casually explaining Sword Art Online

SAO? What was it about?

Long story short, some VR gamers dive into a new MMO day-one, right? Rookie mistake. The creator takes them hostage and forces them all to play his game to completion or be trapped forever. And anybody who's headset gets forcefully removed gets a killer shock to the brain. So no choice, right? It's game on, right? Well~ tons of mofos die tryin'a beat the game and the rest just make peace with their new lives in it. That's wholesome atleast, right? ...kinda? Whatevs. Eventually they get enough of their shit together to stand a solid chance of making it to the top of the tower or what-de-fuck-ever. Wait a sec... I'm explainin' side plots here.

Ahem... so our homebrew badass (OC, don't copy) is one of a few beta testers (and somehow the only one in sight). He's a legend. He's amazing. So capable. And so mysterious. Everyone calls him "the Black Knight" and he's so cool. Mofo 1v1's bosses from time to time like a boss. Mofo has a harem goin' on like a clueless floss. Mofo even loses his virginity in the game with his tsundere waifu. Wait, where am I going with this? He helps the plebs advance up the tower (after getting talked into joining the one guild that's making progress), makes a bunch of friends along the way, and only almost dies twice (atleast). And that's just season 1! It's the best!

pfft

In all seriousness, just watch Something Witty Entertainment‘s SAO Abridged instead. Your development will benefit greatly.

To be real, I still enjoyed dahell outta SAO. It’s a matter of accepting the bs (and junk). Like that one person who’s very flawed (and problematic), but you enjoy their company anyway because they’re [insert all the boxes that sell].

i feel like we don’t talk about this scene from the titan’s curse enough, because i think about this a lot. like… a lot. the way he was just like ‘oh i can move faster than bullets, that’s cool’, and then immediately moved on and never thought about it again?? i mean, i knew he could SWIM at mach 5, which is…. hypersonic speed, and equivalent to 3836 miles per hour. and i know all demigods are naturally a bit faster than humans. but like… he can move faster than bullets?

i guess i just wasn’t expecting perseus to go all spider-man on me, that’s all

#it’s the way it’s so casually mentioned #and never touched on again #HELLO?? #my boy said screw bullets i’m getting to annabeth #percy can move faster than fucking bullets #and can… SENSE THEM?? #rick explain #percy jackson #pjo #the titans curse #percy jackon and the olympians

i. about 2 weeks ago, i was told there's a good chance that in 5 or so years, i'll need a wheelchair.

ii. okay. i loved harry potter as a kid. i have a hypothesis about this to be honest - why people still kind of like it. it's that she got very lucky. she managed to make a cross-generational hit. it was something shared for both parents and kids. it was right at the start of a huge cultural shift from pre to post-internet. i genuinely think many people were just seeking community; not her writing. it was a nice shorthand to create connection. which is a long way of saying - she didn't build this legacy, we built it for her. she got lucky, just once. that's all.

iii. to be real with you, i still struggle with identifying as someone with a disability, which is wild, especially given the ways my life has changed. i always come up against internalized ableism and shame - convinced even right now that i'm faking it for attention. i passed out in a grocery store recently. i hit my head on the shelves while i went down.

iv. he raises his eyebrows while he sends me a look. her most recent new book has POTS featured in it. okay, i say. i already don't like where this is going. we both take another bite of ramen. it is a trait of the villain, he says. we both roll our eyes about it.

v. so one of the things about being nonbinary but previously super into harry potter is that i super hate jk rowling. but it is also not good for my mental health to regret any form of joy i engaged with as a kid. i can't punish my young self for being so into the books - it was a passion, and it was how i made most of my friends. everyone knew about it. i felt like everyone had my same joy, my same fixation. as a "weird kid", this sense of belonging resonated with me so loudly that i would have done anything to protect it.

vi. as a present, my parents once took me out of school to go see the second movie. it is an incredibly precious memory: my mom straight-up lying about a dentist appointment. us snickering and sneaking into the weekday matinee. within seven years of this experience, the internet would be a necessity to get my homework finished. the world had permanently changed. harry potter was a relic, a way any of us could hold onto something of the analog.

vii. by sheer luck, the year that i started figuring out the whole gender fluid thing was also the first year people started to point out that she might have some internalized biases. i remember tumblr before that; how often her name was treated as godhood. how harry potter was kind of a word synonymous for "nerdy but cool." i would walk out of that year tasting he/him and they/them; she would walk out snarling and snapping about it.

viii. when i teach older kids creative writing, i usually tell them - so, she did change the face of young adult fiction, there's no denying that. she had a lot more opportunities than many of us will - there were more publishing houses, less push for "virally" popular content creators. but beyond reading another book, we need to write more books. we need to uplift the voices of those who remain unrepresented. we need to push for an exposure to the bigotry baked into the publishing system. and i promise you: you can write better than she ever did. nothing she did was what was magical - it was the way that the community responded to it.

ix. i get home from ramen. three other people have screenshotted the POTS thing and sent it to me. can you fucking believe we're still hearing this shit from her when it's almost twenty-fucking-twenty-three. the villain is notably also popular on tumblr. i just think that's funny. this woman is a billionaire and she's mad that she can't control the opinions of some people on a dying blue site that makes no money. lady, and i mean this - get a fucking life.

x. i am sorry to the kid i was. maybe the kid you were too. none of us deserved to see something like this ruined. that thing used to be precious to me. and now - all those good times; measured into dust.

#witches and wizards #kids need to be able to play games without knowing the extended universe #playing was easy #i knew i wasn't gonna be able to explain chronicles of christomancy #but we could pick up a stick and run around #nd say we were magic that would be enough backstory #and i think the last time i felt that sense of community #was the summer of pokemon go #it's about cross-generational connectivity bro #yes there are insular communtities but EVERYONE had fucking read harry potter #which is me saying - i think maybe people don't miss HER or the ACTUAL BOOK tbh #they miss... feeling connected #think about how so many people felt so weirdly ashamed and lost after Game of Thrones ended - #they did SUCH a bad job that the entire community just... vanished. #where beforehand people would have GoT weddings #we are just animals who love stories and love feeling like we speak the same language #btw i am not on twitter so i hadn't seen some of the shit she was doing #and then when i was 19 she published the ''american school'' hogwarts stuff #and was reading it casually bc again a huge nerd #and in it shes like ''the british taught the natives their more civilized magics'' #and that was like..................... oh okay. okay. so.....

I am a “Meg and Apollo’s master/servant bond evolved into something a lot like an empathy link post their dip into Chaos in TDP” truther and I will be till the day I die.

#trials of apollo #toa apollo #lester papadopoulos #meg mccaffrey #sunny speaks #and I think that neither of them realized for a long time #bc Meg realized she was feeling some of Apollo’s emotions but she just thought that’s how master servant bonds work #and Apollo knows that’s not how the bond they have works but he’s already so hyper-empathetic towards Meg that he barely noticed the change #it’s only the people around them that really notice the way their emotions affect each other #also I deadass think that by TTT if Meg and Apollo discovered that they could communicate with each other in their dreams #they would just go with it #also like canonically that does happen #like Meg just casually pulls Apollo into her past and it’s never explained in TBM #(I know Hazel and Leo do that two but for Hazel it was an established thing) #anyways empathy link sunflower sibs for the win <3

Dress Codes Explained

I feel like I’ve created enough templates for your mind development, routines, habits, etc. I’m getting bored with putting out the same content in a different manner so now I’m going to start switching up my content. I’m going to focus more on how one can carry themselves, socialise, etc etc.

My first article under this segment “Cultural Education” here will be about dress codes. You will find this segment on my pinned post.

Culturally, dress codes differ from one another. The western world is generally more tolerant towards showing of skin, for instance; but if you were to attend formal events in Asia and the Middle East, I’d highly, highly recommend you opt for a more modest look.

This is a very brief breakdown on what a woman can wear and when.

Images are for examples only.

1. Casual

Meaning: low-key, but not like you just woke up.

* Sundress

* Long/ midi skirt

* Tailored pants or nice jeans (not ripped, distressed, acid wash- plain and simple)

* Tailored shorts

* Plain T-shirt (no graphics), polo t-shirt, turtleneck

* Button-down shirt

2. Dressy

Meaning: no jeans, generally use of lighter colours

* Skirt (not bum short)

* Tailored trousers

* Dress

* Co ord sets

* Jumpsuits

* Sundresses

3. Semi formal

Meaning: dressier than your corporate office job, but more casual than a formal gown.

* LBD (but not too little)

* Maxi skirt

* Cocktail dress

4. Business

Meaning: what a typical office senior person would wear.

* Suit

* Dress (modest; at least knee length; not too short)

* Dress with a jacket

* Blazer and a skirt

* Stockings (optional in summer)

* 3-4 inch heels / loafers / flats

5. Business casual

Meaning: what one would typically wear everyday to a corporate job that does NOT abide by Gen Z clothing (meaning slightly more conservative)

* Skirt, khakis, or pants

* Open-collar shirt, knit shirt or sweater (no spaghetti straps or décolleté)

* Dress (again, modest)

6. Black tie

Meaning: formal evening events, generally after 6 pm.

* Formal (floor length) evening gown (avoid slits, too tight dresses)

* Dressy cocktail dress

OH MY GOD. I went absolutely hysterical when I was watching Hazbin Hotel and found out that JEREMY JORDAN was playing Lucifer Morningstar! Death Note Musical-nerded all over the place. If my roommate wasn’t also present, I would’ve gotten up and paced the room raving in overjoyed disbelief. I mean… HOLY HELL.

#hazbin hotel #lucifer morningstar #jeremy jordan #death note musical #I STILL can’t believe it! #we were both marveling at Lucifer’s singing during his and Charlie’s ballad #so I just casually press ⬆️ on my remote to check the cast and DOUBLED OVER IN SHOCK WHEN I SAW HIS NAME #and yelled ‘WELL THAT FUCKING EXPLAINS IT~!!! WHAT??? 🤩 #how is this cast so damned stacked?!

i think it would be very silly, a little hee hee funny, if shane ended up put in an older sibling role (without trying) to the younger bachelors/bachelorettes

#it starts with sam @ joja #asking for advice esp while kent is gone & shane is like 🤨 ay yo idc #but eventually shane will just. casually answer sam's questions. maybe he likes him. no. it's bc answering will get sam to shut up #shut up #& then one day he's passing by alex who's trying to perfect the way he throws his gridball #cue former griball player shane: ur form sucks #alex gets mad & asks shane to do it better then #shane does it perfectly & alex suddenly asks if shane can show him #shane is confused but goes step by step #& then alex just starts asking more questions later & shane is like ????? ok????? #& then one day while it's raining sebastian stops shane & asks him if therapy rlly does help #& shane is like dude idk if i can rlly talk to u abt this go 2 ur mom #sebastian looks so sad tho #so shane does explain it & the process #seb continues going to shane with questions #this cycle continues with the other younger bachelors/bachelorettes #until shane has this gaggle that follows him & he's so confused as to why this is happening #emily thinks it's rlly funny #shane is groaning & slamming his head on the table the entire time #ramblings #my headcanons

Okay but I really need to see more medieval fantasy sapphics dancing together. Seeing Kit and Jade dancing together and looking at each other like they do awakened something in me

#willow 2022 #kit tanthalos #jade claymore #tanthamore #the way it’s so casual and comfortable representation I can’t even begin to explain how it made my soul feel
