keep forgetting my experiences aren’t universal… at my core i am just a grimy zoomer who spent college in essentially a co-ed frat. and that is Not the norm 😔

#discovering that other people’s standards for jokes n behavior are . way different than mine #this is abt twitter not anybody here lol #i’ve said some RANCID things loud as hell in dining halls #and i don’t mean like. offensive. i mean like #just really really nasty jokes abt come 😭 #you haven’t lived until you’ve made like five 20 year old guys go ‘oh BRUH’ and gag in unison #ANYWAYS. do u ever think abt public opinions if u were famous . #i would get canceled for a truly horrific that’s what she said joke i’m afraid. #i have no class is what i’m saying i think.

The reason I don’t make a lot of very insightful posts about studying characters and the world they’re in is because I don’t know enough about jean everything I have to say about Harry and Kim has already been said I feel like I don’t have as much to say about the student communists because I am a bad communist who hasn’t done any of the required reading (lmao) my only thoughts on the RCM as an institution arent very well-developed (and also are through an American bias of what police are like rather than how they exist in Elysium) and I don’t know fucking. ANYTHING about the innocentic system.

But I sure can tell you a lot about the skills and piss/fuck. Which isn’t actually a lot but boy I can tell you

#also I am afraid of. expressing opinions sometimes lmao…… #tbh I don’t think I’m smart enough to do deep character dives into their pasts and motivations and whatnot #i feel like my own biases cloud who the haracters actually are too much #i have to learn how to not let me headcanons influence who these guys actually are #because I’m really bad about that lol #i also just feel like I don’t know enough and everyone else knows a lot more than I do!! #like people are saying shit that happened in the game and I’m like. what I never saw that #symptom of being a fan of suuuuuuch a massive game #anyway this isn’t about me talking down on myself or anything #just like. an explanation as to why I don’t get way deep into lord stuff #i find it very interesting and love reading other peoples posts #but I don’t think I should make big grand sweeping statements about things I feel like I’m just pulling out of my ass. yanno #in case you were ever curious about why I never make those kinds of posts #you probably weren’t. but #lol

Hey! I saw your response to another ask regarding Les Mis adaptations, and I wanted to ask what is/are YOUR favorite adaptation/s and why?

Oooh, thank you for such an interesting ask!!

There’s still plenty of adaptations I need to watch, but my two favourites (I can’t pick just one!) out of the ones I’ve seen are definitely LM 1972 and 1925!

I won’t go into detail about why LM 1972 is such a great adaptation, since it’s already such a popular one for fans (I will say that I ADORE how Éponine is portrayed, and the rue Plumet scene is an absolute standout!)… but I think LM 1925 is an underrated hidden gem of an adaptation!

The whole thing is fairly long and it’s a silent picture, but don’t let that put you off, there’s so much that the film is able to explore thanks to its length! This adaptation even includes “Le Cabuc” (aka Claquesous) being executed by Enjolras at the barricades like we see in the novel, and while we don’t get Montparnasse and Éponine sneaking off “être Némorin”… we do get to see them going off to an inn together (Azelma even comes too!) while the rest of the Patron-Minette are imprisoned… and we get this hilarious little cheek kiss between them (after Montparnasse asks Éponine to scout out rue Plumet and she agrees begrudgingly, which is why he kisses her)

I also like LM 1925 because it includes so many unnamed rogues who seem to be associated with Patron-Minette! Even if we don’t get their names and they mostly just stand about in the background, I always appreciate adaptations of LM that show the Patron-Minette consisted of more individuals than just Gueulemer, Babet, Claquesous and Montparnasse (in the majority of adaptations it’s a miracle if you even get all four of the Patron-Minette leaders on screen!). The Gorbeau ambush scene is absolutely GOLD in this adaptation, because there’s no dialogue in the film (dialogue cards appear but are limited in their appearances) there’s so much more room to simply absorb the spectacle of the scene, and there’s these wonderful haunting shadows dancing on the walls— I’ve recently posted a clip on my blog if you’re interested!

Aside from the specific Patron-Minette appearances that I’ve rambled on about, LM 1925 is just great in general! I really can’t recommend it enough!

#THANK YOU FOR THE ASK FRIEND! #if you’re curious to know my least favourite adaptation— its LM 1935 #I do have some slightly unpopular opinions on some other adaptations though… #namely… I don’t think that the 2018/2019 BBC miniseries is always as bad as people make it out to be #let me clarify— I’m not saying the adaptation is good. I’m just not saying it’s always completely terrible #but I shall hide that opinion in the tags because I am afraid #ask response #adaptations

Why am I making the same mistakes over and over again???

#once again I got too attached to people and either being ignored or whatever again and I’m miserable #overthinking and reading through messages of what have I don’t to be kicked to the curb 🙃 #I really should change my approach but I can’t help it #I’ve been ignored and came second every damn time in my life and whenever someone shows a little affection I feel loved and jump straight in #and burning myself after #I try to give them space because I can be too much #can be too harsh on some things and stubborn with my opinion #I promised myself that I won’t be the one who reaches out again #but I always miss talking with them and I’m afraid we’ll never talk if I leave it to them… #I dunno I’m just afraid to lose more people that is important and dear to me #and I don’t understand the reasons behind #we don’t agree on some things that’s alright but still I don’t think I’ve been unfair on any way #okay whatever rant is over #it’s 3am and I’m thinking about this since Saturday evening…. #just needed to let it out #getting a little sleep not even an hour and leave for work #feeling miserable when I should be happy of how todays race turned out #yeah… #Lola’s ramblings #oh and the worst part… I see them on dash conversing and having fun #and I’m here like okay what have I done?? talk to me….. #😐😐😐 #really my mental health is awful lately fucking hell

btw i was Really Smart in communications today :]

#marzi speaks #i asked a question that stumped our professor and answered his questions well #i didn’t take a spotlight tho. i waited a fair bit or to be called on before answering #it’s weird for me #now that i’m in college i’m realizing just how crazy competitive my high school was #and like. i /knew/ it was competitive. but it was competitive in ways i didn’t even realize #like things were presented to me in a way where if i didn’t know everything i was doomed to fail from the start. i was fucked #i mean hell i wasn’t even top third of my class. 200 something in a class of 600 something people #but now i’m in college and i’m with my peers and i’m realizing like. actually i am pretty damn smart #i never thought i was /dumb./ i just never thought of myself as exceptional either #and i definitely have my struggles. my poly sci class is so fucking boring i Do Not Like It #but i’m realizing now that i’m a lot smarter than i’ve thought i was for the past… what six years? seven? ten? #a long time. essentially #and it feels WEIRD!! god it feels weird #i’m kind of afraid to be percieved as smart?? #i think it’s tied to internalized misogyny. bc when i inspect that fear #i realize i don’t want to be reduced to a (sorry for hp reference) hermoine granger type of misogynistic caricature #it’s probably tied to how my mother (very smart) was regularly dismissed or even laughed at for her smarts #idk. when a guy is smart then it’s just cool. #when a girl (or girl-adjacent thing like myself) is smart then oh it’s levioSA not levioSARRRR sorry brainiac oh the WOMAN has an OPINION #stupid WOMEN and their stupid THOUGHTS. who let them think. etc etc #so idk. i’m worried that if i let myself recognize that i’m smart #instead of letting other people make the observation for me #that i’ll be seen as stuck-up. bossy. etc. #but if i don’t acknowledge that i’m smart who the hell will? #i think that a lesson my mother has been teaching me for my whole life is starting to be fully understood in my head #i should call her and talk about it. kinda wanna just talk to my mom in general #ANYWAYS. trying to let myself be proud of my smarts again. in a healthy way this time #without worrying about failure or impressions. because i am smart. i have a lot of ideas and i ask a lot of questions #i don’t need to explain my smartness to anyone. i can just be smart in this way. maybe that’ll get easier as i practice it

[gregmarriage]

on a tomgreg betrayal, i honestly don’t think it will actually happen. the chances of it genuinely happening seem very slim. i think there’s probably gonna be the possibility offered to one or both of them, one or both of them will get scared the other will actually go through with it (most likely, tom will be worried that greg will turn against him somehow) honestly? i just imagine a boar on the floor style situation where it’s tense and there’s a moment where you think one of them will betray the other, but they don’t. this later solidifies their relationship and could perhaps lead into the meaty stuff, i.e, the romantic side of things.

#if we get a parallel to boar on the floor but it’s greg not betraying tom? #i think i’d combust on the spot #ppl who actually think greg is gonna betray tom are very strange individuals #like people literally think greg is just using him and tom’s love is unrequited #are we even watching the same show???? #if greg doesn’t love tom back then i’m a straight woman (impossibility) #how can you honestly believe that? #have you seen the way greg looks at him? #just because he’s not aware of it yet doesn’t mean he isn’t #idk ppl who genuinely think it’s unrequited are weird #tom would probably think it’s unrequited if he was aware (which im not sure if he is yet) #or he’d be afraid to do anything even if he doesn’t think it’s unrequited #but like in general it’s obvious tom is in love with greg and it’s semi hard to tell about greg #but literally don’t just take things at face value? there are so many signs it’s requited like??? #y’all confuse the hell out of me #the love being requited makes the most sense #but that’s my opinion sure disagree with me if you wanna #i just don’t see a world where greg doesn’t return tom’s feelings that’s all #okay ramble over lol

#trying my hardest to let my gender be fluid without being harsh on it #I’ve been finding myself cozy using woman-y words for myself lately and it #makes me feel very tense since I’m afab #I am trans and I’m genderfluid and I’ve spent years with my gender wandering around between many many many genders #agender and trans man and nonbinary and bigender and Demi gender and #it always makes me nervous when it swings towards woman because it feels like #oh now I’m cis okay #and it makes me very afraid that I should be isolating myself from the trans community during that time #like quarantining myself because my gender isn’t trans enough right now #and it feels very weird to be Butch and be androgynous and be seen as a man and a woman by strangers #and to be afab and feel something similar to dysphoria when I’m mistaken for a boy #it feels like I’m larping as a trans woman or fetishizing the experience or trying to claim it as my own when I have no right #the shared experiences of trans women and butches is a long history but I still feel guilty about feeling like I’m trans and like I’m #closer to being a woman than normal #It makes it hard to experience my gender without guilt which is weird #but there’s a ton of fun stuff about it too like being able to call myself a lesbian #or experience happy gender feelings when my wife calls me feminine terms #if I just refuse to worry over other peoples opinions then everything is fine #but I do worry and I am concerned with the opinions of my community and I am afraid I’m doing queerness in an unacceptable way #3: sorenhoots #sorenhoots #soren stresses 3:

You know, I always feel limited in what I can say about Cookie Run, mostly just because I never feel like I know enough about the world and characters

Like, I’ve been in this fandom for about 7 months, now beating out the Layton fandom in how long I’ve been here, but even now I still feel like a beginner in what I know. And even if I think I know a character or bit of the world, enough to make some sort of post, I feel like there will be someone telling me that I’m wrong in interpreting the character. I don’t recall if that’s actually happened to me in recent time (other than the Golden Cheese Kingdom confusion I had), but I always feel like that will happen

I mean granted, I think part of it is that I just really don’t know. I’m fully aware that there are story cutscenes for both Ovenbreak and Kingdom that explain the lore of characters, and that I can just watch them in YouTube (or in Kingdom’s case, on the game itself), but for some reason, I just choose not to. Granted, I think part of it has to do with the way I usually consume stuff about things I play

Generally, if it’s something I don’t think I will ever play, I’ll just watch people talk about it or watch them play it so I can experience it to some degree. However if I do end up getting the game, I tend to stay away from things discussing it because I don’t want my experience to be ruined or something, despite me usually already knowing things about it. And still wanting to consume fan content about it on here. I’m not really sure how my flawed internal logic works

Anyways, I think in this instance, it might be a case of my brain wanting to experience things for itself, but we’ve gotten to the point where I’ve experienced almost all content that is currently available for me to experience, so that point should be moot, but my brain’s still operating on that “don’t spoil things” mentality, so I just won’t do it. This is kind of my first experience with a game with an ongoing story, as I usually play console games that already have a complete story once I get it, so I think that might be part of the reason wires aren’t connecting like they should

Though to be honest, that’s probably only half of it. The other half is that I just can’t be bothered to, despite me knowing it won’t take much effort. But that’s been a problem that’s been going on and increasing throughout this amount of time, unrelated to Cookie Run, so that’s a topic for another day

Though if I can give some sort of defense, there’s 200+ characters in these games. I can’t be expected to know everything. Even if I usually only talk about a handful, meaning this point is probably not as relevant as I think

But also probably a part of why I’m hesitant is that I see people talking about how other people just have bad takes on characters, and I’m afraid I’ll end up in that category. I can fully admit, I’m not very good at understanding nuance, I kind of just take things at face value, only rarely seeing deeper meaning and needing others to explain it to me, and I feel like an understanding of nuance is needed to understand some of these characters, which is something I lack

Also I have a problem of being a bit too sensitive and not wanting people to dislike me. And the fact I’m very indecisive and will change my opinions, usually if someone gives a different take that makes more sense to me. That’s usually why in my posts I put a lot of “probablies” and “I thinks” and “I dunno”, since I never want to be too confident in my ground. But again, personal issues

But yeah, I feel like in general, I’m never confident in posting concrete opinions on characters or some sort of take on a character in this franchise. And I mostly bring this up because I remember that I had some level of confidence in talking about the Layton games. But also there, I feel like the characters, story and world were much easier to get a grasp on, you just need to watch the cutscenes for the games and probably the movie. And the anime if you want to, but that’s at the current end of the timeline, way after the mainline games, so you don’t have to. Also, not nearly as many characters. All around it’s just easier to understand. Also frankly, the fandom was smaller and felt just generally more relaxed

#I don’t know I was just talking about this out loud and thought I should post #it relates to my last post about the SJS and me feeling hesitant talking about the subject #though I’m not sure I really touched upon why I feel so hesitant about it in the way I meant to #but whatever. I mean I did still mention it #just probably not with as much emphasis as I meant to #also I don’t mean anything against the people who make posts saying the fandom can often misinterpret characters #I like reading those posts and seeing other’s opinions #it’s just that it also makes me afraid to post my own thoughts because they feel incorrect #anyways #cookie run #real life stuff #account stuff #ramblings

gonna vent about twitter fandom stuff and leaks for a minute, don’t mind me

#ok so basically i am not that involved in ml twitter however i do follow a few ml-related accounts and see tweets about it on my timeline #and i’ve seen a few people vaguetweeting about the season 5 leaks #and some of what they say…isn’t positive #i’m trying not to think about it too much because obviously everyone has different opinions #so the things these people on twitter are saying could be subjective #but idk. i think i’m mostly afraid of people not liking whatever might happen in the new episodes #so then i catastrophize and wonder if the fandom’s going to undergo a big change or something #to be clear i’m not saying this to try and make anyone else panic i just need to clear my head #pfb talks

how do i figure out if i’m neuroatypical without feeling like a horrible horrible person? genuine question

#last year i thought i might have adhd and after looking into it more i concluded that it likely wasn’t applicable to me #but now i think i might have autism and i’m struggling with the fear of #coming off like i’m one of those terrible tiktokers who turn mental illness and neurodivergency into a set of cute little quirks that #practically everyone has. #i think this is partly due to my experience with adhd last year but also partly because i’m a pretty naturally paranoid person! and really #afraid of being seen as a terrible or unkind person. #the research on female autism is consistent with my behavior/thought process but i can’t shake this nagging feeling that like. #i’m harming real autistic people or being melodramatic by considering/researching the possibility let alone actually thinking i might have #autism or seeking some sort of professional opinion. #especially since i HAVE struggled but i’ve never been like. viciously bullied or abused or anything of that severity. #and i have friends and family who are (on average) pretty loving and supportive #so in conclusion: i’m upset and there’s something wrong with me. but there’s also something wrong with me for #thinking there’s something wrong with me.

Blessing and a curse I was on vacation Oscar weekend- like glad to be free of the burden but also my career as a film graduate depends on my having an opinion on every category

#still haven’t looked up who won and now I’m afraid #but when that plane lands and people in the real world ask me my opinion I better fucking have one #my credentials are at stake
