dacre @ stranger con, chicago (9th oct 22)

#'he was constantly trying to push through and break the mould of his father' dacre i need u to know that i owe u my life #gifs #m #dacremontgomeryedit #dacre montgomery #billy hargrove #camaro 67 #something so fucking tragic and sad about the way that so many people believe that the only reason billy could redeem himself is by dying #like.............................................................my brother in christ......if he lived.....and he got to experience life #without neil...................... like if he got to breath some fresh fucking air without his father constantly just. existing. right there #sometimes out of sight but never out of mind....... then my GOD the way he couldve clawed and pieced together a life for himself #a family for himself in him and max #just like. a new beginning #but like. no. #his only redeeming quality was if he fully got himself killed just so the kids could live #wait this isnt me coming for dacre and what hes saying here its me coming for ppl that are like #'actually the only good thing billy done was die. and he deserved it.' #hate that crowd #like its just fucking tragic that ppl that are going though this and suffering constantly at the hands of ppl they should be loved by #are seeing people be like 'well the only way you can make up for the fact that ur a Piece of Work is if you #fucking sacrifice yourself for a Good and Palatable Victim. die bitch.' #but i do get what hes tryin to say here!!!!!!!!!!! i get u dacre!!!!!

Goodness, jttw will never run out of different ways the story can be expanded. I don’t know if there are any other books like this. I think something that helps is that there’s no ip law and religious people are more relaxed (I mean when Chinese take creative liberties, it gets iffy when it’s non-Chinese).

Xiyouji has been going on strong for nearly 100 years of media! It truly is a work of art that embodies the human spirit and can be adapted and relatable to any generation to any person. Not matter where you are from or how old you are there is always going to be something so human and so touching in Xiyouji that just captures people for years to come.

Here's to another 100 years of Xiyouji media!!

The closest thing I can think of to another book or franchise that is this widely known could be like Shakespeare but that sadly has been teetering in the past few years. I kinda miss the modern adaptions of Shakespearian plays. And they don't even have games so another disadvantage.

It helps that Xiyouji mostly cameos Daoist and Buddhist figures in its story, hence while it does have a lot of religious messages and is a religious pilgrimage leads to a lot of fantastical worldbuilding and a great way for both patheons to be included. The only other story I can think of that has that kind of storytelling in like Dante's Inferno which while it is well-known certainly doesn't have that much of a media presence.

#anon ask #anonymous #anon #jttw #journey to the west #xiyouji #ask #this story can be a comedy or romance or adventure #but it does keep to the lore and worldbuilding around it #you can def tell when any media no matter the genre is still made with love and care #like good example is chinese odyssey like that is a nearly completely different story all together but because it just masters the human #story of xiyouji and of sun wukong that any person who experiences love and lost and the feeling of unable to change your fate can relate #and 1996! that is nearly completely different as well but it captures the characters so WONDERFULLY and there is so much cares that the #audience just falls in love with the series and characters because it feels like not a monster of a week but rather how four individuals #come to love and understand each other through their own character arcs and facing the worst parts of themselves #a story doesn't need to be 100% accurate to be beloved but it does need that care and respect to their characters that people have loved fo #so many years and as long as the characters no matter how silly they could be portrayed or how serious are at their core 'humane' so that #any audience can relate then that is what makes this story still able to feel fresh and new every single time #It will never get old because the story of self-discovery and connecting to other people through hardships will never get old either

the universe does Not want me to find a therapist its almost like she wants me to **** ******

okay we have officially entered the Winter Break Is Driving Me Mad zone

#djhahdjhkashdash i have sat still as in not moving as in not going anywhere as in Still for too long #but it's too cold and dark to run around or go somewhere #and everyone is conspiring against me (there is someone in every single room so i am effectively cornered) #i was not built for this i feel like i'm going to explode they should release me into the wild so that i can experience freedom before #my untimely death by nature's hand but it will be oh so beautiful it will be yuri too btw #at least during the summer i can go to parks and walk through the forests or go in the caves or something but i can do nothing #during the cold dark winter #i am trapped in this tiny house with these people and i cannot leave i am going stir-crazy and it has been exactly 5 days since #school has officially ended #mayhaps i shall test if the rock climbing gym is open during winter break #we have one at my school and technically i get free access but i never go in bc i know too many gym rats and i hate seeing ppl i know #in different locations #but damn rock climbing sounds good rn #[insert google search] noooo they're closed on the weekends for winter break noooooooo #and their hours suck noooooo #u know what i may just say fuck it and go to a park or smth we have a hilly one that i bet no-one will be at bc it's fucking cold #i am going to go mad staying here i am going to be sick #where are the beautiful trees and fresh air and sunshine where did it all go why am i stuck in this house #i have no room to move all i can do is wait for the main room to be vacated so i can have space to dance but this is not enough #i need to climb something i need to be given more space to do something but noooooo #u know what i will unbecome nocturnal just to go places during the day #i will go to the sad cold riverside park and i will run from whatever geese are still around. maybe i'll bring a dog #if i do not i am going to scratch up these walls and YES they are yellow but they are not wallpaper it is paint. if u even care

As someone who definitely doesn't count as an A/B/O enjoyer it's still super interesting to me just how much influence it has over wider fandom and fanfiction. Like as soon as you're "in the know" it's just absolutely everywhere.

#full disclosure: my only experience is like a very funny light-hearted 40 minute intro to ABO video essay by ColeyDoesStuff + 1 fic #and like personally I don't think I'll ever *get* the whole nesting and scenting and like massive personality changes because ~biology~ #buT like! god! it explains so much!!! of fandom!! and fanfiction!?!? #like everyone is playing a game of fanfiction telephone #there are loads of ABO readers that dont *write* abo picking out phrases and character interactions and putting them into 'normal' fics #which is. i am completely and utterly certain. how we get the scent thing. #this has genuinely baffled me for years and had left me wondering if I genuinely just have an awful sense if smell #not just the the ''he smells like sandalwood and coffee and something uniquely him'' thing. sure. sure. maybe its cologne #but like. where someone smells their friends or siblings and its like citrus and paper and fresh cotton and rain and youre like HUH?! #I literally could not tell you what any of my friends smell like. genuinely I do not know. #my mum wears a perfume? sometimes? but thats it. like. ??? idk its so bizarre to me that in some fics everyone has a unique smell #and like !!!! now it makes sense!!!!!! #ALSO #the dom sub dynamics that are just. so overpowering to the point of erasing the characters personalities #like the whole existence of 'deep subspace' #where a previously headstrong characher now wants nothing more than to follow the commands of their alpha *ehem* i mean dom #like its wiLd like its MAD! like there are sO many little *things* that you suddenly notice and youre like OHHHH IT MAKES SENSE NOW!!!!!!!! #this is absolutely not an 'omg abo is cringe' post btw like its not for me but this is more about the baffled awe i have for its influence #I didn't understand it!! #but now i sortof do! #insanely funny that it all started because of some jensen ackles x whatshisface rpf like thats a madness. thats so funny to me. #anyway. my sense of smell isn't amazing but I'm glad that in the 10 years since I started reading fanfiction I've solved this mystery 😂 #oh also the fic i read was actually really stellar in terms of characterisation. I actually really did enjoy it #its called an elegant mechanism and its a KimChay if anyone does actually want to read it! its stellar #it's one if those where the abo elements are so intricately woven into the story that you won't *want* to remove them #even as a boring ass abo hater I'm like damn that shit DOES add to the plot #its fun

Made stir fry for dinner and it fucks unfathomably hard

#I am generally a decent but not incredible cook #but I'm sorry. I make fucking bomb-ass stir fry #I've done it so many many times it's like second nature #and every time I do it again after missing a couple weeks it's like my taste buds are being born again #not in a christian way. in an unfathomably good new experience way #anyway the key is fresh veggies and a lot of ginger #she's so good #stir fry powerful enough that I cannot fight the urge to tell someone about it #hence this post

FUN FACT it's actually possible to create content about a person who has passed without peppering said content with tons of "r.i.p." and ending dates and consistent reminders that the person is no longer with us

#RIP #this is my hill #it fucks me up a WHOLE lot to constantly see #like yes. i miss them too. whether i knew them before or not. #but. fuck. i want to celebrate and enjoy what they did while they WERE here y'know? #their LIFE #maybe it's because i still have fresh grief in my life idk but it really fucks me up so bad #it's a BIG part of why i got so emotionally fucked up when i got into kiss and eric carr #there are many other examples but thats the one that seems to have hit me hardest at just the wrong time #i'm not saying to just pretend what happens didnt happen #but like. some balance would be great. #i'd like to watch a 2 minute interview clip without it ending with a freeze frame on a person with text over it and the dates #like fuck right OFF you think he'd want you dwelling on that? #i dont love these people because they died #i love them for who they were and are in life #that's the shit that's eternal #this isnt even touching on the way these people are also infantilized and reduced to being sweet little angel beans without a personality #i'm just. upset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #yes i had a negative youtube experience at 8:30am and it's setting the tone for me for today #i'm just so fucking tired of the obsession with death and martyring those who havepassed #when they were whole ass people with 3 dimensional personalities #and who did a lot of cool fucking stuff #yet so many people just casually (possibly unconsciously) focus on the most negative aspect #one that usually has no bearing on the person themselves #god im SORRY im just in a mood and im upset and i have EMOTIONS #usually it makes me sad af but today its making me angry

the most recognized as comedic song being the best part of the movie musical because the conventions that serve as a mode of communicating ideas, for example "people just bursting into song" or "choreography" or "'noticeably stylized' cinematography" that accentuates nonliteral nonrealism-invoking choices, are regarded as Silly or Frivolous. and the effort to shove everything else that's more "serious" into what is expected to be read as dramatic cinema that's not stylized in any ways that seem too "Genre" which only makes [but someone's singing?] underwhelming and out of place because no other elements are supporting it

#that plenty of Thee Establishment most concerned w/the commercial angle of musical theatre is also like ''musicals? is silly'' #or rather is forever defensive about this. all the musicals you know tonys will be comfortable with b/c they're gently ''edgily'' Serious.. #that old deh interview where p&p are like ''haha eugh we're not writing MUSICAL numbers musical numbers X'D this is serious this is real'' #deh as a living room play....like don't get me wrong. all Critiques / dunks on deh the stage musical even deh the movie...are not the same #all mine are better and wiser. but actually really for example like ''ben platt old?? he hair a joke??'' are criticisms i reject lol #wait a second does anyone in the Stage Musical ever do any more dancey choreography than they do in sincerely me....probably not #remembering the great times of that jared goldsmith interview where they were telling him to walk less dancily in ywbf lmao #taking some chassés across the stage....finally looked up if ''sashay'' is just a misheard + phonetic ''chassé'' & yes #anyways and just connect this all to the broader issue of Any ''genre(tm)'' understood as like. Unserious. style that is so unartistic.... #insert joe iconis talking about it. basically that if some Noticed ''unusual'' style usage is taken seriously it's presumed ''self aware'' #such that it may be like; parody of; commentary on; homage to whatever Conventions.... #like is a movie too associated with women as creators or audiences? some style choices that might seem to have some odd effect or w/e is #then just like wow guess this isn't good enough to be an experience i can completely intellectually disengage with as viewer.... #whereas if it's Not ''''gendered'''' so associated enough w/men as creators & audience (not much room for ''&/or'' there) then like #oh that perhaps somewhat awkward noticeable Style Usage? that was innovative; fresh; if it's funny it's ''clever'' rather than comedic #Don't Even Get Me Started on comedy also being an unserious ''easy'' too-Genre(tm) lesser style / way to communicate ideas #but i'm already started! it's right in the premise! ppl not even noting Sincerely Me has any material About anything b/c like #well it's Just Funny. jared & alana are Easy parts b/c they're so often Funny & set apart from the Serious Drama of parental angst #i actually haven't seen that many movie musicals but the ones unembarrased about themselves are superior #plus the idea of Worthy funny/noticeably styleized things as being Distinguishingly ''Self Aware''....the idea of Being Funny as either #being Unselfawarely the butt of the joke; or awarely deliberately Clever as what makes one superior to others; laughing At them surely #and i'm right back as well to what i was musing on re: the limits of billions' own language and in turn the limit of ideas if it cannot eve #express otherwise / beyond....that worthiness is awarded with this Dignity backed by the elements of the medium as tv's discretion #versus if someone's undeserving & unserious; or usually deserving/serious but is messing up & we want you to notice; then #they Will be beset with some humiliation; probably at least more proximate to being Laughed At; material may go out of its way to do this #another thing is that billions seems to have so little to no room for anyone having a capacity to be Silly #people Being Funny On Purpose is largely making references or pwning another character; both establishing competitive Worthiness #another shift from 5x08 onward like. rian truly able to humor herself is gone with her desk clutter #the fate of winston's =] ness is found in 6x01 when both quants are being funny until rian's funniness goes [abuse coworker] mode #that illustration that Hierarchy generates a Joke; at someone's expense. characters (& the writing?)

my hobbies include watching the sheer horror on new therapists' faces when i tell them about my childhood

#eliot posts #i keep going through therapists cuz i get my therapy for free from the university #and they started putting limits on how many therapy sessions you could get from the normal clinic #so i go to their other clinic that has like. grad students getting their first clinical experiences while being supervised by a real doctor #(through recordings and a 2 way mirror. i do not get to see the real doctor's face. it's odd.) #so i get a new one every semester or so as they complete their programs #so these are fresh faced newbies that i probably make question if they're REALLY uo for the job #i mean i HAVE been told i'm a good client very open about shit very willing to try things etc etc #but they do have to listen to an hour of Horrifying Shit That My Parents Should Be In Jail For #this new lady is nice though and she Gets my issues for the most part #my previous lady that i had for the summer kinda sucked. idk if she was bad at her job or just didn't click with me #but she always managed to zero in on shit that was Not The Main Issue #some therapists have this tendency to like. focus on the Standard Depression Shit and try to treat that #(sometimes even trying to treat depression symptoms that you don't even experience) #cuz that's what's in their wheelhouse #like i'll tell some long complex issue but briefly mention like ''i kinda wish i just didn't have to keep living through all this'' #and they hone in on that minor thing because suicidal thoughts is something they know how to handle #they don't know how to handle Whatever The Fuck I Got Goin On. no one really does. least of all myself. #mental illness mention #abuse mention in tags #suicide mention in tags

Grapes (Vitis spp.)

#grapes are just shy of a ten out of ten for me #they just miss because im not the biggest fan of them as they are. i dont have many texture issues. but i have them with grapes #so i eat them mostly frozen or as raisins #or juiced or in smoothies...any way. but not too often as they naturally are. a bit too squishy for me. #they are actually such a sweet fruit. i thought those fruit juices were oversugaring it until i made my own (too sweet for me on its own) #i think grapes are pretty likeable apart from their texture. i know that roasting grapes is another way to experience more #of its flavor profile. I've never tried that cuz i like them frozen so much. and i mostly eat my fruits fresh. #but im down to try making a recipe like that. but i just dont foresee myself preferring it that way. but isee no harm in trying it at least #more and more i like my food raw. and roasting will increase its sweetness. im not too much of a sweet tooth. #share your thoughts on grapes

i saw a grizzly bear today :)

#kansas boy goes to montana and immediately develops more love for it than he ever has for any other place #granted i am poor so i have not been to many places outside of kansas + missouri but oh my god #i am so in love here. colorado is a very close aecond but montana is just a whole different world to me #i got here yesterday and i knew immediately that i was going to get my shit rocked but god #i can't describe it. it really feels like fresh powerful romance #i have always dreamed of living in colorado ( if i am to remain in this god forsaken country ) but i think montana is surpassing it #obviously i am totally ignoring how i very much feel like i am going to be hate crimed at any second #and how overwhelmingly desolate + inhospitable the land is #but my god. i am in love wholly and entirely #there's no better way to describe it #teeth has a religious experience in montana without any cell service at any point #+ totally sober + being surrounded by untamed wilderness + miles and miles away from civilization #auuuuuvgghbbbhhhhhh #i am so exhausted i have been traveling for ages and am running purely on crazed sleep deprivation but #i'm in love and had to prattle about it somewhere i guess #i also have not been on social media like at all and i know it's just another way for me to self-isolate to the point of self-harm #but in this moment it has been very valuable and helpful #i will enjoy it while it lasts
