It’s Christmas morning and your parents actually got you that 7ft tall robot jester you’ve been raving about and now you have to awkwardly unwrap them in front of the rest of your family.

#this post was inspired by something I read a long long time ago that I couldn’t hunt down if my life depended on it #its really funny to imagine your hyperfixation in real life and your family seeing it with absolutely no context #how would you even begin to explain it #I would also like to think that the daycare attendant would just seamlessly fit into your family for that day and would help with #preparing the Christmas meals and cleaning up all the torn wrappings and ribbons etc #if you have yunger relatives the dca is running around with them playing silly little games while the adults are sipping eggnog catching up #just a really wholesome hypothetical where everything is peaceful and happy and everyone gets along #and no one really questions your big and very friendly sociable gift #anywhooooo it’s October why am I thinking about this #dca #dca Christmas #sb daycare attendant #Christmas #hypotheticals #crunch ramble

Kai raised Nya

And what I mean by ‘raised’ I mean: Of course they had babysitters. But Kai is the one who mostly nurtured Nya. Sure the Babysitters and the Village could have been providing for these two, but what about the other needs?

I imagine he was the one who sometimes cooked for her when the other babysitters were busy. The one who probably helped her with homework, helped her with chores, did his and her laundry. We already see that he at least played games with Nya.

Something I usually do with my little sister is not only help prepare her clothes for school but also prep the table so we can both eat. (Sometimes for the entire family) with Nya and Kai obviously leaning towards Asian cultures, usually the older siblings are seen as the Secondary Parents.

So in a way, he DID raise Nya, not in a sense of a ‘parent’ where they provide the needs and support for the child. But in a way that a brother could possibly provide. Love, Care and Respect.

I would also imagine that the Babysitters never really stayed for long since they have their own homes and families to go back to. Especially since both Nya and Kai remark ‘it was just me and my sibling’ cause most of the time It was just Kai and Nya.

That’s just my interpretation on the ‘Kai raised Nya’ thing. It’s more of an elder sibling instinct than a parenting instinct.

#ninjago #ninjago au #ninjago kai #ninjago nya #it’s complicated to explain #but I myself am an older sibling #and most of the time I am technically raising my sister #I tend to remind her of certain things #I tend to cook for me and her #I prepare her clothes in the morning #her lunch #her snacks #I prep the plate so that most of us can eat. #after school I have the need to look for her #when something’s wrong I panic for her #When she’s sick I have to give her medicine when my parents aren’t around #basically sometimes older siblings in some cultures have some sort of ‘parent role’ #and again they are usually viewed as the second parent

Sitting here wishing my ADHD was more severe just so people could realise I actually have a problem-

#adhd #probably adhd #undiagnosed neurodivergent #undiagnosed adhd #stuff like this makes me doubt if i have adhd at all #i tried to explain how when i was doing my gcse preparations i would take a day to do an essay #“oh it takes us a whole week” #NO THATS NOT WHAT I MEAN #I HAD A WEEK TO DO IT BUT I LEFT IT TO THE LAST DAY #ON THE LAST DAY I COULDNT PROCESS THE QUESTION #I KNEW WHAT IT WANTED. I KNEW WHAT I SHOULD WRITE. BUT I ALSO DIDNT #i love english. both language and literature #but it would take me hours to even work out what i was supposed to write unless it was under timed exam conditions #when it was timed the panic would put me into hyperdrive #but i only realised last night that maybe taking a full day to work out what to write on a simple essay might not be normal #but then people point out that this kinda thing is normal and i just. dont know. #do i have adhd or am i just giving myself excuses for being slow #or do i expect others to be so much faster and see myself as slow in comparison #im so sure i have adhd but i dont know either

I've decided that the only way I can get closure on all of the violent excitement I feel over Spies are Forever takes 2 simple steps

Step 1: Meet Curt Mega (and or Joey Richter)

Step 2: Violently shake his shoulders while failing to form coherent thoughts

Am I aware this will never happen? Yes. Yes I am, but listen I also didn't think I could draw all 55 saf characters and I did soooooo

#GNAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE #I NEED TO BECOME AN ORB OF LIGHT TO PROPERLY EXPRESS MY FEELINGS ABOUT SAF AND ALL RELATED MEDIA #I AM LIMITED TO THIS MORTAL FLESH SUIT THAT THE DEITIES ABOVE PUT ME IN AND ITS INCAPABILITIES ARE INFURIATING #I APOLOGIZE FOR THE PERSON I WILL BECOME WHEN I GET MY GRUBBY LITTLE FINGERS ON A DIGITAL TICKET OF SPY ANOTHER DAY #THEY HAVE BEEN ROTATING IN MY HEAD FOR MONTHS NOW #Listen maybe if i manifest hard enough my 2 step program will become possible #Eds 2 Step Program #i am experiencing violent excitement #thats the best way to explain it #its excitement but its violent #im not just pumped i need to hit something #its autism awareness month so be prepared TO BE AWARE OF ME BRO #saf #spies are forever #spy another day

Discussing the NCR (Fallouts NV's Military Industrial Complex)

Fallout regularly discusses the idea of the military, its faults, its strengths, and most importantly, the psycho-social aspects of it regarding those who are members. We have seen a direct critique of the military generalized through the Enclave's overt nationalism, the hoarding of resources and indoctrination through the Brotherhood of Steel, and an almost eerily modern critique of the whole military-industrial complex through the NCR in New Vegas. In these series of posts, I will be focusing primarily if not exclusively on the last one.

The NCR we see in the game is strictly the military side of things and the depiction of active occupation during a time of eminent war, conflicting factions, and resource scarcity. It is in this we are missing a major factor that negatively affects the view of the NCR in the game and out: Civilian life along with citizen opinion on the military. While we do get Mojave civilian opinion on the military (often neutral or negative) we do not get those who are New California Republic citizens, not those who actually discuss the military more so not understanding the importance of the occupation and the President's choices.

We do not see how life is regularly lived by the average citizen as we have not seen New California in New Vegas, though, we get words and glimpses that the people are relatively content in the growing country minus the fact many people are not happy with the choice of encroaching on the Mojave. This most similarly reflects it's real-world application that many civilian citizens reject acquisition and war due to the economic effects it has on the country and the general violence/loss associated.

In this, we come to an issue of losing a perspective that is unique to the NCR as a military representative. The Brotherhood is notably a place where its active members are intertwined with its efforts, the young are raised to be scribes, paladins, etc... To where even if one is not fighting for The Brotherhood, they are still intertwined, it's propaganda is the life. The Enclave is even more cut n' dry in that it is mostly made up of government representatives. It is a group even smaller than the former, even more selective and intertwined that their propaganda IS a form of Eugenics. The NCR is unique in that there is a clear distinction between what is the military force, the civilian population, and the choice if one wants to be a part of the former.

There is a distinct difference in the cultures of the factions you are born into and those you must enlist or join (forcibly for some). While this is a long-winded way to get into the actual discussion I want to facilitate throughout these posts I wanted an initial background post to understand the aspects I am and am not exploring and explaining along with a hub post to link everything I intend to discuss in the coming days and weeks, starting with:

Why Do People Join the NCR?

...which will be discussed and linked back here like everything else regarding to this topic.

Links: TBA

#fallout #fallout new vegas #new california republic #these will be longer posts so be warned #prepare to be sick of me #you thought i could yap before #should pin this but Im just gonna link it in the pinned post to be concise and since this isnt just a fallout blog I just am just obsessed #plus I dont want it to be centered focus while im only half way through with the first word doc #the three posts are just the beginning on my disection of the NCR and how the MIC is shown through it cuase #like pls its so much more nuanced with the specific ways each character in the faction interacts #at least the ones you can talk to and have options for like i know so many people do independent route but its so intriguing and you get ho #the military takes advantage of people but also how the individuals try or believe they fight for a good cause cause of all the brain washi #like some perpetuate and others dont but its a system that just gets worse the higher you go like grrrrr #a take cant be nuanced if you refuse to look or discuss the reasonings of another side or generalize their arguement through a personal len #like you need to be objective at points cause while you may feel a way in an analysis the context explains why in canon they feel a way #a retrospective on tumblr??? shocker #was gonna make this one giant mega post but it wouldve been cluttered and i wanna space them out cause its a lot to work on in one sitting #and what if I want to be silly in between???

Social anxiety is finding someone you feel comfortable talking about subjects to, but you're never really sure when they are actually wanting to discuss basic FNAF lore or just think you're being annoying again

#me and a friend had a in-depth conversation about it on Halloween and now he's like 'yeah okay' #we had such a good conversation as well I was prepared to bring evidence HEAAAAAAAAA #I am so sorry it is just a strong brain worm #FNAF 1-3 lore #classic FNAF I mean #no SL or Pizza Sim #I have no clue how to process any of that :p #AND NO FNAF4 BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN RETCONNED AND RE-EXPLAINED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND STILL WON'T MAKE SENSE #EVERYONE has a totally different explanation for it and I'm not hearing anyone out on a reasonable explanation #fnaf #five nights at freddys #tbh this was like the first time he saw me in glasses since high school #and I kind of have a glasses theory that people treat me differently because of them-and I've seen it a bit with him #because people seem to act like I'm less responsible and interesting with them on than without them #is that wild???? idk

So my wife and I have been watching Utena, and we just finished episode 23.

We're uh. We're not doing so hot over here.

#revolutionary girl utena #we were both warned about this #and still weren't fully prepared #this is one of those that needs an explained series or like five consecutive viewings to fully grasp isn't it #I feel like I'm following the general idea and missing a ton of hints #I am not good at symbolism utena I am not keeping up

[h-f-k]

5:30hrs later and i only have to make the vinyl to finish this fucking re-design, i wanna put my eyes on water.

#i am SO happy with how this turned out #i'm scared of how i'm going to explain all of this while making sense so prepare

you know how sometimes theres some popular character and most of the fanstuff is mostly accurate on the surface but you personally have some lived experience shared w this character that enables you to have a deeper understanding of little nuances under the hood that inform things like their decision making and stuff. its on a sliding scale of accuracy of course. personally i mostly get this with my mental disorders with characters such as ogata but sometimes theres LITTLE TINY THINGS that bother me about specifically the various violence related fetishes. and the fact that it bothers me itself bothers me cuz i feel like. "oh Clearly you havent received or inflicted wounds for sexual pleasure". yes obviously they havent done that. nobody else does that. i am abnormal in nature and insane in the head

#obviously not Rlly nobody else im well aware. but it is uncommon. and it doesnt Rlly bother me but i can often tell #yes ienaga vore jokes are funny but i dont think shes into vore based on what we see of her character and attitudes towards cannibalism #however. usami and tsurumi 100% are. tsurumis gay little speech in that scene would not be out of place on a vore sideblog thats EXACTLY #how certain ppl talk about it. thats literally It. tsurumi tokushirou invented vore in 1907 #thats just the most clear cut and easily explainable example i think but there are so many little bits of tiny nuance idek #there are different attitudes of course but i feel like ienaga doesnt rlly feel any Connection to eating ppl and sure there are ocs and #little stories or scenarios about the pred just being like 'yea its just food' cuz some preys find that rlly hot but. irl there arent rlly #any of that kind of pred cuz if they dont care then. they dont care lol. like they dont Care about vore. so theyre not into vore. u know #so i think shes not into vore sexually and such shes literally just here for medicinal purposes or w/e. but that is just my opinion idk #sorry for vore essay in the tags i am autistic 👍 those deviantart stamps are not ironic they are a Warning #if anybody like. cares about being 1/5th of a mm off in their depiction of masochism or smthng i will answer questions. but be prepared for #me to get at least this ^^^ autistic about it. i dont have a phd in masochism but i can at least say with certainty that i have never #said 'it hurts so good' in real life. the full sentence like that is just a little cheesy in my opinion. 'it hurts' usually speaks 4 itself #og post

Just a note to clarify my personal policy on AI, at least regarding the content I’ll reblog on this blog: I’ve thought about the reasons why text-based AI like chatbots amuse me while art-based AI is something I try not to engage with. Maybe it’s because being able to write text but not being able to draw capably makes me value text a lot less. Maybe it’s because I don’t really encounter ‘fic facsimiles’ on AO3 (yet) and the chatbots read more like hilarious sometimes unintentionally profound RP (I should also say I don’t RP in any formal sense either though). Maybe it’s because visual anomalies somehow feel worse than a chatbot saying something inane/insane.

But I’ve arrived at the conclusion that for me it’s largely a question of volume and venue.

I think it’s largely because AI art is already infiltrating and spamming up google image search results, and deepfakes are already confusing people sometimes, whereas AO3– thus far— has limited presence of AI (neither bots posting directly, nor people posting their AI-drafted fic… that I know of I guess).

Just to be very frank, I’m not sure I’d have a problem with AI if it wrote fic that I liked and couldn’t tell was not written by a human but was still clearly marked as AI. I think for me it’s the sheer volume and the indiscriminate spamming and the clogging up and drowning out of human content that’s freaky and threatening (ie Twitterbots), not the fact that it might produce something so good that it’s better than what people come up with. Does that make sense?

I know this is an unpopular way to object to AI. I have moots who mask their fics from AI. Maybe I’m simply pessimistic about any practical way to avoid AI siphoning all human knowledge (ChatGPT has finished with all text online and moved on to transcribed video content, and I don’t see a future where all our cellphone/Zoom/FaceTime conversations don’t get fed into it at some point). So maybe that’s why I think it’s best to focus on AI output being kept orderly and manageable and clearly marked, because it exists, it’s very hard to limit the input teaching it, and ongoing improvement is an inevitability.

#feel free to tell me why I’m focusing on the wrong thing #these are half formed thoughts to explain my visceral reactions #I’m prepared to rethink my stance #also this discussion is largely focused around fandom-related content #I am not addressing anything about real life jobs and automation here #ai

I spoke too soon I should have known that was too easy for him I’m so tired I was like hey! I might have found someone interested in subleasing, if they end up not wanting to ill start making posts places but either way, ill need a move in date to advertise and tell people. Do you have any estimates of when you might find a place yet?

And my fucking roommate replies with a bunch of links to apartments like well you could move HERE like fuck you fuck you fuck you jackass this wasn’t what we agreed on and also 90% of the places he sent me were places I already contacted and had no availability/a waitlist/couldn’t sign until august and the other 10% were WAY out of my price range also none of this solves that I don’t want to sign a new fucking lease cuz I want out of this fucking fuck ass city between you and your bf you make almost TRIPLE what I do you will have such an easier time finding a new place and moving plus you wanna stay in this stupid fucking fuck ass city just fucking GET OUT

#i am genuinely starting to hate this dipshit #I get moving sucks! #but also this is all YOUR fault so YOU should get the shittier end of the deal sorry not sorry #also me living on my own means I will go from about 600 dollars of extra income s month #to about 200 to fucking ZERO depending on what the rent is #how about you kill yourself #‘I’m not trying to make this harder for you’ #you are actively fucking me over in sooooo many fucking ways dude because you are incapable of considering other human beings #he also has less bills than me????? #like motherfucker doesn’t even have a car payment cuz his mom GAVE him a car be fucking for real #he’s spent his whole life pretty much kinda jusy doing whatever he wants and getting whatever he wants #and it’s reallyyyyyyy starting to fucking show with this situation #GOD #I told him that doesn’t work for me and explained why to him AGAIN #and he has no answered so lol we’ll see #he was also like ‘but you’ll still have to live with someone you don’t know and you didn’t want that 🥺🥺’ #like oh my god #yeah in an ideal world! no! I wouldn’t be doing that #but the issue wasn’t literally living with some guy I don’t know #it was being walked all over and treated like shit and not considered #nor was I asked about it lol like now I’m seeking a new roommate I was never doing that when you moved him in so I wasn’t prepared for it #fuck you for all of a sudden acting like you care about what’s ‘best for me’ #and that it’s living alone when it quite literally fucking isn’t for so many reasons #you just don’t wanna fucking move and are scrambling now that I’m actually enforcing this #kysssssssssssss #kaz rambles
