I LOVE GINA LESTRADE

@fratbrokayfaraday

things i post/reblog about include elsbeth, ace attorney, bay area sports, and random bits and bobs. prescriptivists DNI!!!

hello! i've been thinking maybe i should make a post to pin (a pinned post, if you will) so here goes

who am i?

i'm too awesome to sum up in a textpost. my url is fratbrokayfaraday, so you can call me any sort of shortened form of that (or the whole thing if you wanna commit), or you can call me zadie

also my pfp is by @potato-art-torney!!! and note that i used to be known as purplemonkeypuppet

dni

prescriptivists!!! if you don't know what a prescriptivist is please look it up or ask me.

beyond this blog

i have a sideblog @nimbay19 where i blorbopost about the bart anime mascots and if you follow that and interact with my posts i will love you forever. the barrier to entry is so low like the canon is a single webpage. linked above

also i'm on ao3 with the same username as this blog. check out my ace attorney longfic the green grass grows all around! it's about baby phoenix, miles, and larry. updates every tuesday and friday!

what to expect

i am a fan of saying things, so expect posts where i do that. i also reblog a good number of things that are often neither here nor there

my original intention was for this to be an elsbeth blog, but i'm not really in the fandom anymore. however, if you are to understand me you must understand that elsbeth tascioni is literally me. you don't need to know who she is but you need to know that she is important. and always will be.

these days, my main fandom is ace attorney. gina lestrade is the best character in anything ever and i love her more than words can express. i also like the og trilogy and investigations, but i have no interest in the sequel trilogy. ask me about miles edgeworth's grandma.

other fandoms may include but are not limited to: snapcube's do no harm, sf bay area sports teams, hunger games (especially the ballad of songbirds and snakes), minecraft: story mode, hatoful boyfriend, ouran high school host club (this one might be turning into the main one tbh we'll see)

am i evil?

i don’t know, fuck around and find out (spoilers i'm not, evil is a paradoxical concept cause if it's inherent then it's not the person's fault and if it isn't then they need support not punishment)(also i'm pretty chill i think)

identity stuff

again fuck around and find out

chibi nimbus x riku: do no harm stuff (regardless of relevance to my weird platonic selfship)

chibi nimbus re: [topic]: you get the picture

all sports should have a mini golf equivalent. table tennis kind of understands the job but it lacks cheesy obstacles. where are the tiny windmills in my table tennis.

when i made that post about how doctors have sometimes treated my fashion as a symptom and i think that’s weird and a bunch of people were in the comments like well actually it is important to write down when a patient is dressed atypically for social norms because that is actually a sign of them having crazy person attention seeking disorder☝️and it’s like. i’m sorry do you not look at that and feel kinda disgusted. because sure i may be off my rocker in some’s eyes but i don’t think me being into cute clothes (or the fact i wear women’s clothes as a trans man) is an indicator of my sanity. also people were saying that and then giving the example of someone wearing a tshirt in a snowstorm, and it’s like. sure. but we aren’t talking about that. are you not even a little critical of any stray from social norms being a diagnostic key

growing up cartoons exposed me to the concept that camels can have 1 or 2 humps, but never explained that these were separate species of camel. in my head i assumed it to be a sorta pokemon situation

a pokemon situation???

idk that some of them just naturally level up an evolutionary stage. or a pokemon card situation where some are holographic (2 humps) for no discernible reason. idk i was 8

what's cooler than them being different species is that they also lived in different historical regions

it's hilarious to me to imagine someone from a One Camel Hump culture going abroad and coming home with tales of "no seriously i rode a camel with TWO humps. TWO HUMPS." i'd be like uh-huh sure, what the fuck ever hakeema. we're already friends stop trying to impress me

sounds like someone didn't watch zoboomafoo

Tragedy! You set out to read a negative review of a piece of media you dislike, only to find that the critic is being completely unfair to it and making a bunch of bad, unsupportable arguments.

Me: “Disney live action remakes are soulless cash grabs that deny the original writers and artists the credit they deserve” Some fucking chud: “Exactly! They never should have started wokeifying all their movies” Me:

Wip wip wip again

Got Kairi done I wanna draw destiny trio but like their do no harm versions right

Sora and Riku left to go (and I might change some stuff about Kairi still the best idea I had so far was also giving her a medical coat (???) like that🥹🥹 and her scalpel ofc)

your strengths are harder to see than your weaknesses because the problems you're good at solving don't appear as problems, because you're so good at handling them before they become problems... unlike the relatively rare problem that becomes a crisis, which demands undue attention. it's sort of like a reverse survivorship bias. the problems that become noticed as problems, the moments where you notice your capacity has a gap, are only the ones that aren't cut off at the pass by your strength and capability, before they become problems. so if all you focus on is problems then all you'll see is your weaknesses. which isn't accurate
