she's putting out those social marks that are above and beyond having headphones on as a "please leave me alone" signal. she's wearing on her sleeve (literally!) how much she is in pain and needs to be treated sympathetically. it's why the boorish fool is meant to be so skewered to the original audience: even in patriarchal victorian sensibilities, he's so incredibly out of line it's painful. he should be defending her, not harassing her!

the layer here that victorians would instantly know and we may not in modernity is the look she gives the viewer - one of deep pain and sadness, along with "not this shit again from another boring blowhard man" - is directly connected to her clothes. she's in mourning, and given she is travelling unaccompanied, a victorian would likely infer that it is her parents or spouse who have died - someone she is the closest to.

so not only is the irritating gentleman awful, but doubly so to victorians.

thinking of a comment hours earlier

i can't help but see this painting as a prototypical MRA gamergater fuckface. we've known - *men* have known, after all, a man painted this - for a long time that some shit is just plain boorish. it's just not done.

and so from Berthold Woltze - The Irritating Gentleman. cw for eye contact.

finally followed down a hunch and i am fucking elated that i can show via measurement my shoulder is 2 inches bigger than the nonfucked one (due to swelling) and is about 3 degrees hotter on the non-contact thermometer (not after immediate icepack use anyway)

CAN'T TELL ME IT'S ALL IN MY HEAD NOW, DOCS! #spoonie

yes the packing peanuts ARE compostable, hollydog, but i don't think they mean them to be composted in the way you are thinking

my dog is convinced that my package from lush is full of delicious dog treats

so i found the show Money For Nothing on netflix, which is some british reality tv where a lady finds shit people are throwing out and asks if she can take them and ends up working with experts and artisans to make them into things, sells them, and returns the profits to the original owners

anyway the first episode has a lady blacksmith

who talks design with soot and a little bit of blood on her face while eating an apple

dear wlw: if this made you swoon, go watch it

i have encountered my first salty sue at the little macro i have right now (at the start of dungeons, saying hello and warning folks that i'm playing largely on mouse because of my shoulder and not able to type much)

he declared "LAME" and marked me Target To Ignore - while wearing his mentor crown, too

and

i then got the joy of seeing him fuck up many mechanics in a row 😂

an essential and evergreen #ffxiv mood

(and this is one of the reasons medical animal testing and using model animals is SO IMPORTANT because WE JUST DUNNO MY DUDES, SHIT'S COMPLICATED, LET'S GO LOOK AT A ZEBRAFISH THEY GOT LESS MOVING PARTS)

a truth of the world upsetting to many: a lot of medications exist in the realm of "well, we know this works in a percentage of people for this situation, so it's worth a go." "oh nice, how does it work?"

"we have absolutely no idea HOW it works still, just that it works"

so if you ever hear that like, the evil drug companies know an exact cure for something but won't let the public have it... .......................consider: we don't know a fucking thing my guy

well now i want to get Titania in warframe and blast Titania's theme from ffxiv over voice chat wherever i can ohno.gif

anyway, i think like 2 hours playing splatoon is probably enough

it's a game i enjoy but it is hard to do long sessions of because it is TENSE AND EXCITING and so i tense up my shoulders at which point they become Upset with me

so... time to chill and ffxiv
