I feel like flute players should at least learn a reeded instrument. Just to humble themselves.

Intellectually I understand where people are coming from, but personally I do THE biggest double take every time someone boils down conservative Christian ideology (and/or secularized cultural reflections thereof) to a kind of dour puritanism that proclaims happiness is sin/suffering is a moral good/everyone should be miserable all the time. Like I get it! I do. But also, institutionally, I have never met a group of more passionate worshippers and vicious defenders of their own comfort than evangelical Christians. There is a reason the common thread between my various weird triggers more or less boils down to "toxic positivity." There is a REASON my exvangelical tag is #walking away from omelas.

#one of my biggest problems with half-cooked critiques of christianity tbqh #and fundamentally it's just the flip side of the same coin #to liberal christians going 'well republicans aren't REAL christians bc they flout the teachings of their own holy text' #religions are socially as well as ideologically constructed! 'real' christianity is christianity as it is really practiced! #valid critique WITHIN the faith perhaps but not that meaningful (and in fact kind of willfully dense imo) take on christianity as a whole. #likewise trying to pin the evils of institutional christianity on some fatal underlying theological flaw is getting the issue backwards #in much the same way that treating race as a biological reality as opposed to a social construct is getting things backwards #empires do not rob and murder and enslave because they are racist. #they do those things out of naked self interest and invent racism to justify themselves and prop up their power. #walking away from omelas #my posts

Okay but TSP/Portal crossover AU is such a cool concept, how have I never thought about that before?? I'd like to request Narra and GLaD hanging out watching their respective little guys go through tests like 'can you believe them they're so dumb <3'

Day 30 - They're absolute hellions

Bonus:

Noooo, my bucket!!

#My art #Requestober #Portal #The Stanley Parable #TSP #GLaDOS #The Narrator #Stanley #Chell #They're just all so antagonist towards others lol #I think Stanley is a terrible influence paired with just about anyone but honestly I think Chell would adopt him haha #She is also a chaos gremlin and enjoys taunting and flouting the ''rules'' - deservedly lol #It's hard to imagine GLaDOS or the Narrator just accepting that they've been dropped into a crossover haha #They're both so fixated on their respective protagonist that someone else is just strange! Odd!! Unwanted!! #And at least GLaD and Chell are at the homefield advantage - the boys are in a whole new environment! #The Narrator would freak the heck out lol - but if they got past the initial without everything combusting- #Well actually I can imagine GLaDOS getting fed up with Narra hogging the PA just to say what Stanley is/should be doing lol #''He is clearly ignoring you why do you bother'' ''It's my job! My duty!'' *explosion* Pfft #I do like the idea of GLaDOS referring to other people's test subjects by other lesser names #Something along the lines of I'm the only one who gets to call mine a test subject because I'm doing Real science haha #All these dynamics! How the two protags would react to each other and their respective voices reaction to each other and each's inverse #Too many to think about right now lol gimme a sleep or two on it haha #Although Portal/TSP crossovers have been around since they both existed concurrently ♪ Still they're fun to think about! #It is fun to imagine Stanley following behind Chell through the portals until he gets distracted #It becomes a bucket quest real fast lol - They poke around Rattman's bunker and Chell gets sad and Stanley ''helps'' with a distraction #Trimming GLaDOS down and doing a halfbody for Narra and then chibis for the rest - it's all about the right math right? Right lol #Only one more! Ahh!

The Yamada Family's Special Curry: Hypmic Curry Drama Track TL

Jiro: A curry battle huh…? They sure came up with a weird idea this time around…

Ichiro: I also think it’s a strange concept, but I still want to prove we’re the best. Will you two help me out?

Jiro & Saburo: Of course!!

Ichiro: Glad to hear it!

Saburo: We’re used to making curry so I think we should get started immediately!

Ichiro: Ah, about that… *places down a plate* I actually went ahead and made a prototype curry!

Saburo: As expected, Ichi-nii, you prepared something beforehand!

Ichiro: If we’re going to win over everyone, we can’t just use our usual curry. I was hoping you guys could help me perfect the ultimate curry!

Saburo: Then we’ll try the prototype so we can start ameliorating any flaws it may have!!

Jiro: A-Ameli…?? I don’t get what he just said but you can leave its flavour to me!!

Ichiro: Thanks, you two! Then, why don’t you go ahead and give it a taste?

Jiro & Saburo: Absolutely! *eats*

Jiro & Saburo: Mmm??

Jiro: This isn’t the flavour of our usual curry…! Did he really forget the most important part…??

Saburo: It’s greasy and tastes terrible…! I don’t want to say something Ichi-nii made is unpleasant but…!!

Ichiro: So how is it??

Jiro: I-I’ve never had anything like it before…

Saburo: W-what did you put in it?

Ichiro: *starts bringing out ingredients* So for the roux, I decided not to use anything you can buy from the store and made a completely original spice blend! I also used domestic A5 graded black beef and fatty mackerel!

Jiro: Yeah…?

Saburo: I see…

*phone rings*

Ichiro: Sorry, I gotta take this, it’s a work call. …Hello, how may I help you?

Jiro: *downs a glass of water* Hey Saburo, what did Nii-chan do to this curry??

Saburo: How am I supposed to know?? I can only assume he was so focused on beating the competition, failed to give it any rational thought.

Jiro: Damn it…! Even though Nii-chan’s usual curry is already the most delicious…!

Saburo: My thoughts exactly! He didn’t need to use these fancy ingredients, Ichi-nii’s curry is already exquisite…!

Jiro: We gotta bring Nii-chan back to his senses!

Saburo: As loathe as I am to work hand in hand with incompetence, there’s no other way…!

Ichiro: Sorry, guys, I’m back! So, what should I add to improve the curry?

Jiro & Saburo: *nods at each other*

Jiro: Aniki, I’ll give it to you straight. No matter what you add, this ain’t gonna be our curry!

Ichiro: What??

Jiro: I get where you’re coming from, but you shouldered this by yourself without even talking to us… Isn’t that messed up?

Saburo: I feel similarly to Jiro. If we’re going up against the other divisions, shouldn’t our bonds as brothers shine through?

Ichiro: Our bonds as brothers…?

Jiro & Saburo: And so, we should use our usual curry!

Ichiro: But, if we use our usual curry, wouldn’t you be able to tell the roux uses store bought curry and ingredients that were on sale? If we want to beat the others, then—

Jiro: But that’s what makes it our curry!

Saburo: Just like with our rap as the Buster Bros!!!, there wouldn’t be any point to winning if it’s not who we are!

Ichiro: You guys… *eats the curry* …Yeah, you’re right, this isn’t our curry. I understand what you mean!

Jiro & Saburo: …!!

Ichiro: Okay, let’s head out to the store to buy the stuff we usually use in our curry!

Jiro: Yeah! Once we hit up the shopping district, I’ll find the best bargain after a few rounds around the shops!

Saburo: According to my research, the type of roux that’s favoured across multiple age generations would be one that’s a bit sweet and hits the medium range in spiciness!

Ichiro: Thanks! I’m counting on you guys!

Saburo: Oh, there’s one more thing…

Jiro: What? We’re about to head out.

Saburo: No, it’s just, since we’re going to have to sell it, doesn’t that mean we need to come up with a name for our curry? I think the usual naming conventions revolve around the main ingredients used in the product.

Jiro: We got vegetables, fish, meat… If we go off of that, we’ve just got a variety curry.

Ichiro: We don’t even have to worry about that! No matter the ingredients, this is the “Yamada Family’s Special Curry”! And with it, the three of us will beat all the rest!!

"Ah. You've been reading a new book? But not one by Lady Deirdre Waggon, I'll wager."

"No, Because She Is Out Of Touch With Modern Thought. I Laugh With Scorn."

"Yes, I imagine you would do," said Moist thoughtfully. "And I expect Miss Dearheart gave you said book?"

"Yes. It Is Entitled Why Men Get Under Your Feet, By Releventia Flout," said Gladys earnestly.

And we start out with the best of intentions, thought Moist, find 'em out, dig 'em up, make 'em free. But we don't know what we're doing, or what we're doing it to.

"Gladys, the thing about books...well, the thing...I mean just because it's written down, you don't have to...that is to say, it doesn't mean it's...what I'm getting at is that every book is--"

He stopped. They believed in words. Words give them life. I can't tell her that we just throw them around like jugglers, we change their meaning to suit ourselves--

He patted Gladys on the shoulder. "Well, read them all and make up your own mind, eh?"

I love Lawful Good characters partly because they're standing their ground against narrative convention itself. The narrative trend, especially in any genres that include actual fighting against evil, is always to drift toward "The protagonists get special license because they're The Protagonists. They do know better than the rules, and when the rules get in their way they should get to go around them!"

and Lawful Good characters dig their heels in and say "NO. We WILL be following the rules and subjecting our actions to external oversight. We will NOT be taking shortcuts. NO ONE is exempt from authority, ESPECIALLY not the people who feel like they should be."

#this is of course why sam 'carries the law with him like a lamp' vimes is one of the MOST characters of all time #but it is also what gets me about a real lawful good character every time #either as a protagonist or as a foil to someone more chaotic #(brigadier my beloved. tsukauchi naomasa my beloved) #and it's also what i NEED more of in every formulaic crime/action show where they're part of an institution and they keep flouting its rule

Is U.S. football that distinctive as a focus for masculinity obsession? Soccer seems to have extreme masculine associations in every country where it's the predominant sport, to the point that women's soccer is treated as a joke (not that this is all that different from women's sports everywhere).

It may not be distinctively so compared to all sports in all countries, but it feels pretty distinctive in the US with respect to many other American sports. Although as an additional data point—most sports have a women’s league, even if it is overlooked and underfunded. Women’s American football teams are so rare as to be functionally nonexistent. That’s pretty weird! There’s women’s soccer, women’s baseball, even women’s hockey—but (as far as I know) basically no women’s football.

#also high school and university football programs #hoover up phenomenal amounts of cash #maybe men’s college basketball is the only thing that comes close #but it creates a super fucked up system #where ‘student athletes’ earn millions for their university #and don’t see a dime of it #and ncaa rules to protect players are routinely flouted #American sporting culture is just deeply fucked up

please tell me how can I be as funny as you

Lmao ok I will answer this one.

Step1.: Practise free talking in front of the mirror until you are comfortable with how you move your hands, your body, and your facial expressions.

Step2.: Become a Clown.

Bonus Step.: Listen to these artists = {"Bill Wurtz", "Tom Cardy", "Brian David Gilbert"}

If any of the videos from these artists make you laugh even once, you have good humour :)

#60 seconds till mission begins rambles #My comics are actually very predictable; they follow a mix of Aristotelian unities and Japanese 4Koma manga #as in there is always a ramp up; a high tension point; and a punchline #I subvert tropes a lot; as in I want to build stories where people think they know where things are going; and then I don't go there #Which is I think what jokes are? from a pragmatics point of view; that's what jokes are; when you willfully flout all conversation maxims

david oakes' performance as juan borgia will always be one of the best things i've ever seen because he didn't just read his lines; he delved into the character's head and soul, striving to understand what motivated his actions. juan is misguided but genuinely believes he is correct because he always had the family's best interests at heart. his character's core is that he is convinced that being a borgia sets him apart and makes him superior. he feels insecure due to rumors that he might be the son of his mother's husband, a commoner, rather than rodrigo's. consequently, he goes to great lengths to prove his legitimacy as a true borgia, as the family name represents status and security to him, but none of his actions have pleased his family; instead, they have resented him and pushed him away even more. therefore, he's in constant emotional pain because he is aware that others, including his family, mock him, and he feels inadequate and unworthy of his father's love. although he tries to provoke cesare back (when cesare provokes him first) by claiming to be their father's favorite son, deep down, he knows that rodrigo always confides in cesare and has even chosen him to follow in his footsteps. in juan's case, rodrigo consistently expresses his disappointment and reminds him that he is only part of the family at his discretion, with everything juan is and possesses can be taken away with a single word from rodrigo's. overall, i'll never get tired of praising david's brilliance in making juan a remarkable, nuanced character with so much depth and complexity <3
