Bootleg Ciggys

[chibipandaao3]

My hope for the last episodes of Middleman’s Love

Episode 6, resolves the miscommunication

There’s miscommunication in the book as well, but it’s more nuanced. Sports Day is when Jade realizes his feelings BUT Mai has yet to confess. I’m hoping that since they changed the sequence around some — and that Jade is clearly interested in Mai — that the miscommunication is resolved by the end of this episode

Episode 7, family introduction

I ADORE Jade’s introduction to Mai’s family in the book, it’s super cute. He’s extremely nervous and terrified that being himself will be too much for Mai’s parents — at one point while Jade is talking he stops and explicitly asks if he’s talking too much. There’s also a moment where some guys are clearly checking Jade out — who’s obviously — and Mai is POSSESSIVE. Amazing

It could also be a shifting moment for Mai’s mom who, while accepting, was also clearly still processing. You know, meeting Jade and understanding why Mai is as infatuated as he is.

Episode 8, move in/job/romance

I’d love for the apartment situation to be discussed in the show, because it’s very endearing. Mai, following graduation, takes a job at a different company and doesn’t like that Jade will be commuting alone again — so he suggests a home closer to both offices. It’s very sweet. They also have a number of dates and cute events that take place as well.

And while I really couldn’t care less, I imagine the show will give us an NC scene. Hopefully, it’s preceded with King’s pep talk to Jade because their friendship is hilarious

Bits and bobs

I’d love more friendship between Jade and Uea & Jade and King — it’s super endearing and genuine. But that might have to stay in my fanfic land given how short the show is.

I’d love to see and engagement for JadeMai (lol) and/or a wedding for Uea/King just to flush out the story even more.

I think it could be interesting for Mai to see the dynamics of Jade’s family — how he’s sorta unintentionally ousted.

Yeah, today is the day to write FrUK.

[tleeaves]

Don't know what I ate today but my nightmares be WILD tonight. I can hardly explain any of this but I am still scared of heights and falling apparently, and also hot things.

[justanawesomeowl]

Just sounding It out, I might be able to apply for a EUIPO internship

[travestismo]

every day I have to do tasks. and even worse, every day I have to spend money

[pricknim]

During my time i university I've come to the conclusion that ai bros are the most annoying type of programmers. Especially the ones that will go out of their way to learn some underground, barely documented language and are using some kind of special Linux distro. Like yall might be smart and shit, but you're still the most insufferable people on earth

Description & preview pics under the cut:

Venus Girdle REDONE: Fullbright

Yay, I fixed it! I hated the way the OG version came out, cuz I really wanted it to glow similar to how IRL Venus Girdles do.

Close enough! ^0^

Angler Fish FX Machine (LN EP REQ)

These things are frikkin frightening--y'all owe me for this, LOL.

I made TS4's Angler Fish a recolorable Late Night EP FX Machine so it could spit out bubbles, cuz ofc it should. Found under Party/Entertainment.

Fullbright: Neon Flock & Kelp Lights

I made Severinka's Neon Flock ACTUALLY neon, by making it glow with the Fullbright Shader, as well as making it recolorable. IDER what category it's in--use the Search mod like god intended.

The Kelp Outdoor Lights also have the Fullbright Shader.

EA Kraken as Decor

Includes 2 variations. Found under Lawn Ornaments (IIRC). This mesh is friggin huge, so you'll need a big enough lot to fit in on.

Hang 10 Seal as Decor

I took the Evil Seal mesh from EA's Surfing Station, and made it a Lawn Ornament. I added the retexture from @mspoodle1's Hang Ten mod. You'll need an OMSP with these.

Shell Wall Decor REDONE

I was NOT prepared for how huge & clunky the IP EP mesh was, omg. I reduced the scale, removed the USELESS square frame/border, and added an extra version with a Flipped mesh. Jfc, EA.

Pets EP Hay DR (Blue)

While playing with horses in Mermaidia I realized that their hay/straw was a garish yellow that made no sense underwater. So I decided to fix it. AFAIK this texture replacement only affects 2 items:

The Pets EP Horse Stalls (including @mspoodle1's No Walls version)

The Pets EP Hay Pile that sims woohoo in.

UNI EP Sketchbook DR (Aquatic)

These are all the swatches possible--I have no idea what levels they show up for, it seemed pretty random AFAIK:

This is them hung up:

Pearl Pattern Non-Seamless

Found under Plastic, I'm tired.

That's that!

I've decided to post small AUs I'll never write here lol.

Modern 2024 AU, everyone is human. Ryuk is internet famous for having a YouTube channel in which he makes videos Only about apples. He’s been doing this for years and is now a living Meme. He has a series, 10-20 min per episode, where each ep is him just rigorously reviewing a single type of apple. Light is his roommate who at the start would only occasionally appear in the background. Sometimes Light would also give his opinion on the apple if Ryuk couldn’t decide on a rating. Light would do so much less enthusiastically but so logically sound it was fascinating to witness.

Light eventually has his own fans, and people start wanting him to appear more. He does so, and the videos now include deep dives into the apple's history as a context for its availability, regional popularity, use in recipes, etc. The vids are now 40-60 min long, but people still love them. Light's deadpan superiority and Ryuk's unhinged enthusiasm are really entertaining.

Then one commenter (SweetRyuzaki) starts asking him detailed questions, often disputing Light’s historical facts, and Light gets annoyed and responds and they argue for like 50+ comments while the peanut gallery posts their fights on twitter and tumblr. Light eventually knows more about apples than wikipedia does, just to spite that one commenter.

Lots of subtle digs at SweetRyuzaki are now included in their videos.

Oh btw, L Lawliet is Ryuk and Light's classmate at Uni. He’s a big fan. L eventually gets involved in the channel too by procuring rare types of apples for Ryuk's videos. He's rich and is (secretly) funding crossbreeding programs to ensure new types never run out. Ryuk loves him and invites him over all the time, and L helps them film and edit. Light starts to rant to L about the evil SweetRyuzaki and his asinine opinions and conspiracy theories (that seems so true Light spends his weeknights researching them just to prove him wrong in the next video). The fans love their fights btw; they ship it and Light hates them all. Ryuk is having the time of his life.

L always nods along and agrees with Light that Ryuzaki is an evil troll. He volunteers his body to help Light 'get over' his anger and frustration after every video is posted. Lots of sex ensues.

L is winning at life. Until Light tracks down SweetRyuzaki's IP address.

tell us more about matt please, he was a guest speaker at your uni?

Yes!! yes yes. He was here to do an interview/lecture about 'crafting a narrative', so he answered questions from a professor here about critical role, games, his 'secret origin story', and a number of other things. It was legit so nice. I think I'm a little in love with him. who said that.

It was so surreal to see him in person. He looked kind of sheepish as we were all cheering, like he wasn't supposed to be there- we were all over the moon. When prompted for his origin story, he talked about how his grandmother, a little old lady from georgia, was secretly super into fantasy and got him hooked on piers anthony and isaac asimov as an eight year old, and how his dad doing occasional background voice work got him interested and how that snowballed into years of hard work in hollywood.

He talked about his friend Liam mentioning that he hadn't been able to play DnD since he was little and how he offered to DM a one shot for his birthday- and how a few weeks later he was meeting a few acquaintances to discuss characters (he said he was flustered meeting Ashley Johnson who he'd grown up watching), and then afterwards they started meeting more and more often. Then as word got around they were doing it, Felicia Day offered to put them on a new twitch channel- and how nerve wracking it was to put themselves out there and on the internet.

he said to lean into your passions. Nowadays there's a tendency to call passion 'cringe', but there's nothing shameful about loving the things you care about.

He talked about how capitalism wants you to produce and produce and produce and how that is antithetical to art and to creating, because in order to really make something you're proud of you need to have the time to do it. This led into him talking about making the animated show, how after the kickstarter blew up a bunch of companies approached them, wanting to own the ip. he described it as the moment in a movie when someone pushes a little paper with some exorbitant amount on it- but he said that none of them wanted to be millionaires. They weren't in it for money, so they said no and partnered with the only company who wanted to let them do their own thing: Amazon. He acknowledged the irony of that, and how surprised all of them were when that was the company that gave them the most freedom.

there was so much other stuff- he talked about how the industry is a community, how you can be a really successful actor and also a good person, how everyone should be lifting each other up because it wasn't a race to the top, it was collaboration. Really wonderful stuff, you know? His philosophy of being kind really shone through the whole time.

anyway of course there was more but this is off the top of my head what he talked about!! it was so so good bro I love that man. always meet your heroes.

@trans-leek-cookie

Yes, Karla Ortiz and other big popular artists in her group in the anti-ai art scene are basically pro-capitalist grifters.

They helped with + promoted nightshade n glaze (made by UCLA and Chicago Uni), and established part of the narrative surrounding these tools as "solutions" while barely understanding it; so this groups' influence on these discussions can't be understated too.

(Am going to focus mainly on Karla Ortiz tho) The popular artist groups in question established:

The "Concept Artist Association" as a non-profit org in september 2022, with little transparency. This does not trustworthy. It used to also be a private LLC.

Made gofundme of $270k us dollar for part of class action lawsuit and lobbying, "protecting artists from AI technologies", while hiring and become part of Copyright Alliance (with notorious members such as Adobe, Disney, UMG). These tactics are known for making the lives of artists and creators hell (example: the many comic artists, writers, illsutrators, musicians that don't own their stuff n can't make anything of their creations IP because it's owned by Disney, or Marvel, or Nintendo now.)

Has supported and followed other "pro-artists" that try to extend this crusade of being against "art stealing" and "copyright stealing", to the Internet Archive being a menace. And gave support to others' efforts to shut down Internet Archive's library book lending, using same rhetoric. Synonymizing "book publishers" and big companies with "creators". (Though atm, only have 1 foto abt it on hand bc it's been a while)

Those professional popular artists have been criticized by smaller artists as copyright expansion benefits bigger rich artists while harming small ones n those that don't have resources to go against giants like Disney.

In the case of Karla Ortiz, she is known to do whatever benefits her as a big creator n barely listens to smaller artists. Support of NFTs, pro-capitalism pro-copyright, anti-archival, being generally reactionary about art. Whatever.

Obviously, with nightshade and glaze specifically, there are other criticisms to be made. like the apps' high requirements to run thus inaccessible to many, the technology and premise being outdated, this barely affecting the "big companies" people are worried about, the users' not understanding how any of this works, the doomscroll spiraling n fearmongering that many of its users do (inducing panic attacks in some artists about their "art is going to be stolen" bc they can't glaze their work).

Honestly, it gets very repetitive and it is very easy for people to start being anti-piracy classists (example: "don't pirate banned books even when it's by definition not accessible to you bc it's stealing from authors" is a common one) + anti-archival and pro-copyright when someone frames things a certain way, even when basically grifting and harming. Its a whole overarching cycle.
