#and it will break my streak

[always-a-slut-4-ghouls]

Duolingo will try and convince you that practicing for a few days when you feel like you can’t take a new lesson yet is a failure, that you aren’t doing as well as you could and “oh no! The ranking”

The owl lies. I have taken three near perfect practice lessons the last three days because I want to make sure I have the stuff I’ve learned seared into my brain better. If i don’t take a week or two for practicing old lessons I’m going to forget how to spell pharmacy in Norwegian and then I’ll fail a future one. You can’t expect me to just learn new words constantly without brushing up on old ones and NOT forget how to spell something or the word for something else, you dumb bitch. This is about me learning how to listen and read, not about how long I can stay in the sapphire league. The notifications about it are super annoying but I can’t shut them off or I’ll forget when I’ve spent the day doing something different than usual and my schedule is thrown off

Time to share more fun workflow stuff! I pitched this vendor idea after being tasked with doing his vendor animation set. I really wanted to lean into Amir being very engaged in a game and having his concentration broken once you got too close to him. Time to share more fun workflow stuff! I pitched this vendor idea after being tasked with doing his vendor animation set. I really wanted to lean into Amir being very engaged in a game and having his concentration broken once you got too close to him. I started with an animatic to pitch the idea, and this board ended up saving my ass when I was then too sick to make the trip in to the studio to do mocap. Thankfully, Tim was able to swoop in and save the day.

So here is storyboard vs the final animation!

Look I enjoy internalized-homophobia-Sanji as much as the next guy but what personally makes me feral (and I think is infinitely funnier) is a Sanji who is very comfortable in his own sexuality in terms of being attracted to men but is still Going Through It when he realizes he's attracted to Zoro bc it's ZORO

Like idk to me the idea of him being like "I can handle being into guys BUT NOT THAT ONE" is so hysterical to me

Bc really let's be honest prissy malewife babygirl Sanji would throw a FIT realizing he's in love with the stinky marimo who bathes so much less than he should and couldn't find his way back to the ship if it slapped him in the face with a neon sign

AND I EAT IT UP RRRAAAHHH I NEED MORE OF IT

I generally keep my writing on transmisogyny separate from this blog, but given that I’ve now seen the same Mutuals banned four our five times I think it’d be a good time to explain how this is a feature of transmisogynistic social murder itself. After everything has died down, after the ones leading the whisper network or the mob have satisfied themselves in causing enough damage to your life to feel you’ve learned your place, you begin to rebuild. You find new social circles, you recover what you can from old ones without risking exposure to the ones who participates in your own social murder, if you even now which. You try to create a new space for yourself, cultivate new support networks after the old ones were torched and cut ties with you, and you live in fear that it will all burn away again if anyone who participated in your social murder finds you. The unique thing on Tumblr is that while a lot of sites will passively enable social murder, Tumblr’s gone over the deep end. It’s common enough on most sites that auto moderation can be flooded with false reports (or even true reports that wouldn’t have happened without organized groups in places like Kiwi Farm), but on Tumblr you don’t get to know what it was or challenge it. The only cases I’ve seen of successfully challenging mass report campaigns and returning to original blogs took months, and only in the case of some of the most popular TME blogs.

In real life you fear meeting these people again because you know that they learned that social murder works, and now they’ve got experience. Here, every time tumblr refuses to step in or has their CEO harass outspoken victims, the same people perpetrating the abuse of shitty auto moderation learn that it works and is allowed because they won’t do anything, not only that but Tumblr moderation will go out of its way to scrub clean complaints of this and perpetually enforce the social murders that they allowed. Social Murder is a cyclical process meant to cultivate fear, despair, and obedience in the victim, and once it’s happened once you are marked as a target. What Tumblr has done is formalize that targeting and the fear that accompanies it by repeatedly banning the same people for being victims of social murder.

Getting a lot of "good times weak men, weak men create hard times" vibes from gleeful reactions to the assassination attempt.

If you've never lived in a society where political assassination was a normalized phenomenon within living memory, consider that this might be worse than you think it is. There is a not that distant section of Korean history that's quite tedious to try to pass an exam for because the killings just blend together. It wasn't a nice time.

It's plausible to me that another Trump presidency would be worse (for the well being of all US residents over the next 100 years) than setting an assassination precedent. Like... asspull number, 25% possible that another Trump presidency is worse? But I don't want to hear that argument from someone with no real familiarity with "killings just blend together" societies, and won't engage with how terrible and scary taking a step down that road is.

If you are a staunch Democrat, consider also that you do not want to support such a precedent when your political opponents are the gun havers and gun practicers. 48% of Republicans own a gun; 20% of Democrats do.

Trump broke so many norms that I definitely see the argument for why he's exceptional – but in order for a Trump assassination to be a one-off, it's not enough that you think he's an obvious exception. Everyone else has to think he's an exception.

It's difficult to let the genie out of the bottle a little bit.

The whumpee didn’t want to be treated as a pet, and they would try their best to fight back whenever the whumper got too close to them. Time slowly broke the whumpee down though, and as horrible as it made them feel, the whumpee would comply with the whumper some days, just to have more food or water for one night.
