Sharing this from my twitter because I think a good amount of artists can probably relate to this, ADHD or not ö

[justaluzblog]

Okay but one thing I love about Luz's and Hunter's sibling-like relationship is that it isn't "older sibling bullying younger sibling", they're pretty even

But it isn't because Hunter's softening his blows, no, it's only because Luz is that much of a cheeky smartass that there's constant back-to-back comebacks

Luz gets thrown and tied up? Launches his staff to the middle of nowhere

Hunter licking her hand? Smothers his own spit on his face

Hunter being a jerk? Deny his staff and juke him

But then it comes here

Luz hesitates, and Hunter in turn calls her too nice to shoot at him, so even if she has the staff he isn't scared of her

Afterwards, Luz gets to know him more, and learns that he doesn't know how to survive without being the Golden Guard, about his want to learn wild magic, and that he could be a pretty swell guy

So when Hunter points his staff at her? She isn't scared. She throws it back.

Hunter's too nice to shoot them

And not only that, but throws back his inability to be free

"You're just the Golden Guard."

She not only stabs him with her disappointment, but that "just" the Golden Guard, she basically just stomped on a title that would've been feared

Because she knows, he'll never get what he wants there, he'll only be sad there, and that being the Golden Guard has held him back from his true goals

Luz may be nice, but dang is she not easy, and I think Hunter sees that now

Oh boy.

Do I have a story for you…

So this is the iconic and beloved clock of Moszkva square in Budapest, Hungary. Or more precisely it was.

It was a very popular meeting point for generations.

„2pm on Moszkva, under the clock?” „sure” It was in the middle of the square, so you could see each other pretty easily from anywhere.

When they „renovated” (rebuilt) and renamed the square that is now called Széll Kálmán tér (only by youngsters and tourists who don’t know any better - it will remain for a lot of us „the Moszkva”) the old clock was removed.

So. Removing the clock was very controversial, but it had to go, because someone dreamed about a new shiny one. Here it is. New, and weird and DIGITAL.

The problem is, it stopped working. For days. (you see, fixing it was time-consuming…) And they came and fix it. But it broke down in a couple of days again and again, so the lovely people around helped to fix it. Some of the best solutions:

Graffity: ?Is this a clock? No" and Where is the old clock? Furthermore, on the clock it states that it shows the right time.

An artistic rendition:

But my favorite one is where people got enough of the breaking down abomination, and the heartless people taking down the actually working clocks (it is a very busy square with a lot of public transport connections), and things escalated quickly:

I think this is the most of them we had taped on at once.

The papers state: In memoriam of the unknown time. Rest in Peace

So… I guess, Hungarians do.

[detectivehole]

i can understand the use of large house for a family but what do those single rich fucks with the goddamn true mansions do with all that space exactly? like let's table all valid criticisms of the spending and constructing of them aside and just focus on what exactly you do with that space

[chefboyard-bag]

As a real estate photographer I can tell you with a confidence that most of that space is entirely unused. Extra kitchens which have never seen a meal, billiards rooms with untouched felt, an office that no one has ever worked in, a second, or third family room, that no family member has spent any significant amount of time in. I once shot a place with a walk-in closet so large the dude had an 8-person dining room table in the middle of it.. like.. no one is hanging out in your closet homie.. maybe downsize?

[detectivehole]

this is a fantastic answer, thank you for replying. sadly it confirmed my fears that these people are all insane

[severalowls]

Traditionally mansions and manors had a lot of space because they were the lifelong homes of multiple generations of a family (the lord and lady, their unmarried children and heirs, and various widowed aunts and in-laws), dozens of servants, and rooms or even wings set aside for a constantly rotating cast of guests who had travelled days or weeks to visit so of course they were going to stay a while.

Now there's just Hank, Kate, Keighleyee, and their sterile palace.

[somecunttookmyurl]

#obviously the landed gentry had uuuuuh their own problems but at least their nonsense houses were actual homes

[elidyce]

There was also the Social Obligation Space issue. Take the Regency period, for example, because that’s where my expertiese is.

Travel was expensive, uncomfortable, tiring, and time-consuming. Multiple guest rooms were genuinely necessary if you ever wanted to see anyone who didn’t live within a few miles because if your family spent two days coming to visit they weren’t going to turn around and head home the same day. Social visits of multiple weeks were the norm, and even a month or two wasn’t excessive if you really liked each other and wanted to hang out. 

If you were rich, there was also the House Party/Family Function/Rural Ball/Whatever obligations, where politeness actively required you to have room for everyone to sleep over. Not only that, they were all going to bring personal servants, and you had to be able to sleep them too. Anyone with the budget was socially obligated to maintain a number of spare rooms for both rich people and servants. 

(An important indication of the Deeply Impoverished state of the Dashwood ladies in ‘Sense and Sensibility’ is that they have only one spare bedroom, and are thus very much socially isolated because they can’t accommodate more than one visitor with no servants.)

In addition to this, impoverished relations, widowed sisters or daughters with their children, aged or disabled servants and an endlessly changing number of maids, valets, nurses, governesses, etc might need to be housed temporarily or permanently at any time. Visiting lawyers, men of business, sick-nurses and attendants, midwives/doctors specialising in childbirth, uninvited relatives or even just benighted travellers were also infrequent but unavoidable guests.

(Sense and Sensibility again - Henry Dashwood was required by social and moral obligation to give his widowed stepmother and three half sisters a home. If they’d decided to stay at the house permanently, he and his wife would have caused a serious scandal by evicting them, which is probably why Fanny was such a bitch to them from the outset. She didn’t want them to stay and had absolutely no other way of stopping them)

There was a time when at least six or seven spare bedrooms was a bare minimum for fulfilling one’s social and moral obligations. 

That time is not now. Now it’s just weird and wasteful.

I want a reverse Cruella movie where it’s about this bitch

giving her entire fortune and inheritance away to some cats??? hell yes!! A cat saved her mother’s life from a bunch of dogs pushing her off a cliff.

[ifearzombies]

IF YOU ARE GONNA TALK ABOUT MY QUEEN ADELAIDE YOU BETTER SAY HER NAME!

HER NAME IS MADAME ADELAIDE BONFAMILLE! She made her fortune as a beloved Opera singer! Her noted role is in the infamous opera Carmen where she played the seductive leading lady (Hinting she was a drop dead gorgeous bamf in her day).

She never married. She was a single lady and workin’ it and made her wealth. She didn’t have kids, but she had her cats. She was kind and polite and was going to work her will to leave it to her butler once her cats pass on (which cats don’t live as long as humans so Edgar still had a good chance to get that dough but turned into a greedy bastard). She wasn’t lonely. She had her friends and her family was her cat and Duchess’ kittens and when Thomas O’Malley came with her kitties, she adopted him too.

absolutely fascinated by this raw pixels on an emulator vs how the game was actually supposed to look on old tvs twitter

[ask-maxie-boy]

People say that old games dont look as good as they remember

Its because they legitimately dont.

[crtter]

The “fuzz” from CRT monitors was something that was definitely accounted for and taken advantage of back in the day when it came to video games! While this effect is noticeable in 3D games, it’s MUCH more visible when it comes to 2D sprites:

Just look how much more depth these simple sprites of Princess Peach and Bowser from Super Mario RPG seem to have when seen through the “dots” of a CRT TV screen!

[splitjawjanitor]

The same principle applies to the music, too. Composers took the sound compression caused by old software into account and wrote the music to take advantage of it. That's why so many restorations of old video game songs lack the oomph of the originals.

my brothers share special interests and my favorite thing to do is walk in a room and be like "hey guys can you tell me about the mariana trench" and then sit there for an hour while they both infodump to me about the ocean it's extremely entertaining

[gh0ul-k1ss3r]

and my parents are always like "oh my god why would you do that" bitch. I want to learn about the ocean and these two thirteen year old boys r my most trusted source

I mean, I could google questions I have about medieval weaponry and horsemanship, but on the other hand I could message my sister the simple statement “have question about historical saddles” and get both a phone call and a comprehensive 3 page google document within an hour

Seriously, if you know someone who has a special interest you’d like info about, go ask them! It costs zero money, you make them happy, and you learn way more than a basic google search would tell you.

I once asked a lyft full of friends what the difference between a Honda and. Hyundai was. Their answer?

Italics.

[roach-works]

you know how a chain link fence will stop a dog from getting through but not a fly? this is why microwave ovens have a little mesh on the window. the microwaves that heat things up are much bigger and stronger than the wavelengths of the visible light we see, so the microwaves are caught by the mesh and the visible light waves thread right through.

anyway my brain mesh is calibrated to retain weird science information, especially if it has anything to do with animals. if you want me to tell you the difference between jaguar spots and leopard spots, i can do that.

jaguars have extra spots in their spots. leopards don’t.

also i am completely incapable of understanding what the automotive vehicle named after jaguars looks like other than ‘they have a cute little sculpture of a jaguar on the front’. any information on cars that has nothing to do with animals just goes straight through my brain mesh and out the other side at the speed of light.
