#they are simply SO italian....

u def should think abt a kayaking au

brother all i THINK about is kayaking au... it might happen i have to decide if i want to get off from my job and then think more about my job at home. i think i should write all of those boys at a trashy ABC party in a shack in the forest drunk out of their MINDS. the true raft guide experience...

my major roadblock that i need to chew through is that i would need to make these boys APPALACHIAN or at the very least do a lot more research on the whitewater scene in europe. easy for rosquez if i wanna make it a pure elite kayaking au and have them jetsetting to random rivers all over the world bc then the set dressing doesnt matter much (and like. i have some international kayaking racer friends/family so i have some insight etc) BUT harder for the bezz/cele hot raft guide summer au i actually wanna do. i dont know what whitewater rivers are raftable in italy or what classification system they use (i know. there is creek boating. i know there's some rivers in the dolomites. i have NO idea if the whitewater culture is similar AT ALLLLL so i dont even know if i could DO it justice.) and i would have to either invest some TIME in either figuring that out OR trying to explain why a small pack of young italian men are chillin out in western north carolina. i guess i could handwave all of this but its stuck. in my brain. trying to imagine cele at beloved regional fast food chain bojangles and failing

if you've ever wondered how long something can sit in my WIP folder, this one is probably the idea I've been kicking around the longest

so. you see. what happened was.

last year I was reading about socratic dialogues in the renaissance right. only at one point, I got it confused with platonic discussions, and when you start reading about platonic discussions of love, you run into marsilio ficino, and I just kind of. stayed there until I ran out of books to read, and finally decided to finish this up!

Plato's Persona: Marsilio Ficino, Renaissance Humanism, and Platonic Traditions, Denis J. J. Robinchaud

the carpentry crew got sick of listening to the same pop playlists at work yesterday (Spotify algorithm makes everything so samey even if you try vastly different starting points) so for the last two hours of the workday I went out on a limb and requested opera bangers. it went over terrifically despite initial skepticism. makes sense once I realized that classical music (“classical” in the broadest sense) is what we use culturally to signal elevated moments of high drama or emotion. even sweeping sawdust feels epic when carmina burana is the soundtrack

Hi beevean! I'm not sure if you know this channel, but Master Alucard (who makes Castlevania videos in Portuguese), did a video criticising Nocturne and the Netflix adaptations in general. Him and his comment section are ripping the series apart and I love to see it. There's one quote that really stuck with me "Nocturne is not an adaptation. It's a completely different universe, unless you think that the essence of Castlevania is just a guy killing a vampire with a whip. And if that's the case, I'm sad for you man."

Yooooooo the dude who made that 4:30 hour lore video?????

(I never finished that video, sadly, but the love he put into it, all the fanart, the little extra, the composition - he's good! And I'm so mad I can only understand 30% of his other videos because he didn't put subtitles of any kind 😭)

"Made for Fans (of Netflix)" my man is already going for the jugular, I love it

I'll try to watch it, but honestly, I think he should consider adding at least Portuguese subtitles for extra accessibility. That comment you shared already nails it. I also agree with these two:

"It's incredible that Netflix fans have no idea about Castlevania and if you say that the series is rubbish they come with seven stones in their hands to try to defend something that they don't even know what they're talking about."

""Castlevania: Nocturne" is proof that you cannot blame a person for a poorly done job, obviously Warren Ellis was mostly to blame, however we must remember that for a game, series, film or anime to be your way, it is a result of all the people involved, taking just one bad piece out of the equation doesn't change the final direction when creative directors, storyboard artists and reviewers are the same, it can make a big difference if you're lucky, but some characteristics won't change unless the entire team is changed"

SO fucking pleased with my on-a-whim stop at savers bc these are the sweet spot of classic/subdued/comfortable for the several twelve hour days i will be having for graduation. still need a blazer/cardigan situation, and would love a metallic or fun print since the dress itself is very plain, but it’s surprisingly hard to find a fun blazer/cardigan situation

Last year (?) I watched an interview with an F1 guy about some controversy (??) and when asked about it he simply said “that was definitely a moment in time” which. Is both such stellar media training and so fucking funny that I unironically say it all the time now. Political scandal? Moment in time. Work drama? Union strife? Fandom mayhem? It was, you guessed it, a moment in time!

the worst but also the best part about learning languages is when you reach the point where you are constantly aware that the people you talk to and the media you consume are all making cultural references that you simply do not get so all of a sudden you’re like goddamn it i need to read every piece of classic italian literature ever now

Dude Mo seider was so turned on by those big dudes and loving feeling like a tiny delicate princess next to them.

🗣️🗣️🗣️

WELCOME TO MY THESIS

i like to call it fridge on (emotionally mini)fridge action wherein moritz seider, noted six four two hundred pound man, once described by roman josi as a “big guy”, frequently said to be giant and huge and etc etc etc by mickey redmond, is the Babiest Girl Alive. flirting and laughingly saying “oh nooo don’t get me ahaha stop” while being manhandled by several men!!! giggling uncontrollably comparing his legs to the size of other men’s arms!! making sure everybody knows how much bigger than him joe is!!! if the common theme of all these things just so happens to be making him feel small and delicate that’s just a coincidence he can’t be blamed for that, YOU’RE the one treating him like a perfect princess
