I did the thing
1. I am TERRIBLE at watching shows/movies, but I really want to try Love of Kill. I heard it's yandere x yandere. I've been told to try a lot of different ones, though lol
2. My friend bought me some pusheen socks years ago. They make me smile
3. I do like smoothies lol
4. The same black top and pants every time. *body dysmorphia intensifies* i hate dressing up and don't really go out much anyway
5. Eggs a la suisse, but realistically I just make over easy and throw it on toast
6. Any small paper scrap will do, but I prefer digital
7. Black
8. Not anymore, but I used to collect rubber ducks. I still love them. They make me so happy(I want a sleeve tattoo of colored ones!)
9. The smell and sound of rain
10. Not sure how to answer that... color?
11. Glasses, the hipster looking ones lol
12. My best friend is super understanding, accepting, and just hilarious. She's such a great person.
13. Pen
14. Most places outside of home make me uncomfortable
15. Nooooo I'm bad with plants
16. I don't have it anymore, but I used to have a slipknot hoodie from 2009 to like 2015. I wore it so much that it had holes and finally had to toss it. I bought a similar one, but eh. I don't really even listen to slipknot anymore lol
17. Scum Villain shirt
18. I want to see some sort of big natural disaster but, like, in a safe pod thing. Is that possible? XD
19. Pikachu!
20. Trigonometry or algebra. Math and science are my jam! (I kinda sucked at calculus, not gonna lie xD)
21. Not a history person, but I prefer more stylized art in general. Super realistic stuff looks cool but isn't as fun to me. Also I guess that 2000s shoujo anime style is nice. Oh pixel art too! Idk i love so many different ones!
22. Iced!!
23. I would never do that to my gf xD
24. I'd give myself a C. I follow rules but also get anxious easily
25. Ah, the rubber duck one! but yes I have one tattoo. It's on my forearm and literally just says "Death Note" in Japanese. I dont have piercings but love them so much. Gauges! I want those.
26. I make stir fry a lot
27. No, i have bad luck with them falling off :(
28. I swim alright. I love swimming, but the body dysmorphia kinda ruins it haha (I want top surgery but will probably never do it)
29. We just had the plain blocks, not any of the themed ones
30. Lol!!! I mean, kinda. It's all black T shirts and jeans with the exception of like 2 sweaters. Good luck.
31. This one
32. Reeeeaaallllly dark blue. Like so dark it's almost black. ... I miss my black hair days
33. Head phones
34. This confused me, but I guess you don't really see them much anymore. It does make sense that some people may not know how to now. But yeah, I can.
35. As a kid, I had an arctic fox plushie. It looked nothing like Tails from sonic the hedgehog, but that's what I named it. I would spin its tail around so much to make them "fly" that it fell off twice.
36. Ooo, I love air hockey! I think I'm better at foosball though
37. I actually get anxious about it lol!
38. Does Kaito count? XD

a taemin-appreciating loveletter on XLOV going viral with “1&only” right now as a genderless concept group which i absolutely love! have you seen how incredible they are? at a first glance i could already feel that they can shake things up, make a difference and enter a new, exciting cultural trajectory. and that was just the first watch. it gets even better from there! XLOV just leaves you wanting more immediately: the outfits, the dance, the sets, the beat, and so many killing choreo parts it’s ridiculous. what - or who - led to this beautiful culmination of art, kpop history-wise? i think we all know.
i wish i could thank taemin and shinee every day as due to their pervasive influence, kpop (think hyunjin, jimin, chungha, kai, haechan and more mentioning taemin’s impact on them) is so ahead of the curve and a female or neutral gaze on things is pretty much established, breaking the mold is celebrated, both a rarity. a group like this, then, is long overdue. to me, someone as courageous as XLOV (as a group comprised of otherwise often conflicting nations on top of that, uniting japanese, chinese, korean and taiwanese members as a statement) is what we’ve been waiting for. XLOV says, why not, what’s stopping everyone else? utopia is possible! they simply came to drop jaws without any compromise and delivered.
XLOV doesn’t have a “shinee” signature nor do they need it (nor can shinee be truly, fully copied ever), nevertheless i see what inspired them to go all out. taemin has never tried to pander to an existing status quo, much less emulating a stereotype-laden ‘straight’ or ‘gay’ pre-made mainstream formula, which i think is astounding at his scale of impact, in this politically challenging age. i think that art directors showcase an increasing feel for it, and we can slowly create a safe space where idols can come out or break free from oppressive standards like XLOV, even against the escalating odds of korean society and whatever backlash is there. taemin shows: you can prevail.
he has always taken an androgynous, bi-friendly, fluid, whatever you want to call it aesthetic for granted. that’s how ‘idols from the future’ like seonghwa, g-dragon or felix are created and i love it - it proves how the radicalizing shift in masculine norms over the last decade is not a thing of absolutes (think about CL vice versa, who has always had a successful alpha woman concept) and encourages everyone to do their thing outright. so i was giddily happy to see ppl discussing and protecting XLOV everywhere with their amazing sensual visuals and THAT incredible choreo. it’s a must-watch for pride month and beyond if you love unisex as a concept in kpop.
#XLOV#1&only#taemin#shinee#kpop#jimin#bts#seonghwa#ateez#g-dragon#bigbang#felix#stray kids#kai#exo#haechan#nct#hyunjin#chungha#cl#2ne1#pride month#genderless#visual kei#androgynous#nonbinary#genderfluid#genderless fashion#music

250614 Taemin bbl live
I've dong long hair but i wanted to try a new style so i'm growing hair my hair is curly this n this part it gets curled when i sweat even after straightened cr.
I saw shagyehan you saw my unintended silly side :) cr.
It’s nice to call like this after a while right? You guys have been asking me when is my comeback.. I’ll try not to comeback too late About fanmeeting, I’ll look into it since booking venues is a little difficult but my birthday.. which will come in a month.. I’ll try to do something special. cr.
he also talks about how mics nowadays are really great Taemin then explain more about sound reflections and Difference and said him and the members had many meetings to discuss these technical aspects (sounds, in ears etc) Ah! Even everone has different in-ear preferences. talks about spatial sense from the voices in the in ear and outside the inear and one preference settings Oh did I talk too much of such uninteresting things? cr.
Taemin talks how the sounds on his in ears can differ (eg. He talks about when he perform and when he goes and greets fans during SHINee concert.. like the drum sound can sound loud on his in ears or that the beats can sound slightly slower etc. and those things can differ Depends on the situation hence he will need to set it during rehearsal, the setting is different every time. The staffs are awesome, the members who did the rehearsal are awesome too! more sensitive fans can sometimes feel like ‘oh why do the artists dance slightly faster?’ It’s because the beats in and out of our in ear are different (in-ear is slightly faster) so when there are lots of people up on stage (group alignment) or with the dancers, we mostly takes off our in-ears. The timing for the artists to wear back their inears are different too During the concert (swcvii), there are times when I told the staffs to raise the volume in my in-ear.. it’s because we have lots of tracks and let’s say.. during live band session.. if I point my fingers up, it means I want them to raise the drum sound control so I can match it Easier, if i touch my lips and point upwards it means Increase the my sound monitor sound control. The orignal sounddata is somewhat removed for the live band to fill in eg. For View, it isn’t 100% instrumental only, we’ll remove the drums~ the accompaniment~ the bass etc. cr.
I wasn’t being mad though but even I agree I looked sensitive (mad). I may have been sensitive as well.. since I focus only on the sound on my in ear, if i can’t hear it since the start.. a lot of problem may arises (if he goes out of beat it can lower his overall performance condition) And if I can’t hear well, I will use my throat a lot and it will hurt faster, we sing a lot of songs on our concert and so we need to control our voices (throat usage) so we use just enough and not over exert. gives a brief explanation how it differs than using his voice/throat on karaoke cr.
Taemin talks about the sound problem he had at shinee concert: i wasn't angry even though i looked so ;) oh the heart hit 1 mil~! cr.
You want me to talk about the company dinner? There are actually lots of time we had companies dinner after having been active for so long, completing album promotions, finishing our concerts etc., back then I felt ‘ah, how tiring, I just want to rest’, I didn’t know the importance of it but recently…. Together with the people who worked alongside us, the stories only we know.. the company dinner (after party) is actually the only setting we can talk about it together Like saying ‘the sessions are really great and it gives me strength, thankyou’ etc. (We can also discuss) the minor mistakes only we know etc. Talking about those are all so fun. There’s this sense of bonding. These after parties are all so meaningful cr.
He talks abt the after-party Taemin: i don't drink much usually as i'm the type who has hangovers i stayed there to the end like i left when ppl were starting to come to work cr.

I've been reading through the first six chapters over and over, wanted to say how interesting and enjoyable it is! The variations are probably hellish to write, but it makes everything feel alive. Not just MC options, but the fact that the cast takes a long time to appear unlike usually in interactive fiction and the big possibility of poly options and exploration. I'm not sure if I'm correct but so far it seems that romance is not the usual flirting, but intimacy like in any friendship/close relationship. Very excited to see what horrors await the MC, but also the bonds they can build along that.
So far the whole cast feel like full fledged people, with complex pasts and emotions. The differences of plot dynamics with them and the MC is great. Dante and the bond, Warden and the father. It makes me as the reader much more motivated to learn about the characters and I'm excited to see all their arcs.
As for the MC variations I need to express how freeing it is to have options for both mental and physical disability, plus all the trans options! I talk about a lot how we should have more stories where the characters just happen to have disabilities and not have them be the main point. I play an MC that has autism and ocd, is deaf and has lost both an arm and leg and uses a crutch. It's amazing that the plot acknowledges those things while also not holding them back. Plus the way that the other characters interact with the disabilities is great, both with the main cast, side characters and antagonists.
I think it's also a fun dynamic with someone like Dante (who is full of scars and has gone through much physical injury) to bond with someone who also has many scars and has lost limbs. While we haven't yet met most of the cast I love Dante's character a lot and hope the MC and him will one day, if only for a moment, get to experience domestic happiness despite all of the pain.
There's one question that came to mind when it comes to the romance system so far: do you need to choose all the actively crushing options and sexual acts atm or can it be more slow burn for the MC?
This just means so much to me I'm low-key getting emotional but it was really important for me while writing for it the main character to simply exist with those traits and that be apart of who they are but not everything they are!
And I want ppl to know and feel like those and or having those traits makes you just as desirable as anyone else. Which is personally why I steered away from those traits being tied solely to trauma.
It is always nice to hear from people who chose those functions, because I was not 100% certain how proper show autism, adhd, ocd, and I'm always always doing research about it and making sure it doesn't come off as insensitive and or just this blatant stereotype of people who actually face those things.
Now to your question, you can have a slow burn romance. Choosing to have a crush on Dante doesn't change or limit your interactions with him later on, you definitely to more scenes, but if you want it to be a slow burn and decide later on you like you you can. You don't even have to confess anything within the first book.
This is goes for all the ROs, because you'll get many moments to decide if you like them, if you want to date them, and even reject them and end relationships.
You could go through the entirety of TSTT without having anything romantic, that won't stop certain characters from liking you romantically thou.

plopping my tag block here and adding more bc of course i am but i remember seeing a tiktok where someone was like "cant believe i went thru all that pain watching those 5 seasons and all i got was a kiss at the end" WHAT. U PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING UNGRATEFUL !!!!!!! and also how can u talk as if it was always only about the romance. i had to get off the app after seeing that one bc i was getting too mad at a random person on the internet over a television show but like. it rlly put into place for me how many ppl are only watching it for the romance. and they go in having some sort of expectation of the way itll go and then it doesnt do that and is instead just a tragedy to watch for like 51 and a half episodes they get mad that it wasnt what they started watching the show for (romance). when again their love is shown very clearly though messily and unhealthily throughout the entire show. its what the whole goddamn show is about. if u watch them kiss once at the end and go "thats it?" u missed the fucking point u missed the entire show what were u even watching for. AGAIN it just makes me so sad how much complexity in these characters is lost by ppl just not having the ability to dig deeper and look closer at them and view the story outside the box of what they expect from it and want to see from it.
plussss i feel like this show was on the tail end of like ppl still being shocked abt getting queer rep in shows? like this is one of the last shows i remember at least personally being truly not sure whether we were going to get an on screen kiss or not. it was obviously something nd "all my characters are queer unless stated otherwise" stevenson wanted to do but i just wasnt sure if it was going to be a reality until it happened. in the last bunch of years i see a lot more ppl being ungrateful for the rep that came before the more recent ones, and thats seen in the aforementioned tiktok of "a kiss? thats it?" i rlly think its super important to appreciate the way these two were written to show their deep undeniable love for each other even if they hadnt gotten an on screen kiss. they were written in a way that we all knew what the intention was (except that one guy who wrote an article in s1 abt how its gross to ship them bc they were raised together and thats like incest or smth and then deleted the article when s5 dropped) and the kiss was just a cherry on top to what we already knew and understood and everything that was already solidified in the show for anyone who has any ounce of media literacy. their love is just so much more than that kiss scene idk. i wish their characters and their writing got the credit it deserves. ok i think im done fr now
so annoying how people ignore that adora’s “protectiveness” is not just a sweet quality and that she has like, a martyr complex because of abuse. like that is literally part of her character arc, learning to let herself be taken care of and to stop throwing herself on the chopping block.
same with people seeing catra as someone adora protects through a solely shipping dynamic lense or this damsel in distress almost and portraying it as this romantic thing (usually to make them fall into an opposites masculine and feminine dichotomy (not that masc and fem couples are bad but this misses the point) when catra actively hates it. the climax in their relationship is catra as the protector, adora’s knight in shining armor (paralleling utena) for a reason.

last night i got home kind of tipsy and very much in tears and my mother told me the force you exert to keep someone in your life is proportional to the force with which they will leave your life. if you have to fight tooth and claw to keep them, their leaving will be just as hard, just as harsh, and just as definite.
#she said it like a law. its just momentum.#also she told me to get a therapist and start archery ASAP bc i need to get it together#and also she said even granting that this person u were in love w was So Special . as in hot motorcycle-riding iranian masc lesbian in ldn#they arent the only one on earth and that once i start my proper adult life outside of studies etc etc i will probably no longer live in th#UK. she said most non straight iranians u would like have left the country anyway . where do you think they went? theyre out there#and also she asked me to imagine how many hot gay iranians there may be in italy or amsterdam or smth and i was like ok points 😭 maybe#ur right. anyway i was having a feeling of dread bc crying into the arms of ur strict asian mother while buzzed usually results in#death chaos destruction etc in the next few days but actually i think maybe she has genuinely changed as a person and the fear is#unwarranted#anyway i need to eat breakfast and study w the date person i met yesterday#they are so nice ??? genuinely so so sweet i dont feel attracted to them at all omg i genuinely think i have a thing for hot evil ppl 😭#but we could b besties . theyre a lot more romantic than the ex situationship person too like generally . ugh they should be perfect but#alas it appears i am shallow as fuck or potentially a lesbian actually#OH THEY MIGHT ALSO BE POTENTIALLY A LESBIAN BTW#i think i just tend to not date cis ppl entirely by accident#....feel free to rb if u want btw sorry for the rant

adam scott says in the "inside the episode" of 2.07 that it allows the audience to "see the magic of gemma and why she immediately took over [mark's] life and his heart" and dichen lachman describes the ep in the severance podcast as "the audience getting to know [gemma] and everyone seeing what mark had that he lost." well, what about gemma? how much do we really get to know her? what did she lose? why did mark take over her heart?
they had 50 minutes for a Gemma Episode and they spent half of it on dead wife tropes and her smiling at mark with come-hither eyes while not giving us a single new fact* about her or a relationship outside of mark and mark's family. a subversion of the dead wife trope is not just scenes later showing they had an imperfect marriage bc mark (or nobody) is the problem in all of those scenes; you need to disrupt the idea that she was the perfect wife, and i don't think we get that. so much of it is explicitly presented through mark's pov. she doesn't hurt him at any point. she's just there being lovely or victimized as he loves or neglects her. everything we learned about her past gives more depth to his current grief but contributes little to our understanding of her current suffering or motivations. that could change with time, but for a first try, i think it's an abysmally bad showing
* that wasn't in mark's 1.07 monologue, his conversations with devon and alexa, or the the you you are pdf, all of which i think did a better job than this episode
#very okay to reblog obviously#i don't know how to express this in the body of the post but all the 'omg... we finally learned that gemma is a person' posting i'm seeing#rlly rubs me the wrong way both bc we didn't learn a new fact about her this ep and also bc well i already knew she was a person#they talked about her. i saw photos. i imagined her. i saw ms casey be a person. at no point did i think she WASN'T a person#and i think it's just bc ms casey is Strange and Offputting and in the podcast stiller describes lachman's performance as 'otherworldly'#and it feels. a little. racist. that that was the angle and how the audience took it. but that one might just be me#like you're all so impressed over nothing over no effort or skill! ANYWAY#mark may be the main char but so many chars have their own shit going on (ex: s1 irving one of severance's great successes)#why can't gemma. or at least can she have A Personality that isn't mark's wife or lumon's torturee#gemmas important to mark but he also has stuff w petey. w helly. w devon. w wanting to unite the severed floor. w etc. what does gemma have#also ppl saying mark is also her dead wife. how. explain it to me. what do you mean. that he motivates her actions?#the issue w the dead wife trope isn't that she motivates the man's actions it's about the agencyless female char. mark is not agencyless#sick and tired!!!!!! i can't believe the cw's supernatural did a better job than severance on giving depth to their opening fridged woman#severance#severance spoilers

Noticing that TV and film will often have a character either have had an abortion in the past that isn't showcased on screen (and just used as part of the character's ~fucked up and twisted backstory~) OR contemplate getting an abortion in the present day but not to through with it. Just once I want to see someone delete that fetus within the events of the plot and not be like. Extremely majorly punished for it and/or be in the wrong
#ramblings of a lunatic#was watching a tv show w the fam recently and it's the 2nd series of a show that was clearly written with only 1 in mind#so in the 2nd season a character gets pregnant (bc ofc) and contemplates getting an abortion#only to do the whole 'omg she thinks she's lost the baby and realizes she wanted to keep it all along!'#which like. fine and valid and happens to ppl irl I'm sure#but like. this season doesn't establish if she wanted kids prior or if she has a stable job (she was struggling career wise-#-last season and the timeskip this season doesn't go into it)#AND has this fucking bizarre scene w/ her boyfriend (whos mostly been irrelevant and occasionally annoying up til now)#where he says it's 'our pregnancy' that she was going to terminate and when she (rightfully) bites back-#-saying 'you mean MY pregnancy?!' he just. storms off and deflects#which would be one thing but we have to wrap up the main plot so she just apologizes to him (for other plot stuff)#and we're never given any indication that his opinion has changed and they're just happily parenting at the end of the season#which just. left a bad taste in my mouth#like I KNOW i know not every bad thing said on screen needs a big blinking arrow that points out that it's Bad and Wrong#but idk how I'm supposed to feel in a series that has painted itself as explicitly feminist up til this point#presents the outcome of a woman dating and bearing a child for a man w seemingly zero respect for her bodily autonomy as happily ever after#w no follow up#like the whole series is centered on a group of sisters and this pregnancy story happened to the youngest one#who's always seen as needing to 'grow up' in season 1. so assuming this is meant to be building off that arc it's so WEIRD still#bc yes being a parent is an opportunity for many ppl to mature emotionally but that's not really something the character-#-reflects on all season. it's more abt her burying her past relationship w a season 1 guy (who was infinitely more interesting than new guy)#-than anything to do with that#AND EVEN IF IT WAS the notion of pregnancy as a punishment/reckoning meant to make her grow up or take responsibility-#-which is secretly a blessing in disguise i. god the show fell apart so hard here for me#and my mom and sister were just cooing over the baby at the end and i didn't speak up bc i didn't want to be a bitch#and in all fairness I'm probably being a tad uncharitable in this post but like. don't piss me OFF man#anyway. normalise abortion storylines that aren't backstory fodder and aren't fakeouts for baby plots. please

im known for being THE bec light fan of the fandom, so i feel like im in the right place to say this: YOU DO NOT OWN FANDOM CHARACTERS AND CANNOT PREVENT OTHER PEOPLE FROM LIKING THEM JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO, and if that makes you uncomfortable (which is fine, and for any reason), THE THING TO DO IS BLOCK NOT HARASS THEM!!!!!!! ive seen too many ppl in this fandom disrespect others over DARING to say, even as a joke, that they're the number one fan of X character. If someone having the same favorite group of pixels as you genuinely angers you, to the point of feeling the need to insult them and having concerning thoughts about them, then maybe it is time to log off
#not referring to anything recent#as i THANKFULLY havent seen it happen in a lil bit!!!#however it has happenned many times in the past and in those moments i was so thankful to have my fav be a rando no one is attached to LMAO#everyday im mortified at the thought that there COULD be other bec fans outthere that are scared of exclaiming their love for the character#-publically out of fear i'd attack or get mad at them for trying to “steal” my fav or some bs like that. this will NOT HAPPEN PLS GIVE BEC#-THE LOVE THEY DESERVE the more bec enjoyers we are the better :(#btw; this is NOT about non-sharing yumeshippers!! (important)#this is about people (most often not yumes at all smhow!) thatll go out of their way to ATTACK other members of a fandom for sharing a fav#“this is MY favorite character so it cant be anyone else's and if you claim it is i will insult you and humiliate you in front of others”we#-learned to share unimportant stuff in preschool? you're not even a yume so its even LESS justified to react like that over a char#even more stupid when its a main characters 99% of the fandom likes like. what do you think will happen browsing fandom spaces.#if you feel the need to throw all of eve's bitch-ionary at someone over having the same taste please get some offline rest and remember#THE BLOCK BUTTON EXISTS FOR THIS REASON???#if its harmless and you dont like it! block! block block block! throwing a fit like a 7yo reincarnation of eric cartman in the candy aisle-#-won't make you more legitimate in the title of the “biggest fan of X guy”. i promise you blocking people that make you personally-#-uncomfortable(without necessarily doing anything wrong)without insulting their bloodline is absolutely amazing. you should try it.#not bec light#ouhh me speaks#this sure is a lot of words#ik the fandom is full of mentally unstable ppl that rely on their favs for moral support; this however doesn't grant you the right to lack#respect towards strangers. I love bec and finn with all my heart and unless youre some kind of h*tler 2.0 i could not care less about if#they also bring you comfort! and if one day for any reason it starts bothering me; i would just start blocking/muting the people who post#about them! as simple as that. :( your fav/yume would NOT want you to be rude to the people who like them; so just IGNORE#it makes me sad for people who have a certain character as their fav/ F/O cuz ive seen them disputed a lot n theyre not even a main5 HELPPP#; as comma#OK IM DONE YAPPING i have school tomorrow hashtag goonight

did my first ever used car browsing online and there's a car that's like really good on basically every aspect but the color is fucking NASTY. but ive been evolving a bit around it. and so now im like thinking "okay the bit's funny now but would it be funny in like seven years" kinda stuff
#like imagining my friends laughing (with me) at my car shouldn't factor into the buying process but it's sinking in anyway#we live in an area with really high auto crime rates right#so it being ugly and super visible would actually help with total theft at least. not sure about breaking my windows though#like i would be less likely to get hit at night bc of visibility but it's so nasty and indiscreet#what if i go on a date and they see the nightmare car and are like yk what nevermind#i'm gonna have to make eye contact with my coworkers after parking that there every day#and im gonna try to use it for as long as possible bc that's the goal anyway and also bc i know that shit is NOT reselling for ANYTHING#but its stats are so good i'd feel bad calling it a beater car...#anyway the most interesting choices are that and a really cute car with similarly good stats but#it's low vis and more expensive (but it's newer and diesel etc so like.. idk?)#it's a beetle... i'd love to cause violence via punchbug!!! also a conversation piece and not one that i have to like#put an eyes.train warning for!! yk!!! black beetle was made for me but at what cost#there's also other cars that are normal but those two are so memorable and almost feel like opposites#even though their stats actually overlap a good amount (like their mpg is the same i think)#if i have this car for the next 8+ years (the goal. the dream) then i better like it right#i want it to be durable and safe and cute and cost efficient#technically they're both all those things except the ugly car is ugly. but it IS funny in a way the beetle isnt!!#which is kind of like being cute#im so relieved to have a couple of car guys in my family bc idk shit about cars tbh#and i really thought i wouldn't care about what my car looked like but unfortunately i kind of do is what im realizing#and also i thought i didn't really have a dream car but i kind of do.. and it's a black beetle...#they're so cute to me... and it's small so parallel parking will be easier... and it's not like i'd drive many people around....#but its storage is bad and it's a convertible and idc about that but im probably paying more bc of it since other ppl care#ugh idk...#anyway#i mean. it would be nice to like my car... esp if i plan on using it for so long.... and a car that i won't get sick of....#but the beetle might not work well for transporting junk if i get into sculpture like i keep threatening to#and i feel like it might do badly in a wreck bc it's so tiny#ah idk...#update gonna have to say no to the beetle apparently that year's extra unreliable and they're already not the best cars

I really do not blame students for using AI within a capitalist education system that prioritizes efficiency, productivity, and short term memorization of profitable skills over genuine critical engagement. some skills are obviously crucial (i.e., writing for building critical thinking) but can and are still being built with minor adjustments like proctoring. the research shows cheating rates have not changed and have remained high since AI has become available. with the students that do cheat, it's due to deeper systemic issues. many high school and college students are working multiple jobs, caretaking for family members, have health issues, etc. and they will use whatever is available to give themselves some relief.
I get complaining about AI in passing. like I love to hate on it. but most people aren't really offering real ways to protest it other than just telling individuals they are evil for using it... which in any other area of politics we would think flawed and inadequate (re veganism, eco friendly lifestyle changes, etc).
sooo many AI-critical takes are liberal/idealist/individualist and not materialist. once again, we see individuals blamed for the profit-maximizing decisions of corporations (who are the ones responsible for the most harmful aspects of Al). instead of viewing the problems of AI as a symptom of structural issues requiring collective action, they would rather frame it as a personal character flaw of workers and students. and this individualizing of political issues closes off potential for a deeper critique, coalition building, and more opportunities for action. it's a way to both feel superior to other people and subscribe to inaction.
AI does not defy the capitalist historical pattern of labor-saving technology creation, monopolization, dependency enforcement, and exploitation. new technology increases productivity/profit expectations. these increased productivity expectations translate into pedagogy that also expects increased productivity. medical schools actively encourage regular AI use because they know doctors will now be expected to be faster and see more patients because of it - despite the fact most AI tools are not accurate enough to trust for medical information. however, this does not matter in the real capitalist world. what matters is how many patients you can see and how much money you can make for the shareholders and insurance companies.
just like all new labor-saving technology, AI decreases the bargaining power of workers and heightens capitalist contradictions: if you cant stay competitive and keep up with the pace as a worker you risk your job and livelihood.
I am not advocating for doctors, students, and other workers to continue uncritically using AI, but to understand their part in the class war and act accordingly. under capitalism, all productivity gains from new technology will always go straight to the company owners, who would rather expect double/triple the productivity of workers rather than give the time saved back to workers or god forbid give the workers ownership over the new technology.
AI will not save us from capitalism - capitalism develops the productive forces for its replacement. we must radically organize and self-educate. activism isn't about being perfect but doing the best you can consistently without burning yourself out and this will look different for everyone.
#reminds me of liberal arguments for veganism#peoples behavior is not going to change unless their material conditions change#when peoples basic needs are not met most are only going to be concerned with their own survival#we should have high moral standards for one another but need to broaden our analysis if we want real lasting change#both militant vegans and anti-AI-ers instead will condemn ppl as irredeemably evil for using xyz capitalism death machine#individual responsibility can only go so far with highly interdependent societies#like im vegan but would never expect everyone to go vegan without significant material/cultural support#does everyone have the moral obligation to be vegan? sure.#but most people need significant support to get there and needing support isnt a bad thing re disability studies#i know im just rehashing the annoying no ethical consumption under capitalism argument but not really:#ppl should be encouraged to do as much as possible and practical while also recognizing capitalism makes evil unavoidable to a degree#we can and should work on both individual and collective action#and what complicates all of this is that some AI tools for like detecting cancers have been shown to be more accurate than human doctors#so it has the potential to save many lives but not if its owned and rationed by corporations

i wrote this as a joke because I wanted to strangle a guy watching tiktoks without headphones on the bus, but im genuinely disturbed that we've gotten to a point where convenience comes first. and it depresses me even more that its used to justify and monetize greed
#like we have so many ways of doing things that could help us in the long run but because we're told it requires more work we just cant#its too resource intensive. or maybe its too much to maintain. we have to overlook benefits so money can go into more important things#we teach each other to do things a certain way so it works for everyone but who was it convenient for first? what abt who it might hurt?#i have to wonder if the rules our current system uses is worth listening to or following if it doesnt have our best interests in mind. u an#me and the ppl around us.. would we be better off if i ate my meals knowing the person who grew it wanted to feed others the way they could#feed themselves? and that isnt to say we're going to be happy doing it but i guess satisfied that its helping someone instead of quietly#accepting that itll eventually go in the dumpster behind a grocery store because it stopped looking appetizing or it wasnt on sale anymore#what about building homes so we can shelter each other? what if we were satisfied with what we did because we knew it would be paid back#with kindness? isnt that what we evolved to do?? heal each others bones and tell stories and help each other??#why dont houses come with solar panels or generators unless we find a way to make people pay to use the sun? why is our pooled money used#to fund genocides instead of education and hospitals? whose interests and convenience came first when we started this??#i wont pretend to know the answer because i dont. but we all know we're miserable and im sorry to say that i cant see myself fighting#for a world that wont fight for me too. why do we work if we cant live from it?? why did they stop us from plucking more teeth from our#bosses until they could build more walls around themselves and then go back to underpaying us??#im so tired. i cant even imagine making it to age 70#yapping#vent

Man things have been depressing in my personal life lately
Idk why I had to fall for the most fucked over by the narrative characters ever that I’m completely unable to take comfort in when I need a form of escapism the most
#thinking about viren and allura and lotor rn#I have actually not seen any full fledged analyses anywhere on what went wrong with lotor’s story and that’s so unfortunate#it’s like this thing we’ve all passively agreed on didn’t go well but no one is willing to investigate why or how#and allura’s story is just so sad I don’t even think I need to elaborate more#would say aaravos but I’m actually quite pleased with the direction they’ve gone in with him#but I suppose I still have some salty feelings related to viravos that I haven’t felt comfortable vocalizing yet#but maybe later idk#sometimes I do actually feel like I’ve rationalized viren’s arc enough to actually start to understand and like it#only to have to see the way people respond to it in the fandom again and it sorta makes me lose all the respect I just gained for the show#I defend the show in so many ways and it is legitimately my most favorite series ever#but I just wish the things I’ve been complaining about (e.g. viren’s implied depression) would get addressed by the creators#at least I wish the fandom would be willing to have conversations about these things but they’re not cuz it’s considered commentary#and ppl in this fandom really don’t want to engage in that even when it’s not an inherently bad thing and does not need to end with the#conclusion that because of this critiques the show is bad cuz it’s not and that’s absolutely not the reason ppl present those points#so please stop trying to vilify them for just trying to start a discussion and hoping that the show they love can in some ways improve#regardless of if it’s already good as is#like it’s crazy cuz you have the subreddit and insta where just no one has any respect for the story whatsoever with no justification#and then on tumblr it’s like we have the opposite and it’s a toxic positivity problem lol#all the viren and virrow and viravos fans left#and I’m seeing more and more why that might be#it’s like not only being even remotely critical of the show is a problem but also liking the things about it that the fandom nor the show#itself does is also a problem for some reason

You know what irks me the most about the mha ending. (Sorry I'm still on it.)
Like the early parts of the manga, there were so many grown up hero AUs in fandom (like storylines that took place when they're adults and heroes) and they're fun! A little silly!
And then we had the war arc and cities are being destroyed and everything's torn up and for over a hundred chapters, it's been oh huh I guess every AU like that will just be canon divergence lmao
And then Horikoshi basically wipes the slate clean so I guess all those AUs could technically canon compliant. There's not even much in the way of lasting physical damage! Because it's dealt with???? Immediately???? Within months?????
Which is fine! Nothing wrong with it! The AUs are fun! But, it just irks me that you could throw out half the manga because it didn't matter. Nothing majorly changed. Silly adult hero AUs for everyone I guess because the League may as well have been 2 bit villains for all the effect they had at large was. Idk. Maybe I'm bitter? Maybe my brain still trying to process the ending and the change in how AUs relate to canon? I guess - what was all the constant sprinkling in of "society has let people down" that we see from chapter 1? It meant nothing? I guess????? I mean A WAR HAPPENED. But whatever I guess heehee wasn't that soooooo silly???? That people's take on early story can be the same as post story?????
#the bee talks#bnha manga spoilers#bnha#*nothing's new nothing's new noooothing's new“ plays on repeat in my head#im NOT fucking tagging it as critical. i dont think im being overall critical about mha. maybe i will to help ppl curate fandom space#i guess itd be more like wank than actual criticism.#anyway theres a great denki/shinsou/monoma tiktok adult hero au story- its kind of brilliant. love that.#(literally story it has so many arcs so many interesting villain/vigilante ocs its so so good)#but... i mean it was cosplay so it took a while. and in all that time it just??? could still technically be canon??#idk it just..... something in me just.... chafes about this#and its arguably such a stupid thing to get hung up on (i think my brain's just having a hard time with that mental switch). sorry.#we need a different tag thats mha wank or mha negative or something bc its more that than any critical.#why did horikoshi spend 10 years on this story??????#why give time and thought to the villains????? why did he do all this????#he couldve just explored uraraka's than “heroic” reasons for getting into ua if he didnt want his villains to change anything.#like just focus on the hero students or something. idk idk idk... fuck it:#bnha critical
