The fact that a huge amount of information on platforms like tumblr, instagram, and apparently also tik tok is now shared as screenshots of text instead of—you know—the text itself, which is easier to read and can also be scanned by screen readers, makes me want to burn down the internet.

Tumblr is a platform where you can actually make text posts! There's no character limit! Just. Put. The text. There!

Instagram is for photos, not fucking essays!

Tik tok is a video platform, so why the fuck are people sharing screenshots of Tumblr posts (without even linking to he original post, naturally) set to music and calling those videos?

I don't understand why so many people look at extremely limited (as in they have a very specific function and are not intended to be used in any other way) apps like instagram and tik tok, and go "Ah, I will now use this platform to convey information in the most convoluted, least accessible way possible."

Just?? Use a platform that's actually friendly to whatever kind of info you're trying to convey???

I'm sure there are all kinds of factors involved, especially when people are so driven by views/likes/whatever on one platform, but this trend has made the internet so much less user-friendly and accessible. It's like trying to eat soup with a butterknife, while also taking away other people's spoons and making them use butterknives as well.

#the screenshot plague #*old man yells at cloud* #seriously though #a friend sent me a poem on instagram recently that was just. like 9 screenshots. of the typed poem #FFS #i really liked it and wanted to save it for potential title ideas but i couldn't even find the poem on the person's website or other soc me #it only existed as screenshots so i couldn't copy/paste any of it #i typed out the parts i liked and saved a link to the instagram post in case i ever use the lines but jfc #the stupidest way to share text #accessibility #screenshots #the internet #tumblr #instagram #tik tok #screen readers

ROTTMNT Theory: Leonardo's Face

(I know this topic had been talked about in other posts before. I had a mighty need to add my 2 cents, along with some pictures.)

We know Leo's gonna grow to be an amazing leader. He's already learning how to work in groups and communicate with his team, and he's even beginning to reel back his prideful behavior.

However, to live by the important life lesson of "we do we", I get the feeling he's not gonna do it the same way as past TMNT iterations. Future Leo in the ROTTMNT movie is proof enough that his humorous quips are here to stay, even after decades of apocalyptic horrors.

Because Leo's right, he IS the face man. He just hasn't realized yet how crucial the face of a team is, or how great of a weapon it can be.

(Show and movie spoilers under the cut.)

Firstly, the face is an important tool for navigating the world around you. It's where three (four counting the ears) of the body's senses are placed. Sure, you can technically live and roam through touch alone, but then you risk missing a lot of information about your surroundings that could impact your life.

Metaphorically speaking, Leo provides this for his team the most often. He uses his highly attuned senses to scan their environment for immediate details. This allows him to adjust their plans to even the slightest changes, or to make quicker deductions based on whatever clues he finds.

Another thing about faces is how prominently they're used for communication. They are one of the most critical tools for social interactions of all kinds, including deception. Mastery of facial gestures is what lets so many actors/actresses thrive when putting on believable performances.

Continuing the metaphor, Leo has proven himself to be a master of persuasion so many times throughout the Rise series. His easygoing charm can make him both motivating for loved ones and easy to underestimate for opponents.

Once Leo's self confidence improves some more, his social intelligence gives him the potential to become terrifyingly powerful. The ability to outwit geniuses by thinking outside the box. Negotiation skills that could put the average politician to shame. Eyes as sharp as his katanas, ones that could read people like comic books. An equally sharp tongue able to flip entire situations in his team's favor through words alone.

Next to hope, Leo's face truly is his most dangerous weapon. He just needs to learn how to not let it control him. I'd love to see Leo further develop this more charismatic style of leadership that tends to set him apart from his past series' counterparts.

#Leonardo #rottmnt #rottmnt movie spoilers #rise leo #analysis #You could also say Leo is both the face AND the voice of his team #I feel like Leo being a phenomenal actor is a key reason why Splinter chose him to be the new leader #Being a former actor himself #Splinter knows how powerful words and appearances can be in leading (or misleading) others #Splinter finally saw part of himself in Leo and decided that kind of potential shouldn't go neglected again #Leo asked why nobody had any faith in him #so Splinter took a chance to put some faith in him #I ended up titling this one a 'theory' too because it felt weird to have it labeled differently from my last rottmnt post #Sorry for the small text in some pics. I wanted to cram as many screenshots as I could since I'm a sucker for photographic evidence.

I just finished reading Fourth Wing after picking it up because of all the hype, and because I love dragons, and... I have to say it's the worst book I've read in quite a while lmao. the dragons were its only redeeming quality

#seriously not worth it y'all sorry #not tagging the title bc i don't want to rain on other peoples' parade #it just was notttt my cup of tea at all #if you like a court of thorns and roses you might like fourth wing. personally I hated ACOTAR for a lot of the same reasons #mainly: language and writing style that clashed painfully with the supposed genre #(fantasy characters saying shit like 'Holy. Fucking. Hot' and 'looking respectfully' and 'vibes' is just NOT believable lmao) #plus the characters and plot were very shallow! nothing was fleshed out! nothing made me *care* abt the characters! #the worldbuilding had sooo much potential but nothing was really explored and it felt so slapdash! #idk it just felt like a YA smut/romance remix of ACOTAR/Shadow & Bone/Divergent wearing a fantasy trenchcoat #it did have a lot of potential but i'm sorry to say the author did not manage to pull it off. :/ #oh well. at least the dragons were cool as hell #books #anti fourth wing #if you want to read my more coherent review just message me and i'll give you my goodreads info

When you feel weird saying your favorite actors name out loud when talking to your parents or friends because it feels like it's going to reveal how deeply obsessed you actually are

#oh how often i have said to my parents #'it's a movie with that actor i like' #because i am afraid if i say 'david tennant' i will also add 'the prettiest most gorgeous funniest guy who is so lovely and if i met him i #would probably hyperventilate and i think about him probably too much because he's just an actor but also Look At Him!!' #you know #normal fangirl stuff #i have a theory that this is either some sort of weird ocd thing deep inside of me like how for a few months i was very afraid that people #could hear my thoughts and so i never allowed myself to think strange or very personal things with many people around #or this is because other people have made me feel like i can't talk about my interests because they're so intense that they find them #annoying #or it's because i don't want my parents to think i have a crush on him because i don't and also i'm gay so like no crush potential this is #completely different emotion which i can't explain especially not my parents so i'd rather they not find out how cool i think he is #but also they probaly know because they got me 10th doctor merch for christmas without me even asking for it and my mom also said that #she noticed that he's my favorite actor which is fine it's toatally fine i'm so cool about this #any so yeah anyways #didn't think i'd analize myself that much tonight but here we are #david tennant you have to honor of recieving the title of 'that one actor i like' which is much more important than it might sound #good night #lea's random thoughts

How Do I Love Thee?

-Wilfred Owen (1893-1918)

I cannot woo thee as the lion his mate,

With proud parade and fierce prestige of presence;

Nor thy fleet fancy may I captivate

With pastoral attitudes in flowery pleasance;

Nor will I kneeling court thee with sedate

And comfortable plans of husbandhood;

Nor file before thee as a candidate….

I cannot woo thee as a lover would.

~

To wrest thy hand from rivals, iron-gloved,

Or cheat them by a craft, I am not clever.

But I do love thee even as Shakespeare loved,

Most gently wild, and desperately for ever,

Full-hearted, grave, and manfully in vain,

With thought, high pain, and ever vaster pain.

#naturally the title is derived of Elizabeth Browning’s ‘how do I love thee? let me count the ways’ #the info that the first few pages of this were missing - potentially a result of censorship by Wilfred’s brother Harold #leads many people to interpret this as one of Owens more explicitly gay poems #many editors reference this poem as one of Owens earlier works from around 1914 HOWEVER #others such as Jon Stallworthy believe at least the final draft of this poem to be dated closer to 1917 #which honestly makes sense to me as it doesn’t really come across like too much of his later or much earlier works so middle ground #feels right to me. but hey I’m not a historian #anyways I hope you enjoyed #it’s a very typical/traditional sonnet which honestly contributed so much to my personal interpretation of this as a queer poem #like come on #it’s right there! (imo) #poetry #ww1 #war poetry #wilfred owen #love poem #remembrance #grief

got into two very good schools on opposite sides of the country BUT now I have to chose between them and I only have 20 days to decide????????

#literally don't know what to do #one school is like maybe not my favorite research topic but i love my potential advisor and stuff everyone is sooo nice #and the other school is back to my undergrad alma mater but its like the most prestigious BUT a buncha grad students drop out or hated it #so its like. fun times somewhere i wanna live a lil less (far from family etc) doing work i wanna do slightly less #or hard times somewhere ive lived before and know is ok #like on the one hand i think i could do the hard times and come out ok #but on the other christ thinking that is what got me into this whole mess with my masters and i dont wanna have to file another title ix #lmao #anyway rant over #phd consuming my life hours

6, 12, 30 for the writing asks ^_^

6. What’s the last line you wrote?

Shaking its head in what seems like disbelief before meeting his eyes again, almost like it wants to say something before it makes a noise like a growl, "oh, you're one of those seraphs, aren't you. A star-eater. No wonder you act like you've lost your mind."

(ignore that that's a couple sentences, the Thought is important)

12. Do you outline your fics?  If yes, how detailed are your outlines?  How far do you stray from them?

Oh yes! I outline my fics thoroughly. Though, I do allowed myself to deviate as much from the outline as I feel like when things go off the rails. Some snippets of planning from a couple fics & concepts:

My outlines are very... One for one. With some exceptions. I tend to basically write a very brief version of the fic and try to get the feelings and words right before I actually write it. This is... Also why it can and will take me a month to write a oneshot. I try to get things Right.

30. How much do you edit your fics?  Do you edit as you write or wait until you finish the first draft?

So! I edit them a bit? I edit while I work, but often I don't really touch anything I've already written unless it's something longer that might be taking a few months to get through. I think the fic I've edited the most is the prologue of Artificial Stars, which was originally a quickly written 2k oneshot into about 5k of actually decent fic.

Usually I don't edit to make something shorter/more concise, since I tend to only come up with more ways to bridge concepts when I go back to it. Also to be fair... There's usually no difference between first draft and final product. I cannot be asked to edit my fics after I write them, I just release them to the birds and pray for the best. (Unless I actually decide to show it to my beta reader in full instead of just sharing snippets as I... usually do.)

Conclusion: Rarely, those thangs are being given to the world as-is unless something is horrifically wrong with them

#ask a ghost #asker: solxr-planet #ask game #i get a little silly sometimes but also uhhhHH!! welcome to several things i havent posted about before #grey notes is an oc thing that will never be finished but i still have the line-by-line dialogue between two characters that is. #kind of how i plan dialogue? at least how i outline it. #i'm super picky with it and i plan stuff so much that you can usually tell pretty quickly when something isn't planned #ALSO! #scene titles! #nobody sees them ever but theyre there for me and me alone #usually theyre song lyrics or something i think is important to the concept but also other times theyre just kind of silly #“all the candy you can eat” is a song title from one of my favorite albums. #honestly i think this is the first time i've shared anything of my writing that is even remotely roshambo-centric #i am still learning how i want to write & characterize him so its a bit funky #haunted bookshelf #purely for the random stuff that's in there #also! i started breaking things up into scenes rather than just chapters and it helped a hell of a lot with my process #since it's easier to divide when there's a lot potentially happening in a chapter of something #or even just in a oneshot #my process is. definitely made for the way i write. i don't think i would ever recommend anybody do what i do with my fics #also yes i could actually just edit my plans and call that a fic because really that is the effort i put into them. #theoretically you could call my outline my first draft because really that is the way that it is

Hey, I just blocked my first hetlor! I can say that now...

#they didn't say something awful to me or anything #they just rb a gaylor post i made with a screenshot about the theory that ttpd's title is a reference to joe alwyn #i would've been fine with them doing that i guess but then I checked their blog where they had been in my opinion rude to other gaylors #so i blocked #i just don't want to potentially run into them in the future #and i thought i recognized them from times they were shitty to other gaylor blogs I follow which made me check in the first place #i didn't even notice the rb at first #they seem to actively go into gaylor spaces and “debunk” post #it's fine to disagree but don't be rude and generalize us as all doing and believing the same things #we're just as diverse as other swifties with each other #and don't actively seek us out to get upset with us—that way we'll all be a bit happier #at the end of it all both swifties and gaylors (who should count as the same fandom but we're so unfortunately divided) want good for taylo #it's no use fighting over disagreements #i wish both sides could get along... #i just feel lucky that they didn't say a word to me #i'm a bit taken aback by how close i came #gaylor #taylor swift

Three Thousand Years of Longing | Directed by Frank Miller (2022)

#three thousand years of longing #i'm very sad because this movie failed to live up to its potential so hard #i learned about from tumblr i went to watch the trailer the trailer was AMAZING #the movie started strong than it became steadily worse as it went on #for a bit while the djinn was telling his stories kind of felt like the fall #but then i don't know #the story got less interesting #the visuals got less interesting #there were title cards for some sections but not others? #i don't know i had high hopes and i'm now very disappointed #also sorry about the first gif but i just loved that transition XD #films i watched in 2022 #i made this #i just want a tag for the things i personally put out into the world

Man some of these "sport dog" breeders will have a whole alphabet soup of titles on their dogs but when you look at them they're like all novice/beginner titles. Or things like CGN. Easy stuff. I want to see Excellent and Masters titles, even if that means your dog has fewer letters after their name.

#though even among novice titles some do mean a little more than others #like a novice sprinter or dock diving or trick dog or a CGN compared to a novice agility or obedience title is very different #you are putting a lot more work into some #But still if you're trying to prove to me that you're producing amazing sport dogs then maybe some of your dogs should have big titles ... #The excuse is often 'I don't have time to compete.' But like ... if you are trying to produce sport dogs you better be finding the #time to sport them y'know? #If I want a puppy to take to the high levels of sport why on earth would I get one from parents who have only ever done the baby levels? #Your dog can have all the 'potential' you want but like ... prove it #I find this is very common with Border Collie breeders ...

a lot can be said about wind up doll as a very karen song. many ways to approach this. one that makes me sad is thinking about her as Pure Love Interest. when her only narrative function is to be that and nothing more even though she has the chances and has shown she can be something beyond that. but reduced to it nonetheless. ouuuughhh wind up doll everyone knows wind it up and way it goes it does the things it's taught to too i guess im kinda of a wind up dolly too i really walk i really talk i'll come straight to you take me home im quite a prize wind me up you'll realize just how much a wind up doll can do here's a key unlock my heart wind up dolls sometimes get lonely too wind me up i'll fall in love with you. KARENNNNNNNNN

#again while i will never be a lover in moments like these i GET how people can be. #so many layered feelings on her... victim of bad writing but the bad writing became too much of who she just Was as a character. #but there are moments where she So shines. so much potential in her. so much that could have been done!!!! #reduced in the end to nothing but a wind up doll who was taught to be a love interest and to die. #many such cases in this title. many such cases for so many women in so many stories!!! auugghhh!!!!!! #static.soundz #also note in my thought process here love interest in this case also entails the idea you are designed to be hurt and to hurt others. #whether you as the character actually hurt others. or are used as an object to cause emotional pain (ie the to die part of it etc) #which then also means you are designed to be hurt in that second part. or if not that. other characters are hurting you to fuel heartbreak #and up the stakes for the romance. so again. you are meant to be nothing but an object of hurt in some fashion #such is your duty as a love interest. your wind up doll teaching!

my friend recommended i listen to Light by Sleeping At Last and when i got to the 'with every heartbeat i have left' line i had to IMMEDIATELY go to you fic and go !!!! is this where Dal got the fic name from?! (it's been a while since i've read it, so i forgot). i'll definitely be re-listening to that song a lot, and thinking of your amazing writing every time i do! <3

IT IS YES YES and it's such a good song - and very definitely Megamind's sentiments towards Derya by the end of the fic.

I will soften every edge I'll hold the world to its best And I'll do better With every heartbeat I have left I will defend your every breath And I'll do better

Is she his? No. Does that matter? No. He can't always care about the future for his own sake but he cares with every last trembling thread of his soul for hers. He forgot what it was like to live without fear and he is going to protect that for her with everything he has and everything he is for as long as he can, and she is never going to know, and that's exactly as it should be.
