there's this fine line between "i'm doing this for myself" and "i want to cultivate skill and recognition" that i struggle with a lot as an artist. and it can make rejection tough to deal with.

but it's alright to feel a bit down sometimes, and it doesn't mean your progress is going anywhere.

#this is about art but it can also apply to any field or hobby or skill you might pursue tbh #avepharts #comic #artists on tumblr #<- first time using that tag actually #I KNOW THIS IS QUITE DIFFERENT TO WHAT I USUALLY POST. just a silly little strip i made to work through some emotions. #passion prospects

I’m honestly so tired of the “Jon Snow is an overrated swordsman” discourse (if we can even call it that). Every single time there’s a hot takesᵀᴹ discussion, at least ten people will talk about how Jon is super duper overrated and how he’s in reality bad or below average. It’s actually so funny how Jon’s swordsmanship skill is the only thing casuals (cough Reddit cough) will talk about considering the fact that he’s literally only had two serious fights in cannon; and no one ever mentions that he was a developing teenager fighting middle aged men with decades of experience. Like the vast majority of Jon stans dgaf about how good he swings his magic pointy stick. People talk about Jon’s skill as if we’re holding daily press conferences about how he solos The Mountain. Listen. WE DON’T CARE! Like I’m much more interested in theorizing about how he would do in a fist fight against Drogon. At this point, Jon has gone through the seemingly-overrated-to-now-severely-underrated pipeline. I’m annoyed.

#jon snow #asoiaf #as a rabid jon stan #I’ll say that his skill with a sword is like the least of my worries #don’t get me wrong I think he’s pretty good and I’ll always advocate for him #but people talk as if Jon stans are constantly hyping him up as Aemon the Dragonknight come again #99% of us do not give AF #we’re more concerned about his prospects of shagging satin #like leave us tf alone

I'm sorry but it always cracks me up how petty Ezra is for like the good first cycle he's "partners" with Cee. Like this man instantly fell in love with this random feral child, yes, but then he almost immediately proceeded to have beef with her. Like, their sass meter is on the same level and it may have backfired a little for him initially

#and he gets so *annoyed* over it too #its hilarious #like sorry the child who shot you in the arm isn't being cooperative and genial -- WHAT did you expect my guy #only *you* can shoot people and then having a charming conversation with them after #that is not a skill everyone has acquired much less this fifteen year old girl #its just so funny to me how petty he is #10/10 character #ezra prospect #cee prospect #ezra and cee #prospect #prospect 2018 #prospect movie

an english masters might be a good break from all the science and math you’ll be doing to prepare for the mcat! not that there’s such thing as too much science but it’s good to have a balance so your skills in writing and lit analysis don’t get rusty.

anon I was thinking the same thing!! I’ve read for pleasure my whole life, but life gets busy & it might be a good idea to rly involve myself in literature w a masters just to keep my life analysis skills sharp. these days whenever I read recreationally I literally tell myself it’ll help me on the cars section of the mcat 💀💀 that says everything about where my headspace is at I fear

#and it WILL #not to brag but I do cars passages every day & it has been coming so naturally to me probably bc I grew up reading #I don’t think my lit skills will dry up either way bc I’ve always been pretty good at English #so if I do pursue global affairs I won’t feel tooooo bad about choosing it over English lit I don’t think #but it’s a good option to have in my back pocket just in case #it’s also literally just such a fun prospect. something to think ab for sure #ask

Rick Conroy's Recent Rentals:

Romancing the Stone (1/2/3)

As a refresher, this is a shot from 4x02: Vecna's Curse. Robin, Max, Dustin and Steve are using the Family Video's database to look through the most recent rentals of all the Ricks in town as hints for which one Reefer Rick is, so that they can find his address to track down Eddie.

Unfortunately for them, the selection here for this specific Rick didn't give off 'reefer' vibes and so they moved onto the next one. Luckily for us, the Duffers are nerds and this could be important.

While there are several Rick's they skim through, this one in particular had me intrigued. And so I will be analyzing these films, as well as whether or not they could have been inspiration for s4 or whether they may even be predicting events still yet to happen in s5.

3. Romancing the Stone (1984)

The plot of Romancing the Stone revolves around an American Romance/Adventure novelist, Joan Wilder, who has to travel to Colombia to save her sister. While there, she gets stranded in the jungle, though 'luckily' she runs into an American exotic bird smuggler, Jack T. Colton, who has a lot of experience in said jungle and whose basically her only hope in finding and saving her sister.

What makes this movie probably the most interesting out of the three, is that it's directed by Rob Zemeckis. If you don't know, Zemeckis also directed Back to the Future (1985).

In fact, if you look close, you'll see an interesting parallel that makes my explanation for this analysis a whole lot easier to transition into.

Basically, Zemeckis revealed later in life that the success from his film Romancing the Stone was what allowed him to make Back to the Future in the first place.

And so this just makes this iconic Marty McFly outfit kind of hilarious when you realize it's actually paying homage to another character.

Which means that this....

Could also mean this...

Not only do the costumes check out in terms of us being able to potentially associate Will with this character Jack, but the actual context of the story also makes it hard not to.

Jack is framed as someone who has way more knowledge and experience within this jungle in comparison to the protagonist, Joan, whose only ever explored adventures in her writing, not in reality.

Remind you of anyone?

Basically, I think that the reference to this film could be hinting at Mike and Will in the upside down together.

We know there have been a lot of hints leading up to that potentially in s5, though right now we don't know what it will for sure look like (whose going first? Mike or Will?), it's very likely to happen in some shape or form.

I do think that this film could act as a simple reference just like Sixteen Candles, with the meaning linked to ST being easy to spot and point out, Ie. Jack/Joan represent Will/Mike.

The main thing in this film that I think is an undeniable parallel, is this mention of a treasure map that Joan is planning to use as ransom to get back her sister. This map is labeled in big block letters with 'El Corazon' AKA the heart.

I obviously don't think we're going to be dealing with any lost treasure in ST like we see in this film, just like I don't think all the Lord of the Rings homage means we're going to see Will destroy a ring.

We're talking about both basic and complex parallels here, happening with hundreds of films/series at once, at different levels, and how the Duffers manage to make all of that fit organically to create a unique story on its own.

We all know how the heart plays a big role in s4 and what is likely to follow in s5 (the painting!!!). I do think this homage could be quite simple, but it could also be deeper because, again I am not satisfied with simple, as some of you probably know by now.

I also want to try to come to a close with this little 3 part series, which is easy to do because in regards to Will's character, it does feel like a sort of arc that could definitely play out going into the final season:

Sixteen Candles --> birthdagate

Teen Wolf --> memorygate/twelvegate

Romancing the Stone --> apocalypse-byler

My working theory rn is that Will is going to be in danger right at the start of s5, which we already saw foreshadowed at the very end of s4. There is this unspoken understanding that Will's connection to Vecna could mean bad things to come for Will, maybe even that destroying Vecna once in for all could also affect (kill) Will.

It's likely there is going to be discussion about the option of using Will's connection to find Vecna, and everyone sort of predictably being against it, bc of that unspoken understanding this could end very badly for him. But it's also possible that Will would be willing to do what he has to, even if it means putting himself in danger, especially if it means saving everyone. And simultaneously it would make sense for him to leave out all the details about his connection to Vecna as it starts to get worse, all while conflict between him and El and Mike is coming to a head, where Vecna is showing him things that are bringing him to a really low point, ie. everyone forgot your birthday, your friends/family don't love you, yada yada.

Then I think something is going to happen that is going to cause Will to be separated from everyone again... However, I don't think this going to last for more than one-two episodes. And it's likely we would see what he's up to in that time. This would make it parallel to s1 to an extent, but not to the extreme that we never see Will during that time or that he's separated for the course of the entire season. Just enough that it feels like deja vu basically.

And yes I do think it's possible Will has time powers. Though I don't want to make any crazy claims... I'm going to.

Basically, I think that Vecna would greatly benefit from making Will feel like it was better that he was never found in the first place (I feel like my life started that day we found you in the woods). And so what he's doing by bringing Will to this low point of hopelessness, is whats going to lead Will to essentially reverse him being found after going missing... That could benefit Vecna greatly presumably. Could it possibly even have the capacity to act as a reset for him of sorts? Maybe. And also, couldn't Vecna play this up to Will as him being able to save everyone and let them be happy, without him, bc he's at a point where he's made himself believe that he deserves it (FUCKING CRYING JUST THINKING ABOUT IT)

And so time passes (A TIME JUMP). Maybe it takes us to the 5 year anniversary since Will's disappearance (1+ years of our Will stuck in the upside down)... But something isn't right, something is missing. Something's wrong. And I think that we would see the characters figuring it out fairly quickly after the time jump is presented to us (anniversary affect). I think Mike in particular could figure it out first even (along with Joyce and Jonathan, hence the s5 foreshadowing intended with this promo), making him a quick target of Vecna, also contributing to him joining Will in the upside down fairly early on, post time-jump (also post Mike's boyliker realization, but Will won't know that...).

This is just a theory! But it does have a lot of interesting things surrounding it that make it at least plausible to me.

First of all, it reminds me so much of s2 and the whole Zombie boy arc with Will. He was in the upside down for a week and got dubbed that nickname. And yet now it makes me wonder if that could have been hinting at something more prominent still to come related to Will and his arc (we know he has this tendency to predict things with his art...).

This also ties into the whole controversy surrounding Will using a gun in s5. There's been this talk forever, how it doesn't make sense for Will to ever use a gun bc that's not like his character at all, as he's been shown to be quite scared and so it doesn't make sense for him to suddenly be comfortable with using a gun in a high stress situation.

However, what makes this sort of ironic to me is the literal narrative principle, Chekgov's gun, which states that every element in a story must be necessary, and irrelevant elements should be removed. Alternatively-explained, suppose a writer features a gun in a story; if the writer features it, there must be a reason for it, such as it being fired sometime later in the plot.

Remind you of anyone?

This means that starting the story from the very beginning with Will knowing how to use a gun and trying to protect himself with it, but failing to do so, followed by four seasons of him being scared frozen in situations of confrontation... Means that the gun is bound to go off!

Will using a gun in s5 in this scenario would also be supported by Will going through quite a transformation after being in upside down circumstances for 1+ years...

Quite frankly, I don't think it make sense for Will to be this character that is known for freezing and being powerless the entire series, all the way up until the very end. It makes a lot more sense that this final time around, after seeing that for 4 straight seasons, we are going to see a big change in him, which tends to happen to people that go through traumatic experiences and yet still manage to adapt and survive.

Will after 1+ years in the upside down probably knows how to shoot a gun and probably is more sure of himself and less skitish than s1-4 Will.

Also, this provides a lot of character development that Noah gets to have the affordance of exploring as an actor. Like, let's give Noah some wiggle room here to show off what he's capable of for Will's character, which is so much! We know Noah jokes about wanting Will to suffer immensely because it's fun for him to play and act out, but more than anything it's also challenging in a good way. And this would really test the limits of Noah's abilities, which is why I do think it would be a wise choice narratively to make his characters evolution well rounded for the overall story.

Will going from what we expect him to always be like, to being something thats much the same in the important ways (he's still Will obviously), while also being different (see what i did there) as a result of him facing all of his fears in order to survive.

And it also makes the official battle in the end, of him finally facing Vecna off, alongside El and the party, that much more satisfying and believable as an outcome. Because by that point he will be ready, just like they'll all be ready after having finally come together despite everything.

This theory also reminds me a lot of Verse 3 in Time After Time, which is the only verse left out of the scene in 2x09 at the snowball....

There has been speculation these lyrics could be foreshadowing what's to come, and so it is interesing to think about this, with all these other theories related to Will's upcoming arc:

It's giving Sixteen Candles meets Teen Wolf meets Romancing the Stone (also Mike running out of time crumbs! go off I guess!!)

Also, I just like to think that this reference specifically to Romancing the Stone confirms not only apocalypse-byler, AND Will Byers with a gun but also ponytail-Mike in s5???..

Oh and maybe even the highly anticipated Murray & byler confrontation, bc why not...

AGAIN this is just a theory. Don't come at me! Make your own crack theories it's fun and we can all go crazy together!

Honestly I hope I'm wrong bc I would love to be surprised (I can't wait to be surprised regardless).

And yet that wont stop me from trying to figure it out with what they're willing to give us in the mean time!

Until next time (ST5 inspo board, here we come)!

hi, i just wanted to ask if you have any advice about looking for/getting a job in delhi as a fresh graduate with a social sciences degree (bachelor’s)

bbygirl I'm so sorry but uh I have no clue I got the job I have rn by pure luck and with a master's degree so. best bet would be to reach out to seniors from your own college and your family's social network. Then, if you have any experience from internships, or if you've presented research into bachelors, to look into more corporate/research roles. SS grads generally go for HR/PR/social media management etc. With research roles, look into profs from private unis such as ashoka, FLAME, APU, and research think tank and policy agencies (look them up on LinkedIn and again, your college network is your friend).

You'll definitely need to go to grad school to have long term prospects! MBA if you want to stick to corporate, and a research masters if you decide to continue in the non-profit/research field (most likely from abroad, except if you're from econ.) You can look into public policy programs, esp dev studies from TISS. Best of luck nonnie.

#asks #anonymous #this is late but I felt rlly bad but yea look into TISS progs! #AND GET QUANTITATIVE SKILLS AND DISPLAY THEM THRU RESEARCH OR INTERNSHIPS IN YOUR MASTERS PLEASE #research roles also expect you to have masters degrees in most cases #unless you're from Ashoka which like. has way better prospects than any public uni grad lol.

Ugh.

I've been pulled into more work from my old InterPol days recently than I have in a long time...

I haven't had to think about some of the shit I saw there in fucking ages, and I've never been more grateful that technically my status as an agent is tied into events that make it legally impossible to pull me all the way back in.

Because otherwise, well... You never really leave InterPol, and not having to go back was one of the best parts of that whole shitshow.

I loved the work, I felt like I was doing good, but... Well, I'm not glad for the memories recent events have brought to the surface...

My whole scientific career is technically just one big vacation, but I'm tired, man... I'll be staying home in Alola for a while, hopefully nothing exciting happens...

#pokeblogging #rotomblr #pokemon irl #pkmn irl #in character #idk- i feel like InterPol is running out of skilled new prospects... #i'm getting roped into sending unofficial messages for them at this point #so this is your reminder to donate to their operations gala at new years #their funding from the interregional treatises is good- but it could always be better
