people have pointed this out before but I love how the death note jdrama highlights how needlessly cruel L is capable of being..... calling Light (and the other Kira suspects) early in the investigation to falsely accuse him of being Kira just to see how he'd react, taunting Light relentlessly while he was imprisoned and interrogated, and of course the mock execution. all while knowing no one can really stop him. the jdrama really said "btw don't forget this guy's an ASSHOLE"

#light had to solo that mock execution in the drama too no misa no kira just a boy staring down the barrel of a gun held by his father #drama light isn't exactly a saint but he certainly isn't as adept at handling such brutal psychological warfare like animanga light was lol #L is an asshole and we love him for it but he's still an asshole #death note #death note jdrama #death note drama #death note tv drama #l lawliet #light yagami #there were the little funny taunts like him going to the misa concert and hiring lookalikes to swarm the place #so misa couldn't figure out which one he was and discover his name #or that time during the yotsuba infiltration where he tricks light into running full force into a closed door #but by god when you think about it for too long some of the earlier stuff is brutal for someone they only knew to be a suspect at that poin #there is an element of horror in imagining the level of power L actually holds as the world's greatest detective #even in the animanga it's like..... if this is the shit he gets away with when there are cops present...... #I know that the kira case was unprecedented and it forced him to do things he normally wouldn't do (like going out in public for example) #but surely this can't be the first time he's staged a mock execution right...

I'm calling it; Super Mario Bros movie sequel has Wario and Waluigi as the antagonists, something about their relationship will highlight an issue Mario and Luigi have with theirs causing a wedge between the latter two. The whole movie is about this issue (something to do with Luigi being in Mario's shadow and needing to find independence and learning to be braver or something). Daisy comes in and she helps Luigi with his journey to find his sense of self confidence separate from Mario (Daisy is very assertive and bold, this will foil with Luigi's cowardly and fearful nature in a way that gets him character development). He falls in love with her bold and brash nature, though this needs time to develop so nothing will come of Luigi's feelings yet and it'll just be him simping, however because of the setup in the first movie the romance that will happen will be with Mario and Peach. Peach gets a backstory and an identity crisis when she learns where she's from (people have been speculating she's from space or something), and Mario helps her get through that by reminding her about all the wonderful things she has done and how she's a girboss and these things are being said in a way that very much suggests that Mario catches feelings for her and it'll happen at least 3 times where he says shit like this and they both blush and look away before the end of the movie. On Mario's end, Peach helps him realize that Luigi needs to learn to take care of himself and that Mario needs to learn to live his life not being Luigi's protector 24/7, which he will do by prioritizing a romance with Peach and there's gonna be some really cheesy line about it somehow that reveals his feelings to her that you'll see coming from a mile away because its fucking Illumination they literally invented the word predictable oh my fucking god.

Also Yoshi.

#illumination hire me so i can fix your shitty studio #first thing im doing is purging any and all evidence regarding the existence of the minions #there will be one final minions movie where the minions are tried for violating the Geneva Convention and get shipped to guantanamo #where they are given a public execution by way of an Aztec ritual sacrifice #where was i going with this #right illumination is predictable #but if they make bowuigi canon then all is forgiven #illumination #super mario bros #super mario bros movie #mario #mario movie #luigi #princess peach #daisy #honestly i would actually froth at the mouth of we got rosalina #i want her so bad #in both senses of the phrase #rosalina my beloved #illumination would never be so based yet i yearn no less

"he could stop her if he turned her in for blood magic" YOUR MIND!!!! YOUR BIG BEAUTIFUL MIND!!!

This is just fan mail--I recently got back into playing Dragon Age and your posts are absolutely top tier, thanks for all the amazing head canons and the thoughtful takes!

thank you!!!

i think that’s the most interesting thing abt alistair and minerva tbh like literally templar-trained and blood mage... even when she spares loghain he’d never tell anyone and even when he abandons her she’d do blood magic in front of all the templars in the world to protect him. that’s how it is

#they r so important 2 me... #minerva surana #i actually had an alternate endings for minerva concept where she uses blood magic to save alistair’s life #from an assassination attempt at a public event. and as a concession to her status she gets made tranquil instead of being executed #like that’s the kind of risk she’d take. and she won’t write to him if he doesn’t write to her first

becoming more invested in one random side character who is fucking dead by the time my main plot starts than the actual protagonist is just a rite of passage for my writing process at this point

#big oc ramblingin the tags warning u h. #save me melisadd...... isa............ #a horrible ugly name for a horrible ugly guy #however. every lover is a soldier. etc etc. #yes he gets killed because of his own ambition but he also gets killed because of his devotion to his city. and by extension his paradoxica #devotion to rhys (who has become the city itself in a weird parasitic sort of way). he hates what rhys stands for and he hates his idealism #and his tyranny andsuch but they have such a fucked up (literally) cannibalistic relationship going back to faustus and the ivy war #that neither of them can function without the other. rhys' fate is sealed the moment he kills isa because theres no-one left to balance him #out and challenge his plans. and he spirals from this genius up-and-coming ruthless commander willing to do anything to keep his home safe #into a lazy power-hungry beast relying on the prestige of his ancestors and the fear of the people to keep him fed. and he misses isa #as much as he hates to admit it #and he misses argent and he misses what they all had and as he gets older he starts losing the ability to distinguish between the past and #the present. hence the public display of argent's innards and isa's rotting corpse being dug up and given a seat at the table at the feast. #but back to isa. isa doesn't want to fight rhys - he believes there's good in him up until the last second of his life. #his execution is the death of any hope of redemption rhys might have had. #noneof that makes sense but anyway you get what im trying to say right #<- what a late republic hyperfix does to a mf #they are based loosely on the first triumvirate and should all eat each other !! #i can make my own narrative ghosts god dammit #dyrposts #r. a. bicinius #m. f. voscium #i made these guys like. two days ago??? but i cant stop thinking about them #if anyone is interested. i will say more things about dr #writing #augh #rhys isnt technically a main character either feel like i should clarify that he. dies in the first chapter #story focuses on eos furi and gabier !!! yippee !!! #jase writes #FUTURE ME EDIT: THIS IS ALL WILDLY OUTDATED :DDDDD OH WELL

bed covered in books feeling fucking fanTASTIC

#READING IS SUCH A THRILL DID Y'ALL KNOW ABOUT THIS #i've acquired two books off that queerplatonic ace rep rec list so far and i am. thrilled about it #the first one is not like. Extraordinary haha but i read like two hundred and sixty pages last night and it was enjoyable! #i have to remember that ya fiction is ya fiction sometimes. haha #but!!! ordered another one online (first one is a library book which was SO fulfilling to go grab) and it got here today and i'm SO pumped #reviews online were largely positive + complimented the like. visuals and dark fairy tale feel to it #and while one review said that the prose wasn't that good (i am always looking for writing that is Technically good) #(technically as in like. the technical aspects of it are well done. it's well executed) #i am still excited about the kind of character dynamics it promises me #i'll take some clumsy prose if it gets me platonic intimacy. i swear to god i will #ALSO IT'S ABOUT THE WILD HUNT AND I AM SO OBSESSED WITH THE WILDHUNT #and i was promised nonbinary knight character??? so. new fixation incoming perhaps #only choice now is whether to finish the first one or jump right into the next haha #i have what. less than a hundred pages of not even bones to finish? #i should get through that one haha #apparently it's a trilogy and the qpr comes in later so :rolling_eyes: #we'll see if i'm invested enough #or i'll read the webtoon or smth haha #I FUCKING LOVE THE LIBRARY I CAN REQUEST + HOLD THE NEXT TWO BOOKS #god. using public utilities is such a rush #anyway!!!! excited excited :) #valentine notes

working in research definitely gives people this sense of mystique about what you do, until they overhear you whingeing about how your new field (psychology) has way more salami slicing than your old field (neuroscience) and you have to give them a horror deep-dive into how academia works.

#to massively cut down my rant #'salami slicing' is where you deliberately cut what should be one single paper into several #and essentially publish the smallest fucking fragments you possibly can #this is so that you can artificially inflate your publication count when executives decide whether you're actually a worthwhile scientist #or if you should be tossed out for not publishing enough #this is because we are ranked almost exclusively on number of publications #so your job depends on pumping out as many as possible #even if they're dogshit or miniscule in scale #writing my first paper for my new job post-phd quit #and holy fucking shit #one author managed to cut what should have been a single paper down to 8 different ones #it's driving me mad #psychology #research #academia #science #i miss neuro so much :(

i only took a small nap and i woke up to 150+ messages in the group chat of one of my courses, several mails and i think there's an angry mob forming to first lynch our professor and then the students' union.

#lily talks #normal friday night #i feel like i woke up in the wrong movie #i am only mildy affected by what happened so it sorta feels like having a front row seat at a public execution and i don't know how to feel #like #this shit is wild #first everyone was just angry at the professor but now the students are at each other's throats as well #and here i thought this university was more normal than the one i've been to before

that time I tried to watch euphoria but in the first 30 minutes saw so many breasts of characters who are supposed to be underaged highschoolers so I just gave up. and I didn't wanna see Cassie have sex with a guy who was treating her like a whore. also I didn't wanna see a teen girl have sex and be treated so poorly.

#it's so disgusting how did people stomach the first episode #also when I heard maddy's backstory 💀💀💀💀 #public executions need to be brought back just one more time specifically for Sam Levinson

As an argentinian person I find it really funny seeing certain brands of usamericans call leftist posts discussing how awful Biden is when not compared to puppy-kicking levels of evil politicians shit like "right wing/centrist ops trying to discourage you from voting" because girl... sometimes they're all cut from the same cloth. In fact, that's usually the case. Sorry that the world no longer fits your good guys/bad guys dichotomy, but I'm afraid most of the time you're gonna have to vote for the lesser evil and it's a lot better if you acknowledge that instead of woobifying literal politicians.

#my posts #biden sucks y'all. you can know that and still agree to vote against fucking DeSantis #when elections are 'thinks opressing minorities is okay sometimes' vs 'wants to reinstate public executions' #you can vote for the first guy without either agreeing with him or pretending he thinks differently. it's okay

((monarch has no desire to speak on what occurred with the blue Morpho incident but these are some of my favorite doodles of all time you all have no idea how much I love his silly little suit. I LOVE it I think it was such a charming look

#ooc #it was so funny #his first rebrand in twenty years #no desire to speak on it isnt quite right #he would talk about it if not for the risk of public execution

"The Biden Administration last week [early December, 2023] announced it would be seizing patents for drugs and drug manufacturing procedures developed using government money.

A draft of the new law, seen by Reuters, said that the government will consider various factors including whether a medical situation is leading to increased prices of the drug at any given time, or whether only a small section of Americans can afford it.

The new executive order is the first exercise in what is called “march-in-rights” which allows relevant government agencies to redistribute patents if they were generated under government funding. The NIH has long maintained march-in-rights, but previous directors have been unwilling to use them, fearing consequences.

“We’ll make it clear that when drug companies won’t sell taxpayer funded drugs at reasonable prices, we will be prepared to allow other companies to provide those drugs for less,” White House adviser Lael Brainard said on a press call.

But just how much taxpayer money is going toward funding drugs? A research paper from the Insitute for New Economic Thought showed that “NIH funding contributed to research associated with every new drug approved from 2010-2019, totaling $230 billion.”

The authors of the paper continue, writing “NIH funding also produced 22 thousand patents, which provided marketing exclusivity for 27 (8.6%) of the drugs approved [between] 2010-2019.”

How we do drug discovery and production in America has a number of fundamental flaws that have created problems in the health service industry.

It costs billions of dollars and sometimes as many as 5 to 10 years to bring a drug to market in the US, which means that only companies with massive financial muscle can do so with any regularity, and that smaller, more innovative companies can’t compete with these pharma giants.

This also means that if a company can’t recoup that loss, a single failed drug can result in massive disruptions to business. To protect themselves, pharmaceutical companies establish piles of patents on drugs and drug manufacturing procedures. Especially if the drug in question treats a rare or obscure disease, these patents essentially ensure the company has monoselective pricing regimes.

However, if a company can convince the NIH that a particular drug should be considered a public health priority, they can be almost entirely funded by the government, as the research paper showed.

Some market participants, in this case the famous billionaire investor Mark Cuban, have attempted to remedy the issue of drug costs in America by manufacturing generic versions of patented drugs sold for common diseases."

i went to a protest today

#it was my first protest in korea #i havent gone to any bc it's illegal on my visa #except this one was hosted by my union so i'm allowed to attend #it's fucking bonkers that migrants are not allowed to protest or be involved in any sort of 'political activity' without deportation #and ofc the definition of 'political' is decided randomly and/or on a case-by-case basis #anyway i went to this one #it was funny bc i actually got there before the other protesters and had no idea what to do or where to go #i took the public bus while the other union members took the union bus or drove there #so i was just sitting on a bench for like 30 mins until the other members showed up #they had this whole routine practiced and ready to go and i learned the chant by the end of the protest #the whole thing lasted around 30 mins and then they dispersed and the ppl who work for the company who are anti-union came and screamed #it was kind of funny to watch cuz our chairperson was trying to reason w them and then just left #he said fuck that #they gave me a union vest but korean sizes are so small it was a crop top for me lmfaoooo #it felt good to be at a protest again #it's been years since i've gone to one #union also got us lunch at a traditional korean restaurant and then coffee for our executives meeting #it feels nice to have a community like this
