Personal Artifact
Imagine cleaning out a relative’s house and finding something you thought had been thrown away or lost. Holding it brings a smile to your face and lights up your eyes. The artifact could be valuable, such as a cameo once owned by your grandmother, or it could be sentimental, such as an old teddy bear. Imagine also that another relative lays claim to the item.…

Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.
Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now
Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.
Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!
Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.
#its like youre unable to root for her in any form. which is annoying bc shes actually awesome actually#also having her say “actually im the good guy fuck you'' w/o any actual deep analysis of her psyche or whatever while doing these things#doesnt count as development or showing shes 3 dimensional. its just having 2 dimensional waller say shes right when everyone is obviously#supposed to believe shes wrong#anyways i want real waller back please i miss herrrrrrrr#anyways hope mr john ridley has read secret origins no 14. i know its from 1987 but please guys please. my only hope#also it was a few months ago but i think they tried to push certain elements of a diff backstory in dream team and sorry but fuck that. and#any mention of another waller background like my eyes are closed sry. im a preboot truther#actually im just ignorant of most squad comics outside the original series. im gonna do a readthrough and become knowledgeable on other#stuff i just need to find time. so if im wrong then sorry if its smth factual and if you disagree with my opinion then uh sorry for ur loss#anyways shoutout to the time i had a nerd night w my one friend and she was asking me abt dc and said my favorite villains and i said waller#and silver swan. and she had a “yuck WHY” to waller and a ???? to silver swan. love shouting out my faves and explaining them to the less#informed. didnt say a number 3 but would probably be parallax ig. idk hes kind of slay. or maybe someone else honestly i like hal but waller#and nessie are blorbo level for me i could think abt them for hours#or maybe it wouldnt be parallax actually idk who my 3 would be. hes definitely up there but way below the other 2. maybe the cheetah#interpretation that i personally have. v different from the popular cheetah interpretation esp rucka vers actually. much closer to the pérez#and esp develops some subtext there surrounding barbara and the exploitation and theft of sacred cultural artifacts and pieces but also#like british colonization a lil bit#but i actually despise the cheetah that lives in my head but think shed be interesting to use narratively and see diana fight#vs the other guys who i find interesting and sympathetic and like for themselves#whereas my fave interpretation of cheetah can rot in hell#i got off topic here#blah#swishy rant#also disclaimer that w the main character ik dreamer is the main character of dream team. im talking more in general and that amanda should#always have a huge role as shes the main character of the squad and yet is treated like its villain and not its protag#sui sq

pretty privilege in general is a terrible tool. but when the racism that it's ingrained in really has a platform to activate, it's just absurd .
#if ure a pretty white boy. oh my goodness. roll out the red frickin carpet to all the fame attention & feminization in the world#omg hes so pretty. pretty like a woman. hes just like a woman. lets treat him like an object#everything he does isnt really his fault. hes just a girl bcs hes pretty. bcs hes pretty lets make him cry#lets do a deepdive into his character & pounce or paint any opportunity possible to find a villain in his life that isnt himself#meanwhile a poc person is pretty & theyre get a compliment sure#but never like. a normal one#they can get treated like a goddess or a god yea#but like. one that imposes fear and distance. only to be admired from a distance#if ure pretty and poc then ure an artifact to steal#if ure pretty and white then ure a crisp blank page for ppl to doodle out all their fantasies and plans for u to fold right along into#bcs ure pretty just like a girl: usable.#shit is just stacks on stacks on stacks of stagnant thinking stacked onto sick ideals#idk man#maybe im just going crazy bcs i hate too much of anything. getting irritable & tired from feeling trapped#cant ever escape anything bcs the very existence of escape implies the threat of capture

More people need to know about the Zenozoik games (Textless version under cut)
#zeno clash#zenozoik#clash artifacts of chaos#golem zeno clash#kax-teh#this bitch went from a character i hated to a comfort character & i'm only slightly peeved#I also genuinely find the ending of the first game kinda funny when you boil it down to “nonbinary person gets publicly outed”

Reminder! Books containing powers (or ‘Lietners’ as those in UK call them) does NOT belong to the library!
If you have a book containing a power, go directly to us in artifact storage. Do NOT wait unless you want a possible horrible death.
#if you don’t know how to find artifact storage ask the person at the reception#you can also email us to make an appointment#oc rp#tma rp#usher foundation#sabrina speaks

In a slightly less insane, but equally cool update from the archives
This pocket surgery kit appears to have been used by a local doctor, seeing as I found an old crumpled list of Minnesota cities shoved into its side pocket.
#every time i find little bits of personality in items in the archives i get so emotional#love to be able to tell this artifact was actually used and a part of someone’s life#nate at the museum

since we're begging for stuff that won't happen
anet i'd really like more specialization-specific armor. i know every e-spec gets one armor piece, but that's like. not a lot? there oughta be more defined Looks, you know????
#i know this is what ff14 does with artifact gear#and yes#i want artifact gear#personally part of the issue is how the achievement menu is not user friendly and so how do you expect people to find/learn about cool skin

What If…? Dark: Moon Knight (Vol. 1/2023), #1.
Writer: Erica Schultz; Penciler and Inker: Edgar Salazar; Colorist: Arif Prianto; Letterer: Cory Petit
#Marvel#Marvel comics#What If…? Dark: Moon Knight#Moon Knight comics#latest release#Luminary#Marlene Alraune#what I find funny/clever (I guess) here is that where a lot of Marc’s moral ambiguity comes from his past as a mercenary#it seems that they do the same thing here with Marlene’s past in archaeology#they straight up truthfully call out that ‘hey you coming to global south nations and extracting artifacts actively perpetuates#a harmfully colonialist system’#and Marlene doesn’t even apologize#it’s indicated that she’s doing it largely to goad Bushmaster but idk I kind of like the complexity it brings#that yeah it might not be killing people for money but Marlene isn’t exactly a squeaky clean person either#but also of great importance here…she looks so good#her outfit LITERALLY slays and I cannot get over it nor stop repeating ‘love that for her’

Ganonbeck has true Jessica & Roger Rabbit energy. A sublime immortal + some stinky sailor he found.
One of the Links, signing: "Seriously, why do you see in that guy?"
Ganondorf: "He makes me laugh"
Ganonbeck is a funny little ship and it is entertaining to think about what (any, I guess) of the various Links would think of it.
(I have not seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit so I can't say a whole lot on the comparison but I think I get it? I read the wikipedia page for it)
#anon#asks#ganonbeck#everyone keeps comparing ganonbeck to all kinds of other ships but idk what id personally compare it to#MAN idk what to do with the asks that are less asks and more little comments like this lol ty tho this is cute#ive been leaning away from just seeing ganonbeck as just a silly little crackship and more something with genuine narrative potential#its still silly dont get me wrong but im cursed with the tendency to make linebeck a deeper character than is necessary#i think he bathes very frequently and that is a headcanon with more baggage than is needed#ganondorf#linebeck#dynamic between linebeck and ganondorf is interesting to think about and i think the idea that linebeck is half gerudo is a good... crutch?#it helps spark stuff stuff in addition to just being an interesting linebeck headcanon in general#linebeck works really well with another character when i write him in aus he's usually intrinsically tied with another character#but ganonebeck being 'king with the power to tear down a nearby kingdom and is tied to a great magical artifact and history itself'#plus 'some fucking guy who keeps falling into epic quests he is not equipped for' is good#man raised as royalty with great battle skills and an affinity for the organ and generally also being kinda philosophical#and then legend of zelda's male damsel in distress#i think i have a skewed view of ganonbeck bc ganondorf is the one everyone else finds hot whereas my tastes are the reverse

Ohhhhhh god, I've been playing BG3 largely asexually so far tbh - I could have had some romance scenes with...almost everyone at the tiefling party I think, depending what choices I took, but I went to bed by myself because I wasn't ready to pick. I've had a conversation option to ask Lae'zel 'Is it me or have you been looking at me differently' for awhile but I've just ignored it.
But today while going for a long rest before confronting the surgeon in the House of Healing (how creepy is that place btw, seriously??) I finally hit a romance proposition initiated by one of the companions and it's so awkward and I feel awful. I'm not totally against the idea - it's someone I've considered trying a romance with - but I just...don't know. I can't really decide on any of them and I'm not sure I want to. But now I have to lock myself in or out (or in, and then have to dump them later which won't be any better) and I don't really want to. They get so sad if I say 'nah'.
Honest to god I feel like my Tav would just say 'I'm sorry I have to go', pick up Scratch and flee into the woods, never to be seen again. I'm having vivid memories of running into the library to hide behind shelves after one of my classes at uni because I would often pass a guy on the way to my next class who was nice enough but I was afraid he was going to ask me out and I wasn't interested (in hindsight he almost certainly wasn't either but I was stupid and awkward and not used to being around boys/men so I was way out of my depth.)
Hate it hate it hate it. I'm gonna have to suck it up and make a decision if I want to finish, and to be clear I'm not saying this as a criticism of the game, it's just a 'me problem', but...well, it's a me problem.
#personal#gaming#bg3#ugh maybe I should have just told Karlach I was interested at the party and preempted anything else#I like most of the companions a lot but I don't really feel attracted to any of them romantically#I was kinda waiting to see what Halsin was like but he's not even able to join my party yet and so far he doesn't seem all that interesting#I've imprinted on Lae'zel a lot (excatholic things yoooo) but I still don't feel like I wanna romance her probably idk#Jaheira's gonna have kittens :<#'What do you MEAN the 'True Soul' ran away with the artifact and no one can find her??'

Sorry for posting 30 tags worth of fanfic of Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis in my most recent reblog's tags, I got carried away, you know how it is
#sorenhoots#i ran out of tags on it but i was almost done lol. i was just gonna say his husband makes birthday cakes for him using meticulously collectd#flowers and their nectar (gregors favorite now that he is a bug) and they grow old together and are buried together in a grave--#the final shell of an insects long life; laying on its back like a human; and his husband placed under folded insect legs in an embrace that#lasts far beyond death--#and they remain there undisturbed while the world ages and decays and perhaps they are still there after humanity is gone--#one of millions of graves where two dear partners are buried together; a curiosity for a future sentient species to find and ponder over--#especially the grave of the beetle and the man; adorned with artifacts that indicate they both had personalities and lives that were rich#not just a man buried with a prized companion like a dog; but like two equal beings who shared their lifes fully--sharing responsibilitied#and burdens and suffering and hobbies and joys and happiness#okay now im done! hsgffjfdirsky.

So I finished my first labyrinth and uh. Rauru, where the hell did you get OoT's Phantom Ganon's clothes. When you beat him in OoT he's "banished to the area between dimensions" or some dramatic shit. Regardless, *HOW* DID YOU FIND PHANTOM GANON'S ARMOR, RAURU.
#loz#totk#are these labyrinths just trials to find a suitable person to offload these Cursed Artifacts onto????

Had a convo with my colleague about how her child was given a reprimand at work for taking an entire day to code something that chatgpt 'did in minutes' and he couldn't answer that question. She was genuinely stumped herself as well because his 'boss was technically right that it takes him too long' and i had to tell her no, he's taking the right amount of time. He just knows what he's doing compared to the bot that does not.
Which brings me to the main point of this post. If a manager, an exec or some AI bro tries to make you feel incompetent because a ML algorithm can do something within a second you've got to remind them that it takes you longer because you know how it genuinely works. Chatgpt, stable diffusion, music ai keep making weird, glaring mistakes because it has no clue what it's doing. There is no intent made when writing, coding or photobashing a bunch of data pixels together. It can only produce what it has been fed and can't discern from that fed content why that data is formatted a certain way. Unless it becomes fully aware on it's own it will never understand it the intent, and it makes mistakes because of it.
#cd.txt#chatgpt#ai#told my colleague it would probably take that manager just as long to do quality control on chatgpt's horrible spaghetti code#than to just let a human write the code from the beginning#it's also why i still find it easier to discern genuine beginner artist from ai filters#even if the person doesn't know what their doing there's an obvious intent#also ai images have jpeg artifacting even though all image outputs are png#funny

[i've never doubted that palestine will live.
the US dropped more than 7.5 million tons of bombs on vietnam, laos and cambodia from 1965-75. they destroyed our land, used agent orange, slaughtered villages, separated families, the list goes on.
but we're. still. here.
indigenous people are still here. black people are still here. colonized people are resilient. even if you kill our people, ban our languages, destroy our homes, heritage sites and artifacts, we will always find a way to keep our cultures alive and that has always been true
so much of the west and isntreal's tactics and actions are hauntingly familiar to me as a viet person. its a colonizer's rinse and repeat. and so that's how i know palestine will be free. we've seen this film before]
