#recreating an argument

[buggachat]

seeing a lot of talk of the season 5 finale, which is fun, i get that it was controversial (honestly the fact it was really risky is kind of one of the things i like about it lol) and wanting to add my two cents but can't think of much i haven't already said before

but something i do want to emphasize is that season 5 ending on Marinette telling the biggest, boldest faced lie she's ever told (that goes far beyond "protecting her identity") to kick off the Lila arc is by far the coolest thing they could've done imo, because I was not at all excited for the Lila arc before but now I'm totally invested. Now Lila isn't the Evil Liar to be taken down by Good Marinette. Marinette is the liar to be taken down by the very liar that she took down. It's not a story of "defeat that freakishly evil girl" anymore, but instead a story of "Marinette's own actions and decisions coming back to bite her". And the lie itself (WHICH LILA KNOWS IS A LIE!!) only exists because, and is most impactful towards, her relationship with Adrien, which is the core of the series!! I CARE about their relationship, and that's the stakes!!!

I just cannot get over how cool that is, and how much I didn't expect it. I know we all were expecting a big fight with Ladybug and Chat Noir just defeating Gabriel and then watching Chat Noir cry or whatever in the few remaining minutes of screen-time and then it's all over and done with, but that's a series finale. This was a season finale. And they did something really unique and unexpected with it, while making sure it's a juicy season-finale conflict that leaves me actually excited about season 6

also, a side note— I think the framing of the finale made this confusing so I totally get why discussions about it are kind of all over the place, but... 90% of the post-wish stuff we saw had nothing to do with Gabriel at all. It was all Mayor Bustier, who was already running for mayor and wanted to enact green laws and projected to win (she was up against D'Argencourt, the character whose schtick is that nobody ever votes for him in elections). I don't think Gabriel's wish included "Please, Gimmi, I want my son's school teacher to win the mayoral election this year" lol. So a lot of talk of "why is Gabriel's World presented in such a positive light?" is kind of weird to me. That's not Gabriel's World. That's Caline Bustier's. All we know so far about Gabriel's World is that Nathalie is in it and he is not. And frankly, the fact everyone is so happy and cheerful and living it up after his death is more a roast than anything

( also, just a reminder that the presentation of Gabriel's statue— the only scene discussing Gabriel in a positive light by someone In The Know— was done by Tomoe Tsurugi, a series antagonist, vowing to continue his work, with a song in minor key playing in the background. i feel like the question of "was this meant to be unsettling or triumphant?" is pretty obvious. just wanted to remind everyone. also by definition characters cannot celebrate gabriel as a "hero" without in the same breath celebrating monarch's, aka gabriel's, death. yknow? )

#ml s5 spoilers #re-creation spoilers #ml re-creation #recreation spoilers #ml recreation #as w all my posts this really isnt meant to be an invitation for you to tell me what you didnt like about it #i do GET IT because i think this finale was very risky and intentionally controversial so im not surprised/dont blame you if you hate it bu #i've heard a lot of arguments against it and tbh none have been able to change the fact that I actually like it a lot so #idk would probably be more productive to make your own post about it haha #also side note: WOOOOOOO THE MYSTERIOUS WOMAN CONFIRMED TO BE AMELIE WOOOO #me hearing that it was confirmed like ''why am I gasping? i already knew that''

fell asleep while my friend was live-blogging the hlvrai finale and woke up to this.

#leo yells #I woke up bleary & miserable w my headphones and glasses still on & this was like tge first thing I saw . holy shit. #we’re gonna fucking have to recreate the Chuck E. Cheese argument #IT IS. A RESTAURANT. FOR THE RECORD. ☝️ #I’m going back to sleep . #hlvrai #rtvs #Edit/addendum: I just woke up again. This is still fucking. Killing me

Everyone's getting so heated over evolution right now that I kinda want to say I believe in some secret, third thing for kicks and giggles. Get real gnostic on 'em.

Oh? You believe in evolution? And you believe in creationism? Well *I*, the most learned of individuals, believe that we are actually yet still in our larval stage as a species and will only be able to enter the kingdom of heaven when we grow the exoskeletons which will make it so our flesh can handle the gaze of God, like a REAL Christian

#sorry sorry but both sides of this have been SO funny to me as someone whose take on it generally is 'eh it's probably evolution but if God #said it isn't someday i won't hardly be mad about it' #it's so funny to me because people are basically recreating the same arguments that took place in sixth grade science class #except you're using bigger words and i'm very proud of the language development boys and girls! #well done superstars! #now how about we focus on sharing and talking respectfully about our neighbors next hmm?

TARNMA HOT TAKE: Tarn is the sophisticated one that listens to classical music and wants to do ballroom dancing, Pharma does NOT share these tastes and instead is the kind of dude who will dance to whatever generic pop music is popular on the radio this year and would do the Cha Cha Slide/Cupid Shuffle/(insert popular song everyone knows the dance routine to in your culture) and sing shittily with his favorite songs while drunk

#squiggposting #tarnma #tarma #like i can't stress to you enough that TARN is the only one who acts sophisticated and even that is kind of a pretense #pharma isn't high class he isn't posh he's just a normal dude #he knows how to dance to the top 100 radio songs and he just dances however he wants he doesn't know STEPS or anything like that #he's a guy just vibing and being unapologetically mundane #eventually he gets tarn to admit that liking top pop hits doesn't make you a philistine but they get into arguments about it #tarn sleeps on the couch a lot #normal tarnma things #down with posh pharma rise up silly whimsical pharma #he's the dude that would recreate famous dance scenes in movies and musicals because that's just all he knows

Hell yeah fuckers it's still Valentine's in my time zone so take some KNPS Whenuju for the soul

Summary: After the Visorak were dealt with, Nuju and Whenua had no need to keep living together. And that's fine. Neither of them have strong feelings about that whatsoever. Surely the fact that they're both miserable is unrelated.

#writing #fanfiction #bionicle #whenuju #arguments as recreation/love language is so fucking funny. why are they like this

whatever man i don't even care about supernatural

how will we ever get the spark to wonder, question, and think deeply about art when someone says a prompt or two into a generator, and out comes a painting that doesnt mean anything, because nobody took the time to tell a story within it? how can anybody do that if the art has no meaning like with ai art? when it isnt meticulously crafted by the complex mind of a creative human?

you cant tell an ai to convey the hurt and betrayal of a mortal against their own hubris as they fall off of the high horse they pitched themselves upon the way that a human would, because ai isnt human. it will never be human. and to compare ai art to human art and call them equals is dehumanization, and it strips art of every power it has ever had across the whole of human history.

#tdahbposting #why should be care about ai art when nobody cared to actually make the art in the first place #i got in a heated argument with my dad about ai art and it really hurt me as an artist #so here is basically what my thoughts where. i wrote a lot to my gf but these points summarized it #if you couldnt tell i hate ai art #also the piece i was referencing was the fall of icarus #ai art #fuck ai art #anti ai art #ai art debate #ai art is not art #i had a lot more rambling about if ai art tried to make a bunch of historical pieces of art and writing based off of what i argued about #earlier with my dad- mainly the bible and many pieces of art that are from that side of the religion sphere #because we have a 3d textural piece of the last supper passed down in our family from germany and he was. rambling earlier #but ai art could never recreate the human experience of wonder and love and dedication in and through art #you cannot begin to compare the inhuman art of ai to human artwork and beginning to do so is unbelievably awful to do #every stroke of story put into human art is something that only humans can continue to recreate- not ai or any other robot #the only way that the robot that scoops its own oil back in endlessly has that effect is because a human made it #the only way that robotic art effects us is because a human made it. a human made that robot do that. a human programed that robot #the robot didnt program and make itself the way that humans do #and when a human makes ai and that ai makes art #its only an imitation of humans #that ai cannot think cognitively or critically enough- or at all- to create its own Actual artwork #saying that it can and that it is equal in value to real human artwork is the most out of touch take #and if you have that take? you should be ashamed

time/energy still low but take a self-indulgent crossover AU of two of my favorite games

#fan art #mine #asbel lhant #richard windor #ace attorney au #havent had time yet to totally think through an AU but you could easily recreate turnabout goodbyes w richass #asbel wants to figure out why his childhood friend has changed so drastically #richard thinks he murdered his own father bc he blacked out when lambda took hold of him #then a mid-trial almost danganronpa-esque reveal that yeah Richard's possessed but lambda didnt do it either #cedric did and would have killed richard too if lambda hadnt literally brought him back to life #not an au I'd probably ever write or do much w but fun to think about #also im not sure if asbel would be a very good attorney he's not very good at logic or noticing things #but he'd believe in his clients so fucking much. if the court of law accepted the power of friendship he'd win every argument

Do you ever think about how we don't see any of the regular crew in Living Witness? How we don't actually know what happened with Voyager, the Vaskans, and the Kyrians?

#I feel like people make this argument about course: oblivion but we see the real crew at the end of the episode #the emh is a copy and his recreation of events is also just holograms #the doctor wasn't present for everything he recreates so we also can't fully trust his version #another one of those liminal episodes #living witness #star trek voyager

#ml s5 #ml s5 finale #i'm frustrated over a lotta talk/posts recently #there was that one like. analysis post recently that got me WORKED UP BRO #bc people were essentially saying that if you didn't like the s5 finale you were a) a salter b) media illiterate #they're allowed to think that #they're also allowed to be wrong bc here's the dealio #“salt” implies that the upset and frustration and dislike of the ep is *unjustified* #it is not unjustified to dislike something that went against its own themes in the end and had such muddled messaging #that even adults have a hard time understanding what's going on #let alone the TARGET audience—kids #and then on the “media illiteracy” end of the argument #well i have things to say but idk if ihave the space to here #tl;dr i'm not media illiterate for not trusting the writers who have proven to me time and time again that they won't follow through #on established themes/plotlines/character development #or a combo of all three #i don't trust the writers to “fix” the issues with s5/recreation and that's it. #you can trust them but i'm not “media illiterate” for not giving them another chance to redeem themselves at this point

"Don't be so stubborn. You know I'm right." ( from henry lmao / @ladyseidr )

“ I KNOW THAT YOU’RE AN IDIOT, EMILY, ” comes the irate reply, one pale hand waving dismissively. In the other, a sheet of paper is clenched, bullet points all scored out, each more aggressively and viciously than the last. “ And I know that you’re not the one who studied colour theory for this very purpose. Red is perfect — the streaks on the floor will help families find their way from party rooms to others. ”

With this, he opens the crumpled sheet theatrically, and this time it reveals, just below the bullet points, a floor plan of the diner: complete with trails of crimson red splattered on the floor leading from room to room.

“ I just think you’re being paranoid about all this. It doesn’t even look like blood. Children aren’t going to see this and assume some kind of crime scene — red, ” he adds snootily, “ has feelings of adventure, playfulness and excitement associated with it worldwide. I read a book about it. ”

#(( breaking: worst person you know recreates the color theory argument …. henry had to put up with so much LMAO )) #(ii) man behind the slaughter — roleplay thread. #(oii) original universe: elysium era #a; ladyseidr #(xox) last man standing: willry. #tw blood #(mentioned!)

Ed: -drinks something she shouldn't have from the lab because she thought it was coffee-

Lucy: "I established two rules! What were they?"

Ed: "Fuck you!"

Lucy: "What were they??"

Ed: "I don't know, "don't do my fucking job"??"

Lucy: "All substances that are used within the lab must stay in the lab AND I cannot have to phone the urgent care more than once a week!"

Ed, (Seinfeld voice):

"What was this week???"

Lucy:

"I thought you were screaming in agony!!"

Ed:

"My Chemical Romance is not a valid reason to call an ambulance! That one doesn't count."

#where the stars fell #im dying i forgot this part lmao #the 'what was this week??' voice is also pretty much how i always read the spongebob upper/lowercase letters thing hahaha #mcr #oh shit i forgot that this was *the argument* #one of my biggest most satisfying gasps when listening to/watching anything ever #also this texual recreation does this exchange absolutely no justice and im sorry.

prepping the two diverging routes depending on what my partner wants to play off w their muse in the mc role (them being a reincarnation of the og alice versus just being an outsider not literally connected to the og alice) is super fun bc in route one you get to mess around with the concept of fate and soulmates and reuniting with ppl you lost throughout history versus route two having this whole dynamic where darcy gets revealed not only as the biggest bad in wonderland but ALSO as the original alice liddell and messing w the concept of like how much of something you loved and created with your own hands would you be willing to destroy and tear apart to protect someone you love

#i'll prob add in those diverging mc routes to my story page so it's easier to follow along but i think #tweaking it so darcy tm is actually the original alice liddell in the route where the mc isn't a reincarnation is hella fun #cuz he spends all this time in the role of the big endgame villain in the overall storyline #ready to just headass destroy wonderland #and it adds Flavor bc then u get the whole moral argument over how he (as alice) literally recreated and saved wonderland when they #came to it originally and now he's just standing there ready to fucking Glock everyone #i get rambly but like !!! #idk how many ppl saw that original post of my musing finding a more interesting way to incorporate the non-reincarnated route #but it's coming along #it kinda ends up creating a wild secret tru route cuz interacting with darcy on that path also ends up being the og alice's route #i don't make sense when i ramble this is why i have to make carrds aaaaaa jBNNEJHRGBNN #ʚ o. out of character ɞ ⁄ otome games are my thirteenth reason. #the original concept w reincarnation is the one i've developed the most cuz it's the like... theoretical blog canon but i'm having a Blast #finding out alternatives JHBENRG #esp since in either concept the mc / muse is led to believe they ARE alice for the longest time so in that one darcy is just like #and i oop :x

this is what true love looks like btw

ignore the window on the bottom. I didn’t notice it was in frame until it was too late 😭 

#the silence makes it even better #normally i'd just re-record when shit like this happens but them fortnite dancing on the lighthouse was spontaneous #like they just did that without any player input #so it wouldn't have been as funny if I had to manually recreate it instead of preserving this beautiful moment in its organic state #I love this game its my funny little self ship simulator #except they just got in an argument and i'm fighting like hell to mend their relationship vsjkskd
