#but i wasn't clear on the rest

[trans-cuchulainn]

i can't tell if my irish has improved or if people are just making the same arguments over and over again but i was listening to an absolutely fierce argument on raidio na gaeltachta about israel and palestine and i could follow nearly all of it. several of them kept going off on one and having to be reined in by the moderator being like "please let someone else speak" "he asked me a question!! i'm answering his question!!" "even so you are not letting anyone else get a word in, please calm down"

#it is a lot easier to follow news-related discussions when you do know what's happening in the news though #they were also discussing some proposed changes to RTE i think? #but because i haven't followed that news story i found that a lot harder to keep up with #bc i didn't have the necessary context to guess the words i didn't know #eta: i just looked up the rte story and i had got about half of it #i'd grasped that they were talking about regional development and the costs of certain services #as well as the tension between being a public broadcaster vs trying to be entertainment or whatever #but i wasn't clear on the rest

[sketchy--akechi]

absolutely adore akechi's confidant and how my dude tries to establish a meaningful connection in order to manipulate akira but has absolutely no idea how to do that so he traumadumps all over the place. the bath house was an absolute disaster. "can i put my clothes back on" idk akira can you. and then instead of recognizing his desire for human connection akechi just goes and labels his feelings for akira as hatred. you did it goro you won

THIS A HUNDRED TIMES OVER 🙏 🙏 

#hes a gay disaster. thats what he is #asks #txt #i think its clear that akechi is trying to manipulate akira to some degree but #my headcanon is that akechi wasn't suspicious of akira in the beginning #and was just genuinely trying to befriend the cute boy from the tv studio #yknow. just a small part of him that was kind of Normal #but akechi caught onto akira being a phantom thief soon enough #and was like “oh i can use him” #and we know how the rest went

Aventurine learns how to play chess (Gone wrong?)

#Special thanks to my lovely brother who sent the most complicated screeenshot he could muster #The game is 5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel #Very much not the game to play to learn chess #kkdrawsalot #honkai star rail #hsr aventurine #veritas ratio #hsr dr ratio #aventio #hsr silver wolf #she's here too if it wasn't clear #Maybe I'll expand later on the dumb hc friendship I have between SW and Aven but rest assured it's very funny and cool

thinking about may 2002 again i don't get people who get freaked out over biting and blood during sex. what's even the point of having sex if you're not gonna be interesting about it

#that guy was like. really laying out clear hints that he was into that stuff too. #fucking poser. be into cannibalism for real like the rest of us #genuinely though if someone bit me during sex and i wasn't into that i think i would just like. tell them to stop. #clean the wound maybe. #wouldn't throw them out of my house and call them a FREAK. can't people have fun anymore #valentine notes

I need to independently post more about Thorfinn and Einar, because those two are so dang cute, I love them.

for me, they rest in that area where I like them as any kind of relationship you want to attribute to them. I love their bond in the canon story, because I think the way they operate as found family brothers is fitting for the thematic weight that Yukimura intends their relationship to carry.

but also it's so easy to extrapolate their closeness into romance in speculative fiction. especially if they're kind of everything to each other. they share the same brain cell. they bring out the best in how their parents raised them from each other. they are drift compatible. two smart men can be one whole idiot. "brother" as in "man who I need to remain attached to, yet this is a need for which I have no other legitimizing name." but that's before they kiss and figure out that love has as many names as there are poetic comparisons to peace and beauty in this world. Einar's type is pretty blond people with sad eyes, and he loves doing the work of making things better for them. Thorfinn's type is headstrong, stubborn brunettes who are blunt, easy to talk to, and pleasant to be around. Thorfinn said "nothing good has ever happened to me" and Einar took that as a personal challenge. Einar is full of so much morally righteous indignation that Thorfinn both wants and needs to protect him at all costs. they would share the same toothbrush if they only had one to their name.

#eitoru #thornar #einar #thorfinn #also....... size difference #that shot of their hands next to each other when they cut down the last tree on their land........ #that lives in my head rent free #Thorfinn was so malnourished at first... do you think Einar could've fit his hands all the way around Thorfinn's waist? #someone please acknowledge.......... #also if it wasn't clear I headcanon these boys as bisexuals #it is not their fault that Vinland Saga's early story is such a sausage fest #also I get what Yukimura is cooking but it's so sad that the only canon romantic prospect he ever wrote for Einar was so doomed. #let Thorfinn and Gudrid invite him into a comfy polycule at the very least. #they're already all coparenting Karli... Einar isn't just some tag along. he's as much Karli's parent as the rest of them. #idk I just.... I'm a sucker for poly ships as well

went outside and exercised normally for the first time since The Incident and i felt fine outside of the expected Hasn't Exercised in several months feelings. against doctor's orders btw but i would rather be dead than forced to spend all my time at home not doing a single thing that could exert me in any way <3

#:) #like it's so funny that they mandated i cannot drive leave the country vigorously exercise or eat snack food maybe ever again for no reason #fully my medical notes read like i'm in the managed decline phase of a terrible chronic illness even though i'm literally chilling #i feel no worse than how i normally do a couple weeks after a rough covid infection like babygirl i have no debilitating symptoms....... #PLUS my kidneys are slowly unfucking themselves anyway like. do i really need this much independence taken away for my own protection...... #longterm housebound for a short term Silly Incident??? please be serious for more than two seconds #cranky about this because it's been a month and there's still no diagnosis but they have the room to tell me what i can't do #my appointment a couple days ago was supposed to clear me to do certain things again but they denied it and i've been sulking for days #literally the only thing wrong with me is that my blood tests are saying bad things and some really annoying side effects of my meds #and i can guarantee that me resting and doing nothing is not the reason i'm not in pain or otherwise suffering in any measurable way #even when i was actively in a state of dying in hospital i wasn't in pain like get with it!!! #sometimes if i think about this too hard i end up feeling like a caged animal lmao

clarification: ketchup or bbq sauce on meat does not count for the purpose of this poll, nor do sweeter veg like sweet pickles, carrots or caramelized onion. i'm talking meat with fruit or honey or maple syrup or sweet glazes.

#food poll #if it wasn't clear: i basically want sweet meat dishes every hour of the minute of the second yum yum yum #and i have a person in my life who loooooves to react with disgust and bafflement at very minor sweet meat combos #like having a forkful of pancake and sausage at the same time. like the pancake has to be 'dessert' after the rest of savory breakfast #also i'm sorry i spelled monte cristo wrong lmao i can't change it

i have reached another vonnegut "NOT homosexual" disclaimer. It is literally never not funny. This book came out in 1952, "no homo" was not a thing. No one else wrote their book this way! They just assumed that obviously that would never cross your mind, why would it? There HAS to have been at least a couple people who learned what homosexuality even was by reconstructing it from these bits.

#this one wasn't even that close! the sentence was already prefaced with how my guy couldn't use words like love and affection about friends! #we were already out of the romantic context here! this is not a genderless pining robot situation this time! #ink post #vonnegut #and to be clear: it never feels aggressive or even especially marginalizing #like these are usually characters who are as dead as the rest of the cast wherever that ends up #and theyre written as full people who are not more good or evil than baseline #i'm CONVINCED at least one or two was semi-intended as rep and an editor told him to tone it down or something #there are simply too many of them. they are too diverse as a class. i think they might actually outnumber the women in what ive read so far

Noooo Minthara is bugged in this playthrough 😭😭😭😭😭

#i wasn't going to be using her much tbh but i love her and i didn't want to have to abandon her #i basically can't interact with her at all #got the first scene to rescue her from prison then told her to wait there while i cleared the rest of the guards #and now i can't talk to her 😭 #katherine plays bg3

Okay I think that's enough for tonight. Tomorrow I have a TTRPG game that I haven't finished getting my character ready for, so I don't think I'll get another 24 posts up and finish posting Round 1 this weekend. I might be able to finish it up Monday before work, but we shall see. Thank you for your patience so far.

#I hope everybody in every timezone working every shift gets a restful sleep the next time they lay down. <3 #Not A Poll #To be clear I am planning on posting tomorrow. But I spent all day today on this and got 24 polls posted. So I don't think I'll get 24 poll #posted in half of a day. #(I videocalled with a friend and watched video essays. It was a fun day.) #My goal is to finish posting Round 1 before the first Round 1 posts expire so that I can reblog the first ones for anyone who wasn't around #when they were posted. #Mod Update

I only lurked on the Internet for a long time and still do not post on most websites I visit but it really is nice to have a place where I can talk about things like animated shows and music and other assorted interests without being judged

#personal #i will go on and on and on about the things i like and IRL it makes people sick of me #especially because my friends when i was younger were mean about my interests #i remember one time (i was 13) i was hanging out w/ my friends and we were watching shows so i put on invader zim #and then in the middle they said ''turn it off this show is so stupid'' and the rest of the night they watched superstore #i had to uh... resist the urge to run and jump out the window the rest of the time #people including my parents would make fun of the music i liked since i was like 11 #it would get to the point where i would snatch my headphones out of people's hands and obsessively clear every tab so they wouldn't see it #i would also get made fun of because i was bad at drawing (by my own parents too) and was kind of awkward in general #it made me very self conscious about so many aspects of myself i really wasn't happy #i think i am only starting to get a little better about it #and i'll be honest i'm not innocent when it comes to making fun of people for harmless interests too. the behavior is contagious i think #i try not to do it now i'm not proud of it #not to be too incredibly vent-y. but i really like feeling more comfortable talking about things i enjoy somewhere #i have found more friends that have some similar interests to me now and old friends have apologized and gotten less harsh #which helps. but also posting paragraphs on the internet about random shit helps too

i like giving gifts, i like looking for something that the other person will actually appreciate, but most of all i like making gifts with my own clumsy hands. i pour my love into it. it's my affection made tangible. so then naturally it means the world to me when i find out they really like it like i hoped they would :')

#i once gifted to my brother a framed fake troubled birds print i had made myself specifically for him and he had seemed mostly perplexed by #it which. heartbreaking. later on we found out he had straight up thought it was an official troubled birds print and not a crafted joke but #even after that was cleared there wasn't a big difference and i think it was gonna bother me forever -that i had been so wrong with it- #except that now he offhandedly told me 'oh yeah btw yknow how that thing you gifted me is literally... wait perhaps you don't know ok so #remember that troubled bird thing you made me (as if i could forget)? yeah i put it on the wall in my room and it's like the first thing you #see when you come in and i feel it very much haha anyways i was saying ' AND I HAD TO BE LIKE WAIT A SECOND YOU WHAT? YOU WHAT? #YOU LIKE IT? YOU FEEL IT? WHAT? anyways i almost teared up even now i feel a bit emotional idk. i did say it means the whole world to me :') #anyways day saved now i can face the rest of it all #x

me, ten years ago: i'm not cliche i don't have a favourite flower. they're kinda meh in my opinion. carnations are my birth flower so... i guess that.

me, now: YELLOW ROSES MAKE ME EXTRAORDINARILY HAPPY

#shut up danni's talking #yes i am a cliche when it comes to fave flowers but roses are v pretty and they're part of my name so nyeh #yellow roses especially are my favourite. pale pink ones are v cute and sweet and white is a close third but the rest i can pass on #red is way too cliche and tied to romance which lmao no thanks its also one of the reasons i love yellow roses! #they symbolise friendship and almost always the particular shade of yellow is my favourite colour ever #if i were to ever have a symbol that represents me it'd be yellow roses #i found a design a while ago of a yellow rose w aromantic arrows behind it and i never resonated with anything as much as i did that #anyways the reason for my v passionate happiness is bc i cleaned my desk and i asked my mum to get me some cut flowers to decorate it #bc my desk wasn't clear enough to have smth like flowers on there and she knows me SO well that she got me yellow roses #i have them on my desk rn next to my monitor so i am incredibly happy

I feel like Menelaus would be the kind of husband that buys his wife lingerie as a present. Yes, maybe it's beautiful and it's thoughtful enough to be her style, but it's as much a present to himself as it is for her, if not more.

Odysseus on the other hand would be the kind of husband that makes a present that is actually a part of a long inside joke with his wife. It would probably be received with an annoyed groan while he breaks his ribs laughing at the face Penelope makes. Ultimately a present for himself as well, but in a different way. Penelope retaliates doing the same thing. They've been giving and receiving shitty annoying gifs they hate for years. They both actually love it. Telemachus doesn't understand.

#I was writing the bibliography section of the paperwork I'm filling and this came to me and wouldn't leave my mind #so I'm putting it here to exorcise it out of my head #I also toyed with the idea of Hector and perhaps Agamemnon #I think Hector maybe is the kind of person that buys just the perfect thing but it's perhaps a bit too useful a gift #I feel Andromache would like it that way though #Maybe Agamemnon is one of those that buy something *they* want and it would make Clytemnestra fume inside #Although perhaps I'm just being a bit mean. Actually‚ maybe it's Paris the one who does that #I wasn't sure about the rest and I didn't give it too much thought‚ but Menelaus and Odysseus were crystal clear #I talk too much #I should probably delete this later #I hate that tumble got rid of the five tag thing #I want to organise things in my blog without bothering people following the tag with my silly things please #Odysseus #Menelaus #Odiseo #Menelao
