like idk I try not to be too bothered by it but it is genuinely upsetting seeing my side of the state go up in flames every year now. maybe I was just too young to remember but I feel like it's been getting so much worse in recent years and 2020 was the first time in a long, long time there had ever ever been a fire that came even remotely close to burning our house down

#misc.txt #I mean long as in decades. as in people couldn't even remember the last time we'd had a dangerous fire here #I know that it's even worse in other places #and I'm not saying we've never had forest fires in this state bc. we have #I get that it's a natural phenomenon #but it wasn't always a 'every summer the sky changes color from the sheer amount of smoke' thing #certainly not in our area #every summer has been so much dryer #in like...2016 maybe I think? that's the first bad wildfire I can remember and it was WAY out of the ordinary that #there was so much smoke the sun was just a red dot #now it's just. every summer for the past 3 years #2020 was a fucking nightmare so at least it isn't nearly that bad but idk. it's a bit depressing to watch it gradually get worse and worse #so much forest being destroyed #not to mention homes lost

Head in haaaaaands!!!!!

#welcome home #text post #just rambling #IT FEELS LIKE ITS ABOUT CHILDHOODS LOST #WHICH STRIKES ME JUST!!!!! AUGH TOO CLOSE!!!!!#holding my chest and wincing #he sings it with such!!!! care! There's something about the way he sings it that just feels like its important to him!!!!!!!!#HEARING HIM SING IS A DELIGHT BUT THIS JUST FEELS SO!!!!! THIS IS JUST!!!!! AUFFDKJFJK ACK!!!!!!#Singing a sort of longing of a feeling. A gentle warning #but also the transcript and lyrics of the song are different I notice. It doesn't mention “grow up” or “old” like the transcript #Idk why my brain honed in sO CLOSE to this song #I know there's wilder shit happening. Every ones talking about it but I'm sitting here....staring at Wally....thinking about toyland

there's something so wrong w them tbh

#TEARS A HOLE THROUGH THE WALL WITH MY TEETH I MISS THEM SO BAD #<- the guy who makes content for them and can do so at any time #friend mentioned them one (1) time today and I lost it #also I'm so mad I didn't bring my drawing tablet home for spring break #'oh I won't have time for drawing probably' I said like a liar #pokemon #magma leader maxie #hardenshipping #aqua leader archie but like only a little bit of him #this is a crop of a larger piece but the larger piece doesn't look good so

People who think Palestinians wanting equal rights to live on their own land equates to wanting to genocide Jewish people are actually telling on themselves

#‘millions of Jewish people will be killed’ your Jewish majority state is going to have deaths if constantly engaging in warfare and genocide #if it wasn’t happening because of that then maybe it’s because your Jewish majority state professionally harasses civilians #instead of any form of oppositional military force while invading their land #the arrogance #‘millions of Jewish people would be displaced’ have you not heard of negotiating #have you not seen millions of Palestinians been displaced from their literal homes #this is not to mention the amount of refugees in the surrounding countries due to wars already #if you think a lack of Jewish supremacy in the area is tantamount to ‘killing millions of Jews’ idk what to tell you #Palestinians want to not die and Zionists are out here saying that means they want to kill everyone #and then they will accuse you of not knowing what Zionism is or what genocide is or what apartheid is or what oppression looks like #they will accuse you of not knowing what the word indigenous means #clownery #Palestine #if you pretend being in support of Palestine is about hating Jewish people instead of trying to resolve ongoing genocide by a colonial state #then you’ve lost legitimacy #there is enough antisemitism out there that you don’t have to conflate a struggle against oppression with it to prove it exists #the same way you don’t need to prove who is endorsing to commit genocide when people deny that is what’s happening #the same way you don’t need to prove which side wants peace in the region and which side continues torturing children even without a war

here’s the original post (instagram), the constant sound of shooting and bombing is awful.

#palestine #seen many videos of palestinian mothers crying over the bodies of their babies which range in age #my heart goes out to Duaa Obaid and her little girl Sama (seemed to be no older than 2) who was murdered by Israel #and the countless other mothers that have had their children beaten abused raped killed and stolen from them #and the mothers who had motherhood ripped away from them. they’ve no doubt lost fetuses from the constant terror theyre experiencing #not to mention the diseases and sicknesses that are spreading and will still affect the population years after palestine is freed #and the men and boys that are constantly stolen from their homes or whoever they had ran to after their homes were ransacked and attacked #and humiliated killed raped abused dehumanized pissed on #they are all suffering and it’s clear that it’s just plain genocide that Israel is commiting.

yes, i love mde. yes, its my favorite of the mafia trilogy. yes, i can say with 100% conviction that objectively… tommy is not an interesting character. for him to be the protagonist, he sure does have no depth to his character written in the game

#like even HE wasn’t free of mde giving everyone hints at a personality #yes he has siblings and a parents and came over from italy.. but then what? where are they? do they speak still?#if he was born in italy and stayed until he was nearly 5… how did he not retain any of it? his family would’ve HAD to have spoken italian #at home… it’s not like they would’ve KNOWN english already… and if then they then WHY?#and if they did then why?**#yes he’s caring and levelheaded and soft spoken #but why? who knows!#yes he’s friendly and naive #he trusts and he has fun and loves so so deeply… and yet ?#tommy mentions time and time again them just being unserious and messing around… why didn’t we get to see some of that?#why did we never get to see tommy on his nights out with paulie and/or sam ?#when it was SUCH a big part of tommy and paulie and sam being brothers….#it would’ve made TDOA so much more gut wrenching… it would’ve made the story SO much better…#or even like… seeing #him at home with sarah? his daughter he talked so fondly of?#I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MAKE UP THE WHOLE ENTIRE PERSONALITY OF THE GAME’S PROTAGONIST ❗️#ugh . hangar 13 when i get my hands on you (threat)#mafia definitive edition #mafia the city of lost heaven #mde #tommy angelo #post: personal

I AM NOT ALRIGHT.

Fall of Icarus. Death of Aegeus. Lost of Hylas. Katabasis of Orpheus. Everything about Oedipus, and Antigone and Ismene. Death of Patroclus. Death of Hector. Death of Ajax. Death of Antilochus. Death of Achilles. Cries of Trojan women. Nostos of Odysseus. Odysseus’s love for Penelope. Odysseus’s meeting with Anticlea. Telemachy.

I’VE BEEN SHEDDING TOO MANY TEARS FOR THIS TRAGIC MYTHOS RECENTLY.

(Oh half of my tags aren’t showing cuz I’ve run out of them.)

#greek mythology #tagamemnon #odysseus #icarus #orpheus and eurydice #oedipus #antigone #patroclus #achilles #hector #telemachus #been hyperfixated on greek mythology too much already #it just can’t go normal without tragedies eh?#the looking back of Orpheus is breaking my heart #he went all the way down to the underworld just to bring his wife home #and all hope was lost when he looked back #DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH IT HURTS ME???#And when will I ever get over the story of Achilles and Patroclus?#Patroclus why lingered in the battlefield and never returned?#the fall of troy was completely tragic #the brutality of achaeans led to their melancholy nostoi #not to mention how these brutal actions became the nightmare of all trojans #and there’s always the Ithaca royal family #and who mourns for Hector?#lemme know #wait for me #I’m coming to you #yeah and do you know how much of my thoughts have Hadestown and Epic the musical taken over?#90% if not all #sorry if I’m getting too emotional about them I just can’t help it

it's sound weird, but i have headcanon that Hunter didn't go hexside, because he too old to shool(according to my feelings, at the end of the he is 16-17 y.o (except for the post-credits scene), and at that age it is already too late to go to school):p

i mean, well- in my opinion he rather certainly did go to hexside, since one of the things he'd said during his TTT monologue was "i'd like to attend hexside like a normal student and play flyer derby with my friends" and all of his "wishes" were supposed to sort of foreshadow his goals and his future (carving palismen, studying wild magic, etc etc) so i feel like it's safe to say he succeeded in becoming a hexside student as well. we also know he attended grom with the rest of his friend group, and like- since he's 16 before the timeskip (no canon certainty whether he's recently turned 16 or is going on 17 already though, but like... around 16 canonically) that means he'd get at least 1 year of school, but most likely 2+.

my personal headcanon is that he went to hexside for around 2 years (full or not quite, depending on when the school year starts in the boiling isles and how long it lasts; possibly even 3), and during that time he picked up a mentorship/apprenticeship at del's palisman carving shop, and after he graduated from hexside he started carving palismen professionally with the clawthornes (i like to think that he also takes some courses at eda's wild magic university in his spare time, simply cuz . funny uni hexsquad shenanigans)

#like imo him being like ''i dream abt going to hexside'' and then not getting to attend hexside cuz he's ''too old to start'' or sth #would be kinda cruel since he already lost sooo much of his childhood because of belos. and he wants to be a hexside student #he deserves to have these few years of the typical teenage experience that he so desperately longs for #ofc it's not gonna make up for ALLLL the years of childhood that he'd lost. but even 2 years of the experience? would mean So much to him #not to even mention that the idea of him just... sitting at home or JUST carving palismen or doing whatever for halfa day for the 2-4 years #just cuz he's ???? ''too old'' or it's ''too late for him to start high school at his age'' or anything similar ?#while the rest of his friends get to go to school and learn and socialize and attend classes everyday without him . sounds so lonely #and he had already spent most of his life sheltered and separated from everyone so . yeah.#he'd still technically have to finish hexside like 1-2 years before the rest of hexsquad buuuuut y'know. his situation is very unique #so i could also imagine bump/eda agreeing to let him go to school a year or so longer so that he could finish it alongside his friends #but that's like mm i also can see him finishing it a year early compared to the rest of hexsquad and starting fulltime at the palisman shop #but either way; yes to at least 1-2 years at hexside in my mind #now COLLEGE? i Could see him not going to uni since he's already got the palisman business going and is doing well and wants to chill #BUT personally i still like to imagine that he attends classes there part-time #nicole answers #my toh talk #hunter toh #verocorne

Since we’re on the topicSubaru’s life is such a wild rollecoaster:

Almost died at birth due to small hole in heart

Had to stay in hospital first 3-5 years of life due to this

At constant risk of sudden death if she over-exerted herself

Eventually released from hospital

At some point got hit by a car

Back to the hospital for a few months cause of this

She has now been to the hospital so much she finds them hilarious

Went on a high school exchange program to Canada

Found out that between the time of choosing her host family and arrival in the Country, her host mother had since divorced and gotten into a new relationship

Back to Japan after high school

House burns down

Took a bunch of odd jobs to support parents cause house burnt down

Applied as a Vtuber at Hololive

Had very little qualifications for the position, or really any understanding of what it was

Got the job anyway cause they liked her spunk

Broke generally accepted conduct in your first week by collabing with a guy Vtuber from a different organization

Inadvertently convinced said Vtuber not to quit cause the collab convinced him that there was still fun to be had in Vtubing

Get bullied by a bunch of nerds for not being a nerd

Become a general fan and internal company favourite Vtuber

Absolute Duck Queen Oozora Subaru

#she also mentioned she was very depressed when her parents didn't get help from anyone when they lost their home #feeling like her optimistic view of the world was a delusion #but decided to become ''stronger'' so she could keep her positivity regardless #vtubers #oozora subaru #subaru #ask #man-demann

I assume part of 15's narrative is going to revolve around the post-identity crisis that arose within 14 around the timeless child arc, and possibly some kind of search to discover their origins... im fascinated by this coming up in 15's arc, in the sense that it makes it seem like 14 was perfectly happy to park those questions and just have a nice time doing self-care for x amount of years, so all of these feelings were lying dormant because 14 didn't feel the need to know, and then perhaps resurfacing now as 15 is (re)building a (new?) sense of self and isn't so goshdarn tired of things. is this the first time the question on doctor who has genuinely revolved around the "who" part for the doctor as well as for the characters they meet? (no shush the stupid "doctor's name" business doesn't count, that wasn't about identity, that was m*ffat's weird penchant for randomly inserted destiny that never really went anywhere)

it's a bit angsty yes, but it's also very invigorating that part of the source of travelling is this genuine mystery after a nice long rest, and not bone-weary exhaustion and regret at the past. it's inherited from previous who, but it's got a lot of potential to go anywhere

#well there's the mysterious figure when 4 regenerates and the valeyard as the shadow self (which i dont know a lot about yet)#but really as *reasons the doctor is out there travelling* i like this one a lot #there's travelling as running -- travelling as exile -- travelling as lost -- travelling as sharing -- travelling as joy --#travelling as home -- etcetc -- travelling as search of the self #doctor who #dw #rambleramble #doctor who meta #rtd inheriting a bunch of weird new lore: *cracks knuckles* im about to make things so much weirder (im sure)#i assume w 15 going to do some of this arc because they mentioned it in the christmas special

Massive fan of the idea that, after all that stuff with Phyrexia, the overarching plot of the next few sets is going to be Kellan's quest to get Oko to pay child support.

#I support his hero's journey to force Oko to finally come home from getting cigarettes #also the idea of him being the single adventure card in various non-eldraine sets is cool #Not to mention all these former/new planeswalkers meeting up with this kid going from plane to plane to find his father #a father who they probably know as “That asshole fae trickster”#magic the gathering #lost caverns of ixalan #kellan

this is... interesting. If I'm not mistaken, the list of people banned from the waning moon is supposed to be a bunch of devs, but gerringothe thorm obviously isn't one, and the "unknown elf" sounds far too much like astarion to not be him.

if you have a companion interact with the magic mirror, they have unique wishes they can share. the first wish always seems to be their deepest desire, past all the fear, pride, anger, regret, etc. that they may feel. wyll's, for example, is wishing to see his father extending his arms in forgiveness to him (wyll. pleeease pleaase pleease your dad was the one who was wrong T____T).

astarion wishes to see his home. his real home. after reading this line, I was reminded of the note in the waning moon...and well...what if astarion's real home was originally reithwin town? or somewhere nearby it? the timeline checks out, the shadowcurse has been around for about 100 years, according to halsin. astarion's been a spawn for around 200 years...

the only thing I can think of that might contradict this is something mr. stephen rooney (his writer) said in an interview, about not being sure what direction to take astarion's story in act 2. but given that this was said of the astarion made for the 3 act story we know, and that there still exist many remnants of old ideas since reworked in the live game, it's not impossible that the original story might have included something about astarion's real home being the shadowcursed lands.

sad too, because if it is true, it means that it's very likely that his family was lost to the shadowcurse. and his family wouldn't have ever known that they lost their son to the shadows long ago....

#bg3 #thoughts about media #disclaimer necessary bc this is an astarion post: if you annoy me. I will block you without a second thought.#I really wonder what the ending of the game would have been had their only ever been two acts.#I wonder if that would have resulted in more bad endings for certain companions...given what happens in act 3.#it really does show that they were only originally planning for two acts though jeez.#I did the myrkul fight on jantar's save a few nights ago and wow. myrkul's entrance really makes bhaal and bane look like losers.#anyway. whatever you choose to believe about where astarion might have come from- this is an interesting bit of dialogue!#as far as I'm aware- his desire to see his long-lost home is not ever mentioned if he's a companion.#makes me curious if it's ever mentioned anywhere again in an origin run campaign with him as the avatar.#I will admit. this DOES make a star/halsin romance a bit cuter. because halsin goes back to reithwin town to rebuild.#in the context of korydalis' story...makes their romance much sweeter too. because astarion would also regain a family with him-#-as he has adopted teens & a wife (they're friend married. not actually together romantically).

TS4 DIARY:

I tweaked the Lost Boys Challenge and made a story.

As part of a fucked up experiment, I placed 6 kids (3 girls, 3 boys) and two nameless, anonymous Observer adult sims on a large plot of land in empty Newcrest. Instead of starting from scratch, I used all the money they already had (34000 simoleons), assuming the people running this experiment were funding it, and created a campground-like living space. This space was off-the grid and they had to recycle their trash constantly. I put up tents, chairs, crafting tables and stuff for the kids, insect and bee boxes, and an iconic tree house. So I created a self-sustaining habitat.

1) I realized that child sims are actually more resourceful and smarter than adult sims

2) I didn't meddle with their values, traits and social relationships to let them to be as independent as possible from my intervention

After the kids became teenagers, the Observers committed suicide (lol) because while watching the children, they began to question their mission and became depressed (or maybe the funders took them out, who knows. shady shit). Anyways I built the teens a house (finally) with 50000 simoleons, again assuming that the people running the experiment funded it. Even though the money they earn is only enough for the day to day, they all have part time jobs, hobbies, dreams and their own personalities. And I am proud of them.

3) They also have traumas and many emotional and psychological problems that they developed autonomously (thanks to the realistic mood and mental health mods I have installed), but this was expected

#i will post their faces when i get home #my babies..............................#simsposting #lost boys challenge #suicide mention #?

I don’t think Nettles was crying over Jacaerys’ death, was his death part of the reason she cried, yes, but I think it was more about witnessing destruction of her hometown, its populace was butchered and she herself burned hundreds, if not thousands of Triarchy’s soldiers

Yeah, I’m sure she was in part crying because she saw Jace die right in front of her and I’m sure he was kind to her, and they formed a friendship of sorts, but she’d only known him for a couple of weeks. People are leaving out the fact that she just saw the only home she knew go up in flames in addition to Jace dying and she had a hand in the chaos.

Everything around her is happening in fast forward. She just claimed Sheepstealer, she's never seen battle, and now boom she’s a soldier. She’s seen death and deprivation before(she’s homeless so she’s obviously seen a thing or two), but not like this and she’s certainly never participated in the destruction.

Even if they are enemy soldiers and they mercilessly slaughtered everyone she’s ever known, they are still people who have loved ones. They may not even want to be here, some might be even younger than her, and she’s burning them alive.

She can literally hear them screaming for their mothers as they turn to ash before her. Or she sees them jump into the sea only to drown because their bodies are too weak to swim. that weighs heavy on the soul. She was literally covered with the evidence of battle(soot from the fire). Is it any wonder why she would be so distraught?

Take Jace away and you still have a young girl who has already been through so much, but now she's just witnessed and participated in something that would scar even the most battle-hardened of men.

#sick of people overemphasizing Jace #yeah he died but she literally just lost her home #and you know what she never returns back to driftmark so all she remembers of it is the chaos and destruction that fell over her home #jaces death for Nettles was one of the many tragedies that happened that day #but it wasn’t the most tragic thing #this is a tragedy for her not just because of Jace #house of the dragon #nettles #netty #hotd spoilers #it’s really funny how that relationship gets blown out of proportion but it’s crickets everytime you mention her relationship with daemon 😒#hotd #bnasks #bnask #nettles asoiaf #nettles f&b

the burnout is real lads . . . . .

#which is to say that i came home and just stared at the wall for roughly 2 hours instead of completing my documents #it was at least validating to get to talk to one of my coworkers today #and hear that they're just as burnt out as i am #and usually have to sit in the parking lot for 4 to 5 minutes before they come in because they just don't want to be here that badly #and it feels hard to admit because this is typically thought of as a passion driven profession #and it's like #neither of us have lost the passion for it???#it's not that we hate our jobs #it's just that we both feel like. we're putting in increasingly more effort week by week but we're just.#no longer getting results.#i mentioned how i feel like my faith in my ability to do this kind of work has just plummeted to zero #not at all helped by my mentor constantly pushing me to go faster and faster but then getting mad when my presentations go poorly #because i went faster or reduced the amount of material or cut the Q and A section down 10 minutes #i just feel . . . . . tired . . . . . . . . . . .#i still need to write three planning documents for tonight #one of which needs to be Really Good because my direct supervisor will be looking at it #but my god #i just want to sleep for three days straight and then stare at a wall for another three #i'm so close to the end though . . . . .#just another 15 of these documents (including the three from tonight) and that about covers my internship #of course then there's also the seminar work and the group project and all the fancy official employment documents #and. the portfolio project (a man screams in agony)#but god . . . . . . . .#so close . . . . . . . .#so close . . . . . .#once i'm free from the portfolio it's back to zola work and THEN . . . . . . . . . .#i can finally have a substantial mental health break for the first time since last may ;;; _____ ;;;
