Sabro Sabnock fans where you at
#I love the how passionate he is about the demon king#he hangs out with stereotypically nerdy people in the demon king battler as a jock-type character because he doesn’t care abt that#he loves all the history and stories to do with every demon king to ever exist so he vibes HARD w them#and THIS panel. he’s being offered a shortcut to becoming the demon king by his uncle and he just ‘no”’#even though iruma’s his ‘rival’ he has UNSHAKABLE faith that if he’d become the demon king#he wouldn’t do it through wimpy shortcuts#and he HELPS him out with demon king history too like they’re friends in all but name#he’s so subversive and three dimensional alongside all the other characters but he deserves some love#mairimashita iruma kun#mairimashita! iruma kun#welcome to demon school iruma kun#sabnock sabro#sabro sabnock

We don't talk enough about the fact that Amelia Pond, s5 Amelia Pond, before the timeline is reset, isn't just a normal orphan. Her parents didn't die, didn't abandon her, and didn't send her away. They never existed in the first place.
And if her parents never existed, then Amelia cannot exist. She is a causal impossibility.
"People fall out of the world sometimes, but they always leave traces." A photograph. A face carved into an apple. Yes. Sure.
A child.
Now that's too big, surely.
But that's what she is. She is exactly the same as these things. A trace. An echo of something that could never be, never was, never could have been.
And the universe should never allow it. A whole person, that's just too much. She could not have continued to exist indefinitely, in normal circumstances, after her parents never existed.
In normal circumstances.
Because the Doctor didn't just save her from things coming out of the crack in her wall. He saved her from going into it. And he didn't just save her from the threat of going into it simply because of its vicinity.
No, by arriving when he did, he interrupted a process that was probably already in motion. And then by arriving again only moments later on a cosmic relative timestream (too quickly for the process to complete) and yet in the local relative timestream, years later --- years of a potential future caught midway through the process of rewriting -- he solidified that existence. Amy is a creature from another timeline, caught in amber. The Doctor prevented her from never existing, but only after she could already never exist.
And so, no one around Amelia thinks about it. Neither does she. There's some kind of consciousness block, because if you thought about it, really thought about it, for two seconds you'd realize she cannot exist. And the human mind can't deal with that. So, to protect itself, everyone's brain simply slides off it before ever noticing. They just assume that her existence makes sense, and don't question it, and don't notice what they don't question, that is staring them in the face.
But of course, to some extent they do notice. They can't think it, but they notice subconsciously that there's something they can't think. They notice there's something wrong with her, something uncanny. And they don't like it, and they alienate her even more because of it.
"Does it ever bother you Pond that your life existence doesn't make any sense?"
#like!!!!!! why arent we talking about this!!!!!!!#amelia pond#amy pond#the ultimate autism metaphor on top of being autistic anyway#doctor who#dw#ndw#dw theory#lavender thoughts#SHE CAN'T EXIST SHE IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE#you called clara the impossible girl but that's amy#and THEN the fact that even after it's all set right#she remains shaped by -- remains deeply traumatized by -- a timeline that never happened; a reality that never was#AUGH !!!!!#some wounds just can't heal even if the thing that caused them never existed in the first place#some wounds remain as a TRACE of the other time just as you yourself were once#THE mental illness rep of all time#and in the big bang of course the doctor had to take the shortcut because if they'd all gone the long way round#she'd have been gone before he got there#as starless universe's little amelia disappeared.... it could be millienia but from another perspective it HAD to be moments#they made it only in the nick of time#and the doctor knew that#pond#the life and times of amy pond#lavender writings

🌻 for Edge?
🌻 (sunflower) - What’s something your character has grown out of? Did it happen gradually or was it a drastic change? What caused this shift?
When Edge was little, he was actually entirely nonverbal! I always like to imagine most Papyri are quiet when very young, and took a while before their first words, but few to the same degree.
Id say it was both gradual and drastic, as he started offering a few sparse words to Red when he was around 6-9, but once they were on their own, there was more pressure to "act normal", so he wound up forcing himself to verbally communicate more frequently than he would've chosen.
Whiiich also sort of answers the next part! It was mostly pressure from "the outside world" (the rest of the underground). Pretty much anything can be perceived as a weakness, and since "quiet" reads more as "shy" for a child/teen, Red discouraged Edge from communicating predominantly in Hands.

#look at that thing.#thing that looks at you#wait does anyone else know that meme that’s like I hired this [picture of character staring] to [picture of character staring] at you#him#it was bad enough he was weird just by behavior but then red was like. ok. you have to stop acting like a character from the shining. speak#one normal sentence. and then little edge would say some shit like is death just a concept or the most true form of existence#and red is like. ok. we need to work on this#ominous little edge my beloved <3#red also told him to keep himself safe by any means so there were plenty of times he’d just like.go through a wall to get away from someone#air walk over a ravine. shortcut straight out of there. like honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d garnered rumors of being spirits#maybe ghost monsters possessing skeleton bodies…#anyway#kiok0r0#clear sky sunset#snow and hail#sun spots#uf edge#underfell papyrus#I will actually also make this this weeks uf papyrus Monday post bc I thought I’d have the other one done today too and I Did Not </3#uf papyrus monday#all the same ty for the ask I’m sorry for all the tags <///3#🌸❕✨#capricious skeletons#babybones

I know little of the Keepers and their cultural norms, but I suppose it should not come as a surprise that matters of grooming and personal maintenance should carry a more pragmatic connotation for those who live in such isolation - or perhaps our friend is simply strange, regardless of his context. I must admit: it was no small comfort to me, in those frigid days heralding the twilight of the Dragonsong War, to discover that our champion did not share our Sharlayan intuition toward personal space. Our more guarded companions don't always share my gratitude for the attention, but I believe that after our long estrangement, even the coldest of hearts could not fail to be warmed by such a gesture.
Wolcred Week 2024 Day 1: Warmth | Home
ok as mentioned in the tags i didnt have time to render a complete scene for this but i found this old mspaint sketch that demonstrates the Vibe. tyagoa just walked up behind him after cleaning up from their meal
#ffxiv#wolcred#wolcred week#wolcred week 2024#valerianart#caption is alphinaud journal entry#please imagine everyone is making camp and sitting down i simply did not have time to draw the wider context U_U#to be perfectly transparent i am doing the prompts kind of ass backwards and the degree of effort varies#but come sit with me and imagine#we can hold hands if you want#anyway tyagoa does a lot of Fussing post-vault#at the time it's really the only tell that things are. well. you know how things are.#i think little grieving alphie would soak that up like a sponge but it would come as quite the shock to the other returning scions#shtola probably had to set some polite but firm boundaries#but tyagoa would appreciate that#he likes knowing what his friends like#and vhasoa was frequently touch-averse so he doesnt take it as an insult or anything#anyway i think it's a combo of [gestures to heavensward] and the way that traveling through the wilderness with a small group feels like#well#like home to him#that kind of shortcuts through all the Eorzean Social Customs that he's learned to navigate#i hc his tribe as being very casually tactile with each other#to the extent that something like this doesn't even register as intimacy#not to him anyway LOL

sometimes i ask my math professors why we're doing a certain thing and i dont know how to explain that i dont mean "this has no real world applications>:(" i mean what are the math applications?
it was such an exciting moment for me when i realized that since combinations/permutations are ways to find how things can be arranged, and probability is just the ways we can get something we're interested in over all the ways we could get something(want/all), combinations and permutations give us ways to find more complicated probabilities without being able to individually list all possible combinations by hand. so the "why are we doing this" for combinations/permutations is "so we can take more complicated probabilities later on". (It's also the basis for the binomial distribution!!)
without being able to understand the direction we're going with an idea it feels like a random exercise instead of the doorway to understanding more complex mathematical ideas and it also makes me feel like i don't understand how all the pieces of the class fit together.
#mathblr#i think this is the main reason that calculus feels easier than statistics for me anyway#is because calculus walks you through very obvious steps from yeah this is an idea that obviously has applications in other formulas#and they actually explain everything going on#until u hit the shortcuts but even then you get WHY you want shortcuts bc they make you use the definition of a derivative first#idk#i wish other math classes were set up like calculus#all that to say if anyone knows what a subspace is and what a basis is and what applications they have in other areas of math ill kiss u#kiss you on the mouth

One thing they don't tell you about the Senshi tulpa that WILL inevitably manifest in your mind to tell you to eat better is that. Every time I make myself a coffee via kuerig instantly, I can hear him. Lamenting the fact that I have become so accustomed to convenience and ease that even a standard coffee machine has become foreign to me. I am thinking about how to make coffee without use of a machine in the first place, I am wondering where my french press went, I can see him. In my mind. Showing me how to make coffee in The Dungeon. Dungeon Coffee.
#dungeon meshi#i'll allow this one to be set free into the wild. i think the world needs to know.#i really love senshi's character too how like. it's easy to feel guilty too if you aren't doing something 'the right way'#and despite him being very set in his ways he manages to alleviate that specific guilt#just by being senshi about it. i have never wanted to learn how to cook. too much work/too many steps#i like instant/ease bc that means i can devote myself completely to the things i AM passionate about#but senshi will manifest in your mind to tell you. you need nourishment to do that#he is just as passionate and detailed about it as i am my art. all i ever want to do is art. esp traditional art#which i think almost feels similar. to magic (digital) vs non-magic (traditional mediums)#each takes a very specific set of skills. one 'feels' easier than the other but a lot Does go into it (digital)#and there is an ease of access esp sharing wise. but i am autistic about the medium itself#yes sometimes i have to wait a day to even share my stuff cause the sun went down#yes there's less ways you can take shortcuts. you have to do Everything by hand#but that's what i love about it. espppp blending my pencils.#but going back i do not have that same level of interest (not even NEARLY) for anything that Isn't related to art#it's like. i really don't WANT to .... but senshi ...... makes me think about it.#senshi

if your ocs were bosses in a video game, what do you think their boss fight would be like?
#red rambles#im thinking about this with mine and curious what other people have thought up#sidebar: i have been thinking about things like 'mechamics' and 'the kinds of attacks they'd use' and 'phases' and 'gimmicks'#i havent detailed them all here because i figured it wouldn't be what other people wanted to read#unfortunately it seems also everyone else thinks this. i want to hear about your mechanics....#so i guess ill go add mine in#kit and kat would be a pair of optional bosses who you fight together - kit a dex build who moves into a strength+dex combo in her second#phase; she doesn't get a second health bar#but it gets dramatically harder to hit her and she stops getting stunned nearly as easily in the second phase#and her hits get much harder#KAT (her gimmick partner) also has a second phase#if you haven't killed Kit before you activate Kat's second phase#(Kat gets a second health bar) she teleports herself and Kit out of the boss fight arena and (as they're optional)#this technically means you can progress but you get no winnings#and the next time you come back they're there again#im imagining them like ds1r havel where he's just like in a shortcut. they're camping a door#anyway you have to fully kill Kit to#get to kill Kat#and her second phase will activate when Kit dies in that case#and she'll go from infrequent but hard-hitting long-distance attacks to frequent long-distance attacks with less intensity behind them#and a set of melee attacks that do a lot of damage but require her to grapple you so if you don't get grabbed you're alright#meanwhile rex (the other one i discussed on discord) is a mainline boss who keeps dying and then just showing up again but he dies like#his ass is DEAD he's not walking off he DIES. okay?#you have to kill him at least twice for the mainline quest and there's even more optional places you can kill him#the first three or four sequential fights (only one of which is mainline) he's human the whole time#the second mainline fight he changes forms and his second phase is in dragon form#and he doesn't get a second health bar or anything but he does get aoe fire attacks#and gets to visibly take damage at increasing levels before you kill him#he also has a mechanic where on his last dot of health he can absorb like 4x the normal amount of damage#so when he should be one hit away from death he is in fact four or five hits away from death

Di Angelo Siblings

Sooo, to absolutely no one's surprise the new Percy Jackson reboot kicked me into full-blown pjo brainrot mode again lol. I saw these super cute fits and some vintage photos of Venice alleyways floating around on Pinterest and was consumed with the need to draw the Di Angelo siblings in them (it's probably wildly "historically and geographically" inaccurate for them, but we're just going to have to deal with the fact that I'm dumb and uncultured xD It's the vibes™ that count, okay!)
Psst, wanna see something cringe😂? Found this old sketch of them from one of my first forays into digital art years ago:

And to quote past-me "I can barely look at the old one, but at least that means I improved, aye?"😂
#pjo#percy jackson#percy jackson and the olympians#pjo series#pjo show#shioris_art#fanart#digital art#pjo fanart#nico di angelo#bianca di angelo#di angelo siblings#well if there is one thing I certainly haven't improved on it's being able to make people actually look the ages they're supposed to be#they both still look a bit too old; they also look like they're judging your entire existance but that's probably fair for Hades' kids lol#proportions and colours are still a little off too; but hey this piece had a very complicated history ok xD??#ok so to go on a bit of a semi-personal rant (scroll away now if you don't wanna see woe-is-me-artist ramblings xD):#I've finally made a veeery old dream of mine come true and got myself a graphic tablet with a display 🥺 fancy glove and all XD#my ratty old wacom has served me well but it really makes such a difference to be able to see wtf you're doing when you move the pen xD#so this is my first piece to celebrate the occasion and oh my goodness...#digital art is hard 😭😭#I'm studying to become a textile designer I have used Photoshop extensively for almost the last 6 years#*slaps roof of my brain* this bad boy can fit so many shortcuts and encyclopedic knowledge of all its features in it#I know this godforsaken program inside out but goddamn it have I never felt so dumb before lmao#wow so shocking who knew that designing patterns and making fanart with like sketching and anatomy and shit would be completely different🤪?#but it really is so different I seriously felt so dumb and like I had to learn how to use photoshop completely from scratch again xD#I did all of my other digital works on my tiny ass phone (Ibis Paint my beloved♡) and Ive had years to kinda establish an ok workflow there#in a weird way having more tools and options at my disposal hindered my workflow so much more because I would get into analysis paralysis#over every brush stroke; every colour selection; brightness adjustion etc.#idk it's kinda weird I wonder if people can relate

i really like the look of pencil crayons over top of watercolour but ive yet to find a pencil crayon that's soft and and sticky and easy to press enough for me. pastels work but theyre also super messy........ dies
#i use a pencil lead thats oddly soft despite being hb so im used to pressing lightly#plus i started doing watercolours because colouring in with pencil crayons was toooo hard on my hands#i say im the laziest artist known to man because of my love for shortcuts and physical ease in materials#but technically its probably just indicative of the disabilities and health things im ignoring 👍#a while ago a professor described my sketchbook as like 'frustrated'. not in a bad way she thought it was an interesting quality i had#i wouldnt call it particularly frustrated tho. i think its just constantly trying to make art-making easier on me haaands LOL#really wet ink pens are nice on me which is why i looove inking so much fjksldjfkds#i barely gotta press at all! same with watercolour <3 someday i'll figure out other stuff toooooo

I'll take this as a sign that I need to write queer WOC and diverse characters in general even harder because you cannot fucking trust mainstream media
#the way they’re so thoroughly undoing all the progress of the last few years#its ofmd and deadendia and so many other queer shows with poc rep getting cancelled unceremoniously#its hearstopper getting shortcut despite being a huge sucess#its the queer and poc characters getting underwritten and easily discarded in wot and rings of power and so many others#im fucking tired man#mine

Gotta wean fallout 76 off the bug addiction gently, cutting it off cold turkey will just make the entire game crash and die
So every month or so it just gets a little taste of game breaking glitches
#fallout 76#no fr what is going on with the map lately#it wont show my way points at all#they show on my compass but not on the map#“show quest on map” shortcut also doesnt work#defaults to the top left on the map#at one point it showed only the camps and that was it#no other markers#i thought turned on a filter or something

reading the notes of that one post that reposts a tweet about books using modern online slang and being painful to read and while some people sound like they genuinely don't like it, some sound like they're just repeating what they heard others say. and some act like having a character say "cool" would give them an aneurysm, which makes me wonder about their age
#shrimp thoughts#i don't read tiktok literature and i suppose most of these complaints are booktok-related#(oh and tlt. people act like it's memes and tumblr lingo top to bottom but from what i've heard it is Not the case?)#but like. how to put it. i guess it Is obnoxious when writers awkwardly shove haha fun relatable online slang into their books but#if it makes sense? i'm afraid it might be the author & not necessarily the slang references themselves#because for example while cf (and by extension meggie and mo) get a wee bit too Inspired for the current me when they think about#how books have Souls and how the characters are Alive etcetc... it all depends on the execution because reading about a character who#actually reads books and watches movies and has thoughts and feelings about them instead of the author just using them as shortcuts to idk#create their Vibe? it sounds great and i once wanted to do something like that in a fic#like... if you only mention your protagonist being an ao3 user to make her hihi relatable to the tiktok user who will DIE and SCREAM and#SHIT without a 300k fic a day? yeah it's lame. but if you actually do something with that -- what fandom? what fics? why does she love it#so much? how does it tie into the plot and her relationships with other characters? that's writing!

coworkers: what about using ai to do xyz?
