i know im an overemotional, overreactive pathetic little wimp about my hyperfixation, and i dont even mean that derogatory, i think its both my best AND worst quality, im well aware of it, especially in moments when im already stressed i have a hard time to get my brain back into control, im so well aware of it that i HAVE been managing to learn how to deal with it actually which is why, instead of letting myself spiral any further, i went to bed to let my brain calm down

and it worked!

i still hate the live action zelda thing, i still think it WILL be bad, and it will still negatively affect how i feel about the franchise as a whole, i am not spiraling out of control about it though, which i think is a win in my book, some people hate that i say my opinion at all though, more on twitter than here so hey, im grateful to not be called pathetic to my face bc i said something someone might decry as too 'weird'

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #yes this is about the live action zelda announcement #i hate it and it will be bad and yes its threatening my love for the franchise #as i said many tiems before all my previous hyperfixations died abruptly bc it went into a direction i didnt like #which probably plays into why i react so strongly to it #i dont WANT do lose this #any bad entry in a series i love will affect how i feel about it as whole #i dont think that is a strange concept #and “simply ignore it” isnt as eeasy as it may sound bc people dont tag their shit properly #well if its so easy to ignore anythign you dont like #why are you being an ass to me bc i said soemthing you didnt like #simply ignore it #the internet loves to pretend to love weird people but when someone is actually a little weird they point their fingers and throw stones #and i dont even think im being all that weird about it #dont want to know what weirder people with big followings go through #what i deal with is absolutely miniscule compared to big creators #i also know that

Stewjon is Space Scotland: Names and Naming Conventions

For context, I designed an entire naming system for my Stewjon is Space Scotland AU. I'm still trying to work out the cultural logistics of it, but the actual practical logistics I have down.

To break everything down:

Stewjon is a clan-centric society, with clans and clan names having a hugely important role in the culture. I therefore had clan names feature in both the first and last name of Stewjonis.

-The last name (Kenobi) is the family/clan name, and is passed down the family paternally. This is both because I'm from a western culture with a paternal naming tradition, and also because I liked how his parents names sounded when the last names transferred paternally but not maternally. "Ken" would translate to "Clan" (I don't know if this is accurate to Scots English or Scots Gaelic, but I'm working from canon Star Wars names and trying to worldbuild from nothing so work with me here), and then the clan name "Obi" is attached, so "Kenobi" translates to "Clan Obi" or "of Clan Obi"

-The given name (-Wan, but we'll get to "Wan" in a second) is one to two syllables. All of these names are (according to Wikipedia) actual Scottish names, which I picked from the list mostly based on how well they'd sound next to the clan name.

-The prefix clan name (Obi-) is the interesting part. All children are given the father's clan name as both their first and last clan name. Therefore, Obi-Wan Kenobi, son of Ito-Benneit Kenobi, has "Obi" in both his first and last name. However, upon marriage, the couple swaps their prefix clan names to signify the tie between their clans. Therefore his mother Ito-Ceit Kenito and his father Obi-Benneit Kenobi became Obi-Ceit Kenito and Ito-Benneit Kenobi upon their marriage.

-Originally I was going to do something with the fact that "Obi" means belt in Japanese, such as making the clan names signify professions in the same way "Miller" or "Smith" would in English surnames, but I gave up because Japanese is so different of a language from what I understand that I would have just made myself very confused and everyone who understands Japanese language and culture very mad. So I just went with a vowel-consonant-vowel pattern for all the clan names and called it a day.

-Remember how I said we would come back to "Wan"? Obi-Wan wasn't born Obi-Wan Kenobi. He was born Obi-Owen (Owen is a whole 'nother thing and I decided to just give myself a freebie on it), and his name was anglicized (basic-icized?) upon being brought to the Jedi temple. Not on purpose, but it did happen. So technically the chart above should have him listed as Obi-Owen Kenobi, but I already took the screenshot so this is what we're working with.

-Culturally, it's respectful to refer to someone by their full name (Obi-Owen Kenobi). The full name stands until two people are fairly close to each other, platonically or romantically. The informal, friendly version would be their full first name (Obi-Owen). So you wouldn't call your new friend "Obi-Owen" until you're quite close, even if you're social equals. Technically you could refer to someone by their given name only (Owen), but it's awkward and Stewjonis don't really see a reason for it. All of this highlights the cultural emphasis placed on clans and clan ties in Stewjoni society.

The Family Tree

THE KIDS

Starting from the bottom, we have the four Kenobi siblings. Obi-Conn is the oldest, and he marries Yana-Eóin Kenyana, becoming Yana-Conn Kenobi. None of this happens in the story but I wrote it in the chart anyways. Obi-Eóin is nonbinary, which is why their square is white instead of blue or pink.

Obi-Mór and Obi-Pál are twins and approximately four years younger than Yana-Conn. Obi-Mór is ambiguously disabled (she has some form of muscular disability, but the specifics weren't relevant to the story). Obi-Pál is just some guy and I love him for that.

Obi-Owen is the baby of the family. He's twelve years younger than the twins (16 years younger than Yana-Conn) and was definitely an oopsie-baby. I don't need to say anything else because he is also one of the major characters of the Star Wars franchise. You know him.

THE PARENTS

Obi-Ceit Kenito and Ito-Benneit Kenobi are the Kenobi siblings' parents. I don't have much to say here other than that Ito-Benneit shortens his name to Ito-Ben, to avoid the repeated "eet" sound in his full first name. I'm sure that doesn't affect Obi-Owen's future nicknames in any way!

It is Ito-Benneit fault, by the way, that I made clan prefixes instead of surnames to be switched upon marriage. Culturally, it would have made more sense for the more commonly used first name to hold your birth clan and your less commonly used surname to indicate your linked-by-marriage clan, but I needed Obi-Benneit to marry into the name Ito-Benneit so that I could shorten it to Ben. Goddammit.

THE GRANDPARENTS

Ito-Ben's parents are entirely irrelevant so they don't exist. Sad!

Technically I didn't have to name Ito-Lili Kenuna, but I felt bad having her up there as an unnamed person. Una-Owen Kenito, as you may suspect, is where Obi-Wan's name comes from. I really wanted to highlight his Stewjoni heritage in this fic, so giving him family ties through his whole name was important to me. Obi-Ceit names Obi-Owen for her father because Una-Owen was a strong fighter, and she wants to pass that resilience to her son. Which, uh. Well he sure is resilient to things trying to kill him!

Feel free to come yell at me in the askbox about Stewjon's worldbuilding!

#mads posts #stewjon is space scotland AU #star wars #obi wan kenobi #obi-wan kenobi #stewjon #i have without a doubt spent more time researching for this fic than i have writing it #but honestly thats where im having the most fun #hey can you tell i took a cultural anthropology class last semester and there was a unit in family + naming conventions?#can you tell im taking a linguistics class this semester?#i dont think its obvious. it's probably really super subtle and sprinkled lightly throughout the post right #right? guys? right?#this fic started out as an excuse to write about textiles and its turned into a scots gaelic linguistic deep dive <- this user is autistic #something else about the naming system that I didnt get into the post is that it reinforces a hetero+allonormative society #because marriage is hugely important to naming practices and clan names are based on the father's clan #which presupposes there even being a father in the marriage #or even a marriage #I dont know what yana-conn and Obi-eóin will do with their kids. theyre part of the younger generation and obi-eóin is being nb is a very #strange concept for many of the older generations #given that this is star wars and xenobiology exists i dont think there would be a huge backlash #but stewjon is a human-centric society so they're not as used to non-binary *human* genders #aliens? sure. humans? uhhhh we didnt know you could do that. weird.#obi-eóin's name is never even fucking mentioned in the fic btw im just going insane over here with worldbuilding #long post

as the testament connoisseur do you have the gif where they bite off their finger

Yeah they just chomp on their finger to make their scythe in 1 of their old intro animations

#im confident the concept art says they bite it off but i dont really think they do in the final sprites. i guess they toned that down.#i mean. they DO also cut off their arms so maybe they wouldnt tone this down. but idk. it doesnt look like they bite it off…#they do though. to me.#concept art says 指を噛み切り…bite off finger. unless im going insane.#guess it could mean they just bite off some skin not the whole finger but like whatever its still insane of them #sorry you didnt ask me to behave strangely about this. that wasnt part of your request .#here i have less weird comments #1. the skull appears #2. those sprites where their arms are crossed. they arent fully shaded. they never fixed this.#3. i like the effect on their voice in original ggx :) its cute #OKAY HOPE THIS HELPED.#asks #gg

personally i like to give jake a brain ghost aranea just because i think it would be really exciting and fun. for me not for him. it would be hell for him

#barking #brain ghost dirk is one of the funniest fucked up things in homestuck ive said it before and ill say it again #naturally i want to build on the concept and explore what it means in the context of 'jake english's fucked up brain' rather than just #'jake english's fucked up relationship with dirk' yk?? like dont get me wrong thats fun but i wanna explore diff things.#i tried a few concepts before arriving at brain ghost aranea #and i think its a really good one.i think its a really good one #theres also the benefit of like #i think aranea is an interesting character in and of herself #but i also think that theres not really much more that can be done with the 'original'/'main timeline' aranea like #its already been done in the comic #you gotta start getting strange. getting alternate araneas.#i literally just wanted to present this concept n hopefully. Hopefully. get some other people going hey wait that is kind of intriguing

the irony here is that he'll be in his 70s when he gets out of prison.

#I was thinking about 'That 90s show' spinoff they did #Ive never seen it but just the concept of it is so strange to me #Like what do you base a show like that about?#pogs? power rangers? The Simpsons? Bill Clintons blow job?#idk its just surreal #anyway the PSA here is dont rape or become a scientologist

Now that I think of it, my old home gave way more depressed majima house energy than this one

I mean look at this lonely carrot I photographed inside my home and majima having a PTSD dream on the floor

#i was an anti squatter btw #like a legal squatter paying a small amount to the owner of the building so actual squatters cant come in #very strange concept i dont think other countries have?

been listening to playlists and reading blog posts of other people with different types of chronic pain disorders, and it's honestly been the most comforting and least lonely thing in my journey. it really is something where you don't truly understand the feeling unless you're unfortunate enough to experience it yourself

#ive learned that most people in day to day life dont really understand chronic pain that well #not just talking about the individual diagnoses and illnesses- just the concept of it as a whole #a person being in pain without a cure. there is no concrete end #no long term escape from it #ive found that to be the hardest thing to describe to people #they get confused- or dont seem to see where im trying to lead them in conversation #people can conceptualize short term pain or mental distress from short term pain because the duration is a huge part of the understanding #its short-term #whereas a pain you have to deal with daily at varying different values is simultaneously the hardest part about understanding and #living with it personally #because its constsntly high and low- you dont know what day youll wake up to #but i think where ive ended up after a while is that THATS the constant for me #the pain will vary in strength but it will always be there #and so my feelings about it stay ironically the same- exceptually neutral #i simultaneously wish i could live pain free- but at the end of the day recognize that i would not #appreciate my body and the world in the same way that i do now without it #its so strange #ANYWAY please excuse my essay im feeling poetic for some reason #chronic pain #ehlers danlos syndrome #westy's shit

drawing my time traveler character bc she was the only good thing to come out of my concept art/3d modeling class (i learned nothing about character design or 3d modeling and this character was the only assignment actually about character design that we did (i did my senior project on character design and learned way more about it than a whole semester long class that was supposed to teach me it))

im also going insane trying to track down the shoes i used for inspiration for hers but alas i cant find them

#my art #original character #oc #uh she still doesn't have a name but eh #also i really wish i couldve kept the original photoshop file of her but when i tried to move it into my google drive it wouldnt let me :(#mustve been something with the school network or something but still #god even though ive graduated already and dont have to deal with that class anymore i still wish i never took it #the teacher did not teach very well and that class was soul sucking to be in (it also didnt help that we had block schedule so it was a #2 hour class)#giving us old pdfs on learning maya from 2011.... making us copy some other guys drawing but not really in a way to learn from him or his #character design...#dumping her family issues on literally everyone who came into the class (i had to listen to this all the time bc i sat at the front)#i mean at least the teacher liked me i guess but that didnt help the class like. at all.#digital drawing for concept art / 3d modeling my beloathed #anyways for this assignment specifically (the time traveler)#she gave us a book to look at with. character design stuff? i think? and the page we were looking at had some time travel agent woman #concept art on it #that design was really dumb looking imo but it was also probably pretty early concept art for a game so i dont blame it much #it was some generic hot woman with long platinum blonde hair (described as strange despite it not being strange at all)#and wearing a suit that conveniently showed cleavage and had a thigh slit on her skirt #she was holding some old ass briefcase and one of those plastic umbrellas with polka dots on it (the umbrella was her time travel device or #whatever)#the teacher told us we had to make a time traveler so i set out to yassify and transify this design a bit #i think the only sort of character design tip we learned during this whole like. month we worked on this for was to make a moodboard of #our ideas #but eh i still really like the design i made and i was able to get nice and creative with ut #just wish i was able to save it on my own computer and not the school computer :(#2023

hmm

#shortext #vent #recently ive been thinking about like... idk my relationship to humans in general #like i feel so detached? disconnected and distant from people sometimes even my friends #recently a friend ive had for years just sorta. we stopped talking and after a while i decided to shoot her a message see how she was doing #she left me on read and hasnt talked to me since but like i dont feel sad... and neither do i as i drift apart from other friends #i just feel nothing and i feel like a bad person for it but. there must be a reason right? why bother them then... besides the im not #feeling anything at all on my end #its this total strangeness and otherness from a concept of humanity in general. ever since i was younger i fucking detested being a person #nowadays its easier to ignore but its always skulking in the back of my mind #and i know some of why that happens but other parts i dont.. its so strange and its even worse bc even if i could put it into words which #i barely can i sorta just get brushed off or a typical 'what the hell' and just moving on...#im sorta just writing this to get out all this since i never will be able to irl #okie now forget i sad anything ever ^-^

No cause i really cant imagine living the whole rest of your life sleeping in the same bed as someone The sleep would be so bad!!! If im goin to bed i need to be ALONE! Or else all i think about is trying not to cough or breathe too loud

#Such a strange convention to sleep in the same bed as your partner when it just causes problems #Not for everyone but like...people that do it because theyre Supposed To or if they dont it means they dont love their partner #I think maybe people would have healthier partnerships if they threw out that concept as a standard #And only do it if you actually like it lol i just think its silly how it's so expected of relationships to share a Room and a Bed like #dont you need your own space???? Dont u need privacy? Idk. I just dont get it

ok i looked at beastars and im hesitant

#personal #in relation to trigun i mean #i think its like a step up above netflix's slide show animation #but also like a cheap video game or smth #if u take screenshots it looks fine and just stylized but then seeing it move is strange #and i dont think trigun's original anime had... cowboy bebop's level of animation or anything #but that 90's style is still so good.#and then its movie felt like a washed out version #and obviously nothing is out beyond concept art (which looked nice) but im like oh lord #i am terrified of adaptations #whoever sees an original work and is like 'its great! but what if we... changed some things >:)'#anyways beastars itself is definitely some zootopia shit lol #*slideshow animation i mean like way of househusband. not all netflix animation lol
