āIf you saw her in these moments, you might think she was collecting her thoughts in order to go forward. But I see it another way: Her mind is being overwhelmed by two processes that must simultaneously proceed at full steam. One is to deal with and live in the present world. The other is to re-experience and mourn something that happened long ago.ā

Thereās always talk about how two of the most important skills one could possibly have on the internet,Ā āCurating Your Own Spaceā andĀ āPiratingā, are lost upon newer, younger internet users, and itās true, but I sincerely think it should have a less aggressive, mocking tone.
Us internet old timers organically learned this on a younger, wild west internet, when there werenāt streaming services or centralized social hubs. In the old internet, we were all spread around pretty much all across the webspace, in music forums, game forums, RP forums, chatsites, the works. We knew who we knew, and it was a very common occurrence that, if someone were to one day leave any given website and you didnāt have their e-mail, that was likely it, you never saw them again. The exchanging of e-mails, in fact, used to be almost like an intimacy test, something saying more or lessĀ āweāre tight now, if you leave one day, I want to still be able to be in touch with youā.
Iām not romanticizing the old net, itās gone, itās the present now, that isnāt the purpose of this post, the purpose of this post is to make it clear that times have changed, and we need to understand newer internet usersā first encounter with the internet is immensely different from what our first encounter was. Thereās a paid service for everything, and humans will naturally gravitate towards the convenient option instead of learning a skill. We learned the skill to pirate and curate not because we were all just grizzled keyboard warlords back in the day, there simply was no other choice. Nowadays, there is a choice, and donāt try to get smug with me, I know a lot of people that should know better than use Spotify and all sorts of other convenience software even though you should, by all right, know better. Convenience is a fundamental pillar of mankind, for better usually, and for worse sometimes.
And this is a worse sometimes.
Youāre not going to convince anyone by smugly telling themĀ āoh? you donāt know how to pirate?ā if you donāt follow that up with some instructions or advice on how to do it. If youāre the kind of cunt that just wants that little serotonin boost from lording over someone clearly younger and less experienced, godspeed, get the fuck out, if you would actually like to keepĀ āthe old waysā alive, for the sake of these new users, consider appending a little advice on how to torrent or where to get started.
Yes, itās annoying when people donāt just google something or complain about things that are very much non-issues if they just did something trivial, but consider this: You arenāt a sagely genius looking down on a drooling idiot, you are a seasoned internet denizen seeing someone obviously less experienced than you struggle with something not out of ineptness or stupidity, it is simply ignorance, and ignorance has a very easy cure.
Clementine Von Radics, from In A Dream You Saw A Way To Survive; āYou are on the floor cryingā
I think I might have played too many city builder games during quarantine. I just tried to rotate the angle of my word document using the middle scroll button to try and get a better look at the plot.
If it makes you feel better, Iāve been gardening so much the thoughtĀ āThe wifi is running slow, maybe the router needs to be wateredā occured to me last night.
#crosswired impulses are deeply hilarious to me#i was taking a greek class and a higher math class at the same and i tried to decline some differential equations#which. did not help funnily enough. differential equations are still bad even in the accusative (tags via @thoughtsformtheuniverse)
I frequently catch myself trying to ID strangers using iNaturalist.

āLilllium, from In Place Of The Mirror is a Portait of You
I love how Geralt has this ghostly pale hair and yellow eyes and never talks and dresses like he fell into a medieval hot topic and you figure thatās just bc heās a witcher, but then you met the rest of the witchers who are literally just dudes and youāre like oh. oh, so Geraltās just Like That
Hi my name is Geralt āWhite Wolfā of Rivia and I have long ghostly white hair (thatās how I got my name) with grease and mud in it that reaches my upper back and yellow eyes like limpid piss and a lot of people tell me I look like Vesemir (AN: if u donāt know who he is get da hell out of here!). Iām not related to Dandelion but I wish I was because heās a major fucking hottie. Iām not human but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. Iām also a witcher, and I belong to a witcher school called School of the Wolf in Kaer Morhen (Iām over 50). Iām a goth (in case you couldnāt tell) and I wear mostly black. I love medieval Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing black half plate armour with a matching belt around it and black leather pants, a black cape and tall black boots. I was wearing my witcher medallion and carrying my swords. I was walking through Blaviken. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of townsfolk stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.
[ID: two tweets by @ meakoopa. 1. how come Geralt of Rivia is big as a house and has an ass upon which i could build my church but when we meet the other Witchers theyāre just schlubby guys. 2. all the other witchers are giving rumpled athleisure-wear flannel sunday drag brunch but geralt is full head-to-tip folsom fair goth muscle-queen]
an ass upon which i could build my church
like 99% of "men and women are soooo different!!!" comedy is literally just describing the experience of not understanding other people. like it's not that women never say what they mean talking to other people is just like that. it can be hard to understand what other people are thinking. bioessentialism really rots the brain
"women will say I'm fine and then not mean it" yeah that's something literally everybody does. is this your first time interacting with another human being my guy
this is one of the only funny responses on this hell of a post
A Pirates of the Caribbean Take Nobody Asked For:
Will may have learnt How To Pirate from Jack, from the first film and that crazy rescue mission (I mean, the last scene at the gallows says everything to me ā the hat, the dramatic sword throw, the teamwork with the rope ā heās Jackās protĆ©gĆ© whether he likes it or not) And for a while I thought the same thing about Elizabeth, only then I realised: she didnāt learn piracy from Jack. She learnt it from Barbossa.
Sheās always been more ruthless than Will, more efficient, more fierce. Most of the first film, she spent with Barbossa, and she knew he was dangerous. She was exasperated with Jack and underwhelmed by him when they were marooned, and came up with her own plan, completely without his help. She schemes and lies and plays it smart, sheās proud and dignified and she knows it.
If Will was Jackās unwitting protĆ©gĆ©, Barbossa was Elizabethās unwitting mentor.
seeing as I am always here to champion PotC as The Rise of Elizabeth Swan, Pirate King, I am so here for this
Barbossa would be fucking proud.
The day Barbossa realized he had an⦠Heir. A legacy. He was struck dead in his tracks. And then just about died laughing.

There'll be a moment when you realise you're 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn't be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don't talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom's burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won't be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37.
