The guy who got scared of Azula in the Beach episode after she kissed him was such a pussy tbh

like if I met a girl who said we'd be the most powerful couple and dominate the world I would've loved her immediately 🙄

banging my head against the wall while i say: "relatability is not the be all end all of writing a character. saying that you don't find a character relatable/you wouldn't have made the same choices does not mean something is poorly written. you actually should go out of your way to engage with media about people who are fundamentally different from you because it helps you learn about others."

Alright, after carefully examining the evidence from the last few days I believe I've found the answer to the Ultimate Prize. I believe that at the end of this digsite dive we will find the relics of an ancient civilization. Among them will be a statue depicting their revered god, a leader of the Ancient Times. Him.

Kind of worried about the hype João is getting from tennis media tbh........

sometimes you need to think to yourself if you really want something you love but has few fans to have more ppl interested, specially if it's a niche character or a niche ship

A lovely idea! I sure hope it doesn't offend anybody! :D

I had an idea. What if the Gaydar was like, an actual thing? in my mind, I can see a small, pocket-sized gadget, round, about the size of your palm. There's a little piece that sticks out on one end, and when you point it at someone, and press a little button, there's a little cute worm-like creature inside, called the Faggot Maggot, and it reads the person's mind, and then spins a dial at the top of the Gaydar. The dial has all the different sexuality flags on it, and whatever one shows through the little window is your answer. If you pay a fee, you can also get an additional dial set and another little creature, called the I-Used-To-Be-A-Ladybeetle-But-Now-I'm-A-Man-Faced-Shield-Bug, and that one allows you to figure out the gender orientation of people. When used on a fictional character, the Faggot Maggot almost always picks a non-heteronormative orientation, for some reason... It's buggy. (And there actually is an insect called a man-face shield bug. I'm a fucking genius.)

Continuing the rant-iness of last post's notes onto this one i think (I appreciate if they're read, i think I'm too self-conscious to have them in the post itself)

need to rewatch carrie the musical so i can get serious about a carrie!chris au because i cannot emphasize enough how much most of that stuff would literally happen to him

Random weird thing I've been seeing recently that's kinda bothered me a bit but I've seen a couple sonic gijinkas with light skin and with that I've seen a few posts being like "sonic isn't white!!"

But. I don't think anyone's explicitly said he was??

Like. Mixed ppl exist. Hispanic/Latino ppl with light skin exist (like me). Asian ppl exist also. Black ppl can have lighter skin too. Like literally any poc can be a wide range of skin tones. Just bc they're pale doesn't mean they're White

It's probably mostly just jokes and I'm overreacting a little bit but y'know it just looks like ppl are assuming he's Just White when the artists don't say otherwise even tho that might not actually be the artists' intent. Unless there's something I'm missing here and someone's making posts saying he Is white or some shit idk lmao

hybe calling woongki slurs is so crazy...

i think we should soft-retire the whole 'this too is yuri'/'yaoi', just like, a little bit 🤏. and maybe consider that characters of any gender can be multifaceted or preform gender non conformity in a way that doesn't inform their sexuality or relationship dynamics. aswell as stop pretending there is an inherent difference between the two as genre's from ppl who aren't actually emerced in that kind of fiction. any gendered relationship can and and probably HAS played out any trope. they're the equivalent of f/f and m/m catagorise on ao3, please.

this is mostly because if I have to read about another het/ m/f couple being 'both Yuri and yaoi' or 'half Yuri half yaoi' I'm going to go ballistic. it's giving 'half gay half straight' 😭

Hello, I've been thinking about code and selling code and sharing code in the rpc because someone posed the question to me of what I'd want to happen if someone was heavily editing a skin I sold, and to be honest, my first instinct was 'take my name off it'. That was met with some surprise, but let me explain why.

Code, to me, is a largely democratic landscape. If you want to learn, hundreds of thousands of people and websites have come together to teach you. Masses of people share open source work on codepen, stack overflow etc. Code as a skill is like assembling an especially abstract puzzle where you can only think about the pieces, not really see them. But most puzzles have similar strategies to solve- start with the corner pieces, then the edges, then the most recognizable patterns etc etc etc working your way down to the more and more difficult details. Most of code- most of my job writing code- involves minimizing the amount of time working on those shared strategies so we can have more time to work on the the interesting bits, the hard bits. the bits that make the site we're working on unique and useful. Frankly, jcink is the easy part of code, by and large. Your data is already structured and provided to you in a very particular way. It is inefficiently, but largely documented. Many other people have solved all the problems you are likely to have trying to build a skin. Skinning is html and css for the vast majority of items. It is the easy stuff. If I sell code, that code is now the property of the person I sold it to. It is not shareable or redistributable. You can't take my code and resell it as your own, but as far as I'm concerned you can do whatever you want with it. If I solved problems that might otherwise feel difficult (accessibility and responsiveness come to mind) cool. You can solve the easy ones, like styling and colors and fonts you like. You can add or subtract things that vibe with what you want that code to do. Once it is sold, it is yours to do with what you like when it comes to personal use. This is true of almost all coding contracts that exist in the entire world. If it weren't, no one would ever hire external contractors to do any work for their company, and I can tell you now, even companies which could fully afford to do all their tech in house absolutely do not in 99% of cases if their business isn't selling their own tech. The rule is generally- you may do anything you like with this, except resell it to someone else. So why take my name off it? I don't endorse how other people code. Even in my professional life, I've taken projects off my portfolio because the client took a project I worked on and broke it (imo), often with other professional developers doing the breaking. If a prospective employer were to go look at it, I'd be embarrassed by what it looks like today. Tell me why I (and my team) created a website that was fully responsive, and they went back to make it adaptive in the year of our lord 2022 because they preferred to have pixel perfect views at 3 specific breakpoints rather than a responsive site. I don't know, it's infuriating. I can't cite that project as an example of my work anymore, because it isn't. I would never leave a site in that state.

So, my first instinct with the idea of people using a skin i sell them as a base is 'take my name off it.' I don't want to be associated if responsive/accessible features are lost due to others working on a skin I wrote. But at the same time, where is the line between using something as a base, and editing a few small features? I certainly don't want to be an arbiter of that, or have to field questions or navigate feelings about it. In fact, personally I would not feel upset at all if someone used a paid for skin as a base, and inviting that kind of discussion is the only way I possibly could get upset since people have weird attitudes about a lot of this stuff. So I think the more practical standard is just to put credit, but make it explicit that the work has been heavily altered. Don't resell or redistribute, and you're golden, imo. Anyway, those are my feelings as someone who writes code for a living. I'm interested to hear counterpoints - constructively of course.
