Nothing funnier to me than a fansite that horrifically white washes pics of the guys until they genuinely look like walking corpses but then will have DO NOT EDIT in all their captions like baby.... if there's anyone here who should have the editing software taken away, it's you...
Back at it, struggling with Selfship moodboards yet again.
Instead of doing one ship board I just did three general boards, sense these three are in their baby crush will they won't they phase and not actually a couple yet.
the only thing i ever wanna write anymore is icemav just being old and married and happy in retirement (so many thousands of words just dedicated to that & i have no idea where to post it)
okay so i’ve been watching a lot of smosh content recently and i’m enjoying a lot of their stuff (it’s the starkid to smosh pipeline istg. thank you angela giarratana). and i’m hesitant to call myself a fan yet (mainly because i would love it if they stopped employing a zionist yk) but i will say. baf legacy has been consuming all of my waking thoughts ever since i watched it and i can’t hold it in any longer. i’m so obsessed. need this series pumped through my blood 24/7.
Here is a quick edit with some movies I really enjoyed this year. I watched very very few movies hence the list being so short but there's some cool ones here! Here's to hoping that 2024 is better... movie wise. Also I was going for "order of watching" when editing but that sort of fell apart towards the middle lol. Enjoy!!
List under the cut<3
In order of appearance:
Bones and all, evil dead rise, the green knight, across the spiderverse, barbie, ginger snaps, mysterious skin, saltburn, breakfast on pluto, some like it hot, the thing, saw x, dog day afternoon.
several days and 15 thousand words later, i am relieved to report that the suffocating urge to Write Something has been sated and no longer has me in a chokehold
i think the establishment of "viator" as a title/interfix/whatchamacallit (ok google says it's a kind of prepositional particle but that's long and nonspecific so i'm not gonna use it) in endwalker is really really interesting. the existence of a word that can just culturally replace a part of your name, a part that appears to bind you to family? a title that is a literal social marker of exile. to be so completely disowned by nation and homeland that even the name they call you is revoked and altered.
other interesting thing about that is that "viator" is clearly meant to be taken as derived from "violator," as in, one who has broken the law or social code to the point where they can no longer be considered a citizen (i.e. [gestures at everything zenos did]). but in latin, viator actually means traveler. which i think is so fucking interesting. you are one who left us. one who strayed from home.
OTHER interesting related thing is that cid is still apparently Cid nan Garlond, according to gaius/nero/basically every garlean who uses his old name. like, cid is kind of infamous, right? highly skilled inventor, intended inheritor of an important legacy, who, from their perspective, sold his soul and principles to the enemy, ran off over to eorzea and put garlemald's proprietary magitek to use doing whatthefuckever he wanted. so why haven't they disowned him officially yet? why isn't he Cid viator Garlond?
ok the doylist explanation could very well be "they hadn't come up with the concept of viator during 1.x / arr and it was too late to retcon by the time of endwalker" but like, in universe. ignoring that. is viator reserved for like, nobility? is it a thing that needs to be done by immediate family and after midas's death, there wasn't anybody around to declare it? but actually i think the most likely explanation is based on the fact that nero bitches about his reputation and says he's "still the young prodigy of magitek," and gaius invites him to a position working directly for him, in the praetorium. they haven't officially exiled him cause they're still lowkey hoping he'll come to his senses and come take his father's place. which is Not happening but they just wanna leave the door open, just in case.
So I have run into an issue
MothClan's save data is gone
The entire Clan disappeared
And I can't download Clangen, so I can't edit code from a new Clan to remake it
So I might have to make up the rest of the plot. I have up to Moon 26, so I have a good amount of plot, but Clangen likely won't be guiding it after that
I also am developing the cats and plot further, so things are still being set up. There will be cover-like pages for each reign of leaders too, so I need to make Cloudstar's
And I think I'm gonna have these cats live somewhere in Norway, I hope the previous pages aren't against that-
So uh. Yeah
It should be fine up until then, and since I'm still setting stuff up I can probably figure it out by the time I get there
If anyone has any advice that would be nice, but I should be fine for a good while
I will not do the exercises given to me by my physio, whether that be because I forgot or I'm having executive dysfunction, and then be like "Man why am I in so much pain?"
Dislike how explicit bls have made it so its not a bl unless two men are ripping each others clothes off and fucking on every available surface in my opinion a true bl is where the symbolism is in how they drink their wine, if they talk about the red thread of fate, if flowers fall from the sky when they meet, and in how their hands brush one (1) time in episode 26
I saw some people in the comments of Reverse's Dev Broadcast saying the new patch will be even shorter and honestly I don't have the patience to deal with this if that is the case.
I don't understand people who want shorter patches, like, recording aside, even as a chill player, how do you get everything done so soon? You play all day every day? I mean no judgement but not all of us can do that and I think it's better to cater to more people than only those who lack patience for a new patch and new characters to pull for. Also how are people getting characters this fast? Are they all paying? Cause, aside from my luck with Marcus, whom I got within 20 wishes, and a couple more examples, everyone else took me several wishes to get, which need time to collect. Also excuse me but what's the point of having event reruns if they are like 6-10 days long? I thought they were bringing them back for new players but honey, how many events can people play in less than 25 days?
I dunno. If I see stuff getting tougher, I will be recording what I can and play the rest by myself (speedrunning even, not paying attention to the story as much). I won't drown in anxiety for a game. And I also wish to have time for other games too and life, of course.
