SPOILERS FOR THANKS TO THEM (obviously)

hello i was reading this lovely post (by @lollytea) that gave a good breakdown of the writers intent behind this scene, and i thought to myself “gee, i love it all in concept, but i wonder if they could’ve executed it better by emphasizing all of the things hunter’s fighting for in the actual moment itself?”. then i remembered that i have the power of editing, and made this! complete with the cheesy white vignette toh likes to stick on flashback scenes that i love jgvhnfchgfc

#the owl house #toh #thanks to them spoilers #toh spoilers #hunter noceda #hunter toh #do...do i tag the others?? idk there's a fair few characters in this scene #anyway yeah this technically isn't like. seamless (ideally the clips wouldn't go over footage of bunter actually doing stuff- #-and would instead like. come between those bits but then i'd have to loop the soundtrack more than i'm confident doing jgvhgv) #i DID have to loop it a bit for the very last series of flashbacks and even though i think i pulled it off really well #it was a bit of a pain <3 #i noticed that earlier in the episode there's like. a whooshing sound? when luz thinks abt belos in hollow mind and we flashback #so i figured i'd keep that in as well #it was hard though cause so many scenes were right smack dab after each other and i didn't want the effect to be super noticeable #until the end at least #yeah #also s/o to magnus for telling me to add in hunters voiceline of ''i like who i am right now'' w/ an echo effect #inspired choice #undescribed #sorry about that again- i have no clue how to describe videos #if anyone wants to take a crack at it i'd be eternally grateful #this is also probably a terrible time to post this but i do not care. it is not my fault i am on gmt

A lot of wacky stuff happens in the later months of this game...I know the story! Of course!! I played it ages ago though, and so being a player of it - it almost strikes me as brand new (To be fair, I played p3p right before p3r was released, but I didn't end up getting very far)

A LOT gets thrown out and this isn't even close to being the end either. The characters still don't really have an idea of what's going to happen and it's already NOVEMBER.. the whole game takes place within a year's time and we're almost there and we still don't know anything. oh boy

#persona 3 reload spoilers #I'd feel that way if I were the protag too #so many questions about everything and nobody really has a clue of what's going on #but you still live on your daily lives #after all these.. huge events happen in life #but maybe that's how life is #I have to draw out my reviews of this game later #rn I just got so immersed in it and it's surreal #spoilers

MBS Humans as BIRDS Because I have been thinking about this for a bit and you can't stop me

Also, normally I would be factoring in sexual dimorphism for accuracy, but not today. We're not even worrying about size or anything today. Today it's all about aesthetics :)

#I just have too much of my brain files devoted to birds #I wanted to do the individual Ten Men but I couldn't quite figure out how #Maybe I will in a bit #This started because I was thinking about how much Number Two reminds me of a hummingbird #Because they are super fast and maneuverable and awesome #But that comes at the price of an insanely high metabolism and the need to eat every ten/fifteen minutes #Also I picked Secretary birds partially for their fantastic snake stomping skills #kākāpōs are flightless birds which I felt was a good fit for Mr. Benedict because of how open he is about his narcolepsy #I would have tried to choose another flightless bird for Curtain but I knew I'd get into a research spiral #There's a reason I restricted myself to just aesthetic matches :) #I don't have any clue why Sticky's a whippoorwill it just IMMEDIATELY came to me that that had to be his bird #SQ being a kestrel has many thematic details I think but I can't get into all of them right now #Anyways I'm going to stop now #I hope this wasn't too insane my brain decided to be stupid again sorry #the mysterious benedict society #mbs #reynie muldoon #sticky washington #kate wetherall #constance contraire #mr. benedict #nicholas benedict #number two #rhonda kazembe #milligan #milligan wetherall #miss perumal #dipika perumal #ld curtain #nathaniel benedict

i finally wrote an xword that i think might be nyt-submittable...i originally wrote it for the local paper though so i now have to go back through and rework the clues to take out the specific local ones and make some of the others harder. i know exactly which day of the week this would run in the nyt (if it gets accepted) because this type of theme always runs on the same day, so at least i know which clue difficulty to aim for, but i'm still finding it difficult to hit that precise level! i'm used to just making the clues as easy as possible because my local paper's audience is mostly people who aren't xword aficionados. i already reworked this puzzle a couple times based on feedback from friends and family but that was all still when i thought i'd be running it in my local paper. i kinda just want to be done with it but i've never had a theme and fill i thought were completely nyt-worthy before!

#i've been thinking that i would write a puzzle that was intended for the nyt from the beginning #but i never prioritize it because the local paper is actually expecting something from me and i have deadlines with them #so this might be the only way it ever actually happens #i feel kinda bad for the local paper that they don't even get my best work haha but also this theme would probably be too hard #for most of their audience (though let's face it probably all of my puzzles are too hard for various reasons) #aw shoot though i just reread the submission guidelines and they're specifically looking for themes OTHER THAN this type #hmmm #cruciverbs #i also wouldn't mind submitting this in collaboration with a more experienced constructor who could help me with the clues #and i imagine such people are always looking for greenhorn collaborators because it allows them to have >3 submissions #in the queue...but i don't even know how one goes about finding such people #if i submit it and they reject it no harm no foul EXCEPT that i don't know how long it would take them to get back to me #and if this isn't going to run in the nyt then i'd still like to run it in the local paper #but also maybe if they reject it they'll be like 'we don't want this but you seem to have promise so here's the email address of #one of our veteran constructors who would be willing to work with you on other ideas you may have' #i just made that up idk if they would actually do that haha but it seems plausible. and wouldn't it be nice? #i do have another nyt-specific idea that i've been spinning my wheels on for like two years #hmm hmm hmm. i think my best bet is still to rework these clues and submit it and see what happens #worst case scenario is they never get back to me. which is a distinct possibility given what happened with my #american xword puzzle tournament previous year solved puzzles (ie they never got back to me >:( ) #but that was will shortz. this is will shortz plus like 5 other people. he probably doesn't even see new submissions

Oh boy it's time time of the year again where due to [redacted] I rethink my entire fucking [redacted] and realize there is no proper outcome in this situation.

#tw vent #like i'm nocturnal by nature and I just can NOT do a daytime schedule #but it's been [redacted] #and honestly I don't know what to do about it or how to go about talking to her about it #I'm on an uncharted island and have no clue what the fuck to do #because even if I fix my sleep schedule it's only a few weeks until it goes right back to it's normal and nocturnal state #and the fucking sorrows and distance of all kinds start over again #in a never ending dharmic cycle that one can not break free from without true levels of suffering #I don't know what the fuck to do and all I know is sadness and suffering delight #vent post #i'd like to cry but even after being on E for a while that's still nearly impossible

I wanted to make a cleaner summary of last week's classes and also review the classes I have this week since the material is already uploaded beforehand but I was feeling so horrible throughout the day that when I sat down I was just gonna look at the ones for tomorrow but I think I'm just gonna go to bed because I just gave my little numbers game a few tries and not even the joy of tribial elementary school-level math games is bringing my brain cells and/or full sentience back

#diary #accessing it through the CMD thing and not just running it from the IDE made me realize a few things about it though so I'll hav #I'll have to maybe jot them down somewhere when I'd normally just be rly excited and try to fix them straight away like I am truly fucked r #I do wanna make an eng version of it sometime soon so I can share it even tho it's literally the simplest little thing. it's fun if you're #an easily amused nerd that loves playing with numbers in a truly useless manner. if that makes sense #also very obviously text-only I am NOT torturing myself with any graphics of ANY kind rn #it closes immediatly as they do and also when it comes to having double/triple digit starting numbers it becomes a lot less fun I think tho #though I haven't used it much with those yet #I still wanna figure out a way of making it better when it comes to 2/3 digit starters. and my original idea included maybe keeping track #keeping track of how many steps you took even between different rounds but I made the simplest version for now. I also think making like a #''this was the least amount of steps possible!'' type thing would be very very cool but that is FAR too big brained for me rn #cause I can figure out how to do the record keeping thing but that last one is like. let's stop talking for a little while................. #oh but adding an actual interface sounds so fun even though I have very little clue on how to do that rn I could probably STOP typing becau #because I can feel my stupid ass self start getting excited about this which will make it so I start working on it instead of going to bed #NO. DOWN !!!!!!!!!!!!!! auhgh............ oh man I had a lame joke to make but I completely forgot what it was #I have coding class tomorrow in which I normally just do the exercises as fast as possible before playing around but the only Python editor #I could find installed on the school computers was Visual Studio Code and I have no clue how to use that shit like I don't need so many #so many buttons. probz. OKAY GOODNIGHT

I like having joined a book fandom that's still new and fresh cause we get to nerdily bond as we devour a release of a new book in the series and I get to see all the theories and discussions and memes in real time as opposed to years later when everyone else knows how it ends so I have to block the fandom bc of spoilers. It's a feeling I haven't had since a teenager bc as of late I drag my ass into a fandom like a decade after its hayday and miss all the fun stuff

But it sucks ass that I am no longer as weirdly and eerily patient like I was as a child and the nine month wait for Heavenly Tyrant to come out is driving me crazy

#iron widow #no for real i would freak out adults with how calmly and quietly I'd be patiently waiting for something to happen #it's because of the psychotic bipolar making time go past me in hyper time and hours seemed like five minutes to me starting in fourth grade #literally at one point in fourth grade i got sick of time flying for a few weeks that during quiet reading time i just burst out asking #'is time going by really fast for anyone else this year?' no one had any fucking clue what i was talking about lmafo #having a very overactive imagination helped too because even if i was bored while being patient i could entertain myself in my head #i would and still do craft elaborate stories in my head that i have no hope in writing down skilfully #so I'm not very often bored even as an adult #but goddamn am i incredibly less patient now that I'm on an antipsycotic now lol rip #time slowed down and now i have to experience instead of blinking it away #which ngl did ease up my anxiety over dying some day because I'm no longer in a maglev heading towards mortality in a few hours #but i am ridiculously impatient now after spending two thirds of my life experiencing hypertime #trade offs

Sit with me about this part of hetafandom that's interested me (in a good way!) for years.

I am endlessly curious about this HetaOni Larp that seems to have taken place in Sweden(?) in early 2013... there are a few vlogs of it on Youtube from ten years ago from which you can sparse somewhat of a plot but from the looks of it, it seems like it was a horror-y larp (inspired by the fangame HetaOni obv) in which all the participants, except for the monsters & camera people were cosplaying hetalia characters and acting out the larp somewhat in-character.

It's been hella intriguing to me ever since I watched the vlogs from it many years ago, and it looks like it was a lot of fun, but I have so many questions on it. The vlogs only encompass the beginning/middle of the larp, which seems to have taken place all in one night. Some of em might be answered already if I had more knowledge on how larps are set up and run but I do not.

The whole larp looks like it takes place inside some sort of school/public building, with a large number of rooms and hallways, some of which are set up for the larp. What kind of building was it? How did they set it all up? It seems like it would have been difficult to run this kind of event at that kind of venue.

More interesting than that, there seems to be some kind of in game possession or mind control that affected certain characters and made them hostile, which then may have spread to more characters who were in contact with them or with the monsters? We only get so much explanation of this in the vlogs but it was quite spooky. There is a sequel larp (which I have admittedly watched less often) but I'm not sure how much that mechanic is explored in that one.

I am 100% reading far too much into all of this lol I'm sure at its core it was a fun lil larp hosted by some friends who wanted to rp together and have a blast scaring the shit out of each other, and who did their best to record it. The vlogs definitely brought me lots of entertainment when I found em in middle school & even now after it seems that everyone in it has since moved on from hetalia.

#there are a few hetaLARPs recorded on Youtube which all look like fun I'm jealous #my second big question is why tf were so many hetalia cosplay groups on Youtube from Sweden #hetalia #hetalia fandom #if you were in this larp n wanna tell about what it was or how it was or w/e go for it #you can find the vlogs I'm talking about at CrimsonHourCosplay on Youtube #if I had a damn clue about how to run a larp or more than 1-2 ppl in the area that also cosplayed hetalia I'd try one mself #alas #I feel like I've never met anyone else whose heard of these vlogs which is a travesty #top tier 2013 content

Consistent clothing sizes: an utopia 😑

#about feyna #feyna speaks #clothing sizes #shopping for a dress for my sister's wedding has been a nightmare so far #I mean shopping is a nightmare in general #but another thing that drives me crazy is that I never know which size I should look/ask for lmao #and it was at physical shops #I have no idea of how people can shop online because nothing makes sense #oh and some brands very helpfully offer their sizes charts only as 'xs' 's' etc and their conversions in italian and uk sizes #which as the pictures above show means nothing #like yeah great your xs is a 38 #but *which* 38?? I still don't know if it's going to fit or not with this info #(tbh I still wouldn't know bc my proportions aren't exactly like the 'regular' ones) #(especially the ones from the first chart) #(the second one is actually closer in terms of proportions) #(which is *another* clue pointing out how made-up these measures are) #(tbh I'd still probably have to try stuff on to see if it fits right) #but ANYWAY #a bit of consistency would be welcome

i've still been feeling bad about things not working out with the sad neighbor lady with the busted leg, even though SHE was the one who 180ed and pushed me away, but then i start thinking about all the shitty little -isms (mostly race) she said, some of which i confronted in the moment & some that i picked my battles over given the circumstances, and then i feel less bad :)
