Video of Long COVID researchers responding that yes, they still mask indoors, primarily because they don't want LC.

If the smartest minds studying this condition are “wearing a mask because they are concerned about developing #LongCovid” — don’t pretend you know better than them. Just acknowledge you’re OK rolling the dice.

i saw an angel today. he came to collect the debt

#sorry Corvo i wanted your face out again. the mask is cool af and i'll draw it one day. just not today. #I'm not fully satisfied with how it turned out. the colors are nice but the combination itself is nuclear #maybe I'll revisit it later and fix a couple of things but for now I'm done #out of sight out of mind #dishonored #daud #corvo attano #i really hope the composition is readable and doesn't look weird. i can't give it a sober opinion bc i spend too much time staring at it ha #daud looks dope though. maybe the only thing I'm sure about in this pic #tumblr PLEASE don't ruin the quality #art tag

Looking at r/Deltarune to see what theories ppl have come up with based on That One Valentine and it’s soooooooo funny to me that every single post about it is the same. Actual quotes from the subreddit:

“How do we know this is gaster”

“Why else would it mention the letter being impossible to understand at the start”

“It doesn’t have the signature stilted tone gaster’s always had”

“It doesn’t read like gaster in English at all”

“I feel like the beginning narration, the all caps, and the style of writing clearly point to gaster”

“We have no real reason to think he’d talk this way… ever”

It’s back and forth with these general opinions, especially of ‘oh that’s not how he talks’ and I’m just sitting here like

1. When you are a scientist, you do not necessarily talk the same in academic contexts as you do in casual contexts. For the most part, I speak COMPLETELY differently from my papers I’ve written for school compared to when I’m flirting with my partner.

2.

#utdr newsletter #utdr valentines #gaster #nova posting #shitpost #sorrrrrrrrrry I’m just like. I codeswitch based on the context for masking reasonsssssss #I fully believe one person could speak both like gaster and the unknown sender of the long Valentine #bc **I** speak like both of those #do I think it’s gaster? maybe! no solid opinion! #id like it to be! #but also ppl are like ‘oh that’s not what his personality is like’ WE DONT KNOW HIS PERSONALITY BESTIE #we have so little gaster info + of what we DO have idr how much is 100% confirmed to BE gaster #a LOT of it is red string sorta stuff I don’t think you can prove or disprove anything atm

controversial i know but yes, malevolent is a queer story.

no, jarthur are not /r gay.

yes, malevolent is unintentionally queer.

no, this does not take away from the queerness actual queer people have found in it.

#sorry i woke up today and chose to cause problems #and i needed to get this out of my system it's been eating at me for so long #i know there's people in this fandom who are going to disagree with this so please remember #this is my opinion and it's okay if you don't agree ❤️‍🩹 #actually if you disagree i'd rather have a constructive discussion about it because i think it's a genuinely interesting topic to engage in #rather than idk getting upset about it #masked #malevolent #malevolent podcast #arthur lester #john doe #unhinged aromantic

I feel like Ogerpon may've ultimately had better development than Terapagos

Like. The turtle is what the whole game has been building up to the entire time, but for some reason to me the Funny Ogre has a fuller story? More satisfying?

Don't get me wrong, I loved the Indigo Disk, but when I caught Terapagos I was like "SWEET cool turtle son boy". as opposed to when I caught Ogerpon where I was like "If anything bad happens to her i'll kill everyone and then myself"

#I think the story pivoted to focus more on Kieran as opposed to the turtle in that regard #indigo disk spoilers #terapagos #ogerpon #quikyu banter #Is this a biased opinion because I'm number 1 ogerpon fan? Perhaps #AND THERE'S MORE TEAL MASK STORY ON THE WAY TOO!

i maintain that the reason goro sucks at cooking is bc he absolutely cannot for the life of him experiment with it. he can follow instructions fine but if there's vague terms or if something says to eyeball it he's completely lost. that, and goro cannot stand having to do multiple things at once and will absolutely burn a building down because he wasn't keeping a close enough eye on the stove. this is what makes akira so good at cooking, on the other hand--he thrives at experimenting and taste testing and the chaos of the kitchen is something he lives for.

HOWEVER. goro is very good at following a step-by-step guide. he is extremely meticulous. he is capable of being precise with measurements. so once he's introduced to it, goro becomes an incredible baker. it even becomes therapeutic, a method of relaxing after a long day. akira hates baking for the same reasons goro loves it, but loves having yummy tasty treats, so baking becomes goro's forte.

unfortunately, being the friend who brings baked goods to every hangout means goro is not escaping the has-a-sweet-tooth allegations anytime soon.

#if you're curious I do think goro has a sweet tooth. or did as a kid. but had to play it up for the cameras so much #and food became such a Means To An End (like everything else) that he stopped caring abt taste and grew resentful of the sweet tooth #shtick just like he grew resentful of the detective prince as a whole. so he isn't *lying* when he says it's for the cameras #but he also isn't telling the truth either. ofc the sweet tooth thing is a lie just like everything about the detective prince is a lie #<- delusional. the mask is just as much a part of him as what it disguises #baby goro loved his mother's pancakes is what im saying. back when she still cooked for him........ #(so pancakes and sweets are also associated with his mother. which only complicated his feelings even further) #so yeah! that's my opinion on the does goro like sweets thing #well yes but actually no but actually yes #sera posts #goro akechi

About those new masks..

So i saw this take a few times already and i have some thoughts. Obviously it's paraphrasing but you'll see these a lot similar to this if you scroll in ST spaces since yesterday:

"These new masks have too much personality, they said the people behind the music is uniportant but they now have this new personalized look instead of the uniform sleek minimalist one and it is the direct opposite of what they are saying. These new looks do not fit Sleep Token"

Let me preface this: I'm not going to explore specific reasons why people might hate on the masks because... No i refuse to go there, but i will talk about the issues i have around this a bit.

No.

If you are hating on the new masks so much so as to cry about that "this is not what they supposed to be about" you are missing your own point. You are in fact shooting the opposite direction. You are no longer in it for "just the music" but you are very much caught upon the "everything else beside the music." You got distracted. You putting the blame on them instead on yourself for loosing your own point.

There is no moral highground in this whole ordeal. Please respect yourself enought to try not to look utterly stupid if you frothing about something you visibly misunderstood. Do not hide behind excuses. Do not put this on the artists. Own up to the fact that you simple don't like it.

Admit that it's your opinion purely; because ultimately the artist creating their own art will understand creative choices behind their creations more than you ever will. No matter how far you try to bend backwards.

The masks fit Sleep Token because it is Sleep Token who decided to have them. End of story. You can hate it all you want but it is still part of the shabang now. And don't try to mask your distaste over visuals with shouting about the artist not understanding their own ideology.

If you are so hung up on how they look like, more than what the music still is, than stop and think for a second please.. You have it backwards. If you really truly only care about the music, what it is about, what it gives you, than you are not going to give a shit what they are wearing on stage.

Maybe in a passing few sentences but otherwise you are not going to be worked up about it to the point you sent hatecomments to the artist who made them.. It is shameful.

Besides i hate to break it to people but they already had their personalities with their outfits just not this strongly. III had the random whacky shit. IV had the hint's of this comfy leisurly punk-ish techwear whatever going on besides the fancy stuff the past a months since the summer. II had a slightly sleeker but maybe sort of tech-ish look which is now reflected (in my opinion) much more strongly with this new look (which sorta reminds me of a stylized oni or something tbh and that is extremely in line with their older far-east inspired thematics visually, just saying).

They are not handing you the "we are unimportant" part anymore. They are not spoonfeeding it to you. Not in the way they had before at least. They presume you are mature and smart enough at this point to get it. To get to the conclusion that it is unimportant what they look like. And allow them to still have fun with it.

Or just they are being cheeky and went for something that would shake up the people. I don't know, i don't know them or anyone close to them. I don't have answers. But they are trying something new an it is perfectly fine.

Also which would have come off so much differently if Vessel is 100% btw. Be honest, if they would have been able to perform to their fullest abilities, far less people would be so loud over this.. This was just an unfortunate turn of events and when shit hits the fan it usually never just one dose. And my heart breaks for the boys for all this.

Besides, people were so loud about hating that "they looked the same" and "so hard to distinguish" and "easy to replace because of this" ... now they have personalized masks and looks and the same people cry about the exact opposite they did before..

Also it just occured to me that this is basically the same as the lightshow upgrade. It gives you something to look at at the rituals. The new looks are visually interesting, and with the lighting setup they have now they are gonna look like some seriously fun nightmare creatures btw. I love that already.

So all in all i don't know, i don't really have a point here i guess, but the boys are in such a no win situation right now and i hate the fact that people are shitting on them just because they don't fit their idea of "an anonymous collective" anymore. Which is reddiculous and sad because nothign has changed.

It never was about being a blank page. It was about being human. It flies over so many peoples head but the anonymity part isn't about not being a person under there. It is being about that person not having a name. It doesn't matter if the person has a personality or not. What matter there is that no name.

There is no definitiveness. It gives an open invitation for anyone to step into that person but first you need to recognise that there is a person there. And there is no doing that if there are no traces of personality. Or humanity if you will because personalities makes us humans. Don't make me hold a philosophy lecture here on what it means being human please.

It does not matter who that individual it is by tagging a name on them. But it is extremely important that there is a person there. Otherwise there is no connection point. If there is no person there is nothing to understand. But it does not matter how that person looks like. It does not matter what the person wears. Or what that person is called. What matters is that it is a human being. And as such you can understand it. Our at least you should be able to.

Regardless of the design of a mask.

#there is so much more there i could bring up and talk about but i have stuff to do today so i can't get hung up on it too much #but i hope it comes through what i'm trying to convey here #i'm not trying to hate on people not liking the masks because it is an extremely valid opinion #i hate people trying to mask it as a thing about sleep token loosing sight of their own thing #please do not try to hide behind stupid shit like 'this is not what they talked about' #cut the bullshit #grow up #and own up to the fact that you are visually do not like something #there is no need for a moral high horse in this case #you can dislike something for the aesthetic #but again. please do yourself a favour and try not to look utterly stupid about something you only half understand appearently #i'd say i'm sorry if i offended anyone here but i'm prepared for getting shit over this anyway so no i'm not apologizing #if you feel offended by this maybe this is your reminder that maybe you should think it through why you feel targeted #✌🏻 #sleep token

Michael Peluso, MD: "I'm very strict, actually, about 😷." Ziyad Ai-Aly, MD: "Yes, primarily because of Long C0vid. I don't want Long C0vid."

me everytime anyone on youtube begins their take about totk saying it's "one of the best stories in the franchise"

#thoughts #totk #totk critical #when will my brain return from the imprisoning war... #it genuinely makes me feel like I'm not seeing the same end result as other people #that I'm having a stroke everytime I launch the game and I'm incapable of seeing whatever everyone else is seeing #because like #when it comes from newcomers to the franchise that only ever played botw I can excuse it #but people who have been with the franchise for decades??? #have you guys not played majora's mask? wind waker? twilight princess? literally any other zelda game???? #what are you guys seeing??????? #even beyond the Everything Discussed To Death #the main quest dialogue would have you *laughed out* of most half-competent writers' room!!!! #that this opinion comes from a lot of gamers who would nitpick any other game to death in that department and are fine with this??? #I will never understand

For soap it's less the animosity, and more... ambiguity(?). It just has a certain umph. Like no matter how you look, no matter what it represents I still love you, I love you more for it, I'm attracted to it.

For ghost... he enjoys something who xan pick him up. He gets embarrassed, but at the same time so so giddy. Also like- you have me, just as much as I have you
