i love duck and yellow guy sharing a brain cell in transport. from a writing standpoint its probably to make red guy seem more isolated but i think it is very cute

THEY HAVE THEIR BUDDY MOMENTS SOMETIMES AND WHENEVER THEY DO I THINK ITS VERY SWEET AND FUNNY!!

Also yeah, that whole episode Red's just on a totally different wavelength than the other two. I hate it bc he gets scary but I like it bc then we get moments of my fave duo being stupid together and also about wicker.

#again they all have such an interesting dynamic #both as a trio.. as different POVs in the trio AND in different duos within the group #their relationships to each other are not the same all the way round in anything other than theyre friends and i LOOOOVE that writing wise #im a real dynamics girl!! i LOVE the fact that the way red treats duck is different than the way he treats yellow #and that each of those two have different perspectives on HIM #aooough its so so fun its so sweet #the only thing they have in common is that theyre all friends loooool #my dhmis postings

Are you planning on doing a third and fourth place round? I feel like that would be very interesting to pit the two non aids related art pieces against each other whilst the finalists compete?

Thank you for running this whole thing, it's been really fun and I'm sure a lot of work from your end! 🎉

I was going to skip doing a third place poll since I thought the answer would be self evident, and in my heart absolutely everything else is third place, but I'll run a one-day poll between Can't Help Myself and Two Earthlings to end at about the same time as the final.

#art that fucks you up tournament #announcement #questions and answers #i know a one day poll isn't IDEAL but i'm so burnt out i've been getting to things two days late. like this ask for example #and i think them ending at the same time would feel better than the third stretching an entire week or half week after the finals are done #i'm also going to run a joke poll after the finals come in of 'Which piece do you think suffered most from its Round 1 matchup' #just because i want to see the answers and think the results would be funny #mod salix

spent weeks psyching myself up to stand up to my mum and then immediately got shot down by her 😃👍

#vent incoming i apologise in advance for the long tags #we've lived together just the two of us since dec 2021 (although her boyfriend is here like 2/3 of the time as well) #and since i got my job in march 2022 i have been paying half of all the bills (literally down to like tv license when i barely watch the tv) #which is £300 a month #plus i buy all my own food + pay for the amazon prime she uses + contribute to various household things like toilet roll etc #and she doesn't have a mortgage so i am paying the same amount as her to live in her house #(and it is very much her house not our house) #and I've never been very happy with any of that but never complained either #but then recently it turned out she never set up the water bill when we moved in (it's one of the only bills i didn't sort for us) #so we have a huge backdated bill from dec 2021 and i knew she was going to tell me to pay half #so for the past month or so I've been preparing myself for this conversation and sure enough today she came and said 'we owe £700' #so i was like 'oh i thought maybe it would've been covered by my £300/month' which is the biggest stand I've been able to work myself up to #and she immediately started going on about how i live here too and use water too so it's just as much my responsibility to pay #and how when we're both earning i should be paying my share and i was like yeah i know that's why i never complained about paying before #but also i already pay more than most people would to live with their parents #and she went off about how actually most people charge their grown up kids rent on top of the bills so really i'm lucky i don't have to #(when she got the original £300 figure it was actually rounded up from like £240 to include 'rent' but i wasn't gonna bring that up now) #and in conclusion she doesn't see why she should be subsidising my bills #like i don't know maybe because you're my MOTHER and i am your CHILD who is just starting out in the adult world #and maybe that entitles me to being treated better than some lodger???!!!!! #anyway i paid the bill and now i'm trying and failing at not crying at my desk 😃 #talking

There are places where I think a sex scene can dramatically impact a story in a way that enriched the viewing experience and conveys important information. There are movies and/or tv shows in which this happens. I haven’t seen any of them. So much of the time it’s there to do exactly what it says on the tin. A woman and a man are banging. Sure. Fine. Happy for them. It’s just a literal scene used to pull a bit of a ‘well you didn’t think THEY would be involved’ plot twist or a ‘we’re so edgy’ signal. The only show so far that I’ve seen that uses sex scenes as an actual tool of storytelling is Black Sails, and the reason it works in Black Sails is that the sex is Bad. People are bored. People are distracted. The characters are so bound up with the plot that it’s physically prevented them from fucking like normal human beings. That works. The rest doesn’t

#kelsey rambles #don’t ask what prompted this post because it would lead to me being institutionalized #but I do think sex scenes have a lot of untapped potential for just. character information. that doesn’t get used #like the anne/jack scene. it communicates so well that the intimacy between these two comes from trust and not the other way around #anne isn’t attracted to jack as a person and jack is neither here nor there on anne as a romantic interest #he pursues her out of a sense of ‘well she’s a woman and that’s how this works’. she semi-sort-of-dates him because it’s all the same to her #she’s never wanted a guy so why wouldn’t she consider a platonic bond to be just the normal thing for screwing around #Jack isn’t paying attention to Anne because he’s thinking about money. #Anne is bickering with him like they’re a pair of muppet clowns #it’s so very awkward and unsexy. it’s not even charged enough to be embarrassing #they may as well be clipping each other’s toenails for all the raw desire there is(n’t) in the scene #and it works! these are two characters who have an intimacy so far from romantic that the writers describe it as twin-like #they misinterpret it as desire because they’re plank-thick pirates. it’s not toxic it’s just kind of square peg round hole #(hah hah). good scene. shows should try having good scenes more often

#i just came back to a mix that i thought sounded Okay™ and it turns out it's super round and tight and nasty #it's so so difficult to get the sound stage to sound right with vocaloid and i have no idea why #is it just ? ? ? garageband ? ? ? ? #why is it that my only two choices are #'everything is on the same very narrow center channel and has mad interference as a result which sounds So Bad' #or 'everything is weirdly round and pulled tight around the head and has no room to breathe' #how do i make things sound wide #like even when i'm using exclusively my Widening™ plugins that spread things out as much as possible it's still #very round and tight #agony befalls me on this night and i wish it the cruelest of fates for ruining me so

#fighting for my life here #I wish my office space was less open so I could put rest my head on the table in despondence and frustration #without being in full view of anyone walking by #it's fine it's fine I'm just being a drama queen #anyway. already went back and forth with the authors about a change and then after the thing was posted online my supervisor read it #for some reason #and came back like this is wrong you need to fix it #girl I made that edit in the first round and they made me change it back #and nothing says anything that definitive on it so I felt like I didn't have a leg to stand on #so I'm like oh ok do you have a reference I can use for that #she gives me the same one I already looked at that IS NOT ACTUALLY DEFINITIVE #anyway back to the poor beleaguered typesetter I have to bug with this AGAIN #and that's just one thing #my team is still behind on everything and I have already witnessed two miscommunications this morning

when technically you and other fans agree on a character's mental health in general premise but they only ever get written with the more sympathetic traits of whatever diagnosis... not hate and hell but like. mild dislike and faintly irritating purgatory on the planet earth

#vic talks #there's also the thing of 'I decided this character has x mental illness so i'm going to write them like they're undertaking a personal #challenge to carefully check off the symptoms in the dsm' #which isn't the same but is also irritating as hell wait no purgatory #BONUS ROUND when a character actually gets diagnosed in fic and the author clearly read a psychology today article and took it as gospel #there's a fic where a character gets diagnosed w/ASPD #(which was so stupid i looked up the dsm to confirm that yeah even if you go off the dsm He Does Not Fucking Have That PD) #and they're like. going 'it's so hard to live with a sociopath you two should get counseling too :(' to his besties #WHO ARE BOTH MURDERERS... WITH GLARING UNLOVELY TRAUMA ISSUES... #and assigned-aspd-bc-he-likes-to-fight boy is literally like. the Cute/Annoying Little Brother of the group #this is possibly the silliest time to apply your 'surviving a cluster b loved one oh god it's so horrible' bullshit #that you found by reading an article entitled 'can a sociopath improve through therapy?' or smth #anyway. this has been bitchin' and complainin' hour with vic i'll see you next week

[ct-hardcase]

also also while those fandom history masterposts are cool and useful I'm kind of glad we're beyond the era of people reblogging those every week because every rando would need to add on their mile-long two cents and this was before long posts were auto-shortened

#I feel conflicted bc I do feel more well-rounded for having read it but good god it became annoying at times #so yeah two confessions #1) I do use the auto long-post filter. I'm usually on mobile and don't need to get hit with the color of the sky #and 2) the thing that actually caused me to finally block the 'long post' tag was seeing that same post about the strikethrough #for the 3000th time

[skitskatdacat63]

Yayyyyyyyy finally working on my pinned post :D having fun :D

Its funny to me cause I'll do these super organizational things for fandom purposes and genuinely have fun with it, but then would rather die than be even remotely organizational for school

#theres two wolves inside of me: #meticulously tagging my tumblr and photo gallery(this is one example) #vs: all of my school papers no matter the class are just shoved into my backpack all together #my parents are always like why cant you put this focus into school #dont you understand that my blorbos arent there :< #anyways one day ill actually post my pinned post #its that kinda thing where i cant stop adding to it and itll never be perfect so it just sits on my draft #but atm im going through and making a directory for all my race gifposts #looking at 2005 in January is crazy bcs wow i really did do 9 races in a week #its sooooooo satisfying to have 2005 be completely finished #itll be cool to (hopefully) see the other seasons begin to rack up while 2023 is slower #as ive mentioned a bit still a little wild for me to be at the same place at both 2009 and 2023 #ngl....imola being canceled is satisfying for me bcs it means Monaco is in its rightful place as Round Six #id have to check but like...in most seasons in the past 2 decades monaco is generally the 6th #so that it lines up makes me happy bcs consistency is key!! #tho I wonder if ill watch several races before 2023 monaco hmm probably! #ah anyways having fun looking through these older posts bcs tumblr's tagging system sometimes sucks #like you know when you look up your own post on your own blog and it doesnt show up???? bugs me sm #catie.rambling.txt

i can't sleep and i want to fight youtube

#been seeing posts abt them targeting adblockers and now specifically firefox users #and i ended up thinking about and going down the mental rabbit hole of how they've obfuscated info over time #like back when they added ads to yt they used to show where they were in the video timeline w a lil yellow thing #and it was only one ad. that you could immediately skip if you wanted #over time they made it so you had to wait to skip. and then they made some ads unskippable #and then they made it two ads. i swear at one point i had seen Three but that was shortlived or i may be mistaken #but i never realized when it happenee but they did at some point remove those ad indicators. now they just #they just Happen. and a lot of the time they're placed in breaks in the video but not always #but that's not the problem. the problem is they used to give us that heads-up that ads were coming #and now they Don't. they just appear and we Have to watch them at least a little bit #its like the same shit with the dislike bar. that was incredibly relevant information that just got Axed one day #its info that they have and they had provided it for you before but now they decided hey. :> its not important #when it really fucking is actually #i got particularly incensed yesterday when trying to watch a video where theyre playing a card game #the rounds are really short and last like a minute each. and in between each round they would play ads #i only know this because my phone does not have an adblocker #i don't like it much in general but that was a truly egregious experience and i legit could not watch it. i stopped entirely #THIS is precisely why i use an adblocker and that is what youtube wants to push onto you #it makes me really mad just remembering what once was and how it's gotten so bastardized at this point #fuck google tbh the only thing i condone of theirs is gmail and drive #and its a shame that they have such a monopoly on internet video hosting that there is no alternative anyway #mrah im tired and angry

Hey everyone! Round 3 is fully out now. I've decided I'm not going to stagger the remaining polls in order to simplify things and speed things up, at least for the final polls, since we only have three more!

I'll post the next two polls once the final Round 3 poll has closed.

#announcement #well technically i'm planning on posting the one from the first two at 8 am that day and then the second one at 9 #so technically 1 hour before the final round 3 poll but like same thing you know

When I wasn't distracted by Chinese? mobile gacha game Alchemy Stars today, I got a bunch of the Dengeki PS pages cleaned. ~30 left plus the 7 I need to rescan, so I'll probably finish this tonight.

#textpost #This project is taking so long because it is the absolute most boring thing I've worked on for GG content so far rofl #Some of the articles are interesting but then there'll be like 12 pages in a row of fighting game inputs #bookended by reviews for games that time forgot or like 90s anime school girl butt #The new event mode in AlcStars right now (infernal lair) is SOOOOO FUNNNNN I hope they make it a permanent mode #It checks the same serotonin boxes in my brain that playing HOS does: BIG NUMBERS BIG DAMAGE BIG EXPLOSION #Revy and Gram (two of my favs) ABSOLUTELY DESTROOOOOYYYYY in this mode UGH it's like they were made for it #By like wave 6 Revy will have so many stacks that she'll be doing like 12k damage on a normal attack while everyone else is- #-still doing like 6k lol #Gram gets pretty nasty too but some of his stacks get converted to HP at the end of a round and his stacks are harder to get #so his damage buff from stacks isn't as impressive #But that's ok he has a giant gunsword and a giant... heart

NEVER give Edgar the ‘sinister glasses shine moment like in animes’ /pos

#fandomry rambles #i am so used to drawings of him as someone angry/done/tired/etc + huge loser that- #-i was not prepared to see him as ANIME lol xD #when glasses are round this effect is SEXY what have you done lol xd #also i think the worst thing i've heard in my life is that shou tuck3r looks like he could be- #-a child of edgar and my version of rom (since he has same downturned blue eyes kind as her. but also redhead in round glasses) #this is so cursed fdhdhsghds i just wish i could unsee it #i know only 2 people here know who shou is and one of them only knows from the memes but trust me it is very cursed #but yeah truly you can make any character look hot if you know WHAT to do #like i am pretty sure right angle at gehrman or seluvis and they suddenly are attractive OUTSIDE too not just inside #(seluvis bit is semi ironic in case you could not tell sfdjhsd he is pathetic narcissist but that's why we love him </3) #(all two of us lol)
