#THIS IS A PLOT HOEL

[enriquemzn262]

I feel like USS Samuel B Roberts, USS Johnston, USS Hoel, and the other destroyers of Taffy 3 also had plot armor. Even if some of them eventually sank, they were fighting so far out of their weight class that Yamato outweighed them all by herself. And they still made the Japanese Center Force turn and run.

Naw that wasn’t plot armor.

That was sheer bravery and balls of BRASS.

[etirabys]

Erik Hoel is the blogger who won the most recent ACX book review contest. He’s written some blog posts I like. One of them was about the process of publishing his novel (The Revelations), so I bought it to support Authors Who Write Novels About the Quest For Consciousness, and...

it fucking sucks! Never buy books to support Authors Who! He can certainly turn a phrase, and despite the dipshittery of the main characters, I found them nice to spend time with in a way that most novel protagonists are not. One of them deals with the sads by going back to their comfort read of the correspondence between Descartes and a contemporary Central European philosopher-princess, and musing upon their intellectual connection. I bought the book containing those correspondences immediately after reading the sequence. Basically the author and (many of) the characters pass the beer test for me.

And I liked nothing else about the novel. I have rarely finished a novel and gone, “Why did you write this? Why was this project so important to you that you jumped through all those hoops to get it published? If you were going to go to all that trouble, wouldn’t you want to, well, write something good and coherent?”

It doesn’t succeed at depicting a very smart person who is trying to come up with a theory of consciousness, because all it does is regurgitate a bunch of 101 points about how hard the problem is. Like, the ideal book about characters who are trying to solve consciousness would contain an actual theory that is explained in the book. There is no theory. It’s like writing a sci fi mystery book about first contact where the premise is that scientists are trying to figure out how the alien genome works, and then the whole novel is blog posts about the Fermi Paradox. The author wants to convey the vibe of grappling rather than grappling itself. Yeugh. Like, hey, I picked this up because I as a reader bought into the invitation to think about real questions along with the protagonists. Why not present me with some work?

The plot falls apart. No interest in resolving it in a coherent way. Stuff comes up, gets brought up again, and fades away. Because real life events and concerns are, apparently, just excuses to hang vibes off of. Hate hate hate.

—Erik Hoel, “AI-art Isn’t Art”

AI-art confronts us with a truth we might prefer to deny: human-made commercial art has long been “inhuman,” because it was tailored by and for the ever-more-specified demands of the market. The artist was just a set of hands operated from on high by what was almost already an algorithm of the if-you-liked-this-then-you’ll-like-more-of-the-same variety. I think of one of the pulp writers who would bang out a novel a week by consulting the plot chart tacked above his typewriter, itself presumably based on what had already worked; for an updated reference, think Save the Cat! And a lot of the pleasure serious audiences—fellow artists, critics—have always taken in mass art comes from detecting signs of the artist’s irrepressible spirit in the otherwise automated production, i.e., the human touch, what the famous auteur theory was developed to describe in the case of commercial cinema. 

But then look at modern high art, its more and more desperate, strenuous, and indeed absurdist evasion of the “word coined by commerce”: eliminate depth, eliminate sense, eliminate human interest, eliminate humans, or so says the avant-garde, and then implement one or another formal protocol—Impressionist, Cubist, Fauvist, Imagist, Suprematist, Abstract Expressionist, Serialist, et al.—to make art in the absence of either organic mimesis or organic self-expression, lest you be suspected of a commercial appeal. So the work the avant-garde produced was inhuman too, less human than some of the mass culture they fled so fearfully. 

Not to mention academia: whether formalist or historicist, whether regarding the text as an impersonal freestanding structure whose origin is of no concern or as an impersonal social site where ideologemes converge, the scholars professionalized their disciplines by refusing to consider the objects of their study—works of art—as anything so unscientific as the products of individual consciousness.

Two of Hoel’s sources, Benjamin and Tolstoy, are unreliable witnesses for the humanistic defense of art; their own theories lead to art’s automation. The Marxist Benjamin was not lamenting the loss of aura; he was hopeful about the democratization and politicization of art it portended. Similarly, Tolstoy is a forerunner of socialist realism when he claims, in lines Hoel quotes, that the artist “should stand on the level of the highest life-conception of his time,” i.e., should transmit the wisdom of the collective, not the individual consciousness, wisdom that might as well be automated and programmed. Only John Berger among Hoel’s authorities makes the strict case that art, to be art, must be the product of the individual, though here his modernist sentimentality is somewhat at odds with his Marxism (and so much the worse for his Marxism). 

And I’m not assigning blame for all of the above, for the modern inhumanism: art really is the place where the human touches the inhuman, where individual consciousness must mix itself with recalcitrant matter and with the calcified social to produce new configurations and totalities. To value this transaction most for what it tells us about individual consciousness is a choice, one I agree with Hoel that we ought to be making, and ought to have made sooner, but one that can’t be reclassified as other than a choice by playing with the definition of art. I would go further and say that in the age of AI we will simply have to know whether a given work of art is or is not human-made, how and to what extent, and to decide to value it more if it is. 

We should return to the possibility of being moved by inhuman art when we know it was made by human minds and human hands, even if the artists toiled in a commercial cage or reacted so violently against this imprisonment that they caged themselves some other way. This cage or that, we’re capable of being moved all the same before a Jackson Pollock or a Jack Kirby, before a Samuel Beckett or a Lana del Rey. But that’s because we know someone’s in there, in the one cage or the other, a live soul beating wings against the bars. 

If we don’t know, will we respond the same way? And can we tell just from the surface of the work? Just by looking? If you’d never read Tender Buttons before and I showed it to you and said an AI wrote it, wouldn’t you believe me? And yet when you know an AI didn’t write it, when you find out what a fascinating character composed those lines, aren’t you—not me, I never finished that book, but you—capable of being moved? So knowledge matters first: a human being made this. After that, belief: a human being isn’t just any kind of being. The soul is never a question of evidence but always a leap of faith.

Beyond the Current State: Uncanny Parallels among first-principles thinkers

I’m seeing uncanny parallels across the writings of the smartest first principles thinkers, and the picture is not pretty.

Seeing like a State decries top-down forced imposition of rules and grids over bottom-up organic entities.

The Sovereign Individual advocates for a new globalized class outside the crutches of state actors who will thrive in the post-industrial age.

Balaji builds on this with the Network State, which he argues is the crypto-powered (BTC) third way of life powered by crypto (BTC) vs. CCP (communist capital) and NYT (woke capital).

Tim Urban asks ‘What’s our problem?’ as he navigates the hyperpolarization of society and how we have grown more tribal.

Slate Star Codex highlights the increased distrust in traditional media. Erik Hoel highlights the increased distrust in academia. Institutions that served as the purveyors and pillars of truth in society are eroding (banks included too, of course)

The Straussian Moment by Thiel went against the grain and was among the first to point this malaise out, using Girard’s mimetic theory to diagnose the ills of modernity and eerily sounding off that we may have no way out.

Without the standard-bearers of truth and meaning and purpose, society is grappling with the emergence of new ‘gods’ like wokism or technogods or mysticism or nationalism or tribalism to take their place.

Marc Andreesen declared that ‘It’s time to build.’ because he observed that the West no longer has the muscles to push for real innovation.

Patrick Collison often points to ‘What happened after 1971?’ just as Thiel remarks that ‘instead of flying cars we got 140 characters.’

Truth is becoming more elusive. Individuals and institutions can no longer cope. Technology continues to march forward and eat the world but decels are trying to crash the party. The All-In podcast talks about this every week now. Elon tweets about it all the time. The e/acc movement has emerged to combat exactly this, as are writers like Noah Smith and Packy McCormick who are trying to bring the excitement back.

These thinkers all lament the slowdown in progress because of institutional lethargy, that good times created weak men who are now creating hard times, that the current generation has gone too soft. They are all against the Procrustean bed cast by a a larger state, who they point to as one of the key parties to blame.

They seem to have good intentions, to sound the clarion call before it’s too late for the existing powers, to defend the values of liberalism and truth, else we veer away from enlightenment and regress back to humanity’s base instincts.

At the same time, I can’t help but feel that they are also getting ready for the era that comes after this nation-state paradigm which we have taken for granted for so long.

p.s. there is also an intersection with the more techno-optimist transhumanist ‘bros’ eg. tim ferriss, the CEOs of tech giants, and effective altruists.

p.p.s. all this points to a weaker US and the end of pax americana, but in a plot twist the challenger, China is also weakened in a massive self-own, while the next powers - Middle East, India, Southeast Asia are all on the rise.

[jasmineplays]

Duke Konan and Princess Gunhild welcome the birth of their daughter, Ceindrec verch Konan de Rennes who immediately usurps the position of Player Heir from Konan's sister, the less desirable Countess Hawiz. Ceindrec appears to take after Princess Gunhild's light orange-red hair.

Meanwhile, Duke Konan's bastard son, Alan was caught sneaking into the armoury with another Alan - Alan de Cornouaille, Count Hoel's son. Our Alan continued playing with his stolen hammer while watching Alan (Count Hoel's son) bleed and sob on the floor, which gained our Alan the trait Arbitrary. Duke Konan responded with "Understandable. Who cares about Alan anyway?"

At the same time, the Norman Conquest of England by Duke William 'the Bastard' of Normandy (now King William 'the Conqueror' of England) against the former King Harold Godwin of England has concluded with King William conquering the entirety of England. Seeing an opportunity, Duke Konan takes advantage of King William being England's relatively new foreign liege to conspire a murder plot against King William. The scheme had 95% power and 95% secrecy, but at the last second just as Duke Konan was about to seal King William up in his cellar to die, a couple of servants walked into the cellar and offered to carry the still asleep King William to a bedroom. With such odds against him, by pure luck and RNG, the murder scheme failed on the remaining 5% chance. After that, given that King William has such thick plot armour, Duke Konan decides to give up on murdering him, as King William is surely favoured by God and the cowardly Duke Konan doesn't want to offend the Almighty.

Dreaming and overfitting

I'm not the first person to note that our understanding of ourselves and our society is heavily influenced by technological change - think of how we analogized biological and social functions to clockwork, then steam engines, then computers.

I used to think that this was just a way of understanding how we get stuff hilariously wrong - think of Taylor's Scientific Management, how its grounding in mechanical systems inflicted such cruelty on workers whom Taylor demanded ape those mechanisms.

But just as interesting is how our technological metaphors illuminate our understanding of ourselves and our society: because there ARE ways in which clockwork, steam power and digital computers resemble bodies and social structures.

Any lens that brings either into sharper focus opens the possibility of making our lives better, sometimes much better.

Bodies and societies are important, poorly understood and deeply mysterious.

Take sleep. Sleep is *very weird*.

Once a day, we fall unconscious. We are largely paralyzed, insensate, vulnerable, and we spend hours and hours having incredibly bizarre hallucinations, most of which we can't remember upon waking. That is (objectively) super weird.

But sleep is nearly universal in the animal kingdom, and dreaming is incredibly common too. A lot of different models have been proposed to explain our nightly hallucinatory comas, and while they had some explanatory power, they also had glaring deficits.

Thankfully, we've got a new hot technology to provide a new metaphor for dreaming: machine learning through deep neural networks.

DNNs, of course, are a machine learning technique that comes from our theories about how animal learning works at a biological, neural level.

So perhaps it's unsurprising that DNN - based on how we think brains work - has stimulated new hypotheses on how brains work!

Erik P Hoel is a Tufts University neuroscientist. He's a proponent of something called the Overfitted Brain Hypothesis (OBH).

To understand OBH, you first have to understand how overfitting works in machine learning: "overfitting" is what happens when a statistical model overgeneralizes.

For example, if Tinder photos of queer men are highly correlated with a certain camera angle, then a researcher might claim to have trained a "gaydar model" that "can predict sexual orientation from faces."

That's overfitting (and researchers who do this are assholes).

Overfitting is a big problem in ML: if all the training pics of Republicans come from rallies in Phoenix, the model might decide that suntans are correlated with Republican politics - and then make bad guesses about the politics of subjects in photos from LA or Miami.

To combat overfitting, ML researchers sometimes inject noise into the training data, as an effort to break up these spurious correlations.

And that's what Hoel thinks are brains are doing while we sleep: injecting noisy "training data" into our conceptions of the universe so we aren't led astray by overgeneralization.

Overfitting is a real problem for people (another word for "overfitting" is "prejudice").

Hoel advances this argument in a fascinating, short, accessible 2020 Arxiv open-access paper called "The Overfitted Brain: Dreams evolved to assist generalization."

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2007.09560.pdf

The paper demonstrates how the OBH resolves a lot of mysteries from previous theories advanced to explain dreaming. For example, it explains why dream-deprived subjects' performance fails on generalized performance tasks (which require extrapolation) but not rote tasks.

I learned about the paper from Peter Watts, an evolutionary biologist with a knack for turning scientific concepts into revelatory plot elements. His depiction (in MAELSTROM, 2002) of human/computer pathogenic co-evolution haunts me.

http://locusmag.com/2018/05/cory-doctorow-the-engagement-maximization-presidency/

Watts's blog-post on Hoel's paper is a great breakdown of the explanatory power of OBH, including (especially) why dreams are so weird - a proposed solution to one of the enduring scientific mysteries of dreaming.

https://www.rifters.com/crawl/?p=9844

Watts connects Hoel's work to another paper, this one studying lucid dreaming, in which researchers are able to have two-way conversations with lucid dreamers while they are dreaming (!):

https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(21)00059-2

In very Wattsian fashion, he wonders what this kind of injection of rationality into dreams might do to cognition, if Hoel is right and the irrationality is a feature, not a bug. You can see the beginnings of another banger of a sf premise stirring there.

Hoel is *also* an sf writer, as it turns out, and his debut novel, THE REVELATIONS, drops in mid-April: a murder mystery about "neuroscience, death, and the search for the theory of human consciousness."

[epic-summaries]

British LegendsxPokémon

Kings/Gym Leaders Part 3

Psychic Type Leader:

King Urien

It was hard to figure out what type Urien should master. I decided on Psychic because in the first could of gens it was considered one of the strong types, which is why there are so many Psychic legendaries. Anyway, I always thought of Urien as very powerful and strong, so Psychic.

Okay I’m starting to see a pattern, I like puzzle gyms. Buts it’s Arthuriana, where would we be without a haunted castle? Anyway, Morgana renovated the castle and made into a creepy castle with magic and mystery. There’s rumours that maybe a legendary lives in the castle. In the castle things move by itself (it’s just telekinesis) and you have to find your way to the main hall. In the main hall Urien sits in his chair waiting for the battle.

Metagross’ moves are Zen Headbutt, Meteor Mash, Ice Punch and Earthquake.

Meowstic’s moveset is Light Screen, Psychic, Thunder Wave and Shadow Ball

Oranguru’s moves are Protect, Psychic, Foul Play and Shadow Ball

Sigilyph’s moves are Psyshock, Air Slash, Ice Beam and Cosmic Power.

Alolan Raichu’s moves are Nasty Plot, Sweet Kiss, Psychic and Thunderbolt.

Wobbuffet can only learn four moves, it is its gimmick. The moves are Counter, Mirror Coat, Safeguard and Destiny Bond.

Rock Type Leader:

Lady Laudine

This one may be a little out there. But hear me out.

Basically the way you get to the gym/castle is the same as the original story. But that’s the route not the gym. To get into the gym you need take the water out of the fountain with a ladle and pour it on the rock. This summons a battle between Tornadus and Thundurus. The two legendaries create an epic storm. When they finish, a black knight comes out and you must battle him. After you win the battle, he lets you into the castle and you can battle the gym leader, Laudine. (She’s Rock because rock is strong against Tornadus and Thundurus and she keeps the two from totally destroying the castle, the people and the surrounding town. Sure she could have been an Ice type leader too but Rock was the weakness that came to mind first.)

Tynanitar’s moves are Stone Edge, Crunch, Aerial Ace and Earthquake.

Lycanroc Midnight Form moveset is Stone Edge, Brick Break, Crunch, Sword Dance and Splintered Stormshards.

Magcargo’s moves are Earth Power, Flamethrower, Amnesia and Light Screen.

Rhyperior’s moves are Earthquake, Stealth Rocker, Fire Punch and Stone Edge.

Alolan Golem’s moves are Rock Slide, Thunder Punch, Mega Punch and Earthquake.

Probopass’ moveset is Stone Edge, Magnet Bomb, Thunder Wave, Power Gem.

Ice Type Leader:

Lord Cilydd

Why ice? For some unknown reason I personally associate Cilydd’s castle with winter. I have absolutely no reason for this? Maybe the reason that the flower did not grow on his dead wife’s grave is that the Ice Pokémon kept stopping it from growing? Yeah let’s go with that.

When it gets cold, you know you are close. You find this castle made of ice. You slip and slide. Then fall into a room of ice mirrors and you see a person reflected. You must find the real person, battle them and move on to the next mirror room. Eventually you find your way into Cilydd’s room.

Glalie’s moves are Ice Fang, Headbutt, Crunch and Protect.

Mamoswine’s moveset is Earthquake, Ice Fang, Stone Edge and Take Down.

Crabominable’s moveset is Ice Hammer, Close Combat, Scald and Brutal Swing.

Vaniluxe’s moves are Ice Beam, Hail, Blizzard and Mirror Shot.

Glaceon’s moves are Ice Beam, Bite, Toxic, Protect.

Walrein’s moveset is Ice Beam, Surf, Crunch and Body Slam.

Bug Type Leader:

King Mark

Why bug? Mark is either seen as a total asshole or totally pathetic. I prefer the well meaning but “pathetic” King. And we all know that bug is stereotypically the weak type. In this team maybe Scolipede and Mega Pinsir are good competitively (MAYBE).

Mark’s castle is on the hills and cliffs of Tintangel. You walk the castle, some people will battle you and then you met Mark in the great hall. No gimmicks, just a walk. It’s a popular gym, not just because it’s easy but also doesn’t try to kill you.

Pinsir’s moves are X-Scissor, Swords Dance, Superpower and Stone Edge.

Ribombee’s moves are Bug Buzz, Dazzling Gleam, Quiver Dance and Draining Kiss.

Scolipede’s moves are Megahorn, X-Scissor, Poison Jab and Earthquake.

Vikavolt’s moveset is Bug Buzz, Thunderbolt, Dig and Agility.

Kricketune’s moves are X-Scissor, Sing, Night Slash and Leech Life.

Crustle’s moves are X-Scissor, Rock Slide, Stealth Rock and Slash.

Dragon Type Leader:

King Hoel

Like Urien, Hoel always felt powerful to me. He’s king of all of Brittany. It’s a large piece of land.

Hoel’s castle is in the forest on a cliff looking at the Channel. There are two ways up, a waterfall or flying. When you go through waterfall, you get stuck in caves behind it where you have to fight trainers. Then you have to have to go back up and there’s another cave. In the cave you have to find Garchomp’s treasure and only then you will be shown the way into Hoel’s great hall for a battle.

Garchomp’s moves are Fire Fang, Dragon Claw, Earthquake and Poison Jab.

Dragonite’s moves are Frie Punch, Surf, Outrage and Fly.

Duddigon’s moveset is Dragon Claw, Crunch, Earthquake and Night Slash.

Alolan Exeggutor’s moveset is Stun Spore, Dragon Hammer, Mega Drain, Flamethrower.

Kingdra’s moves are Ice Beam, Dragon Pulse, Hydro Pump and Flash Cannon.

Dragalge’s moves are Dragon Pulse, Sludge Bomb, Scald, Shadow Claw.

Dead Snow (2009)

Directed by Tommy Wirkola

Written by Tommy Wirkola, Stig Frode Henriksen 

Music by Christian Wibe

Country: Norway

Language: Norwegian

Running Time: 91 minutes

CAST

Vegar Hoel as Martin Hykkerud

Stig Frode Henriksen as Roy Toivonen

Charlotte Frogner as Hanna Delon

Lasse Valdal as Vegard Rosten

Evy Kasseth Røsten as Liv Beck

Jeppe Laursen as Erlend Johnsen

Bjørn Sundquist as The Wanderer

Ørjan Gamst as Standartenführer Herzog 

(Mea Culpa Dept: All images from IMDB as I was unable to screengrab. And words without pictures is just so 19th Century, darling.)

Not, alas, a sequel to First Snow (2009) but instead a Norwegian splatter movie involving resurrected Nazis and, uh, snow. Back when there were only three (good-ish) Star Wars films we oldies used to refer to this type of thing as “spam in a cabin”, and the movie is clearly aware that it is working in that micro-genre; see the Braindead (1992) T-shirt sported by the movie-buff (Erlend), the vocal shout out to Evil Dead 1 (1981) and 2 (1987), and, well, the isolated cabin and the rendering of most of the small cast into a spam like substance over the sprightly 90 minute running time. So, it would be churlish to expect anything other than a goofy gore-athon with the emphasis on carnage rather than character. My 12 year old son thought it was The Shitz, and I think he, rather than the Cannes jury, is the intended audience.

Cold (ho!) opening with a night-time chase scene set to a bit of classy Edvard Grieg, Dead Snow swiftly sets the scene with admirable economy: medical students, remote cabin, something murderous out there. There’s a bit of an attempt to define them (a randy man, a randy woman, a film geek, a sensible one who is scared of blood, a sensible one who is claustrophobic, the athletic one who dies to Pier Gint, the ultra-capable one with the snowmobile), but they remain distinct primarily thanks to their appearance. Particularly the one who looks like the pile of ineptitude and privilege currently staining the UK’s political stage, Alexander “Boris” Johnson (luckily he dies badly early on, so that’s, uh, cathartic). 

After a slow bit where they settle into the cabin, and some not exactly tight character interaction makes you pine for the Nazi zombies, a crusty old man turns up to act gruff and dispense some necessary plot exposition. In the unnecessary American remake which hasn’t happened (yet) this would be a character actor cameo from, say, Christopher Walken; sadly I am unversed in the Norwegian movie industry so I don’t know if  Bjørn Sundquist is the Norwegian Christopher Walken, but he is very good here. Unfortunately his character is very stupid, and after warning the “spoilt brats” of the danger they are in he promptly camps out in the wilderness with entirely predictable results. But that’s okay, it’s that kind of movie. Unless I blacked out for a crucial second (it could happen; misspent youth) crusty exposition guy fails to mention why the Nazis would come back from the dead. I think it’s linked to the gold in the cabin; a curse? I was a little unclear, but plot isn’t really paramount when you have Nazi zombies. The arse end of the movie is basically a lot of shrieking and inventive dismemberment. And the dismemberment is certainly inventive; if there was an award for most inventive use of intestines in a movie Dead Snow would walk it. Ultimately Dead Snow is less a horror movie than a comedic action splatter fest, and while it never reaches the giddy heights of Evil Dead 2 or Braindead, it certainly doesn’t disgrace itself either. Unless you think this kind of inventively gross nonsense is disgraceful to start with, in which case stick to Ron Howard movies. “Spam in a cabin but with Nazi zombies” is conceptual gold shlock horror-wise and Dead Snow doesn’t piss it away; no, that would be Yellow Snow.

SOTUS THE SERIES   พี่ว้ากตัวร้ายกับนายปีหนึ่ง

haritu kan ade someone suggest to watch Sotus The Series. then finally aku berjaya marathon sehingga tamat.

satu je aku cakap, perfect!!! no wonder lah ramai gila macam start tengok BL series sebab Sotus ni. 

storyline, plot then the ending, everything was perfectly good. 

then diorang makin Sotus S for next generation of head hazer in engineer faculty.

The "Gear" – or cogwheel – is the symbol of the Faculty of Engineering. It is part of a system of cogwheels which power and run a device (e.g. a clock). If one gear fails, the device stops working. Wearing the "Gear" symbol signifies being a student of the Faculty of Engineering. However, in order to get one, all engineering freshmen must first undergo the S.O.T.U.S. (acronym for Seniority, Order, Tradition, Unity, and Spirit) system.[3]

Third year senior student Arthit (Krist Perawat Sangpotirat), is the head hazer and often abuses the power afforded to him by the S.O.T.U.S system, making the freshmen do things against the rules. Freshmen students are practically powerless to complain or resist any orders given to them by their seniors. Arthit was seemingly unstoppable, until Kongpob (Singto Prachaya Ruangroj) stood up against the abuse. This initially resulted in a strained relationship between Kongpob and Arthit, however, continuous encounters between the two helped transform their relationship into something much more affectionate.

acually aku at first malas nak tengok sebab actor tak hensem. hahahaha. kalau yang lain  storyline macam hampeh aku sanggupkan tengok sebab actor hensem kan.

yang ni mmg aku personally tak pernah kenal Singto dan krist ni. so in this series aku sedar, diorang ni charming in their own ways.

tengok member si Arthit ni, mula nya aku tak leh bla dengan muka pelik dan perangai sombong diorang, tapi dah lama watching this series, as a penonton nampak perkembangan setiap character tu yang perasaan tu jadi berubah.

lepas tu aku macam confius sikit la, in BL series ni sebenarnya sape yang tentukan sape patut jadi wife or husband. aku confius betul. time ni kongpop tu macam flirty gila nak suruh arthit jadi wife dia. hahaha rupanya dia pernah jumpa arthit before this, tu yang membuatkan dia berani lawan arthit sebagai head razer. 

lepas dah tamat sotus tu, then senior and junior berbaik, start tu kongpop dah berani nak try arthit. love story diorang sweet la.

nampak arthit tu mcm syg gilaa, dia macam suka jugak cuma dia lebih pemalu nak mengaku perasaan dia.

aku baru goggle, series ni banyak gila menang award. then dimasukkan dalam netflix, perghhh memang best laa kiranya, bukan calang2 boleh masuk netflix.

bagi aku sangat worth to watch laa, no 18sx scene, but have just 2 kiss scene. hahahaa hoel. 

this is sopan punya BL series bagi aku, even without skin ship pun, the feeling tetap sampai sebab the actor was so perfect to each other.

so, nak remind diri balik yang pernah dibuli senior, boleh laa tengok series ni, sweet2 potong kaki je. hahahaha. teruk punya review aku doe.

by the way, sotus s aku belum habis kan lagi, next week or lepas raya lah kot. 

sekarang bz lagi nak clean up kedai untuk raya.

next aku masukkan gif arthit dan kongpop yang cuteee. heeee.

lepas je arthit couple ngn kongpop, terus dia jadi berganda2 pemalu, tak macam diri dia time jadi head razor, that why org cakap, sebab cinta kita boleh berubah kan.

kalau berubah kepada yang lebih baik, why not kan?

[jasmineplays]

We begin a new play-through in 1066 as the Breton, Duke Konan mab Alan of Brittany of House Rennes whom we've played before in CK2, and whose starting situation is mostly the same barring some minor differences and changes. One of which is instead of being a Diplomacy-focused character, Duke Konan in CK3 is instead a Fortune Builder (Stewardship Level 3 education trait). He is Fickle, Content and Craven with middling stats across the board.

Duke Konan has an unlegitimised Bastard of a son named Alan mab Konan de Rennes who is Cynical and Rowdy who could be legitimised in future if he turns out to be any good. Speaking of Bastards, Duke Konan has a Bastard Half-Brother, Jafrez mab Alan de Rennes who also serves as his Knight.

Next, we have our Player Heir and Duke Konan's sister Countess Hawiz verch Alan of Cornouaille. We don't want the realm to fall to her because her kids are of a different House, in fact belonging to her husband - Count Hoel mab Judhael of Cornouaille of House Cornouaille, Duke Konan's Chancellor and Count of 2 counties within the Duchy of Brittany.

Moving on, Duke Konan's Mother, Berthe de Blois, a French lady who is still alive at 50 years of age. We quickly marry her to pull in a Knight named Nicholas 'the Girthy' Meredith who is a Disfigured Berserker.

Last but not least, we have Duke Konan's Uncle, Spymaster and Vassal, Count Edouarzh mab Jafrez of Penthievre who in CK2 usually is discontent and forms factions against Konan or organises hostile plots against Konan. Let's see if he is as unruly in CK3 as well.

2GETHER THE SERIES IS NOW SIGNING OFF.

I’ am done watching it. even sebenarnya aku asyik duk fikir tak leh move on, plus takut bad ending.

aku tengok juga, sebab curious dengan ending dia.

yaasss banyak yang kecewa because between Tine dengan Sarawat , no kisses, no hugging and so on. they just did high five.. hahaha hoel.

from starting aku tau dah diorang new actor, so takkan lah buat aksi2 macam tu for first impression untuk fans kan.

bagi aku, it be enough. walaupun not enough skin ship between them, but i can feel love sarawat for tine.

it means a lot for me. 

aku mengaku jugak, dari episode 1 sampai ke episode 10 memang macam orang looking forward , high expection maybe.

kind of dispointed jugak lah.

diorang macam quickly wants to end it. banyak lagi sebenarnya boleh dibaiki at last tu.

banyak plot holes. maybe ada season2 barangkali. that’s why ending gituu.

at first aku memang fall in love gila dengan series ni.

then, lepas je diorang dah seriously couple tu aku dah macam tak excited dah.

bila perasan lama2 , rasanya perasaan Tine dan Sarawat tu, macam sahabat or more like brother hood, jugak roomate buddies. hahahah.

tapi kudoss jugak kat new actor Win sebab memang dia boleh turn emotion penonton macam tu je.

perasaan time diorang fake couple lagi best berbanding real couple.

maybe semua relationship macamtu kot, at first je macam try hard nak attention, lepas dah dapat, erghhhh dah slow down.

tapi it’s okay, aku akan keep repeat episode 1-10 sehingga kan aku muak.

tapi ni lah first BL series yang aku betul2 fall in love from the start.

tapi bila tengok balik, series ni kalah dengan tharn type, hahahah sorry.

tapi aku akan keep support Bright and Win.

aku akan tunggu next project diorang.

plus dari awal series aku beria nak belajar guitar la, thai languange la.

last2 haprakk. ape pun tak dapat. tapi faham sikit2 bahasa thai dah okay laa tu kan.

thank you 2gether the series for lighen my days during covid19 ni. sumpah aku taktau nak buat ape selain layan drama.

thankyou for being my first BL series.

thank you for teach me how to love someone unconditionly.
