#correct me if I'm wrong of course

[uncanny-tranny]

Something I think ought to be more readily-available and encouraged is simply... taking parental classes. I wish it were more common for people to realize just how hard - and important - parenting is, and indeed, that we all could use help with taking care of young folk. It's really alarming that popular opinion is still that parental classes are only for the "fuck-up" parents, or the parents who utterly failed. It should be seen as a good thing to take parental classes - especially on your own volition. It should be seen as imperative for one to take them, it should be a free, accurate, and scheduled occurrence so that people of any background are able to attend.

#politics #parenting #i might have posted something like this before but who knows. certainly not me (the blogger) #of course some cities and states in the USA for instance will have programs like this but it's not.. across the board from what i understand #my city has a few free parenting classes for really any parent and i am really happy to hear that #my dad talks about the classes he took and most of them are geared toward fathers (the classes he takes). i think that's a great thing #i wish that was more common when i was a kid. when i'm older you bet i'm taking advantage of parenting classes <3 #even if i have no children i won't be child-free unless i live in isolation. i want to treat them well #i would be devastated if a kid were to have a horrible experience around me because i was an asshole or i was uncompassionate or ignorant #the overall message i got as a kid was that parenting classes were a punishment for the fuck-up parents and THAT is fucked up to me #the idea that parenting is simultaneously natural AND that you're Always Correct and Never Wrong is dangerous at best #like i bet my abuser thought they were a good adult to me and that i was just a fucked-up *child*

improv is fucking insane sometimes because remember how early in the stream the bomb squad was on bad's property and discovered the warp plate to ramon's house. and then later bad had to use that exact fucking warp plate to get to ramon's. that's a textbook fucking chekov's gun setup and payoff and TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THIS IS UNSCRIPTED.

people on that post (that I 100% agree with) being like 'If Belgians can't be racist then what about King Leopold II?' and like I get it - King Leopold II colonized Congo from 1885 to 1908. And sure that's a valid thing to bring up but it doesn't change the fact that Belgium is still a white European country today - a country that is racist now.

Over half of black people in Belgium have experienced racism when looking for housing or employment in the last 5 years - and this is only for black people of African decent (as stated in the article)

At the very least, Larian Studios is unknowingly negligent when it comes to creating characters of color (which I doubt) but at most they are willfully ignorant of 1. how they handle characters of color and 2. the harmful stereotypes they added to their game.

#💖.em #i'm not an expert of course because i'm white but i am belgian #and there are more present day examples you can use instead of King Leopold II #also correct me if i'm wrong with any of this ofc

To be honest I never really understood the "Eichi started the war because he liked Wataru and couldn't be normal about it" thing because like??????????????? What's the war going to do about that?????? What is Eichi getting out of antagonising Wataru and his only friends to the public and almost working himself into an early grave???? How would Eichis relationship with Wataru benefit from holding public executions for half of the eccentrics and turning them into scapegoats and actively declaring his unit as an "enemy" of theirs???? In what world would that be a successful courting ritual I mean I understand Eichi can be extra and Wataru is the definition of the word but genuinely how does that entire train of thought make sense???? Eichi is a lot of things but he's not stupid. The man has the common sense to not do All Of That just for the sake of getting closer to one individual in a way that would never ever work on anyone with some semblance of common sense. The Tomoya Sanctuary incident happened because Eichi was jealous and couldn't be normal aboout it.

And not even to mention how, if the aforementioned was the case, that would also never have worked with Wataru because the reason Wataru was so in on his role was because he knew it was serving a greater purpose. He's not the type to go along with a plan like that simply to satisfy some other guys strange ways of showing his admiration via turning the object of his affections and aforementioneds friends into social outcasts. He's not the type. And neither is Eichi.

That entire train of thought would make absolutely no sense if taken beyond the "haha funny joke" stage

#I mean of course I am aware it really is just a joke for the funsies #and I understand that but it's just I never really understood where it came from cause #Like???? #correct me if I'm wrong here god knows I'm not up to the proper ways of how romance works #but that does not seem to be it #it also does Eichi a massive disservice because it would imply he's a selfish entitled brat who sees no problem with doing #ALL of that #just so he could? What? #What would he gain from this? #He wouldn't gain anything from this #why would you go through all of that trouble if it doesn't even serve a purpose #that's not how that works you don't just do things on such a scale if they don't serve a greater good #I'm really just trying to understand how one would come to the conclusion Eichi started the war because he liked Wataru I just. #don't understand how that would add up....I suppose #wataei

So I was checking and translating LMK character's Chinese names (as any normal person does) and I noticed something interesting.

Azure's Chinese name is 青毛獅, which yeah, seems to translate as Azure Lion. Well, most translators gave me Blue Fur(red) Lion, but close enough.

The thing is... his name uses the word 青 (Romanised as Qīng). As far as I have understood, it's an old word for a colour that can be translated anywhere from blue to green, even black. Some site even described it as "the colour of the nature".

And to commit the ultimate sin and quote Wikipedia:

"It (Qīng) was used for the roof tiles and ornate interior of the Temple of Heaven and in other structures to represent heaven. It is also the color of most jade"

So (if I got this right), you could technically translate Azure's name as Jade Cloured Lion.

And since (again apparently) this is the name Azure has in JttW the book... This is either one heck of a coincidence, I'm doing a huge mistranslation from a language I don't know at all OR this is the reason why they (the creators of the show) chose to make Azure the new Jade Emperor.

(Fun side fact. There is at least one another character in Chinese literature named after colour 青. Namely 青蛇 aka Qīngshé aka Xiaoqing aka Green Snake aka the sworn-sister/handmaiden of Madame White Snake.)

#lmk azure lion #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #look #just saying #if I had a character who has a beef with the King #And that character has a name that allutes to the said King's title/name #I would make them the next King #no questions asked #Of course I'm probably wrong #people who actually know chinese #be free to correct me as rudely as you wish #sf rambles #lmk

Man I can't wait until I can recover alone for a while

#I was alone in my apartment today and put together a standing clotheshanger shoerack combo #and it was actually so nice to do stuff and NOT receive verbal feedback I didn't ask for #I actually HATE when I start to do things wrong and immediately there's an audible no no no #it makes me feel like I Have to be on top of things and do them right immediately so everyone can be silent to me about it #trying to navigate life without triggering an unskippable cutscene as it were #if I do it on my own I will find out I'm going about it the wrong way soon enough #and I'll correct it #no nitpicking needed just using my time and brain to find a solution #it makes me feel so much better about myself #I'm already starting to see why I've always felt so incapable and inadequate. I can tell I really need this #I'm really curious what else I can do now that I'm allowed to figure it out in silence #more than ever reaffirmed that auditory is my quickest sense to wear me out/overstimulate #which is why reveiving verbal feedback I have to interpret makes me want to fly into a rage sometimes #because I NEVER get enough time to figure it out. they see me not change my course of action immediately and they take it out of my hands #it feels so. crowded and like nothing is in my control #give me time. give me space to breathe. let me make a mistake and understand firsthand why it's a mistake #please please please stop narrating everything to me. please. can we be quiet for a while. #you can sit with me but please don't tell me anything. #bien rambles

i respect that i've been out of the swing of things for a while but personally. i don't think we talk enough about the hallucinogenic dathomirian swamp plants. as a fandom

#i mean PLEASE correct me if i'm wrong. #(of course i'm thinking about maul but like. this knowledge is a broader gift than that)

I was wondering what the other boys (or Olli and Aleksi themselves) think about the whole Olli/Aleksi thing (I mean people shipping them) 🤔 as I’m sure they know about it and I was going through a tiktok account who makes edits about them and according to the owner Joel has liked s lot of them 😄

sorry for such a boring answer but tbh I don't think they think much of it 😄 as in it's not something they often acknowledge/think about 🤷‍♀️ if they do, they might think it's funny, and any of them liking edits and such might just be them wanting to be supportive of the fans creating harmless but well-made content :')

but of course we can also imagine a headcanon of the others teasing Olli and Aleksi about it, not really understanding that the reason they always blush is not because it's embarrassing and annoying, but because they actually do (secretly) like each other! 😭

#i'm not on tiktok so idk what the kids there are shipping #but i'd still say that joel/aleksi and joonas/niko are much bigger/more shipped ships than olli/aleksi 🤔 #(you can correct me if i'm wrong though!) #(even if i may not be terribly interested in tiktok/wattpad stats 😅) #so i'm not sure to what extent either of them know they are being shipped with each other #of course there are those who tag the guys in shippy posts so avoiding such content must be difficult i guess #so i assume they all have at least some sort of understanding of who of them are being shipped with who of them 🤣 #anon asks #ollixallu #answered asks

Hm. Perhaps I'm tearing up at the thought of Cam and Pal hearing constant love and receiving constant affection from their Friend Who Is Also Their Dead Friend (kind of)

#I love you Camilla/Palamedes! #:D love you too kiddo #Pyrrha too of course but I don't think she knew Harrow or Gideon??? Correct me if I'm wrong #Oh no now I'm thinking about the first time they heard it #The first time they heard that casual #Do you think whoever was piloting switched gears and asked her to repeat it so the other could hear? #Do you think they talked about it afterwards-- about how they felt? #ugh. I'm just hurting myself here. #Meanwhile Pyrrha was probably like #nona the ninth #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #the locked tomb #the locked tomb series #pyrrha dve #camilla hect #palamedes sextus

Re: Re: Dune. If you're at all curious to understand the core premise and essence of what Dune is about and what context is missing from the movie without going though 180k words of only the first book, I suggest watching Matthew Colville Dune videos on YT. It's 3 videos, 12, 16 and 30 minutes each. But even the first one "Part One: The Planetologist" will make it plain what kind of essential direction was missing from Denis' film. There's so much depth to mine in that story and yet what we got was as superficial as it gets. Again, if you are in any way curious. I know you're not the biggest sci-fi person. But it will make the criticism of Denis' version by the book fans more clear and less like the baseless whining of some other fans of some other adapted books.

"I know you're not the biggest sci-fi person"

*my literal entire writing career that is based fully on sci-fi/genre scripts staring at this sentence like we're in The Office*

#In the last two years alone I've sold three sci-fi shows and two sci-fi films to studios 🫣 #I'm hopefully directing another big sci-fi film I wrote later this year/early next year. #It's literally my specialty #everyone is always telling writers like 'dont pigeon hole yourself' meanwhile im over here like PIGEON HOLE ME PLEASE #because its the only thing i GENUINELY enjoy writing like i truly get a kick out of writing sci-fi #WHERE DID I GO WRONG THAT ANY OF YOU WOULD THINK I DON'T LIKE SCI-FI?! I obviously need to course correct lol. #ill try to check those things out when i emotionally recover from anyone thinking me and sci-fi arent one symbiotic blob lol #tbh i didnt even know there were other people out there who didnt like dune so i have no clue what the criticism is #when it came out i truly ONLY saw the most sycophantic praise from all corners so i thought it was just me sitting here thinking youre cray #which happens often so i didnt find it that weird #glad to know i wasnt #rants #anonymous #answers #dvilleneuve #hollywood

I'm not into sports so maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't the Foxes jersey numbers be a mess? How does it go from 1 to 10 so perfectly (rip Seth)?

I've wondered about this for a long time and still don't know the answer, but that's because I pretend it was fate a coincidence and the proof that the og Foxes were the perfect team.

#There are 3 possibilities #1) it has a really deep and meaningful answer #2) it was a mistake #3)i don't know anything about sports #I guess my main question is how come the monsters jersey numbers are lower tban the upperclassmen's #They joined later #And kevin still got his N2 #I guess it's technically possible if the older foxes (older than seth) graduated in that order and #The ones before them did too #But doesn't that at least make it unlikely and exceptional? #Actually now that i think about it #Andrew's question at the beginning of tfc whether neil believed in fate or not makes a lot of sense now #Because of course he noticed #Even if i'm wrong about the whole thing #This is my hc now #It's even implied in canon #In my eyes at least #But feel free to correct me anyway #Aftg
