#i got awards!

[inbabylontheywept]

I started writing short stories near the end of my senior year of college. Between finishing my senior project early and just having a much lower classload than previous years, I finally had enough breathing room to do things for fun.

I don't think I'd realized how bad the college burnout was until then. Honestly, I've been out of college for a little under 2 years now, and I'd say it's only recently that I've been able to enjoy all the things I used to. Before I graduated, it had been nearly three years since I read a book. I only really started reading again around eight or nine months ago.

Anyway: Those early short stories were published on r/HFY. They had a scifi theme, and as someone who had spent most of their adult life learning about science, I really appreciated that. I also liked the hopefulness of the stories.

The r/HFY subreddit has a yearly awards ceremony, but it lags the stories behind by a year. So the 2024 ceremony was explicitly written for stories in 2022, which is the year I started writing.

The subreddit got 18,000 and change submissions that year. 55 total nominations were chosen.

I was chosen twice. Once for Healing+Lightning=Wizard Launcher and again for Burning Bridges.

I don't know how to handle emotions this big, but I am so fucking proud of my work. Thank you all for reading it.

French TV journalist having a hard time trying to get woman in the street to comment on Macron's latest speech yesterday

Protesters organised casserolades (aka banging on pots and pans) in front of city halls across the country at 8pm, when Macron was speaking, to symbolically drown out his voice. Later that evening, Macron was filmed singing a song with some 'random people' in a street in Paris, trying to show he can go out and meet people and have fun because protesters don't exist. The people he was singing with (members of a choir, some of whom are 'alt-right-leaning') were using a folk song app created by far-right activists that was criticised a few months ago for hosting a Spanish fascist anthem & Third Reich military marches.

The government's response was that the President "couldn't know the background of the people he met that night." Maybe if he wants to avoid being associated with the far-right (that's a big if, I know), Macron should keep in mind that with the kinds of strategies and positioning his government has adopted lately, people in the street who welcome him with open arms and are proud to be filmed with him have a higher than average likelihood of supporting fascism.

#genre hier darmanin qui dit qu'il faut sanctionner les gens au RSA et aujourd'hui le maire pour qui fraudeur = maghrébin... #also the far-right ppl who made that song lyric app got 40K€ of public funding from the ministry of culture #our government is 'questioning' public funding for the human rights league but not this #so yeah this is just 1 thing out of the avalanche of bullshit the government keeps unleashing these days #i could have made a post about the minister of the interior; a known rapist; saying #that french people are angry about the reform but ''they swallowed it'' #that was yesterday; this week is going well so far #cool thing that happened last week is that the film director who won the césar des lycéens award #made a speech in the presence of the minister of education in which he said #''it must be hard to be minister of education for a president whose words and actions reflect the opposite #of the values school is supposed to teach the youth: contempt rather than respect; dictating rather than dialoguing'' (etc) #also last week when macron went to notre-dame and of course forbade protests in the area #so protesters hopped on a boat and protested on the seine next to notre-dame #frpol

so fobcore to be up for two awards they deserve to win, lose both of them, not even show up to the awards show But dress up in silly outfits for their prerecorded performance. would expect nothing less from the band of all time tbh

#can i go on a more serious ramble in the tags #lets go for a more serious ramble in the tags #fob exist in such a weird space in the scene and pop culture like they are literally one of the most popular bands on earth #yet are constantly snubbed and not considered and not included and are always the underdogs in everything #they have influenced pop culture so much and yet are never recognized for it #and i think it’s a space theyre very comfortable being in like. they are loved and recognized by people who truly get them and mostly #ignored by those who dont and those who dont are. the majority of the music scene #but idk it’s just so interesting to me how they can be so popular and beloved and influential yet such underdogs all at once #and that is who they always have been and who they always will be but idk. sometimes i wish they got recognized a lot more #bc they deserve it. they might be happy occupying the space they do but. give them some fucking awards please JFKDNF #txt #p: 100

the most insane thing this year to me is that Tears of the Kingdom came out and was the only thing anyone could talk about and play for months. it was an engineering marvel and made all of us try to figure out how the fuck the programmers did it all. we made giant mechs and could fly across the map. you could glue shit together and hit stuff with it. the goat man was sexy. the world was huge and had three whole layers and a hundred hours of gameplay easy. it was slated to be regarded as one of the best games of all time and sold 18.5 million copies.

and it wasn't game of the year. it barely won anything. and all because of that cunty vampire.

#tears of the kingdom #totk #botw #legend of zelda #loz #loz totk #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #astarion #ive pointed this out to several people as the game awards and whatnot were happening #and half the people i talked to FORGOT...... ABOUT TOTK........ #THEY FORGOT IT WAS THIS YEAR. IT'S ONLY 7 MONTHS OLD #don't get me wrong it's very refreshing that a smaller and much more niche studio got the recognition and attention it deserved #it's just absolutely crazy that it swept across the board DESPITE a major and VERY successful zelda release #to the point where people FORGOT!!!!!!!!! #mine

I don't know if it was my type of humor or maybe the cultural differences, but the presenter in the Golden Globes tonight was so unfunny. His monologue was boring and basically just pointing out who was in the room.

Reducing the impact Barbie had this year, to the physical attributes of a plastic doll. For real??

The joke about scientifics getting laid, like, that could had been funny in the 80s, now is just stupid.

Not to mention the attempt to joke about who Taylor Swift was dating, so original!!!

#jo koy #Sorry if it sounds mean #But I enjoy sitting with some handcraft Hobbie and listen the awards shows #And this one was boring #No wonder he got hired 10 days ago #golden globes #Golden Globes 2014 #Barbie #taylor swift #oppenheimer

Nyaha~! Caught in my electroweb! ♡

#pokemon #iono #nanjamo #bellibolt #pokemon sv #aquanutart #iono gives me this vibe of 'i've sold my soul to chasing love and attention from thousands of strangers who will never know me' #but with an edge of self-awareness and i like that #i love hyper over-the-top performer personalities! i think she genuinely enjoys performing in her cutesy persona #and i definitely think it's a huge part of herself that she enjoys expressing but she has another side too #that worries about numbers and holding people's interest and getting the attention and validation she wants #she's an in-universe internet content creator! she's got a gig and she is WORKING it!! #i swear she makes me hear death by glamour #ALSO SHE HAS A FROG!!! i have no choice but to stan #btw you get a bilingual bonus if you can read this (and i get a weeb award for using romaji and katakana in the same picture) #how else though can i convey to english audiences that she uses boku (i love it) #her catchphrase 'your eyeballs are mine' does kinda creep me out though #i find it less creepy in japanese which is just 'your eyeballs (are acted on by) electric net' but that may be because i understand it less #i don't know japanese well enough to guess exactly what it's implying rofl

As someone who is a survivor of many abuses Astarion made me feel cathartic and seen. He became one of my ultimate comfort characters because I see myself through him. He made me realized what I've felt was valid and I shouldn't blame myself for going through a lot of trauma because it wasn't my fault. He made me really inspired on how to handle my own trauma.

Stephen Rooney and Neil Newbon did an incredible job for making this character feel alive and relatable to anyone who experienced the same.

#astarion #astarion ancunin #baldur's gate #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #larian studios #stephen rooney #neil newbon #pat rambles #i was touched by neil's speech at golden joysticks awards :') they deserve all the awards that they got #i've been through a lot of shit this year and bg3 made me feel alive again
