Bugs + Prostitution : the New "Left-Wing"(Looooool !) Tumblr Choices

Message of a few days ago (without answer yet) to Tumblr : Hello, it's again about the new posts' editor.

I have started back posting new images on my main Tumblr (and don't tell me to contact you from there, the account is linked to a mailbox which has a technical problem) after 2 months of reblogs because I didn't want to use this new editor (see our previous exchanges).

The new problem is that I want to post with titles in medium size and the rest small size. It's extremely hard, sometimes it functions sometimes not.

I spend 20 minutes making one post, easily double the normal time.

Please don't tell me that I don't do things well. Many people told you this new editor is problematic, even passing the arrow on something to highlight an item, or to copy-paste one, is not normal and you know it.

I'd like a solution for this size problem at least, and the easiest one is that we have the right to USE THE OLD EDITOR which was flawless. ---

Addendum of today 05/09/23 : and there is even more : EVERYTHING BUGS and it's unbelievable to launch a new toy - to replace a PERFECTLY FUNCTIONING ONE - without having made it functional. There is this, and there are the bitches on top of our dashboards, selling their fucking charms.

i know you need money. I know you wanna reverse - without telling that Basile Pesso had warned you ten times in public about the exact reason of this D'onofrio choice - the catastrophic Muslim-oriented policy on nudes implemented by D'onofrio almost five years ago, that almost made your - and therefore, our - ship sink like a Titanic of the web. You just chose prostitution. And artists will go away. BP.

Everything's Gonna Be Ok.

To briefly keep on after my 4 texts of two days ago that have made run away half of you : I don't wait anything from any of you. I have been trying for ten years to wake you up and THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. Along the years several persons have had the bravery to like some of my texts and fact reports. Globally they haven't been cancelled by the neo-fascists. But who knows ? Have they missed professional opportunities ? France is literally dying. It's now been ten years that many people fear the civil war. Or sometimes hope it, "to end this shit". In June during the riots we have been very close to plunging into civil war. All this has been described by several authors included me in an unfinished novel (Lise) that I had published on Fb slightly before the disappearance of my wife and collaborator. I was particularly proud of this novel, the first one I was about to finish after about 5 unfinished novels. But Anne's disappearance literally cut my wings, on all planes, and obviously the novels' one - except one which hopefully will be published soon -.

Guerre Civile Raciale by Guillaume Faye and the Guerilla series by Laurent Obertone are the two novels/saga that describe what could happen. OBVIOUSLY they have been described by neo-collaboration as "far-right". But the facts are here. Barbarian, each day. Boroughs ravaged by drug deal, gun violence, often kalachnikov one, street rapes, street assaults, murders, burglaries, assassinations, diverse stealings and vandalisms, kidnappings, forced prostitution often upon minors.

Migrants high in this lovely prize list but the invasion HAS to go on and if we protest we're "racists". It's not only France but as said two days ago this is the eye of the cyclone. Don't worry. We're here for art. I know. Basile Pesso - YWAMag director Placebo, I know

P.S : and OBVIOUSLY, the only reactions I get are unfollowings. I told you, it's been ten years that I have been knowing you.

something that kind of bothers me about modern feelings toward the epic of gilgamesh is how it's been COMPLETELY watered down to being "gay". Bear with me as I explain.

this is more of an extreme example, but I see this take all the time (not the yaoi part. the gay lover part). it's boiled down to the fact that it's gay over literally anything else in the epic. Gilgamesh's lament to Urshanabi about Enkidu's loss is overshadowed by the fact that Gilgamesh is mourning his gay lover. Gilgamesh is on a journey because he lost his gay lover. Gilgamesh and Enkidu were gay.

Now I understand that with a modern lens, people tend to lock on to how unabashedly Gilgamesh mourns Enkidu, because it's gay and because it's the oldest written epic in human history. People feel deeply connected to the idea that people like them have been around since the dawn of literature. But placing exclusive focus on the nature of the relationship as gay, rather than why the relationship or its loss was important, erases the story the epic is trying to tell.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is a story about love, yes, but it is not a love story. It's about the fear of death, coping with loss, and desperation to stave off the inevitable. It's about the bonds of friendship, about hardship, coming to terms personal change and losing pieces of yourself as you learn and grow. It is about consequences, arrogance, death, second chances, mourning, yearning, loving and LIVING. The Epic of Gilgamesh is about the entire human experience and one man's struggle to accept it. What does it mean to have lived? What does it mean to have loved, and lost? What does it mean to die, and to be remembered? What does it mean to be human?

It is perfectly okay to find appreciation for the Epic because of Gilgamesh and Enkidu's relationship. But also understand that the world's oldest story is not about two gay men who loved each other. It is a story about being alive.

TLDR;

#the epic of gilgamesh #mesopotamia #sumerian #once again recommending that everyone read the epic of gilgamesh at least once because it really is a great story #gilgamesh and enkidu's relationship is first of all--a minor detail at best. homosexuality was normal in sumerian society #so it wouldn't have been unusual. in fact placing such intense focus on it is what's unusual #also they weren't even homosexual. they both also sleep with women. but the erasure of bisexuality is a completely different hornet's nest #i could also probably write a post about how watered down the whole ea-nasir thing is too #but hes so much of a meme i might as well try to convince a brick wall to get up and walk for all the good it'd do #anyway. im pretentious about this topic because i love it so fucking dearly. please recognize what it is youre appreciating

I think there's this idea of privilege that people have where if you are privileged, you become a bad person, and the more privilege you possess, the worse of a person you are, like privlege is a nuclear bomb warehouse that you can add stock into.

This is an incomplete outlook on privilege because it places blame on individuals with privilege rather than the systems which give certain people privilege, while at the same time ignoring others to their detriment.

A cis person isn't bad because they have the privilege of not being trans. The system in place which prioritize cis voices, opinions, bodies, and, ultimately, cis lives over trans ones is bad. These are important distinctions because something like trans liberation will not be a reality if we don't dismantle the system which places trans people as lesser.

#privilege #trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #this applies to much more than just trans vs cis #and perhaps my outlook is coming from a privileged point of view. but i can't help but wonder if the way *some* people approach this... #...topic would even be conducive #this post isn't directed at a person or group by the way and i'm not wanting to start heated arguments #this is just Some Guy's opinion about the ways in which i have seen these discussions happen #i don't think anybody is a Bad Person simply for how they express being an individual who isn't thought about in society #it's HARD knowing your government and society doesn't care about you and i totally understand where these feelings come from. i just... #...i just think maybe there is a better way to approach this where everybody can be seen and listened to #just a quick post where i shoot a thought out at break-neck speed roght as i think of words

succession at home:

Unimportant but slightly funny thing i just found and had never seen mentioned before: The variable used for displaying what chapter you started your deltarune save in on the light world’s stats screen (oddly not the dark world’s...?) is called “krispreservationsociety” (society for the preservation of krises)

i actually somehow never noticed this was a thing that displayed at all this whole time i suppose i just never looked at this screen in chapter 2...

#also the thing i was looking to check that accidentally led me to find this #dr apparently actually keeps ut's easter egg for if you change the character name to be longer than it should #except here its just for if you managed to change kris's name at all which is unusual #because that's not a save data variable you have to actually change the language data to manage that #...and it still is only concerned if its longer than 7 characters. but the message it adds is different now #its just ''???'' instead of ''easy to change huh'' #so i wonder if actually its left in there just because if they were worried it would break something if taken out... #mypost #dt #back to the topic of kris preservation society i suppose its not in the dark world menus because there wasnt room for it #its main purpose seems to just be for bragging rights or maybe just as reminder though so it was a little odd to me #that its somewhere where you cant see it for most of the actual runtime of the game

Y’all need to look up the meaning of satire and trope cuz this is ridiculous 😭. The American Society of Magical Negroes is a satirical film about the magical negro trope often used in media. Satire means that it will be making fun of the trope and even criticizing it. These types of movies/books usually only have one Black character and it often requires said Black character to do heavy lifting for the white character(s). It’s literally what happened in Ghost with Whoopi Goldberg. As much as we might like the movie it’s true. I also have a post about Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa and that trope goes crazy in that book. The Black character most likely will be portrayed to be stereotypical or 50/50 wind up dying, teaching the white character some sort of lesson, and then being forgotten until it’s convenient or completely while the white MC gets some sort of power up and their arc is completed. I promise it’s not gonna hurt you to laugh at how stupid it is. I’m also pretty sure Key & Peele had a skit about this.

#the american society of magical negroes #we’re allowed to be funny and call society stupid y’all #I promise it will be ok #in fact it’s most likely gonna make white people mad 🤷🏾‍♀️ #I’m actually counting on it since they rarely react well to such topics being discussed #stereotypes #tropes #entertainment media #literary media #rhapsodic #laura thalassa #unique writes

And it goes on...see my last post about three deaths in the last days in the music world, at early or quite early ages. Alan Rankine, guitarist and keyboard player of The Associates, just died at the same age (64) as Chris Ledesma, music editor known for The Simpsons (again, see the last post).

I haven't yet spoken about the death at 55 years-old of Mimi Parker, remarkable second singer and drummer of the brilliant US band Low. Mimi died of a cancer two months ago. I haven't yet written either about Martin Duffy's death a few days ago after a fall in his house at 55 years-old. Martin, keyboard player of The Charlatans and Primal Scream. For Alan as for Ledesma and Marino from Anvil, no cause of death is given. For Duffy it's the same as anything can have caused the fall. See this French article as a complement for Alan's death. BP.

>>>

“We are so saddened to hear that Alan Rankine has died. 

Richard was a student of his back in 1995 - “I first met Alan in 1995 when I was a student at Stow College. He was my lecturer on the music business course. The college had its own small record label called Electric Honey Records and because of my connection with the band, I was able to hand in an early demo of ‘Dog on Wheels’.  As soon as Alan heard the demo, he made up his mind that this was the song and band that was to represent Electric Honey records that year. Normally, the label would release a two or three song single but Alan had the foresight (and slightly bigger budget than the year before) to ask us if we could record a whole album instead. We did, and the result was Tigermilk, which was recorded in five days at CaVa studios in Glasgow. I can’t emphasis enough the influence that had on Belle and Sebastian at the very beginning. He was so encouraging. Because of his knowledge and contacts, he managed to promote what we had done with Electric Honey records to the whole music industry and start a real buzz about the band. He also set up the first two gigs we ever did. Stones in Edinburgh was the first gig followed by a gig in Dunkirk. Both gigs were completely shambolic, as most of us in the band didn’t have a clue what we were doing at the time, but Alan remained patient and helped us along the way. If it wasn’t for Alan, our path would’ve been very different. We owe a lot to him.

Alan was a fantastic, generous, and talented person who will be sorely missed by everyone that knew him. He was an unbelievable musician and his musical legacy will live on forever. Thoughts and condolences go out to his family, from myself and all of Belle and Sebastian.”

Richard Colburn (Belle and Sebastian)

I don't have much time to lose with this shit, but after having been blocked by an ultra-left extremist with hateful disclaimer, blocked without any reason except the fantasies of this sick sick mind, I have to explain a few things. I have been considered "racist" and in particular "islamophobic" by these kinds of sick persons for about ten years. This has given intense boycott, huge loss of money and fame, included for my wife and collaborator Anne Pangolin Guéno (The Soft Pangolin). This shit has had severe consequences on her psyche, and resulted among other things in her disappearance exactly two years ago, her sequestration for eleven months by her parents, and other shits elsewhere related. There was not only boycott but extreme slander and harassment, on a very, very long duration, with barbarian death threats. YWAMag, as stated in its Fb and Tumblr abouts, is open to ANYONE except haters. This has never changed in 9 years and about 80 000 selections. This doesn't only include nationalities, skin color, religion, sexual orientation, but also the cold haters aka the boycotters. Because art is my life, and this petty hate is just garbage. When I think about art, I forget the sick minds of these petty individuals, and imagine that they are their art - and not heavy, pestilential farts. I have written and published on my main Tumblr the start of my unfinished essay Once, We Were - A History of Neo-Collaboration (extract here). I have based my view on the racial slaughters and mass rapes in several Western countries among which France as the eye of the cyclone upon personal experience and huge daily journalistic work, with articles of the mainstream press and analyses from these facts or general ones. There is nothing to CONTRADICT. This is not a debate. I'll keep on later, in particular with what the "leftists" - it's the name, but it's actually fake left - because I have always been extreme-left - have in mind in front of this massive report of FACTS.

re: elf servants

I think generally there are servants in royal/noble households simply for practical reasons and they generally fall into 2 categories: specialised servants (think, stewards and messengers and scribes, masters of horses or kennels, that kind of thing) and servants who help with the upkeep of the household (cleaning, repairs, cooking and also the apprentices and assistants of specialised servants)

specialised servants are probably quite prestigious roles and fields of industry in their own right, and they are considered full members of a household, and probably are closely linked to the person they serve - it's as much a political and social statement to be Finwe's chief scribe as it is an economic one

but the second category are more associated with the house than the family living in it - for example, Finwe's palace in Tirion would function both as a home and a diplomatic and administrative centre, it would be impossible for him to rule and keep up with chores himself. But Fingolfin's personal home would probably not have any full-time servants - when there more people than usual to feed or house then professionals might be hired, but for the most part I imagine the day to day is done by the family (made possible by the fact elves sleep and eat less than humans)

IRL domestic service (at least in the 18th century) often functioned as a kind of prep stage for adult life (for women in particular, but gender is probably not as big a factor for elves) and I could definitely see this in Valinor - domestic servants being 80% elves between 50-100 who haven't chosen an apprenticeship or similar in another field who are earning extra money to set up their own households, getting experience outside of the family, meeting others in their own ae cohort, learning independence etc. It's a job that comes with the offer of room and board + the wages a king/prince/lord can provide. Not glamorous, but not terrible.

The other 20% is made up of professional servants - experienced elves who are genuinely like the work and are contracted workers as much as a builder or gardener might be. Some of them might be independent and others part of businesses set up by other elves who are really into cooking/cleaning etc.

In Beleriand the situation (for the exiles at least) is probably very different, though I think there would be attempts to adapt the system - but there aren't as many households that need servants and there aren't as many young elves.

#i confess i very much enjoy making ocs who are bg characters and servants are perfect for this #made my own post because i could not fit this in the tags LMAO #also the amount of labour needed to run a pre industrial household is HUGE #but elves generally get around this by having a population that is 90% adult and having magic #and having the time for anyone to become vastly skilled in their field in a lifetime #so things like food and clothing production is almost always communal and in the hands of elves who are REALLY into that specific area #the magic being relevant here because elf magic preserves - elven clothes won't wear out elf food doesn't go off etc #(or at least not as easily as human food/clothes) #i prefer to write elf societies that only visually mirror human ones - to an outsider it looks like a hierarchy of lord and servants #but the dynamic is very different #but that is just my preference #silm meta #not really a meta i just need to be able to find this post on my blog lol #long post #this is one of my fave topics hence the rambling

when people say “tragic gay men” to refer to sskk it irks me bc i refuse to think of them as anything but happy They found each other over and over again and fight by each others side and find reflections of each other in everything they do… i think that’s the LEAST tragic thing in all of bsd

#also just the phrase Tragic Little Gay Men has done irreparable damage to this society #but thats… a different topic for a different day i suppose… #bungo stray dogs #bsd #sskk #shin soukoku #akuatsu #bungou stray dogs #will i ever stop talking about the same things with sskk? NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! #atsushi #akutagawa ryuunosuke #they really are the least tragic partnership in the entire series i think #fukufuku is number one in tragedy #in MY HUMBLE OPINION #and then below them is like…. uhm… maybe like… er #fyolai??? right right i think i’m getting somewhere #i have suddenly forgotten every pairing in bsd #life revolves around shin soukoku…

One of my pseudo predictions/ideas for khml is that it could involve a manhunt for Master’s Defender

Let’s say that Ephemera passes MD down through his family—four generations after him as Nomura mentions, til we get to present day missing link. He gives the specific instruction that it must be returned to Brain whenever he’s destined to arrive in Scala in the future (which might be mentioned in the Book of Prophecies). At the end of khux, Ephemera said he still considers MD belonging to Brain, so he wants to return it to its original owner.

But by the time missing link takes place, and Brain appears, what if the current wielder of MD (aka one of Ephemera’s descendants) refuses to return it, firmly believing that it’s their right to wield it rather than Brain.

This causes a stir within the family, as certain members would find this to be selfish, unreasonable, and going against Ephemera’s wishes. Along with just being dishonourable to Brain, assuming they respect him. Meanwhile, other members of the family end up agreeing with this wielder, believing that MD should stay in the family.

I can see this drama getting so out of hand that it spreads to Scala’s wider community, causing the wielder to go into hiding with MD, and leading to a widespread manhunt alongside other various conflicts. Maybe the game is about finding a missing link to the past in the form of MD, assuming that the titular “missing link” could be a physical item and not just a metaphorical or symbolic thing. As far as I know, MD and No Name are also the only keyblades to have chain-related abilities? Just as an added layer

Brain’s whole role in this is up in the air. I’m going to assume that he’d want to get MD back because of it being Ephemera’s wish (and he will get it back eventually, so it can be passed down to Eraqus), but I can see him getting exhausted by all the drama caused by it. Either way, he feels a sense of responsibility to try and fix everything that goes down

#khml #you’ve heard of sharing a keyblade: get ready for KEYBLADE THEFT!! #technical ownership of a keyblade has always been an interesting topic to me #I miss when keyblades had more sentience and could actually choose their wielder depending on the circumstances #I was talking about this with my gf and it’s actually insane how much potential ml has #there’s gotta be some wack stuff going on in this city in that family in the society #I just think this can be a really fun set up #my theories #my posts #(also still feels weird for me to use brain buuuut here it is)
