#what do we think folks?

[allthefakepeople]

ok

more thoughts

i originally thought the order of events of s3 was going to be the blacklight party, which would lead to the hallway scene, which would then lead to the lake scene the next day and that lake scene would be the last scene

HOWEVER

based on what i've seen from some other people and after re-watching the trailer about 10 times

here's my prediction for the last few episodes:

this music room fight is ep 4 or ep 5, leading to the tension leading up to the blacklight party

at first we get partyboy wille

but then when he sees simon, he's brought back down to earth, while simon is just worried about whatever had gone down between them

maybe wille tries to leave and simon follows him and it's then that he asks if they can forget everything that has happened for the night (this part is purely a guess)

BUT i do think it will lead to the hallway scene

i think ep 5 will end with the lake scene and their "is everything okay between us"

which i think will actually lead to them taking a bit of a break just to figure out where they both stand and maybe they hate what they're turning each other into (again speculation) and i think this scene will be the last one of ep 5

THEN ep 6 will be involve

this conversation which i think could be wille saying he might be stepping down from his role or asking simon how he would feel if he did

and THIS is the last scene of the show

(please note i could be incredibly far off but it'll be fun to see if any of this ends up being correct because i was incredibly wrong about most of my s2 predictions)

NEW BRACKET ALERT!!!!

I got exactly one (1) "yis" vote for posting this today so here we goooooo

This one's a staring contest, so the rules are pretty simple: whoever blinks, looks away, or laughs first loses. For the sake of funny things to picture in my head I will allow for competitors to try to pull silly faces in order to get their opponent to break, but no hand waving or other movement.

Sound fair? Cool. Here's the bracket which I made an effort to create all by myself in google sheets:

And the first-round matchups:

Karis Nemik vs. Arvel Skeen

Blevin vs. Syril Karn

Pre-Mor Officer #3 (Brian) vs. Corv

Saw Gerrera vs. Wilmon Paak

Cinta Kaz vs. Time Grappler

Taramyn Barcona vs. Cassian Andor

Tay Kolma vs. Linus Mosk

Kleya Marki vs. Kino Loy

Brasso vs. Timm Karlo

Perrin Fertha vs. Ruescott Melshi

Dedra Meero vs. Luthen Rael

Lonni Jung vs. Leida Mothma

Eedy Karn vs. Gorst

Partagaz vs. Vel Sartha

Gorn vs. Maarva Andor

Bix Caleen vs. Mon Mothma

I went ahead and made some cuts to the lineup myself this time. Sorry if I've left out your faves; there's always a chance they could come back for something different.

Polls begin on Wednesday!

Not a day goes by where I do not think about the advent of medicine like PrEP and wonder just what the people - especially queer people - who passed from HIV/AIDs during the AIDs crisis would think

And then, I read this survivor's testimony and it just makes me emotional. I think this is the closest answer we have. HIV has changed, and we must always remember the people who didn't see that change before it happened.

#gay #queer #lgbt #lgbtq #described images #image description in alt #i do try to learn from older queer people about this tome period because i wasn't around for it #but i always wondered what the people who didn't make it would have thought of where we are now #there's this weird grief and celebration because i am so glad we are where we are. i just wish everybody cpuld have seen this #this is why it's so important to learn from each other about everything #it takes a village to create community #i have been thinking about that twitter post at LEAST once a month since i first saw it #very complex feelings on this one folks #there is so much left to learn i think but this just hits me in a specific way

How did Treasure Planet manage to come up with the greatest aesthetic in all human history? Victorian elegance plus space-age flair, with just enough dirt and grime and wear and tear to make it feel real? A combination of traditional and computer animation that perfectly embodies the movie's blend of old and futuristic? How does it get any better than that?

#treasure planet #turned it on on a whim #because sylvia's lovers put me in the mood for sailing ship vibes #and it turns out it fits in really well with the north and south space opera i've been thinking about again #it's really hard for me not to give thornton a giant beautiful space sailing ship #(no you can't do it! the point is that they're industrial and purely functional!) #also i've got another post brewing about how treasure planet is an excellent boy's adventure coming-of-age story #and we need more of those because i feel like the genre doesn't exist in the same way these days #but i'm not sure i could say what i mean without getting folks up in arms #so i'm keeping it to the tags

Here's my Eros and Psyche, Ghost/Goddess!reader(love), pitch

Ghost has never been good at love, has always loved too fiercely, too violently. He's never been able to separate love from war, when he found his family slaughtered he understood that true violence comes from heartbreak, from affection, from having nothing to lose. Of course he'd catch the attention of the goddess of love, passion, and vengeful warfare.

Ghost had nothing, he has no one. He wakes up in a soft bed with downy pillows and luxurious furs. He feels out of place, dirty with sweat and blood, still wearing the leather of war. Is he dead? It doesn't look like elysium is supposed to.

He pulls back the gauzy silk netting over the bed and cautiously, curiously, investigates. He finds the note immediately. Instructions. He has free reign of the house, as long as he doesn't leave, and as long as he's understanding. Understanding of what he doesn't know, but it's dark by the time he's through investigating the house. Then all the torches go put, the whole place plunged into darkness.

And somehow it doesn't scare him. He doesn't jump when your arms circle his shoulders and you lean against his back, pressing your lips to his ear. "Welcome home Simon," you whisper to him. He reaches back, runs his hand up the soft skin of your thigh, the house may not be elysium but you certainly feel like you might be.

"You know my name," he frowns, and you hum. The sound is so melodic, coaxing him to relax as your fingers squeeze his chest.

"I know," you purr, "everything about you."

Ghost turns in your hold, he doesn't know why he's surprised you let him, doesn't know why he's surprised he can't see you in the darkness. He reaches carefully to find your face, cupping your cheek, then sliding his fingers down to hold your throat. "Who are you?" He warns.

"Your love," you push into his hold, "as long as you can follow the rules."

Not gonna go out on this limb on a 25k post, but maybe it’s okay that kids today don’t know as much about using an actual computer as we do/did? Is it useful knowledge? Of course it is. So is using a sewing machine or being able to rebuild your VW with a copy of that one book every VW driver used to have. That’s not the right question—most practical knowledge is useful after all. The question should be “is it relevant to the way people live right now.” “How to Keep Your VW Alive” is a timeless fucking classic; my ex and I kept our copy long after he sold his VW. But I’m not buying a copy now because it won’t exactly help me keep my VW ID4 on the road.

And it’s funny, because I tend to read along with those posts and nod my head, because back in my day we HAD to know all that computer stuff. And then for some reason today, I remembered a conversation my mom and I had with my grandma in the mid 70s when I was a teenager. Grandma made my mom’s wedding dress. She worked at a department store doing alterations on foundation wear, which if you look at 1950s foundation wear, you’ll realize was both necessary and difficult. So she was shocked when I said most of my friends didn’t know their way around a sewing machine. “But how do you make sure your clothes fit?!” Well, Grandma, people don’t wear heavy foundation wear any more and clothes don’t need to be as tailored as they did back in the day—it’s 1975 and the only alterations I need to do is hemming my flares so they just touch the floor when I’m wearing platforms.

Now you can back up and look at the broader picture, the one that says, but your car should be repairable by you as long as you have clear instructions, and you should be able to alter your clothes or make your own, and yes, you should know how to organize the files on the desktop of your laptop. But the fact that for the most part it’s become easier and easier to just not do those things (if they can be done at all) isn’t exactly the fault of Kids Today. And it’s certainly not meeting them where they are or even trying to understand why they feel they don’t need that knowledge if, instead of looking at why they don’t have it and maybe even don’t need it, you just decry their lack of the Deep Wisdom.

#idk man #we see shit all the time about how saying insensitive stuff #affects the listener #how can you be on these kids’ side #if you clutch your pearls in their hearing #about shit no one’s teaching them to do? #maybe you’re not blaming them #but think back to the time you didn’t know how to do something #your folks did back in the day #made ya feel kinda dumb didn’t it? #also it’s hilarious that this is about kids not using laptops #next you’ll be telling me they don’t know how to go online using dialup #and then loading something onto their website using ftp #what do you mean yon don’t know COBOL? #like fuck man #this is just adults bitching about kids #and i thought we weren’t gonna do that anymore?

[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]

Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?

[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*

–

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.

Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!

Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

#Pactw #QSMP #Pac #March 18 2024 #As much as I love keeping people updated about Pac / the other Portuguese-speaking creators #I think I might not make as many transcribed posts for their clips anymore #I just don't think I'm qualified enough to be transcribing things for a language I don't know #like yeah we have the Qlobal Translator and Aypierre's translators to rely on #And I'm always upfront when I'm not 100% sure about a translation #but I've been thinking about it a lot and it kinda makes me feel a bit icky. Idk. #I might be overthinking this but I just I don't want to spread around translations I'm not super confident about #esp. since I know a lot of people cite my clips in analysis posts or link them to other people as resources #and 90% of the time I'm like ''Hell yeah I love seeing people getting a lot of use out of the archive'' #but sometimes I get a bit anxious like ''Did I do a good enough job translating this'' #''Am I ruining someone's entire perception of a conversation or character because I left one word out or mistranslated something?'' #And like I said that's normally not a HUGE concern since if I'm not certain about a translation I just won't post a clip. but you know #idk it might just be the anxiety talking but I really really don't want to spread bad info #Happy to hear other folks' perspective #I'm really grateful for people like Bell and Pix and others who translate clips and I always try to reblog those #but we don't have a ton of people posting clips & translating things on Tumblr since we're so English-centric #which is part of the reason WHY I like sharing clips of the non-English-speaking CCs #but at the same time I want to do an accurate job representing what they're saying #Maybe I'll just start posting things and give a TLDR context of what they're talking about but not a transcript #that way native-speakers can hop in and add translations if that's something they're comfortable doing #and if not then well. at least I'm not sharing something that isn't super accurate #idk I'm just thinking out loud a bit in the tags #But I'm open to hearing other people's thoughts on the matter #Anyways giant rant aside. q!Pac is NOT doing ok rn

Oooh saw a theory that the initial infection in the show spread due to contaminated flour, since we see joel sarah and tommy continually coincidentally avoid eating things with it: not making the pancakes, refusing the biscuits, sarah baking with the old lady and not eating them cause raisins, Joel forgetting to get a cake....seems legit to me!

Actually research skills are hard to learn especially unsupervised so maybe telling people to just "Go figure it out" especially if you already know they've been failed academically in other ways, might actually be a great way to just send them to a PragerU video on the topic.

#Like what specific things do you look for in a good source? #How do you develop sources that you can trust to give you new information? #These take looking at and analyzing good and bad sources with a trusted educator #Not being told by someone on the internet that you should “Already know this” #“That's no excuse” it literally is I'm sorry that you think everyone should be perfect but that's not how things are #everyone (even you) has shit they probably should know but don't #There's new people being born all the time they do not spring from the womb with the same knowledge in your head! #And we live in an actively hostile information environment! #Just seems like maybe we could focus our rage cannons on institutions #Instead of individual people who were failed by them #When younger americans bring up how they were failed in this regard they are often asking for help even #And just get hit with this stupid rage at someone else possibly not knowing something that seems obvious #I'm just saying for a bunch of people priding themselves on not being as bad as the children; the folks who talk like this aren't acting it

i don't think I've ever enjoyed a birthday party with friends as much as today i am genuinely getting a bit teary eyed

#initially i wasn't planning to do anything but then i thought what the hell what if we go out to drink something #except it was all very up in the air so a good deal of folks couldn't come (which is fine that one's on me) #but the two who COULD make it are genuinely some of the funniest motherfuckers I've ever met and one of them brought his gf along #and we hit it off IMMEDIATELY and THEN we ran into another pal I hadn't seen in a while and hadn't had the chance to invite in person #who also joined in after he finished hanging out with other people and they got me a present????? 😭 #i haven't had a birthday with friends in fucking . 3 years between covid and everyone i knew moving away #I'm so happy i think my heart is going to explode #which ik. hey isn't that a very boring and simple hangout YES but also not to me baby i have been in a depression isolation all my teens #i started to genuinely enjoy my day to day life like. 4 months ago ever since starting uni #it feels like turning a new leaf yknow? like. i made it. i made it out. god i could cry #sorry I'm a little drunk
