Adelaide's Attempt at Adulthood

Experience all the fun and excitement of me reblogging cute things in a vain attempt at distracting myself from all responsibility. Enjoy.

i think it's cute when americans talk about being from the 'great state of connecticut' or like 'the great state of wisconsin.' not when it's texas or new york or california obviously because then there's the fear that they're being serious. but when americans adopt that really earnest tone and are like 'god bless the great state of delaware' in response to a picture of a seagull swallowing an entire ziplock bag full of cheese-its. I think that's very endearing

Hey tumblr we need to have a talk about something I noticed.

Specifically going by tags attached to images I’ve blogged or reblogged, there seems to be a misconception that marginalia means “any quirky medieval art”.

It’s not.

Marginalia is anything in the margins of a text.

The ones that will get posted on tumblr will more often than not be quirky drawings, but they also include notes, annotations, scribbles, and whatever else. The quirky drawings just happen to get a lot of press on here because, well. They’re quirky drawings.

For instance, see this image here of a platanista (river dolphin) chomping down on an elephant’s trunk?

This is not marginalia! This is a full-fledged illustration. It’s within the text (Liber natura rerum, Thomas de Cantimpré, Librairie de Valenciennes Ms 0320). It illustrates the entry on Platanista.

This is what it looks like in context.

But you know what are marginalia? Let me circle them for convenience.

Know the difference. It won’t save your life but it will make you more popular at a medievalist conference.

that comment about how you should not borrow grief from the future has saved me multiple times from spiraling into an inescapable state of anxiety. like every time i find myself thinking about how something in the future could go wrong i remember that comment and i think to myself: well i never know, it might get better. it might not even happen the way i think it will and if it does happen and it is sad and bad ill be sad about it then, when it happens. and it’s somehow soo freeing

Making a shitty one-page RPG called Oh Shit It’s the Killer. The premise is simple: you’re a high schooler spending the weekend in the woods with your besties. The Killer is there also. He is trying to the Kill you

[that-house]

I say shitty not to demean the quality of my work but because it’s less an exercise in good game design and more an attempt to induce paranoid internal conflict that turns into murder (in game of course). It has like three mechanics and one of them actively encourages you to murder the other PCs

[that-house]

Great news!

It’s done

I put like three braincells into this, so if there’s anything about it that outright sucks, uh. Sorry not sorry, L + ratio + let’s use the 1-page restriction as an excuse for any unfun mechanics

“What if there was a game about being a genre-savvy slasher protagonist murdering their way to the role of Final Girl?”

“Sounds cool when exactly does the PvP start”

“character creation”

I was out in the real world away from my phone what the heck happened with Mr. Collins? 👀

so around a year ago misha came out as bisexual at a convention in new jersey and then 3 days later he walked it back. this event sparked theories that perhaps he had been told to walk it back by networks or companies who hold his contracts, and that he had been forced back into the closet. today, at a convention in new jersey, someone asked him about what position he sleeps in and he said something like "back, side, i play for both teams." then he realized what he said and was like "no no no i'm not bisexual though--actually remember last year when i accidentally slipped up and said something that sounded like i was coming out?" and then he said that during that three day period of time when he was out, warner brothers called him up and asked him not to walk it back. which means that instead of networks forcing him back into the closet, the networks wanted him to stay out?? and he released that twitter thread about being straight against the will of warner brothers???????????????????????????? and then he said that he sleeps on his back, actually.

JERRY: Well! I'm bisexual.

GEORGE: Bisexual! Oh, well that's just great. As if it wasn't enough that you were rubbing all these beautiful women in my face. Now it's beautiful women! Beautiful men! Beautiful androgynous ze/hirs!

ELAINE: No you're not.

JERRY: Wh-sure I am!

ELAINE: Nah. I don't buy it. I mean, Jerry, I slept with you. There's no way you're bisexual.

JERRY: So a bisexual man can't sleep with a woman? Get a load of this! I've been bisexual for 30 seconds and I'm already experiencing biphobia!

ELAINE: No, dummy. Remember when I asked you if we could try, you know [raises her eyebrows, moves her head around].

JERRY: Oh, that.

ELAINE: Well, a bisexual man wouldn't say "No, that's kind of gay."

JERRY: Fine! I'm not bisexual! Just don't tell my agent.

GEORGE: So no beautiful men?

JERRY: No, George, no men.

GEORGE: Heh. Right. I'm gonna.... [points to the door and leaves without another word]

ELAINE: So why's your agent think you're bisexual anyway?

JERRY: I made a stupid joke. Some reporter asks if I sleep on my back or on my side and I said, you know, I go both ways, depends who I'm sleeping with, and next thing I know there's a PinkNews tweet about me.

ELAINE: Why not correct them? They're the ones who assumed.

JERRY: Because I got a call from my agent. They want me to stay out. They said I'm the fresh new face of comedy. And it'd be great if the fresh new face of comedy was a queer man.

ELAINE: And you're doing it?

JERRY: What's the alternative? Say no, actually, I'm completely average. Not a gay bone in my body. I'm just a comedian who made the worst joke of all time. While straight.

Gonna start a youtube channel where I call out the problematic elements of popular media except every single thing I call out will be both objectively true and also entirely unclear what's problematic about it beside the firm assertion that it is.

[phantomrose96]

(voice over to various clips of season 1 Spongebob) "Early Spongebob had a lot going for it with strong writing and smart gags, but the writers really dug themselves deep with problems right from the start. The biggest issue that stands out to me--featured as early as episode 1--is Spongebob's pineapple house. You can clearly tell this was not meant as a malicious choice, rather the writers did not think through the implications of it when crafting Spongebob's undersea home. Yet even with ample time recover or apologize, they instead dug their heels in deeper with this choice, continuing over and over to feature the pineapple house across every season."

[phantomrose96]

"Well you see it's really about the lack of consideration the writers put into this choice. How even when faced with other options, they doubled down on the use of pineapple as a housing mechanism. Some might reason that it was an acceptable choice in the pre-2000's era of television, but the lack of growth over 20 years later really shows--"

[phantomrose96]

Post canceled. If people read "objectively true" as meaning "the fact that it's problematic is objectively true" rather than my intended meaning of "a random, neutral, true fact about the show" then this post is gonna get me lit on fire.

Alternatively I may have actually hit on the true honest way people discourse on the internet and in my satire have become indistinguishable from what which I am mocking. Which will also get me lit on fire.
