hmm how do I put this. all media is inherently problematic in some way because the world is what it is and has the history that it has and every societal norm, belief and value pertaining to the past eras of the film industry—and even music and art and writing—will forever reflect in the products and as unfortunate as it is to have the history we do, we fundamentally cannot change that. there is no such thing as unproblematic media and there probably never will be and that’s okay and it doesn’t make you a bad person for enjoying media that might have some problematic or outdated elements, bc again, pretty much everything that we as a society created is going to have some problems.
sometimes media is problematic on purpose, like the entirety of TKAM, but with the intent on addressing the real life problems it reflects within the narrative. same goes for horror films or gore films. like, shockingly you don’t condone murder by watching or enjoying slashers. the point of the entire horror genre is to be scary and disgusting; the point of slasher villains is to be evil and wrong. but at the same time, sometimes you have to take a step back and wonder why a specific person or concept in a horror movie is being depicted as scary and disgusting and wrong and evil, like amputees or mentally ill people and queer people, and see how that reflects the real world—which is basically what the entire point of media literacy and critical thinking and purity culture is.
media literacy and critical thinking and purity culture don’t mean you have to avoid engaging with or enjoying problematic media at all costs. it doesn’t mean completely removing problematic elements from preexisting media and erasing the topics it might address— in fact, both of those things actively dull your critical thinking skills in general—and it especially doesn’t mean you’re suddenly justified in engaging with genuinely morally abhorrent content like lolicon or bestiality (both of which are examples of things typically portrayed in media as gross and wrong, and rightfully so). as much as anyone wants to pretend otherwise, fiction and reality go hand in hand as reflections of one another; reflections of society over time, of a person’s own experiences, etc, and to say that they don’t or that one doesn’t affect the other is quite literally the opposite of media literacy. lastly, to say media literacy or critical thinking aren’t important skills to have or that media should just stop depicting problematic things like violence or death is very very painfully wrong, as again, fiction and reality go hand in hand, and understanding a fictionalized version of reality serves us to better understand our actual reality.
thank you and goodnight

It’s truly impressive when you need almost nine feet of measuring tape to reach around your circumference … if you have trouble reading the numbers, his waist appears to be a little over 104 inches — 8’8” around!

(from @witchhakuba it won't let me switch accs) we've seen saguru and tiny kaito. but what about kaito and tiny saguru? 👀
Ahhhh thank you for the ask and sorry I took so long to reply (I was sick 🤒)
Buttttt god, thank you for giving me the excuse to draw tiny Saguru 😘😘😘
Imo, if Saguru were to be drugged with APTX4689, it would be because he stumbled upon the Black Org at a heist and stepped in as they were about to harm Kaito. Kaito brought him home and they work together to find the antidote (and pandora). Now, instead of chasing after KID, Hakuba is put into a position where he has to cover up KID’s trail against other detectives (which he will have moral crisises about) and fend off the Black Org.
(Kaito becomes very protective of Tiny-guru because he felt guilty Hakuba’s drugged because of him).
Hakuba’s alias would be something like Arthur LeBlanc (Arthur Conan Doyle and Maurice LeBlanc - author of Arsene Lupin and Blanc means white, which Saguru took quite an offense to, but hey, Kaito’s the one forging documents here 🤷🏻♀️)
Unlike Conan, I don’t think Hakuba would let his parents know about his predicament. He doesn’t seem to be close with his parents and wouldn’t want to bother/endanger them. Each of his parents just thought he was staying with the other one. At most, he tells Bayaa.
Arthur enrolled into the same primary school as Conan, and immediately arose suspicion when the Detective Boys arrived at a murder scene only to be informed that the crime has already been solved by another first grader. Ai Haibara, especially, did not trust him and avoid Arthur at all costs. Conan further suspect him when Arthur shows up at every heist.
Ahhhhh please feed me more ideas! This was fun. I’d likely draw more atpx!Hakuba in the future!
Click here for the mini comic I made for this AU 🫶🏻
#hakuba: yapping on and on about extra cautions measures Kaito could have taken to protect his identity#kaito: ‘damn it I can’t argue back at you. you look way more adorable and agreeable when I have to kneel down to match your eye level#also Kaito: cuddle tiny Hakuba because he iss for once smaller and softer#his hair is also somehow more curly?#lol thinking about Heiji and Kaito brings Conan and Arthur on a ‘playdate’ (or so they told Megure keibu)#kaito: revenge for that time you fireman-carry me for like 15 minutes in front of the Met Police#au#aptx4869!Au#dcmk#hakukai#hakuba saguru#kuroba kaito#detco#magic kaito#kaitou kid#白快#sagukai#detective conan#edogawa conan#arthur leblanc#brainstorm#aptx4869

the interesting thing about we are is that i believe it's the first bl i've ever seen that truly has one main character. there is a reason why phuwin is the most overworked of them all and why he jokingly complained about the fact that pond wasn't suffering nearly as much as he was, even though he is his on-screen partner. and there is a reason why phuwin said that peem is also the audience in a way because he kind of gets to witness and react to almost everything that happens in the series.
the world of we are is built around peem: it's him and his boyfriend and his best friend and his best friend's boyfriend and the rest of his friends and also his boyfriend's friends. even the things that are seemingly not connected to peem in a particularly direct way are still somehow influenced by him or perceived by him, e.g. tanfang happens because phum agrees to help tan hit on fang in return for meeting up with peem, and then when tan spills the beans about them dating, peem's reaction is centered slightly more than anyone else's, even though there are people who are closer to fang and similarly close to tan in that scene. and though we get insight into phum's life too, for instance, that still somehow circles back to peem, e.g. most phumfang scenes are them literally discussing peem or talking about their parents, which still comes back to phumpeem, as phum's family problems have a huge effect on the boys' relationship.
peem is the sun of the show, and the rest are planets revolving around him or moons of the planets revolving around him in one way or another.
#maybe slightly hypocritical of me to be like 'and i'm fine with that!' cause my favourite characters are the main character and his bf#i lucked out there#but structurally this is very interesting to me#and i think this is the reason why we are manages to center friendship better than almost any other series#because peem specifically is the main character as opposed to peem and phum for example#so there is none of that initial disbalance that obviously exists when two characters who are romantically involved are mains#they don't necessarily need to put extra effort into remembering about friendship and friend groups#because the series is focusing on what is important to peem#which is his friends and his boyfriend in equal measure obviously#we are the series#archer speaks

I really love how Soukokus only solution to waking up an unconscious Sigma is slamming him 10 hundred times on the ground. When he clearly has a stab wound.
Whatever happened to logical thinking.
#They could do ANYTHING ELSE#and they think that's the solution#Not just once or twice. no. 15 TIMES.#they really said “just for extra measure.”#You'd think they would notice that sigma was not going to wake up if they continued#If anything that's just going to give him a concussion#Like idk guys. maybe tend to the stab wound first and find safer ways to bring him back?#soukoku#chuuya nakahara#dazai osamu#bsd sigma#bungou stray dogs#bsd spoilers#bsd chapter 113#bsd.txt

"If you choose a job that you love, it won’t feel like work."
This is the scene where Seok Ryu realizes that a career path can be both fulfilling and professionally rewarding. Although Seung Hyo finds himself in long hours as an architect, he is genuinely passionate about his work. In fact in the previous episode, he said that even if he could swim again, he would still choose to be an architect.
Seung Hyo's dedication to his profession serves as a stark contrast to Seok Ryu's previous experiences. While in Greip, she was overworked and because of it probably hated her job.
As the drama progresses, I think Seokryu will begin to question her previous assumptions about work as a mere means to an end and starts to consider the possibility of finding a career that aligns to her passions and interests.
#so idealistic lol#i do have to disagree with the quote i put up there#i think any job no matter how passionate you feel towards it will feel like work (sometimes in the long run)#however i do believe liking the work you do#will help you keep a positive attitude in the midst of stressful situations.#*edit to add: Don't romanticize overworking#there may be times when a person needs to put in extra effort to meet deadlines or achieve specific goals#however overworking should not be seen as a badge of honor or a measure of success#love next door#kdrama#k:just thoughts

can't run out of breath when you don't have breath phonemes
#art#traditional art#watercolour#fanart#vocal synth#synthesizer v#synthv#frimomen#asterian#genbu#alternate title: waveform measuring contest#based off a time i was testing out different vocals in a song that had a phoneme dragged across like five long notes#and i had put it an octave down and was testing it out with My Boys (tm)#and like. frimomen sounded nice but a bit odd because i only have his lite and those have an extra limited range#and asterian sounded wonderful BUT with a tasteful little falsetto softening of the highnotes as all AI banks are wont to do#and then. i put in genbu. and it was just a wall. his waveforms were like twice the size#instead of the auto falsetto of the AI banks (because standard banks assume you'll do that yourself with parameter shenanigans)#genbu just got louder. he just kept getting louder. it was awesome#that is one benefit of concatenative particularly in SV. SV is good about letting you like#blank out any autopitch etc compared to AI vocal synths BUT their naturalistic range can sometimes#be a detriment if you want a bit of an. unrelenting vocal flair. and for that u must go to sample based <3

hey have we considered the possibility that the reason ivan specifically choked till was because he was mimicking what mizi did to luka in round 5
Yup, pretty sure that's where he got the idea. Ivan got to witness exactly what the consequences were in that kind of situation. He became aware of the near-immediate death sentence, a way to eliminate yourself before the scores are even tallied. Ivan was desperate, and this seemed like the only sure-fire method to ensure Till's survival since he was underperforming. It's most likely thanks to Mizi's outburst in ROUND 5 that Ivan was able to pull off this sacrifice.
#mizi: chokes luka#ivan: New Information Unlocked!#im pretty sure this season of alnst is the most chaotic since it spurred on a lot of debate and controversy amongst the alien population#so i dont think there has ever been an instance of choking/physical attack between competitors before#especially since they released an announcement that extra security measures would be implemented afterwards#its something they haven't dealt with before.#ivan probably suspected something like this would happen to “rogue” performers#but now that he has direct confirmation? now that he's seen exactly how the scene would play out?#how fast the gun is pointed at Mizi's head#well. it's time to take that idea out of the “hypothetical” folder and move it into “plans”#alnst#alien stage#alien stage ivan#alien stage mizi#alien stage round 6#asks
