#oh no i want to get ACADEMIC about this

[image description: a quartet of images from star wars: the clone wars and ahsoka.
1) gif of star wars: the clone wars season 3, episode 15: overlords. ahsoka points something out in the distance to obi-wan and anakin, saying 'hey, i saw something! a reflection, up on the hill.' they are on mortis, and she is referring to a beacon located atop the monastery of mortis, where the father resides.
2) screenshot from the ahsoka series of episode 8: the jedi, the witch, and the warlord, showing a statue of the father from the mortis arc, located on peridea.
3) screenshot from the same episode. baylan skoll looks out over a mountain vista, a beacon atop one peak.
4) the same screenshot, contrast increased, zoomed in on the peak with the beacon.
/end description]
dave filoni, i am staring at you so hard right now. i am rotating this in my mind along with obi-wan's line of 'i can't even lock down
where in the galaxy we are, or if we are even in our own galaxy.'
#keeping up with the skywalkers#ahsoka series#ahsoka spoilers#baylan skoll#i'm not saying there's going to be abeloth but i'm not NOT saying there's going to be abeloth#the nebulous concept of mummy eldritch dearest#not straight out of the fate of the jedi novels#i also have THOUGHTS about peridea being the witch kingdom of the dathomiri ruled by the great MOTHERS#and how there's ur-kittât on peridea talking about kujet & how he might have travelled between the galaxies#and how the map to peridea looks v. similar to the astriums of the zeffonian sages#and the just how semi is the semi re-canonization of outbound flight as the vagaari pirate operations in the ascendancy series#oh no i want to get ACADEMIC about this

So I'm not getting on any sort of "I disliked James Somerton before it was cool" thing because that blatantly isn't true, I was just as much of a fan as many others were before Hbomberguy's video.
But even after subscribing to James, I typically looked at his videos talking about a certain media more than his general queer history stuff, because when he wasn't focused on a specific topic, I found it hard to retain what he was saying and understand some of his explanations. "His" definition of camp particularly flew over my head. Now, I thought this was a me problem, that I just wasn't getting it because I'm a visual learner and hearing things academically is a bit harder. But now that I know 99.9% of his shit was stolen, I've realized why I'm not the problem!
My brain felt like I was experiencing an academic textbook because the shitstain was reading unfiltered academic text at me, at times like he was reading off a Wikipedia article--WHICH HE LITERALLY DID
#me before: my brain isn't smart enough to get everything he says :(#me now: oh no that's wrong he just stole indiscriminately and patched it together in a shitty manner#not all of his sources were strictly academic but now i'm sure i could point to which ones that are because that at times#super over complicated writing style of text books can be easy to spot if you properly look for it#not that i'm watching one of his videos ever again fuck him i just wanted to vent about realizing this#james somerton#hbomberguy

Please indicate when you're done with the Starved Event because Pages thoughts are being thought and I wanna know what your thoughts are about one particular scene later in the event.
My vote's for poison. How quickly we forget that it's been implied that Pages taxidermies authors that it really likes
#Fallen London Spoilers#Fallen London#Mr Pages#The dictionary is telling me that taxidermy isn't a verb with conjugations#Oh dear what about LEXIDERMY#OH DEAR OH MY#Anyway I expected Irons and Fires to show back up at the end#But Pages was an absolute treat#I assume Irons and Fires actually cared about protecting London#Or at least Irons was happy to have a good fight#Did Pages just want to show off???#Make a big speech?#Pages why did you show up to fight you don't even want to stay here#I mean for The Academic's timeline this uh#This certainly means something#If I have time maybe that fic will get a second chapter#Eeeeheeheeeheee#I'll bet that Pages had to watch The Academic die#HEEHEEHEEHEEEE#I'm CERTAIN it didn't care at all#I'm CERTAIN it wasn't worried in the least that a stray photon of sunlight might've hit the exceptionally unlawful Mr Cards#Instantly wiping them out of existence#Actually EVERYONE should be writing fics with their PCs right now#You ALL have a perfect opportunity to make your loved ones SICK WITH WORRY#Have you considered the TERROR as your fav NPCs watched you soar right into the sun???#The Ex-Disgraced Academic#Scribbles#Picshuas

feel like an academic the way i was about to make a rebuttal paper to a thesis claiming that sylvie had no feelings for loki in s1 but then i remembered i have to do things like attend classes and pay bills so that's gonna be shelved for a while
#all readings of fandom are welcomed here but i do have my own interpretations i believe and that's fine#i just will cite my sources#gestures to the blanket scene. the pruning scene. the one good memory scene.#have y'all ever sat down and read academic discourse? those “in reply to” papers?#i just got exposed to my first one recently and oh boy. the whole body cringe it induced was inescapable.#like imagine a bunch of experts in the field getting so mad about how WRONG you are they have to submit their findings to a journal#and you the poor jstor user just trying to write a paper are subjected to incredibly niche discourse#i understand the importance of calling out ideas you believe do not have weight to them but like consider this:#it probably hurt that guy's feelings :(#i actually was team “guy this paper was saying is wrong” his theory had good evidence#and the writing was so condescending i didn't want to root for them anyway#but regardless. i had a point somewhere in there that has been muddled.#sylki#pro sylki#loki series

fuuuuuck ive dug myself such a massive hole and there's no climbing out now
#he speaks#love lying to my parents about how my uni career is going#cause i know they would cut me off from EVERYTHING i care about if they find out im failing anything#so just softening the blow by being like hey im barely passing#(which was still a DIFFICULT convo)#and saying oh im struggling heaps keeping up with readings and assignment deadlines so im just doing the bare minimum cause im exhausted#cause adhd#and them wanting to be super helpful and being like oh give me a list of your assignments and their due dates and your readings#and ill read the stuff and look at your assignments#cause you said you were doing summer semester to catch up on your classes from the trip#but in reality youre not you just said that so your parents would let you go#but now youre gonna have to do assignments over the summer break (aka for the next 4 weeks) and then be stressed about getting set up#and now youre so far in that you have an elaborate plan that you've “talked to the academic advisors” about your struggles and your adhd do#and both said you should go part time#so that it looks like youre graduating “on time”#but in reality youre just catching up on the courses you failed#and still struggling and hating full time#i stg if there were ANY other way to get the qualifications i need for this job#i would have left uni after first semester#i actually fuckin hate it#sorry for the rant lmao#kinda a vent post

planning this little take on my brothers keeper bc thats one of the confirmed i will recreate this episodes for roleswap but its like danny works with spectra bc hes a little spiteful and wants revenge against the school in his own way but even he’s like okay. this is a little fucked up ngl so hes unsure about it but he fully betrays spectra when she tells him shes going to kill jazz because he may have complicated relationship with her but shes still his big sister and he doesnt want her dead
#thining about jazz and danny in this au#dp roleswap au#jazz and danny have such a complicated relationship bc he does resent her a little bc shes better than him in every way#but jazz doesnt want to be compared to anyone shes just doing her best#hehe complicated sibling relationships my beloved. they do get healthier but jazz is interesting bc shes sort of a catalyst for his joker ar#danny is rlly mean in this au im sorry like i was just sotting here going i made him too woobie. hesnot dickish enough#LIKE. danny is incredibly morally gray here. but he has Morals#his crimes are pranks maybe a bit of stealing but for ghosts and idk property damage? being a nuisance.#oh but he does regularly commit academic misconduct

#adventures in post-academic academia#i know#hindsight is 20/20#whatever#but it's like every single fucking decision they made over at least a 200? 250? year period was the wrong one#just everything they touched turned to dogshit#…thinking of a AU where france managed to take brazil from portugal and#oh hey that's worse#that's so much worse#aaauuuuuugh#i want to shake just about every single last one of these fuckers#except for diogo dias#he gets a pass#…for now

venting real quick
#tw alcohol#sooooooo I feel nothing lmao#i'm hollow and emotionless and empty#spent all day just wasting and waiting for time to pass#my heart is tired. my soul has been drained.#going to bed and calling it a night to escape this wretched state is an option#but i'm not sleepy in the slightest and i don't want to go lay down#and it's still pretty early#so if i go to bed i'll just be wasting even more time and feeling miserable#and if i fall asleep i'll wake up groggy and sickly and miserable#so me - being a very rational human fully in control of herself - ams seriously considering just getting a bit tipsy to pass time#maybe watch some dumb show to forget about my misery for like an hour or so#i know i shouldn't cause health or whatever#plus i have a meeting at 10am tomorrow and i've been having trouble getting up in the morning#PLUS tomorrow i'm finally gonna meet up with the student's office to discuss my special needs status#and what options I have to not have this school year completely ruin me#oh yeah right this september i applied for and got accepted to have special needs status for mental health reasons!!!!#(my university especializes in psychology and they - on paper - can grant the status to students with chronic mental health#that suffers from a chronic mental illness that's considered very severe that is frequently debilitating)#that significantly affects their academic experience)#both of which are my case. it's not very common tho so I'm fortunate they accepted me for the status!!)#anyway the council was supposed to inform my raging bitch of an advisor that i have the status#so we could write down a schedule that would better fit my needs#thing is she seems to have no idea#and I haven't brought it up yet#because 1.) i don't know how to#and 2.) i'm constantly scared she'll think i'm like. leaning on my status too much or throwing a “pity party” or something#which - objetively speaking - is a bit of a silly thought because my uni has given me the status because (cont.)#they felt it was fair and reasonable and that I have the right to have an uni experience that better fits my needs#BUT THAT'S THE THING LIKE there's this looming feeling in the back of my head that gives me massive imposter syndrome

I may have hit an all time low mental health wise but I'm being so chill about it
#just randomly tearing up/crying for like 30 seconds before i tell myself#no. it's not worth crying about it. you keep those tears inside your body!#my life might be falling apart right in front of me after i tried moderately hard to prevent that from happening#but i refuse to cry about it (more than i am in these random 30 seconds of intense existential despair washing over me)#i need a plan for the future.#step one. get degree. hopefully achieved by may#step 2. apply for internships and jobs#step 2.2. find job to earn money before getting an actual job#(i think my professor changed her mind and doesn't want to keep me as her assistant after all#i haven't heard anything back for ages and the contract was supposed to start again in may#so. let's see if i find something else)#step 3. leave this godforsaken town and university and never look back. don't think about what could have been#don't think about academic work ever again. just let go. it's not worth it#step 4. try to make life less miserable somehow lmao. (optional)#i want to tell my mother about this fucked up situation#just so i don't have to hide it anymore and pretend things are going as planned#but i can't#oh well#I'll probably end up without any courses this semester so I'll just rot away in this ugly apartment#i hate everything and everyone istg. but it's chill. i'm so. chill. about. this.#(yeah no i don't usually use that word that often. or. ever tbh. just another indicator just how chill things are.)#void screams

an idea that i think would be funny: a fic in which nhs wants to Do Something. he is genuinely very bad at it and is flying by the seat of his uhhhh underpants all the time. i repeat: no hidden genius powers. he is not very smart, and struggling all the time. however, because he’s also god’s favourite little comedian, somehow some things happen to have good results, some have bad results but people magically don’t notice, and in some cases his squirming actually helps someone. he is incredibly stressed and tired all the time and nmj is like “what the fuck, he’s not even doing anything” and, yes but he’s Trying (and failing, and it takes energy too)
#i'm talking like. nhs wants A and B (unrelated; some randoms) to get along but in the process he makes A think B is their enemy#therefore A conjures up a wonderfully idiotic slapstick-level assassination plan that nhs now has to stop#but in the process of THAT he somehow helps B voice their feelings for C#it's like. a pouch filled with deadly poison falls from the ceiling aimed precisely at B's head but they lean in to kiss C. danger avoided!#but wait! C seems surprised. do they... not...? B steps away about to apologize for their misunderstanding -- but they step on nhs's hand#and almost fall! only for C to catch them and confess THEIR feelings!#(nhs's hand was there because he wanted to snatch the poison pouch away and dispose of it)#stuff like this. i think it would be neat#idk if it needs to be said again but just in case: i am not calling nhs stupid with the intention of offending him. it is vitally important#for me to have idiot representation. his brain shows the highest immunity to academic/cultivation knowledge lqr has ever seen BUT he can#stay at his rooms and paint for SHICHEN UPON SHICHEN without even noticing the passage of time! isn't it cool!#(no. this is how you get a young master nie who SPRINTS out of his room to find a toilet (has been ignoring his bladder for hours)#but who swoons (because he also forgot about eating) and bangs his head on the wall and a disciple notices him like NIE GONGZI?!#YOU'RE HURT WE NEED TO TAKE YOU TO THE HEALERS' PAVILLION and he's like Oh God OH Fuck No i just wanted to PEE :(((#if he's actually super smart but only pretending then what's the fuckening point. where's the punch that comes with the realization that an#innocent boy who loves art poetry and leisure has turned into a ruthless adult driven by revenge who doesn't even care how many people die#on his path to it!!! if he's protective od nmj and hypercompetent then what's the poooooint!#he must be stupid and in an ideal world Stupid He Remains.#thanks for coming to my insanity. i'm about to have breakfast at 3pm. cheers#shrimp thoughts

#everything needs to stop being so interesting. like bro i wanna focus on one thing at a time#but not its like everything constantly so im like trying to hype myself up to do photosynthesis stuff bc#its interesting and will b useful before i start my phd#but my brain is like: no. u want to draw and learn about the history of religion in the near east#someday someone will approach me wanting to convert me to their religion and they will not be prepared for my readiness to#jump into theological discussion. like if my dad dragged me to church now id probably go harass the pastor afterwards and b very critical#abt their presentation lmao. religion is just super interesting from an academic perspective#it is a bit weird tho bc now when i see ppl getting weird and gate keepy abt obscure religious stuff im like bro wtf#thats probably an aspect taken from other traditions of the time before the judeo christian god was consolidated as an idea#like theres so much lore and interpretation wtf r u talking abt? and then im like oh wait. i somehow forgot this is a religion and ppl#believe these stories as the word of god. which makes it even more interesting bc it makes academic discussion contentions#sigh. whatever. also shout out to the time i got into the truck for sampling. turned to my lab mate and went: hey i went in deep on the#jesus lore so im gonna rant at u for like an hour about unpacking jesus the man thr myth thr legend lmao#to b fair it was kinda his fault i started on this path bc hes like weird and judgmental abt ppl believing in religion and i was like hm i#dont like that. religion is interesting. i will not learn more bc u have annoyed me. bc that's how my brain works and here we r#last year evolution was my big thing and this year its near eastern religion lmao#unrelated#*i will lean more. not i will not learn more

exploding my math teacher with my mind rn
#theres so many layers to the trish lore#i do not want to call her my math teacher so i am calling her trish. get fucked#like first things first i used to be ‘friends’ with her daughter in like grade 2 and 3 bc we were the same age#but also her daughter like. bullied me.#and she goes to my school now and ive only been in one class with her last year and afaik she’s nice enough now just annoying#and so i’ve been to her house a couple times. i have been in my math teacher’s house when i was like 7#and her husband is a cop btw. bc of course he is#anyways she treats us like actual 4 year olds despite literally never having taught any younger than grade 9#and she gave us 4 pages of work each with like 30-50 questions on them and they were all really complicated. ON THE SECOND DAY#and then i laughed at a thing my friend said yesterday one (1) time and two boys were like. quietly talking at the back of the class.#and other than that it was completely silent. but she went on a tangent about how this is an academic course and she expects better for like#5 minutes. like girl first of all we are teenagers what did you fucking expect. were you wanting perfect maturity and professionalism from a#group of 16 year olds. and also she’s been teaching hs math for over a decade like girl you should know this by now…#OH ALSO when i was friends w her daughter my mom talked to her yk bc thats how parents work when youre little#and this mf woman somehow looped my mother into a PYRAMID SCHEME#LIKE…#rambles
