#construction not up to code

[captainjonnitkessler]

I truly, TRULY do not know how to say this, because the fact that I have to say it makes me feel like I am losing my grip on reality. But no, in the post-capitalistic anarchist utopia, I will not be relying on “autistic minecraft girlies” to be building inspectors because - and this may shock you - one of those occupations takes years of education in how to read and interpret hundreds of thousands of lines of regulations based on complicated math and physics that were the result of decades of tragedy and death, and the other one involves playing a children’s video game.

#i am begging this website. BEGGING it. to stop acting like building codes are state oppression #and please stop reducing blue collar jobs to 'so easy any handyman could do it with a youtube video' #that's how people fucking die #i didn't spend five years learning how to do my job safely to watch people online tell me it could've just been a course in high school #i know that this is like. a minority minority opinion and not really worth getting worked up over #but it's so annoying to see supposed leftists denigrating blue collar jobs like this #same poster also opined that we won't need garbagemen #because 'if the trash is bothering people they'll figure out a way to clean it without having to pick it up' #like what??? does that even fucking mean???? #construction

Now this might be because I have issues but is it just me or does Slay The Princess feel like an allegory for a relationship?

#like i dont even mean the actual textual stuff like the two gods loving each other i mean like #while the narrator himself does say that he is not the protagonist at all the voices do in fact count him as one of them and #both the narrator and the voices are described as shattered glass pieces on the floor #and im saying that just to contextualise what im about to say because i feel like the narrator is an echo of someone who was in #a relationship with another person and is trying to 'slay' the memory of this person and defeat death not only literally but #on a metaphorical level (as in the death of a relationship). if you do slay her you destroy her memory and in that way you do not know her #at all nor do you care to #and the routes would be the perspectives held by different parts of you. shes literally a being that changes based on who perceives her #but metaphorically thats just how people work isnt it? relationships are complicated and there is a part of you who sees someone as a razor #and there is a part of you who sees them as a damsel and another who sees them as a god etc etc #its like youre a person who is trying to make sense of the situation and; which is why the construct of the princess is made up of #several vessels called perspectives. you understand the whole of what you think only when you take apart all your perspectives; #and theres a you who isnt you anymore who doesnt want to do this. hes telling you to just destroy it. it was wholly wretched and wholly bad #and it changed which is a crime in itself. theres an echo of you. and theres you; built by this echo because thats how the self works #we are each our own god and we build ourselves. the different voices are like different parts of you #much like the vessels are the equivalent of the voices. theyre the finite confined perspectives; aspects of a whole person #and slaying her in this context would obviously mean literally just destroying the memory and deciding that change and all it brings #is an awful thing. though im not yet sure what the difference between leaving with the whole and between separating yourself #and leaving with just an aspect would be. #thats probably like the only thing thats kinda ruining this interpretation lol #oh and obviously a lot of the routes have like very strong relationship symbolism. specifically a lot of them feel like #scenes from a relationship that is falling apart. for example in the adversary and then the fury when you run away the dialogue #basically mimics a partner running away from a conflict and the other one destroying themselves because of it #witch and the thorn are both heavily Esop-coded and the text itself says that its about two people hurting each other even though they love #each other but both are afraid of the other one and of being vulnerable. thorn is about finding forgiveness in one another #and deciding to be better and love each other despite the hurt youve caused each other due to your problems #etc etc #like am i insane am i mental am i projecting?

I played Season over the weekend, which if I had to condense "thematic meandering" into a videogame is probably what I would most closely end up with; but it was still a cozy chill time that targeted my very specific niche of robust cow petting mechanics. Followed by journaling the heck out of them.

I do think cute indies living and dying by their sincere desire to paint the human condition should never ever ever fall into the temptation of obtuse and nebulous worldbuilding that desperately needs to explain itself so it can function as an aesthetic blanket for their vignettes. Just keep it loose and metaphor-heavy, fellas.

Cause if you're not extremely, painfully specific about your intention with a story that centers ignorant tourism and historic preservation, you're gonna beef it, bud

#season a letter to the future #I have so many nitpicks but it feels mean lmao. in a very subjective sense I had a good time with it. I am a boring playstyle guy #scrapbooking and cycling in a pretty world is right up my alley. wish it wasn't so #man idk if I can call it what I want to call it cause it's so unclear of its own optics. the intention feels pure #for whatever good that can do in a context this god damn loaded :D but at least I recorded the froggies on my tapes #(a game like this does not need elaborate lore that it then fails to adequately explain anyway. that is a barrier to many of season's #emotional high points. shit just lacks clarity of purpose and happens as a given and banks on its aesthetic and melancholic context to #provide the necessary backbone for that punch. but then you end up revealing your hand and general flippant disposition towards this #nebulously coded cultural backdrop that you've constructed for ultimately shallow purposes. especially irt to the core ethos #like the game ultimately asks us if dispassionate preservation of a dying culture is more valuable than the vicarious experience of it but #then that binary is never meaningfully weighted since the protagonist survives and succeeds in either option BECAUSE of the journal and? #it all fizzles out in thematic incongruity. maybe it's my own hangups with glorification of legacy to such a manic degree #or maybe it's really just meant to be sort-of aimless and 'human' in that way. which again negates the need for this lore-brain barrier #just keep it simple without the oddly pedestrian mechanics of the literal apocalypse and the mass amnesia prayers and tell #the exact same story. with a tighter grip on the context of who the protagonist is in this land. there's your game) #text

The handler is very cool and epic actually

Capcom just refuses to hire writers for some reason and also has like 1 intern who isn't a misogynistic dick wad who wasn't in the day they wrote her dialogue

#the handler should have been a super autism coded charcater who cant be scared by anything #like shes just so fascinated by the beauty of the new world #that she doesnt notice the giant monster sneaking up on her #and is still like unharmed by some cosmic luck of the universe #like inspector gadget or domino #shes a looney tunes baby walking theough a construction site #anyone who tries to help her ends up on the receiving end of everything bad that could have happened while shes unscathed #the mh team just has this weird idea that any woman in the series HAD to either be sexualised to shit or super incompetent #no in between #no nuance #monster hunter seriously needs to address its misogyny problem and players need to stop brushing it under the rug #monster hunter #monster hunter lore

punz is the guard dog of yap city. btw

#i just need this on my blog sorry for still being insane abt this #its bc despite this servers rp being very not serious i constructed this whole idea of a king/knight coded dynamic for punz and foosh #and then foolish just went and said this and it made me worse #me when characters are guard dog coded. me when characters are loyal to a fault. me when characters blur the lines between service and love #<-like yes this is all shit i made up. yes punz hasnt even streamed on the server yet. is anyone going to stop me though? no #my clips #funz #i guess. idk thats the only maintag i feel good putting bc the reality is im mostly posting this to save it for me #bc it plays perfectly into my headcanons for this roleplay that only barely exists yet. like u can rb it if u want but this post is for me #which i think is evidenced by 90% of it being me talking in the tags lmao

Legendary Swordswoman Tenten x Prince of Hyrule Neji. Is this anything

@liecoris liked for a Hikoo starter

It figures at some point the construction company he worked for would try to use and pawn him off to do other tasks. He assumed they must have thought he was fairly clueless of his surroundings due to his still learning status of the language and culture around. However, this was not much different than what he did as a gang member for his own planet.

Truthfully, though he didn't really care about what he was giving away he couldn't read the forms anyway. "You pretty lady, here. Take this, boss say it's for you. You did a good job." His work of the common language still was rough without his translator which didn't have on him today, hence his more simplistic wording.

#liecoris #i hope this okay #i tried to work with the idea of her being a assassin #and the construction company he work for is lowkey a criminal cover up that think they can use him #but he kinda know universal crime code and just kinda don't care and just wants money

i'm working on my own neocities site finally 😎👍 look forward to that.. whenever

#ive done a little html css before so ive messed with that but one i can actually put out there publicly yknow #it's fun to build it up from the ground up (kinda) and knowing that there are so many resources to use like that's the nature of code #there's a lot of asking questions from ppl and even ppl who do it often have to look stuff up so it feels beginner friendly . to me anyways #at the very least it feels not stressful and there's no high expectations. to me #very much a develop at your own pace #fun thing abt geocities is that a lot of ppl would put banners that said stuff abt how the site was under construction #or even like perpetually so just bc there's so much you can do and update and everything #but u dont see that with websites now.. since companies found out how to monetize the web. everything is expected to be a finished product #and confined to the restraints set by them. but if you get your own website #or hosted on something free like neocities that wont tell you how you should do things theres so much freedom #i have many thoughts on all this but the tags isnt somewhere to get into it lol

Okay everyone thank you for the help and notes in my other post it helped me refine some of the thoughts! So far I think I would need a 36 x 33 ft square to put them all in one room/space

At its moooost basic. So if they could each be in a 6x6 in box, and then 6 boxes stacked up, in rows of 8 boxes, 2 boxes deep, for blocks of 96 boxes per table. Then I'd need at least 10 tables. And I want 4 ft viewing space on all sides.

#text #life goals #life dreams #if i think about it any more deeply #there are so many little things I want to change up #that would definitely overcomplicate things #how unfair that i cannot just sims cheat code this into being #if i were rich i would simply hire someone to do the planning and the constructing #so that i could focus on the crocheting

simultaneously delighted that platonic love and relationships are being recognised in media and anxious that there are fewer obvious cues to read to indicate romance or the lack of such

#two characters who I thought had nothing romantic between them just said they broke each other's hearts #and my brain's throwing out error codes that are mostly just question marks #IT'S A STRUGGLE #romance is such a nebulously defined socially constructed thing as far as I can tell #and with those cues being challenged it feels a bit like putting up a tent without tent pegs #am I talking from the autism or the aromanticism here? always both? WHO KNOWS. #falderal speaks #I'm thrilled about this I am. and I'm extra thrilled if this is a ''messy relationships that don't neatly fit categories'' situation. #sure do hope no-one's expecting me to be able to reliably recognise romance going forward though

i know its unrealistic and nonsense to feel bad bc im not as good as i could be within a hobby bc a hobby is supposed to be fun and occupy your time but i cant for the life of me not feel guilty about not drawing and not improving

like.. i have most of the resources. i often have the time. i have almost a thousand pictures in my reference folder to be used to practice and learn. i have an internet connection to be inspired and learn from those better than me and yet... i just don't feel like drawing. and i mean drawing something grand.. not just the dozens of doodles and oc refsheets i keep churning.. i want to do standalone pieces like i used to and look at them fondly and feel proud of something. but i just dont have the flame to do it for months and months on end

i mean obviously this is much more likely to happen when it has been your primary hobby for over like 7 years contrary to, say, webpage coding which i just started to learn like a year ago. what's keeping me from wanting to draw though? its so frustrating to know you Have the Potential to be a good artist and knowing How you could become more but just.. not feeling like it. and telling urself im gonna draw tomorrow and tomorrow comes and its one of those days you'd rather stare at a wall the whole afternoon and it just keeps going and going and you stay stumped

#yes i have the potential to do so much better than what i can show you right now dude trust me #not only for personal reasons but i also want to start looking into doing commissions for real and like. #thats insane #idk what to draw > set up comms so someone gives me smn to draw > they dont know what i can draw > idk what to draw > repeat #im also like the guy that loves giving gift art but ive had so many cases where i drew for a rando and they just. treated it like a product #sold along the character like cool! so glad i spent my time into a drawing for you to throw it into your garage sale like everything else! #and that looming fucking awful sense of 'originality' like boohoo someone drew this already waaaa i dont believe in originality why do i > #> care so much. Why. its like knowing there isnt a monster under ur bed and still suffocating yourself inside the bedsheets. nonsense... #this is so tiring. not drawing to me feels like neglecting a dear friend #even though i dont feel bad at not practicing at a game. at not knowing how to code everything in 2 days #at not knowing the best clays to sculpt or the best knitting tricks. #bc its a fucking hobby. i should feel obligated to do it i should have fun when i want to and yet i chain myself to it #i shouldn't fell obligated* oop #could you imagine how crazy stupid it'd be that a construction worker felt bad for not building some lately #WHY AM I LIKE THIS!!! I DONT GET IT!!! #dextxt #<its always funny to end a post with a cry and then have it followed by lowercase txt tag like teehee just another white guy moment #but i do mean im tired and frustrated and miserable for nothing.. war and hate on planet earth or whatever. *explodes*

was rereading a fic i have bookmarked, that i’m quite fond of, and got tripped up by a passing characterization of a character’s scent as, among other more specific descriptors, “something undoubtedly male”—i know i’m unusually allergic to sweepingly stereotypical gender assertions, and i do in fact get the sort of sexiness descriptions like that are trying to reach for, but i really gotta say, i think it’s lazy unexamined shorthand and cheapens the writing

#like. i know my stereotypes. either that’s trying to sexify a kind of body odor it’s pretending women can’t have— #which is nonsense— #or it’s some kind of Perfume Stereotypes claim about‚ like‚ ~musk~ or tobacco or leather or whatever Traditionally Masc-Coded scent you like #either way i just feel like. if you want me to be constructing a vivid intimate visceral sense of this character’s‚ like‚ sillage— #write with the kind of vivid specificity i can base that kind of construction on #earthy? acrid? like. ‘show don’t tell’ is overused as writing advice but this is where it’s relevant imo #like my MOST generous read is that it sets up a contrast with the character’s eager receptivity but like. that’s homophobic actually‚ lol #like masculinity and bottoming/subbing are not in fact a contrast #so i’m rejecting that interpretation and returning to my original complaint #anyway. you’ve been listening to Complaint Interlude‚ here on WNKR

You know I’m sleepy when I announce I’m going to bed and then spend fifteen minutes talking about some little tiny thing that I deemed worthy of crafting a spur-of-the-moment lecture for

#tonight it was toys #and how kids expect them to ‘do stuff’ themselves #and the glow down of kinder eggs from a toy you would construct and make up a story for #to ‘scan this qr code and watch a video on the app’
