cant stop thinking abt disco elysium. im obsessed w the Pale. i love how its an extremely prominent and fundamental part of that world but it only comes up a handful of times. you can very easily go through the whole game without knowing what it is. its just not super relevant to Harrier’s current situation

when you ask Joyce about it Kitsuragi gets concerned learning about it will break your brain because its such a horrifying thing but its also mundane and every1 knows about it, slowly swallowing the world. its like. imagine waking up with complete amnesia and having someone explain that global warming is happening

#i just really really like that in this setting the world-swallowing anomaly isnt centered in the plot. youve got murders to solve #im fascinated by the world in DE in general. its like #its so vastly different from ours in many ways but like politically and economically its extremely similar #its like. alternate historical fiction and also dystopian and also sci fi but not in the ways youd expect #its a very easy world to place yourself within because it doesnt overdo the more fantastical elements #theyre just there #mercs have high tech shiny ceramic armor that blocks bullets and the pale is slowly expanding #idk man its cwazy. its weird and wobblly #i love it #long post #haley plays disco elysium #disco elysiums spoilers #spoilers

You’ve got to be very careful with doing a deliberate misinformation on your fantasy lore bc it’s easy to just end up confusing your readers — give people too many layers of lies or wrong information to peel back and they’ll simply stop keeping track, whether because they got lost or because any revelations were so often later refuted that they stopped caring — however if you do have the skill to strike that balance it’s both enriching and very funny to have guys in your world who are Just Wrong about how stuff works.

#writing #I’ve been thinking about world building recently in terms of like #who are the flat earthers of this universe. who are the guys with bugfuck easily disprovable conspiracy theories and why #who is fantasy Dan Olson making videos about #idk I think it can tell you some interesting things bc #conspiracy theories are often manifestations of existing #prejudices or paranoias or social/political/economic/religious anxieties #that have just been dialed up to eleven #so a) it’s entertaining to invent the full funhouse mirror reflection and enjoy its absurdity #and b) if you can take that reflection and figure out how to ease the dial back to like. a four. #then you probably have a solid foundation for some of the more insidious and pervasive social issues in your fantasy society

i feel like i see posts like this so much and it's kind of weird bc this applies only to like. a very specific subset of people (ppl who are into phineas and ferb + aware of the "two nickels" thing being repostet a lot) which is like. a subset of people in a fairly specific age range (the right age to have watched phineas and ferb so like. idk 15 - 30 year olds probably being generous) AND are active on specific social media platforms to have seen this joke repeated a lot so it burrows into their memory bc most people who just casually watched phineas and ferb aren't that likely to remember this specific moment (i know i didn't without the meme). and idk this is not a big deal i just find it interesting how often people online will post about something that is extremely specific to them and the social circles they move in as if it's a really universal experience

#im def thinking about this too deeply but i see this a lot w very online young people #even where they'll be like 'omg everyone in gen Z is like THIS' and its like #no not everyone in your generation is a certain way it's just that #you don't really interact with people outside of your specific circles #be it online or physical #like online you probably algorythmically get promoted things that confirm your world view bc that is the things you're interested in #so you get a sort of feedback loop of people in your same age range #who get promoted similar content based on age and browsing habits #and you're not gonna really break out of that unless you really look for it #and physically you hang out with your friends who have the same interests as you and are likely in similar economical and social situations #and are likely at your school or uni so you're in really similar situations #its even happened to me bc back in the day i never liked using twitter but my friends who were on twitter were really confused when #i didn't get the 'twitter idioms' even though we move in similar circles i just hadn't been introduced to things specifically popular on tw #twitter #so things that seemed universal to them were completely new to me #and the other way around too where i think smth is extremely generally well known but people i talk to have no idea what's up #my sister who's two years older than me probably doesn't even remember phineas and ferb that well just bc she wasn't that into cartoons #idk. all that to say. #your experiences are not universal #the life and times of brows

#Aah I have so many thoughts concerning this episode #First of all: that I can think of Lucy really is the character that grew the most on me. #I remember I really didn't feel strongly for her the first time I watched and through the first year or so‚ #even after finishing reading the manga‚ but now I really like her a lot and feel strong sympathy for her!! #Second. I remember the first time watching I found Fitzgerald's portrayal really distatsteful... #Like I get there's a whole deal of the usa's economic power having destroyed literal countries. #And Japanese people are rightfully enraged at them. #And I get there's a whole deal of cultural colonization made by the usa of half the world #That said. I don't like countries stereotypes in general no matter the country. I believe it's harmful to enable stereotypes full stop. #Moreso in bsd where a lot of it feels to me like “Our country is the best and all other countries are bad / evil / lesser” #(Again like. There IS an issue with how every single foreign character is a villain if you ask me) #(And this is coming from someone who's not from the usa nor feels particular kinship with it. #Just to clarify that I shouldn't be holding preceding bias. Again I just dislike stereotypes in general‚ the country doesn't matter) #Third I LOVE Lucy's va they're sooooo good!!!! I adore them in p/p voicing Akane– #and it's extraordinary to see them voice a villain in this episode. I love them so so much they're so good at what they do #Fourth I remember the first time watching the episode it was immensely amusing how between Akutagawa and Lucy‚ #it really felt like everyone was trying to make a competition with Atsushi on who had the most miserable orphan life. Like guys‚ wtf 😂😂 #Fifth another thing that bugged me MASSIVELY was Lucy's reaction to Mori like… What even is that……… #Idk it's probably not a big deal and it's probably just an issue with me but. #It's just that in the context of bsd already being plenty sexist everywhere you look. #You have a female character who's evidently got the upper hand‚ in her own reign‚ with a super powerful ability– #facing a defenseless male character. And yet the male character is implied to win due to the power of his……… Frightening stare. #Like you DO get why it irks me right. One thing would have been if that was an ability he had‚ #but also the way it only seems to effect Lucy… To me it really adds to a rhetoric of women being more frail / easily scared– #because it's not like Mori was ever able to use his special move: scary look™ on anyone else #So y'know :/// #That's it. Atsushi and Kyouka were super cute <333 #random rambles

life update/2023 so far:

moved to a new (big) city with the intention to build a good life post-graduation; flatmate turned out to be a massive narcissist and i did not have money to move again; spent several months applying to jobs and realised my degree is considered useless outside of science; made some friends (but the person i grew closest to will move away), felt like too much of a mess for dating; got a trainee position with a ridiculous salary but took it for the work experience; visited my best friend in the netherlands and had one good week; started work, struggled with 40h weeks, got along really well with my colleagues; started looking for a flat and realised it is impossible in this city without a good income; rain for weeks, some peace in that; got laid off for financial reasons; mini breakdown (i have been coping weirdly well/suppressing my emotions, not sure); went to the seaside and had a couple good hours; decided to move back to my hometown (for questionable, almost entirely emotional reasons); started looking for a room (anxiously) or flat (pessimistically); my dad still has brain cancer; i have not talked to my therapist in four months

i still can't believe she said that shit to me

#wordstag #she KNOWS I can't get behind that stuff ! She's met me yeah ? #tthen she has the audacity to say it's not that deep. Like yeah; saying that all of humanity is inherently evil and wouldn't #accomplish anything if it weren't for their lives hanging over their heads isn't that deep. Average Tuesday type conversation. #'if you were an apple farmer wouldn't you want to hoard your apples?' BUT FOR WHAT?? WHERE DOES THAT GREED GET YOU. WHY IS THE AVERAGE #PERSON IN YOUR MIND INHERENTLY GREEDY. Like ohhh if everything was free nothing would get done because people need motivation #like shit isn't getting done as it is now. You want to be a music teacher. You can't because of money. Why isn't this an obvious solution #like . I know you can't just go welp everything is free now; have fun. I know you can't destroy all of modern economics like that. #but why is a hypothetical magical world where we do that bad. What did the human race do before capitalism? Just roll over and die? #there was still art. There's always art. There's always going to be someone who wants to do something with their life that can't #because of MONEY. Like everything is so focused on money [coughing at the art industry] why can't it just be . #^^^^ anyway context I was talking 2 someone (that I know . Like really well ) and proposed just #getting rid of money forever . Because fhey wanted to be a teacher but couldn't bc money #and this was like . The most preposterous thing to them. Why would people do anything if not for money etcetc #even went as far as 'humans are inherently evil' which wooooaaaaah slow down there buddy . #you're letting your christian show. Or whateevr. Idk just not an idea I can personally get behind #then she goes 'it'snotbthat deep' like she didn't just imply something about the entirety of the human population. Or something. #like if humans are so evil jsut kill us now or something .

One day, I will make a World Economic Journal "zine" which will be just an issue of WEJ full of my fake parody articles

#sadly i can't graphic design so idk what i'll do about *that* but #yes. #one piece #world economic journal

[masonsystem]

damn what a coincidence i was literally just researching lolicon phenomenon this week and now theres a kpop controversy abt it

#i hate that shit so bad hahaha. but anyways an interesting theory (proposal? idk proper terms) i read is #it rapidly developed after the us occupation of japan; #media culture rapidly grew to become soft power for japan since they were no longer allowed to #have their own military. so they fostered their media sector instead #also economic difficulties incentivized men towards fictional relationships bc it was less costly + less socially difficult #than attaining a real life relationship #-> which is also a contributor to japans shrinking population #and ofc japanese patriarchal culture helps to support the creation and propagation of this #now whether this can be taken as a fact im not completely sure. this was just one paper #it made good points but unfortunately it wasnt super well writen #paper is The Cost of Lolicon by Megan Sluzhevsky #its a pain in the ass to argue abt bc unfortunately theres no clear 'proof' that #illustrated csem correlates to real world csa #(like obvs it does but like. i dont think anyones put out concrete data for that yknow #its not the easiest thing in the world to 'prove'. unfortunately) #also the arguement of thought censorship and free speech.... *shakes fist* #now my personal opinion. i believe ppl who partake in this shit should die! #but im still gonna keep reading abt it. grrrr

Seeing "third world country" always upsets me like are they so alien to you? Are poorer countries from a different planet or something?

#in school i was taught #less/more economically developed country #idk if that's perfect it was 15 years ago but sounds better than fucking third world #worm food

Getting out of ur own head is hard

#it’s important to remember your position in the world . your connections to your friends and family . and that people do care about you #gotta remember to relax my shoulders #and that people want good things for me and love me ^_^ cause I love them in turn #I have to be a better friend tho a better student too I’ve been trying but idk #there’s this unattainable mark of perfection that seems easy in theory #everything will be okay #there’s this quote from the sound of waves that really stood out to me ‘everything’s sure to turn out right in the end’ #paraphrasing jukichi but point still stands #there’s so much anxiety about the ever spiraling state of the world - politics and economics and fear and hatred #these things have always come in waves and won’t last forever . there will be a point of inflection

[svankmajerbaby]

i just watched the menu. still not sure why everyone thinks anya taylor joy is an amazing actress. the movie would have been much better if it was a straight up horror comedy a la ready or not and if it cast samara weaving as taylor joys bland character and if the incomprehensible ralph fiennes villain was played by mads mikkelsen hannibal..... ralph fiennes evil dinner course introductions were dull as hell and we are supposed to think hes a genius or sth

#. 🦴 #i didnt hate it or anything i just wished it was more interesting i guess #it tried to say sth about social and economic classes and about women in the culinary world..... #and then did absolutely nothing with it #or it did and i didnt notice. idk #i was the only one in my row at the cinema who wasnt checking my phone tho omg #ppl dont use your phones during a movie geez

[yourlocalfallofthewest]

the reason im a marxist is not because i care for people, but because i like seeing my knowledge apply to the real world

#joking obv #but it is so #idk #fun? #when the stuff ive learned by reading economic theory #applied to the real world
