Listening to a video game talk in the background of my work and like... were smartphones already so big in 2013? As in, widely adopted to the point of high schoolers bringing them to school? Was that an America/Western Europe thing? I know I have memory issues and 2013 just so happens to be the time that I have trouble remembering but... really? 2013? Was that a thing? Maybe it was and I just can't recall? Uhhh?

I know me not having a smartphone in like 2015 was weird, to the point where I was the 'retro tech' guy back near the end of middle school but... uh. I'm a little confused.

found my old notebook and read all the weird logs I wrote in there in the vernacular. one of them was our Home Economics cooking class last year-

'M DYING, HERE'S SOME OF THEM AS ACE ATTORNEY CHARACTERS (NOT word for word as in the notebook bc i don't have it rn and also I'm translating):

Apollo: I DO NOT CARE, YOU DO NOT CUT THE CRUST, OFF THE BREAD!!!

----

Pearl: *makes mango juice with evaporated milk for the first time in my life*

Phoenix: does it taste good?

Pearl: I-I DON'T KNOW!

Maya: We need a taste-tester. *side-eyes Phoenix*

Phoenix: *sighs and drinks in the other room*

Phoenix: It's okay.

Phoenix: *gags it back out*

----

Phoenix: Does it taste good now? *drinks*

Phoenix: *gags again*

----

Trucy: *drinks mango milk juice* iT TASTES LIKE BREAST MILK.

Apollo: How do you remember what it tastes like?

everyone else: *slightly suspicious staring*

----

Edgeworth: LARRY PROTECT THESE SANDWICHES WITH YOUR LIFE *goes across room to cook more eggs*

Larry: *keeps face within 2 inches of sandwiches*

Phoenix: he said protect them with your life, not infect them with your germs.

----

Trucy: look at (classmate who complained about cutting the bread's crust off) being emo over there.

*cut to Apollo looking over the balcony outside broodingly*

----

Larry: WHY WON'T YOU GUYS SHARE YOUR MANGO JUICE?! THE OTHERS LET ME EAT THEIR SANDWICHES!

Phoenix: *pats his shoulder* They probably thought you were a homeless man.

Edgeworth: *pipes up from behind them* He's right, you know.

Absolutely fucking wild to me that people will so readily set aside their morals for mediocre fast food joints. (ex: queer people eating at chick-fil-a, people who claim to be pro-Palestine eating at McDonald's or drinking Starbucks, etc.) Like, never has the phrase "you have the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair" been so fitting. Or perhaps "you would break your moral backbone for a chocolate eclair".

do u guys think I can animate a 5 minute video in like 8 months

[faunandfloraas]

inadvertently stopped using my freckle fade cream without thinking.... right around the time i started making gifs of felix.... coincidence?

[piplupod]

also while im at it (and by it i mean probably making a fool of myself) i do want to say when i say that i am kind of stupid i am being so genuine. my reading comprehension is so dirt poor.

school did a shit job of teaching me anything and i suppose then it should've been on me to fill in the gaps (grand canyon sized gaps in this case but i digress) but i was struggling just to get thru the days as it was. in english class i learned to just ask my classmates what they thought the answer was to symbolism/meaning questions and then sift thru what they said to find the bits that seemed correct (based on patterns i'd noticed in previous assignments of books/plays/films/etc) and then mash it together until it resembled an original idea. so i never actually learned to think for myself and i'm SOOO MAD at myself for that. did i get thru school with decent grades because of it? yeah sure. but now i haven't even done anything w those good grades except take a couple office admin and accounting/bookkeeping college certificates that im never going to use bc [gestures at my whole situation].

and now i've got piss poor reading comprehension, and i feel foolishly proud of myself when i watch a movie and i figure smth out independently that i then end up learning is like... baby's first symbolism. just skimming the surface of understanding. the sort of thing that everyone else figured out right off the bat and it took me maybe two days of analyzing the movie to figure it out.

head in my hands !!!!!!

Do you ever think how incredibly Young Juwon is when the series starts? He was 27?? I just turned 26 and I do Not think I'm capable of handling whatever mess he was in by the time I'm 27 like, he's just a big stupid teenager

happy belated birthday, mineh!! i hope your 26th year is a good one!

but also, yes, to address the rest of your ask . . . maybe since i'm only 23, 27 years old still feels so distant to me/feels a little more grown up to me, but at the same time. i do think that 27 is still a remarkably young age to have the kind of career that joo won has had at that point. like, working in foreign affairs + already an inspector at 27, whereas when you look at the manyang substation, hwang gwang young is the only inspector . . . and i would guess that he's anywhere between his late thirties to early forties, but he's also rather ambitious in his own right. and then you look at cho gil gu, who's def. older than hwang gwang young (or at least, he seems at least a few years older) but isn't at inspector status yet. ji hoon is the youngest in the group, although i think according to the script book, he's only a year younger than joo won . . . and he's only a patrol officer. (then again, ji hoon also started his police career later, i think.)

and then if you look at all the people working in the violent crimes unit, too, i think that puts everything else in perspective. like, ji hwa had been working in violent crimes for eleven years, i think, and she's probably forty years old. that means she would have started violent crimes when she was twenty nine, which is still rather young, but she at least had a few years on joo won before she started to get into the really nitty gritty parts of work. kang do su is relatively young too (i would say that he's probably in his early or mid thirties??), but still: older than joo won.

so that said: yeah. han joo won is def . . . i think incredibly young given the work that he has to handle. that said, i feel like that just. speaks so much to who he is as a character, because i don't think he ever really had a chance at being young? like, an actual child? (which is probably why he simultaneously seems grown up and. like. childish. something something people who grow up way too fast are constantly swinging between "eerily familiar with disturbing concepts that most people only have to reckon with when they're fully grown" and "astoundingly immature").

hit a rough patch processing my gender in the past few days & have been feeling down about not being able to talk about pretty much any aspect of my identity without tacking on seven disclaimers and a vocab quiz 😮‍💨 wish I could just put the identity crisis on hold until I finish my finals

when I was in 8th grade I had the same teacher for physics and geometry and he was like one of those dudes who always wanted to be one of the cool kids but never was so now he got to be the cool teacher that all the cool kids loved so he would like straight up bully the weird kids (me and my friends lol ✌️) and I thought it was wack as hell that a grown ass man was calling my friend, a 13 year old girl, stupid in front of the whole class for asking a fucking question so I constantly told him to back off and would get in full on screaming matches with the man about why he was not allowed to treat us like that (at one point I basically told him that if he ever made my friend cry again I would not rest until his teaching license was revoked lol) and it got to the point where he was like. actually for real beefing with me during class and in the hallways when he saw me and sometimes after school

anyway I just wanna say first of all fuck you Mr. Glasson, second of all what kind of like 28 y/o man has a fr beef with a fucking 13 year old. I literally wore a cloak to school. he was having beef with a child with pink hair, in a cloak. can you fucking imagine jsbdksbdndmdbnd

being forced to participate in a class debate and then having classmates assume my personal opinions are those of which i’m forced to defend for the sake of debate
