iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Also, partway through Two Towers I got a completely unprompted swell of optimism for the job I applied for two weeks ago, about which I have heard precisely naught. Let's keep that going lads. My mental health does be fucking GRUESOME sometimes

It gets worse, these days I often find myself going to bed a little earlier so I can read before going to sleep

Every time I see her have to say "because they love you" I'm just like

I do forget how excruciatingly badly the female characters are written in these. I wish I could blame Tolkien too; he had the good grace to just leave Arwen out rather than try to do anything useful with her. They could also simply not have made Éowyn a lovesick teenager 😶

Faramir is such a ride tho. Sweet, kind, loving, sensitive Faramir. A grunge boy in a fantasy world.

The young lads need to be looking at Boromir. That's a solid role model. Aragorn is too much of a righteous vector; Boromir is flawed! He fucks up! Repeatedly! But when it counts he is there with bells on and takes care of everyone. Loves his brother, minds the small people.

My warm take on these films continues to be that Aragorn is an entire fuckboy. Especially in Two Towers. You'd never catch Faramir up to this shite. Or Boromir, for that matter.

SIX METRES I fucking told yiz

They've gotten too long and artless! I think I'm turning into my mother. She claims everything got lousy in the 80s and didn't tune back in until about 1993

Pleasant distraction from today's fuckery

Norma is never seen east of the Shannon after Thursday lunchtime

Ahhh ok that explains why she looks familiar lol. I barely ever watch trailers either anymore!

Sometimes I hear myself speak and just think, it has to be better than this

Has anyone else ever tried to fix their accent as an adult and by "fix" I mean unlearn the generic/neutral/bland/mid-Atlantic pronunciations you assumed as a youth cos you were convinced your own accent made you sound less-than

Remember kids, friends don't let friends go unregistered when they could be voting out the likes of Rónán Mullen and Michael McDowell..

PS I also don't know what mogging is.

On point (a) it's this image and on point (b) it's a perennial no to Tiktok, I wilfully chose and plead ignorance. It's also the type of thing where once you're out of that ecosystem for long enough, when you go on and see what they do be talking about it's unintelligible and everyone seems unwell

- I will look as blank as my (VERY) offline sister did when I tried to explain the humour in Bodies Bodies Bodies to her

Also just finished Louise O'Neill's latest, which was a wonderful nostalgia trip through the toxic depths of 00s/2010s culture, and it occurred to me that if someone writes the equivalent in ten years about the 2020s -

I'm almost entirely chronically offline these days and have no idea who anyone is and my latest example of this is seeing that image of the woman's face doing the rounds every other post and not having a clue

Look it’s a pretty long thread, but in short, if you saw a headline that said “regulator proposes banning children from using unsafe high voltage toasters” wouldn’t you wonder why we were letting unsafe high voltage toasters on the market?
