News, articles etc: no one wants to work, Gen Z destroy workplaces with their behavior, they are demanding and picky, Gen Z cares about work-life balance and don't want to make sacrifices, employers complain about Gen Z, Gen Z destroy the old order in work

Me after watching Perfect Propose: …….. well CAN YOU DESTROY IT FASTER??

"You work harder because everything is on the line. Your name, your honor, your family, your life. Those burger flippers might have better life expectancy - but what kind of life is it anyway."

Hiro (Snow Crash) thinking about a job that isnt delivering pizza.

[ibreathhere]

I hate it so much what they did to Hiro in that place they sucked his life out of him. How can people treat people like that.

I would die for his coworker. Absolutely die. A thousand deaths. Just for this man and his support of Hiro.

Brainwashing, an abusive workplace or relationship... the way he describes it... honestly, beautiful and aware and kind while never straying away from the honesty that he needed to share. I love it.

my dream cast for M28 (delusional)

the plot would happen somewhere in nagano and in gunma with clues to be collected in both prefectures and in tokyo to get to the truth. in the middle, there would be a cameo with kazami in tokyo, where it's revealed that he was taking care of haro on furuya's request but furuya once again drags him out of his "holiday" to act as their bridge in the capital (cue in a quick shot of kazami running around tokyo with haro under his arm).

also the crucial key to solve the case comes from separate flashbacks about hiro

delusional, indeed, but a fan can dream

[trainsandkitties]

I hope this isn’t a bother, but do you have any relationship hcs? I’d love to hear about what your characters have going on :)

(pls lmk if I’m being annoying)

Ohhh I'm glad to answer any asks!!

I have quite a few hcs cooked up >:))

We have the obvious- Toby and Henrietta being an old married couple. I think everyone sees that as canon though djwjfjsjc (they totally live together in a very cute cottage)

Henry and Hiro are gay for eachother. Spencer had a bit of a thing for Hiro after they got on peaceful terms but was politely humbled (and politely roasted). And now Hen is with Hiro and they have a fuck ton of plants. Also a doggo.

Spencer and James. Weird? Maybe. But I think these two idiots are made for eachother. They have an on and off relationship where they constantly break up and get back together.

Ryan had a huge crush on Thomas. A crush with a capital C. Sadly he wasn't really Thomas' cup of tea and No.1 became his first heartbreak

Emily and Catilyn. Need I say more? Emily is a femme lesbian and Catilyn is a masc lesbian. They don't live together but have frequent sleepovers (to Connor and James' annoyance[Jam is Emily's roommate]).

Okay now a weird one- Rebecca and The Flying Scotsman. My Becca is a bit different since she was on Sodor as a replacement when Gordon was recovering from literarly exploding during TGR. And then went back to the mainland. Another weird thing- she and Scott have kids. My engines have low fertility, but these two made it work. (will show off the little demons later)

Que drumroll: Edward and Gordon. Very unexpected. I totally don't yammer about them all the time. They're married unofficially (and later get it on paper the moment it becomes legal)

You're not annoying at all :]]

[omi-papus]

That whole Star boy thing with Wish really just tells me that for suposed marketing behemoths they dont know their audience at all like because do you know the fucking GRIP these two little shits had at the time and still have on the internet?? They literally built it so that the young fangirls that watched it when it came out and where about Hiros age, even when they grew out of that they can go straight to the older guy. Literally man lovers (I say that with love) are terryfying they will carry your stuff to the moon and back if theres some form of atractive kinda man in there. Im the Robin simp hanging out with all the Al-An simps I would know. Why they dont just capitalize on that shit outside of japan is fucking beyond me.

Give the boy kissers what they want. Its good buissness practice I swear.

[frenzyarts]

idk if u ever wondered this but i wonder why whenever people talk abt au characters there’s like an exclamation point in the middle. like example yandere!sans like what was up with that

Reddit has the answer :D from this Reddit post (copy and pasted here for your convenience)

“"! = The Exclamation Mark or 'Bang' Symbol -- refers to a short form for expressing the presence of a particular trait or defining quality of a character in a story. One which is usually not part of the original canon characterization, or is at least an extreme interpretation of the canon characterization. Most often written in the format of trait first and character's name last, with the symbol in between. (For example: "Smart!Jack" in Stargate: SG-1, indicating that the character of Jack O'Neill is secretly smarter than he pretends to be.) The compact format of [trait]![character's name] manages to quickly and clearly describe to the reader an accurate depiction of the author's choice in characterization before they even read the story."

http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/moonbeam/terms.html

EDIT: found some more

"Fan Fic communities will often have tags specific to their fandoms that they use to describe tropes that occur with some regularity (Slytherin!Harry, Future!Hiro, or Vamp!Willow, for example). The title of a given Fan Fic 'verse, or an abbreviation thereof, can also be used to indicate the version of a character from that setting, particularly when there have been major changes to them: UF!Utena, SME!Jadeite. Because this kind of tagging is ad hoc and in no way formalized, it's common to see unusual and/or idiosyncratic tags that indicate some truly wild variants, such as Cyborg!Xander or Amberite!Xena. The practice is starting to seep out from fanfiction, though, and can also be used when talking about similar things in the source material, such as, for example, Future!Hiro, Vamp!Willow, or Brainwashed!Undead!Starscream (Energon!Starscream for short). It's also used in a more tongue-in-cheek manner to categorize examples of the Mary Sue in a quick, concise form. It can also be used to identify a specific version of a character or work when it had been done by different people and/or in different media since those can vary wildly from the source material. Sometimes this uses the name of the specific author or simply the form of the work (Manga!Pride, Anime!Greed, Leroux!Erik, or Movie!Phantom) These tags are also occasionally used when dealing with customizable characters in computer games. In addition, tags like this are used in spreadsheet programs to denote what sheet the cell in question is on if it's not on the same sheet as the cell you're typing in. Bang paths were used in early e-mail to specify a UUCP route to a given user, and they're still part of the return path in Usenet"

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CharacterizationTags

EDIT AGAIN: Found even more. There seem to be conflicted views on the origins of this, but this one at least explicitly addresses them:

"Origins The adj!noun format is purported to have started in X-Files fandom. Good examples for this are Wombat's Spotter's Guide to the Common Krycek and the accompanying Spotter's Guide to the Common Mulder where several Krycek sub-species such as Bad to the Bone!Krycek, Bad but Lovin'!Krycek, Hot'n'dirty!Krycek or Misunderstood!Krycek and Mulder sub-subspecies such as Angst!Mulder, Basketcase!Mulder, HappySlut!Mulder, Sensitive!Mulder and WellAdjusted!Mulder are described. The first usage was Action!Mulder, referring to canon scenes where Mulder suddenly went all actiony (instead of talky), followed by Saint!Scully. Eventually they lost the initial capitals and the canon connections; by the time it hit other fandoms, it was being used to describe fannish things.[1] Some believe that the use of the exclamation mark came originally from coding, particularly javascript, where it has the meaning of "not". Thus, Saint!Scully would essentially mean, a characterization (in fanworks) of Scully as a saint which diverges from who Scully really is in the show. This possible origin remains obscure, though, and this belief about the bang appears nowadays quite rare."

FINAL EDIT:

Thanks this was actually an interesting little side-trip into something I didn't previously know about.”

Also this:

“Thank you so much! This was exactly what I was after. :)

EDIT: I just found this additional explanation from a Tumblr post, makes sense!

It’s originally from C/C++ code. If you have a boolean variable that’s true or false and you put a ! in front of it, it just flips the value. If the variable is X and X is true, then !X is false. So it’s basically saying the character is the variable, ! activates a different version of the variable, and the identifier at the front tells you what version of the variable it is.”

I had wondered if it had something to do with programming, I’ve worked with C++ and javascript in the past 🤔 thanks for sending me down that rabbit hole anon!!

[ask-the-royal-absol]

Chance: So, you may be wondering, “How on earth are you gonna show a death battle? Is that not too gruesome for TV?” And I say don’t you all worry your pretty little heads. This battle royal is simulated, meaning the contestants will not feel a thing. As it’s styled like The Hunger Games, the aim of the game is to be the last one to survive! The last contestant remaining will get the Victorious Ones trophy from yours truly!

We’ve sent everyone down into their districts. Before I give the signal for everyone to begin, let’s have a listen in to some contestants thoughts through our live video screen!

Chance: Oh ho! A bit of smack talk from one of the contestants! This will be exciting! I wonder if the other contestants are feeling as confident or whether their nerves are getting the best of them!

(The 200 follower event is a go! Each week, I will post what the simulator mentions on it and add some drawings about what’s happened. As I said, I’m not gonna make them gruesome or serious. It will be in a comedic tone with slapstick-styled “deaths”.

Now that you know the very first pairings, feel free to draw your character either talking smack to the other character in your district or perhaps some other form of dialogue. This is not mandatory in any way! This is solely for a bit of fun before I get to drawing the events that are taking place! If you do draw any art for this event, please tag me or use the #200followerhungergamessim tag.

I wonder who’s gonna kill Destino lol

from @DrALJONES@mastodon.social: ~The good die young: The verdict on Henry Kissinger (?)~ "The world Kissinger wrought is the one we live in today, where ideal investment conditions are generated from the barrel of a gun. Today, global capitalism & US hegemony are underwritten by the most powerful military ever devised. "He, more than any other public figure, illustrates the links between capitalism, empire, & the feedback loop of endless conflict that plagues us today" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My comment to @DrALJONES: He didn't do it by himself, but he DID encourage others thru his global domination policies, 2 sacrifice 100's of millions of lives 2 effect his agenda of world domination by the US empire. What shocks me 2 the core is that he got away with more than Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Pol Pot, Kim Jong il and Hiro Hito's General, Hideki Tojo…combined. You may ask, how is that possible? Answer: Kissinger's motivation 2 elevate & sustain the United States status as the #1 world nuclear power. 😒☠️

[firstagent]

There was a question at the end of 2021 about how other Chosen Children would deal with Kurata and you didn't say for the Ghost Game ones because it was too early to tell. Now that Ghost Game is over, what do you think?

Controversial take here but... the Ghost Game kids would be pretty calm about dealing with Kurata.

Kurata's a gut-check of an enemy for two reasons: his vile attitude towards both humans and Digimon, and his ability to permadeath Digimon. Those aren't all that scary in the Ghost Game universe.

Hiro and company run into Digimon hiding from hostile or encroaching humans all the time. That's nothing new. And all the same there are humans with twisted desires capitalizing on Digimon who enable them. They might not be as bad as Kurata, but it's not enough of a step up that they wouldn't be capable of sucking it up and rising to the occasion. After all, if they're not traumatized by all the stuff they actually encounter, what's a Belphemon battle for them?

The permadeath is a little stickier because some of the deaths they encounter do leave scars. Gammamon's reaction to Bokomon dying was... not great. But given their perspective on that, is there really much of a difference between permadeath and rebirth in a dying Digital World? Of all the nasty stuff the Ghost Game team encounters and the massive threat, Kurata might feel like more of the same to them.

Log #1 "Okay So- I got myself into this mess" Loading....

Some friends gave me their thoughts on the series after I asked around and their answers made me think.

AreOri is an alternate timeline where Fubuki Atsuya lives, the alien attack didn't happen, Gouenji didn't have to run, Raimon got divorced and went separate ways, and teams have sponsors now because capitalism. (im joking on some parts but still)

Now, we're starting where everything is dead and done and Raimon already went to other schools and made a name for themselves, and we're following a new cast who have to deal with the aftermath of everything. And the new villain, children perfectionism/ half-joke. I haven't finished Ares yet, but I can feel like that's a part of the theme especially with the whole schtick the Balance of Ares program's got going on. But that's a different story for a different time.

What I'm gonna be talking about now is the characters.

Of course that characters we loved and knew from the OG series are gonna be different here. (im still confused about someoka ngl) The development they went through in the OG is gonna be pretty different here or probably non-existent. A huge part of Fubuki's arc was caused by his family's death and it all avalanched into mental instability. (if my memory's right, it's been a while since i've revisted the OG series) Kazemaru also probably didn't leave Raimon in the AreOri timeline, so guess what, he just teams up with the antagonist in his character arc in every timeline. It actually reveals an interesting about his character, tho (i HAVE to watch the entirety of OG, im feeling it)

But the thing is, we also have ANOTHER cast to develop along with explaining some of the changes with the first cast. I feel like there's going to be a lot of flashback moments with the old cast. And to make up for the lack of development of some characters, I'm gonna involve the new cast into their development so the spotlight gets shared equally if it comes to it. Cause the new cast needs some love AND development. But I still have to finish the series and study them more.

So, my thoughts so far on Ares:

Rushed. Jesus H. Christ, twas rushed. It gives the feeling of tuning in while missing out on parts of the story, atleast for me. The first episode made me feel like I was missing the first half of it. I wished they let us see what the kids' life on the island was like. You know to SHOW US WHY WE SHOULD CARE FOR IT. Shoving a bunch of kids crying for their parents on screen aint gonna cut it for everyone, my good men. Show us what their life was like, what they were gonna miss. At least like a part so the flashbacks in their training felt a bit foreshadowed and connects to what we saw to the first ep to make it a little more memorable. (i am losing brain power fast, so im not sure if this makes any good sense)

The thing with Ares, Akane, and Nosaka got me curious. The Inakuni has potential. Haizuki's funny. I kind of like his development. Also I love Endou's civilian fit when he made his first appearance. Idk i just fell in love with it. (give him back his melanin pls) Kozoumaru's interesting, especially his connection with Gouenji (dude helps out a kid in every timeline). Hiura's supposed to be like a detective, right? Let him be more detective-y. Goujin's funny. He has a little charm to him. Mansaku and Michinari are interesting, especially their family dynamics. I love Iwato and Hattori's relationship. They're cute. Who is Okuiri Hiro? I love Norika's personality (it's a personal favorite thing). I think her backstory and home life are interesting. Hiyori's cute and I like him. He's silly. Coach Zhao is Coach Zhao. (this man is a war criminal) I like the new managers. She's silly and Anna's nice.

I'm gonna save Asuto (Bug Boy) for another post.

Peace Out!

hiiii !!! could i request for hiro hamada and wasabi from big hero 6? thanks :)

Hi there, Mikey! I really hope that you like this a lot!

Hiro Hamada's MBTI Type, Big Three and Enneagram Type

MBTI Type: INTP [The Logician]

INTPs prefer spending time alone so they can explore their rich inner world, and prolonged exposure to big groups of people can make them feel drained.

Their focus lies more on understanding the big picture than on noticing the tiny details. They want to know how things connect together, which gives them great intuition for solving complex problems.

As the most thinking-oriented of the types, they rely on logic rather than emotion as their main influence in decision making.

An INTP normally likes to keep their options open rather than locking themselves into a commitment. They’re flexible and spontaneous, which allows them to capitalize on opportunities that come available at the 11th hour.

Big Three: Gemini Sun, Cancer Moon and Aquarius Rising

Gemini Sun: Geminis are chatty and talkative, priding themselves on being in-the-know when it comes to news and gossip. Their dualistic nature allows them to see situations from a number of perspectives.

Cancer Moon: The emotions of Cancer Moons have no limits, restraints, or depths. This is a cosmic placement that often leads to sweetness, kindness, emotional awareness and responsibility. 

Aquarius Rising: This rising sign can speak lucidly on a number of topics, using their lofty knowledge to charm crowds and solve problems alike.

Enneagram Type: 5w4 [The Philosopher]

Basic Fear: Types five with a four wing are afraid of being helpless and incompetent. They tend to overcompensate for this by spending their time developing new knowledge and skills to feel useful and worthy.

Basic Desire: Their basic desire is to feel helpful and able. They express this by passionately pursue knowledge and understanding of the world.

Philosophers tend to guard themselves by withdrawing from others, which may lead to loneliness.

Wasabi No-Ginger's MBTI Type, Big Three and Enneagram Type

MBTI Type: ISTJ [The Logistician]

Introverted ISTJ types process the world internally. They tend to feel drained after social events and need time alone to recharge.

Highly pragmatic, they tend to focus more on the details, rather than the bigger picture. They make decisions based on what they see and know right now.

Logisticians prioritize logical thinking and are more concerned with facts than emotion. They believe the truth is more important than people’s feelings.

They are very structured and organized, preferring to plan ahead and follow rules and processes. They are disciplined and have a strong work ethic.

Big Three: Virgo Sun, Virgo Moon and Virgo Rising

Virgo Sun: Governed by communication planet Mercury, Virgos are the thinkers of the zodiac. Virgos process information with diligence and use facts to solve problems.

Virgo Moon: Virgo Moons use their calm nature to gain deep clarity on matters, filtering questions through their kind, but reasonable, lens.

Virgo Rising: Virgo ascendants are the fact-finders and checkers of the zodiac. They are fair-minded and slow to anger.

Enneagram Type: 1w2 [The Activist]

Basic Fear: People who are type one with a two wing generally have a basic fear of being immoral and making impure choices. They avoid this by making a conscious effort to make ethical choices.

Basic Desire: They also have a natural desire to be upstanding and humane. They try to fight for the rights of those less fortunate and love being hands-on in making a difference by volunteering in their community.

Activists tend to respond to negativity by redirecting their emotions in order to gain a sense of control. In type ones with two wings, this may lead to sudden outbursts or breaking points, as they work through their emotions more externally.

[tobiasdrake]

Can you imagine what it must have been like for Makoto and the others when the broadcast began?

Makoto: Okay, we've got the green light. Looks like they're all in. Usami should start putting them through the program shortly. Byakuya: This better be worth the resources we've invested in it, and I don't just mean financial. We're burning a lot of political capital for this. Hiro: Hey, don't worry so much. I have a feeling they're all going to be okay. Every single one of them. Monokuma: Yeah, he's probably right. I wouldn't worry about it too much. They're in good hands. Makoto: I know. I'm just trying to be prepared for--hang on, what? Monokuma: *on the screen* HEY HEY GUYS CHECK OUT MY NEW SHOW! Makoto: WHAT. Byakuya: No. Hiro: WHAT!? Byakuya: How. Hina: *running in from other room* Did I just hear MONOKUMA!? Monokuma: Cancelled by the network but BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND, let's give it up for a bold new season of the MUTUAL KILLING GAME!!!

Just. Can you imagine the outrage, the horror, and the PTSD that must have been floating around that room?

Shogun episode 1

Hiro's voice is so ^q^

Everything about him is ^q^

I LOVE that habit of his of softly whispering the end of his lines. ^qqqqqq^

"The Lady is not more of a prisoner in my castle than I am here."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!

Lord "Drop the Mike" in da house, bitch!

I'll call Yabushige "Mr Caricature" because it's written in bold capital "I AM THE VILLAIN" on his face, his clothes and his land. And of course, he's cruel and sadistic and of COURSE a motherfucking honorless traitor and hungry for power. And a pedophile too.

The last time I saw such a villain caricature was Kira in the 47 ronin. And look at that, it's the SAME actor. But here, it is SLIGHTLY subtler.
