Wait guys holy shit
Is empathy like... A real thing? That people experience? Or did we all just get told a wild concept that can't possibly happen in nature and just assumed that we don't have it because we don't experience something that generally shouldn't be possible to experience anyway?

adhd is such an unbearably frustrating way to live like i've been having issues with my bank account/card where i literally couldn't use my card for anything nor log into my online banking and it took me a week to remember to go to the bank to sort it out. every day i would go to use my card and get notifs that i was in overdraft and i couldnt fix it because i couldn't log into my bank account to transfer money between my accounts and every single time i would think 'i need to go to bank and sort this out' and immediately forget and then once i finally went to the bank and sorted my shit out i found out i still cant get into my online banking and this was 5 days ago and i've been meaning to call my bank every day so i can sort that out because my payments are still not going through and i still havent called the bank and i havent been able to actually use my bank account for like 2 weeks now and i'm just living like this because i keep fucking forgetting to do the basic task of contacting my bank. and every single practical day to day life maintenance thing is like this for me and no matter how many reminders i set or ask people to remind me to do something it still happens whether its for my bank stuff or literally any other task and its so fucking embarrassing

Chapter 5 Progress Update
Time is slipping away from my hands like the sand grains of the golden bed pouring between my open fingers. (aka yes I know it's been another 2 weeks without an update lol)
I'm going to be completely transparent here. I don't think I need to do these anymore? After all, like I said before, my only tasks left are the closing argument comic and the execution and I don't think it's very worth it making a post each week going "yea uh I did like a page or two uh"
As for Rexx, I've helped them finalise the plans for the Monotora files, so things are going fine.
Now, about the inbox. I haven't really been answering the rest of them purely due to the fact that the majority of them are art-based in some way. And, as I'm already so focused on art-based tasks for the chapter, I just can't find much time nor energy to get onto them.
So, again, I apologise if your ask is still sat in the inbox and will take some time to get to. I won't abandon any ask I am able to answer, so please don't worry about it like, never getting answered (as I won't be opening the inbox back up until I can get to the remaining ones).
TLDR: If I have a significant update about the fic, I'll most likely post it here. Otherwise, I don't see the need for these posts anymore. Thanks for understanding ^^

the analysis on aziraphale that exactly one person asked for✨ and that i churned out at a speed that surprised even me, but i wanted to get it out without having seen s2 on 26th/28th and therefore being influenced in any way with further aziraphale content...
anyway, i said in an ask that i find aziraphale really challenging and emotional to analyse but by god am i going to do my best✨ (im not sure when exactly i gained the emerging reputation for calling out two of my favourite literary characters, but we move-)
aziraphale has a real big issue with faith, misplacing that faith, and turning that faith into idolising certain things. now the obvious one is the blind, naive faith in heaven. there's also arguably, at times, issues with his faith in humanity, in that his faith was placed elsewhere (see above re: heaven). but lastly, he also has an issue with his faith in crowley. ive waxed lyrical on the last one already, but didn't really delve into the effect that this has directly on crowley, so let's touch in this a little now.
similarly to what i feel about crowley, i think that whilst aziraphale has a more natural affinity for kindness and compassion, im not entirely convinced that he is inherently a good person - certainly not in the show, in any case.
he is however certainly more 'good' than the majority of his kin. and not all of that is due to his literal being an angel, because we know first hand that being angelic is not synonymous with good. we know that other angels actively distort the perception of their association with 'good' (michael when talking to ligur, "of course you can trust me... im an angel!") to benefit themselves. ultimately, the literal antithesis of altruism, and so it can't be the case that aziraphale has propensity for good just because he's an angel.
as far as we are aware, he has had the relatively same experiences, on earth particularly, as crowley. the only notable exception to this is the fall, which obviously aziraphale did not go through. crowley comes out of the fall, in my opinion, very much stuck at that point in time, and hasn't truly moved on or grown from it, mentally or emotionally. so all of his experiences through the next 6000 years have been endured whilst he's still in this almost childlike mindset. this mindset might be due to (if we're applying human emotional concepts here) abandonment trauma, and a part of me agrees, but i think its predominantly out of bitterness, resentment, and possibly even arrogance and plain denial.
aziraphale however did not go through the fall, and therefore when we see him skipping through time and into the present day (s1 era), he still holds a stake of faith in heaven and its machinations. however, what sets him apart from the other angels is that he has had experiences that they have not, by virtue of being on earth and experiencing first- and second-hand the repurcussions that heaven's games have on humanity... the community that aziraphale is now essentially exiled to be a part of. part of what aziraphale has learnt, i think (and was pointed out very succinctly by the Longwinded Anon✨ in a previous ask - now officially their name), is literally how to learn from error.
aziraphale's faith in heaven gets torn down when he realises that they are choosing to retcon humanity just to be able to prove to hell that they are superior. this is something that aziraphale ultimately perpetuated in his compliancy and inaction where heaven's overall agenda is concerned, but also in his blind faith that heaven surely wouldn't want the earth destroyed, god's ultimate creation... surely not? well, that proves to be the case, and aziraphale finally twigs that heaven was not a Good Place. it was his error - his blind faith in and subservience to heaven - but he learns from it.
his faith in humanity is still a work in progress for most of s1, in that he has one foot in thinking that they are capable of great things, but also one foot out because he knows that they have capacity to wreak utter horror and terror all by themselves (just as crowley remarks time and time again). however, he has his growth moment where this is concerned, in the form of accepting that humanity is truly a mix of both good and evil, and that without one, humanity cannot truly be defined as the other. he expresses this revelation to adam during the timestop; that adam is human incarnate by being neither good nor evil, but perhaps a mix of both. it feels like an apology, an apology that could be interpreted as one aziraphale is giving to all of humankind. he's apologising for not committing to his faith in them. it was an error - but he learns from it.
but what about crowley? well, as already agonised over, he goes so far in having faith in crowley that, in my opinion, he's built crowley in his mind to be someone else entirely, and yet somehow exactly who crowley is. aziraphale knows that crowley is altogether a bit of a bastard (understatement, frankly), but he trusts that crowley will always know what the right - good - thing to do is. is this misguided, misplaced? yes, i think it is. and i think crowley knows this, at least on some level, and again in his arrogance takes advantage of this.
but what effect does aziraphale's faith have on crowley? well, i don't necessarily think it has a detrimental effect on him, because i think it ultimately benefits crowley - who, again, in his childlike mindset still, has someone who believes in him and will follow him and want to know him. id even say that crowley, faced with the prospect that one wrong move he could end up truly alone, will peversely do some pretty questionable things to keep this. a specific highlight being the tempting aziraphale to kill warlock; if he were truly trusting in aziraphale, i think he'd actually ask and explain why he needs aziraphale to do it instead of him. instead, he tries to tempt him into it and giving him quite underhanded rationalisations as to why it's necessary. this comes to a head at the bandstand when aziraphale flips this on its head, and suggests that given that he's an angel, and crowley is a demon, it should be crowley that does it.
this is where i come to the point where i think aziraphale fails as a friend and possibly is equally damaging to crowley as vice versa; he holds his status as an angel over crowley's head. he remarks pretty consistently throughout that crowley is a demon, and he is an angel; whilst on one level this is just simply an observation, it also feels like he has to clarify the power and status imbalance for a specific reason. im not necessarily clear on what this reason is, but my main thought is that it's out of insecurity with his place in heaven, amongst the angels, on earth... and with crowley.
he seems to constantly need to reassert himself as the better of the two, and at times can be outright patronising ("I am an angel, you are a demon, we are hereditary enemies... get thee behind me, foul fiend!"). now some of this equally is for comedy's sake, and in part for exposition to us as the viewer, but the clear integral theme for me is that he expects crowley to just accept it, and not to challenge it. because of course, how could crowley challenge it? it's true, it's a fact.
but the way i kind of interpret these moment is that aziraphale reiterates it very purposefully whenever crowley begins to toe the line of, 'im a demon but i might possibly want to be better than a demon... not an angel, per se, but just better'. so we can take this as crowley finally wanting to move on from his Fall-mindset, and he needs the support of his friend to do it, but his friend won't let him due to his own insecurity and instability. does he fear that crowley would supplant him? or that crowley would stop needing him? start pulling away from him, when all this time these two lonely individuals have danced around in orbit of each other, locked together in a holding pattern borne out of their respective co-dependent necessity for each other?
aziraphale's ultimately a very lonely individual; crowley was, for whatever reason he fell, ripped away from the kinship and camaraderie that he felt in heaven. but aziraphale wasn't shown this kind of perverse mercy; he has to feel the debilitating agony of knowing that on paper he still belongs, but that instead he's ostracised from heaven because of who he inherently is and has continued to become because of his experiences in earth. it stands to reason therefore that he puts crowley on a pedestal as aziraphale originally saw, and wants to see, him. he selfishly (imo) keeps trying to contain crowley, because if he changed, and then suddenly found he doesn't have any need of aziraphale anymore... well, what purpose would remain for aziraphale, a purpose that he truly cares about, if crowley's dependency were to disappear?
where would that leave aziraphale?

Pattern is the free Flax sweater by Tin Can Knits, and I'm using their app which is very nice to use to knitting their patterns. Yarn is Wool Ease in Arrowwood, and it is the softest I have ever felt Wool Ease be, so I guess the yarn gods are smiling on this project. This is my first attempt at knitting a sweater, though I have crocheted one and a half of them, and this will also probably be my biggest project to date, though the Supernova mkal was also quite large, and quite a few stitches.
I'm doing the short rows version, knitting my neck ribbing afterwards, and this will be size xxl because I want it to be a little loose on me.

sweet sweet re:kinder community... I would like to ask y'all how you came upon the game and your experiences with it because i wanna know. im genuinely so curious to hear about other people's experiences and little opinions about this game because of how wild the game is (/pos) I'd love to hear it. do ramble to me about it
#re:kinder#not art#so in my case i once saw someone talk about it in a video and some scenes with the very vague context really struck with me#i was like wow...that is so sad... i wonder what goes on#but the thing is i watch videos talking about games like that ALLL THE TIME while im multi-tasking so i FORGOT FOR A YEAR?!?!?#until one day i was sick in pain on my bed could not move. and then it came to me. yes. “RE:KINDER. I SHOULD PLAY IT.” LIKE OUT OF NOWHERE#i will never understand how i dying of pain remembered a game i saw once BY NAME AT LEAST A YEAR LATER when jve heard of so many games#and you wanna know why it stuck with me. i saw in the video an image of the “as if id be reborn as a princess” line#i did not know the context but it was devastating#AND WHEN I PLAYED THE GAME when that scene game i was shocked to silence😭😭 BECAUSE I BASICALLY WENT COMPLETELY BLIND??#I DID NOT KNOW THE LITTLE KID WOULD BE THE ANTAGONIST???? AND THAT HE WOULD HAVE SUCH A SAD STORY??#like. i saw the sad coming i knew it was bound to happen yet i could have never been prepared for how hard it would hit me#I HAD TONS OF FUN but at first when i finished it i was so confused and so lost i was like welll.....what a game... TOO STUNNED FOR WORDS#then i thoughr of it for 20 minutes and bawled my eyes out and realized it was art#so when i got to my second playthrough i CRIED LIKE CRAZYYY😭😭 I WAS BLOWN AWAY IT REALLY HITS YOU#personally it admittedly hit close to home and while it made me bawl my eyes out it was also very comforting i felt very understood#AND IT WAS CRAZY FUN TOO i was not bored once the first time i played through it i was sleepy but i was so excited to keep playing😭😭#its funnt becayse i was initially apprehensive about playing cuz im sensitive to stories where sad things happen to kids#but i played it regardless because i was like “but what if its one of those scary media that hit close to home and i enjoy”#AND I WAS RIGHT. BUT NOT ENTIRELY BECAUSE I DID NOT THINK IT WOULD HIT AS INTENSELY AS IT DID😭😭 IT WAS MYCH MORE THAN EXPEVTED#many ways in which it impacted me but if i started listing them i would not shut up . so for now it is enough#IN SUMMARY WOW.. WHAY A GOOD GAME!! PLAY RE:KINDER!!!#i rambled more than i intended to i do apologize

I'm about to throw all my academic values overboard to get this fucking article done
#linguistics are my enemy#not because I don't like the subject#I'm just........ so much less at ease with this than with literary sciene oh my god#I'm so glad I can mostly focus on lit in the future but let me tell you these few linguistics articles I have/had to do have really brought#me to my limit#and I thought I was already fed up and not giving a shit when I did that one article in summer... oh I had NO IDEA how much less of a shit#was capable of giving!!!#the thing is.... I think objectively I'm still? idk not the worst I could technically be doing#like there ARE people who straight up... idk don't even try to have a research question or who don't read more than a handful or articles b#t ugh#I like academic writing so much and I love putting in the work and I love actually getting into the reseach and finding the most important#texts and writing a balanced and well researched article but ugh..... I just feel like I keep reaching my limits with linguistics#and this time is worse than the others because this topic is SO FAR from being standardized and all I can do is ???? mention that there's#like a hundred different models and then just??? choose one and go with it? which is so fucking unsatisfying#but I swear... everybody in this field is just making up a new model that's just different words for the same thing (and not in the /normal#way that science /always/ is about making up a new model. no. this time they are very unnecessarily making up new models)#ugh. everything about this sucks#I should've chosen a different seminar I should've chose a different topic and I especially should've written more of this in summer when I#technically still had a little more time#sorry for blowing up your dash with complaints this festive season lol. I am just having a time (TM) with the different writing tasks on my#hands and I need a place to vent I guess#simon.out.#sounds so drastic btw I'm not about to cheat or plagiarize or anything but I'm about to do so much less of a proper work than I ever wanted#to allow myself to do. cherrypicking and all.

Okay it's been a few hours since I finished 2010 TYWMC and I have not stopped thinking about the scene where Dr. Chandra is talking to HAL about full-throttling back towards earth and the lead up to that as well,,,,In fact I think I'm thinking about how everyone else treats HAL vs how Dr. Chandra treats HAL, and it makes sense, to the others HAL is a potentially dangerous system, he's killed before and they're afraid he'll kill again, but Dr. Chandra, he's the only one that treats HAL with so much kindness and understanding, and it makes sense he programmed him after all! But the way that understanding and respect is the thing that saved them,,,,like they convince Dr. Chandra to lie to HAL despite Dr Chandra contesting to it and he couldn't keep it up, he's the only one that has the basic decency not to lie to HAL and they were so ready to shut him off (At least they still think they have the capability to do that) because of that, they were so convinced that telling him the truth would cause him to refuse, and HAL understands. he understands why they're doing what they're doing. And I don't think that would've happened if they lied to HAL. Gwahhhhh sorry this is really unfiltered rambling rn I just really really love how this movie handles HAL, because in the first movie it is not clear why HAL is why he is unless you've read the books and 2010 works so well with it, man, I can't wait to read the book for 2010 man

Really should be sleeping but I really just have to share that Archie my dearest finally got to Misty... At last they can see their bestie
(Their real objective is the destruction of Barnacle Bessie, the only being in existence that Archie feels negatively towards)
#game screenshots#Archie Archaeopteryx#I also got Archie to max level fishing today#I need to do the other activities to max out their laff#Since the thing with them is they're kinda a challenge toon#I keep them in barnacle boatyard main task line vise#But keep doing stuff with them like try level them up and get high lvl gags#They even have full sellbot and csshbot suits... Still gotta attempt VP and cfo with them#But I think they're good to VP run at least#Cfo I'm not so sure maybe if I level their gags a bit#Still gotta attempt lawfices with them too#But we did drag them thru cog golf once too#They can do better off now since they're stronger now since last tine#Idk it is really fun to play this way maybe not even challenging but just fun.... A way I play Pokémon and other games for example#Is that I spend extra time over leveling myself and then I continue and sweep stuff and then repeat this usually and idk why especially#Early game... It's rlly fun. I did a bit of this with frost but also I tried just. Getting stuff done fast. And also like... Its my main#And 'first' toon (that I got that far) so I experienced some stuff for the first time but now that I'm an experienced player I can do this#Stuff. It's genuinely so fun not only I have an oc I love in Toontown but also a really fun way to play the game#And cme on its fun to show off a baby toon and be like :3 HEEHEE we dragged them thru cog golf and they lived#I should go eepy now... I think I will. (Is avoiding things)

i think one of the things that stopped me from realizing i was a system for a while is the fact that we don't really have "hard" breaks when the alter who's fronting changes (if/when that happens)
like the best analogy is that the 'front' is driving a car, but everyone else is still in the car and at least vaguely aware of what's going on. even if say ariadne isn't the one who "drove", she still knows we started at point A and ended at point B and can intuit what happened in between, possibly with someone else going "oh yeah we also stopped at the gas station" (1)
this also makes it tricky to tell who is fronting most of the time because like, most everyone is at least aware of what's going on, so we have to think about our thoughts (2) to try telling who's "driving" and that kind of meta-thinking is distracting and usually not worth actually doing lol

i actually walked all the way to the coffee shop and wrote several words today but i put 100% of them in the wrong tense so they must all be rewritten & also they suffer from the minor issue of being completely unreadable so that’s a problem also
