#Ineffecient

[theology101]

I had two pretty distinct friend groups in High School and like… the concept of me going to aguefort and having to CHOOSE which one i want to be in an Adventuring party with?

It gave me a stress ulcer and it will literally never happen lmao. I just gotta wonder how isolating it is for “this is your party and by consequence the people you will constantly be hanging out with”

give me your high school party comp in the tags

a normal person who ends up getting pushed into the pred role

However it happens. They find their stomach unwittingly stretched with prey

They're embarrassed and scared at what's happened. Unfortunately they have no idea how to spit out the prey.

Their stomach is reluctant to do anything. It expected this wriggling, alive thing that had ended up inside it, to be removed swiftly. So it waited patiently for that to happen. But after a while, it has no other choice but to try and digest the person inside it.

They had to go somewhere. So if they werent going back up. The stomach supposed they'd have to go further in, downwards.

The person's belly starts a very slow and ineffecient process. They complain the whole time. To be fair, they will have a bellyache for days. Not to mention the moral side of things

Though. They didnt feel hungry for a long while afterwards. It was more food than they'd ever eaten, all in one go.

But it wasnt worth it was it.

Now whenever anyone brings up the whole predator/prey thing, they just laugh nervously. They dont like to think about what they did. And they dont like to hear others talk about it either.

They dont like to tell people about this. They dont consider themselves to be a pred.

But sometimes when their stomach is empty, and rumbling, their mind wanders back to that one time...

Y'know, now that I think of it, Sentinel Prime's regime in One is a perfect showcase of how fascism is an ineffecient system

Fascism values control and domination over a populace above all, and Sentinel achieves this by artificially creating a lower class of manual laborers, doing so by removing the workers cogs before they are born, thus he has an entire caste of workers he are built weaker than the rest of society, making them easier to control

But in doing so he has workers that are less effective at their jobs, the miners can't transform, they can't be transports for raw materials, construction machinery, mining/excavation vehicles, etc, they are worse miners than cogged workers

And we see how this bites Sentinel in the ass, the Quintessons are demanding more and more energon, more than what Sentinel's labor force is capable of providing without the ability to transform, but Sentinel doesn't care, because keeping control is what matters to him, keeping control is what let's Sentinel retain his position as puppet-king

Theories and Headcannons Pt.11

So this theory is basically how Real Life is Third Life created by the Watchers as a punishment for Grian and his group of friends or the other contestants.

After the success of the previous Life Series games that provived enough pain, anguish and drama to satisfy the Watchers, they decided to create a rendition of Third Life to torture Grian once again as afterall by lore standards, it was Grian who first created Third Life.

The twist the Watchers decided to implace onto Real Life where to incoporate compeititors such as Pearl who had a persona who would be easily influenced by bloodlust and dispose of the competitors that they had deemed too weak or ineffecient. This was all done in an attempt to replicate the feeling of torture and anguish at Grian and the other original contestants during Third Life.

But this ultimately failed as Real Life ended quickly through the combined efforts of the contestants crowning Cleo as the new victor. Completing the sextet of winners all linked together through their soul-link bonds. And having the Watchers fail in their endeavour to replecate Third Life as another death game punishment.

Six Sentence Sunday/Creative Proof of Life

Thanks for the tags, @alexalexinii, @shrekgogurt, and @that-disabled-princess!

This WIP post is basically a proof of life statement. I can't believe it's been over a month since I posted Chapter 1 of the Haunting of Simon Snow. I'm so overdue for chapter 2, BUT... instead I finished writing the rough draft. I've been attempting to outline, because when I rough a draft, I really rough it up. Ahem.

So I have been working on it, even if there is zero evidence on AO3 as of yet.

How about some sentences? I haven't sliced up chapters yet, so not sure if this is from chapter two or three, but here's a snippet of Simon on the phone with Penny expressing some smooshy sentiments:

I curl up on the couch a bit more, maneuvering myself so my wings aren’t crushed. “I went flying last night,” I confess then, in quiet tones. Like someone might hear me. “You— Oh, but… You can’t! What if someone sees you?” I can actually hear her biting her lip. She wants to spell my problems away, and she can’t. “But I can,” I say, smiling a bit more. “There’s no one around for acres. No one will even willingly drive here on account of the house being haunted. It’s empty. And I’m flying at night.” I say flying in the present tense and realize I fully intend to fly again tonight.

Penny huffs. Her specialty. “I don’t like it.” “I do,” I say easily, warming up to explaining, hoping she’ll understand. “It’s so freeing, Pen. Like the weight of the world can’t hold me down, anymore. I feel… It’s like… It’s like I’m closer to the stars. Like I’m close to stirring up the milky way.” I let out a sigh, my eyes closing as I drop my head back, indulging in that recent memory. “I don’t hate it as much, when I’m up there. You know?” There’s a few seconds of silence, and I open my eyes again. “Pen?” “Hate what?” she asks quietly.

(just in case you were worried I wouldn't be including angst...)

Bit more info on my progress (maybe some whinging) and tags and hellos below the cut!

Fun facts about my ineffecient writing process:

I spent more than one or two hours clearing asterisks from my rough draft this morning. (Because discord has trained me to do *this* when I write instead of this.) Because I'm trying to listen to my draft via screen readers, but it keeps sounding like "asterisk-impossible-star-fuck me" (that's my favorite one honestly, it's supposed to read "Impossible. Fuck me.") which is really annoying (more often than amusing). ANYWAY… what this has revealed to me is that I use "Fuck" a lot, as well as "So good." Ahem. Take from that what you will.

BTW, I'm sure there's an easier way to do that than manually. Please don't tell me for at least a few days, or I might lose it. I am but a mortal being, with a tattered heart and patience worn thin. (Or something.)

OKAY. It's been awhile since I did one of these posts. Time really flies. Gonna give this list my best shot, but as always, open to any who want to participate! (Also adding some new names in for the new year so this is sort of my "Gee I hope this is cool with you" super long tag list. If you'd rather not be tagged, just drop me a missive to that effect!)

Lastly, quick note/question. Tumblr seems to be remiss in informing me when I've been tagged in other posts. Is this a common issue?

Civilian Tim shoots Joker on live television.

It's a whole daydream thing that started with Joker Junior though actually in this AU, there was no Joker Junior, it's just comics Wayne major-shareholder Tim Drake picking up a gun, Joker grinning at him, opening his mouth, and Tim just shoots him.

Something about 'not Robin so does not compromise the symbol and standards the Bats and Birds should always uphold' and it's just ineffecient to let him keep running around.

Like Joker being killed by a 'random Gothamite', which Tim Drake is. No personal grudge, no close family victims more than the usual Gothamite, just some guy in a shirt and pants and a gun on the ground, the Joker in front, and enough 'whatever' vibes. Just another case of, someone has to do it and if no one else is going to be that someone, then yeah I guess Tim can be.

Like, seems like no narrative theme or reason, no poetic justic or irony or a punchline for the Joker, he doesn't know this boy and he couldn't be Batman's civilian ID, was he even old enough for facial hair, just a boy out of the left field.

But ALL the consequences and after effects of it.

Streamer! Genshin Character x Character Reader Au

AU: An Alternative universe where the genshin characters are streamers and they decided to play genshin.

• Gender Neutral Reader

First Encounters and Impressions

Diluc: @D_Ragnv1ndr

Of course, were starting with my favourite.

He is a variety streamer

He would stream Baking/Coffee Brewing, Chess, Late night chats and many more.

He mostly streams during the night and occasionally during the day.

He always says Hello when he first starts stream

Chat can't spell his name :)

Chat calls him Strawberries or Cherry at times

Found out about Genshin Impact from his community and them wanting him to play it.

So he proceeds to download it

He found out the visuals and music were very nice

He then proceed with the Story Quest.

Diluc found the character of the Cavalry Captain a bit annoying

Half of chat agrees and half not so much.

Did the Character of the Cavalry Captain's Domain the last

He had a migraine and wanted to quit the game when he was playing the domain

Cue chat fucking laughing at his misery

"Your all saying that there's a character I might like if I do this domain?"

Proceeds to contemplate if he should really continue with the game.

"Knights of Favonius...always so ineffecient"

Diluc froze as he watched the screen.

Chat knew he liked the character

Diluc.exe stopped working

Proceeds to stare at the screen.

You were the saving grace of this game.

Chat thanks you

"Who is that?"

Cue a bit blushing Diluc

Chat clips that.

A bit sad that you only had so little dialogue in when you appeared.

Will definitely play again! Chat will probably send some fanart to them!

Raiden Ei; @Ei_ternity

Is mostly based on technology like coding and stuff, and Chill Sessions.

Doesn't have a fixed schedule

Chat calls her Mother. As Mommy was one of the banned words

Yae miko is one of the Mods.

Doesn't play video games often

Viewer recommended Genshin Impact.

Yae said that there's a character that she'll like.

Co-op sessions with Yae is always chaos.

Arrived at Inazuma and found it really cool.

She liked the aesthetics and colors.

"Capable of using the elemental energy without a vision"

Raiden found you visually appealing.

She loved your aesthetics and she admired your power

Now chat is going feral as Raiden is always stoic during streams but she's smiling.

Chat Fucking Clips it

Raiden is a bit worried if you'd fit her team or what do you need for materials.

"I want to pull for her... But will she be strong enough for the team?"

Many of chat would say yes and they'd send some screenshots of your damage as main dps.

[msfbgraves]

It’s odd that omega/omega is so taboo, when a male omega can still get a female omega with child. And that’s what their society loves right, lots of children! I might be misquoting you, but I recall there being a post where you mentioned something along the lines of Terry liking that Daniel had never been with an Alpha before, and finds omega/omega hot. Would it have been an issue to Terry if Daniel had been with an Alpha before him? What if he’d gotten with child?

Instinct wants survival of people above all else. Alphacentric society values exclusivity much more. Maybe being ride or die for every person alive, as an Alpha, is ineffecient - that's why they mark omegas and are, by and large, faithful. So Alphas being so possessive of omegas is their instinct too. Still, betas, omegas and even Alphas feel in their gut that two omegas can make a puppy, which nature wise is Good, but Alphas wanting to possess omegas is also Good, which drives Alphas spare with inner conflict which makes it taboo and hot.

Alphas may need to Go So Hard on the ownership because while for them, wanting to focus on one mate who they will be able to knock up regularly is beneficial, this whole exclusivity thing is not so great for betas and omegas. Betas don't get pregnant or impregnate that easily, they need to sleep around to increase their chances of success, and omegas have the superpower of both being able to impregnate or get pregnant by nearly all genders. Yes, heats are very good for snatching Alphas and getting pregnant almost 100% of the time. Alphas are the quickest way, but not the only way, and with no Alphas around an omega body will find another partner to reproduce with, eventually. Omega/omega pregnancies happen, but rarely, because they want an Alpha or beta protector too. Still, put two omegas together long enough, with no one else around, and a puppy will be born. And especially in harems with a strong Alpha presence and lots of omegas - a lot of those omega babies are fathered by fellow omegas, not the Empress or Emperor, because the protector role is filled, they're safe and they're free to get to it, ahem.

So if Danny boy had been with another Alpha...was he claimed? Then Terry wouldn't have him, not as long as that other Alpha was still alive since Terry would have to kill the other Alpha to claim Danny. Huge deterrent (though for Danny Boy? Maybe!) Was he claimed but that Alpha was dead now? No problem. Was he not claimed, but would have still had sex with another Alpha? That means baby would have been left unsupervised and unprotected, which is nearly impossible in this world for rich omegas like Daniele LaRusso. But had he been abducted and impregnated but not bitten, Terry would gleefully be the one to claim him for good. Claim the pup as his too. People adopt more readily because an Alpha who can raise a pup is a good Alpha, and again, helping pups survive brings status no matter whose they are. Alphas want to claim omegas, but the puppy does not have to be theirs genetically. They just need to accept the Alpha as head of the family. Again, see John Kreese and adopted omega pup Johnny Lawrence.

Would Daniele have been impregnated by a beta or omega, that would be a complete non issue. Proof of fertility, excellent! Terry would claim both Danny and the pup as his without a second thought.

all my html/css is so ineffecient its funny and its like that because isntead of learning properly i just bruteforced it until it vaguely resembled what its supposed to

[elytrafemme]

something i’ve been practicing is being a lot kinder to myself about doing assignments. right now i’m working on the same invoice form i’ve been strugglign with for two months. and all my friends who also invoice for similar reasons have been really kind to me about it. so i’m just... taking it easy. every five minutes or so i go back in, do a small thing, take a break. and maybe that’s ineffecient but hey, im getting it done. bit by bit. and tahts important.

6 Apr, BOS @ LAA, 1-2, loss

It turns out that bitching about wins is dumb. Whether it's a 1-0 win or an 8-6 win, regardless of the errors or dipshittery, it's still dumb. I feel like an idiot. Especially with other things going wrong. Trevor Story going on the IL, for instance. If you're struggling to remember who Trevor Story is, he's our shortstop who every single Red Sox pundit has said is essential to our lineup being able to perform above expectations this season. Yeah. Essential. Le sigh.

Anyway. The last few games have had a very 2023 Red Sox feel to them what with the errors and facepalming and everything. We should have won last night. Neither of the Angels runs were earned. NEITHER OF THEM. Ugh. They came on one stupid Raffy error which came from a bad play at short by Pablo Reyes. It's too early in the season to be this emotional and melodramatic and yet here I am, emotional and melodramatic about games. There's a lot going on, tbh. Am I going to dwell in the doldrums, resent a wasted pitching performance? No. That's not what this blog is. I am going to look at the bright sides.

The pitching staff didn't allow an earned run. Whitlock was ineffecient, but ground it out for four and a third. Weissert, who took the loss, still has a 0.00 ERA. Slaten struck out five in the seventh and eighth, keeping the Sox in the game. They deserved better from their fielders.

Jarren Duran continues to be scathingly hot - he knocked in the only Sox run and made an absolutely awesome catch in left. He also rode a sandworm to the ballpark for the game.

Connor Wong scored the only Sox run and caught a thieving Angel trying to steal a base. That's good.

I am choosing to believe these last few mistake-laden games are aberrations rather than the norm. We are better than this and will be better than this and will get 'em tonight (tonight my time... it's a day game where they're actually playing).
