jake oettinger pre-game — DAL vs EDM — 03.08.25
[you’ve seen him in the playoffs, what’s the scouting report? big?] yeah. [strong? pretty good shot?] (laughs) yeah — check, check, yeah. just, uh, i mean — a game-breaker, guy you circle, you know, when you play against him. um, just so dangerous. uh, i didn’t realize how big he was until i met him in person today, so just … um, you know, the fact that he’s gonna be wearing, you know, green for the next eight years is incredible, and, uh, we’re really lucky to have him and, uh, just — can’t wait to, to get into it with him. [do you guys ever look at stats and stuff like that? i know robo does sometimes, i don’t know if you do — he’s got a 101 points in, like, 81 playoff — like, playoff games!] (laughs) yeah. yeah, i mean, that speaks for itself. you know, he’s a stanley cup champion, uh, knows what it takes to get all the way and, uh, we’re obviously gonna lean him for that experience, and he’s gonna be … obviously, the centerpiece of this team for the next eight years, so, just, uh — when you can get a, you know … top five player in the league, to join your team when you already have a great team, is, is pretty special. so just, now it’s up to us to make it all worth it.

Fuck, just had a hell of a Holland realization, which everyone else probably realized years ago but indulge my horror: The Danes have their stone statue garden of traitors. And the only thing we've ever seen in WL that can turn people to stone is As Staro. The command Holland used to kill his fucking brother. The idea of him having to replicate that kill over and over with the traitors the Danes wanted to make sharpest examples of, and then walk past those kills every fucking day? I have nothing else to say except it's a fucking crime Holland didn't get the same sort of triumphant, bloody fight against the Danes Lila got against the earth mage who tried to kill her in the tournament, because to say he deserved it so much more is the flimsiest possible understatement.
#to be clear. nothing in canon supports this hypothesis. except that well. we absolutely see!#Holland do this particular command and there's not a lott of other ways to make fucking statues#I think it was Dendritic-Trees in her phenomenal ADSOM reread who said of the Danes: what do you even say about human beings like this?#and as much as I love! and write myself! fics shading in the Danes as villains but also people who of course see themselves as the hero of#their own tale. sometimes her comment is a big fucking mood.#Holland lived with these fuckers for seven years. that he had the capacity to A. have any moral code at all but then to be capable of#showing immense mercy in not making Kell use the Inheritor when Kell. honey I adore you but you pushed him through a door to hell for your#survival (don't get me started on it taking seven years for Kell to ask second-hand about the details of Holland's servitude we'll be here#all day.) the depth of Holland's strength is remarkable#Holland Vosijk#Shades Of Magic

#this is not a flex it's just a genuine need to go ''holy shit'' at someone#I cannot normally do that.#I had an idea for a post that really caught me and then I did absolutely nothing else for the next several hours#I got so into it I didn't eat breakfast 😬#anyway new all time longest meta post coming. sometime in the next week I suppose#it's not done yet so we'll see how soon I actually finish it#about andie

ummm actually i know i said i was going to bed in the tags of my last post but. i think my approach to religion (specifically catholicism and the way it exists in my head) will always be in the aspect of like. was going to call it a story but i think the better term is a text. obviously there are rules and tenets and expectations set out by the religion but all of this is done by extrapolating that information through analysis of the literature. and taking greater meanings and examining authorial intent is only part of it, because if it's a story, that means that it has characters, that it has a narrative, that it exists in the context of how we tell stories and it has a universe within it that operates on the rules established by the story. so the figures in the bible are both figureheads for the concepts that they represent and also characters of their own right, ones that you can examine the motives of. and none of this necessarily means that you believe in satan as like. an Actual Guy who is out there doing things. but you can engage both with the theological concept of him as a representation of all the evils presented by the church and also with the character that is present within the story. multiple aspects of the text. literary analysis from multiple perspectives. i don't even know what i'm saying anymore this made more sense in my head tbh
#smth there though. thread to pull on.#i'll write some poetry about angels and it'll make me normal again#absolute fucking lie but we'll pretend it'll fix me#valentine notes#was saying i can tell i'm doing better again cause i'm not thinking about religion as much#which is true!! cause this is different!! cause it's not about me!! i am thinking about the religion itself as a body and a text!#because a text is a body is a text again. we understand.#anyway i'm engaging with the themes and motifs it has nothing to do with me practicing any kind of religion#'i need to pray the rosary' bracken is different from 'i want to talk about the theological implications of the story of eden' bracken#ur just gonna have to trust me on this one...#okay jesus christ i need to get to sleep. desperate times#catholic tag

me tuning in to watch a new cop show because jensen is the lead
#for the record i'm giving it the benefit of the doubt *slightly* more than this meme implies#but this was my mental image when i saw the announcement so i had to make the meme ;P#from the information released it seems like it might be about a conspiracy or a major cover up within multiple branches of law enforcement#which *might* make it subversive / somewhat critical wrt the role of police#and *might* also make it interesting enough to hold my attention despite it 1. being about cops and 2. not being a true genre show#but we'll have to wait and see once it airs i guess!#i'm willing to give the pilot a chance based on what we know so far though#anyway my kingdom for jensen to do something that has absolutely nothing to do with cops some time soon please and thank

i think growing up is just life repeatedly sucker punching you and saying bitch you thought things were gonna better lmao no you're so naive and stupid for having hope in 20 years the world will be flaming bag of garbage and no matter how hard you work you'll get eliminated at some point
#and then you just have to get up and keep living anyway because what else is there to do?#but man my heart keeps feeling heavier with every blow#2024 has literally been the worst year ever god personally too#like everytime i think it can't possibly get worse than this it does#i remember literally 9th jan i had such a horrible breakdown in an auto because the first friend i ever made#after school was leaving my work and therefore my life#9 days into the year. seriously. and i was so happy on 8th because it was my birthday#i don't know im trying hard to think okay this doesn't even affect me it's fine im privileged enough that even my own countrys politics#barely affects me#but just. india is already so behind in everything. if developed nations are doing shit like this then well#it will never get better right like who do we even strive to be#i want to get more into indian politics but my god. it's so horrifying and depressing all the time#like i remember resolving to follow politics closely few years ago and the first news#i read was about some minister talking about how girls skirts lengths IN SCHOOL is the reason boys do sa and boys will be boys etc etc#i know i could just follow business news stuff like that god knows it'll help in my field but it just. doesn't resonate with me doesn't#make me feel anything at all. like i so desperately want to care about ooh stock markets and how to grow your money etc etc#but when i think about being rich enough to invest idle money all i can think is sitting in my own home peacefully#drinking a glass of cold coffee and just being able to breathe freely because me and my sister used to joke in childhood#when dad went thru a coffee v bad for health phase and he wouldn't let us drink it so we would drink it very sneakily#at night when he was asleep or went out for an hour and make absolutely no noise while mixing the sugar. we said that we know#we'll* know we have achieved true freedom and happiness in life when we can peacefully drink cold coffee in the hall and not secretly#in the dead of night in our room#i don't even know what im talking about and my period is late again and nothing is working and my lazer focus#that i had built in the past few weeks is gone because suddenly im like what is the point????#i just don't understand how the fuck humans can fight over stupid fucking things like who is kissing who and who is doing what with their#body instead of focusing on collective issues like our planet is dying so fucking fast and every summer is getting impossibler to survive#i hate that the united states control the UN fuck this world fr man i hate being born in such horrible helpless times#like call me a kid or dumb or whatever but i cannot understand how MILLIONS of people do not#have sympathy for ppl around them and who don't care about the planet at all like how????? how did you grow up????#not trying to boast but this is so natural to me!!! didn't you make save water save earth posters in school!!! didn't anyone

i hate feeling ambitionless aimless the future is so bleak
#this is about me not the events#i really don't think i have a plan lol and i ever will...#because all through school i had this thing. need to pass this unit test this half yearly this 2nd unit test final exams need to do this#cocurricular activity and the absolute relief when i flipped the report to see i was promoted every year. that was the aim right#now i don't know what's happening#a set set of friends i met everyday sat next to permanent place in the field where we had lunch. like?#it was all so permanent#i knew teachers did not like me or how people there felt about me#and i think a lot of it comes from the fact that i never changed schools#14 years in the same place then one random tuesday it ends everything ends and im supposed to start from scratch#losing friends was all my fault but goddddddf. i used to be good at things#like when i was in 10th grade i gave my everything to studying maths because mom threatened me that if do not get science here we'll change#your school#to wherever you get science#so i studied like crazy did not touch my phone for months and got science#like that is my level of attachment to that place#i just miss it so much probably more than my own home#and i can't belong anywhere because i'm so stuck and nothings good enough and i miss being good and being academically productive#it was my only win i think#this is so sad but i don't think i'll ever get that past work ethic back and it will never be good enough for me to feel good about myself#which can only be through study or work because im a loser who thinks she's worthless if not for a successful career#and I've felt this way for three years now. it is going to be permanent#everything is lonely

OH WAIT
in light of me reading the Imbalance comic, where Suki teaches a bunch of non-benders how to chi block, do we think Amon's henchmen who can chi block are like. an unintended consequence of Suki teaching them?? like how apparently Kyoshi originally trained the Dai Li and came to regret it because of how corrupt they became?
#bc cranefish town or w/e is basically the setup for what becomes republic city right??#hm. Interesting#i even thought that while reading the comic#like i understand why she taught them to chi block#but that's something that absolutely would have consequences#and look if there's one thing i think the kyoshi and yangchen novels emphasized it was the Unintended Consequences#the best of intentions can always have the worst consequences#and everyone in the present is paying for decisions that they had nothing to do with#yangchen had to deal with the consequences of a fire avatar being too dedicated to his own nation#kuruk had to deal with the consequences of yangchen neglecting the spirits#kyoshi suffers the consequences of kuruk dying far too early bc (imo) he refused to rely on his friends#the roku novel comes out here soon i think so we'll see about him and what mess kyoshi left him with#aang suffered the consequences of roku not taking care of sozin when he should have#im still too early to say/remember what korra suffers as a consequence of aang#but those are all just the avatar consequences - all the outside consequences#and now consequence(s) doesn't look like a real word anymore lmao#kellyn watches

most of the time I literally don't care that I'm short, like, whatever, I'm very used to living life at this height. But I will say, the one thing more annoying than trying to reach things on high shelves, is when contractors come over and I already feel like a child bc I don't understand thee technical shit they're saying to me, but on top of that, I'm looking up at them bc my head's no higher than their shoulder level. Like, I promise I'm 28 not 12. I promise. Now pls install a new plug socket for me or replace my tap or whatever and don't ask me where my parents are
#absolutely fucking humiliating#i hope this gets easier bc we've been talking about finally redecorating our house which may involve getting people in to do it for us#bc we know ourselves and if we say we'll do it we'll just never fucking do it#but since my partner's new job requires him in the office 5 days a week and i got made redundant i'm now the one at home all the time#so i the tiny woman will have to be the one advising the big tall professional men#i think it probably doesn't help that what i'm doing while they're here is making youtube videos about knitting & futzing around making art#i do feel that makes me feel more childish - like my partner's out at his important job and i'm just over here playing with fibres#and yeah i'm hoping to make it my job at some point but rn it isn't a job it pays absolutely nothing#so yeah i'm pretty dependent on my partner rn. dependent like a child#anyway i had this thought and thought maybe it was funny or relatable or something. idk

im not going to discuss molaesmyr with anyone who hasn't read at least a single book on decolonization.
#“ludinus is exactly like the gods!”#“the gods at least had a reason to destroy aeor!”#go unpack your support of imperialist ideology & then we'll talk#for the record im exaggerating obv#im just sick of people putting blinders on#and acting like they suddenly dont understand power dynamics#molaesmyr has absolutely nothing to do with whether ludinus is right abt the gods or not

||. me, still waiting for updated confirmation that thor will be in avengers 5...
#(ik at some point it was “confirmed” he would be in avengers 5 but that to my knowledge was also when they were-)#(-building up to kang... so given everything that's happened i think it's safer to assume-)#(-that absolutely nothing is going to be the way we thought it would be in 2022)#(anyways “when do i get my thor 5 updates” is the real question)#(feelin' some kind'a way about tony stark turned dr. doom...)#(isn't dr. doom his own character??? i'm confused as to how that's supposed to work)#(it's not exactly like a spider-man situation where ANYONE can be spider-man bc everyone can fit into 'great power = great responsibility')#( ooc . ) — stories that leap from the page .#(we'll see i suppose)

what to talk about in therapy today ... 🤔
#text#neg#i know i should talk about The Trauma but like#i dont know . its just#euck . i dont want anyone to know What Happened except for people who Absolutely Have To#which is like. title 9 guy + the investigator.and thats it#but i also like . dont want to talk about how i Feel bc its the same shit over and over what if talking abt it doesnt help#and i know how itll go ill talk abt it and we'll talk abt coping mechanisms and then the conversation is over and i think this therapy isnt#right for me. which sucks. and i dont want to deal with that right now or ever#And like can i even get better without talking about it. can i even get better at all#like how do i when i have so much older shit to work thru too. its all tied together i cant just heal one part of it i dont think really#and its also like. nothing has really Happened with The Situation this week its just been me getting really scared and really sad#over and over. so i dont have an update or anything for him i just have. yknow. I Feel Sad And Scared And It Wont Stop#and we can talk about coping mechanisms but it wont help bc ill use them in the moment but that just gets me thru the moment#it doesnt get me thru Everything. it doesnt fix the problem#and its also like What does.what does fix the problem#or do i just live like this forever

Yesterday, in light of things going not so great to poorly for myself and others, I hoped for today to be kinder...
My fucking bad apparently y'all, I jinxed us. I'm not hoping shit for tomorrow, good or bad or neutral, I'm just gonna exist and try not to break anything, fuck's sake
#text post#I picked a bad day for a t break so we'll see if that lasts into the evening or not#should it? yes probably. will it? not gonna guarantee it#bc rn just. nothing is working for the extra funds sites other 'fun' sites aren't working well either#and in between that there's just absolute shit or terrible news everywhere seemingly abt everything like jfc#the temptation to go back to bed is v present but that'll just fuck up my sleep schedule so even that's out for today#just do not have the patience and spoons like fuck's sake let me do SOMETHING USEFUL#i'm considering doing some writing but part of me is just. idk. nothing feels good rn but writing at least is Doing Something
