Tankhun <3

Tankhun is a very interesting character to me. I think there's so much more to him than we see on the surface.

Some of his characteristics show very well in his relationship with Kinn and Kim. He's a good big brother. No one understands Kinn and Kim like Tankhun does.

We can see more of his interactions with Kinn. He protects Kinn silently, like no one else does. Tankhun recognizes Kinn's feelings for Porsche before Kinn does. That discovery alarms him because he knows trust is such a sensitive thing for Kinn after everything that happened with Tawan.

And why does Tankhun hit Vegas with a tray? He dislikes him and thinks he's sneaky is a surface-level answer. He reads right through Vegas and knows that he's too caught that Kinn likes Porsche and is trying to take advantage of it. Another way for Tankhun to care for his younger brother.

When Tawan comes back, who's onto his bullshit immediately? Tankhun.

When it comes to Kinn, Tankhun is partially driven by guilt that Kinn has to live a life that was meant for him. But his love for Kinn motivates all of his actions in regards to Kinn and Porsche. Even though at first he's wary of Porsche, he comes to trust him and becomes one of the number one KinnPorsche supporters.

Not only does he care for Porsche in the end, but he also cares for his bodyguards. Tankhun is the first one to notice there was something wrong with Pete's absence.

We sadly don't see many interactions between Theerapanyakul brothers. But one conversation, which again shows that Tankhun knows his brothers best is his conversation with Kim by the pond. "Nosy, nosy, nosy." Who knows about Kim's little detective attempt back home? Tankhun. The way Tankhun asks Kim if he found anything and gets serious for the moment. Tankhun is the only one that experienced what their dad's power can do to them in a negative light. He doesn't want Kim to keep snooping for his own good.

I wish we got to see how Tankhun or Kim felt about the truth in the end, because they (and especially Kim) were onto Korn. The only difference is that one was fine not knowing the full truth and was focusing on the people around him and the other one wasn't.

Single shot

Cody makes it clear that he’s never actually seen Crosshair pull off his very best sharpshooting trick before now

He had to ask him about the reflector, where he’d need it placing

But he knows what he’s capable of now

I might have forgotten that this blog exists

Hey y’all. It’s me, your favorite needlessly philosophical lizard-person back from the dead. Or, rather, back from the mess that was the winter 2020 semester of college. After a failed class or two, several slight breakdowns, and some similarly minor inconveniences, I have made the decision to take a break and focus on work this year. Which means one of two things; either I’ll have more time to be posting regularly OR I might simply forget the existence of this blog once again. Only one way to find out!

So. As per usual, I’m going to rambling with no apparent direction and hoping that it comes to something. So buckle in, folks, this is either gonna be a wild ride or an incredibly boring one and they always say better to be safe than sorry! 

To set the stage, I’m currently sitting in a coffee shop, probably looking like that one person that’s trying way too hard to look like their involved in something important and interesting. I’ll make one thing clear: the things in which I’m involved are neither interesting nor important. But! As depressing as that may sound, I’m actually quite happy with it. I like sitting here, wasting my time away clickety clacking away on a keyboard on my day off from work. It’s recently come to my attention that I don’t spend nearly enough time pursuing my hobbies, and I should really focus on doing what I love more often. Like rambling on a random blog whose followers mostly consist of random porn bots. Shout out to them, I do hope they enjoy pretending to read what I write. Do robots enjoy things? I think that you need some form of free will in order to actually enjoy things, so maybe not. Not yet, at least. 

There’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while. Free will. Is free will synonymous with consciousness? I can think of arguments in both directions, but I must admit that I’m inclined to think that they’re two different things. All animals, all living things, have free will. This means that they have the ability to act as they please, but only within their own limits. A tree can neither choose to walk around nor have the desire to do so. A cat cannot build a spaceship, nor can it comprehend what a spaceship is. Creatures with consciousness, however, can both act out of free will and have the capacity to have desires that extend beyond their own abilities, beyond the material world. That sounds terribly gross and fake philosophical, but I think that what it comes down to is that free will is the ability to do things, while consciousness is the ability to want to do things. Does that make sense? Hopefully it does.

Part of me wonders whether consciousness is just an extension of free will. I would elaborate on that, but I can’t seem to come up with the right words to do so, right now. All that means is that I’m going to sign off for now and think about it some more until I can write you another directionless mini-essay. If you bothered to read all this, thank you. If you disagree on a fundamental level and are terribly offended that I would even suggest such a thing as a difference between free will and consciousness, or think that it’s just a self-evident fact and want to call me an idiot, please, feel free to discuss. 

My saying that may just be me saying that I’m lonely and would like a good conversation, now that I think about it. Remind me to go out into the real world, visit some place that isn’t a hipster coffee shop, and make some friends. You can bet I’ll ramble about it if I do.

Since I’ve troubled people here quite a bit, I have some good news, for the first time in a few years, yesterday I was able to admit that I... I, well, loved life.

It’s weird to think about. As a libra rising, someone who has enough 8h, 3h and 6h planets, how do I keep forgetting that I feel alive the most when I can deeply connect with someone? Though, to be fair, it’s not like life was stable enough for me to have a clear head. I’ve been a lot lighter recently too, feelings wise.

I’ll probably return to being a weirdo, and think about astrology, since the only reason I haven’t been paying attention to my blog was because... headempty for days on end, lol. Escaping reality violently, the normal depressed stuff. I simply didn’t think about astrology for a while but I’ll try to? I think, it’s about time I return to learning more anyway.
