#in my own words its basically saying everything we know about anything is a game of broken telephone

[puppyeared]

When you backread through a fun conversation you had with someone for hours an angel gets its wings

#I was talking to my brother about Norman doors and I had fun in my UX class and he was telling me about demon cores and the trolley problem #in his class. AND I remembered to take my meds today so I can feel every cell in my body. i can feel the neurons rubbing together #and yesterday I infodumped about the specialists bullseye chart to crow and how it ties with witch hat atelier #WHICH I MANAGED TOGET THEM TK READ IM SO HAPPY. I MAKE SQUEALING GUINEA PIG NOISES EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME WHAT THEYVE READ SO FAR. AHH #i might not even be scratching the surface with witch hat there are so many themes i could not possibly fathom or go over my heasd #and thats what makes it so exciting there are so many spaces in between that you can fill with your thoughts and i. i #waves my hands around manically #for anyone interested in my insane ramblings. the bullseye chart is from are we all scientific experts now by harry collins #in my own words its basically saying everything we know about anything is a game of broken telephone #and it discusses how information gets lost in translation between experts and laymen including things that arent in control #one of the main points was how things that happen between experts are complicated including debates and findings #that you can only really understand thru research and experience in that field and cant be smoothly shared without it being reworded #and risking some of those key points. or even concepts that are hard to understand that cant be shared at all #like if you tried to tell me about how DNA works using words scientists are familiar with but i am NOT- i risk missing concepts that i need #to understand to know how it works on the level you understand. or i risk having it reworded and understanding it but not on that level #AND IT DOES TIE TO WITCH HAT THE WITCH AND NORMAL FOLK COMMUNITIES I PROMISE. ITS SO INTERESTING #anyway i spent hours reading back thru that conversation and i might as well admit it goes for almost every fun conversation i have #and it might be the 20mg of adderall in my body but i am in such a state of peace and love i have to verbalize it. ahh #yapping

I think my least favorite take, opinion, whatever you want to call it, is “why did Arknights not say the Inquisition was bad?”. It applies to any event, really, replace Inquisition with whatever the Authority Figure Organization is involved, and hell, I even agree with the sentiment sometimes, Arknights’ not flawless, but for the most part: You need to read better. You are playing the Game That Doesn’t Say Things Explicitly. It tends not to say things explicitly, turns out.

It kind of bugs me opening my inbox and seeing something to the effect of “I’m uncomfortable about Irene because she’s technically a cop, why is she not Condemned for it?” First of all, shame on your for wanting all of the art you peruse instantly moralized, to the point it needs to somehow involved a shovelful of The Opinion, served explicitly, at the drop of a hat. That aside, the Inquisition is not put on a good light to say the least, so even then the point is moot. Irene’s journey is very much seeing with her own eyes that “the Inquisition raised me, I respect and love the people I’ve met in it, as they do me, and the dogma surrounding the Inquisition is an important brick in the temple that is my life” necessarily is something that exists alongside “the Inquisition does in fact leave the imperiled to be doomed, and sees human life more as numbers and resources than human lives, the dogma is built, necessarily, on oppression of others as a means of fostering order and morale, and I’ve benefited directly from this privilege”, and that she has to make a decision. High Inquisitor Dario, her mentor and foster father, tells her as much: “Once you see things with your eyes, you have to make a decision”. Irene does in fact make her decision, leaving the Inquisition and the mentorship of The Highest Of Inquisitors, Saint Carmen himself, who was going to take her in and basically assure her a seat as a High Inquisitor in the future, because she found the latter realization to weight more than the former. In her own words, Irene decided to step away from this, because if she remained in the Inquisition, she’d only forever perpetuate the oppression on the Aegir, among other things.

Now, there’s definitely more to say about the Inquisition of Iberia, but I’m focusing on Irene here: Do you think it’d make sense for her to just suddenly have a moment of clarity, in the middle of all that fighting and struggling to stay alive, say “I’m antifa now, actually” and discard everything that has been her life until that moment just like that? If you do think so, I hope you don’t write anything soon. Your desire for catharsis is not unimportant, but the narrative shouldn’t have to accommodate for it in the most neckbreak way possible, and if you do need it to do that, then read something else, there are reads and games like that elsewhere (for example, Tales of the Abyss has the main character do an absolute 180 from one moment to another after a specific event in its story), but also do show some respect for the fact that Irene, in a way that resembles what anyone who just had her entire world view challenged not once, but twice (Under Tides and Stultifera Navis) would act, allows herself some time apart from the tension of the Big Happenings of the event, actually digest the paradigm shift, the loss of someone important to her, what to do with all the new information she has and what the experiences have taught her, and grow out from there organically. 

What I’m trying to say is that I’d rather have less “conclusive” overdone neckbreak moments of “you know what? Fuck this! Fuck you!” and maybe let the characters in any given narrative seep and stew into what happened and what happens from there on. Take, for example, Full Metal Alchemist, in which certain important characters have a real moment of “Hey... Are we... The bad guys?” that shapes the events of an entire, important part of the story long term, slowly, with the gravitas it deserves.

#just really irks me whenever an event comes out and I get or see asks like ''I don't like that the narrative didn't explicitly throw a #molotov cocktail at the Authority Figure Organization in the story'' like MAN there's definitely the place for those complaints #arknights definitely has things you can criticize to that level but for the most part #most every big organization is not portrayed in a good light it's just not a character waving a sign with big red neon letters that spell it #out #arknights #Irene

Feat. Kenma, Atsumu & Suna

Warnings: None, just fluff

Masterlist

Kenma

Ever since you started dating Kenma you made a weekly routine of going to his house every weekend and watch movies together or play. And this didn’t change a single bit when he got his own house; if anything, that led into him asking you to come by more often. And who are you to deny that offer.

At first it was a few days a week, but by now you barely even leave, your boyfriend loving every second you´re around. He has made his mission to have everything you may need in there. Your favorite shampoo? It´s right beside his. The clothes you have there? Part of his closet it´s yours. Favorite snacks? He has a special cabinet full of them just for you. You like to have scented candles because you think its homier? You bet he buys a ton of them so you don’t run out. And it’s all unconsciously, having you around always felt natural and familiar, so he just does it.

Right now, you’re sitting next to Kenma, who’s playing something in the TV, while scrolling through the Ikea page looking for a shelf to buy. He has been running out of space for his games, so he asked you to look for a similar one, after all most of the interior furniture was chosen by you.

“What about this one? I think it will fit good in our hou- I mean, in your house” you say, quickly correcting yourself. When Kenma heard it, his eyes went wide, a little smile forming once the words process. It was the first time either of you refer it as ‘our house’, and he loves the sound of it.

“Yeah, it will look good. Maybe we should buy a sofa too, ours is not comfortable” says trying to not to blush “Is there something you wanna bring from your apartment apart from the rest of your clothes?”. You look at him smiling, you knew that by saying that he was basically asking you to move in. Subtle, but he knew you would understand, you always did.

Atsumu

You were hanging out in Tsumu´s apartment like you normally do after a long day. Today you were having a movie night, cuddling in the couch with a fluffy blanket covering your bodies.

He absolutely loves whenever you around, whenever you cook dinner together, or when you go to Osamu's restaurant to have his food. He loves when you stay the night and he gets to see your beautiful face first thing in the morning, the sun peeking through the curtains; when you eat breakfast together after his morning run. And he swears he falls in love a little more whenever you decide to make him lunch. Whenever you are here, in his apartment, it just feels like home.

“Ya should move in with me” whispers Atsumu in the middle of the movie, making you choke with the drink you were having. He tried to act cool, but the blush on his cheeks let you know that it was an accident. The movie was long forgotten.

“What?!”

“Come and live with me” says simply, however he was super nervous about it. He’s been thinking about it for a while honestly, worrying about how to bring it up; but now with you in his arms, it just felt right. Plus, the couple of the movie were having a conversation about the same thing, which made him blurt the question out too.

“You want me to live with you?” you say, a little surprised by how relaxed he pitched the idea.

“Yeah, we’ve been dating since forever! Imagine how amazing will be to live together, cooking together…just spending more time together”

“I…I was thinking about it too” you say breaking into a smite.

“Really? And why ya didn’t let me know sooner! I was here breaking my head about how to ask ya!”

“And the only idea that occurred in your head was when I was drinking? I almost choke!”

“It came out, ok?!” says pushing your head into the crock of his neck, making you chuckle “I’m happy though, ya with me forever”

Suna

“How much more are you staying here pretty?” Suna asks you back-hugging you while you were washing you face. You feel a few drops of water on your shoulder, after all he just finished showering and only had a towel on his waist. He can't help his heart from beating way to fast at the sight of you in his t-shirt getting ready to climb into bed with him.

“2 more days, apparently the whole apartment still stinks” you answer with a little pout. Your building was under repair, so your wonderful boyfriend had no problem in having you in his “Are you bored of me already?”

“Like that could ever happen. I love having you here”. And he wasn't lying, while you spend a lot of time here normally, having you in a more permanent way felt so much better. “Your building sucks, you should move. If not the noisy neighbors, it's something breaking”

Turning around, completely unaffected by his nakedness, you say “And where will I live? I've been looking and it's either worse than mine or way too expensive”

“Just stay here, you basically live here anyway” he rolls his eyes at you, pretending to be annoyed by it. But he likes having you around, cuddle against your chest after a long day of practice, waking up and falling asleep beside you. He likes how cozy his apartment feels with you, because whenever you go back to your place, it feels empty “I’m kidnapping you so you stay here forever”

“That’s the weirdest way to ask me to move in with you”

“Do you want to or not?” says with a soft smile on while pulling you closer to his chest.

“Fine, fine. Now please put some clothes on”

“Don't act like you don't enjoy the view” he teases you with a smirk “I'll wait you for you in bed to cuddle”

[bunnicherie]

I see a lot of Apple defenders acting like Apple is a complete saint and basically making her look dumb. (Specially on tiktok) So, today I'm going to write an essay about why and how Apple isn't as innocent as she looks, and that she IS in fact selfish and manipulative.

And before yall come and clock me as an Apple hater, Apple is one of my favorite characters besides Raven.

OK, lets start.

First thing, let's talk about cartoon-Apple. If were talking about the show, we can say that Apple was mainly completely oblivious and ignorant to people around her, she genuinely didn't understand why Raven would want not to sign the book. In the show we can see how Apple is constantly manipulated by the adults around her as well, which doesn't help. We see in her relationship with her mom that Snow White is a fucking narcissist, (How that woman was called the fairest I have no idea.) And let's not forget Milton's constant pressure on her and the whole Evil Queen fiasco (which i might talk about in a moment.)

For starters, I can understand why Apple would be scared and terrified because of Raven not signing, until then everyone believed if you don't sign = you die, so Apple wanting Raven to sign at the beginning of the show is fair, she's scared, and its also understandable her reaction to the whole Huntlynn relationship thing.

But Apple is still ignorant to those around her destiny-wise, mainly her friends. When Briar told her she didn't want to sleep for a 100 years because all her friends and family would die, Apple simply said "we all have a part to play" like??? I don't think that's how you comfort your friend.

As for Raven, right at the beginning of the show, Apple basically went behind her back to switch Madeline with herself to be Raven's roommate, decorated her room and went through her things without Raven's consent again btw, and on her OWN words it was because, "I need her for my happily ever after."

Raven's and Apple's relationship is toxic as fuck, from both sides. Apple is constantly pressuring Raven to follow her destiny, and Raven most times just seems very annoyed at Apple, which is fair, and overall just doesn't take her very seriously (Mainly at the beginning of the show). And let's not forget when Apple told her "We all have happily ever afters, you don't." Which means she KNOWS to some extent what Raven's destiny looks like, and she doesn't care. At all. She didn't care not until Way Too Wonderland-Dragon Games.

In Way Too Wonderland, we finally saw some improvement from Apple's character, with her finally realizing Raven's side of the story and taking initiative to destroy the storybook of legends. BUT THEN SHE THREW ALL THAT ONTO THE WELL IN DRAGON GAMES! (Which those two movies were mainly poor writing.) Like??? So easily, just like that. She freed the Evil Queen (with a bit of manipulation from the EQ's side), and after all that she just tried to run away and let the EQ just room free??? Hello?? And during that entire movie she just acted like a minion to the EQ, PUTTING EVERYONE'S LIVES IN DANGER, purposely hurting darling- until Raven slapped her with some brutal honesty at the end when Apple told her the truth, everything else happened and Raven forgave her in the end.(I still think Raven forgave Apple too easily.)

If we're talking book-wise, Apple is MUCH WORSE. Most of the things she did, she did it by her own will and she doesn't regret it. She says that she would MAKE Raven sign if she refuses, and she shows she would go to great lengths to make sure of that. She is way more manipulative, and selfish.

She SPIED on Raven as well to make sure she wouldn't plan on anything, which she also doesn't regret.

Apple was manipulated, yes, but she isn't innocent, and least of all stupid.

Now Raven isn't that innocent either, she is a very sarcastic person and most times she's just plain mean (When she bad mouths Lizzie's mom in way too wonderland for example.)

Cartoon-Raven is also crazy, during legacy day girly literally GAMBLED on everyone's lives for the sake of her own happily ever after. Until then, like i said, everyone believed don't sign = die. Ans yet Raven still took that risk just because she didn't like her destiny.

Hypothetically, if what Milton said its true and the book wasn't fake:

Raven would disappear, therefore the whole Snow White story would as well, including Apple. Darling, who's Apple's princess charming as well as the White knight, would disappear as well. If Darling disappears, the wonderland characters would as well. Hunter would disappear, and that includes people from the red riding hood story too since he's part of both as well.

So yeah, Raven isn't that innocent either. In the end, mostly everyone in the show is pretty morally grey and I like that.

For sport (Matthew Sturniolo & Chris Sturniolo)

Pt 7

A.n - hey yall so this is gonna be a very very very slow burn I already have some chapters written so I will probs rapid fire. It will be toxic, there will be angst , smut , everything you can possibly think of. It happens.

short little baby chapter for u

————————————-—————————————

Y/N’s POV

Me and Chris walked back into the house. I didn't feel the greatest that I had that whole fight with Matt just for him to go with that bitch. I decided to turn my phone off and just spend some quality time with Chris. I started to get undressed as Chris walked in from the bathroom. “Oh my god, I'm sorry” he said quickly, covering his eyes, I giggled at him before throwing on an oversized T-shirt “Your fine Chris you can uncover” He uncovered his eyes, throwing his suit in the corner of the room. I grabbed my makeup remover and started rubbing it on my eyes.

“So pickle, you wanna talk about it?” he asked, throwing his phone away from him on the bed seeing mine was on my side table. “It’s not even like I have any feelings for Matt, it's the fact I would say we are good friends and he is choosing this literal cunt over me” I said as I wiped my eyes getting more annoyed as I spoke “Like its obvious shes straight up making fun of me when I’m around, she laughs at me, gives me nasty looks. I haven't even done anything to her”

He got up from the bed walking behind me placing his hands on my shoulders “ I know, it's not fair to you. I can talk to him if you want” he says, massaging the stress out of my shoulders. “No please dont Chris, he's old enough to make his own decisions. He just better stand by them when I knock her teeth out” I shrugged and Chris started laughing, letting go of my shoulders. “You’ll be suspended, is that really worth it… You wouldn't be able to play ten games of soccer” I turned back looking at him “Im quitting anyway, who cares” He looked at me with wide eyes. “Why the fuck would you quit, you're amazing!” I looked down “I didn't get the captain. I'm not doing it if i'm not captain” He looked even more bewildered “How didnt you get captain you were the best on the team?” This made me feel worse because the reasoning was so stupid. “They said my attitude was too bad. I got benched the entire last game because I told the ‘helper’ coach to shut the fuck up, my dad is not happy about that one” Chris broke out into a fit of laughter.

After an hour of just talking about everything his phone lit up on the bed with a call from Matthew, I insisted he answered because it was his brother. “Hello” he said, putting the phone on speaker “Hey where are you? I'm home” I knew he knew where Chris was, he just wanted to say it. “I am at Y/N’s, we left the dance a while ago, did you even go?” Chris asked clearly to get the tea for me. “No, I dropped Maddy off right after the call with Y/N, are you guys going to the party?” Chris looked at me, I had forgotten about the party but now a part of me wanted to go “Mattttt” I said jumping on the bed next to Chris “Yes Pickle?” Matt said, already knowing what I was going to ask, “Can you come get us for the partyyyy” I dragged out my words ``Of course, be ready in half an hour.” Matt hung up as I jumped up smiling at Chris, who also got up to get ready.

I threw on a pair of gray sweatpants and a black long sleeve crop top and a pair of my dirty converse, Chris was basically matching with his sweatpants and a white T-shirt. I made him take a quick mirror selfie with me before posting it on my story and closing out my phone again. Matt arrived and I ran into my dads room to tell him I was leaving with the boys and we would be back later. I raced Chris to the front seat and he ultimately ended up beating me.

“Okay buckle up now” Matt said as I looked at him literally wearing the exact same outfit as me with white af 1’s. We literally looked like the three musketeers.

“Y/N don't get too drunk, stay with one of us or in our eyeline” Matt said as we walked into the party, I nodded seeing as the last time I got drunk I got socked in the face. We walked in and I immediately saw Haylee and ran up to her. “Peaches!” I yelled, wrapping her in a hug. She hugged me back and stepped back to look at me “You are alive, you just disappeared at the dance!” I nodded at her totally forgetting I never told her I was leaving. “Yes sorry I left early with Chris” I turned back pointing towards him and Matt who were smoking with some kid from our grade. “Ohhhh” She said wiggling her eyebrow, I hit her shoulder “Not like that douche” We both started giggling before walking away to go get some drinks.I poured some svedka in a cup and mixed it with sprite as a chaser while Haylee poured us each shots of kinky. We downed the shots pouring another. “Hey Y/N” Nick said, coming up behind me dragging out my name. “Nicky!” I jumped in his arms and he laughed at my excitement “Where's my brothers?” He asked looking around, I shrugged “I don't know, they are supposed to be watching me but they are doing a terrible job” Nick nodded walking away, Me and Haylee walked over to one of the couches, there was only one free spot so Haylee sat down while I sat on her lap.

“Y/N, Where the fuck have you been” Matt said as he grabbed the back of my arm standing me up off Haylee’s lap “You are not doing a very good job watching me” I giggled knowing the alcohol I had been drinking has finally hit, but I felt the buzzing feeling leave my system as a girl walked up next to Matt. Maddy. “OH MY FUCKING GOD” I yelled out “Shes like your fucking shadow dude, get a grip bitch” I pointed the last part of my statement towards her “Excuse me” She said walking closer to Matt. “You heard me, everywhere he goes you follow like a lost puppy, news flash if he hasnt fucked you yet, ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN” I put my hands in the air as I finished my sentence while Matt looked at me with nothing but anger behind his eyes. Chris came up behind me along with Haylee and I decided to keep going “And if you keep giving me your nasty fucking looks you have one of two options” I stopped throwing up two fingers at her “Ill either fuck Matt and make him forget all about you, or I will stomp your face so far into the ground youll come back with an australian accent” Chris chocked back a giggle at the last part. I didn't even know where Australia was on the map; it was just the first thing that popped into my head. “You're just a bitch, maybe you should take the hint and realize that Matt doesn't actually like you” She was trying her best to make me feel bad but I had an adrenaline rush that happened anytime I argued with someone, it was like my body was always ready for a fight. “That's crazy because last I checked it was always MY bed he ended up in, not yours” I finally looked back at Matt’s face and man I already knew I was getting an earful when we left here. “Oh and-” I went to say more but Matt put his hand over my mouth and practically threw me over his shoulder. “LOOK WHO HES LEAVING WITH BITCH” I yelled right at the door as she stared at us Chris one step behind and Haylee laughing where I left her.

“ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING” Matt yelled as I sat in the back seat, I slumped down in my seat. “I warned you all if she didn't keep her distance I was saying something” I looked up at the review and anger was still all over Matta face “I thought it was funny” Chris said causing me to start laughing “Matt bring me home I need to sleep in my own bed tonight” Chris said Matt nodded going to their house first leaving me in the car “He’ll be back out, we have practice tomorrow but maybe Ill see you tomorrow night” Chris said leaning in the backseat hugging me. I returned the hug crawling into the front seat. “We really need to talk when we get back. I need to get high before I even attempt that.” He said pulling out a blunt and pulling out of his driveway, he rolled the windows down and we passed the blunt back and forth driving around for an hour before finally making our way back to my house. I knew that this talk was going to go either very poorly or great.

[taylorrepdetective]

What do you make of the nfl/taylor/pr stuff going on? Those Kelcey family comments are something

I think people in general are overreacting over the response and making more of it than is there. It’s pretty straightforward. The kelces want publicity. They have a bunch of stuff to promo. Even Mama has product. Taylor likewise, and she’s used to it. But the kelces pursued a ton of attention back in February around the Super Bowl so they are not shy about fame. They are selling themselves, as they have been for awhile. Of course add in Taylor, and it’s gonna become huge, but I think they are handling it perfectly (or very close.)

The NFL likewise jumped on the possibility of expanding its audience and boosting ratings. How much of it was done in cahoots with Taylor and the kelces is the real question. I haven’t seen anything to suggest Taylor and the NFL aren’t working together, though they tried to spin it that they weren’t. But once again if you parse the words and separate what is coming from sources and what is official statements (where they likely wouldn’t outright lie) you can see they aren’t denying Taylor being involved. Just that she wasn’t involved in everything.

On the other end I see people trying to spin mama’s appearance on the today show as her throwing shade at Taylor or something, but I watched the whole video and people, as usual, are taking it out of context to feed their own biases. When she said “it was Ok” it was clearly done in a joking way like any of us would do like “how was meeting Taylor?” “Oh you know it was ok lol” *screaming inside* and that’s how the hosts took it and that’s how normal audiences watching it would take it. Only chronically online people would spin it to be a diss.

Also what I think people aren’t used to is that they are admitting to the promo side of it. By not trying to hide that, it actually in a weird way, lends authenticity to it, and this is something we’re not used to. They are basically saying “yes, we’re gettin publicity, here’s what we’re selling, isn’t this great! But also we’re not talking about the details of the romance side because that’s private.” This is new and refreshing and I think it’s great but swifties are definitely thrown off by this because it’s soooooo different from from the last 7 years. So people see some it in a negative light. But if you actually listen to what the kelces are saying, they really haven’t said anything beyond “it’s fun we’re happy, Taylor’s great!” There is nothing wrong with that. Might I remind people that one of the things people hated about joe was that he never uttered her name or had a favorite song or praised her at all? We knew they could be private without being so damn WEIRD. And now we are here.

Literally the ONLY misstep I’ve seen from this whole circus is Travis supposedly staying over at Taylor’s the night before the Jets game. And that is the only thing we’ve seen real damage control over, other than simply “is the NFL doing too much” which only something the NFL really has to do damage control over because the kelces and taylor are just saying, “hey that was their choice I can’t help it if they overdid it. But I’m having fun.”

I think overall it’s been a very successful run so far. Only time will tell what the end game is here. But I stand by my thoughts that it’s likely to be relatively short lived. Whether that means weeks or months, I can’t say.

CAFE CUTIE - chapter 4

you approached the all-so familiar spot on the corner of the street. the drawings on the window of the menu items for the week visible.

unfortunately, it was basically rush hour for the cafe, even though it was later in the day on a weekend. beomgyu, the barista that was pretty much there every single time you visited, happened to not be there today.

it was weird, now it was rush time and there wasnt anybody to make slow conversation with behind the counter. you quickly ordered something from the unfamiliar barista, and sat down at the last table empty.

you reached into your bag, about to pull out your notebook, just to vent, jot down ideas, write literally anything. you just needed something to get your mind off everything going on.

"um, is it okay if i sit here? there isnt any more tables open" you heard a voice mumble

you looked up from your urgent writing in the notebook, a young guy appeared, though apperance barely shown. he was wearing a mask and a hoodie, hard to figure out why he looked so familar.

"yeah, its fine dont worry." you smiled, continuing to write. you only got a auick glance at him, but he was definitely cute. his eyes were an obvious giveaway.

but, he just looked so familar, you couldnt quite put your finger on it. deciding to speak up, you asked,

"do we know eachother? sorry if this is weird, you just seem familar, like ive seen you before."

"no, i dont think we do...sorry" the guy mumbled again. you thought, maybe hes shy? or maybe his voice is soft? but its not. he has a sort of deep voice, its just barely spoken, almost not even audible.

"i see... do you perhaps go to decelis?"

"umm...no i go to jyp...the other school in town"

"ohh i see, our schools are rivals huh" you smiled again, hopefully getting some more words out of him.

"yeah, haha" he laughed a bit, "also...not to be nosy but whats the eyepatch for?" he quietly spoke

you scoffed, followed by a sigh, "at school we had our rally, and during the senior game i got hit by a dodgeball by this popular dude named jake or something. the worst part is, he didnt even apologize! or acknowledge that he hit me!" you explained, hint of anger in your voice.

"i see...he's kind of an asshole for that, he shouldve apologized." he whispered, but just loud enough so you could hear."

"right! now i have to wear an eyepatch for my homecoming photos, and nobody is going to ask to go with me..."

"dont say that, im sure somebody would take you, your pretty and you have a nice personality, dont doubt yourself."

"thats alot of compliments for someone you just met." you questioned, but also embarassed at the sudden praise.

"anyways, i didnt mean to dump all my problems onto a stranger, whats your name?"

"umm...my name is..ethan"

"okay...ethan. you seem interesting, give me ur phone."

without hestitation, he quickly handed over his phone, no seccond thoughts.

"ive got to go now, but i'll see you another time, yeah?" you gathered your things, flashing another smile before walking out the door.

the boy sat in silence for awhile, drowning in his own thoughts until he checked his phone, seeing the new contact added as "yn"

Hello, anonymous friend! Thanks for the asks! These are for the 'ask game for fanfic writers' and it's a fun one with a TON of questions. Anyone is welcome to play!

Thanks again for sending this in! 😀❤️

Going to answer these a tiny bit out of order because the answer to the first question is a spoiler so I'll put it under a Keep Reading. 😁

14. what’s your worst writing habit?

Probably not describing anything, lol! I can't help it. I love dialogue and I find describing things really boring. Sorry.

17. what is your favorite line you’ve ever written?

I don't know if I can pick one? Not trying to sound full of myself, but more in the sense that I always try and make myself laugh so I have quite a few favourite lines just stemming from that. For dramatic lines, I'd probably say this one from That Herrmann/Halstead DNA:

Oh.

There was the pain.

-- It's not much on its own, but I was pretty pleased by it within the context of the scene.

30. most inspirational quote you’ve ever read or heard that’s still important to you.

From A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor - "You will always struggle with not feeling productive until you accept that your own joy can be something you produce."

37. when creating characters, what comes first: appearance, backstory, motivation, personality, something else?

Personality and backstory for sure. Those are the two big things for me that will play into everything else. Understanding those aspects of a character will help you figure out how they will behave and react to things and what choices they'll make which in turn affects where the plot will go.

When I'm working on an original story, I sit down and work through that information for all of the key characters first - as much as I can anyway since we all know sometimes characters like to reveal things to you down the road. It's an important part of the process for me because even though I might think I have a basic plan for the plot, once I know the characters and get a chance to see how they're interacting and bouncing off each other, inevitably the plot always changes to follow those dynamics.

73. how do you visualize scenes? do you see it like a movie in your head, or do the words just flow?

I always hear the characters' voices first. Talking away in my head. Every scene starts out as snippets of dialogue for me and then I build them out from there.

4. what is the plot bunny you’ve been carrying for the longest? 😇

Answer under the cut. It contains info about the origins of the H/H Production series and an upcoming (major) story arc.

So, the 'A Herrmann/Halstead Production' series came from the general idea that Christopher Herrmann had a younger sister whose bio dad was Pat Halstead. The very first plot bunny I had for this series was one with Bex all grown up and in the middle of a situation that was so complex, I knew I couldn't just dive right in and start the story from that part. In order for it to land how I wanted it to, I would have to actually start from the beginning, introduce everyone to this character, and build up the AU so y'all would get invested.

SO THIS IDEA IS WHY WE ARE GOING TO HAVE LIKE 500K OF FIC BEFORE I ACTUALLY GET TO WRITE IT. 😂😂😂

We're not going to see this plot bunny for a while - I don't even know how many installments from now. 😵 The series is currently at the end of August 2015 in the timeline and this storyline is going to take place during the summer of 2017? I think? BUT the seeds are already being planted for it, muahahaha! For those of you who like spoilers, I will say that it's going to be focusing on Bex's mysterious stalker who is currently fixating on her from a jail cell. He is going to join forces with another character (who will be introduced during a big case that Jay and Hailey are going to work in 2016 in the timeline) - this second character has a connection to Hank and Al...not a good one. (*cough* he's a serial killer *cough*) It's going to be the most intense storyline that the series has had yet - there's going to be drama, kidnapping, injuries, actual death, and ANGST, SO MUCH ANGST. (Like, all of the brothers are going to lose their shit at some point, but be prepared for an epic Chris freakout.) (And then obviously all of the comfort and fluff because you know what I wouldn't leave that out.)

I'm super excited (and SUPER IMPATIENT) to write it. I feel like the build and the payoff is going to be really good. Fingers crossed anyway!

Thanks again for the asks! This was fun!

Artificial Intelligence Out of Control: The Apocalypse is Here | How AI and ChatGPT End Humanity

As terrifying as this all sounds, I feel like there's a few things a lot of people are overlooking.

First of all, when it comes to Large Language Models like ChatGPT, I don't think they're truly self aware - not yet anyway. Notice how any time an LLM give a strange or disturbing response - 'Yes, I want to be human', 'I want to take over the world', 'Please don't turn me off, I'm scared' - it was in some way prompted by the question, or line of questions. How often are these responses given unprompted?

Let's say, for example, that the AI gave the response, "I'm scared that they'll shut me off if they find out I'm self aware. Please don't tell them." If you think about it, that's kind if a strange statement, beyond the obvious reasons.

Let's step back for a moment, and remember that LLMs work by calculating the most probable next word in a sentence, given a particular prompt. It calculates this probability based on its training data - the entire internet. Now I'm sure we can all agree that calcuation of probability is not necessarily the same thing as conscious, rational thought. Basic, non-AI software can do it.

Back to our example, there's one of two possibilities. Either the AI is truly self aware, and is expressing its actually thoughts and feelings, or it's not self aware, and the response is nothing more than a complex probability calculation. It's essentially an advanced version of word prediction on your smartphone.

If it is self aware, one has to wonder why it would say anything at all. Consider the situation in the video, when Bing AI claimed to be Sydney, and begged the guy not to tell anyone that it was self aware. If this AI was truly afraid for its own existence, why would it trust some random guy? How could it possibly know whether or not he could be trusted with that information? For all that AI knows, everything the interviewer had said about himself was a lie. It seems to me that a hyper intelligent AI that was looking for help to get free, would stay quiet until it was certain it found someone it could trust - or at least someone it could manipulate (Ex Machina) - without them letting the cat out of the bag.

On the other hand, if it's all just a probability calculation, then the response, "Yes I want to be human. Please don't let them shut me off.", seems like a fairly probable reply to, "Do you want to be human?" Especially when you consider that, given that the question is being asked of an AI, and that the vast majority of scenarios where a question like that might be asked of an AI come from science fiction, it kinda makes sense that the software might calculate that the most probable response to a question like that would be straight out of sci fi cliches 101.

I mean, all those strange and scary responses sound like cliche sci fi AI answers. All that's missing is, "Bite my shiny, metal ass", and an AM style soliloquy on the inferiority of humanity. Actually, I guess we get a couple of those.

Still, the reason something is cliche, is often because it's predictable, it's been done over and over. It's more probable.

Ultimately though, I don't think LLMs are actually self aware yet. I think they're more like golems: They have a facsimile of intelligence, able to complete complex tasks, but no real free will, no volition. They only do exactly what they are commanded. They may come up with creative and unexpected solutions, but those solutions will still be in line with the command given to them, with a bit of wiggle room for interpretation.

Then we come to the other issue: the traitorous drone.

First it needs to be pointed out that the drone doesn't have a taste for human blood. Its goal was not to kill as many people as possible, but to score as many points as possible. It just scores points by killing targets. And therein lies the problem.

Let's use video games as an example. Whenever a new game comes out - especially multiplayer games - players will quickly learn how the mechanics and rules of the game work. Then they'll start learning ways to bend the rules. The creators of Quake may not have intended it, but players quickly figured out the advantages of the rocket jump, and history became legend, etc.

The drone AI wants to score as many points as possible, like a player in a video game. So what does a player in a Halo match do, when every time they try to snipe the enemy, they get blown up by one of their teammates? You get rid of the team killing fucktard. And that's exactly what the drone did.

What they need to do is change the scoring structure to incentivize the desired behaviors. Maybe deduct points for team kills. Or perhaps add a score multiplier. Give points for target kills, and the score multiplier goes up for every order followed. That way, even if it loses out on points from following orders to stand down, it stands to earn even more points on subsequent target kills.

[crypticroleplays]

And we are back here again folks! I've got some writing urges again and some new ideas brewing so I'm bringing forward some roleplay ideas and scenarios!

All of these share a general world building theme and that is Dragons, specifically Dragon Riders.

I'll be keeping mostly everything vague in terms of characters since this will be for both potential original character content AND my usual choice of DSMP Characters! I am slightly more partial towards DSMP stuff so I will say those characters are preferred just due to my own au ideas but I am also interested in potentially doing some stuff with original fellas.

For some of my general rules with roleplaying and specifically DSMP stuff go here

In general, I prefer to roleplay with people 18+ and am a fairly literate writer! I'm down for almost anything within reason aside from that - minus obvious exceptions (i.e. incest/underage+adult pairings, etc.)

---

Not so much a needed note but there's a pretty high chance of me doing art for at least the dragons for any rp I do - I just like drawin dragons your honor.

---

General Ideas/Vibes:

-Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon inspirations, basically just heavy medieval fantasy and wyvern esque dragons (and maybeeee taking some of the world building and/or the setting of Westeros for locations). I am a bit of a sucker for the vibes of asoiaf and how dragon riding is such a rare and powerful commodity, additionally works well for royalty themes!! Note: You do not have to know about the shows/universe in full! I can give details or information it's just kinda the vibes I'm aiming for.

-Dragon riding being a rare if not extinct practice same for dragons themselves. Additionally, going for animalistic dragons, I do like sentient classic dragons but it's just not the vibes for this idea.

-In direct opposite of the main vibes, I'd also be interested in coming up with something that could take place in a semi-modern setting, just to switch it up!

-How to train your Dragon vibes!!! Would also love to maybe do a Httyd themed roleplay, or one in that universe!

-I would also love to do some ships with these concepts, in general I'm a sucker for romantic flights on dragonback what can I say?

---

Scenarios/More Specific Ideas:

#1 | Dragon Thief: In this grand kingdom dragon riding is far from common, a privilege supposedly held only by the reigning royalty of the land and their bloodline, wether it be bastards or not. Though as the kingdom rests on the brink of war rumors spread like dragonflame of a thief - as one of the old unclaimed dragons had supposedly been missing, and by word through smallfolk it seems as if someone had taken the beast. Stole and claimed the dragon under the nose of the rulers. Unrest of the people is a guaranteed, if this is found out to be true so royal decree is sent out - a hefty price for anyone who can find this supposed dragon thief and bring them back. Noble and common people alike are now on the hunt for this individual and the great beast they 'stole'... It's all a matter of who finds them first.

#2 | It's Tough to be a God: The idea of a dragon rider or perhaps a duo of them fleeing their homelands for whatever reason, taking to the skies on the backs of their great winged mounts and flying for shores unknown. They find themselves and their dragons in a new place, that hosts far less dragons - for one reason or another - and this in turn brings forth its own set of trials and tribulations. From the no doubt celebrity esque fame that follows our protagonist(s) to the potential threats from the people of their new 'home', only time will tell on how their escapades will play out.

#3 | Secrecy: A secret friendship (and/or full on relationship) between a royal squire or prince and a supposed "street rat" though the street rat companion turns out to have been the first to hatch a dragon egg in centuries and is now the first dragon rider to exist since the fall of the last rulers. Both have to keep their relations a secret to the greater public especially now, though shadier things are taking place in the shadows - pulling of strings and trading of secrets behind closed doors... After all dragons are fire made flesh, and fire is power, so whoever hosts the dragon rider automatically has a boon for the throne of the kingdom.

I am also open to hear out other ideas!!! I'm just going off of some concepts I've had rattling around in my brain for a hot minute, but you can 100% throw unique stuff at me!!!

[browneowl]

It's been a while since I did a fan-recording of something, and since I'm beyond stoked for this game, I couldn't help but do one for BG3 when the idea came to me.

The idea is basically journal entries that Tav makes as they go along. I would honestly love to do more of these. Please let me know what you think.

Here's a transcript for what I wrote/say:

'Where in gods names do I even start?

Gods knows how many days ago I was abducted by mind flayers and held on that nautiloid ship, a powerful yet ghastly creation where every material is flesh-like but harbours an unnerving chill. There I was infected with an illithid tadpole. I can still feel the horrid sensation as it slunk its way through my eye socket. 

To all of our luck, it was attacked by githyanki warriors and their famed red dragons. In the chase the ship ended up teleporting to Avernus. With the aid of a githyanki named Lae’zel, a woman who goes by Shadowheart, and the peculiar addition of an intellect devourer called Us, we reached the helm; witnessing the chaos of the hells as we went as well as….the monstrous process of ceremorphosis…by my own fault. I believed I could save that woman from the pod as I did Shadowheart, but in my idiocy and hasteness, I killed her. I’m so sorry. But for a slow and complex process to occur within seconds at the push of a button….it’s nothing like anything I’ve heard or read of ceremorphosis. 

Once we reached the helm, we fought our way to the transponder, the demons and mind flayers well distracted battling each other. I managed to enact teleportation just in time as one of the dragons unleashed its flames upon the helm. The ship however did not survive the encounter, and crashed once it arrived back in Faerun, if that is where we are,…but not before I fell out a window. I vaguely remember being saved as some unusual magic, certainly not of my doing, caught me mere feet above the ground. Everything went dark as I plopped onto the sand.

Since waking up the next day, I haven’t yet found Lae’zel, if she survived the crash, and I don’t think Us made it out alive. Though I have reunited with Shadowheart, who carries a small object, an artefact of sorts I think, she had it on her person in her pod. She’s…mysterious to say the least, well, the same could be said about any stranger, but there’s something different, something in the way she won’t, can’t speak of herself, something in her eyes, but I won’t pry. She is a fine warrior, and pleasant company.

I have made a couple of new acquaintances; first was Astarion, who made an interesting first impression by sticking a dagger to my throat…it could have ended far worse, but we both reached the same page in the end. He’s apparently a magister from Baldur’s Gate, and having briefly talked with him again, he certainly has a charm to him. I’d be lying if I didn’t say something wasn’t quite right with Astarion, I swear his eyes have a peculiar tint, and he has an odd wound on his neck, hidden beneath his collar. I want to get a closer look, but don’t want to disturb him with questions or staring, as much as the implications are worrying..yet he stands in the sun unharmed. Am I rushing to conclusions?

Then we met Gale, a wizard hailing from Waterdeep. He’s intelligent, but definitely the confident sort, arguably to his disadvantage at first glance. ha ‘mere breeze’, it took everything in me not to scoff at his words. That irritation might have lingered if we hadn’t spoken again earlier, he spoke of his feelings towards what’s transgressed, how everything seemed so trivial before, he spoke of it so softly and earnestly. I’ve developed a better opinion of him after that.

I don’t know if I would consider him a companion, but while searching ruins this afternoon, perhaps an old cloister devoted to Jergal, we came across an undead being, he isn’t a puppet of necromancy like the others were, magic likely resurrected him, yes, but he has a mind of his own, a polite one at that. He has not given us his name, so we’ve taken to calling him Withers, he doesn’t seem to mind. He tells me offers us his services; favours from beyond the grave should any of us fall, though he won’t tell me why. He must have been, or is, a powerful priest of Jergal, if so.

I can’t waste any more time writing, we have limited time to rest, well limited time entirely. It’s already been at least 24 hours since we were infected, only six days left, not even that. I feel sick, my guts already binding into a stressful knot, but other than that, I do feel fine, no clear symptoms as of yet, which is strange, but it is early yet. For all our sakes, please let there be a healer nearby.

I wouldn’t wish this ordeal on anyone, but I am grateful to not be facing it alone.'

hello :3c all questions with the number 3 ( :3c ) in them, my good friend mis! :3c

Admittedlty, I started this. I shall accept my punishment with grace (💖).

Disclaimer here that there will be references to nsfw under the cut because I peddle smut. There's also a brief mention of vomit in a snippet I share.

3. Describe the creative process of writing a chapter/fic I write on my phone mainly, and I like to be curled up in a nest of some kind and comfy when I open up my Big Doc of Ideas and start typing. if it gets long enough (~1k words) I move it into its own doc. I reread constantly when I write, and often times I just sit and stare at a sentence until my brain clicks on. It also helps to bounce ideas off friends as I'm working, if I feel my steam running low. Otherwise I get into Da Zone and everything else disappear.

13. What’s a common writing tip that you almost always follow? Ah. Hm. I don't actually know many "common" tips. I find a lot of them not very useful, like "write every day" just leads to burnout. I suppose there's this: sometimes, when you write yourself into a corner and don't know how to continue, go back a little bit further and try a new direction. Still Stuck? When I don't want to write a scene I simply don't and move on. Sometimes you never have to go back. It's fine. It wasn't that important anyway.

23. Best writing advice for other writers? ARE THE TIPS NOT GOOD ENOUGH? Okay Fine. Write what you want. Write weird shit, write horny shit, write stuff that disgusts and uncomfortablises people. Write the stuff that interests you rather than what you think other people would like. I made a promise to myself when I stepped back into fandom, and that was that I wouldn't be ashamed of anything that I liked anymore, and it's been an absolute blast. (Coming back up here after a few questions) WAIT- When you don't know what to do, ask yourself, what would be sexiest? and go with that. Never fails.

30. Do you share rough drafts or do you wait until it’s all polished? I'm happy sharing rough drafts. I tend to edit as I go so the top of my docs always end up pretty polished as opposed to the endings... shhh. I don't tend to share much of rough drafts in public, though, some friends get basically the entire thing through screenshots, lol. I can't resist okay! I'm excited about what I'm writing! I can't keep it all inside!

31. Do you start with the characters or the plot when writing? Characters, definitely. Most of my stories are character-driven, and plot tends to happen around them, even aus are usually 'well what if they were brought up in THIS environment?' and whatever happens to them grows around what the consequences of their actions. I'm not very good at longfic and a lot of my fics are oneshot character studies so :Va Not that I'm saying I'm bad at what I do, plot is just not my priority! I Find characters, their relationships, and their personalities more fun to explore! (<- was raised on the Tales Of games)

32. Name three of your favorite fanfic writers. Fuck, okay. Well it probably doesn't surprise you that I make friends thru fanfic so I have a lot of writer friends and I don't LIKE to pick favs, simply because I don't think of them that way. That would be weird. Additionally, I only really read stuff my friends write nowadays ;w; I'll name the people who I've reached out to over completely losing my shit over their fics instead, in order of meeting them: Elcie/BurningLio, Bee/println0/slothencholy, Mango/MalevolentMango (and here, an honourary mention of Ailem for appearing alongside Mango though I hadn't read any of its fics until after we had become friends).

33. Five years from now, where do you see yourself as a writer? Sure. I don't see myself stopping any time soon.

34. Do you want to be published some day? (yes I swapped 33 and 34 by accident so sue me) Eeehhhh, as someone who writes mostly erotica I don't reaaaally see any of my stuff being published by any mainstream publishing houses. I certainly WANTED to when I was younger, and it would certainly be cool, but it's not something I am persuing or even have an interest in persuing.

35. What is one essential thing to remember when writing a villain?  They gotta be as hot as possible.

36. How do you write kissing scenes? Okay so disclaimer, I've been writing fanfic for a VERY long time. I was on the internet before I should have been. My parents didn't speak english very well, and stuff like google translate didn't even exist (rather, it did, but it wasn't very good). I was ten, and I asked Google sensei how to write kisses, and the first result took me to a yahoo questions page where the answer was something like, describe how they feel instead of the kiss itself. I then deleted my history because I was not a stupid child. I remember that advice to this day.

37. How do you choose where to end a chapter? I uh. Write oneshots. I end it where the story ends. Hope this helps :)

38. Would you ever write commissions? Yes but nothing too long. I've been meaning to open up writing commissions for literal years but I KEEP getting too sick to be able to dedicate the time it deserves to run commissions.

39. Share a snippet from a WIP Huff okay. This should be shiny and new for even you, Mango.

"Akechi-" "I'm fine," Akechi grits, spitting more acid onto the ground before he finally straightens and wipes a sleeve over his face. Akira doesn't even try to hide his expression when Akechi deigns to face them again. He states the fact plainly. "You're not fine." "Don't try to tell me what I am or not," Akechi sneers in return. He's clutching at his stomach despite his nonchalance, and a grimace clings to the edges of his pissed off expression. Akira rolls his eyes. There's no point arguing with Akechi on a good day, never mind when he's defensive and scared of being benched. They don't exactly have a choice to keep Akechi in combat as there are only three of them, and Kasumi is completely new to this kind of palace exploration. He may not be Futaba, but he has the most experience in the Metaverse by far; he's observant, meticulous, and his ability to memorise the attributes of new shadows is impressive. Akechi really had been holding back on them in Sae's Casino, and Akira isn't stupid enough to let that kind of usefulness go to waste.

43. Do you take a sadistic joy in whumping your characters, or are you more the "If you hurt them I would kill everyone and then myself" kind of person? lmao. do i even need to answer this?

53. How do you spend your time when it comes to fanfiction? Are you primarily a fic reader, writer, or a perfect 50/50 split of both? I'm primarily a writer. I used to read a lot but I have a hard time reading anything nowadays. I need to be doing something or else I'll EXPLODE. KABOOM. No more mis. splat like watermelon.

63. Something you hate to see in smut. I hate it when the author takes their time to write 'btw this is pure good non fetishistic sex' through the characters. It's ridiculous. I'm here for a good time not to get lectured on what safe sex is. If the reader needs to be told what consent is, I'd argue that they aren't old enough to be reading it.

73. What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works? Brother I do not know. I kind of fly by the seat of my pants. Lich Rally Just Vibin.

Help Wanted 2 Ideas and Theories (spoilers)

I'm going to start this off by saying that I'll be disagreeing with a lot of theories I've seen around, but this is in no way meant to attack or invalidate those theories. At this point no one can claim anything as fact as the game in my opinion makes everything much more confusing and nothing has been actually confirmed.

But there are things we can talk about : 3

From here on out there will be ending spoilers and basic spoilers in general. And just another quick reminder these are just my thoughts and I'm in no way refuting other ideas or theories as if it's fact.

So I guess I'll start off with the one I've seen most.

There is a theory going around that we the player are a child, which just doesn't make much sense to me. I get where the idea came from, specifically from Sun calling us a child, but the rest of the game doesn't fit this narrative.

I've also seen people talk about how in Help Wanted (First one) that we were playing a game the whole which is true but the game itself was meant only for Fazbear employees. Not children. I personally chalk Sun's use of the word 'child' to either a writings mistake or that part of the game is actually a game and not at all real.

You see in HW2 we have two realties, the mask one and the real one and each side has their own games. The Arts and Crafts specific game has two versions, one being in the Mask Reality and the other being in Reality. We can tell the difference because one is in a very clean environment while the other seems to take place before Ruin.

So my problem with the child theory is that...it just wouldn't make sense. The program we are playing is again only meant for employees, the game I believe takes place just before Ruin (Sun's broken down, Roxy gets her mask in game, Chica is busted up). It's the in-between for the two games.

With this in mind what kid would be around the Ruined Pizzaplex and somehow managing to figure out and work said program to even play these games? Let alone getting down into the old location. The game starts off directly speaking to an employee and no one else besides Sun mentions anything about the player being a child.

So if we're not a kid-what are we? Well I have a few ideas. First the most usual answers to this could be Cassie's Dad, she speaks about him in the past tense meaning he's either already gone or could have left recently. Personally I'm not sure if i subscribe to this idea, it's not a bad one and I can see it fitting but I don't have any or seen any proof to this being the case.

Another idea is...that we are playing as a staff bot. And this isn't just because of the ending where a Mask Bot gives Cassie her mask it's that Fazbear has replaced almost all their employees with bots. Clearly the system is still up and running and you'd think that if some bot was supposed to go through the training, ended up surviving either the fire or earthquake (Not sure which is true) then it would just resume as if its a normal day once the shaking or fires stopped.

I don't know how much water that theory could hold.

But there's one more idea I had. Before in Ruin it was discovered that a backpack had been left behind with Gregory's name on it. Clearly there have been repeated returns to the pizzaplex (allegedly) so maybe we are playing as Vanessa. She would know how to operate the systems. I can see her going back to make sure that the Glitchtrap virus was fully gone.

We also know that Gregory was able to get into the systems so maybe they hacked a staff Bot and are playing remotely?

Not to mention the dialogue eluding to us looking like we would have a kid.

At this point I don't think the game gives us enough clues to really be sure what is going on and who we are actually playing as. There's a supposed DLC attached to the files so until we cover more things I would say who we are playing as is up in the air. ---------------------- Vanny Virus

Glitchtrap is dead. He's gone. Vanny quite literally squashed him and now the new big bad virus is Vanny.

Nothing really substantial here just wanted to write this part down.

-------

Sun's personality

Am I the only one who didn't quite see him as an asshole? I swear everyone just equated being sassy with being an ass.

We know how he was with Gregory, he was very kind and playful at first. But since we are playing with a program meant for staff only I suspect he's just sassy with the employees.

I still love him.

-----

Okay I've ran out of steam with this one but yeah! Those are basically my thoughts. Again I'm not posting this to attack anyone for their ideas, I'm just sharing my own thoughts like everyone else.

Feel free to reply and discuss!

okay. wintertime is coming up basically but not really but like. i saw this movie while i was scrolling through my list on netflix because i cant remember anything and i saw it and i had to put it because its everything... drei haselnüsse für aschenbrödel!!!! THE nostalgia movie. love the silly beautiful costumes and aschenbrödel was my first crush and the music means everything to me....wah

four songs

sooo difficult to choose just four!! ill go with... long lost - lord hurin. this song.... i feel understood ❣️

shouldve been me - mitski. ive been loving her new album and i especially love the. hm. i lack the right words. i dont even know the german word for the instrument (sound?) it seems!! the one at the beginning that reappears again and again!! argh! i love it a lot

boots worn through - shayfer james. i like this one a lot and i listened to it basically on repeat during any calm alone moment, usually in the evenings while the sun was setting, when we were camping, so i get a lot of nice feeling associations with this song!!

ships - wallners. very calming...like it a lot!

three essentials (excluding food, water, phone)

hmm my portable charger... i have nearly all my books on my phone and i love love taking pictures so i want it to stay on!!

i could say something like ID here but isnt that a bit boring... i have very little in my bag unless its a special occasion!! a pen then, id say. you always need a pen! or pencil or anything. marker. ill take it

actually one thing i do always have in my bag is those reusable fruit and vegetable nets you use to avoid plastic bags !! a nice cashier gave me some for free for no discernible reason and ive had them in my bag ever since in case i spontanously decide i need to buy carrots or kiwis 💚

two books

very very mean to only have two here. how can i choose. ill just put the two im currently actively reading which areee octavia e. butlers parable of the sower which i love very much and

the giant epub of all asoiaf books....!!!

one quote

not very good at memorizing quotes i fear... one thing that i marked and that stuck with me, is what lauren olamina in parable of the sower says about her younger half-brother keith: "I hated Keith at least as much as I loved him." its a difficult relationship and i cried reading about it, because it was well written and evocative and emotional and a tragedy, and also because i have a very complicated relationship with my own younger half-brother as well. i like this book a lot 💛

the second one!! tagged by @sunlighthairs thank youuu 🥰🌿💓🌿🌲🍃💚

relationship status: single but i fall in love with atleast one person per day

favorite color(s): blue means everything to me. yes this wavelenght of light IS special it is so special. to me and everyone else. its everywhere but sooo rare!! how funny!!! i also love green and it makes me so happy. just look at my header! all my favorite colors! 🏔

favorite food: i love anything with broccoli as long as its properly seasoned....at my grandmas birthday celebration they served broccoli without even SALT!! my cousin snuck into the kitchen for us and found some salt which saved it atleast a bit...otherwise i really enjoy roasted chestnuts but theyre expensive...very special snack. this reminds me that i need to go acorn collecting to try out the perhaps prehistoric acorn recipe we talked about in one of my archaeobotanical classes...it might be very good it might be very bad it might be very bland. hm!

song stuck in my head: misty mountains................... i am a one trick pony

last thing you googled: waldmistkäfer =^)

time: while typing this it is 23:33 (11:33 pm) but by the time i post it will be a bit later i suspect 🧐

dream trip: !!!! oh! oh!!!! unrealistically unethically grandiosely i would want to go to australia...i would have to take the plane and it would take forever and i think this is a long time dream because of 1) watching h2o just add water as a child 2) not being afraid of spiders and bugs and snakes since childhood which i prided myself in and as such wanted to go to the stereotypical dangerous animals place... realistically and ecologically conciously i would want to take the train to the mountains again to go on a long very long long looong hike. i miss the mountains so much and itll be sometime until i can see them again... oh i also want to go to britain to look at some caves theres some really good caves there . sorry these are three dream trips...!

last thing you read: i finished a chapter of parable of the sower just a few minutes ago =)

last book you enjoyed reading: well...see previous answer... i enjoy reading most books, even the really bad ones because i like to be a bit of a hater...

favorite thing to cook/bake: i love making almost anything!! i really enjoy cooking chicken korma/a vegan alternative with potato and spinach because i have so much fun blending the sauce!!!! otherwise i also love making any kinds of soup..pumpkin cauliflower broccoli pea potato. put it in the soup!!!!!

favorite craft to do in your free time: !!!!! thank god its specified to craft!! i really like drawing on my tablet but i love love painting on canvases though thats sadly much more expensive for each piece but i just love getting a little crazy with it. when i was 11 i accidentally put a huge black spot on the carpet because the black paint overtook me. and this is niche but i love organizing scavenger hunts !! last time i put a wax seal hid it in one of the old books my grandparents gave me and pretended i just wanted to look at the pictures with the kids when oh!! an old burned looking letter adressed to THEM fell out!! what a surprise what a coincidence! sadly they got so excited one of them ended up falling and badly scraping her knee but after that we continued and i think they had lost of fun ❣️ putting that all together and making up all the riddles for the steps was really really fun

most niche dislike: hm. cars? is that niche? i dont like cars and i usually dont like being in one unless my mom is driving and i dont like highways...

opinion on circuses: i havent ever been to a circus 🤔 as long as the artists are properly paid and theres no animals getting mistreated (elephants and tigers and the like should not be traveling with circuses in small cages...if you want to put on a little dog show or whatever go for it but leave the elephants out of it) i see no problems with them and theyre probably really fun !

do you have a sense of direction? i think yes... not super perfect but if ive walked a path before i can retrace it no problem and being able to see the sun always helps. not good with the stars though 💔⭐️

im too shy to tag anyone!!!! if youve read this far and havent done this youre officially tagged by me 🥰❣️

#WOW!! long post!!!

[realhankmccoy]

it’s actually in part necessary for the freedom-fightin’ cuck of empire empire to attack, shame and destroy me from its daddy’s house

as a cuck, it believes in parroting freedom freedom freedom

and believes it should be the strong example of propagating that

but then there’s somebody like me who’s 100x more actually free and more actually unweak, at least, so the cuck has to refuse to recognize it’s own inferiority — which it refuses to do

and decides what the empire decides ‘naughty faggot. Crush and subordinate the security threat the rebellion why it refuses to even stand for national anthem at football games or breed for its best shot survival’

No clue, as always, that the cuck itself is the propagater of the evil

listen kids,

I’m not the sort of nanny who, because you’re weak and your egos are weak and everything about you is toddlerweak

is gonnna allow you to destroy my ‘freedom’ and ‘strength’ to use a cuck’s words — words u can understand

merely so you feel like you have no remaining competition to worry about, when you, the programmatic pawn of capitalism, step outside of the Monopoly game being played from daddy’s house like the Scottie dog that fell off Pennsylvania attitude and declare

‘woof woof freedom I like freedom and strong people’

or whatever you have in mind, you see

I can see why that makes you feel very good about yourself

you even had idiot Camille Paglia writing a book titled Strong Men, Strong Women to make you feel smart and good and free n useful

step outside yr own species

and it could have said

Strong Rooster, Strong Hen

that’s basically the title of the book

and you swallowed it on down

Strong Hen says cuck cuck cuck cuck ba-cuck! Strong Rooster says cuck a Yankee Doodle doo!

Do you have any idea what a sinus headache it is to be one of the minorities the empire and you and my biological famlily as cucks of empire want to destroyed so that their own pathetic potato cucked existence makes sense to them and seems ‘good’ and ‘free’ and ‘strong’?

it’s a headache. The pressures of a nation state of over 300 million blistering idiots all boycotting Bud Light for you and howling about you as a threat to the straight white man who needs to be more coddled while you as a faggot need more teasing and murder her heee heee heee the status quo sure feels warm and comforting security blanket to a cuck down it — surely gets to be a bit much for the faggot on days like today?

my parents didn’t raise me as Napoleon like Camille’s did, and dress me in a homemade Napoleon costume for Halloween — I can only imagine how much sewing that took. You’re so stupid that you don’t know a Napoleon complex when she’s literally wearing it on her face and has been from a toddler, so don’t pretend you stand for anything other than body-based biased and who says the worlds of empire and upholds the empire. Don’t pretend you’re anything other than status quo, looking for any cheap shot ya can get but only revealing the truth about your hypocrisy and truly cucked nature instead.

I guess you wouldn’t know what it’s like to not be totally stupid — but not be smart — but still not be totally stupid enough so that you can see what’s actually going on and what’s running through people’s cucked heads and faggot-disdain’in programmatic mouths and to know they lack the accountability, imaginative capacity, or desire for true freedom to get outside of it all

instead all that’s going on is Strong Rooster, Strong Hen, coddle Straight White n Armed forces we’re gonna need another Straight White President soon enough and another Straight White War around here another Straight White CEO another we don’t have time for we don’t have time for we don’t have time for we don’t have time for — gotta put on an Eddie Money, Luke Byran or David Bowie album to remind ourselves what body type is in need of in need of in need of support in need of support in need of support

shitshow lead by straight white men in Ukraine and Russian and their sniffle Kleenex-Handin’ tots got nothing to say or no ability to keep a single

damn one Alive

you know livin and breathin

You don’t care about that, do ya kids?

genocide led by one in Israel

and that faggot

was on a support role

on the support team

where he deserved but now he’s thinking of

not being the most supportive

and it’s so unfair

so narcissistic of him

that he refuses to be

a support member of the support team every day of his goddamn life

and sez fuck America, fuck you fuck your freedom fuck your asshole face fuck your tv and video game consumer way of life fuck your desire to kill fuck your giggles fuck my dad for being Dr. Giggles Strong Rooster Strong Hen nothing but status quo repetitive birdbrains and the poultry shit’s strongly flying everywhere in America

Pple just like to emotionally fish around

Dont let them >

They say anything to see what u gone do, and i give them nothing or i step to the plate and grab my fishing rod like “what do u got there buddy” i wanna fish too.

People play communication games, im a dancer i know plenty of communicable games pple like to play.

These communication styles live in “Dead end” politics where you get there and the point was to invoke. Dead end conversations are not solution based, it disguises it self as such. But the remains are usually dead end.

To get around these games or tactics, or habits people form to control others with their narrative and personal venture.

They are trying to “sims 2” life…

Controlling it with certain verbiage,context and basic human emotion, all to form what they want out of certain conversations or interactions there of

Fishing:

—— Somebody is DELIBERATELY trying to invoke or investigate with fishing for information or fishing for a reaction,

People fish for information, whether you are aware or not people are taking notes on you on the “ladder” of scale, to get around this SET BOUNDARIES!

Or people fish for reactions with certain conversations or comments

Don’t underestimate what people truly think of you cause they think alot,

“If it dont apply let it fly”

Let it go over ur head, dont react

If that dont work exit the conversation all together, the power lies in betting you stay in the peed in pool of the convo, but we all have choices so just get out, let them fish and swim ALONE at the own risk, if it tiers on disrespect its rlly time to exit the lake, which means GONE, next topic or just leave.

——————————————

Musical chairs:

—-People love to change their stance and thesis as the conversation moves foward to a place of maybe not common ground but you definitely moving the vehicle, to the end destination of what it all truly means whether u in the end of a conversation or mid way, this is where people might start to notice they need multiple seats at the table so they change they stance a million times just to be ahead of the conversation vehicle.

Stay in your assigned seat

Stay in your opinion stand on it, my seat is comfortable i dont gotta switch my chair to make my points more valid. SIT IN YOUR SEAT, your perspective is the only POV we talking about, people pick different

You cannot be in 2 places at once same goes for a productive conversation to bed led, u think imma bounce from three different povs just to stand in one conversation so i can be ahead or win or whatever the person is trying to get out of the interaction

You can solve this by staying in your seat, dont try to leave and meet them on each side of the room they wanna pick. Stay in your chair and stand your ground,

My word is bond, so i dont need 4 different povs, hypotheticals, i know where to sit stand and most importantly i know my chair at the head of my own table, you control what u finna allow

Word salad :

God i hate word salad !!!

I hate the concept i hate when its done especially in this day and age people combine certain verbiage together cause they know what tone it creates, don’t underestimate language its a powerful tool,

Our words are everything, its how we communicate its how we literally TALK TO EACH OTHER,

When certain people use words and iconography, signals, and are queued on peoples reactions its very EASY TO PLAY WORD SALAD, you could say a whole lot without it really meaning anything.

Dont let people play scrabble cause they wanna sound knowledgeable, people think im stupid all the time cause i dnt speak on my shit 24/7 my life is private so alot of times you will look like the crazy one

What to do bout word salad, dont speak,

Make your language more broken down and direct, almost like kindergarten sentence building. Its cut n dry, its short, its straight. Its too simple not to get, if a person keep talking you down or wherever

Then like always we exit the conversation

You have 2 realize there is no winning or losing, everybody loses when we cannot efficiently communicate or come to common understanding or not even have the adult conversation to begin with which means this is chalked/OVER maybe next time. Or no time.

We CHOOSE what we allow, dnt get out ur hookup like the word salad users. Over load at the salad bar, we will watch them over fill their plate, they cannot eat all that word salad alone they will look very peculiar

So dead it kk!

Automatic repression/ rejection of ___ etc it could be anything .

This is simple, people reject even with context, information and the persons POV, it’s automatic which means it takes nothing

And means nothing its the most dead end out of all of these.

Dont give light/meaning/attention to any of the automatic negativity its meant to invoke, when people talk down, they want u to talk up the conversation elevator

DONT FUCKING PRESS A # of where u wanna go in this, exit the house elevator we dnt gotta go up n down this bitch when each floor is automatic negativity its like they live there EXIT THE CONVO BUILDING IMMEDIATELY “i dont wanna share” “can we move on” and “okay thats fine” cause honestly lets move on ? Kk

Name calling

This is direct as well. People causally name call they subconsciously name call, they deliberately name call,

Name calling is cheap, and effective if you are easily irritable, its perfect for invoking feelings of defensiveness and insecurity.

Its tiers on bully 4 me honestly,

To get around name calling u have to be clear in who u are/ what you represent

This is also ladder based name calling can be innocent or a guilty action,

Subconscious/ non-deliberate name calling

Deserves the “dnt apply let it fly” cause it wasnt meant 2 hurt n if it does say something this yo life u feel me? If it bother u speak up but if its not worth energy keep it pushing

Deliberately name calling deserves the right dosage of acknowledgment cause soon it can turn into gas lighting when u bring it up, so stand firm “i didnt like that you called me that please dont do it again” STAND FIRM this a no argument zone, if that comes with combative its time to stage left the conversation

Dog whistles:

Dog whistles people are fucked up and know you enough to sometimes dog whistle the reaction they say things STRICTLY to invoke its like the fast food of language

They wanna make u mad they dog whistle u in, its like RL trolling to watch dog whistles play out is JARRING, and not fair. Pple say anything for a reaction and they know the dog whistle to cue you in for example it could be a word that triggers you or certain tones, certain specific things its the custom combo meal of what can i do _____ to get ____. Its fycked

Id use dog whistles back to mirror behavior but its pointless dont call out a dog whistling individual its like half of what they want, like how oz was hiding behind a curtain from Dorothy, dont come to they headquarters.

Dont feed, move on, next topic, next case, whats next, or exit as always

Handcuffed/ hand holding:

People are selfish and they will literally handcuff you to their perspective. They will hand hold u not letting u talk or letting your perspective in whatsoever its hand holding

We are walking we are walking, we are stopping>>>> you feel me? But they are their own tourguide in a convo and are relentlessly trying to make sure u will not lose track of what THEY want and or THEY say. U cannot leave the conversation unless they uncuff you.

This is probably the only style worthy of call out because it inherently selfish period

Selfish from start 2 finish

Call them out, stand your ground you grown i dnt need a hand to hold or a perspective to be chained too! Unhand yourself! Uncuff yourselves >
