#to make sure i stay on track

[starbuck]

got a BUNCH of mundane tasks done today that i have not had time for for weeks and i am SO grateful!

#cleaned my bathroom kitchen and den #did four loads of laundry #paid off my credit card… finally secured my unofficial transcript… drafted a text to my uncle about tuition funds for next semester #made a detailed work schedule with pre-written tasks for each day over the next month or so #to make sure i stay on track #my friend came over and we watched a film and chatted a bunch #i did another Master Naturalist class #i got a good amount of this week’s schoolwork done #did i have a single moment to myself just to chill? No. #BUT i’m glad i got stuff done #it was worth it #and i’ll have chill time on Thursday #whew… #mansion tours tomorrow can’t WAIT!!!!!

hey everyone do you ever think about how much of rui's love for nene is stored inside nenerobo

#project sekai #kamishiro rui #kusanagi nene #nenerobo #wxs rui #wxs nene #how nenerobo was literally created by rui because he couldn't stand to see her suffer #couldn't stand to see her lose that spark for theatre and music. #how nenerobo keeps track of nene's limits + boundaries + energy + social battery #how nenerobo just KNOWS what upsets nene and what may throw her off #because rui knows. because rui knows nene like nobody else does #+ i don't know if this is canon because i never found the source material but the self defense system that rui incorporated into nene robo? #when he found out that nene was staying behind after rehearsals to practice??!! ?!? uhahghhgh #he loves her so much it's going to make me sick. i need to consume a brick #also. to this day i still find it hilarious that nenerobo had a SALARY when they worked at phoeniland #the money went straight to rui so he could spend it on her upgrades #but still. the idea of it. cracks me up #like yeah let's start paying this incredibly intricate ai our employed show performer of 17 years made from scratch. #im sure this is Normal

I swear Sam Seaborn gets more autistic every time I watch the damn show

#also more gay #but thats another matter altogether #my boy is out here answering rhetorical questions #then apologising for it cos hes a sweetie too #and I mean Celestial Navigation!!! #the autism is showing #my dream for if Sam has stayed on the show would be seeing him get home from a long day with lots of meetings #and he has to stim a lot #so hes flapping his arms and reading and rereading some nerdy shit that no one else would think is relaxing #but it's his lil special interest so fuck them #also he has a boyfriend but again im off track #or like sam has a super busy time of it so Josh makes sure Sams office is well stocked with the only 4 foods he will eat #oh my love #sam seaborn #the west wing

Okay so much life happened, but I realized on top of that I was too committed to running the tournament with as many of the nominees as physically possible in one bracket (who knew 256 characters isn't actually a sane, normal quantity to work with when you have other responsibilities? Oops)

I finally acknowledged that that's not actually reasonable for me to handle simultaneously, and there's nothing stopping me from doing more brackets with the remaining contestants if this goes well first :)

So this week we'll be speed running the group tournament I started months ago, then jumping right into the main tournament!

#no more delays this time! #plus I recruited someone to help keep everything organized and make sure the tournament stays on track :) #considering how the main tournament goes I have a few other ideas on things to do here #if people are still interested after this long delayed thing #either rerun it repeatedly until I go through all of the several hundred contestants #or tournaments for individual fandoms #because some of them have a ton of characters nominated but aren't going to be represented in the main thing #on that note if someone wants to take the homestuck characters off my hands please do #there are too many of them

I'm starting to question if I should even bother with the stupid paper.... I'm probably just gonna fail anyways lmao

#ive been running around stuck on Babysitter Duty for the past three days and the teacher only gave us any instructions on thursday yet #somehow expected a full paper done and edited by sunday. even if i wasnt stuck on babysitter duty she'd get a shitty paper just due to how #little TIME that is to get things done. but because i am on babysitter duty uhhh..... well so far there's no paper #ive been spending practically full days having to take care of my sister and i cant just Ignore Her so i havent done my paper while watchin #her because again: my focus needs to be on Her. and shes incredibly loud which makes it super hard to focus. fun combo /s #so i was like 'i'll just stay up Really Late and do it then' but that hasn't worked because my sister WONT GO TO BED if im awake. i was up #until 4am last night hoping she'd fall asleep and shut up and i could work but Nope! #and then i got too tired to even care anymore #i've tried explaining this to others and they're just like 'ok well you just need to find a way to make it work :/' which is very much #easier said than done! and im scared about this paper because this teacher doesnt accept late work at all for pretty much any reason #and im sure she wont understand my situation. because shes also the teacher that didnt understand that i didnt have the textbook on time #because it was still being shipped and i dont control the rate at which book ships and she was like #'..........okay well you still need to have the book by tomorrow at least <3' when i told her the book had Just shipped and idk when i'd ge #the dumb thing. so yknow i dont have high hopes about this #also just as extra 'make stuff more difficult' i have zero accommodations because my mom cant keep track of my fucking IEPs and they wont #let me have accommodations unless i have that and idk how to get a copy anymore. so i've also been running around with no help in that area #and it's not great </3 #idk im just stressed out and frustrated and i Want To Cry :) #vent

#i am so fucking!!! #the motifs and themes are chefs kiss #the way it teases out the characters and themes and plot of the book so evocatively while doing its own thing and keeping it fresh #the voice of it all!!! #it's all ive listened to or thought about for several weeks and no one i know has listened (despite many hints) #like ugh i listened to it forever ago and thought it was fine but kinda meh and cheesy #past me you were WRONG ok you straight up didnt get it #also if this in any way makes u wanna listen do but make sure you go in open minded and ready to accept what they are ready to give u #which is love and friendship and lore and angst and sense of self #and also i have to recommend listening to my curated extended playlist that slots back in 3 of the cut songs #(5 cut songs were released as bonus tracks and theyre all fun but one is more of a bit and one is duplicative of another song in the show) #(as in literally shares some dialogue) #so while try does tread some of the same emotional ground of lost it gets to stay while in the same boat sadly does not #ily tho itsb #anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk #pjo #tlt musical #post #eta: oh and don't even get me STARTED about the Implications of the roles that are double/triple/etc cast #GABE IS LUKE IS ARES #CLARISSE IS MRS DODDS IS KATIE GARDNER #SALLY IS THE ORACLE IS SILENA IS CHARON #(i know the katie and silena thing doesnt feel like much but oh!! in my heart it is so much) #GROVER IS MR D DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE GALAXY BRAIN MEME IN MY HEART RN #and just to close the loop chiron is all other male gods and also medusa and it's so!!! #we don't have time to unpack all that but t #it's always rotating in my mind

THE BIG SCARY

#THE BIG SCARY THE BIG SCARY THE BIG SCARY #thing what I am experiencing currently. Uh Oh Uh Oh Uh Oh. Hell. Hell I Made For Myself. #literally I am inside a horrendous shakespearean comedy and I sure hope that I come out of it alive! #but we are all adults here and the other people involved are - to say it quite harshly - a little less neurotic than I am #the consequences in my mind are improbable and also not exactly life-ruining but I am far down the thought spiral already aren't I #time to DISTRACT MYSELF. make and mend and movie time maybe. #I want to be watching sharpe and I have two more to go but also I should take a break because it's making me weird in the braincase #and also. if I stay here harris and hagman are alive forever and just fine. but the show must go on is the thing. #both in the sharpe-watching and in my actual life there must be a moving forward. you can't stop the world in its tracks by wishing. #after writing this all out I do feel a little better. whooeee.

We've fallen down a moon knight rabbithole and he's quickly becoming a new favorite + one of our protectors feels very 'he gets it' about Jake Lockley. Your blogs been really great and it's helped us avoid some of the shittier depictions :) - Lark, Lyric System

Thank you so much for taking the time to send such a kind message! I am absolutely over the moon and glad to hear that this blog has been of some service to you in parsing through Moon Knight’s comic appearances. By all means, welcome to the rabbit hole and I hope you enjoy your time here with us Moon Knight fans!!! :D

#Knight Mail #gosh I really do cherish the asks y’all send #the feedback is always great to make sure I’m staying on track and remind me that I’m not just yelling into the void here hahaha #(the facts that you are all so nice and want to talk about Moon Knight are definite bonuses though hahaha)

[murderballadeer]

sorry to talk abt the academic advisor again but like she kept trying to talk me out of doing the thesis at all which like i get that she doesn't want students to do it if they don't really want to but it was really kind of frustrating bc i have given it a lot of thought on my own & have been planning on doing this since before i even enrolled at this school & i really don't appreciate being told i shouldn't do it at all bc she thinks i'm not committed enough or not articulate enough about my research ideas based on having met with her twice for like ten minutes each. like again i'm sure she has good intentions but it was rly kind of demoralizing to find out that the person who's supposed to be helping me take steps to do this apparently thinks i don't have what it takes

#& the previous advisor was a lot more enthusiastic too #when i spoke to her like over a year ago so when i was in my first semester at this school #she was like that's great that you're interested & we'll make sure you stay on track for this #soapbox

Nano 2023 Day 19

The boys start hatching a plan

“Unless I tell Father what you’re planning,” said Hermes, gears turning, a plan forming.

Apollo froze, bright eyes hard and sharp. “You wouldn’t.”

Hermes shrugged. “I might. What’s stopping me?” The archer’s hand flexed and Hermes rolled his eyes, waving him off. “None of that. I’m looking for a deal, not a fight.”

The messenger floated in a circle around him, laid back, arms crossed beneath his head, while Apollo’s eyes trailed after him, appraising him with a thin frown. “What kind of deal?”

“One that gets us both what we want,” Hermes supplied. “Athena was gonna send the boy to Tartaros.”

Apollo’s brows shot up. “What?”

“On Father’s orders but still,” Hermes said. “I wanted to go against it, but Athena reasoned that he’d be bound to notice. I mean, his top general and head messenger trying to hide something he wants very dearly to get rid of? The odds weren’t exactly stacked in our favor.”

The realization dawned across Apollo’s face. “But Ares is different.”

Hermes grinned. “Bingo.”

“Father doesn’t want Ares around on the best of days,” Apollo said, excited now, waving his hands as he spoke. “There’s no way he’d notice he’s gone now. We’d just need to keep Father from noticing while we track the two of them down.”

“And between us, we’d have no trouble,” Hermes finished, delighted to be on the same page.

But then Apollo paused. “Us?”

Hermes clicked his tongue. “Well, that’s where the deal comes in: I want you on Olympus with me.”

“Why?”

“I want you help.”

“Wouldn’t that raise suspicions?” Apollo argued. “God of prophecy and all hanging around, making people wonder why I’m there?”

“More than you roaming across the countryside?” Hermes gestured to his everything. “You’re not exactly subtle.”

“I can be subtle,” he said, a mite defensive, chin upturned.

“You could be a distraction. Look, I can lie through my teeth all day, but Father is.” Hermes sighed and scrubbed his hands down his face. “He snapped at Athena yesterday. We’re on thin ice up there and I don’t wanna see what happens when it cracks. I’d feel better if you were there.”

#hopefully i'm not playing too fast and loose with dynamics and personalities #definitely wanna go back and make sure everyone's staying in character which is hard to keep track of in 200+ word bursts #i do think hermes and apollo are fun as a unit like #day 1 of knowing each other is big “today my brother pushed me so i'm starting a gofundme to put him down” #what with the cow stealing and the lying #but the myth record also says that apollo likes him the bestest #and i think it's fun that they had that growth #i'm also trying to make sure hermes isn't just going along with whatever the last person who spoke with to him thinks #a difficult task #my post #writing

I have waited a full hour outside my lecturer's office just to get confirmation within a couple seconds of talking to him that yeah, he got my email and accepts the submission, he just didn't feel the need to send me a reply confirming that.

Maybe I do need to "take a chill pill" especially wrt academics as many people over the course of my life have suggested.

My defense is that given how my undergrad went I think I'm justified in wanting to have absolute certainty that nothing goes wrong this time around.

#Liveblogging my masters #I didn't even have lectures today so I could've stayed home & had the whole day to study #But instead I wasted half of it coming here to get confirmation in person #I am a very chill student. The Most Chill. As you can see. #Now only thing I'm left anxiously awaiting confirmation for is the guy who said he might supervise my thesis if I sent him an email #With my idea #Which I sent a week ago & haven't heard back about since #Which is fair since I attached articles & he probably needs time to look through them #Buuuttt he's supervising a reading course next semester on quiver reps that I'm very interested in #& sign ups are by email too #So signing up for that is a good opportunity to make sure he got my other email too #..........I do not like the fact that I am the kind of person who freaks out about not getting immediate replies #& then tracks people down for updates #Especially considering I don't *give* prompt replies myself #But. I hate uncertainty more!

I saw some comments of Italians saying that in the beginning of last season, when ferrari had their first issues, charles still sound positive and hopeful in the post race interviews. And now in the interview after the first race he already sounds apathetic and defeated like seb and alonso were before. Like he already realized this isn't going to work.

I don't know about that. Obviously it's a big shock (derogatory) and disappointment to unexpectedly DNF in the very first race of the season (especially if it was preventable) so he's hardly going to be all smiles in the immediate aftermath. I believe the drivers are expected to head straight to the media pen after a DNF, which means he basically didn't have a chance to speak to anyone from the team before heading to the media, save for Andrea, who knows about as much as Charles does. His first DNF in 2022 came in Barcelona, at a time where they had a much more competitive car from day 1 and it looked like they could still turn things around pretty easily (Max was ahead by 6 points after that race and that's after RB swapped the cars; had Checo won the race, Charles would've still had the lead in the standings.)

Whereas in this race Ferrari already knew they were on the back foot relative to Red Bull, and that podium was much-needed for the team. So obviously the frustration and disappointment is going to show. However, he looked pretty happy in the pics from his visit to the factory today, so I think the motivation is still there. I remember seeing quotes going around of Charles admitting he's feeling better in the car than he did during testing, so that's already a tentative positive. They supposedly have all this straight line speed banked, so it'll be interesting to see how they'll do on a track where tyre degradation is less of an issue, plus the rumoured wing upgrades...

There's been a lot of defeatism going around, both from the fans but perhaps more surprisingly from the teams themselves, after just one race that probably wasn't all that representative. Remember, some people really, truly believed the season was already decided after Australia last year. Does it look like more of an uphill climb this year compared to last season? Yes, no doubt. But to publicly throw in the towel, like Mercedes is doing, after one race? All this talk of this being the longest-ever season of F1 and people are just shrugging and writing it off. Sure, it looks predictable from where we're standing today, but it's still F1 and there's always a possibility of crazy unexpected shit happening. 🤷🏻‍♀️

#replies #anonymous #realistically it doesn't look peachy right now for anyone who's not a red bull fan i get it i see it #but deciding the outcome of the entire season based on one race alone feels a bit hasty all the same #i get it for a team like merc playing the defeatism card this early on only ensures that they'll be seen in a more sympathetic light #and yknow should they bag any podiums or whatever down the line (even if it's thanks to on-track insanity rather than on performance merit) #then they're automatically making themselves look like the big comeback kings and this grand underdog narrative is alive and well #idk maybe it's idealistic of me but if you don't stay at least a bit open-minded you're probably hampering your enjoyment #there's always some kind of drama and narratives and surprises playing out across the season and im sure we'll get some this year too #discussions and predictions
