#other people's hubris

[scribefindegil]

Hi! I would like to share my latest crafting hubris with you! Thanks for introducing “crafting hubris” into my vocabulary bc that’s definitely where I’m at here lol

I’m embroidering these shorts all over in sashiko! It started off sooooo slow but I have the technique down finally. I think they’re gonna come out rad!

Wishing you the best! <3

YOOOOOOO THAT'S SO COOL!!!! They look beautiful!! Also omg do you have to mark out all the grid lines in chalk? That must take so long and be so exacting! They look amazing!!!

All right so I haven't been active in the Julie and the Phantoms fandom in a long time, and although I know there are definitely still people creating and reblogging in the fandom it tends to be a much smaller handful of people than it used to, which for me felt disheartening and was part of why I've backed off from it. I'd love to see new stuff more regularly and start recirculating older things just to remind myself and anyone else who needs it how much I love this silly little show.

All this to say, I am putting out feelers to see if anyone is interested in a blog that runs consistent, casual event-type things for the fandom to try and revitalize interest in jatp fanworks, like featured weeks for individual characters here, fic rec events, etc. I'm toying with ideas to inspire people to pick up their wips, spark new stories, and highlight older content that didn’t get much attention or would just be nice to see again. I’d like to create a community space to liven the fandom back up for people who miss the show or got into the fandom after the hype died down. Does that seem interesting to anyone?

#julie and the phantoms #jatp #I'm filled with both hubris and resolve and I feel like. with other people modding the blog as well. this would be doable #i already have a LOT of ideas about wip events to get stories written that have been sitting untouched i know i'm not the only one w/h thos #so i guess if that sounds good to you interact with this in some way? and if you're interested in being involved/have ideas #please share! if it's just me on a reblog spree it won't work but if we all pitch in to talk to each other #(and i know. if you know me you know i'm not always great at that. but having a Format for it makes me good at it so)

Is there already a 2 hour video essay breaking down a bajillion Frankenstein movies chronologically in order of release (not just the Universal ones) focusing on the characterization of The Creature or am I gonna have to make one myself

#frankenstein #the modern prometheus #classic literature #classic horror #no but really am i gonna have to bite the bullet on this one #there have got to be other people as insane as me who have watched as many frankenstein movies as they could get their hands on #circus of hubris-ridden Victorian british men

nhfjsdfjnh- rewatching movie clips- and i'm not gonna lie-

steven, i LOVE you, but

"as much as i've looooved dismantling the empire and saving all your planets" is the absolute most FULL of it possible way you could've ever stated this concept

it's probably for the best he stepped the fuck away and didn't "take" the throne as white and the others wanted him to, i really don't think he needed the ego boost

#not tagging this bc i know there's people out there who will twist my words lol #but i find it Fascinating how full of himself steven can be sometimes #like Yeah no he Did In Fact save gemkind from themselves #but Damn m'guy you really gotta go and Say it like that? dangle it in front of everyone? lknbfhjddg #be humble- jeebus lol #jen rambles #anyways i am once again stating it- i love steven but steven is Flawed just as all of these characters are flawed #and his greatest vices are definitely feeling like he has to always be in control #and getting carried away with himself- both in his theatrics and in the way he interacts with others #and here he is TBH getting carried away with a small dose of hubris #juicy i lov me a protag with a dose of hubris

I strongly agree that there are world events that deserve much more news coverage and resources than the Titan because frankly it should’ve been immediately assumed they were dead when sonar couldn’t find them and communication was lost.

However, I don’t necessarily think it’s fair to compare the EU coast guard and the US and Canada's various first response teams that responded to the Titan. Because they’re separate entities.

Do I think people should care more about the refugee ship that capsized due to alleged incompetence of the coast guard? Yes. I do. And I hope more survivors can be found because that was a genuine tragedy.

Do I think that it should be getting the same kind of attention as the Titan? Not really. Because people are just memeing on the Titan, and the average tumblr user has around $0.20 to their name and maybe 400 followers so this isn’t a very good platform for getting meaningful help for those affected by that situation.

This isn’t even a “you can care about two things at once” situation, because again with the Titan you should be very amused by 4/5 of those deaths whereas there’s nothing funny about what happened to that fishing ship. These are very different niches in cultural awareness and your ire should be towards media companies over random people on social media.

#Idk it just feels like getting mad at someone for posting spongebob memes instead of signal boosting that a genocide is occurring #like sure if someone genuinely thinks the Titan is more tragic just because it’s rich white people then yeah #please do clown away #but it’s just a bit weird to act like people don’t have compassion for the migrants who died just because they’re mocking rich folk for dyi #guy who intentionally removed any and all safety features getting crushed into paste instantly by his own hubris #is objectively funny and I will continue laughing at Stockton rush until I die #especially since he talked up how safe it was and then named it after the titanic only for it to share the same fate #perfect set up and punchline #genuine R.I.P. to the innocent guy on board but the others were absolute morons to do it to begin with #The contract you had to allegedly sign to go on the trip? Absurd #it wouldn’t have been a good view even if successful #and it was disrespectful to make a mass grave into a tourist attraction #so I’ll toast to the death of Stockton rush and his idiotic name forever

and if i said that everything people prophesied would happen if the doctor and rose stayed together actually happened after they were separated what then

#the doctor was much more of a threat after he lost rose #and rose was the least rose like we ever saw her in s4. a strange woman wandering around a different world #i simply do not think that rtd did hubris well in this era generally but especially the torchwood elements #but if there is meta people want to link me to demonstrate otherwise i am happy to read it #but like…they did make each other better and they never stopped helping others together #they were delusionally devoted to one another and the universe was kind of their playground #and sometimes commentary on timepetals being a hubris ship comes across to me as #people not liking the doctor having fun #doctor who #timepetals

day 263

tween hyperfixation X teen-adult special interest combo

#day 263 #year 3 #aradia megido #homestuck #corpse bride #look im not the first person and i wont be the last to think about aradia corpse bride au #HOWEVER. i HAVE been rotating it in my brain since i was 14 #and im 25 now so i figured it was time to do art about it #especially for the spooky season #obvious other casting is sollux victor and feferi victoria i think thats what i see the most often #and def what popped into my head first #idk who lord barkis would- Nevermind i think vriska would be funniest #she is going around marrying rich people for their money and killing them. the trope is literally The Black Widow #she kills aradia but also aradia gets to threaten her with a sword and then she is ultimately destroyed by her own hubris #its vriska all the way down babey

important to understand that my approach to oc design and characterization depends explicitly on how i'm playing that specific game, like. a thing you should know about ilya is that he is the kind of person who will dive into the middle of a large pull ahead of the tank and pop all of his mitigation while screaming because i get distracted and do that. constantly.

... it's the siren's call of the big aoe damage noises, ok.

#mostly im thinking about these things because they're the easy things to think about #i am. very. very. bad. at like deeplore dives lmao #so bad!!!!!!! i'm here for the emotional complexity do Not ask me where this man lives i don't know #... i do know. #once it starts branching out into history and family lore and godforbid fucking cultural lore i am just #so dumb. i'm so dumb i was not designed for worldbuilding even if it's just the world of one weird little guy #v invested in other people's sandboxes because mine is very small and it's also just full of rocks. #anyway. #my partner: BABY MOOOOOOOOODE #me: it's okay my heal is up it'll be FINE #also increasingly play casters like melee dps so everybody gets to suffer that as well #ilya standing directly under a very large guy in his stupid leylines like MANAWARD'S UP IT'S FINE #.... i dont play blm as much now honestly because to contribute i have to be less stupid. and that's not fun. #i really. REALLY enjoy the big melee dps damage noises #they're across the board better than caster noises. so disappointing because in my heart i am On Fire #sam+pal noises are the best noises in the game #SPINNING #i'm thinking too hard about backstories and it's not going well lmao #grabbing this creature by the shoulders and shaking him violently like WHO ARE YOOOOOOOU #concussed probably his brain is just sloshing around in there #babg mode blogging #this is also why he's canonically A Guy Who Touches Things He Shouldn't #because i'm that guy. #i'm the guy who touches things. #this explains sehren also like she would not be who she is if i didnt play dragona age with wild hubris and abandon #.... it wasnt fun unless i was wildly underleveled in places i didnt belong ok #every if mc ive gotten invested in also

[zooweemama143]

last rb had me thinking of how lame bif would actually be as a person

#as ive mentioned i dont think he has a personality if that makes sense 😭 #like youd be able to tell that he TRIES hard to have some kind of identity but he kind of… fails? #like he kind of wants to be known for something beyond his money but at the same time he also still bears the hubris of his family's wealth #hes maybe like those rich kids who insist that theyre talented beyond their money but one look at him and youre like. nah lmfao #for what its worth i think he genuinely is a talented boxer which is why his other persona other than Rich Boy is Undisputed Champion #which is probably also why he takes his loss to jimmy hard #what i also find interesting is the common fandom consensus that bif likes things like hip hop and rap #which are things you dont often associate with white preppy boys (for lack of better wording) #do u think he started branching out to 'less convential' interests bc hes aware he doesnt have any identity outside of being rich #on that i feel like hed also desire to be known as someone beyond derbys lapdog…? #like i dont think hes blindly loyal to derby actually. i feel like theres potential for resent here #since derby and bif are both very prideful people #this just turned into rambling as per usual if u read all of this god bless u #bif taylor #derby harrington #(ment) #bully cce #bully scholarship edition

did someone say crafting hubris

this is my EPP quilt project made from hexis I assigned numbers to, and I use dice rolls to put each row together

I started it on a road trip last July/August and it’s been growing since then

WOW!!! I love it!! That's such a fun concept!! Also it's HUGE!! That must have taken a truly absurd amount of hexes!

#conversations #other people's hubris #thank you for showing me your projectssss i love to see them!!! #english paper piecing

[jessicas-pi]

my toxic trait is putting the same amount of insanely overthought hidden references into time heals as dave filoni puts into his star wars projects, somehow forgetting that there's no way my readers will be putting in that same amount of effort to figure out my clues as the fandom does to dave's hints

#it's funny because on the one hand half the time i'm like 'oh my goodness do people actually read my fics? why? i am but a Lowly Author!' #and the other half of the time i'm like 'ok where's MY enormous fandom dedicated to overanalyzing everything?!?!' #this mix of humility and hubris is probably gonna get me in trouble one day lol #the time heals 'verse

[melandrops]

can someone explain to me why we hate jurgen leitner so much

#yeah yeah he fucked jon and gerry and countless other people up because of his hubris #lets talk about the parallels instead #how his thirst for knowledge and quest for control led to his downfall #do none of you see the symbolism #jurgen is if jon had gone unchecked #if jon had allowed the desire for knowledge and understanding to consume him #yeah jurgen hurt and sometimes killed people because of it #but so did jon #did jon not also fuck people up and traumatize them #how many more people could jon have hurt #without the influence of the people around him #its just #idk #its fun to bash on jurgen leitner #but no ody wants to talk about the literary themes 😔 #tma #the magnus archives #jurgen leitner #jonathan sims

[dontmixpaintinyourcoffee]

I recently found The Glass Scientists and made a friend who is a Gothic Horror enthusiast so yes I am currently embroiled in endless thoughts of deranged Victorian men making poor decisions. What about it

#memes #frankenstein #there have got to be other people as insane as me who have watched as many frankenstein movies as they could get their hands on #gothic horror #the glass scientists #jekyll and hyde #circus of hubris-ridden victorian british men

[novantinuum]

self care is unfollowing people who spread negativity on ur dash!! like Damn! yeah i theoretically Agree with your crit but i really Don't wanna see it either bc i want to Celebrate content instead of hyperfixating on the stuff i didn't like about it! yeet!!!

#jen rambles #i had someone call a SU fic i wrote once a 'fix it' and i'm just like #NO!!! #it was Not a fix it! #because a fix it would assume that i think i am Better and More Smart than the creators and that is hubris i really don't want #to take upon myself #i just like!! taking the elements i like and writing More of it! #that's all #i also feel like there's lots of people who just crumple when things in fiction aren't coherently explained #but i've always seen those holes as Opportunities? #idk like on one hand is leaving holes in your narrative bad writing? likely #but also the very soul of fan creation has Always been stepping alongside canon and re-imagining it #and oft filling those holes #and i just wish more people would join me in doing so in good faith to the source material #instead of doing it in that sort of 'ughhh so like since canon fucking sucks i'm fixing it :)' way #one day i'll prob Myself talk about the issues i had with the plotting of This Thing and you'll see tons of overlap with what #others are saying about it #but like idk. just why make that your sole focus? doesn't that bum other people out too? #like it kind of breaks my heart seeing people so fixated on the imperfections that they can't even enjoy what Was #i just don't get this mindset

[todaysgenderistherevengecrew]

Tumblr seems to be divided on this so no clue how this will be perceived but you all realize we don't like billionaires becsuse of the lack of humanity it takes to become a billionaire right? And then can you also realize that jt takes an OBSENE lack of humanity to then celebrate the death of real life people (one of them a fucking 19 year old) in one of the most horrific ways possible. Please?

#oceangate #fuck billionaires but oh my god #the commentary on their hubris (which i think needs to be had) should not be celebrating their deaths #its disgusting #i get it. if this happened when i was like 16 im not sure i would have this percpective bht theyre people #corrupt people but the day we decide to stop caring about others on a very basic its bad theyre dying a horrible desth way is the day #we lose our humanity in my eyes
