#this was interesting#if van secretly chooses who dies in the teen timeline but can't bring herself to actually hands-on murder someone as an adult...#idk it's got some good layers wrt how much of a good person she really is#yellowjackets#yellowjackets spoilers#one neat thing about the dual timelines is being able to explore the characters' pasts and recontextualize the present even after#they're gone in the adult timeline

I respect an "I can fix him" villainfucker 50x more than a "he didn't do anything wrong, he's just misunderstood!" villainfucker. like yeah they both get the cute domestic happily ever after, but man the first guy has depth they have nuance and most importantly they are actually aware they're a villainfucker
but the guy i respect MOST is the unapologetic villainfucker. "yeah he did that shit and it was sexy" fuckers. "was the wanton murder fun babe it looked fun" fuckers. these guys know where it's at
#love the chart addition because it truly depends on the character and all positions are valid depending#some villains really are just assigned villain by bad biased writer and didn't do anything the heroes don't also do#some are watsonianly-decent antagonists that get assigned villain by fandom#many are complex and sympathetic and did very little wrong but get declared evil from birth and wildly misinterpreted because#of one thing they did#some are more fun to unabashedly celebrate and some are more fun to woobify and some are more fun to be a lawyer for

One fallacy, I think, of anti piracy arguments is that a lot of them seem to assume that if I'm unable to pirate something I'm going to pay for it instead rather than going "oh! that's a terrible shame" and then quickly forgetting about it
"If you were not pirating [media] you'd be paying for it and therefore piracy is evil 😡" actually if I were not pirating that media I would be thinking about something else. I have made the decision to not spend any money on this and even god himself could not shake it
the research on this was already done decades ago and then quickly squashed because the record labels did not like the finding that people who pirated music were spending way more money on actually buying music legally than people who did not pirate music. it turns out people who care enough to pirate media are generally big fans of that media and willing to spend money on it if they have the money to spend
article is from 2009 so we have known this for a LONG time.
The Norwegian study looked at almost 2,000 online music users, all over the age of 15. Researchers found that those who downloaded "free" music – whether from lawful or seedy sources – were also 10 times more likely to pay for music. This would make music pirates the industry's largest audience for digital sales. Wisely, the study did not rely on music pirates' honesty. Researchers asked music buyers to prove that they had proof of purchase.

hello people today i ask: what is your favorite artificial flavor, generally? like if you’re having a new artificially flavored thing and need to pick a standard flavor, what are you going for?
getting to know mutuals!
tagged by @nimuetheseawitch, thank you!
what's the origin of your blog title?
Lyric from the song that my URL is also obliquely from, which had the right vibes for a blog about an obsession
otp(s) + shipname(s):
I'm not sure I understand the phrasing of this, why are otps and shipnames separate? But here's a list of some of my current favourite ships, like if I've sought out fic or thought about them much in the last few months:
hawktrap, hawnk, beejhawk, griffguts, Xena/Gabrielle, Dan/Herbert, Fraser/Ray V, Shauna/Melissa, wangxian, xuexiao, xiyao, and Cassie/Aftran because I did read a couple fics and chatted about them recently lol.
favourite colour:
Green!
song stuck in your head:
Drive by Melissa Ferrick lol, idk why, I just woke up with it in my head today
weirdest habit/trait:
Weirdness is in the eye of the beholder, I really don't know what's most weird about me lol. Probably the fact that I write and read fanfic honestly.
hobbies:
Writing, vidding, thinking too much about movies and tv, embroidery
if you work, what's your profession?
Taping, aka interior finishing, a stage of construction
if you could have any job you wish, what would it be?
Cashier but I make $50 an hour
something you're good at:
Analyzing gay subtext.
something you hate:
Mentally throwing a dart at a big list: sanding (as part of my job.) I used to not mind it, but ever since my sinuses started acting up the dust has become a trigger. I wear a mask ofc but even breathing in the little bit left in the air during breaks will fuck me up for a day or two.
something you collect:
Nothing really, I pretty much only buy useful things.
something you forget:
I feel like I generally have a pretty good memory, but forgetting past conversations probably bugs me the most. Like, did I mention this to you or someone else? Have I told this story before? Have I asked you this before? Was there something you mentioned last time we talked that I was going to follow up on and forgot? I try to be an active listener as much as I can but it's inevitable that some things fall through the cracks I guess.
what's your love language:
I'm not a fan of treating it as a psychologically valid sorting hat thing lol, but out of the options my fave is quality time. I like to go out and do things with people, it's a big reason idt I could be in a long distance relationship.
favourite movie/show:
Velvet Goldmine
favourite food:
Turkey dinner. Turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, various sides, etc. But only home cooked.
favourite animal:
Idk, maybe snakes.
what were you like as a child:
Stubborn, argumentative, confident, physical. I played with the boys at recess a lot for the first few years of elementary school, followed a kid I had a crush on around in kindergarten lol, got into arguments about things like girl colours vs boy colours eg, etc. I was awesome as a kid.
favourite subject at school:
English.
least favourite subject:
If we're talking grade school, high school biology. I thought I'd love it but then found myself preferring chemistry and physics, idk. If we're talking uni, fucking Latin and French, both of which I tried for the language requirement and failed >:(
what's your best character trait?
Honestly I like most things about myself, I feel like I have a healthy ego and that's a good character trait itself. But as for something I've had feedback on: according to multiple friends I'm chill and non-judgemental in a way that lets people relax and feel comfortable around me.
what's your worst character trait?
I'm too passive, and therefore bad at pursuing positive life changes and staying in touch with people.
if you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?
Living in Vancouver instead of here.
if you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?
No idea, this isn't something I've ever thought about or have any interest in lol, I'm not a history person or someone who wants to talk to famous people.
