#i neeeeed fig to go indie it’s her destiny #she promises each of them that she’ll dedicate at least one song to them and then dedicates a track to each of them individually #sklondas seething a tiny bit that she called riz the ball but he won’t stop playing it so it keeps getting stuck in her head #adaine summons mephits to help with her track #you can hear her in the background near the end yelling ‘yeah!’ and ‘fuck off!’ #fabian wanted his to sound like a shanty but fig said it wouldn’t go with the vibe of the album #they eventually compromised by having the noise of waves and seagulls subtly in the background throughout #kristen actually cried the first time fig played the ballad of lucy frostblade for them #summer scaries sounds like an olivia rodrigo song #gorgug gets a sick drum solo in raging for love #time quangle opens with fire crackling and a bird cawing and a quiet clip of ayda saying ‘I love you’ before the instrumental starts #fig stuck a quiet sound clip of gilear saying ‘oh fuck’ and then a louder sound clip of her saying ‘oh fuck!’ in cursed #devils nectar is one of the slower tracks on the album #hall of mirrors is heavily inspired by the events at evil mordred and baron so you can hear a lot of influences from baronesian music in it #fig has a fucking sick as hell guitar solo and a couple of samples from just the bottomless pit in general in infaethable #Gorthalax also gets some lyrical input on it #fig manages to get a clip of riz saying ‘the ball bitch!’ to kalvaxus in freshman year to put in fury of the ball #is this too long for an album? maybe but who cares I love this #a good portion of the profits made from the album goes towards college for the party #having thoughts about fig and the cig fig’s Junior year album #autism (mads) speaks #fantasy high #fhjy #fig faeth #fantasy high junior year #dimesnion 20 #d20 fantasy high #fig and the cig figs

wanted to do a "year" in review, though actually i only joined tumblr in october! so instead i just did twelve pieces i'm proud of, in roughly chronological order!

can't believe it's been three months? feels both longer and shorter at the same time! thank you so much for having me, i'm looking forward to creating more art and interacting more with this wonderful community in the new year!

ps. for fun: if you remember what art piece you found me through, or your favourite of mine, i'd love to know in the comments!!

#some of these are just allusions to the pieces bc with comics in particular it's hard to get 'em to fit this sorta thing! #really proud of what i've achieved in a short time actually... #not to toot my own horn but i genuinely think i've put out a lot of good content pretty quickly ;u; #and of course thank you to everybody who sends asks i can answer or interacts and engages with me and my work! #100% would not be anywhere near as active (or even around at all) if it weren't for your input! fondness with all my heart. #my art #compilation #bandana waddle dee #kirby #king dedede #meta knight #marx (kirby) #galacta knight #magolor

Every now and again I have the overwhelming urge to archive Taka lore, and, honestly? Might do that before the end of the year.

Like, idk how many people know of the comics and stuff, but there's so much going on with this one character who canonically has no backstory. He's the ONLY ONE without a backstory and it INFURIATES MEEEEEEE

And ik I've said this before, but I'll say it again: TAKA'S ALSO THE ONLY CHARACTER IN THE ENTIRETY OF DANGANRONPA AS A FRANCHISE TO HAVE AN OFFICIAL MASTERMIND OUTFIT WITHOUT EVER BEING THE MASTERMIND!!!!

(At least to my knowledge. No other character has had a MM! outfit published in an official source directly tied to Spike that I've been able to find.)

(First two pictures are definitely official (4KOMA KINGS Vol.4), the second two I can't find a source for)

I'm pretty sure everyone already knows most of this stuff, but I just want to remind people just how much about this character we either don't know or we wish would have happened to him. And also he's my favorite so there's that :)

(And, yes, MM! Taka does have two-toned boots as well lol)

#kiyotaka ishimaru #manga #ishimaru kiyotaka #danganronpa thh #danganronpa #trigger happy havoc #dr1 #dr1 thh #mastermind #Also no promises but I'm hoping to translate the Mastermind comic soon and publish it along with better scans of the book #I feel like people have kinda forgotten about the KINGS books tbh #I couldn't find any translation for the 4th when I was doing my initial search of the internet for this one comic #Luckily I actually have the books now #The MM! comic is actually almost fully translated #I just need to get some input on a few of the lines & sound effects #It's really funny tho #I can post a plot summary of it if people want me to #Leaving this here to remind myself to come back to this soon #For now imma go to sleep #It's 2am

the example people always go for with 'taking things literally' is 'not understanding idioms and metaphors' or 'not understanding sarcasm' and that's frustrating for Me, Specifically, Personally because I am a person who has a lot of social struggles with Taking Things Literally but, crucially, not in that sense. I understand idioms & metaphors just fine and, as someone who's primary special interest is the written word & storytelling, actually am pretty good at them and thrive with them. I miss sarcasm occasionally but catch it most of the time and am often sarcastic myself.

No, my Taking Things Literally is that if you say something to me or give me an instruction, I will Understand It Literally. I will get what you said and not at all what you meant. There are exceptions to this in cases where I've learned the script and even use it myself (e.g. the other day I asked my mum "Is this Not Butter" about a thing, and she replied "Yes but it has buttermilk", because we both understood the real question was "is this the lactose-free spread?" because I was making food for my sister) but in the vast majority of cases, I just. will miss implications and unspoken assumptions. I will just completely miss them, they will not register, I Did Not Know They Were There.

Implications in a narrative? I am on it immediately, this is my bread and butter, I can pull a story apart to get to five layers of subtext & implication & theme like breathing

Reliably understanding that the request "Can you empty the dishwasher?" includes emptying the drying rack which is not physically part of the dishwasher because the real request is "Can you put the clean dishes away?"? Not a chance

#me #fortunately I know a lot of Techy Computer People #so I can go ''you know how if you input a command your computer will do Exactly What You Told It To? my brain works like that' #and then they get it #and that last one is one we've been working on #the request is now usually phrased as ''Can you get the dishes?'' which is mutually understood to be either #''can you put the clean dishes (in both dishwasher & drying rack) away'' #or ''can you load the dishwasher & do the handwashing?'' #depending on the time of day & which of those tasks needs done #however sometimes my mum & dad do forget and use ''can you empty the dishwasher'' and then later they go ''you didn't get the drying rack'' #and I go ''you said dishwasher!! you didn't mention the drying rack!!'' and they go ''okay fair'' #ANYWAYS. I AM HAVING SOME. COMMUNICATION DIFFICULTIES THOUGHTS ATM #[squints at this post] [sighs] okay I'm going to add the relevant tag but if this break containment I WILL be turning off reblogs posthaste #bc my activity STILL gets influxes from my last autism post to break containment #actuallyautistic

Emmet is NOT:

sadistic

unhinged

obsessed with Ingo

violent, a serial killer, etc

“a babey uwu” or an “angel” that can do no wrong (please do not infantilize adults!)

incapable of caring for himself

in need of Ingo to keep him in check

intentionally mean in or outside of battles (being competitive and unintentionally blunt does NOT equal being mean)

actually a Zoroark, or otherwise non-human (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon AUs and other similar AUs where everyone is a Pokemon/Submas is not singled out as being non-human are usually OK)

This is not meant to single anyone or any works out, nor is it saying all fan interpretations are bad. Please use critical thinking and judgement here, folks.

And bl*nkshippers--dni, I will block you. I shouldn’t have to say this but obviously bl*nkshipping is NOT something Ingo and Emmet do and is something Pokemon will NEVER do.

Here is a by no means exhaustive list of resources explaining how/why these sorts of depictions are ableist and how/why they are harmful. Please check these out.

And if you’re new here/haven’t, please go to Bulbapedia and read Emmet’s (and Ingo’s) pages, or otherwise engage with the actual source material. It might be hard to acquire Gen 5 games if you don’t have them, or make it to them in the Battle Subway, and/or you might have reasons you cannot get PLA, but YouTube is FULL of Lets Plays that can show you Submas in the games, and to make things easier, @1863-project put together a compilation of videos that contain their canonical appearances! Please do not only look at fandom interpretations and assume that’s how these characters are! Often times fanon has NOTHING to do with the source material, and as of late it seems Submas is getting a ton of works that just throw canon plot points and canon characterization out the window all for the sake of making Submas as miserable and/or unhinged as possible. All too often, despite what they look like visually, these characters are no longer Ingo and Emmet.

There’s is plenty of room for interpretation with Submas, considering what we do know about them in canon is very little compared to many other characters, but there’s a difference between an interpretation or headcanon such as the Nimbasa Trio (Submas and Elesa have only interacted in one cutscene in PokeMas so far), and something like deciding Emmet is intentionally mean and will physically/emotionally harm people if not kept in check by Ingo when in-game he’s just blunt and competitive, but otherwise very supportive of others, including when defeated!

If all you want to do is make Submas as angsty and edgy ooc as possible, you might want to consider creating an OC instead.

#Pokemon #Submas #Emmet #Pokemon Emmet #Emmet Pokemon #Ingo #Pokemon Ingo #Ingo Pokemon #I know I'm taking a risk by tagging this bc of how people can get over this sort of thing #For clarification: some fanon interpretations are perfectly fine! #Other are so ooc these are NOT Ingo and Emmet anymore and on top of that often the interpretations get ableist #Please don't come at me personally and ask me to interpret your work for you #I don't have the time or energy and you should be able to make an informed decision if you put in the research #thank you to the submas autistic joy server for input on this post! #cw: ableism

Tiktok is trying to plan a general strike in less than a week and a half (on sept 1st) and... from the app that could not even properly organize a fake movie gimmick its going as great as you'd probably think it would

#some saying its 1 day some saying its indefinite and uh. the fact that no one can get the facts straight is part of the problem #you can't just shout into the algorithm that you're striking and expect it to have the right effect #it honestly just. i hate to say it but it feels like a kid screaming that theyre running away #and the fact that people have responded to Genuine Non-Hostile input about it being poorly organized/rushed #with 'well shut up if you wont contribute :)' #is genuinely. so infuriating #like. we want something like this to work just as much as you do but this just. IS NOT feasible #this energy would be better put into community building and mutual aid than trying to do One Big Disorganized Push #strike #mine

so many of you talk about the cruel adults in your childhood that negatively effected you and caused lifelong insecurity yet you're still perfectly fine with being that mean stranger to any kid that has the misfortune of existing around you and thats just really gross !!!

#like i get kids can be overwhelming for a various amount of reasons but its not going to kill you to treat children with basic human decency #adults can be just as overwhelming or annoying—if not more. yet if you talked to an another adult the same way you do to a kid #then ppl would fucking hate you and not want to be around you because youre not being cool and witty—youre just mean!!! #everyone has experienced the frustration of being a kid being mistreated by an adult. some more than others #rather its ignoring your bodily autonomy (from sa and assault to hugging you when you don't want to be touched to not letting you #make your own harmless choices like a haircut or whatever). everyone has been talked down to or had their opinion treated like its nothing #or that their thoughts or input doesn't matter. everyone has a childhood experience with a mean or judgemental adult #yet over and over ppl are fine just repeating that cycle of abuse and hatred #like youre a young adult and youre still getting treated like shit by older ones. but youre able to have a drink or you graduated or smthn #so now you feel like you earned that right to be judgemental & angry & mean to a group of people that didnt fucking do anything to you #anyways. this is because im sick and had to go to the store to get groceries and meds #so its a 20 minute walk to the nearest store in 108 degrees bc i dont have gas money and then in the store im ofc using a face mask #like im sweaty and feel disgusting and like shit but this kid was SO fucking excited about his spiderman toy and wanted to talk and #his mom said ‘i told you no one wants to hear about that crap leave her alone’ and like?? no fuck off let a kid be happy?? hes not fucking #doing anything wrong?? so we talked and he showed me the little tiy that lights up and asked if i saw the new spiderverse movie #and i told him i havent! so he asked why so i explained i have photosensitivity and what that means and why i cant see it #(‘even though i heard its super cool!’) and HE WAS SO SWEET... like immediately hid the toy because oh! flashing lights can hurt me! #and then immediately said dont worry because he'll tell me about it so its like i saw it instead! #and like. guys imma be honest with you. i stilm got no fucking idea what this movie's plot is. #but you bet your fucking ass i was pretending like i was following along & was going ‘no way!’ ‘so it's a parallel universe...?’ ‘oh wow!’ #like yea its unnecessary. i felt oike i was gonna collapse and im still struggling to breathe at home now. but also i been the kid #who just wanted to talk about my interests and no one wanted to or was dismissing it. #i know it's not a end of the world deal but i also know that crushing feeling. you gotta be the kindness you want to see in the world yknow #anyways. be nice to kids or im not going to be nice to you. they're one of the most vulnerable members of our society and deserves kindness

I have a gender question for the cyberpunk IF!

Does Rider's sex have to be the same we select for Fury or can they be separate? I'm so excited! Identity crisis MC my beloved.

It will be generally assumed by other characters that Fury is cis -- but you'll have options to gradually change their gender expression throughout the course of that story. Starting with their hair, which can deviate from Rider's right off the bat. (The Initiative and Marik aren't pleased. With that.)

#fury in the askbox #a lot of fury's story is being righteously frustrated and angry with being forced into a role they never wanted #and getting revenge for constantly being made to play barbie doll ashes of hope urn for the masses #who see them as a non-person. it's an experience that i hope resonates with a lot of people #but for me its a specifically transgender one #lane black kettle will especially have some words for a fury who is questioning their gender and sexuality #specifically marik and the Rider Initiative want Fury to look and act exactly like rider did in life #but maybe rider was trans and closeted!! or maybe they weren't. does it matter? fury is their own person #i feel strongly enough about it that im considering making fury trans without player input #but if m*lin r*den can work with the variables needed to write a coming out B plot i can write a better one #oops!! anyway. moving on.

"AI can make art without human interaction because at the end of the day, it does exactly what humans do with art - break each new piece of art down to the quantifiable basis vectors that you've implicitly constructed about 'art in general' and then faithfully reproduce a new observation of that 'art in general' by smoothly interpolating between observed instantiations of those basis vectors.

You know, like how humans do"

#the joke is that it can be argued that if you do art like an ai youre not necessarily doing art youre producing commodities #assumption being that 'art' stands in an internal tension with a society whose subjectivity is shaped by the commodity form #which i think is pretty inarguable - the argument is over how that tension can be reconciled #i think a salient difference to point out that distinguishes human from ai is the countability of the set of basis vectors #i wouldnt disagree that humans do 'break down' art in some capacity - otherwise 'style' would be entirely singular #the point is really 'how many numbers are there between 0 & 1?' #'how many subcategories are these qualia broken down into?' #i think creativity & externality depend on uncountably divisible qualia #some kind of infinity needs to sneak in somewhere to point to the outside #all this to say @ anon lol for thinking ai is like an ontological evil #but also lol @ anyone who treats the form of AI as isomorphic to the form of human activity #taylor series can absolutely objectively represent certain analytical functions - as long as the error is monotonically negative #ie so long as each subsequent member of the series 'gets closer' to a natural representation of the analytic function #mandatory disclaimer for new followers: #human use of ai for artistic purposes is art - ai cannot generate art without human interaction at some point in the sequence #ideology of the blackbox is the same as the ideology of plug-and-chug #(i know theyre the same because they transform similar inputs to similar outputs!) #& im on mobile so cant move this tag back up but i dont necessarily agree w the maximalist take of 'commodified art isnt art' #but i also think there is a qualitative difference between commodified art & non commodified art #& the ai form is actually pretty isomorphic to the value form in general imo #it cant replace all human labor but it couldnt replace any concrete human labor ... #...if that concrete form of labor hadnt become reducible to that which can be reached through gradient descent #also if u argue that the black box of 'ai breaking down art to make new art' is isomorphic to 'human breaking down art to make new art' #then an implication of that is that ai ***can make art without human interaction*** #otherwise if the blackboxes are isomorphic then why have humans in the loop? whats the qualitative difference? #the proper framing is seeing ai as an augmentation of the decision cycle of humans instead of having a 'decision cycle' themselves

TW Gender stuff:

Lately i'm coming around to the realization that i'm probably gonna transition at middle age or at the very least change my gender presentation because while im not sure of what i am now, at the tender yet decrepit age of 32, i *do* know i dont see myself becoming an old man at all but i absolutely do see myself as an old woman

You know that tweet that says 'i think im transgender but idrgaf about all that rn'?

Im at that zone atm

Pronoun updates are still being deliberated so no official statement yet but its looking like a 'They' at least for the near future

#transgender #i just have a lot going on rn #im dealing with this rebranding after i can get some input from a good therapist #in the meantime im still just a he/him faggœt but you can call me whatever you want btw! #me #txt

I'm curious, has anyone ever thought to do a smash or pass with different artists' versions of spamton?

#spamton #i think it woud be interesting #i suplose i could do it myself but #idk i geuss part of me wonders if this would be a good idea #would it be rude? #I geuss i want to check if there would be any problems with it first #I'm also not sure if i have the time or dedication to start and run a whole new blog #so i deffinitly wouldn't mind someone snagging this idea #if I were to though i think I'd want to make sure any artists involved would be ok with it #make it a rule an artist has to give the ok before a spamton can be submitted #idk maybe i should make a blog based off this #suggestive #<just in case #idk any thoughts on this fellow spamton lovers? #I'm honestly feeling very tempted to follow through with this #but i think getting some input first would be a good idea

people who think that ai can replace writers in fields like literature, tv, film etc are commenting on how dull and shallow they think modern consumers and their mediums are rather than how possible it is to actually is to do

#like esp people who talk about it’s ‘consumer reach’ #and how it can turn the ‘everyday man into a writer’ because they think that they can sit behind a keyboard and churn out genre novels #by following a structure and inputting some parameters and doing some basic marketing #but the average reader is more competent than that #people get paid for watts app fanfiction because it’s a passion but that is the level ai can put out. bad whatsapp fanfiction. #it will never put out high merit literature and it will never make true art #and i do genuinely believe that and wish people would stop giving this fad the time of day #ai #anti ai

i think one thing that anti-theists like.. do wrong (?) is treat religions like they're monoliths, which is impossible. you might find that one denomination is larger than another, but there will pretty much always be other denominations, and varying interpretations within each denomination.

no religion is a monolith, and no religion ever will be one. that's because religion is a personal experience to the individual, who will have their own thoughts and feelings about their faith. that is how people are in regards to everything, because humans aren't a monolith of a species.

i understand it might be confusing, or even frustrating when a religion has many denominations and interpretations, but that doesn't work super well as a reason for wanting to rid of religion. in fact, just yesterday i was told by an anti-theist that 'ideally' the belief of magic would be rid of and traditional religion wouldn't change. i know for a fact that other anti-theists would disagree with that and present their own ideal outcome of anti-theism, because i often browse anti-theism tags to get an understanding of anti-theist beliefs (it's good practice to read up on some opposing opinions to get some standing ground! my dad taught me that.)

it is perfectly okay to be critical of religion, i myself am critical of some religious ideas from varying religions! but when you don't fully understand the religion you're criticizing, and you're getting your information from biased sources, or only reading about limited ideas then you don't have the information to accurately criticize any religion. the idea that all religions are strict monoliths is entirely false, and if someone believes that then their criticism isn't totally credible, especially when they can't acknowledge the good of religion.

in the end, individual religions can not be treated as if they are massive groups of people who all share the same ideas and the same beliefs, harmful or not. because that's literally just not true. if you want to improve religion then actually go forth and try to understand it and listen to different people discuss their religion and it's flaws, trying to get rid of religion will only hurt people. (and i very strongly believe that getting rid of religion will in turn hurt spiritually, and by extension culture.)

#i originally wrote this post in the shower after getting up at 5:15 im barely awake rn this is goinng in the drafts so i can proofread it #nothing that has ever existed has been a monolith 👍 people even have different ideas of how board games are played bro #if you're curious; i'd appreciate it if people could read my other post on anti-theism ♥️ #it focuses on how religion; spirituality; and culture are all connected and how getting rid of religion will ultimately hurt- #spirituality and culture- concepts especially important to POC in the modern age (and historically) #to sum up my other post; if you get rid of religion you will hurt spiritual and cultural concepts which will hugely affect POC; and we don't #need to have our beliefs and culture hurt again; no one does whether they are POC or not because white people have still suffered erasure of #their cultures and spiritual beliefs. #ok thanks for reading 👍 its 5:46 am now #OKAY HI it's 4:02 pm ive re-read this and got some input from a friend Yay! we're all good now #anti theism #theism #pro theism #pro religion

i wish i wasn’t capable of physically feeling the presence of someone in a building even when i can’t see them. i know i sound insane but theres like 4-5 people i have a psychic connection with whether i like it or not. im sitting in a cafeteria with like 100 ppl n im by a hallway that leads to a door on the side of the building n someone will go in or out every 5 minutes or so n you know bc its a loud squeaky door. n like the 7th time i heard it open the guy i had planted myself here specifically to say hi to i had the impression it was him before he even like emerged from the enclosed area. and it was of course. its almost annoying i dont want to be so aware

#i heard it n my body language started shifting n i was like oh it must be him bc im having an involuntary response n it wassss #happens with a guy i work with too he’s never consistent on when he shows up but i still can feel whether or not hes in the building #or ill get like. this is REALLY strange but sometimes i close my eyes n i get flashes of visuals or sound #like im seeing or hearing from another persons perspective #so one time i was in the shower n i got a flash of a certain song that i only hear in the store n i saw a bit of the freezer section #n i was feeling bold n strange so i texted the guy like are they playing this song right now #n he said . yes why n i just ignored it i wasnt about to explain i had a brief experience where i could see through his eyes. #smells too the smells are the most intense indicator that my mind is recieving input from someone elses senses #idk if ive told all my psychic smell stories though #ofc reading the story its more likely that the song just popped into my head as a random thought bc i am familiar with every single song #they play in the store and i know what time he stocks frozen stuff #but its more fun for me to believe i can briefly look through the eyes of another person. for some reason i find this enjoyable
