it's kinda crazy that the first vocaloids were black

#my ppl are pioneers #not that any early 2000s fan interpretation of the characters would even hint at this but they were #kae.txt

My other fun dunmeshi statistics shipping fact is that for a while before the anime aired / in the earlier weeks the third most popular ship was actually chilchuck x reader just because there was this one author who singlehandedly wrote like 10 fics because they were horny for that old man

#theyre all from like 2018 too . they were a true pioneer

hi i found this comment thread from 2008 and how are you all doing today

i asked for confirmation about a post that claimed that people would put flowers on hamilton's grave because he was hot, way before the musical. here it is i guess.

#this had me wheezing. especially the “yeoow oww” part #these people were the pioneers #the pilgrims of the hamilton fandom. #hamilton #alexander hamilton #historical hamilton

Let F be a Floer homology theory. For the purposes of this talk, you can assume it's any Floer homology theory you like, and if you don't like any Floer homology theory, then pretend you do like one and assume it's that one

-- a conference speaker

#floer homology #math #maths #mathblr #you really should have at least one Floer homology theory you like!! #i have for a while wanted to do a longpost about floer homology #a very cool concept that shouldn't yield anything but miraculously does #and also about the guy who came up with it (andreas floer) #who was a very interesting guy #he died in 1991 at age 34 which is usually when an academic is only starting to build their influence #and thus didn't have any phd students #and most people in the math community don't seem to have known him personally #(his wikipedia page has a section of quotes about him but they're all about his math #which is pretty much universally agreed to be one of the most striking developments of modern mathematics) #but one time they did a memorial conference a couple years ago in his honour at (uc) berkeley #where they talked about the extremely fruitful field of research he pioneered #they put up posters around campus advertising the conference that happened to have a picture of him #and apparently a bunch of old guys showed up who knew nothing about math #it turned out they were his housemates in the gay commune he used to live in #who were going for a walk around campus and saw a poster with his photo and were like #'wait isn't that our buddy who died twenty-some years ago??' #apparently they knew nothing about math so it was totally incomprehensible to them but they attended the whole conference anyway

It feels like every day I read attempts to debunk the social model of disability that fundamentally misunderstand what the social model of disability is and who the people who developed that model were, including what the nature of their disabilities was, and I want to scream.

But I don't, because yelling at people on the internet is basically pointless. Instead I check to see that I'm not mutuals with whoever reblogged said misunderstanding and vague about it.

#'but [x impairment] would still exist and have [y implications] even if the world were completely accessible!' #okay well yeah but equating impairment and disability is explicitly the opposite of the social model of disability #the union of the *physically impaired* against segregation who developed this model #*were* by and large privileged in ways many other disabled people are not‚ yes #mike oliver who wrote the fucking book on the social model of disability #(social work with disabled people‚ published in 1983) #was a white man with a phd who pioneered an academic field‚ for one #and there *are* criticisms about the limitations to a purely social model of disability to be made #but like... our pal mike oliver was also a wheelchair user who broke his neck in a swimming accident as a teenager #which caused paralysis that affected his upper and lower body #not a clueless 'physically abled' autistic who didn't understand how physical limitations work #he lived the first 17 years of his life as a physically abled person #so I think he was aware of the difference between what his body could do before and after his accident #and like 'disability is socially constructed' #is not saying that differences between people and what they are able to do or do easily do not exist?? #my eyesight is so bad that if I could not access corrective lenses I would be functionally blind #and even with glasses my myopia and astigmatism cause a lot of tangible effects on my body #e.g. migraines‚ eyestrain‚ so many floaters that even looking through pristine glasses is like the lenses are scratched to hell #but my eyesight is not considered a disability #because the accommodations that enable me to participate in society fully in this area are so standard as to be invisible #can I magically see without corrective lenses? no #does wearing glasses not being considered a disability mean that I do not get migraines and eyestrain? no #so the arguments the thing I am vaguing are trying to debunk are not what is being argued! #well seems like I screamed about it after all #oh well

I have a question about Mami’s design from PMMM

Is it just me or does her magical girl outfit have a lot of vibes of fur traders from the 1800s? (or really anyone from around that time.) Plus we already have know that her weapon is a musket, which is something that was commonly used in that era. (I think.)

Idk if that’s symbolic or is it just for aesthetics, if anyone have any theories or such please spill ur beans.

#puella magi madoka magica #madoka magica #analysts #question #mami tomoe #also I’m no historian so if I got the time wrong please tell #if it is symbolic I’m assuming it has something to do with the fact that she was the first magical girl we see #and people back then were pioneers n shit #if that makes sense

fun fact growing up mormon & in california meant I thought the Donner Party was mormon for a good long while. I had a misunderstanding and thought the donner party were mormon pioneers who got lost and succumbed to one of the greatest sins on earth to try to survive, which always left me with this profound twist in my gut that you could be amazing Mormons, and something like this could still happen to you just because you got lost.

I think I was about 10 when I started questioning the association?

#personal #exmormon #exmo #ex lds #donner party #note: they ARE pioneers but they were like. gold rush type pioneers not mormon

i love day ciel's palette but iv never drawn 2p night ciel.... anyway lesbianism

#ciel #riechan #pop'n music #fanart #i think this was my first ever like lesbian ship in specific and my first homebrew ship. remember those. when you were into things #so small that you could be the pioneer of a ship. crazy #of course it never caught on cause the english popn music community at the time consisted of 12 people and art reposters but still. i loved

if you see a post that contains some historical writing or art by or related to trans women and your first instinct is to comment or share it and make it about gerard way, maybe consider not doing that

#by historical I mean anything in the past to clarify #like babe. this drawing from the 90s of a trans woman with nice legsis just that. sometimes you have to be normal and not make every gender #thing you see about your fave. esp one that you like to pretend is some pioneer when it comes to being gnc in the music industry (he isn't) #I do say this as a long term mcr and gerard fan! you just need to like ... remember that trans women are real and not your fun idea to+ #project on people. and that gerard way is a real person that you don't have the right to project identities on as if they were fact either!

okay i’m also mad that nope wasn’t nominated for like anything at the oscars as evidenced by by post about being mad that was being reblogged here but let’s not come for the one nominee that literally invented a whole new camera and new filming techniques to capture actors at supersonic flight at imax quality from the inside of a cockpit. you don’t have to like it to respect the amount of effort and ingenuity that went into the production.

#do you know what the two genres are that the academy is NOTORIOUSLY terrible at rewarding?? horror and ACTION #at MOST they’ll give both below the line awards #the closest to action the academy gets before getting scared is lord of the rings #of the movies that came out last year i’m pretty sure the only ones that actually pioneered filming techniques were top gun nope and avatar #and yeah actually i love nope but maverick had better editing do you know how DIFFICULT it is to make a chaotic action sequence legible #geographically let alone easy to follow? #nope should at MINIMUM received sound and FX noms but that’s not maverick’s fault #so go yell at triangle of sadness or something ruben östlund is a hack and we should focus on that

I think a lot of the people that are randomly insulting Kiss on this website right now are seriously lacking the cultural context of the band was formed in '73 and was literally groundbreaking for its era.

Like- we're talking less then 20 years since the guitar pedal was invented.

I'm not much of a fan, but they were making tropes that we take for granted. They were contemporaries with Earth, Wind and Fire. They were EDGY for the era.

#I find them pretty mid #but i also have modern rock sensibilities #im used to this #like most of the reason is that so many classic rock bands were as influential as they were literally THE PIONEERS OF A NEW GENRE #Paranoid by Black Sabbath dropped in 1970 for reference. Ya know- whats widely considered one of *THE FIRST* metal albums?

Next:

SO- I’ve always been fascinated by ‘apocalypse logs’ and environmental storytelling, particularly in survival or post-apoc games where you find letters and messages from those who came before you, and get to know them/see a glimpse of their world and life through what they’ve left behind.

I’ve been mulling over the idea of experimenting and doing something similar w/ Hector for a while, and I finally finished up this first set! I’d like to continue uploading panel by panel (because I’m impatient to post/want to take it slow, but also b/c I think it’ll add to the effect if it unravels over time? maybe?) and then compile them in a long strip at the end.

Not sure when the next ‘update’ will be, this is v casual, but stay tuned. 👀

#things seem to be off to a good start #:) #Idt I’ll do pics of journals for all of them b/c I think that’d get old #but I have ideas for other maps/letters/papers #and maybe journal excerpts or captions to accompany other images? #idk how many of these I'll do but I have a middle and end in mind and a few things that I think would be interesting to explore #eue #Hector starting his log w/ ‘my name is hector’ 🤝‍ me starting my childhood diaries with ‘my name is _________’ #been a while since I made it but #the supply list in this one is loosely referenced from what pioneers would bring w/ them on the Oregon trail #and how much a rhino could feasibly carry based on their body weight if they were similar to horses #should I include a day counter I'm. kinda lazy tbh LMAO #no one @ me that he's using the imperial system either as;jfla;df #Hector #tts hector #tangled the series #my art #my post

I've been buying stuff to attend an extremely straight and Christian wedding and it's like. I had a black suit ready and got the ok but the groom accidentally ordered the wrong color suit (how do you accidentally order the wrong suit. Or not exchange it. I thought the bride had a color theme going on but now there's no theme ? Who knows.) so I had to get another outfit, and it's hard to find a suit in that color that fits me offline and I don't have enough time to do the back and forth from an online suit shop.

So I finally find a cheap enough jumpsuit that matches their theme or whatever and think whew. I'm all ready. but it doesn't end there!!! I gotta accessorize bc the outfit is plain. And I have to think of what to wear underneath to stay warm bc it's December in the Midwest, but something low enough that it won't show underneath. Sensible shoes, also bc it's December in the Midwest. Outfit doesn't have pockets???? Now I gotta figure out how I'm gonna hold all my stuff so I have to find a small bag. Istg women's fashion is just solutions to problems that they created 😭 and it just ends up being so expensive that I'm just like lol.

#this is also the wedding where the groom wrote the speech and it's the supreme court case for interracial marriage and im like. #first off. you guys are white and asian. second of all. it was never illegal to have an interracial marriage in MN. and lastly. #you guys are not the pioneer of social justice rights you think you are for getting married 😭😭😭😭 no thank you for your service #I'm so ready to like. check out of this wedding #i gotta dress nicely bc im translating for half of the audience and the bride just gave me the script and told me she google translated it. #WHY. literally why. im sobbing. #there's so many bilingual people in ur life that can do the translation for you but we have google translate......... 🔪 #I'm not really ready to listen to this with my own ears during the ceremony and pretend that everything is okay #and translate it for the other half of the audience who for a moment were blissfully unaware of the cringe #I'm simply not ready for this

I am not joking when I say I genuinely think My Immortal has more artistic merit than any of the actual Harry Potter books.

#I mean if you subscribe to the most likely explanation that it's a trollfic #and that every single part of it was deliberately crafted that way on purpose #then it's legitimately a work of genius #the way it parodies an entire fan subculture at the time but always feels funny and not mean. #the way it literally pioneered an entire subgentre of similar fanfics and fanworks #it's truly irreplaceable. there's nothing else quite like it. nothing had quite done what it did to that level of success before #and it's impossible to recreate the same impact #you simply can't say the same for Harry Potter. there were other hugely successful works in the same genre both before and since

i will never understand how the hell people decide what genres music is anyway. how the fuck is dcfc midwest emo when they're from washington?

#ik midwest emo can be performed theoretically anywhere but in the timeframe they made music it's a misnomer imo #because like. they weren't specifically taking inspiration from midwest emo and emulating it #you could argue that they were pioneering it but then it stops being midwest and just becomes emo. why not just call it emo.
