so I move into this new house, and I love it to pieces, but as I live here I notice a few things that kinda like. are annoying or slightly unlivable, but it's not my house I'm renting so I can't do anything. so I email the property manager a list. notable things being, the oven tape that says what temp the oven is is gone (so don't know how hot the oven is, baking be damned I guess) and the cupboard has SIGNIFICANT bowing to the point I'm not hanging my clothes in case it breaks. also the curtains are mouldy but if I store them I'm storing mould and I can't throw them bc they're the owners property.

she gets back to me via phone and says "just clarifying your list bc the previous tenants never reported these things and I'm not sure how it's a problem?" fuck off???? for real??? idc what the previous tenants could live with. I'm here now and I want to live in a nice place.

I try to explain to her that I need to know what temp the oven is at and she's just like hmm okay I'll mention it to the owner. like no, fix it????

also the bowing she's like "well if you don't feel comfortable hanging your clothes in the cupboard that's unfortunate, but the landlord is happy with the bowing and doesn't want to fix it" fuckijg for real said that

idk this is just proving to me that landlords don't see their property as anything except their own asset, don't consider that people are actually LIVING IN IT. this is my HOME!!!! I want to LIVE HERE as long as I can!!!!! but you don't want to fucking incurr a single cost on your asset that's going to have wear and tear to fix over time as people live in it??? fuck landlords man

most of us have heard of the red car game. you’re on a road trip, you’re bored, you start looking for red cars to do something.

and then they’re everywhere. you notice them nearly every few minutes.

there aren’t suddenly more red cars now, of course. you were seeing them already, but you weren’t noticing. you weren’t looking.

I am noticing things.

there is a plant I notice everywhere now, a small bushy plant in suburbs, along streets, by shops on the highways. dwarf umbrella bush is what the internet tells me when I look for it’s name. I did this because I wanted to know why,

every time I ever saw it, every place,

it was always dying. always the leaves turning yellow, the branches small and scraggly. inside out - nitrogen deficiency. their soil drained.

I am noticing how many of these landscaping plants are yellowing, how small and sickly they look in just a few years. I am noticing how often the grass outside the house is replaced when it once again turns brown and dry, how the type never changes and the cycle starts again. I am noticing how the unmowed, unkempt spaces on lakesides and roadsides look more alive than this. how the preserve I grew up next to was miles of “messy” unmanicured nature and the ground was covered in leaves instead of grass and there was life.

I am noticing the birds that come by the lake. there was a flash of blue wings and red chest - eastern bluebird, male, relatively common. I had never seen one before. there is a family of ducks that appear every spring; i cannot say if it’s successive generations or different ducks, but I can always look forward to ducklings. there are little brown birds with white heads whose names I do not know - are they some kind of piper? why don’t I already know?

why is it so hard to learn about my native plants (accurately, that is)? why are so many gardening sites littered with people who think a plants value is based on how pretty or useful it is to them, who think a tree shedding leaves is “messy”?

why is knowing about the world we live in so… odd? why is it a hobby and not vital knowledge? I learned about polar equations. I taught myself about mycorrhizal networks and species of insects.

(did you know there are shiny green bees? a special species of wasp pollinating figs? that white flowers bloom at night for moths? do you know? have you looked?)

I cannot look at a lawn and see life anymore. it is a wasteland, devoid of life, dying slowly itself. everywhere is grass, grass, doused in water that runs over into storm drains, soaked in fertilizer and pesticides and a hundred other poisons and sending one clear message:

this is a place of death. life is not welcome here.

I do not think I could live in a city. too loud, yes, too busy, yes, too many people, yes, but the plants would bother me. a tree allotted only a convenient square, surrounded by dead stone and metal.

a forest cleared for this, for burning asphalt streets and racing cars and shops whose bathrooms are “for paying customers only”.

this is a place of death. life is not welcome here.

and now I am noticing.

I had a dream about ctommy and cwilbur sitting together and talking about how weird it is that their story had been put on pause. They keep waiting and waiting for the plot to continue but nothings happening, their days stay peaceful and uneventful. Wilbur says that’s not how it’s meant to be while Tommy responds with “Well then why am I aging then? Why are we changing if it’s supposed to be on pause?” And then the dream morphed into some other unrelated thing but I’m still thinking about this…

[ ID: a transcript from The Magnus Archives episode 192. It reads:

Archivist: You ready?

Martin [wearily] Ah, sure. Lead on, Macduff.

Archivist: It's, uh, "Lay on--"

Martin: [Frustrated] Sh--I know, I know! I know. Go. Just go.

I hate that tubbo is my streamer because I can’t ever have a day to catch up on vods because what does he do when he finishes stream?? Go live! And then I can’t even escape him on his own vacation because motherfucker is bringing his PC and would be like “omg flight stream!” Because he’s DONE IT BEFORE

Hope everyone enjoyed today's QSMP Cinema event!

As expected, many VODs were unfortunately muted for certain animations because of copyright issues. I know some of the artists weren't able to catch everyone's reactions to their work, and I'm sure there are many other fans & VOD watchers who missed out too.

LUCKY I was able to archive Foolish, Roier, Cellbit, and Quackity's reactions to all the animations, and for anyone interested in viewing them, I'll be uploading them to Google Drive and will post the links here when that's available.

I love how this interview started all “yeah we’re best buds! :D paper palls!” And the rest of the time Paper and Fan have been so passive aggressive with each other. I, for one, stand for this paper beef

Edit: No longer passive aggressive. They are now fully aggressive with eachother

So Greg Bryk regularly goes live on Instagram to chat with his followers and answer a few questions, and almost every time, someone asks if he’d like to play Joseph Seed again if he had the chance, to which he used to always reply that, yes, he absolutely would. However, in early 2022, he didn’t seem so sure anymore and said it would depend on the script (the question was specifically about a potential Far Cry 5 movie) and the writer(s). Then, a few months later, he implied he didn’t feel like playing the Father ever again because he thought the character’s story was “finished” and that Ubisoft should focus on creating new things instead…

Well, on October 14, 2023, he once again went live on Instagram and, when people mentioned Far Cry 5 in the chat, he revealed that he had reached out to Dan Hay and Drew Holmes, two of the game’s three main writers he’s become friends with, and that they had visited him “on set” (I’m not sure what he was shooting) the day before. In the past, he had already explained several times that he had loved working with them and thought the story they wrote (along with “JS”, Jean-Sébastien Décant, the game’s third main writer) was fantastic. This time, he added that Far Cry 5 was really “special” to him because the writers “cared a lot” about creating something great with amazing characters, and that he thought the whole Seed family was really well-written.

A few minutes later, when he was asked which character he would like to play again if he could, he said it was hard for him to choose because he loves them all, but he eventually picked Jeremy Danvers (Bitten) and Cobbs Pond (Frontier).

Then, surprisingly, he also mentioned Joseph.

I don’t know why he changed his mind again or if the fact he contacted Dan Hay (who doesn’t work for Ubisoft anymore) and Drew Holmes (who recently became the new IP Director for Far Cry) means anything, and I’m not sure I want more Far Cry 5 content to be released anyway (for continuity reasons), but I guess the Seed family’s return, as equally exciting and truly terrifying as this eventuality sounds to me, isn’t completely out of the question anymore in Greg Bryk’s mind!

no but for real not to beat a dead horse that i havent seen and dont plan to but they keep trying to do live action atla and i just Do Not Get It? its already been done? quite well? the original cartoon is very good and it doesn't feel like its actually really lacking in a way that a remake would improve upon, and it doesnt seem like either remake has improved upon it, and it doesnt feel like they ever get the tone right either? and why are they only ever trying to adapt atla? why not the comics? or korra ? the adventures of fire lord zuko. i mean fuck i dont even like that they turned toph into a cop but they could do a Toph crime drama procedural. probably shouldnt i dont think that would be good but at least it would be like. a new idea. fucking, adapt the kyoshi novels maybe. i wont forgive you if you fuck them up of course, but im already not forgiving the live action ATLAs so like idk. why not try something new. something a little more original.
