4 out of 12 pages are references. That's about half of the references i will end up using. So. 8 pages of references mean i only have 30 pages not 40. Help¿?

#uh #it says 40 pages in Total including references and that official statement you didn't plagiarize #which takes up an entire page #and i think also the german summary we're forced to write for some reason #which will also take up 1 page #i haven't even finished my 1st chapter #i have no introduction either #i might be able to make the references a bit less space consuming #by setting the line spacing to 1 instead of 1.5 as for the rest of the text #i usually do that for term papers as well and no one ever complained so i can get it down to 6 pages #goddammit #I'm just rambling #this is a disaster #academic misery

if you're wondering what the big deal is about the louis-philippe sentence in les misérables, it is, in the original french, 760 words long. the subject of the sentence doesn't appear until 95% of the way through, at word #711; the main verb is word #712. the sentence contains 91 commas and 49 semicolons and is almost entirely a list of laudatory adjectival phrases describing the erstwhile king of france. this is perhaps especially notable because les mis is, shall we say, not known for being particularly gung-ho about the monarchy.

this sentence copied and pasted into Word takes up more than one page single-spaced. in the 1800-page folio classique edition, it is fully two and a half of those 1800 pages. that means that les mis is 0.14% this single sentence. more of les mis is made up of this sentence than earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide (0.04%). if the page count of les mis stayed the same but every sentence was the length of this one, les mis would consist of only 720 sentences total.

incidentally, guess who named hugo a peer of france 17 years before the publication of les mis?

#he also goes on for another six pages after this but by then he has remembered the existence of the full stop #the endnotes say that hugo 'se devait de faire [ce portrait] aussi favorable que possible à la personnalité de l'homme #qui avait favorisé sa carrière' (had to make this portrait as favorable as possible to the character of the man who had favored his career)#in fairness to hugo it's not like louis-philippe was alive to read this. so he wasn't just sucking up to get something out of it #he says at the end of the chapter that this description is 'entirely disinterested'. which like on the one hand i get #bc like i said louis-philippe was not in power and reading this. but otoh victor 'ancien pair de france' hugo u r not exactly unbiased. lol #les mis #lm 4.1.3 #i just looked up the english translation and gasp! hapgood turned it into four separate sentences!!!!#so i think y'all who are reading it via les mis letters (which uses hapgood i think?) are gonna miss out on the full experience :/#my posts #linked to #syntax #idk if i got this across but the worst part is that the subject of the sentence - the beginning of the independent clause -#doesn't occur until the very end. so for the first 95% of the sentence you're just waiting for the bass to drop!!!#like reading it out loud you have to raise your pitch at the end of every dependent clause because you haven't gotten to the subject yet #AND THERE ARE SO MANY CLAUSES!! 49 SEMICOLONS PEOPLE!!! FORTY-NINE!!!!#victor hugo would be TERRIBLE as a hype man. he would take so long that the crowd would tear him to pieces with their fingernails #before louis-philippe could come out on stage. and then they'd be so mad at louis-philippe for inspiring him that they'd tear LP apart too #actually i think i'm using hype man wrong. i'm thinking of the guy that gets the crowd hyped up for the main guy before the main guy #makes an appearance. a hype man is the guy who makes interjections during a song. victor hugo would be bad at both of these #like just imagine the announcer at the beginning of a basketball game. and now...your starting lineup...at power forward...#and then he just says the 760-word louis-philippe sentence.#dead. murdered at the hands of the fans. microphone shoved down his trachea.

I CANT USE CSS ON ARTFIGHT...............

#I WAS REALLY HOPING TO FIX THE FUCKING. PARAGRAPH WIDTH. SIGH #idk why but it stretches across the ENTIRE page like. it takes up the full width of the browser and it BOTHERS ME. ON ALL THE PAGES #i could try manually putting shift breaks but im worried it might not look so good on mobile. ugghh... auyggghhh.....#im already learning CSS and API so i thought i could put it to good use but. AUGH #this whole time ive had to go into the inspect panel myself and change the padding so i dont have to read the length of the screen #like a fucking typewriter... i would have also loved to use custom fonts and animations......#i did find a guide for BBCode which the site uses on default and it covers basic styling but its not the same. sniffle #you CAN unlock CSS if you donate $25 to the page which seems fair. and if i could do it i would but. i do not have any way of #sending or receiving money online </3 i really need to figure out how to do that so i can set up comms like i said i would last summer #but it intimidates me.... and im already kept on a short leash when it comes to that so it feels like a lot of things could go wrong #i think toyhouse allows CSS or some sort of code...?? i remember seeing some oc pages with custom layouts #if thats the case i'll try fiddling with it but im not very familiar with using toyhouse so thatll take a while #(thanks again for the code sal ^_^ ill put it on my pin once its ready but im trying to learn my way around the site heh ;;)#at least i can use my pixel dividers.. ive been digging around for pixels to use and found some really cute ones #yapping

I'm so excited for my D&D campaign

#i ran one in this world for two and a half years where everything is ravaged by dragons #but now theres been a somewhat revolution because one of the only surviving major cities was impulsively conquered by my players #so things have been shaken up a lot and now they have a holiday because they brought i think three gods to earth at once #two of my players became the vessels of the gods of light and darkness and duked it out and fast forward a year or two #and their hold on the economic powerhouse of the continent is solidified and they have partnered with an organization #that specualizes in magical artifacts from every concievable reality #and my NEW campaign is people hired by this organization #The Forge of Wonders #they have this entirely greyed out library full of strange books that when you pick them up gain color and you can read their spines #and these books are stories. theyre fairy tales. theyre pirate adventures. theyre dragon babysitting. theyre demon apocalypses.#and these stories are worlds. theyre stories in truth. and my players have been hired to dive into the stories and retrieve Thing #for the forge of wonders #which means i get to make WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT BITCHES #i get to be so fucking impulsive with my story crafting #and im not going to balance anything correctly. theyre just going to have to assume from the summary in the front page if its doable #demon apocalypse? probably outside of our level. gnome tinkerers? probably not too bad #and ill have prebuilt stories and something theyre taked with retrieving and they get to choose which onr yhey do #anyways the forge of wonders started as a magic shop that only accepted platinum (1000 gold) as currency so they did a lot of shopping ther #i just took that old document full of crazy magical items and i tweaked it and molded it and added to it and the new version is 33 pages 🥰#thats what ive been doing at work the past three days lol #dnd #my dnd

What stupid names? Can I know the names?

Ghirahim, Sephiroth, Zant, Kirby... I'm blanking but I know I have so many more.

(shout-outs to Cris!!! love ya buddy xoxo)

Micolash is a perfectly respectable irl name(a Hungarian variation of "Nikolas", iirc), but on him it has such a Vibe but then again I am writing Him. The name is the least outrageous thing here lmao.

In general, I tend to like villains, and villains tend to have "stupid-as-fuck-on-a-real-person" names. They might be perfectly serviceable with titles, but the moment you take them into a more intimate setting it's just... Bro. You're getting called that, on a day-to-day basis?

God, so sorry for blanking out on the more ridiculous names, I know I have more... But I think the grandiosity of the first two should do plenty well.

#scrawny rambles #scrawny answers #writing ghirahimg ghirahim ghirahim over and over again made me a l m o s t break my no-redundant epithets rule #(which is to say if we already know a character has a trait)#(there's no need for me to point it out again as a clunky name-replacement.)#i remained strong!! but good lord #granted this might have more to do with my Autism than the names themselves #so take that as you will #(minus the kirby. hi cris! i can't believe you've gotten me invested in these goons)#i say knowing damn well the cosmic horror aspect always intrigued me #seriously though you will have some of the most hardcore shit nintendo has ever dared to publish #and it will take place in an area called. dreamland. on a planet called planet popstar that's a flat golden wait for it #that's right a star #honestly kirby is this for the entire thing but that is on me #LOOK the lore goes hard you gotta admit #i need to finish up that magolor gijinka page... 2/3 designs have their colouring finished why did i stop???#i love him alot again thank y o u CRIS! <3

you ever get stuck barely reading for months on end and think you're falling out of love with books only to pick up something good for the first time in months and realise "oh, I've just been reading crap this whole time"

#this is the fault of a doctor who book #ten little aliens #which took me 3 maybe 4 months to read like 300 pages #I consciously hated it the entire time but powered through to the one specific thing near the end I was interested in #then I read the long dark tea time of the soul by Douglas Adams in the span of about a week #which had its issues #mainly from being written in the 1980s #but you know #and now I've read almost 300 pages of the first mist of book in about 5 days #which I thought I'd regret picking up because it would take me ages to finish rereading the series #but nah its been a breeze

I have 13 pages.

#collect my pages.#12 if we're not counting the lulu snot one. but tbh i'm still counting it bc it shows my line of thinking here #even if i ended up taking a dif direction!#ALL... PART OF THE PROCESS......#ultimately it is shaping up to be exactly what i expected though! which is a grand total of. 3 pages.#all of that. for what's gonna be a 3 page comic LMFAOOOOOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭#i wonder how manga artists do it.... making whole ass series with Volumes....#i'm sure the process is different if you're starting from scratch though. but honestly that just makes me think it's be MORE involved.#like i'm cheating. i'm on baby mode. i am having a conversation w something that already exists (the canon)#AND I CAN FEEL THE DIFFERENCE ACTUALLY. between when i've done my own thing vs fan stuff #entirely og concepts/works take SO MUCH OUT OF ME...... and ultimately i have little interest in it.#like i have FUN.... i have CONCEPTS...... but i have alfonse fire emblem autism. my fatal flaw.#moe is the only og thing i have EVER. had a comparable level of autistic interest in. the only og/oc who actually IS a proxy.#alfonse sharena and moe are all proxys for me. each in their own way. that help me navigate concepts/feelings.#rambling but all this stuff i AM. EXTREMELY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT #yippee!!! yahoo!!!!! gonna lock in now.

So something I think the anime only people should know/find interesting, season 3 is only going to be covering 9 chapters (92-101) and thats the end of the series :)

#mp100 #mob psycho 100 #of course I could mention the length of those chapters #vring up how its actually fairly long #but you'll have to scroll through all these tags to find out (roughly) how long the final stretch is in the manga #its roughly because its arguably either shorter or longer if you take the gag strips that break it up as their own pages which I kinda am #im also kinda not #the source im using breaks some of them up but not the ones in the middle of the chapter #anywhoooo #873 #thats how many bages are in the last 9 chapters #the series as a whole is (roughly) 3260 pages long #that means these last 9 chapters are over a QUARTER of the entire series in length

Chapter 5 - Smashing Into Academia

#bnha #boku no hero academia #deku #izuku midoriya #my hero academia #i'm not sure if i should tag aizawa in this panel or not because he's on the entire page #which btw i really like how hori used the fact he takes up the entire page to show how he looms over everyone in his introduction.#it's a nice touch. i really like how hori does his panels. even if it's a pain to crop

group project is gonna make me scream. it's due at 4

i'm gonna go bitch in the tags because i have to vent somewhere

#none of us particularly want to take charge which is bad when some of us can't do anything without direction from others #admittedly this is me sometimes but it's just. aaahhhh.#we've been working for almost an hour and the meat of the presentation has no slides in it #another group member is just making it look pretty. it doesn't have to be pretty but it has to be done. soon!!! help the other group member #fill that section out!#hes focused on aesthetics bc he doesn't know what to do because he was late to the meeting and i told him what to do to bring him up to #speed. twice.#also spent the whole construction stage of the project on another page entirely instead of working *with* the rest of us. and he's the only #one who has a foggy clue of how figma works.#fuck figma. i'm excited to never do this again.#too much web design in my writing degree.#last week of classes and it's not over soon enough

Working on a fic still and laughing at these absolutely absurd conversations Bro and Dave have. But also lmao, Dennis from Game Bro with his broken thumb.

They're so fucking dramatic, and oh my god I just realized this probably makes zero sense at all, out of context. Idk how to convey how hilarious this moment is to me, without the miles of words written beforehand. I just need to laugh about it publically lol.

#basically theyre pretending that dave is married with kids and cheating on them with bro at this theme park #but there is no wife and kids theyre just saying that to fuck with someone next to them #bro/dennis is unrequited unfortunately #man this fic is taking forever to write #if u saw the hohohomewrecker comic panel i did on xmas this is still the same fic #wip #homestuck #stridercest #i have no idea what my wordcount is at right now and honestly im scared to find out #the page numbers are for samsung notes not actual page lengths #i wish i had the courage to start posting chapters but i keep going back to edit singular words so its not practical to post anything..#..until the entire story is complete #Cori.exe #Post.exe #suggestive #also disclaimer this is subject to change lmao i am indecisive as fuck #just wanted to laugh about dave teasing bro about having a thing for the game bro dudes #god i already see like 3 things im gonna change but i need a break lmao #also since the subject is stridercest its already written into the intro that the thing dave jerks off to in privacy is bros live action p..#..orn which bro has pointedly kept away from dave but when u live with a ninja u learn to be sneaky and dave definitely dug it up #like the smuppets were fair game but bro made an actual effort to keep the irl stuff hidden and has no idea what daves actually seen

i did like the hidden palace but (SPOILER if anyone hasn't read it?) i'm genuinely so annoyed at how Arbeely is handled like... I wish i could be sad but i'm just fucking irritated. I was overly invested in him and that's def why but i just feel like they did him dirty

#the golem and the jinni #i was scrolling goodreads and the take i kept seeing was 'oh I wish Arbeely could've had his family too bad the jinni FUCKED IT UP'#but idk that's just not how i read him. like thats not where i feel the problem is #his whole shtick is being content as the jinni's foil and like! things can change! but the way it's done leaves him totally unresolved #which in turn means the jinni's shit is also never getting resolved because there is like no way to #when Arbeely describes his future family in the first book it's all 'someday... vaguely...' and AGAIN! what you want can change!#and honestly it's really interesting and sad that he makes this sacrifice for the jinni #but it's a layer of complexity that like clashes with how little he is there for and how little the author's invested in him #and like the way the no marriage literally did not ruin his life at all... sure it sucked but the man is still like idk rich #what has continuously fucked with him throughout both books is that he wants (or at least spends half his page time thinking about)#emotional connection to the jinni in a human way #which is something the jinni cant\wont give him even though he's basically Arbeely's only close friend #(besides ig maryam who was rlly funny hinting at her dislike for the jinni like someone trying to get their friend to dump their toxic bf)#anyway the vibe in the first book is that he only thinks about wanting a wife when the jinni is being a dickhead #BECAUSE the jinni eases arbeelys loneliness by just being there because at the end of the day that's what humans need #but then it's made really weird in the second book by Arbeely getting 'trapped' by the jinni (and yet they just grow further apart)#which means that the only thing arbeely actually spent half his life discontent with and then literally died without is not a wife #it's emotional intimacy with the jinni. which is insane to me #arbeely is obviously already tragic but this seems TOO tragic entirely because the book doesn't give af about addressing it #if it was like a plot thing then all of the above would be fine and gutwrenching because it ties back into the jinnis self isolation #BUT IT'S NOT. like i get arbeely isn't that important to the plot but he was important to the jinni and the jinni was important to him #alsoo necessarily disclaimer i'm not trying to say he's in love with the jinni or anything like that #although a queer arbeely (divorced from the above idea) would also been interesting cuz I dont think the jinni has a grasp on homophobia #so idk theyd be keeping each others secrets (arbeely x the biscuit man? JOKE)#BUTTTT! I don't believe he needs romantic energy! him and the jinni having awful vibes up until arbeely's literal death is what bothers me #The jinni is a bad communicator ik but come on... not once? not even before the diagnosis? The jinni also thinks about how distant they are #could they not talk a little? for me? there are ways to do it within the bounds of their characters FOR SURE #im sure this is the point but i do dislike it either way. anyway sorry arbeely u remind me of my uncle #the hidden palace

The problem with having puppers is that you start scolding everything out of habit:

Aus post who is keeping my package in customs for 387903 million years? No :(

C-ptsd induced emotional flashbacks with the classic flinch response? No 😓

youtube who paused my song RIGHT before the best part to ask ‘time to take a break ^^?’ even though I never set such a thing and I bet it’s choosing to be annoying on purpose bc I deleted it last week to prevent distractions and it has since been reinstated: Nooo 😡

#just pav things #as always I am sillyposting to cope. 2 more days at least….#I should be less worried about my package honestly it just upsets me that there’s a discrepancy between usps and auspost #for the latter has not updated since it made it to the Chicago airport (it still thinks it’s not on a flight yet which is surely false)#As for what is on the usps page well it hasn’t updated in a while either but I’m giving benefit of the doubt bc ✨ business days ✨#I’m chalking it up to customs. It takes an hour to drive here from melbourne not entire days #I hope they’re not mad at the contents 😓#here’s hoping it arrives by Thursday or I will have to contend with there being no progress bc Easter public holidays #and they don’t want to pay double time for deliveries 😭#also I want to talk abt it when I see my wife on stream but hhhh maybe I will have to be extra patient after all :(#I am succumbing to the same kind of paranoia as my parents 😭😭 Pav doesn’t trust post offices #not since they stuffed up and lost my (fortunately later found) package for shadow 😂

2,462 words baby 👍

#personal #uniposting #after a week of intense and agonising fucking work (and an all nighter or two) we done did it #so sure. they provided with an approximation for how many words we should be writing for each section and mine are wildly disproportionate #and maaaaybe i “forgot” one section entirely for the sake of how much content i had to write about in the other sections #and maaaaaybe i bit off more than i could chew in terms of the numbers of research points i was going to address (i ended up doing 5 of 9)#but the research was researched. the citations were cited. and the references were referenced.#…i still have the fairly laborious task of formatted all my practical work into design boards for submission #(which will take some time (i have three days including today. which sucks bc i pulled an all nighter yesterday) bc i-#-lacked much showcasing of my process and development (spoilers: i Did Not Have anything. i winged (wung?) it due to deadline pressure)#AND i can’t forget to complete the last page of the job application template they wanted us to submit too. feck’s sake.#…but yeah. essay done 👍

Have officially begun the process of moving all my content onto the new blog bc my faith in support to actually fix the issue does not actually exist.

If it gets fixed I'll keep using this blog like I've been and just consider the other one a backup. Otherwise I won't be deleted this blog, but I won't be using it regularly (if I continue to), and not for posts meant to go into tags.

I'm not following people yet bc I'm still in the process of moving posts, which means mass reblogging, which means 200 posts straight per day until I'm caught up.

#DCB Comments #a couple of y'all followed me anywhere when I was doing a test run for smth tho LOL #you two are gonna get swamped until I catch up sjhkfgsj #and I mean y'all are free to follow the new blog. just. like. you're gonna get buried in the reblogs for now lol #I'll still post my DCB runs stuff for now since that was always just a personal tag #but big kid meta/discussion posts will be on the new blog bc apparently I'm also not showing up in people's notifications #when I reblog stuff/reply to it. no point in trying to have a conversation when my blog is like #80 percent shadowbanned. :') I can still send/receive messages but #that's basically the last functionality left that I seem to have for ppl who get shadowbanned #which apparently usually happens bc of logging into the blog on a VPN and it blacks you automatically for that #unfortunately my Opera browser has a built in VPN that is usually on #and while I don't usually use Opera sometimes I have to bc my comp physically cannot handle #going onto people's (user).tumblr.com versions of their blogs on Chrome #it will literally freeze the computer for at least a solid ten to twenty mins and then either the page will crash #or the entire browser will crash. started to happen kiiiind of recently? but yeah. sometimes I just #have to check actual blog pages on other browsers and I've had to use Opera for that before #so my VPN would've been on and... yeah. can p much guarantee that's what got my shadowbanned #apparently staff can take up to several weeks to even respond/resolve the issue so I ain't waiting #at least not to move my stuff bc I'd rather it just be done and over with if I end up using the blog #instead of having to do it all once I'm actually ready to use the blog #most of the stuff I'm reblogging rn is the oldest stuff from the sideblog lol #like back when I moved things from there to here. it's easier to do now since I'm just clicking my previous tags but #I'm still gonna hit a daily dead end unfortunately so may as well get started now

last cap comparison but this panel is always so good to me because a) dark's absolutely evil anime villain face b) daisuke's dialogue talking about how dark's always there for him to completely offset that and c) dark's grip
