amarantha cursed Tamlin and his court, all their friends were dying all around them. It never seemed like a good time to say anything. So, for 50 years Lucien watched Tamlin lose himself with every friend they lost, every year that passed and the curse was not broken, and he watched feeling more useless than ever and still just as hopelessly in love with Tamlin as ever. And he was so in love with him that when Feyre came along, he was willing to practically hand Tamlin over to her if it meant he’d be free. He was so in love with him that he told him exactly how to woo Feyre if only it meant she’d have him and he’d finally be free. He loved him so much, he stood by and watched as he got with Feyre and smiled for the first time in years. His best friend was happy and so close to being free. It didn’t matter that he wasnt apart of that.

And now…well we know where they are now. It’s never the right time. (they’re just idiots actually but whose gonna tell them that)

[angy-grrr]

I don’t get why ppl keep saying bkdk is dead or Horikoshi broke off bkdk. If that were true, this extra would look very different as you pointed out multiple times. The extra was still heavily focused on them and I hate how ppl are letting one no dictate the entire relationship. Izuku asks him to be a special lecturer too. I think the no just needs more clarification but other than that it is mostly fine. If a ship were to be shut down by the creator, it would look very different. Same logic for if a ship were to be canon, it would look different than what we got in the end for izu///ocha. This extra was bad in different ways from ships. It was just a whole lot of nothing that doesn’t meaningfully add anything to the story but I guess we shouldn’t be surprised since it is an extra. It is still an ambiguous ending that can be pretty fixable by one shots by Horikoshi in the future or even better by fanfiction lol. Except for the Toga part. That is just inexcusable

himiko-chan :(

and yeah! like even tho 431 is terrible not only for pairs but also for the whole story, it only confirmed Katsuki feels something really strong for deku and he doesnt notice bc he doesnt consider himself to be that great; they keep talking, and they keep being in each other's lives with no problem -they also imply they will work on communicating their feelings, as the special lecture is about this topic and deku also thinks katsuki doesnt see himself in a high regard. This is actually something that could be used in the future, as their relationship and arc isnt completely finished -in the way that they arent at a point of no miscommunication, no yearning, etc. They still need something to work with in regards to themselves and each other in the process. When it comes to midoriya and uraraka, idk what exactly could develop from what 431 tell us -seems to be mostly about paying attention to the ppl in your life instead of just letting life happen I guess? But idk what conversation or arc they could have together that wasn't resolved already, it was a really weird choice to focus on them as if there needs to be more explored -which is why choosing to not make them talk to each other nor think of the other in these years is potentially interesting, like the only way they could actually need to talk things up or have a separated special moment is if they just stop being friends and want to talk more from now on. Like, if they kept their friendship these years and were part of the other's life, there wouldnt be a moment like this at all.

I think it hurt mostly ochako -and deku if we interpret it as "deku just wants to be teacher, he is super happy about it, and loveeees so much his ex bestie after 8 years of no contact and never thinking about her"-, more than the bkdk relationship.

It would be interesting to see those one shots, if he does them -I know he said he wanted to do more things and little drawings and content for it, but idk if he will do something elaborate or just one page of something silly. I think he still has to opportunity of working with the material and make something at least not this bad -or completely ignore 431 and just continue with their adventures like 430 implies lol If he wants to double down with the "romance" I have no idea how he could do it with what he has tbh, unless he just ignores the plot and their personalities.

After considerable time on hiatus for the flash animation... it is time.

Thank you for your continued support for my webcomic!

It has been quite an intense week 🤞

If you want to be happy, I hope it comes true.

I hope you will be happy too.

fascinating revelations out of my dad's professional coaching of the whole family today

my mom scored astonishingly high on empathy and caring for a woman who seemed to find it next to impossible to express that to me

my dad has done an insane amount of work to be so warm and personable considering that his natural inclination is towards strong reserve rooted in anxiety (just like me!!)

my sister shocked - SHOCKED 🙄 - to learn that she scores almost zero in empathy AND very high on manipulation

actually shocking reveal that my sister always knew she was my mom's favorite. like I kind of assumed she was mean to both of us but apparently most of the biting comments were for me

33. Something that you want to learn?

Sooo many things:

Languages — I already speak English and Spanish, and I took a Japanese course in college. But I’d love to go deeper into Japanese and also start Mandarin Chinese.

Instruments — I grew up playing piano, various percussion instruments (snare drum, tenor drums, marimba, vibraphone, etc), and in recent years I’ve picked up ukulele, kalimba, and lyre. I’d love to get even better at the lyre and also start learning the harmonica (I got a set recently to try!)

Other skills/hobbies — I really love trying out and exploring different skills and hobbies, like a recently I made a few sculpted canvas pieces for my apartment. But a few others on my aspirational list rn are DJ-ing, flair bartending, and swimming (really just getting better/faster/learning the proper techniques for all the main strokes).

All in all, love learning! :)

ask me stuff

[plusultraetc]

Saw the tags on the Toshinori post and do you have more to share?? Any insights? If so I’d welcome hearing them 😭 He really is so self-sacrificial and it hurts but it’s truly at the core of who he is

This has been sitting in my inbox for almost a week because I needed to make a futile effort at organizing my thoughts into something coherent--but this is as organized as they're going to get for now! Thank you so so much for the ask though bc I do love to yell about MHA <3

(Obligatory reminder that I'm watching this show in such a confusing order so if what I'm about to rant about has been addressed before and I'm harping on it unnecessarily I Am Sorry.)

(For anyone curious, this is the post btw)

SO. It feels relevant to mention that my sister and I were talking about All Might in the first place because we were talking about MHA Moments That Haunt Us. For me, it's the 'I am not here' sign hanging around the neck of the All Might statue in Kamino Ward after the Paranormal Liberation War. It literally lives in my brain rent-free 24/7 365 days a year, especially with the AM vs AFO fight being relatively fresh in my mind. The reversal of All Might's catchphrase and all it represents hurts, but to display it at the site of his 'last stand' in Kamino? That's brutal.

All Might vs All For One and how that rematch plays out is so so important to the story for so many reasons, but one of them is that the fight itself is a sacrifice. Toshinori gives everything he has, short of his life, to defeat All For One. He gives up his physical strength, his public image as the unbeatable Symbol of Peace, and, effectively his Quirk ("Goodbye, All For One. Goodbye, One For All" haunts my every waking moment, still!)

This battle is also the culmination of years of All Might's life and heroic philosophy (because Toshinori has been both practicing AND preaching self-sacrifice in the name of the greater good since we met him. It's what he thinks a hero does). Kamino is the sacrifice to end all sacrifices, if you will. Yes, he does get to walk away from the fight with AFO, but he walks away irrevocably different, almost unrecognizable. He's forced to totally change his focus and his mindset and his life. Everything he has given up is made literally visible in the deterioration of his body.

But most most importantly, All Might's sacrifice at Kamino was... all for nothing. Even if AM defeated him in that moment, All For One is free less than a year later. The world is in shambles. People are afraid, and their faith in heroes is crumbling. Heroes are afraid, and this time, they have no idealized symbol to rally behind. When Dostoevsky wrote "Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing," he was talking about All Might btw.

Toshinori gave this fight (and his career, and being All Might) everything he had, and it still wasn't enough. He sacrificed so much of himself, and so much of how he perceived himself and his purpose, and he didn't even save the world. He just bought them time--and not much of it. I think that's why he's so desperate to keep fighting, no matter the cost, no matter what condition he's in--even 'quite literally half-dead.' He can't let Kamino be the Symbol of Peace's final stand, because Kamino was ultimately for nothing. Instead of saving the world, it has been reframed through the sign on the statue as All Might abandoning the world. And ever since then, he's been scrambling to prove that he is still here.

(There's also probably something here about Sir Nighteye telling him that he was going to die. Since Nighteye used his Quirk on him, Toshinori has been anticipating sacrificing his life for good. Knowing that his entire hero career is effectively a fight to the death has probably maximized his self-sacrificial tendencies.)

if you have a question, it is wholly okay and arguably important that you at least sometimes look up the answer. if you aren't sure about information you want to share on social media, you can also double check its veracity prior to sharing. if you still aren't sure after searching for more information yourself, then asking strangers on the internet is fine, but confirm any answers you receive prior to internalizing them. (which you can do by using key terms from others' answers in your subsequent search strings.)

this won't stop you from interacting with others on tumblr dot com. instead, it will deepen those interactions, improve your digital literacy, and prevent me from manifesting as your sleep paralysis demon.

I was always under the impression that you are Dutch.... Succesful dutchification

ah huh! i have fooled another one (jk jk).

i am not, i am very much still a humble australian, last time i checked. and unless this ancestry dna test on my desk proves anything otherwise, i remain very much Not Dutch.

[quotidian-oblivion]

So ofc I have plans to move out once I am able to, but I don't think I can live alone. Ever.

a) I will get scared that there is a Slender-Man-like creature always watching me

b) Shifting from living with 5 people, 3 of who are the shriekiest and loudest gremlins ever encountered, to just living by yourself doesn't sound like a good plan. I will drown in my loneliness.

But mostly because

c) I will not sleep. Ever. If no one reminds me. And I will not eat either. Probably would die out of starvation and dehydration (/nsrs)

Because my dad has to keep reminding me at around 12 that "Hey, it's 12, go tf to sleep" and I scrunch my eyebrows and go "Really?? What??"

Because I looked at the time, 11:30pm, today, and realized that I forgot to eat lunch and dinner. And I hadn't had breakfast either. Just pasta and a couple Tim Tams while at school and iced coffee & a handful of mini sugar biscuits after coming home.

So, to my future roommate: I apologize. Just a tad. Idk how you're gonna put up with me, but I am excellent at looking after other people's healths and will make you warm soup and lemon, honey and ginger tea if you so much as even blow your nose thrice around me in one day.

Call it a mutual symbiotic relationship.
