#acquiring skill

[projectbatman193]

I've been trying to learn math and coding for a while now (both are weak points of mine and lye waaay out of my comfort zone), the basic stuff always seem pretty basic, but the more advanced is way too out there for me to grasp, so I very much enjoy the idea of being able to get all from one source.

I've been trying other methods, but felt that a book would be more helpful for me, I took the oportunity to order another book from the same collection but about computer science and coding.

Let's see how this goes, but I feel way more comfortable with books.

hi hellen! i'm a high schooler thinking of pursuing law - i know it's tough to get into, but i'd like to give it a shot. how did you know that it was right for you, and what would you consider to be the most important things to do to prepare to study it in advance? any additional advice would be great, thanks!

Well, the thing you often hear about "oh, you're so good at arguing, you should be a lawyer" is mostly bull. The actual main skills for a lawyer are research, writing, analysis/application, negotiation, debate (not arguing) and emotional regulation. If that sounds appealing, it may be a good fit!

I pretty much always tell people that you should do your bachelor's in something other than prelaw. In fact, it should be in whatever field you would want to have a career in if you weren't a lawyer. Law schools generally do not require specific undergrad majors, as I, with my double art degree can attest. Law school is geared to give you all the basic tools necessary for being a lawyer. I did not notice any meaningful advantage a prelaw major provided to my peers. If you have a particular law school in mind, look into their admissions criteria, but otherwise--get your bachelor's in your backup career.

Work on your reading and writing, and go to court. Courts are open to the public and these days most of them actually have facebook and twitter pages where they post dockets; many courts post-pandemic actually also livestream all proceedings, sometimes right on youtube. Look at what's going on in some of your local courts, and just go watch it happen. You are welcome to sit and watch court proceedings, just don't be disruptive and be prepared to go through a security check. Get a sense for what goes on!

#Also #one of the oft-overlooked skills a lawyer needs is the rapid acquisition of understanding new fields--you're trained to never ask your witn #and that means that when you have expert witnesses #you need to acquire enough of an understanding of their field to be able to plan your questions.

Lifetime Learning

Learn-gain or acquire knowledge of or skill in (something) by study, experience, or being taught. One of the most powerful gifts we can have as human beings are the ability to learn. This strength is a process that we should continue to nurture throughout our lives because of the benefits the process provides the individuals experiencing it.  You are never too old or too wise to learn something…

personally i love the idea of miles and franziska being out together and mentioning the fact that they're siblings to a stranger and said person being like 'oh yeah i can see the resemblance!' and them just rolling with it because them being blood relatives is far more believable than the shakespearean tragedy that is their life

#ace attorney #miles edgeworth #franziska von karma #von karma siblings #miles and franziska #i mean fair hair? check. light colored eyes? check? the signature Von Karma Stare of Death? an acquired skill #okay they would never just tell a random person their life story but still. #but imagine someone telling franziska that she looks like miles and her brain just blue screening #mine

Do you guys ever think about how violated and detached from her body Anne feels after dying and receiving a new copy of her body. It looks the same, but certain things are different enough to the point where she feels like she’ll never be the same again.

#I’m a big fan of her new body not having any of the scars she acquired over the years #her hands are smooth and without the cuts and scrapes she got in amphibia #the scars she got when practicing her knife skills at her parents restaurant are gone #certain freckles and birthmarks on her body are either gone or changed in shape and size #it’s the same body #but it feels so different #and she always has the feeling of being violated and changed #amphibia #anne boonchuy

post/734733274896809984/do-you-ever-worry-your-own-writing-might-come-off that makes sense. i was asking because i'm afraid of accidentally writing misogyny myself and i kind of admire what you do

Hmm... I wish I had better advice to give you on this front, but honestly, the only thing I can tell you is to consider the perspective of your female characters.

Women are people. They have thoughts and feelings of their own, so like... just let them have their own arcs. A lot of the worst misogyny in WC comes from the way that the writers just don't care about their girls (or, in the case of tall shadow, actually get undermined and forced to rewrite entire chapters), so they're not curious about their lives, or WHY they feel the way they do or what they want, or any direction for their character arcs.

Turtle Tail as an example. She'll often just end up feeling whatever Gray Wing's plot demands. She's gotta leave when Storm dumps him to make him feel lonely. She shows up again to love him in the next book. Lets her best friend Bumble get dragged back to Tom the Wifebeater, but is sad enough about her death to be "unreasonably angry" with Clear Sky, and then calms down and accept Gray Wing is right all along.

And then she dies, so he can have his very own fridge wife.

In this way, Turtle Tail's just being used to tell Gray Wing's story. They're not interested in why she would turn on Bumble, or god forbid any lingering negative feelings for how she didn't help her, or even resentment towards Clear Sky for killing her or Gray Wing for jumping to his defense. She isn't really going through her own character arc.

She does have personality traits of her own, don't misunderstand my criticism, but as a character she revolves around Gray Wing.

So, zoom out every now and then, and just ask yourself; "Whose story is being told by what I wrote? Do my female characters have goals, wants, and agency, or are they just supporting men? How do their choices impact the narrative?"

But that's already kinda assuming that you already have characters like Turtle Tail who DO have personalities and potential of their own. Here's some super simple and practical advice that helped me;

Tally the genders in your cast. How many are boys, how many are girls, how many are others?

And take stock of how many of those characters are just in the supporting cast, and compare that to the amount you have in the main cast.

If you have a significant imbalance, ESPECIALLY in the main cast, fire the Woman Beam.

It's a really simple trick to just write a male character, and then change its gender while keeping it the same. I promise women are really not fundamentally different from men lmao. You can consider how your in-universe gender roles affect them later, if you'd like, but when you're just starting to wean yourself off a "boy bias" this trick works like a charm.

Also you're not allowed to change the body type of any girl you Woman Beam because I said so. PLEASE allow your girls to have muscles, or be fat, or be old, or have lots of scars. Do NOT do what a cowardly Triple A studio does, where the women all have the same cute or sexy face and curvy body while they're standing next to dwarves, robots, and a gorilla.

Or this shit,

If you do this I will GET you. If you're ever possessed by the dark urge, you will see my face appear in the clouds like Mufasa himself to guide you away from the path of evil.

Anyway, you get better at just making characters girls to begin with as time goes on and you practice it. It's really not as big of a deal as your brain might think it is.

Take a legitimate interest in female characters and try not to disproportionately hit them with parental/romance plots as opposed to the male cast, and you'll be fine. Don't think of them as "SPECIAL WOMEN CHARACTERS" just make a character and then let her be a girl, occasionally checking your tally and doing some critical thinking about their use in the story.

(Also remember I'm not a professional or anything, I'm just trying to give advice)

#I wish I had more succinct and practical advice to give you besides the woman beam trick #Honestly I just kinda feel it out because I like telling stories about girls #I made it fun for myself by clapping and cheering and whooping and hollering whenever a girl does something #because it's not fun to write like a monk in a monastery #With the spectre of Brother Smockbimble looming over your shoulder telling you to Write Perfectly Every Time #Characters aren't real people. You can just fix it if you happen to fuck up or do better next time with what you learned. #Making mistakes is just part of acquiring skill #and writing is an art just like painting or drawing. #So don't make a fun OC project into homework! You should be enjoying making your own art! Express yourself! #Please understand that when I'm ripping into the series I'm being so harsh because it's bestselling corporate media #Read by HUNDREDS of thousands of kids worldwide #Raking in millions of dollars a year. Written by a TEAM of professionals. #So I have higher expectations of it than of a fandom rando on the internet. Or even a self-published author who's just One Guy. #Hence why I'm infinitely more charitable to Ratha than I am to Battle Cats #bones gives advice

I was rewatching Good Omens earlier today and I noticed something thats probably been analyzed before, but I'm a film studies minor thats losing their marbles over this I need to talk about it.

SO I've taken a ton of classes about filming and story telling. And one aspect of story telling I love so much is cinematography (you'll see the cinematographer credited as Director of photography) the purpose of this job to direct lighting, color, and framing during shoots. So whenever you see changes in a shot to any of those things, the cinematographer is the one directing that in order to create a certain feeling for the scene and audience.

why am i telling you all that? Because the director of photography on Good Omens (Gavin Finney) achieved something that has me climbing the walls. In the first season when Crowley and Aziraphale are having a "breakdown" in their relationship under the band stand in the park each time it cuts between them something changes in the framing. When we are looking at Crowley from Aziraphales POV, Crowley seems farther away in the shot. And when we are looking at Aziraphale from Crowley's POV Azi is closer. Then we see this framing again in season 2 during the confession scene. Azi looks much closer from Crowleys POV and Crowley is much farther to Azi.

The number one thing I've learned through out my film classes is when you are framing someone in your shot you have to show what's most important to your character, show don't tell. The purpose of that is a great story should be able to be told without sound, so showing emotion and feeling in the way you frame shots is important.

So what are the feelings in these frames? Crowley wants Aziraphale to be close, for Azi to just accept their love, to stop pushing him away, and be together. Each time they've had these confrontations Crowley is always the one wanting to be closer. While Crowley in Aziraphales eyes need to be farther away, stop getting closer, and only sees them as an Angel and Demon who are on opposite sides (lets be honest Azi you are fckn SMITTEN with Crowley). In the second season the feelings have changed but in the end it still hurts the same. They are important to each other but have different ideas of what their love/relationship should be. I think in order for the framing in each others eyes to be balanced they'll need to stop talking AT each other and start talking TO each other.

Anyway there are my two cents I could add more but it hurts to think about. (I'll think about it the more I watch honestly so more might be added.)

#Excuse all my grammar mistakes I'm too lazy to correct anything #as long as you can read and understand it lol its always appreciated when anyone reads my takes. #good omens #good omens 2 #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #could this be considered meta? #its more of an observation based on skills I've acquired. #nobie does stuff #txt post

Four: I don’t understand why I’m so… anxious and on edge these days. Like it doesn’t make sense, I never used to be like this. At least not to this degree.

Warriors: Four. As an ICU nurse, what’s your job?

Four: Uh… take care of critically ill people?

Wars: What do you always have to do?

Four: Assume the worst is going to happen, have a plan in place, and always be ready for things to go wrong.

Wars: :)

Four: OK BUT—but that’s just work!

Legend, huffing: You think your brain doesn’t start taking that outside of work?

Four: YOU told me to disconnect work from the rest of my life!

Legend: Yeah! Because of stuff like this!

Sky: So what Legend’s saying is don’t be like him.

Legend: Exactly! Wait—

kinda cringe fail to have the same goal for a few hundred years and never achieving it. Fyodor was probably around even before the Book even existed and he never found a way to destroy abilities? Truly a skill issue

#I actually don’t think it’s a skill issue I just like to make fun of him #hm important questions tho: how and when where abilities created? has Fyodor been around since then? #what’s his connection with the book? it’s probably around for a while but how did it take him so long to even acquire a single page? #bungou stray dogs #bsd spoilers #bsd 113
