every conversation on here increasingly feeling like this tweet
also I forgot to tell you guys this but the other day I heard my dad use a semicolon in a text message. I could hear it because he was using voice to text. He literally said out loud "if you have time, comma, that would be great, semicolon, if not, comma, no worries". it is no surprise that I am the way I am
I don’t care if one of my writing quirks is a sign of AI! I was here with my em dashes, semicolons, Oxford commas, and flowery prose before ChatGPT!!!! Why should I be the one to change? I’m not destroying an entire town’s water supply every time I write a chapter
having ADHD is so funny bc most people think it's about impulse decisions but in reality for me it's more about things that should be impulse decisions turning into Plans because I can't stay focused long enough to do things impulsively. this post brought to you by me unironically thinking "right I had planned to root through my trash yesterday! since I forgot yesterday I better do that today before I forget again :)" like girl why are we mentally penciling "root through trash" into our schedule just do it

So this is the staff one of the ancient hunters uses. It's a seuk-jang (also spelled seok-jang), aka a monk's staff--which in reality would be used more as a walking stick than for fighting, but it's something used by mudang shamans, so it works out, I guess. The bells (which would usually be metal rings, but I suspect Euni Cho wanted to reference mudang bells more specifically with this design?) were used to signal to people and animals that a monk was traveling nearby.
The sort of curved design on the top is, I think, meant to be a ruyi. Which is actually the Chinese name for it. In Korean I think the ruyi symbol is called "yeoui", but I can't tell if that's the name for the symbol itself, or for a staff with the symbol affixed to it. It seems a bit interchangable. Anyway, it's easiest to get information on the symbol if you search it as a "ruyi," so that's what I've done.
Anyway! This is a ruyi:
...although there are many variations on the design.

Overall, it's interesting that one of the original hunters has a weapon that's so strongly symbolic of peace and spirituality (and that isn't even actually a weapon). It seems to support our idea that the hunters have become a lot more militant than they originally were, and that the first hunters may have had a more balanced or sympathetic mindset towards the war, intending "when darkness finally meets the light" as "when we're able to unify the two sides of the war," not as "when the light defeats the darkness."
we've all got that friend who's a little too ²
the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
In the reverse au. Jinu and his mom having a fairly loving and good but subtly strained relationship, which only becomes more strained when he runs away to become a hunter. Still, though, Somi would like to think that she knows her son, that they were always close. They talked. They were gentle with each other, always. But then she's watching one of his interviews, now that he's Famous And Gone, and he laughs at something one of his bandmates said and it... startles her. Because she doesn't remember the last time she'd heard him laugh like that. Unrestrained and free and loud. And maybe--it hits her--maybe he just didn't laugh like that around her.
the general way of being able to tell whether you should concern yourself with feedback you get on your work (I'm talking writing here, but could be applied to other things) is to know how to discern prescriptive feedback from descriptive feedback, and to know your own goals when you're writing so that you can know if the feedback is actually directing you towards or away from your goals.
like. okay. first of all. "prescriptive" feedback is when someone tells you what to do without explaining why. generally it's like... someone is telling you what "should" be done without much of a sense of why it's supposed to be done that way, only that that's what's considered "right." which makes it not very useful feedback. things like "don't use adverbs" or "don't use the word said" would be prescriptive feedback, because they're giving you a hard and fast rule without giving you any reasoning for it.
"descriptive" feedback is when the person describes to you what a certain aspect of your work is doing, and gives you a solution for if you don't want your work to be doing that thing. so like, "you're using a lot of adverbs that don't seem to really match the scene and it's kind of distracting. I get that you're going for drama, but maybe removing a lot of the adverbs might help the scene shine on its own more." --that's an example of descriptive feedback. It's not saying "don't use adverbs," it's telling you what your use of adverbs is doing to your work. and that's actually useful, because you can decide whether you agree with this person's reasoning. for instance, if you want the adverbs to feel jarring and you mean it as an intentional effect, maybe you'd want to keep the adverbs in! and with this feedback, you'd know that you got the effect you were looking for.
descriptive feedback is useful because you can check it against your own writing goals and see whether it's helping you get closer to what your goal was when you made that writing choice. prescriptive feedback... I tend to ignore it unless I can quickly infer the person's reasoning. (even then, though. lol.)

okay heres the thing about why being, as a general rule, kind, is politically expedient. people are not primed to be able to
reflect critically on a profound level about themselves and their actions and beliefs and the world they live in
be increasingly open to complexity, nuance, and ambiguity
be open to major change in general
when they feel a sense of hostility. these are things that are most easily and safely done in a supportive and safe environment. & these are also things that are pretty crucial for being able to productively change your worldview.
it suckkkkssss because people are annoying and hateful and hypocritical and infuriating. and yet pressure does not always make diamonds. if you want people to be more leftist than leftist spaces and communities and the relationships people have with these ideas needs to be one which does, foundationally, make people feel seen and heard and encourages them to buy in to the group emotionally and credally.
obligatory disclaimer this is not saying tolerate misogyny racism transphobia genocide denial conspiracy theories etc etc or even to water down leftism to appeal to whoever. its about presenting these ideas in a manner and an environment that is encouraging people to drop their walls and open their mind. you can lead a horse to water and it may choose to drink, but if you try to drag it there or beat it in that direction, it probably won't. or it will take a much longer time and be a lot more stressful for everyone.
so yeah sometimes being nice and compassionate and seeking understanding is in fact the most politically crucial thing to do. and some people are definitely more emotionally / mentally equipped to engage in that work than others! but idk i think if your model of spreading leftism involves a lot of telling people to kill themselves. it may suck ass i fear
we all know that beinq introduced as "???" with a black silhouette as sprite feels qood as fuck BUT. you must imaqine beinq introduced as "!?"
