Imagine:
Platonic Yandere Spider-man/Miguel O'Hara with a Mami!Spider!Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Plot Summery: Platonic Miguel O'hara with a spider-person that's like Mami from Madoka Magica (the TV series mainly) This Contains: ‼️MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE MADOKA MAGICA TV SERIES & ACROSS THE SPIDERVERSE‼️ Major character deaths (reader death/character death), angst, yandere themes, violence. Not proofread. Note(s): Although the show focuses around magical girls, this is meant to GN!! I just loved the movies (watched them both for the first time) and had to write about it!
Miguel would be a very protective and controlling yandere. He's afraid something will happen to you, as it has many times before. You're not sure when it happened, but Miguel grew extremely attached to you. Perhaps you've been with him for an incredibly long time, or maybe your kind and friendly yet brave facade have warmed his walled heart. Either way, Miguel has become very overprotective. He refuses to let anything happen to you.
That said, your skills, magical abilities, strategic mindset, and leadership skills make you one of his best. So oftentimes, but reluctantly, he'll send you off on missions to ensure the steady flow of Canon Events in different universes, as well as other tasks. You're extremely efficient in your role, and while it does sadden you to watch it happen, you trust Miguel's judgement. He doesn't put you on missions he knows you won't be able to handle, and you're almost always guaranteed to not to encounter any other magical girls/boys on your missions.
Miguel knows you need Grief Seeds to cleanse your Soul Gem after using your magic, but that doesn't change the fact he hates when you go off to go hunt down witches. It terrifies him actually. He knows you're more then capable, but that doesn't erase the fear, so he'll oftentimes either accompany you or have someone go with you just to be safe. He will also pester you to use your Grief Seed when you need it, and probably hordes a bunch just in case.
Miguel knows about witches, how they're really magical girls/boys who had their gems corrupted. How they're just used and discarded by the incubators. And he knows how fragile your mind is. So for that, he makes sure to control the information that gets fed to you. 
Miguel despises Kyubey and has tried, and failed at, getting rid of him. Not only does he know that Kyubey is using you, but he's jealous that you're so attentive and kind to it. How you care about it like a close friend. If only you knew, but Miguel won't ever dare to tell you the truth of Kyubey. He just tries to keep you away from him as much as he can.
The only peace he ever has is when you're enjoying a wonderful teatime together, preferably (almost strictly) when it's just you and him. The delicious tea, desserts, and your pleasantness is a fresh breath of air for Miguel every time. It's the only time that he's ever felt so… at peace. So content in this little bubble you both share. For just a moment, he can forget the ripping multiverse.
It's moments like these that make everything he's doing and has done worth it. You're a lonely person, so having a constant like Miguel in your life is absolutely welcomed. Miguel is also a lonely man, even if he doesn't say it aloud. You're both alone, but you have each other. And for Miguel, that's absolutely perfect.
Miguel really loves you. He absolutely does, although it can be hard at times for him to express it. Just know he loves you so much. And hopefully nothing happens to you, because Miguel wouldn't be able to handle it.
Angst Below Cut
Tumblr media
If you do end up meeting your tragic end, however. Miguel is broken even more. He worked so hard to make sure you were happy, safe, and that your Soul Gem was clean. He did so much, but it wasn't enough to save you.
If you died, it's likely the shock at meeting a witch who actually counters you is too much of a shock for you to act in time. If Miguel is with you during this, then no doubt his instincts kick in before yours does. But it's too late, your head is in the jaw of the witch, your Soul Gem is shattered, and your body is devoured. The look of devastation on his face is heartbreaking, but it is quickly replaced with a need for revenge. He's not thinking clearly when he goes to attack the witch. All he wants is blood. And he will get it.
If you eventually learn the truth about magical girls/boys, how they're destined to be witches, and how Miguel had been withholding that knowledge to you, you break. And you go on a rampage, killing countless spider-men/women in your path in effort to save the innocent, having lost your mind to insanity. Miguel tries to calm you down, tries to reason with you, but it's no use. You're not listening, and worse yet you're trying to kill him too.it doesn't help that, while your mind is fracture, you're still a strategist. If Miguel is forced to kill you, he would never forgive himself. He'll never forget crushing your Soul Gem in his hands, and watching as your body went absolutely limp. He feels disgusted in himself.
If you become a witch, Miguel can't bring himself to kill you. He can't do it, so he locks you up in one of his cages instead. A part of him knows that you're not there anymore, that you're just a monster now. But the rest of him either denies this reality, choosing to instead believe you're still ib there, or simply can't bring itself to finish you off. He watches as your witch form behaves in such a similar kind and inviting manner, although he knows the wickedness behind its welcoming ribboney arms. It hurts.
In either of these scenarios, Miguel doesn't get a happy ending. Either situation just scars him badly, makes him colder, more irrational in his anger. He'll never be the same, not without his baby.

Yo so these are head-cannons from this thot a while ago.
Also the internet has come back, hopefully long term (never ever been this happy before), but enjoy for now xxx
*****
transmasc Van and Nat btw (I LOVE THEM!!!)
*****
Tumblr media
Was definitely way too into it at the time to notice wtf you were doing.
Continues to not know about it until she goes on there later (Callie set her up on it, of which you did not know).
"Y/n……. What is this?" "Uhhhhhhh nothing, just a BeReal." "I can see that sweet thing, but who else is in it?"
You know you're fucked regardless of how you respond.
That's pretty much all I can think of honestly (I'm out here tryna keep yall fed, sorry).
---
Tumblr media
Again, was probably way too into it at the time to notice.
Then she looks over your shoulder later on, while you're sat together watching TV.
"Watcha got there, love, hmmm?" "Nothinggggg" "Nothing huh, well if it's nothing can I see it?" "Nooooooooo"
Somehow ends up getting her hands on it (definitely did not chase you around to try and grab your phone, and/or tickle you when you wouldn't give up). "Oh?"
Honestly kinda flustered at first (even though she probably has no idea how it works).
Then makes it her screensaver for like a week, until someone accidently picks up her phone.
Poor baby gets so scared that someone's seen it, and changes it back to a more PG photo of the two of you.
Tumblr media
100% gets a lesbian spider sense and looks up JUST as you post it.
But doesn't say anything until way after, when she somehow gets her hands on it.
"Baby, I love you, but I swear to god, if people find that and use it as a reason to not elect me, I will be mad." "Oooooooooh, maybe I like it when you're mad 😏." "Y/NNNNN!!!"
You end up taking it down after a couple hours (idk if you can do that, I haven't used BeReal in ages), cause you don't wanna actually make her mad.
Again that's pretty much it, idk.
---
Tumblr media
This boy has no idea wtf BeReal is or how it works, but is definitely a little curious about it.
Honestly like extremely flustered by it when he finds it while looking on your phone for something (idk, like something you asked him to look at or grab from it).
"I'm not mad about it, it's actually kinda cool, but outta curiosity, how many people are gonna see that?" "I don't know." "Wha- how can you not- HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE YOU FRIENDS WITH?!"
Poor baby boy is very confused, but it's okay, he's cool with it.
---
Tumblr media
The most smug motherfucker on earth when he finds it.
But then again honestly doesn't really give much of a shit.
But also 100% screenshotted it and sent it from your phone to his and looks at it alllllllllllll the fucking time may of masturbated to it once or twice when you weren't there 🤫.
Definitely makes it his screensaver too like Lottie, but has no shame about it whatsoever.
Not really got much else to say other then that honestly, but they speak for themselves, baby boy Nat has no shame whatsoever.
---
Tumblr media
A little confused by it, like the whole sorta aspect of it, like "Why do people have to know everything about what people are doing?"
SAYS THE FUCKING STALKER/KIDNAPPER! anyways......
Defo hacks into your phone later on while you're asleep (cause that's just so much more fun then just taking it and unlocking it or whatever).
And also definitely stares at it for like an hour straight (that babygirl is such a freak and a perv, but it's okay, we love her for it).
Let's just say poor baby boy Caligula gets demoted to home screen, and then she changes it around, and he gets bumped back up to lock screen.
As much as Misty loves you, the photo, and just the whole aspect of the situation, she doesn't wanna loose her job for unprofessionalism.

During the Arab Spring I was sitting with my family and we had a friend from New Guinea over. He was a black man, Muslim, and I had known him my entire life. He was one of the nicest, most laid back people I've ever been around, polite, good with children. We were watching the news as they covered the unfolding events. We would usually have non-alcoholic drinks whenever he was over because of his religious beliefs, so we were all chitchating and having a drink. And out of the blue, he says, pointing at the tv.
"This will all end up being a big pile of nothing. Africans don't understand democracy".
And I remember thinking that was such a scandalous thing to say, such a racist thing to say, especially coming out of a black Muslim man who was from an African country. And now after a decade, and event after event, I'm starting to understand what he was trying to say, and I wonder what he has experienced in his life for him to say that.
People will claim this as racism, but I don't think these people are more prone to certain behaviours because of their skin color.
I do think that cultural attitudes, especially pertaining as to how violence is an acceptable way to solve conflict, coupled with the eternal victim narrative, gives leeway to this destruction. I used to be very anxious to the rise of far right parties in Europe and now I feel nothing. It is so predictable why it's happening. It's so predictable that when people wake up day after day, going to work their jobs that don't pay that well so they can pay bills, and they see the same types of people burning shit down and destroying their transportation, their businesses, their community services, their homes etc, they will get fed up. And then the commies will cry racism thinking it will solve the issue, and for a time people will be taken aback and prostrate themselves to social justice mafia. And then a time will come when they're so tired of being called racist and islamophpbes for noticing who's always destroying things, and for talking about it, and they will say. Yes. Fine. I guess I am racist then. Because you won't allow me the speak on the obvious. And the animosity will grow, and people will come increasingly fed up with the ones ignoring the core issue and thus the people who do speak about it, who do call a spade a spade, and who belong to once fringe groups and who are obvious authoritarians will be voted into power. Not because they are competent leaders or have solutions, but because they can at least point out the obvious.
And everytime a Boris Johnson, a Trump, a Meloni, an Orban happens, people will say "how can this be? Must be those racist islamophobes who hate minorities" and they will learn absolutely nothing. And the eternal self-victimizing narrative will deepen.
It's all so obnoxiously predictable.
It’s extremely predictable in the sense that at least in my country, it’s been 20 years that some issues are left to the extreme right to talk about, and it can be things as obvious as everyone has the right to be safe in the public space or religions should be a private matter basically things everybody agree on. The only reason for that is that the left is completely taken by a perverted definition of anti-racism that is basically cultural relativism. When you abandon common sense to the extreme right the problem is it makes their actually extremist solutions suddenly worth discussing which they aren’t.
Then for the people coming from Africa in the Middle East, I think there is a naivety that tends to believe that someone who comes from a very authoritarian country / culture can convert to liberal democracy pretty much overnight. You have a many people coming to Europe and other western countries, who are perfectly capable of wanting to be free individually, and not to suffer from political brutality or corruption, but it doesn’t mean that they agree with the whole package. It’s especially visible as far as women’s rights are concerned ; you can have men who absolutely want to be free but who still want their women to be oppressed and controlled like they are at home.
The influence of religion is also something we could discuss. What we are going through now has happened to North Africa starting in the late 1970s. Intellectuals there have been warning us for years about the terrible influence of Saudi / Gulf extremism that led in their countries to political unrest, riots and even civil war. The Arab Spring is a recent phenomena but yes, in the West everybody thought it would bring modern democracies, but we were only listening to urban, college educated people. The majority wanted more religion, more conservatism, and the diaspora always vote for the extreme right - we saw that in Turkey just recently.
Of course the influence of the west is something that should never be forgotten. At a time our leaders could have supported democrats in the Arab world and in Africa, but between decolonization and the Cold War, they preferred supporting Islamists and tyrants rather than risking seeing countries rich in natural ressources align with the USSR. We’ve been paying for that ever since.

WARNING! Please be aware! LSuperSonicQ is not a real Youtuber.
Tumblr media
They are an agent for hire, that corporations use, to confuse the masses with misinformation, so that those companies can change the narrative about things that the internet has found out about.
Now I have heard for years about spies lying among the YouTube content creator community, but I have never once found any rumours that turned out to be true.
It usually falls under one of the following.
a genuine content creator that gets paid by big businesses to promote their nonsense for example PewdiePie before he kinda ruined his chances with the T-series controversy.
A genuinely well-intentioned creator that has been fed lies and misinformation and has come to believe it for example the flat Earth community.
A troll trying to gain popularity by saying anything and everything contrary to the popular narrative just to get views on their videos for example Billy West's fact channels. (yes, that is in fact THE Billy West, the voice actor from the animated TV show Futurama, yes, actually legit, look it up, yeah i know you thought it sounded familiar)
A content creator that needs funding for extreme stunts that others can't copy so lies about certain details on just some of their stunt videos just ensure their longevity for example The MythBusters.
A content creator that was set up using an elaborate scheme so they were unaware of how much of their information that had been fed to them by researchers was actually misleading for example MatPat and Team Theorist.
but in none of these situations has the culprit been fully aware, stands to get financial gain, actively works fully for these corporations, and is 100% on board for spreading all this misinformation just so that they can grab a fat paycheck.
LSuperSonicQ is THE FIRST that i have EVER heard about from any source that wasn't complete nonsense and... there is plenty of evidence to prove it just laying around.
In fact the sheer amount of evidence is so overwhelming in fact it makes me wonder why even bother with the ruse at all.
You see literally any facts the guy says you can just look up in a search engine for like 15 seconds tops and have an entire wealth of info and evidence as well that completely proves them wrong.
So how about some examples on that.
LSSQ says that there's no evidence to show that SegaSonic the Hedgehog the game was ever a real release by Sega and not a fan creation made to run on the original hardware that was in fact created much later.
No evidence huh?
How about a video recording of a person visiting an arcade from back in the day that no longer exists where the game is right there on display and we can see the individual actively playing it.
Moreover in said video said individual is a considerably younger looking version of the very person who uploaded the footage along with a friend of theirs who passed away just about a year or two after said footage was actually taken and yes the facts about the dead friend are real we didn't just take their word on that.
It gets even harder to disprove the footage when about 2 dozen people seen in the background were all found using face tracking online and asked about the arcade itself and every single one of them confirmed that the arcade did exist like it's seen in the footage and that they too had seen the same game cabinet there.
Getting a little shaky with that 'no evidence' line eh?
Oh and the game was featured in many many magazines, was seen on live broadcasted TV footage, several real copies of the arcade machine have been found, which are in full working order by the way, and someone uploaded the ROM from the machine, so you can play the game itself using an emulator, and just to top it all off, said emulator has to be a certain kind that only plays original data and therefore cannot play anything that wasn't made by Sega themselves or at least didn't have the approval of the current Sega CEO.
We literally have yet to invent technology that could even fake any of this convincingly.
-but sure LSSQ, go off about it being fake. I'm sure Sega paid you a pretty penny to sweep the tracks of their old business.
Not like Sega is going through a process RIGHT NOW where they are trying to deny the existence of all their old games and stuff or try to peddle new version of their retro games and are actively destroying valuable antique merchandise from the days of Sonic the Hedgehog's origins so they can change the narrative about their past.
Not like Sega has anything to financially gain from selling remakes of their retro games rather than allowing the original cartridges to circulate.
Not after all their new games bombed, they released Sonic Origins and people called them out on their changes.
And that Sega was going hard on trying to find people who could post YouTube videos full of their lies LITERALLY just a couple of weeks before you published your video.
Oh and by the way, you CAN of course look all of this up online.
It'll only take you about 20 minutes.

Rewatching ML Season 2
The Collector: When Ladybug says she thinks Gabriel is Hawk Moth, Chat Noir is taken aback, but rather calm. Ladybug is shocked when Chat Noir suggests that the Collector could make Adrien disappear, while Chat’s expression says that he believes it’s totally possible. Gabriel lets Adrien go to school again and Adrien hugs him.
Prime Queen: Chat Noir purrs when Ladybug is close.
Glaciator: Poor Adrien, his father makes him wait for him at that big table and then doesn’t let him leave the house. Marichat on the balcony! I believed Marinette didn’t take Chat Noir’s declarations of love seriously, so it’s nice to have it confirmed. She must have thought he’s like that with many girls and now she knows he’s really in love with her. I like how sincere they are with each other at the end.
Despair Bear: Adrien stands up for Marinette when Chloé accuses her of being responsible for the false alarm. He is again annoyed with Chloé and threatens to end their friendship. Chloé does something good, but for the wrong reasons. Marinette and Adrien are dancing. Chat Noir is AGAIN possessed by the villain.
Troublemaker: Adrien is so happy to see Marinette on TV. Poor Marinette, everyone can see her hundreds of photos of Adrien and he’s so shocked. Chat Noir again uses his good hearing. Marinette friendzoned herself.
Gigantitan: Gabriel tries to reason with a baby, he couldn’t have been an involved father when Adrien was little. Chat Noir says he’s a great singer and promises to sing Ladybug a song.
Riposte: Hi, Kagami! Was she sent to the fencing class to impress Adrien? Ladrien scenes. Adrien saves Ladybug, forgetting that he isn’t invincible when he isn’t transformed. He says he doesn’t like being locked.
Befana: Marinette resorts to lies when she’s afraid the truth might hurt someone. Short Marichat scene. Chat Noir says Marinette must be a very cool girl. Ladybug joins Chat Noir in singing. Adrien says he’s always carrying Marinette’s lucky bracelet and gives her one that he made himself. I wonder what the chicken bead is supposed to mean.
Frightningale: Adrien tells Chloé that everyone in the queue should have a chance. He’s impressed with her skills, but is not thrilled to work with her.
Gorizilla: Gabriel again suspects that Adrien is Chat Noir. (Gabriel, haven’t you heard him yell ‘PLAGG, CLAWS OUT!’ every now and then?) Adrien wants to ask his father if he could go to the cinema, but Gabriel doesn’t have time for him. Adrien hates being famous and is still carrying Marinette’s lucky bracelet. Adrienette and Ladrien scenes. Adrien notices that Marinette repeats words from the perfume advertisment and isn’t sure what to make of it. Adrien’s falling from the skyscraper and Gabriel in the last moment orders Gorizilla to release Ladybug to save Adrien (though his first impulse was to wait until Adrien transforms, risking his death). Ladybug says she trusts Chat Noir and Adrien is happy. Gabriel watches the film with Adrien. At the end for the first time we see dead Emilie in the glass coffin from afar.
Robostus: Adrien knows Morse code. Master Fu explains that when you have both Ladybug earrings and Cat ring, you can make a wish, but comes with a price—you exchange your wish for something opposite.
Sapotis: Marinette has a DVD with “Ladybug PV”. Chat Noir flirts with Rena Rouge.
Syren: Chat Noir is fed up with being left in the dark. Ladybug not trusting him seems to be his biggest concern. He threatens to give up the ring for the first time. He finally meets Master Fu.
Dark Owl: Ladybug and Chat Noir trust each other so much that they can detransform in front of each other, having their eyes closed.
Zombizou: Chat Noir sacrifices himself AND is possessed by the villain. Chloé sacrifices herself fo Ladybug, but without Ladybug she would be caught, so it isn’t entirely selfless. Later she is vulnerable and sincere with Ms Bustier.
Captain Hardrock: Gabriel wants Adrien to play the piano perfectly. No one is surprised that he is grounded again. Hi, Luka! Adrien asks his father to play the piano with him, Gabriel lets him go to his friends, Adrien hugs him.
Frozer: Chat Noir has a romantic fantasy involving Ladybug and a hamster and later Marinette has a similar fantasy about Adrien. Adrien thinks about asking Gorilla, Nathalie and his father about girls, but ends up asking Marinette about Kagami. Kagami and Plagg think Adrien cares about Marinette romantically. When Marinette tells him they should go ice-skating again, he thinks she means just the two of them. She almost confesses her feelings to him, but ends up friendzoning herself again.
Reverser: Terrified Chat Noir is hilarious.
Style Queen: Gabriel, why are you surprised that Adrien fell victim to your Akumatised villain? Have you thought it through? Nathalie is not happy about it at the end. Chloé is worried about Adrien. Short Ladrien scene.
Queen Wasp: Gabriel has some regrets about putting Adrien at risk. Nathalie hugs Gabriel. Gabriel hugs Adrien publically. It’s the first time he appears publically after Emilie’s death. Chloé is abused, but it doesn’t excuse her acting like a villain and pretending to be a hero.
Malediktator: Chloé gives a ridiculous presentation, but the class shouldn’t bully her for that. Adrien is the only one who doesn’t laugh and later isn’t happy when Chloé’s leaving Paris. Adrien says that she was his only friend when he was little and didn’t leave the house. (When exactly did problems in his family start?) Thanks to Adrien Marinette decides to give the Bee Miraculous to Chloé and give her a second chance. Chloé admits that she hurt her father. Chat Noir is AGAIN possessed by the villain. My Disney+ must have a wrong order of the episodes, because Alya mentions Carapace.
Anansi: Adrien says his father is overprotective and hopes it’ll change. Hi, Carapace, here you are. Chat Noir is a bit worried about being replaced by other superheroes, but Ladybug reassures him he’s irreplaceable.
Sandboy: Nightmare Adrien is both scary and funny. Poor Adrien’s nightmare is being locked out without escape. Chat Noir saves Ladybug, how romantic. I love that bad Ladybug always gets this crazy, enormous weapon.
Catalyst: Lila returns! I think that Alya can’t see through Lila’s lies, because she’s too focused on Marinette’s crush on Adrien.
Mayura: I must agree with Chloé that Hawk Moth’s outfit is ridiculous. Nathalie wants to help Gabriel so much that not only does she let herself be Akumatised, but also she risks her life by using the Peacock Miraculous. Gabriel is shocked by this. At this point he still seems to care about Adrien and Nathalie to some extent. Adrien says that Marinette is their school Ladybug. (Will Adrien ever be called their local Chat Noir?)
A Christmas Special: Snow, songs and that terrible old man in a red suit. Gabriel’s gone mad and thrown a Christmas party. More serious observation: Adrien openly talks sings about his pain and anger.
Miraculous World: Shanghai: ‘Did Jet just die?’ moment, Hawk Moth edition. Chat Noir too, but it isn’t as surprising.

Comment from a poster on the JCF:
ST suffered from no plan, but they still work. Rey came out alright and will grow in popularity when her next movie comes.
Will she? I wonder.
Rey was completed screwed up as lead character. She could have been fascinating and complex but instead she ended up a judgemental, overpowered Mary Sue. Even Finn had more potential for character growth, and I say this as someone who isn't fond of John Boyega post the ST.
The best thing about Rey Fakewalker is that Daisy has a natural charm which carried her character. But even that couldn't save Rey in TROS. DLF made a bloody awful film which was little more than an attempt to scream at the audience that we must adore Rey, Rey, Rey, and everyone else just wasn't important. We all know what they did with Ben, but both Finn and Poe were ruined as well - the latter was reimagined as a Han clone, the former turned into a laughing stock. As I have said before, if you have to push your leading man/lady at the cost of all the other cast members, then said lead just isn't interesting enough in the first place.
Rey was at her best when interacting with Kylo. The critics saw it. Rian Johnson saw it. The audience saw it.
DLF saw it....and ignored it. Throughout the entirety of TROS, the film only sparkled when Adam and Daisy were together onscreen. The new Trio had nothing of the chemistry shown by Hamill, Ford and Fisher in the OT. But, what DLF have decided to do is not learn by their mistakes.
Instead of resurrecting Ben and making a new TV series or film with him in the leading role, instead of retconning TROS and bringing back the flawed Rey we all liked so much, they intend to enshrine in stone the worst film in the ST and continue with Mary Rey Sue.
The problem is...her story is told. Does the audience really want to see yet another tedious 'look how AMAZING REY SKYWALKER IS?' film? Do they really want to see her continue her journey to godhood?
I think not. I've seen plenty of fed up SW fans outside the forums - and on the forums as well. DLF have already taken a lot of flak from TROS, Indy 5, The Little Mermaid. The films weren't exactly flops but they underperformed. And you can't keep spending billions making films which underperform. Their forthcoming woke Snow White is being blasted before it has even been released.
REy's character declined in popularity with TROS. Those of us who liked her, defended her, argued she wasn't a Mary Sue....DLF spat in our faces and instead made everything her detractors said about her...true. They treated reylos like crap. They destroyed the love many of us had for Rey.
There is nothing left of her to identify with. Or like. She isn't Luke, or Paul Atreides. She's living Jedi dogma.
There is nowhere they can go with her now. In fact, I really can't see much of a future for SW in general post TROS. Rebels, Mando, KOTOR....all good, but the Skywalker Saga was the beating heart of SW.
And DLF killed it.

random thoughts about tell me that you love me, episode five
(the rest is under the cut because i'm worried about your eyes having to read ALL OF THAT and this post might contain spoilers)
I feel like this is becoming a recurring motif in my posts about the drama but I'm in love with the leads. They're both so caring and thoughtful. The fact they're there for each other and are witnessing the other evolve. My heart feels warm. They're one of the best things to happen to this show.
Jin woo focusing on mo eun's acting <3 I'd love it if the drama showed more scenes like the one where he came to support her at the theater. I think he could become an asset to mo eun's acting career because he can't hear so he's only focusing on the facial expressions/body language part of acting. A good actor is someone who can make you feel things even when you don't relate/know what they're talking about. A good actor is someone who doesn't need a lot of words to make you understand what they're feeling. So I can see mo eun showing her acting to jin woo as a rehearsal coach. You know asking him what he felt when he saw her acting, what he thinks she's talking about, etc. That'd be great if the drama gave us some of these moments in the future.
It might not seem like a lot but I'm happy to see the other actors congratulate mo eun on her acting. Knowing how hard she worked and how many rejections she had to go through, I'm relieved to see people believe in her and praise her for her splendid acting
It's so cute how she immediately ran to him after being congratulated by her colleagues. You can see how much she values him and his opinion. Just like he was able to calm her down before she started the play, she wants to ask him for his opinion. The more I watch them together, the more I ship them.
Girl we're not even ten minutes into the episode and I'm on the verge of writing a love letter to the main couple. They are made for each other.
"You're a good listener" because he always tries to focus on each word that comes out of her mouth. He makes efforts to make her feel understood and I think that's beautiful.
"It feels like you're listening to my heart, not my voice" OH COME ON!!! TAKE MY HEART TAKE MY EVERYTHING IF THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED BUT I DON'T NEED TO BE CRYING ON A THURSDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT AT 12 AM
"To me, you're a comfortable person"
The fact that after watching the play, jin woo wished he could hear makes me cry a little bit (ngl)
The whole confrontation with the parents scene... I am torn because I understand both sides.
The parents are worried for her because becoming an actress (and an artist in general) is really hard and only a few manage to make a living out of it. Even less people manage to become super popular and earn lots of money. So yeah, I know the parents want the best for her and don't want her to think about how to make ends meet. However, that doesn't mean it's okay to be so judgemental towards their own daughter. They looked like they were on the verge of disowning her because of her choice of career. The mother saying mo eun is immature for pursuing her dream career, that's rich. I mean your daughter has spent most of her life following what YOU wanted her to do. It's normal for mo eun to be fed up with this and decide to live her life the way she wants. The worst part is when her mother said she'll never make it because she's too old for that career (which is true because as most artistic jobs, your image is a crucial part) but had the nerve to oppose to mo eun when she wanted to study theater and movie (or something like that i don't remember the exact terms) at uni. I'm just disappointed by the parents' reaction but I can understand where they come from.
On mo eun's part, I just can't imagine how she's feeling after all that happened. She wanted to tell them first she decided to become an actress, but unfortunately her role as an extra was shown on tv. She was robbed of telling her parents the truth. Like she said, it wasn't an impulsive decision. She thought long and hard about it and decided to do it in the end. She kept a false front in front of her parents because she's always followed their advice so she was scared of their reaction to the whole actress thing. And she was right. Mo eun is already feeling guilty about her decision. She doesn't want to worry her parents. I feel for her.
What made my blood boil is how the brother sided with the parents. He knew all along but then when the truth was out, he was the first one to drop mo eun and act shocked by her choice of career. I don't know a lot about their relationship but I thought he'd at least try to defend her a little bit. Guess I was wrong. Sigh
Ji yu and mo d am's bickering is one of the most hilarious things ever,
Mo eun's face lighting up when she saw name (jin woo can be funny when he wants to lol naming his cat name). She's just like me.
Ji yu is a great friend. She's happy for mo eun's success, she's worried about her because she knows mo eun has a hard time dating someone. I'm glad ji yu is there for mo eun.
Song seo kyung's arrival. The plot thickens. I can't wait to learn more about the fire and how the situation will be resolved.
Overall this is a great episode, I'm giving this a 9/10

tonight i am thinking about my parents and how i often don’t believe they are right for each other. they fight. argue. a lot. too much. as long as i can remember, multiple times every day of my life, there’s always something, and as soon as it’s resolved, there’s always more somethings. they get annoyed with each other constantly, my mother more than my father. my father never wanted my sister and i to grow up while my mother wanted us to mentally mature quickly while slowly shifting from girls to women.
tonight i am thinking about my parents and how i sometimes believe they are right for each other. my father is a hopeless romantic who passed his penchant for lovely gestures onto me. he puts thought into the gifts he gets for my mother. he takes time to write beautiful love letters in her birthday, christmas, and valentine’s day cards. he gets her flowers on each of those holidays as well. he has proposed to her three or more times, simply because he wanted to (although, she has lost a ring or two). he rubs her feet when they ache. he turns the tv volume down when she falls asleep before him, a nightly occurence. my mother, on the other hand, is a little less outwardly affectionate, but she never forgets to tell my father how much she loves him. she logistically explains her feelings in all of his cards, in tiny font he always jokes about needing a microscope to read. she always remembers to phone him if she misses a call, and if he doesn’t pick up she will send him a text message. she knows he doesn’t like onions, so she makes sure none of the chicken thighs she cooks for dinner have pieces of onion on them when she serves his plate. she drove two hours to work and back for forty-eight months so my father, my sister, and i wouldn’t have to move for the third time in as many years.
tonight i am thinking about my parents and how badly i want a love that is so similar, yet so different than theirs. i want someone who buys me flowers for every major holiday, and every once in a while when they feel like it. i don’t want explosive anger. i want someone who knows and accepts that i am not the world’s best vocalist, but smiles when i make attempts to serenade them with song. i don’t want to feel like an annoyance. i want someone who will massage my back when i over-exert myself, and stroke my hair when i’ve had a stressful day. i want someone who will gladly shout their love for me from the highest rooftop in a city. i want someone who would try to sing my favorite song atop a restaurant table before i pull them down, laughing. i don’t want to be shrugged off when obviously upset. i want someone who will sneak out with me during parties to look at the moon and talk about the universe. i want someone who is sure about marrying me before they even ask my friends for help in proposing to me. i want someone willing to raise two beautiful children into kind and good adults with me; some animals are included in there. i want someone to record adventures around the globe with me. i want to know someone’s soul like we came from the same star, and for them to know mine like we were fed the same constellations.
tonight i am thinking about my parents and supernovas and love and calla lilies and relationships and sour candy and a white dress and horror movies and honeymoon phases and rock songs and eight-letter phrases and me and you.
~ L.G. | would you say i’m worthy?

Finally, we’ve reached the end of the ranking—Here I Am! Truthfully, I actually like Nevermore a little bit more, but I wanted to end it with Here I Am as I think it would be a great note to end on. Also, in case someone might mention Set Me Free, I do think it is an entirely different era, but I consider the album itself to almost be the same as Here I Am. So I’m going to mostly talk about Here I Am and mention a little about Set Me Free. I also want to focus on the era rather than the songs, since I’m sure most of you guys are aware about this album.
To start things off, I’ll first go over the end of M2M and how it influenced the production of Here I Am. When M2M was abruptly sent back home during the summer of 2002, Marion was overwhelmed with the media. She recalled on her experiences with the paparazzi coming to her house uninvited. Her parents were on vacation, and there was no one else in the house. She was scared, so she called her brother to shoo them away. On top of that, there was a lot of misinformation that got spread by people who didn’t have Marion’s best interest, and she didn’t have any reliable people to tell her what to say or do. So she was basically left to try to navigate by herself, and she regretted going out doing these interviews. I want to mentioned that I’ve spent a lot of time searching for media content that covers 2002-2004, but it is hard to find them. But on the very little that I had found, there is ONE interview that I thought was very interesting, and this interviewer asked Marion, “It may be that you are launched now. It goes wrong, and then you come home to Norway and become the host of a TV show that will be closed after a fairly short time. And then it's all over. How will you take it?” And it was very eye-opening to me because she hadn’t even released an album yet, and the interviewer was already trying to bring misfortune on her. And interviewers tend to ask the same questions, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Marion got so many similar questions about her career failing. And it wouldn’t surprise me if she got fed up with these questions, which unfornately, it ended up backfiring on her. Older Norwegians who were there when it happen would know this better than I would, but Marion went on a show called Torsdagsklubben as a guest. And the hosts were very pushy about her having a twenty million contract, but Marion confirmed in 2014 that number was not right and wasn’t sure where that came from. Essentially, one of the hosts asked if Marion would work in the counter of a store once her career failed, and you can probably imagine she didn’t like this. And she joked, “No, with the twenty million I would never do that.” Unfortunately, people took that as face value and actually believed she had a twenty million contract. People were very hard on Marion, and she got booed. A few years ago, I managed to find a Norwegian forum where they talked about the incident, and all they basically didn’t had a positive impression on Marion (unfornately, I regret to inform that I can’t find it anymore, so take it as you will). But to emphasize this, I need people to understand that Marion was 18 during this time, and so many people were harping on her—saying that she didn’t contribute to the success of M2M and that she was not talented. People focus so much on the joke (whether or not you consider it a good one or not) that they don’t realized Marion was getting belittled and treated as though she had no talent. Marion has said that she felt like she had to prove herself and put on a brave face because that’s how the US music industry was like. I think because of these cultural differences too people in Norway were so quick to label her as the bitch.
So tying this back to how Here I Am was made, Marion fought with her label to make the music that she wanted to make, and it took her a really long time. I think the music video for her debut single, End of Me, was her trying so hard to prove her worth. The piano riff from 13 Days plays before the single starts, and I’m sure this is Marion trying to show that she is skilled artist and not just some pretty face. It is a shame that people dismiss this album. Someone has said that there were too many cooks in the kitchen, and I do agree with that. Some songs really shouldn’t have been on the album (*cough*AttheEndoftheDay*cough*), and I can see how a grown man who might like Heads Will Roll but not like the rest of the album. There are shortcomings, for sure, but it’s also sad how quickly people tend to brush off this album. If I had to describe Here I Am, it’s a mixture of 2000’s girl pop rock (e.g. Get Me Out of Here, Break You, Here I Am) and 90’s rock influences. I don’t think people brings this up enough, but there is definitely something 90’s about some of the songs—Here I Am’s Heads Will Roll is grungier than Set Me Free’s version. And there are also Gotta Be Kidding; Let Me Introduce Myself; and (my second favorite Marion song ever and I strongly recommend listening to it if you haven’t yet) Six Feet Under…there is a quality to these songs that remind me of the 90’s, and there are signs she took some inspiration from artists like Alanis Morissette and Fiona Apple.
To wrap things up, I hope the past couple of days show that Marion has always been a great artist. For sure there are things I don’t agree with and pointed them out, but she has shown her range and depth. And I appreciate her for trying different things and wanting to grow even back in 2002. Because being an artist has been something she has always wanted, she spent so much of her youth in a very difficult industry and sacrificed a lot. From moving to NY alone as a young adult and then moving to LA. And even putting her solo activities on pause to be on the Meatloaf duet and tour. In Nevermore, there’s two songs, Blackbird and After You, that talk about her feeling old and used, and it reminds me when Marit said she felt old too (and only felt like her age until recently). I’m glad more people are talking about it, but I still don’t think it gets emphasized enough how young artists go through such difficult schedules and how much that ages them. And that can be very traumatizing as well. She has said that she blocked out her memories from the M2M days, and she only has her diary from that time that she wished she wrote more.
But Marion has always been open minded to trying different activities and taking chances. Like people could very easily dunk on her for taking part as a judge on the X Factor or Idol Norge—that’s usually something people don’t think highly of when singers part take in, especially back at that time. However, she found it enjoyable and liked giving advice to young aspiring artists, which one of her advises was that you can’t expect to go on a show and think you’ll be famous. You have to keep pushing and work hard or else people will forget about you. And that’s exactly what Marion has done for herself, and now she’s very happy where she’s at. Thinking back to all those people who were telling Marion that her music career was going to fail versus her career today, what people can learn from this is this: Sometimes you don’t get the life you thought you wanted, but you can carve out a path to the life that you actually want. And that’s exactly what Marion did.
Thank you to everyone who has read up to that point! I really appreciate it, and I hope maybe when I’m not burnout I can create my own documentary to M2M as a love letter. I’ve said this so many times, but there is a lot that I really wanted to talk about but had to leave out.
See you guys in the top ten songs!

I've Lost My Passion For Writing
The title of this journal isn’t a joke. I have seriously started to lose my passion that I once had for writing.
I’m sure by now a lot of you have noticed I haven’t been writing any stories of any kind. Or at least anything substantial. You could say that those two stories I have shared about those really awkward plays I saw as a child or the only time I’ve ever actually gotten to play on a real Gamecube while in hospital count as stories but those are more just me retelling events form my past that have stuck with me. And there’s a good reason I haven’t been writing a lot. I’ve HAVE tried to write proper stories. About my OC’s, about fictional characters I like, but I always never get very far into it and sometimes just stop entirely or get distracted by other things I have more fun doing. And there’s a good reason for THAT two. I just haven’t been enjoying writing as much. It’s one of those things I have slowly been coming to terms with a lot recently. In fact the only long form things I’ve even managed to get written up the past few months have both been satirical and if you couldn’t tell from how I wrote those, my way of venting about how modern critics are obsessed with hyperbole and being overly angry and also poking fun at that “Nintendo has FORGOTTEN about Super Mario” video because nothing say’s Nintendo has “””forgotten””” a property like releasing so many games in that franchise in the Switches now almost 7 year life cycle.
To give you an idea of just how bad this has been, the last story about one of my OC’s I wrote was back in April of last year. It was a parody of the Peaches song from the Super Mario Bros movie but sung from the perspective of my girl Mikaela and she was singing about Nessa from Pokemon Sword and Shield as I do have the two in a relationship and loved that part from the film. And before that the last proper full story I wrote was in September of 2022 of Tom Nook from Animal Crossing finally being fed up with some people not paying off their loans at all and taking action tasking my sona Michael with collecting the debt from one of those residents who originally started as a joke OC I made for an April Fools day joke. That’s a pretty big gap to have as someone who is a writer which is actually why I originally tried experimenting with Micro Stories at first since they were only about like two or three paragraphs long and didn’t take much effort out of me. But even those I started to fall out of wanting to do.
So why have I stopped having a passion for something I use to love doing ever since I first started on DA? Well, it’s not for one single reason but actually a couple.
1; I’ve started to find it boring! No matter what I want to write, no matter how much I love the idea and no matter how much free time I end up getting so that I can do a lot of writing, usually about like 5 or 10 mins in I get board of writing and more often than not I end up thinking to myself “I would honestly rather be playing video games or watching a show I’ve been meaning to watch.” Plus, I can only write “this character said this” or describe what someone looks like or is wearing so much before I get bored.
2; Written work is something I’ve always struggled with anyway. I grew up on TV and video games and very little written stuff which might sound ironic coming from me but it’s true. I once tried reading one of the Harry Potter books as a child and I got one chapter in before thinking to myself “I’d honestly rather be watching the movie that’s based off this book.” Hell, I even tried reading the in game books in Skyrim but when I did I would always go “I’m spending my time in this game doing THIS instead of going on an epic and exciting quest?” The only time as a child I’ve ever read a book all the way though that wasn’t one of those ones that only had like two short paragraphs on each page and was like 15 pages long was in 2009 when a friend let me read an old Choose Your Own Adventure styled Super Mario book but that only because it was on a school trip, we were on a long train ride that took several hours and we weren’t allowed to bring our handheld games systems with us so there was practically nothing else to do. It’s a problem I have been trying to fix for many years and sometimes I do read stories on DA when I get the chance, but written works just always been something I’ve struggled with even as a child.
I mentioned before that this is an issue that my passion for this has been dwindling for a while and I’ve tried to find ways to get around this. At first it was writing little short stories to attach to my pics. I was mainly inspired to do this by the likes of other’s like IncredibleIntruder who like me is into hypnosis and especially belly dancing but also puts little short stories in the descriptions of the stuff he commissions and uploads to his page and still continues to do so to this day. I HAD experimented with this kind of stuff before coming across there content but it wasn't until I started seeing some of there commissions I really started to take my stories for my pics seriously. And I’d continue to do this for a lot of my commissions as well. Even if it was a pic the artist didn’t give me permission to upload like with that Symbiote Shantae and Rottytops pic I’d still write a story for it! And eventually, I just only wrote up a short synopsis of what happened in leading up to what we see in a pic in its description because I wasn’t having any fun with these stories anymore. Which again, sucks that I feel that way because I do think about this stuff a lot. Especially the pics based around my self insert sona, something I’m extremely proud to have created, because the whole reason that exists was born of decades of me having a hyper active imagination and always imagining myself actually in the worlds of the games I play, especially ones that let you play as customized characters such as Wii Sports Resort or Mario Kart Wii, and making up my own little Kingdom Hearts styled crossover universe but wasn’t just relegated to stuff belonging to a single property… And also the lore not being a headache to get used to.
For example, the pic of my sona becoming an Ankha Drone I had this whole story planned out while it was getting worked on of them walking into Ankha suddenly in their home on their island with two other Ankha Drones and would be the ones converting my sona into one of them. Then there’s the one of them in the coils of Naga Shantae which would have been right after an encounter with Risky Boots and both my sona and Shantae being very exhausted and Shantae offering some nice and snug coil hugs until we were both ready to head home. And the Techno Drone pic where the story would of involved them knowing about SuperTechno (the artist of that pic who’s sona turns characters into fembots) hypnotizing ladies into being his Fembots while still extending it to males, not being aware of the fact that many of the Fembots in Techno’s army were kidnapped, asking if he could allow himself to be a drone with one of the main reasons he wants this and allows himself to be hypnotized a fair bit is because of not having the best mental state, something I obviously am implying I sometimes have and this was my way of projecting onto them. Similarly, the Ashour Drone pic I got of my sona was going to have a story of them finding Shantae as an Ashour Drone and confused on why she’s the way she is which leads him back to Ammer (again, artist of that pic and who’s sona is a freelance hypnotist hypnotising willing people into being his Ashour Drones) and after looking into him and his drones a bit more offering to be one of his Ashour Drones for a similar reason to the Techno Drone one. Even my most recent pic of my Genie AU sona with Urbosa I tried to write a whole story of her originally finding the lamp and the two of them exchanging some dialogue before using hypnosis on her to influence her wish for a massage.
And yes, this applies to Mikaela pics as well. The collab I got with Violet Scales featuring both our OC’s I wanted to write a story of Mikaela stumbling upon a snake basket housing Jermisha during one of Mikaela’s erotic photoshoots as an explanation as to why she was already dressed in bedlah to begin with. The pic of Naga Mikaela mummified I wanted to write a story of her trying to surprise attack Eliza from Skullgirls to potentially add to her harem but backfiring and resulting in Naga Mikaela mummified by Eliza and coupled with some taunting from the 1000 year old Egyptian Vampire followed by her telling the Naga that she’s going to make a great display peace for her place. Even the pic of Naga Mikaela with Sharah I considered writing a story about her finding Sharah’s ring and putting it on not knowing that there was a cute genie girl inside and that’s how they met.
Hell, even writing this I struggled with doing and the only reason I pushed though was because it felt wrong to not have any new full-length stories without giving an explanation on why. Now at this point I’m sure a lot of you would be saying “Oh there’s an easy solution for this. Just use something like ChatBotGT or some other AI program to do the stories for you! Does all the work and gives you more time to do other things.” But I hope you NEVER fucking said that because telling me to use a style of generative content, which is notorious for being built of stealing other people’s work and passing it off as something ‘original’ just to get over my own lost desire to write is fucking stupid! Honestly, I think the better and more healthy option for me is to just stick with what I’ve been doing for the last few pics. Short descriptions and a brief summery that still add’s lore to my characters if needed. That might disappoint a lot of you who followed me solely for the writing but let me ask you this. What do you think is more important? Me forcing myself to slog though writing a story I’m not having fun writing and even if I do finish it my reaction will be more of a “thank God that’s over” reaction than any sort of positive one or doing shorter stuff that doesn’t take as much time to do and I know most people probably don’t even read anyway (sadly) so I can focus on what I enjoy more?
In fairness I knew this would happen eventually, because how many stories have you heard of creators who have lost their drive and motivation for what they enjoy doing? Need an example? How about Hideo Kojima who didn’t even want to work on Metal Gear Solid 4 originally because he just didn’t have the same passion for this franchise as he did once and the only reason he even agreed to work on 4 in the end was because of all the death threats he got from fans? Or how we almost got a new Jak and Daxter game in between the release of Uncharted 2 and The Last of Us but it ended up being cancelled because no one at Naughty Dog felt any motivation to make a new Jak game and they literally went “Are we really doing this because we want to or because of marketing reasons?” Or how about Geroge Lucas having to put up with so much hate and harassment from Star Wars fans though out the 2000’s just because of how he was telling the story that he created to the point where it just wasn’t fun for him anymore and gladly sold the franchise to Disney when offered without a second thought. (And before any revisionist historians try to comment “umm, no actually! That’s not it! Your just being a Disney apologist!” Clearly you don’t remember what George Lucas said in an interview one time before months before the Disney buy out. “Why would I make any more, when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a horrible person you are” anyone?)
So yeah, I’m sorry if this is sad news to anyone. But because I lack the passion I once had you really shouldn’t expect any new long stories for a good long while.

Woman roasted for wild rant about Woolies pride cupcakes
New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/woman-roasted-for-wild-rant-about-woolies-pride-cupcakes/
Woman roasted for wild rant about Woolies pride cupcakes
Tumblr media
An Australian Twitter X user has deleted a wild homophobic rant after getting trolled for claiming Woolworths’ rainbow cupcakes promote gay sex.
On Wednesday, the Australian supermarket chain started selling the range of “Love Proudly” cupcakes, adorned with a rainbow coloured heart.
A dollar donation from each sale of the $13 (!) nine-pack of the cupcakes goes to LGBTIQA+ youth organisation Minus 18, Woolies says.
But in a now-deleted social media post that seems to be serious (but hopefully isn’t) the woman complained that seeing the “gay cakes” made her think of gay sex.
“I am looking to buy some caked and just came across your Love Proudly Cup Cakes,” she wrote.
She then falsely accused the supermarket of “promoting sexual intercourse to under 18’s” and asked, “how low will you go?”
“Also what is the purpose of your Love Proudly Vanilla Cupcakes?” she asked.
“Do they: A. Make you gay? B. Make you better at gay sex? C. Suggest people who aren’t gay should be ashamed? D. All of the above.
“What do your shareholders think?”
“do cupcakes make you gay” can I get str8 people a glass of water or something?? they’re clearly not okay pic.twitter.com/96YeInYYeI
— hiero badge | انقذوا فلسطين 🇵🇸 (@hierobadge) February 7, 2024
‘Are straight people okay?’
The now-deleted X post spread online, prompting some hilarious responses from people who confirmed the gay cakes had turned them gay.
Comedian Kirsty Webeck confirmed, “Woolworths, I just settled down to eat one of these gay cupcakes and BOOM! The L Word started playing on my TV! My TV was UNPLUGGED at the time.”
“It’s true, my parents forced fed me rainbow cupcakes and now I’m a lesbian,” another person wrote.
“I love how close to being gay all straight people think they are. The only thing holding her back from loving women is diet. Just love them babe!” another person replied on X.
“They should at least be happy that they are vanilla, the most het of all flavours,” someone else said.
Another was concerned for the poster, asking, “Can I get straight people a glass of water or something? They’re clearly not okay.”
“Embracing inclusivity and love shouldn’t be controversial. And if someone’s mind goes to a sexual place with cupcakes, that’s on them,” someone else added.
But somebody else shared that they were concerned about the cupcakes, writing, “If there’s anything about these cupcakes to be horrified about, it’s the best before date. AUGUST!?”
Drag queen JoJo Zaho summed up, “Seek therapy immediately.”

Laser Phosphor Display; The Next-Gen CRT
Advantages:
LPDs would make the perfect CRT replacement, as they are thinner than a CRT, draw 70-75% less power than LCDs, have amazing contrast with no apparent LCD backlight, sport 180 degree viewing angles, (better than CRT's 178) doesn’t require a vacuum or any high voltages as it works on laser induced phosphorescence vs electron induced phosphorescence, (eliminating radiation from no x-ray effect that CRTs get in a vacuum) doesn’t require large electromagnets for deflection as it can use small 2d MEMS mirrors, and doesn't suffer from motion blur that even the best liquid crystal screens can get.
You also don't have the drawback of absent multi-scan like with SED/FED development, since LPD technology is very so capable of this feature. LPD screens also have very high refresh rates up to 360hz, and can manipulate its imaging currently embedded in video-walls & projectors to appear bigger or smaller. (take that you photo shoppers!)
As for the moving optics; These are micro mirrors on a DLP chip, around the same size as one in your PC. These won't be too loud, bulky, or overheat. (Although, one concern I have are the reliability of the mirrors, as if someone knocked or moved them, or the compressor/air supply to the air bearing ever failed.)
Disadvantages:
One disadvantage of LPD is that the displays are deeper than some competing technologies. Because of this offset, Prysm has been developing LPD for video walls and projectors in 100+ inch units. Many question how long it will take Prysm to start developing consumer friendly models. (72 inch TV's would be a good start for them in scaling down from large corporate advertising markets)
LPD only covers 89% of the Rec. 709 color space. CRT displays had a limited color space due to their phosphors and it looks like LPD shares that weakness. (lower resolutions would still look very good)
CRTs were awfully dim and had terrible ANSI contrast. This wasn't addressed with current TD2 LPD technology, so hopefully these are some aspects that could get looked at and improved upon.
Some Potential Concerns Regarding LPD Tech in its current state with Video-walls/Projectors:
LPD can do 14-bit RGB video processing, but this doesn't tell us what the display can show. Since this isn't mentioned on their website, I would be safe & assume that the display can only output 8-bit RGB.
Like with SED & FED prototypes, many wonder how thin the panels could get with LPD technology. Many of this speculation is albeit how unsure analysts think Prysm could get their reflective mirrors to fit inside of a smaller device, per say a phone. In theory, as the screen size increases, the laser/mirror array has to be further away from the phosphor screen, increasing the depth of the display. (this could prevent portable handheld devices like tablets, laptops, & phones from hitting the market due to dimensions)
The DLP chip itself poses a problem with the color wheel they use. For some people, they cause a "rainbow effect" where brief flashes of color will be present across the screen, especially when you move your head or look at the edges of the screen from the corner of your eyes. (This is however solved when using 3-chip systems or separate laser beams. But this will surely cost more to future proof in design)
The Future:
There has been research since Mitsubishi launched their laser displays using DLP micro mirror devices in 2009 where light could be "bent" by passing current through "special" optics, there by losing the need for moving optics. It was in correlation to new optical drives. They made the claim of being able to read entire blue-rays in under a second. Imagine this type of development in LPD technology!

confused
_____________________
 Woooow what a handful of a start to 2023. I think I’ve gone through the 5 stages of grief about 10 times during this month and a half. I’ve defiantly also experience a LOT within the shortest time although January felt like three months compiled into just one.
The BIG, big one was that I actually met someone, well this was December of 2022 but after about a month things were going well for us, actually things were going really well. I really liked this guy and I’m pretty sure he was reciprocating the same feelings back, and for me this was quite big because I had never been in a real relationship before, I mean I had dated a girl but she was my best friend so eh, and I had also dated long-out-of-the-country distance before, but I had never actually had a real relationship, and mind you this was with a boy.
I was nervous meeting him for the first date, hell I was shitting myself, honestly I think I almost considered driving back home, but I didn’t and we had a really great night.
Fast forward we would spend hours at night talking and watching movies (especially watching movies), staying up till 6am until one of us would doze off for a bit and then laughing at the fact we can both see the sun through our blinds. It was really really good, and it became quite a consistent habit to the point where I was wishing I just had one night to myself to play games haha.
I could also see my mood changing and I felt more happier, my family noticed me feeling happier.
A few weeks later after I saw him again things started to change, I mean he had his reasons that were completely reasonable so we talked a little less, took a little longer to reply to each other but it was okay, I had to understand. I just think that it was a little hard for me since we were talking so much constantly, I think I got a bit attached and clingy so I had to pull myself out of that mindset which wasn’t as easy but it got there.
Before I knew it we were not really talking at all and I was missing him constantly, at one point I think I got a little depressed for a few days because of it, since I was thinking… was it something I did? Did I do something wrong?? Whats happening???? But no matter what I could think of nothing has me pointing the finger at myself because we had just been like normal before we stopped talking so much. I struggled quite a bit through those probably 4 days, I didn’t do anything, wake up, watch tv all day, check tiktok a few times go to sleep, that’s all I did for about 4 days straight.
Honestly I would like to say a big fuck you to tiktok for also showing me so many relationship advice tiktoks on my fyp that fed into my anxiety and stress which didn’t help at all.
That was until I got sick of being sad.
One thing that I always admire about myself and pride myself on is how I can change my mood very quickly, and instantly motivate myself to be more positive. So I did. I was more positive and productive than I had been in the last 6 months. I was finally getting around to doing things I had put off for the longest time, I was waking up early, cooking myself new recipes and it made me feel really good!
Something that also helped was that I tend to get hyperfixated on something, in this case it was a movie/ movie characters, so tiktok I take that back thank you for feeding my hyperfixation.
Eventually I decided to text him after about 2 weeks of not talking, even though I was waiting for a response from him I said fuck it.
We talked for a few days but things just went back to normal and it felt like he was detaching himself a bit. But I kept gaslighting myself saying he’s busy, and tired because he was busy, he had a lot going on, but I don’t know things told me otherwise.
Now I think the worst part of this was he never established what we are, he did mention that we were in a relationship and god we acted like it but I just need that verbal confirmation.
I am still waiting for that confirmation and sometimes he’ll do things that will make me think okay we’re all fine, but then he’ll forget things that we had planned to do and I just get sad and confused all over again.
Confused that is the big word, constantly being confused.
Now I actually want to text him and ask him about what we are because I feel like it will be too hard to meet up and idk about calling, and I would like to know sooner or later before I become more confused with myself. But I told myself I would wait until valentines day is done just encase he decides to make a move, and wait until my trip this week is done since I don’t want to make myself stressed or sad.
But as for now the ball is in his court and I’m hoping he makes a move soon.

Thoughts for Today
Wednesday or Hump Day! The coffee is hot and my mind has wandered here or there. I’ve done my normal morning ritual of getting coffee into me, looking at my mail, reading devotionals, and looking at Facebook. I realize that I enjoy not watching the news. Last night, the crazy fellow who is our president, did a state of the union thingy. Idiot. Why would I want to hear what lies he has to say to us? How can people believe him? Well, if people watch the news and believe it, they are nuttier than a fruitcake.
People believe what makes them happy and keeps their world in tack. They believe the lies in commercials, in politicians, and people. Sheep. Follow right along and never question why the wolf is their leader. Crazy.
I guess that makes me one who has trust issues. What and who do I trust? Hmm…. who do you trust? what do you trust? Do you believe everything that is told to you?
I learned to smile when someone is telling me something that’s a completely lie. They try to convince you and want you to go along with it. I will smile and nod my head but think, ‘wow, you really believe the garbage you are pushing as the honest truth.’ I’m not naive. I might show you that as you talk your talk but in the back of my mind, the squirrels are stabbing you. Geez……. aren’t you a special kind of stupid.
I also love it when people try to convince you to do something. My neighbor lady will have her hip surgery next week. She has a relative who will stay with her to help her with her rehab. And that relative will only be with her about a week or so. The neighbor said that she will need someone to help her shower and change her bandages and it’ll be great to have me help her. Say what? I wasn’t asked to help her. I have been a caregiver but let’s slow that roll right there……been. Over, done, not doing that. I am a housecleaner and janitor for a purpose. I am not helping anyone in and out of a shower. This lady is large and I have a bad back. I’m not going to hurt myself. If she needs rehab, well….. she needs a decent place to rehab. Her shower is in a tub where you must step in and out of it. I have limits and she needs to listen. I’ve learned that she hears what she wants to hear and that ain’t working for me.
I dislike people taking advantage of others. I dislike the lies from tv, newspaper, media, and from folks you might know. Don��t candy-coat it to make it sound good to me. As Judge Judy would say, “if it sounds too good to be true, it’s not.”
I think of my dad at this time and the things he would say. He didn’t like it when people ‘bullshitted’ him. He wasn’t going to put up with lies or crappola. I completely get that. The lies we have been fed over the years that comes out and people are not appalled by it. They just accept it as a part of life. Well, I’ve been done with the lies for many years but now, I am even more ticked by it. I won’t accept it or put up with it in my world, thank you.
Well, my tummy says it’s time for some breakfast. I’ve got things to do, places to go, and daylight is burning. The chickens need their breakfast.
I hope you have a good day…..
And that’s the way it is………..
