#sorry for rambling lol i just had some thoughts

[everysongineverykey]

glass onion is just one of those movies that would be so good if it was good. you know what i mean. like, i have to give it credit: the acting’s amazing, the soundtrack’s awesome, the comedy is brilliant throughout, the whole movie’s beautifully shot, and benoit blanc has so much more personality, but cmon. look me in the eye and tell me the story is as good as knives out’s. 

like. there’s a secret pair of identical twins. cmon lol. at that point rian johnson was just having fun. honestly, i wouldn’t have minded as much if it wasn’t written to be a twist- i would’ve preferred if we’d known about helen from the very beginning. i don’t think introducing her in a hurried flashback that takes up like ten minutes of the final act was a great decision- the entire movie up to that point had been building up andi’s character, so to scrap her in the last, like, 45 minutes and try to build up a completely different character in way less time just makes them both end up feeling kind of flat as characters. glass onion’s character writing struggles almost everywhere- the only character that really felt real to me was benoit (again, i have to give them credit. benoit was done WONDERFULLY in this movie). it’s funny, because glass onion’s main cast has around the same number of people as knives out, and yet the characters in the latter all felt so much more natural and down-to-earth and lived-in.

glass onion’s problem is that it tried to go WAY bigger than knives out, really grand and over-the-top and spectacular, and while i adored watching benoit yell at a techbro billionaire ceo and helen burning his stupid mansion to the ground, the social commentary in knives out was just better done. it was less in-your-face. if glass onion could only have been more subtle in its message, i think i would’ve liked it a lot better. contrast the final shot of knives out, with marta looking down at the rich assholes who used to own the balcony she’s standing on, just sipping her coffee, with the final moments of glass onion: a billionaire’s stupid extravagant dangerous vanity project burns to the ground while the working class woman who did the deed stares off into the distance, contemplative. i agree completely with the general spirit, but... eh, it’s just too much.

i think much of glass onion’s trouble with character writing stems from this very fact- it tried to do something insane, extravagant, unimaginable to the average person, and so it collected several typical “rich person” archetypes to build its main cast around. you’ve got the elon musk parody billionaire, the politician who talks tough but is really terrified of losing her following, the vapid, vainglorious fashion icon, the mra dickhead youtuber, etc. these are archetypes we know exist- we see them on tv, we laugh at them on the news and critique them from afar, but the average person does not know anyone like this personally. compare this with the cast of knives out, made up entirely of fairly ordinary conservative, patriotic americans who aren’t willing to give their money to anyone they deem beneath them. these are normal people. everyone has at least one aunt like jamie lee curtis’ character, at least one leftist cousin like katherine langford’s character. they can look at linda and meg and jacob and walt and say, “that’s like my republican grandmother, my trashy alt-right cousin, my trumpy uncle,” etc. 

not only does this give knives out a sense of down-to-earth-ness and (for lack of a better term) intimacy that glass onion lacks with its rich shitheads, it does a lot of the writers’ jobs for them- since many already know people like this, it makes it easier for the viewers to fill in the blanks. this isn’t me calling the writers lazy by any means, by the way- i love knives out, in case you couldn’t tell. i’m saying that these characters automatically feel more real because they are real. they’re ordinary people. the characters in glass onion feel like cardboard cutouts. most of the main cast just seems like they’re there to throw the audience off from realizing that miles did it. they do what they’re supposed to do- rattle off their respective motives for murdering miles and later andi- and in between, they get drunk and bicker with each other, and they say nothing of much substance. they don’t really feel real.

like i said at the beginning, i keep coming back to the helen reveal. was there any real reason for that to be a surprise reveal in the last 45 minutes instead of just telling us that from the start? all it really accomplishes is taking up like ten minutes of the final act in a long expository flashback (in which we also get like three other MINI flashbacks) and adding in an entire new character that doesn’t get nearly enough time to become fully realized or fleshed out. the only thing i really liked about it was the way the sudden context gave new meaning to blanc’s “there’s only one person who can tell us who killed cassandra brand,” because realizing after that flashback that it really was all about her all along really threw me for a loop, but that’s really all it gives us. it’s just misdirection for the sake of misdirection.

i dunno. i loved glass onion, let me make that clear. i thought everything else about it more than made up for the subpar story, and i’ve seen it twice now and i WILL watch it again when it hits streaming, and i desperately hope they make more blanc movies, but... yeah. the only thing that could make that movie better is if it was good.

Steve and Eddie truly do feel like that “dude, but like romantically” post to me

#steddie #Steve x eddie #like I really love the idea of them still calling each other dude or man or whatever once they’re together??? #maybe that’s because I rarely like pet names so I’m biased but like… #maybe dude *is* their pet name kinda thing? #i just remember reading this guy saying he and his husband call each other buddy and I thought it was cute lol #i mean I think they might have nicknames that are in jokes eventually (or Eddie does for Steve) #and now I’m just rambling 🤣 #and not saying anything new sorry I just had this in my drafts for some reason #pizzaqueentxt

Do you have Diomedes eventually being immortalized by Athena in your hcs like he is in some versions of his mythology?

Honestly, I don't really know? 😅 He kind of only "exists" in my writing until he meets once with Penelope at like, 13-14 years of Odysseus being gone. Sthenelus is, ofc, with him. :D And he tells some stories to Penelope and kind of hangs out with Telemachus before they're off again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After that, I don't think much or plan much for him 😅 "You played your narrative purpose, now you are free to do what you please, little dude."

Maybe I'll have it mentioned or something? but I don't know for sure :'D

#I'm sorry dear anon. I know I'm kind of “Not the norm” with Diomedes and while I find him interesting. he's also the most #“He's just some guy. A very good fighter guy but still just a guy.” to me😅😂 #The only reason why I DO have thoughts on him is literally because I feel like I kind of HAVE to by the fandom :'D #It was kind of a “Oh shit. I'm supposed to have this guy be a big deal? Oh. uh...Odysseus and him are teenage exes who have beef.” #I'm fascinated by his “I'm Athena's windup toy soldier” aspect and his relationship with Sthenelus but honestly even then I find Sthenelus #more compelling than him to be honest lol #I don't even know why??? I mean Odysseus is my special little guy (Penelope moreso which is why Diomedes gets the privilege #to meet her. He will be grateful.👀) but for the male characters then it's Menelaus then Agamemnon then Patroclus then Dio #Lol in order to get me to like a character they gotta compliment and hype up Penelope xD #Menelaus? Calls her clever and “Godlike” to Telemachus. Good lad. #Agamemnon? Calls her a good woman and good and clever wife. Good lad. #Diomedes? ...Nothing. No praising Penelope. That's a crime in my book.👀 /joking #I wish I had more to say but that's all I got :'D #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #ask #anon #my headcanons

i have been ghosting my friends for idk a month??? and they have been doing the same??? except for when we meet in a workplace cuz somehow our jobs decided to cross over :)

#feeling so bad about it but like i cant bring myself to interact with people right now but i am also constantly sad because i dont interact #with anyone out of work :/ but working makes me socially exhausted & tbh all i wanna do is be depressed with my books & my movies &my tunes #but i also crave affection like i realize i have zero social life and i sometimes schedule some hangout with my friends but it's almost #become like idk a task? something i look at through work eyes. like- i arrange our hangouts the way i arrange work meetings. it's so sad. #i know it is. but still- i cant help it. through all my life ive been missing having a lifelong friend who knows me like the back of their #hands and i know like the back of mine. never had it. cant cry over that. it's passed. i cant invent lifelong friendships that never existed #and i gotta make peace with that. plus- what am i complaining about if im just incapable of keeping any friend for longer than a month??? #after the first month- maybe the first couple of months- it all gets boring and dont get me wrong i really love my friends but somehow they #lose interest in me and i lose interest in them and we become just people who know each other and occasionally hang out but like- i've never #had a friend who's there for me when things happen in my life. i've always had friends to tell things to afterwards. like- i know i cant #really pick up the phone and say “hey. im having a bad time. can we take a walk? talk on the phone? can you tell me about your day? can you #just be here for me?“ and i cant even idk just randomly pop up with a ”oh my god i hate him i hate him i hate him it's a whole montague vs #capulet but if romeo and juliet never existed kind of hatred!!“ i just cant vent right away. ive always thought that that's my problem. #and maybe it is. but still- how's come they can vent to me? im always there right away. i do love my people and i show up for them. #sometimes my depression makes it soooo difficult to hang out constantly but if there's one thing that cannot be said about mw is that i dont #care. cuz i do. and maybe that's the problem #and maybe it's just easier for me to care than let others care? idk? but then again- i did try to open up. i did try to let them care. i did #try everything by the book & off the book but still- idk it's always just an “im sorry” never an “i care so much to say more than im sorry” #and yeah it's my problem cuz i am not a constant person im not that steady in what i do. i still dont know if it's because i havent found #yet the people worth doing it or if i am just traumatized (my ex is knocking on this door lol) but- idk it makes me extremely sad!!! #and ive rambled on way too much but i jusg needed to let some things out of my mind cuz i cant understand whats wrong with me and why i #crave true friendships although im hella scared of and bored of and unwilling to nurturing one :) #cinnamon diary

What does distilled sea water taste like

aww man you had to ask the most difficult question huh

i feel like, maybe it's not the same for everyone

and maybe it's different if you are not on a boat, or on a boat that is not the boat i was on, but like

to me it

okay to start, the thing with the water, right, is that all our fresh water came from the ocean. like it was not hauled on board, there was no fresh water to start, it is all pulled up and boiled and then that water vapor is put into the tank and used for showers, sinks, toilets, and, obviously, drinking and cooking etc

right so it's just plain H2O, no electrolytes, no fluoride, no whatever the fuck right it's just. water molecules lol

but it's water that came from the ocean right so like

it tastes like water, at first (if u have ever ingested clean river water i would say even that might give u an idea), but there is an aftertaste that's like

the way that standing on a beach in the northern pacific smells. cannot be clearer than that, i'm afraid.

there's like, eau de seaweed but no but yes but no

drinking water when i got back was very strange and i am now hyper aware of how all water tastes (and i was already a picky water drinker so this is a problem lol) and sometimes i miss it. it's weird.

#i'm sure that if i had been in the atlantic it would have been different but #i'm very familiar with a specific smell like u know when ur on a beach and there is seaweed or dense algae content in the water #gives u a lil bit of that #and like there's so much shit in the ocean i did not even post all the plankton we caught bc it would have taken a hundred years but #the ocean is just lousy with stuff u know #god my kingdom for a giant diatom colony right now i miss them #that's unrelated just a passing thought #anyway i hope this helps lol #also thinking about it because if i was dirk i would probably have an aversion to water if this was all i knew #and not because it's terrible because i guzzled the stuff don't get me wrong but #because he had other things to drink right so why the fuck would u not drink the other things when the alternative is literally #waves hand #and who knows what was running through those pipes man #anyway just some thoughts i suppose #sorry i'm still rambling sorry

[distantlaughter]

in an older post (Top 5 Brocedes moments) you said that back in 2008 Nico had a favourite Brit and it (probably) wasn’t Lewis and Lewis had a favourite German (Adrian Sutil) but it (probably) wasn’t Nico. This got me wondering who was the favourite Brit and why that person? Sorry for bringing this up but the question won’t leave my head.

Hi! I’m going to be honest I actually cannot for the life of me remember who I was talking about in that post but if I had to guess I think the favorite Brit (in terms of people on the grid/associated with f1) might have been Jenson? Just based on what I could tell from the research I had done (doing activities off-the-grid together, general camaraderie)… I think I said that based more on how the media would sometimes play up the friendship between Nico and Lewis and how their level of friendship during that period in time (pre-Mercedes) actually (probably) wasn’t as best-friends-since-childhood as ppl make it out to seem…

#they were definitely close friends #but idk #they had other people #and drivers #that they were close with as well in my opinion #backed by zero sources but like that’s the vibe I got after reading like 1037382 articles about them #also I still need to replace the broken links in that post WHOOPS sorry #asks #they were childhood besties who bonded over a unique shared experience which birthed a naive dream #(unrelated but I am of the opinion that Lewis was wayyyyyy more into that driving-for-the-same-team thing than Nico but I digress) #and whenever they were together as adults in f1 (pre-merc) they had that same easy familiarity with each other #but at the same time it was different… bc it was f1 and also their career trajectories were a bit different #(Nico getting there first but struggling to shine in a weak car #Lewis almost winning the championship in his first year) #I know some ppl are like sensitive to depicting Nico as jealous of Lewis but like I doubt he didn’t feel some sort of way about it #just a little #so I think yes they weren’t really as close as some ppl think in the pre-merc years #and Nico befriended other ppl on the grid #maybe in part to distance himself from the narrative of ‘Lewis Hamilton’s childhood friend’ #and vice bersa for Lewis too #again this has zero sources I am just rambling random brocedes thoughts lol #sorry this went wayyyyy off the rails from your original ask

i forgot leon & charizard and red & charizard have team-up lines in pokemon masters. i then proceeded to remember my player character has a charizard too

#cosmo rambles #i could say its the charmander leon gives you in SWSH LOL #trainer hazel is childhood friends with red blue and green/leaf because i decided that was fun- they all have color names #so its not out of the realm of possibility for her to get swept up by accident into some goofy charizard trio #red and leon shaking hands and agreeing on Team Charizard. hazel did NOT agree to this #but you must understand she cannot say no to leon's pleading eyes. and she cant say no to red standing there looking actually excited a bit #she just sighs and buries her face in her hands and goes okay fine #she isnt doing the charizard pose though the embarrassment would kill her #red and leon standing and looking cool and heroic and confident and hazel in the back just #standing there in a charizard t-shirt #blue laughs at her and hazel sics sparks on him #hazel does have an actual sygna suit but its with her kyurem LOL i need to finish drawing that i really gotta #uhhhh while im here hmm hm hm hmmm what else can i say about red blue green and hazel uhhh #hazel met them when her family went on a trip to kanto and thats when she met her pikachu sparks too #it was right before the og trainer trio went on their pokemon journey and hazels family was staying near pallet town #they ended up exchanging contact info and staying friends #well.... for the most part. hazel and blue had a bumpy friendship for a few years #they still butt heads but its like a rival thing now. a rival thing hazel doesnt want to be involved in but blue exudes pure rival energy #oh my god this is so much im so sorry. im full of thoughts

what didn't you like about it, out of curiousity?

Hmm I’m gonna have to think on it it some more and come back to you when I’ve managed to articulate something

#I will try to get back to you later anon #I didn’t hate it. there were scenes that made me laugh and smile #but I think the prevailing feeling it’s left me with is… confusion/frustration/dissatisfaction? about the message insofar as it had one? #hmm and I think also because it made me remember how much I disliked and felt alienated by barbies growing up #not bc of the body image issues which the film makes some effort to engage with #not beauty standards but FEMININITY standards #and the movie doesn’t acknowledge that aspect of barbie as a cultural influence/reflection at all #except for maybe Allen if you squint?? #the assumption is that you want to be barbie at least to some extent. you want to be pretty. #but you’re too stressed to accomplish it or you’re too angsty to embrace your desire to be pretty #the angsty teen goes from wearing all black (and pants) to a purple skirt by the end. the girly makeover subtly signifies healing. #(I know that could just be me reading into it… but is it?) #it’s the way it holds up a specific kind of person as Woman and universalizes her struggles and calls them All Women’s Struggles #while conflating them and largely ignoring actual economic/legal/political issues faced by women as a class #and the whole ken storyline… ehh idk I need it to be more internally consistent or something. to have a coherent message and not just #‘it was like I was in a trance where I thought I cared about the Zack Snyder cut of the Justice League’ as a joke about… what? #male-dominant interests being somehow inherently toxic? cool women not being into nerdy boy stuff? #it’s the old men are from mars women are from venus thing #sigh. girl power. lol I don’t know! #sorry this rambling is all I have for you right now #I thought the critique in youtube by verilybitchie touched on a lot of good points tho so maybe that’s somewhere to start #on* youtube #but it’s ok if you liked or loved it.

Hey there! You got an ask from a scammer about a 10 month old husky. The dog pictured is a puppy, it would be far larger if 10 months old.

Unless the OP owns a Nintendog.

See, here's the thing with that. I do recognize there is the possibility, an especially high one, of this being a scam. I recognized it the moment I read the ask and saw it was the only post on the blog. Even further so when they deleted their blog. But in the one case it isn't...shouldn't the benefit of the doubt be given? Not even in terms of "ohhh donate or you're bad brrr" as in, what happened to "the eye of the beholder"?

Some reblogged saying this person posted this at different dates, and there's this, and I can understand why that would be proof for some. The thing is, proof is a subjective thing sometimes, especially online. Yes, the person describes it as a 10-month old and the picture is a puppy, but what if it was their most recent picture, and they were out of data on their phone or weren't in a scenario where they'd be able to take a picture? I think it falls to those who view this sort of thing to look into it, and either they'll think "hey, maybe just a few dollars, whatever" since, y'know, it was a Kofi link in this case, not a Paypal one. In my case, I decided that in the small scenario it wasn't a scam, then sure, why not? If it is, then awareness is simply spread of that. Either way, they take something away from it, but on a small level of course, since I'm a small blog.

TL;DR: You're on the internet, of course some things are scams, but if you have the awareness to know you're on the internet, decide these things for yourself.

I fell asleep and woke up from a bad jjk dream where kenjaku took over Gojo’s body- (after reading the new chapter…)

#I’ve thought about it for laughs before but um this is dire #I want a govival but not like this… the manga would literally never end omg #there’s no way they’d be able to defeat kengojo not without Sukuna level skills again and Sukuna is the villain like why would he be on #their side anyway #if he did fight Ken Gojo it would be solely because he’s strong and had a lot of fun the first time #and they’d been working together too so #rambling #I still wanna draw kengojo sorry #but I #don’t want it to be REAL lol #but I have to remember the rules of the culling game #there were two rules implemented stating that the game will only end once every player had been killed except for both getou and megumi #but megumi is nowhere in sight… since his body probably fused with Sukuna so he’d technically be counted as still being alive right… if his #ass does emerge from sukuna’s body um…. he’s gonna be so fucked up #Megumi’s mental state will be In shambles and I don’t want to see it #and like Kenjaku had been beheaded but we don’t necessarily know how he transfers bodies like is it a mental thing or physical one… #does he actually have to scoop the brains of the former person out of their own skulls and place his brain in or does he just use some kind #of jujutsu to bond his will to theirs and he then takes over just like that…? #do the stitches appear on their on once the takeover is complete if he doesn’t do his body transfer thing manually??? like what…

#ore no inochi #in the doubting phase of early dating i guess #and worrying a little about how much is too much after a first date we both liked while trying to go with the flow #we talked some Cardcaptor Sakura yday then i sent him that around lunch after a busy/sleepy morning and nothing yet #and he had work too but he's been on IG and saw it and my Story... #thought that'd be sweet after the selfies he sent me the other day and still thinking of his eyes after we kissed goodbye #i did want to reply to his story about IG's dumb Threaded thing but figured i'd see what he says to that #idk i felt good about things after Friday and seeing how much we have in common but not sure if i should be a bit worried lol #and i'm off work as of friday for a week+ so wanted to think of something to do #[i feel like if i get receptiveness i can chase decently but if doubt sets in... and it being so long since i tried dating and all] #meh some of this is probably just 2am sleepy rambling but yeah #guess we'll see #maybe i can text him like 'sorry if that was a bit too much was definitely too sleepy at work' or something as a save lol

Happy birthday to the number one princess in the world!! 💖

~from her biggest fans :)

ramble of my scattered thoughts on the piece under cut as usual cuz i love talking 😋

This has been an idea I've been cookin for a while, and it was so cluttered and unlike any other ensemble piece I've made... and I decided I oughta do it anyway. I love Miku, I love Vocaloid, and I wanted to do something really ambitious and crazy for her anniversary. Crazy that she's turning her "canon" age this year TwT

I had the idea floating around since like, May...? And then finally started acting on it around June 18. I'm terrible with deadlines, obvious with how I can never make a silly birthday post in time, so I started wayyyy ahead to make sure I have some room to be lazy lol, especially with an idea as ambitious as this.

This was finished on July 12! So I had to sit on this for an annoying amount of time. Very difficult for someone like me who just wants to talk about everything I'm working on to the masses. But at the very least, that gave me the time to work on the draft for this post.

~~~

Here's some ~behind the scenes~ scribbles leading up to the finished piece!

Left is the chicken scratch plan i made in my handy dandy notebook (whenever things are getting real and ambitious, i always made a rough ROUGH plan in there. Usually I'd do a rough pass of the full thing, but this was too complicated for me to do traditionally. I majorly benefited from digital tools to make this possible). CyberDiva and CyberSongman were considered, but I ended up cutting them cuz I just didn't feel like drawing them sorry-- (just pretend they're off to the side. They gave Ruby and Clara the pizza lol). Right is the "final" completed sketch (before I decided to include Chika mid-way through coloring and VY1 and VY2 near the finish line). I started by drawing the main "groups" separated on a different canvas so I can plop them into the main canvas for easy rearranging and transforming. However I got lazy and ended up drawing everyone in the bottom right corner directly on the canvas since I liked seeing the big picture of everyone's positions. Y'know.

Almost excluded Chika! But I like her design so much that I just felt like including her last-minute. You win this time, Chika fans. VY1 and VY2 were very close to being cut! I added them when I began doing the banner and thought "eh why not". I figured their non-human designs would be pretty easy to include pushed back in the bg. Ik VY1 is more commonly associated with the fan design, but I referenced the hairpin cuz it was simpler and the fan looked very annoying to draw 😭

Sorry to the fans of many Vocaloids I had to cut because this composition was insane enough as is. I promise I wanted to include fellas like CUL, LUMi and Sachiko 😭 I will admit I was a little biased on who I wanted to include over others. Like, I don't normally care for Bruno and Clara, but I wanted to get some more international 'loids in the mix. Also wanted to stick in the realm of official designs and not fan-designs since, as much as I can appreciate those, are just a whole "wait who is that guy supposed to be" situation I didn't wanna deal with. I also did wanna include even more character references through the balloons, but they ended up being kind of ugly and overcomplicated the BG :,) (Oh, and while this was originally planned to be a Vocaloid-only piece, I did end up including Teto, Neru, and Haku 'cuz those are Miku's besties dude!!! They may not be Officially in the club but they're her girls and it would be criminal to not invite them to her birthday).

Anyway, this project marks the first time I've drawn a lot of Vocaloids. Lily, Piko, Rana, Yuki, Yukari, Miki, Maika, and many more lol. All of 'em I've heard or seen in passing, but now I actually drew them, and some have really cool and fun designs!! I got into a habit of drawing Merli after this since I just love her design for example. And I'll probably be drawing more lol!!

Oh and the last thing I'll add for now!! The cake is indeed made up of various song references!! I wanted to reference the "big four" producers, just absolute icons in Vocaloid history. The pink/black checkerboard is "World is Mine" (Ryo), the crescents on the side is "Rolling Girl" (Wowaka), the smiley faces is "Matryoshka" (Hachi), and the three hearts on the side is "The Vampire" (DECO*27, which is sort of a symbol of his whole Mannequin album tbh). I know "The Vampire" is a bit modern but I couldn't think of anything else off the top of my head. I'm a fake DECO fan I know 😔 "Matryoshka" was originally going to be referenced in the colors of the candles but believe me it looked like shit so I just went for something else last minute 😭

That's all I have to say!!! Hope you didn't mind the text wall if you made it here. I hope you like it as much as I do!!!! Happy freakin' birthday Miku!!!!

I have to deal with tagging all these characters now for my page,,, in the drafts my tags got cut off after a certain point so I think I'm massively breaching the tag limit 😭 um... I'll figure that out later...

not losing sleep that i can't tag everyone, even for page organization purposes because some characters have pretty generic names and some are a little hard to see in full yknow. If you're one of those people who tag every character in the art piece you reblog... I am very sorry.
