honestly thinking abt "i got mom'd" again in light of recent discoveries....imagine spending ur whole life trying to be a daughter who is a son who is trying to become her father so that maybe he'll be proud of her who like. so desperately does not want to turn into her mother. and then ur dad dies and ur no longer a daughter, and ur husband betrays u so ur no longer a wife, and ur brothers begin to close ranks so ur no longer a sister....shiv literally gets mom'd in this episode. all the other threads are being cut and the only one left is a growing umbilical cord

<Type Atlas Unit 03 KAI (改) >

The KAI series will focus on modifying details with enhancing pieces usage. Compared to all the original, the KAI series will also be focusing on reconceptualizing them into specific roles in battle. The series will not cover all the units due to lack of pieces in specific colours.

Take Unit 03 as an example here, adding striking blues to make it look more vibrant. Changing shoulder and leg designs to reduce the bulkiness and increase the dynamics. Shoulder armours are modified with new movable shield with interchangeable attaching designs for weapons. Added in missile launch box at the back pack to increase the variety of arsenal choice.

Concept wise, completed removed close combat weapon like sword, instead, I reconceptualize this unit as a specialization for long range attack with riles, pistols, and missile along with enhanced defensive mechanism with over sized shoulder shield.

The presentation of post may vary thought out the series as I am playing around with some new equipments.

I am also disappointed in the book because of its sole POV from Wednesday. I was really hoping we’d get more insight not only into her thoughts, but into others’ as well. I was hoping for more background lore.

I wasn't expecting a GRRM or Tolkein amount of lore or writing level, but I was hoping for so much more than what we got.

This book was such a disappointment for anyone who wanted more than just finding any scrape of proof to twist into evidence of a ship. It even fails at that because once again, nothing explicit is ever stated, no matter how much they try to bully you into declaring any ship as canon.

This novel cannot stand on its own. Its lack of detail and simplistic narration makes it so that you can only really get the full concept of the story IF you had watched the TV show first. The characters are so bare and hollow.

If you are a fan of Yoko, Divina, Kent, or Bianca, you will also be disappointed. There’s barely anything there with them. They’re almost extras with how little time and consideration they’re given.  

The book glazes over key points or reconceptualizes certain scenes by dropping or changing dialogue. I think it did a disservice to all of the characters.

It wasn’t worth the money as it serves as a poor reference for the series since it has so many mistakes and has poor creative choices that are in direct conflict with what we see in the TV show.

"This is no place for you," says the unicorn. Her shovel glints in the moonlight, inches from your throat. "Dead things ought to stay dead."

redraw of one from 2022

i think reconceptualizing the angle was the right choice here, because its now shifted from "oh im just a wee unicorn and this scary dirty lizard just popped out of the earth like a groundhog, whatever shall i do" to "cmooon im a lil guy, im a lil guy and its my birthday, youre gonna kill me with a shovel when its my birthday? cmooon" which is much more accurate to the scene

man i am willing to draw just about ANYTHING to put off this pomona comic. its still coming. do you think ill get it out there before art fight? who knows

CFP: Gaming Fandom

The study and analysis of creative fan production (e.g., fanfiction, fanart, cosplay, etc.) is a cornerstone of fandom studies. These practices enable fans to assert a level of authorship over their favorite media – to reimagine, recontextualize, and reconceptualize their canons to better reflect their desires, wants, interests, and demands. They provide voice to individuals who cannot necessarily shape source texts directly (Vinney & Dill-Shackleford, 2018), allowing fans to carve out space for themselves within the pop-culture landscape that celebrates/embraces their identities. This is particularly poignant for marginalized fans. As such, we can understand fan practices as unique and invaluable forms of cultural critique (Jenkins, 2006; McCullough, 2020). 

This active engagement – arguably – is magnified within gaming fandoms and communities because the act of play is inherent to the source texts, whether that play comes in the form of hitting keys on a keyboard, moving joysticks on controllers, rolling dice, etc. Gaming seemingly provides fans an inherent sense of authorship over source texts as the players’ actions, choices, and skill shape the outcomes and narrative progression; thus, gaming fandom presents a strong opportunity to explore the idea of fan creativity as cultural critique and our understanding of authorship, ownership, and identity across the pop-cultural landscape. This strength is only increased by the critical reality of many gaming communities and spaces; criticism leveraged at games, gamers, and gaming communities is commonplace with topics like the lack of representation, the focus on hegemonic masculinity that often takes a turn towards toxicity, and the vitriol directed towards gender and sexual orientation politics being frequent points of discussion both by scholars/researchers, by journalists and reviewers, and by those within these communities. Of course, not all gaming criticism focuses on the cultural and political; some emphasize mechanical, financial, and performance issues.

 This special issue of Transformative Works and Cultures will explore fan creativity as critique in gaming fandoms; while we are construing the term ‘gaming fandom’ broadly, we are primarily interested in analyses and scholarly discussions of and related to fan-made works and productions, including fanfiction, fanart, cosplay, mods, fan-made games and series, etc. We welcome all forms from methodology – quantitative and qualitative, empirical and theoretical, etc. Possible topics include (but are not limited to):

Exploration of how fan-made works address and critique gender norms and sexual identities within gaming communities.

Exploration of fanfiction as a means of reclaiming and reshaping game lore and canon.

Analysis of LGBTQ+ representation and narratives in gaming fanfiction and fanart.

Case studies of specific mods (i.e., modifications) that have sparked significant discussion or controversy.

Investigation into how cosplay challenges or reinforces cultural stereotypes and representations.

The role of cosplay in expressing identity and critiquing game character design.

Study of fan-created games that offer alternative perspectives or critique the original game.

Exploration of intersectional critiques in fan-made content.

Investigation into how the act of play influences and enhances fan creativity and critique.

Study of how fan productions are received by broader gaming communities and the original creators.

The impact of fan critique and creativity on game development and industry response.

Examination of the ethical considerations and legal challenges in creating and sharing fan-made works.

Discussion of intellectual property and the boundaries of fan authorship.

Study of how digital platforms (e.g., YouTube, Twitch, Discord) facilitate and shape fan creativity and critique.

The role of social media in disseminating and discussing fan-made works.

Comparative analysis of fan creativity and critique across different gaming franchises or genres.

Examination of regional differences in fan production and cultural critique.

7, 26 for Switzerland, 33, 45?

#7: Food-related headcanon?

America doesn't chew when he eats.

Last night I read @sunnylolli's The Great American Stomachache, and their narration just GAWD DAMN. I think its an interesting take on Alfred's eating eating habits (read it- its amazing).

The first one doesn't really relate to imperialism (its more on the negative impact of capitalism on things like food which require a socialist, regulative approach). Though, it reminds me of AO3 chrysanthemumthrone's A Dying Sun (Chapter 4), and @robinrocks01 Align (Ch 2). These two fics reconceptualize imperialistic greed through hunger. The basic point is: eventually an expanded nation (an empire) doesn't experience pleasure tasting food (maybe cuz their appetites' too large to satisfy if they're chewing), beyond the simple dopamine effect of consumption. It's interesting.

#26: Switzerland's nightcap of choice?

Espresso martini, "Rest is for the weak and the dead."

#33: Who organizes the best parties?

Absolutely depends on when lol.

Gilded age: England. wacking open champagne bottles with rapiers- sort of business.

Now? I like to imagine a big ol retreat into nature where everyone can go berserk for a weekend. So, like, idk, New Zealand? South Africa? Undecided as you can tell haha

#45: Most iconic canon line?

"Any issues?"

"[Insert valid issue]"

"Heard and overruled!" :D

[lichfucker]

also everyone was extremely receptive to my switching us from 5e to savage worlds! I explained how 5e is. not sustainable long-term and that if this campaign is going to have any longevity I need to get off this sinking ship lmao. and that with what I know about them and how they all like to play, and what parts of the game get them the most excited, they will enjoy swade FAR more than 5e.

I told them that we're not gonna switch until the end of this story arc— I don't wanna interrupt shit mid-stream— but zac is so excited abt it that she and I are gonna make hyssop's new character sheet as soon as I get home tonight lmao.

hazel is probably gonna retire sassy and make a new character altogether, one who is more invested in the adventuring life and has more clear external goals. eva didn't say she would drop morada, but given how she has said multiple times that she made a bad choice in playing a standoffish loner type because she didn't know what she was doing, I expect that by the time we actually make the switch, she will likely either completely reconceptualize morada or play someone else entirely

Passage 72

When people become overly bold, then disaster will soon arrive.

Do not meddle with people’s livelihood; by respecting them, they will in turn respect you.

Therefore, the Master knows herself but is not arrogant. She loves herself but also loves others. This is how she is able to make appropriate choices.

The last stanza of this passage captures one of the concepts in Taoism that I like best. That is, not just the concept of humility, but a concept of humility that, unlike Puritanical versions of it, isn’t based on self-reproach, self-loathing, or self-criticism. I am often frustrated with people who take that approach to humility, because it’s just another form of self-obsession. Obsessing about how inadequate you are, you’re still focused on yourself and not focused on other people. You can know yourself, acknowledge yourself, and love yourself. The idea is not to not love yourself. That’s not humility. Humility is loving other people just as much and holding yourself in equal esteem to other people.

Self love and humility are not mutually exclusive.

This, when you follow the thread far enough, is the source of what I like to think of as the Tao of Bliss. Because if you strive to hold all of creation in equal esteem, the natural conclusion is that all of creation becomes beloved to you. Think of your favorite place on earth, your favorite food, the best thing you ever smelled, or a song you can’t help singing along to. Taoism says you should love yourself just as much as you love those things. The things that trouble you, you should love them, too.

It’s not easy – not even a little bit. I continually struggle to reframe my unpleasant experiences to this ideal, but at the end of the day, it is deeply rewarding. It’s not about finding a silver lining in bad experiences either, but about reconceptualizing the entire way you perceive them. For those things that were deeply painful, those things that still cause us pain, it can feel almost impossible. I find that, when I’m unable to bring myself to say, “I’m glad that happened,” I can at the very least say to myself, “That event was a part of my life, and I am deeply grateful for my life.”

When it comes to others, it essentially comes down to empathy. That’s why mentioning someone’s livelihood is so important to this passage: reminding us that our actions can affect other people in existential ways, that we should continually consider the broader impacts of our decisions and put ourselves in the shoes of those we’re impacting. Is this impact something I would want for myself? For a loved one? If we aspire to value everyone equally, we shouldn’t take actions against them that we wouldn’t take against our most beloved friends.

Human Morality is a Spectrum of Aestheticism

Human morality is often discussed in terms of rigid frameworks and absolute principles, yet a more nuanced understanding reveals that it functions as a spectrum—an array of beliefs, values, and aesthetic judgments that shape our ethical landscape. This essay explores the idea that morality is not a strict set of rules but rather an aesthetic experience deeply rooted in cultural expressions, individual perceptions, and emotional resonances. The concept of aestheticism as it pertains to morality suggests that ethical decisions are inherently tied to our appreciation for beauty, harmony, and emotional resonance in both ourselves and the world around us.

At its core, the idea that morality is a spectrum of aestheticism suggests that human beings are not merely rational agents making calculated decisions based on a fixed ethical code; instead, we are emotional and sensory beings who navigate complex moral dilemmas through our aesthetic responses. Aestheticism, often associated with the celebration of beauty and sensory experiences, can be reconceptualized within an ethical context. Our moral decisions, much like our aesthetic judgments, are informed by our passions, feelings, and subjective experiences. We might find ourselves compelled to act in a certain way not solely because of rational arguments but due to an emotional reaction—a sense of beauty in an act of kindness, or ugliness in an unjust deed.

This spectrum of morality can be illustrated through various philosophical frameworks. The ethical theories of consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics, while distinct, can be viewed as reflections of aesthetic sensibilities. Consequentialism, with its emphasis on outcomes, can be linked to the aesthetic realm in its focus on the broader impact of actions. For example, the decision to promote social welfare may stem from an appreciation for harmony and beauty in a well-functioning community. Deontological ethics, which emphasizes duty and rules, might resonate with an aesthetic sense of order and structure, valuing the beauty of adhering to moral principles irrespective of the consequences. Meanwhile, virtue ethics, rooted in character and the cultivation of virtues, echoes the aesthetic pursuit of an ideal life—one that is not just morally sound but also beautiful in its expression.

Furthermore, cultural context plays a significant role in shaping our moral aesthetic. Different societies have varied conceptions of beauty and morality that reflect their unique histories, traditions, and values. What is considered morally beautiful in one culture may be viewed as ethically ambiguous or even ugly in another. This variance illustrates that morality cannot be understood in isolation from the aesthetic frameworks that inform it. For instance, indigenous cultures often intertwine spiritual beliefs with ethical practices, reflecting a profound understanding of the beauty in nature and community. Conversely, industrial societies may prioritize efficiency and utility, which can lead to a more utilitarian ethical framework that may neglect the aesthetic considerations of compassion and interconnectedness.

The intersection of morality and aestheticism can also be observed in the realm of art and literature. Throughout history, artists and writers have grappled with moral questions, using their work to explore the complexities of human behavior. The aesthetic experience of engaging with narratives can evoke moral introspection, prompting individuals to reflect on their values and ethical choices. Through beauty, art can illuminate moral principles, challenge prevailing norms, and inspire action. The emotional power of a poignant story can lead individuals to reevaluate their stances on issues ranging from social justice to environmental responsibility, demonstrating how closely intertwined morality and aesthetic appreciation can be.

Moreover, the growing recognition of moral pluralism underscores the importance of the aesthetic dimension in ethical discourse. In an increasingly interconnected world, the acknowledgment of diverse moral perspectives fosters dialogue and mutual understanding. This pluralism mirrors the aesthetic spectrum, where different forms of beauty coexist and interact. Emphasizing the aesthetic dimension of morality allows for richer conversations that respect individual experiences, cultural contexts, and emotional motivations, ultimately contributing to a more empathetic and inclusive society.

In conclusion, framing human morality as a spectrum of aestheticism invites us to reconsider our understanding of ethics. By acknowledging the emotional, cultural, and sensory dimensions of moral decision-making, we embrace the complexity of human behavior and the myriad influences that shape our values. This perspective enriches our moral lives, reminding us that ethics is not merely about rules and rationality but also about the beauty, harmony, and emotions that unify us as human beings. Ultimately, recognizing the aesthetic dimension of morality can lead to deeper connections with ourselves and others, cultivating a more compassionate and understanding world.

The Zodiacs and Modalities

Concept:

As you get into your astro!studies you’ll come across the modalities and it’ll all click a lot more! But then… you run into more lists. That’s okay though, those adjectives give us words to describe these signs, below we’re gonna discuss how to talk about them.

[As followed:]

Cardinal: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn

Fixed: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius

Mutable: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces

Reconception;

Standard Disclaimer: this is not something you should use should try to use to predict the future; I don’t care for divinity. This is using astrology as a tool to reflect on ourselves and how we operate in this world—and how we can do better. I can’t decide what better looks like for you, or your life, but I want to give you some tools to do so yourself. Time to reconceptualize!

The Inaugurated; The Languid; The Fluctuant

[As followed:]

The modality also follow emotional beats patterns. Similar to the way the modalities have cycles, the graph above gives one way to visibly interpret how they do so!

I’ve given the modalities new categories that I think better metaphorically capture their movements and motion of the cycles.

[Cardinal] The Inaugurated

[Fixed] The Languid

[Mutable] The Fluctuant

{Final Thoughts}

We’ve lived so many different lives, done so many different things. No two people experience the same life. Not only that; nothing happens in a vacuum; you are a person in this world and you have to make your own choices. Forget what your chart says about you—what do your actions say about you? The little things and habits you form now are make the person you’ll be several tomorrows now. Is that someone you’re proud of?

[practically-an-x-man]

ooh thank you!

26. which movie made you think the most about life?

Ooh, that one's tough! Honestly, I think I have to go with About Time. I'm not much of a rom-com person (like... at all) and I initially just watched it for Domhnall Gleeson, but the third act has this really poignant message about "you don't need a re-do of every day, you don't need to make all the right choices. you just need to live each day like you've already gone back and made those choices, and make a conscious effort to find beauty in what's around you."

As someone who feels like they have way too many hobbies and not enough time on their hands, that message really helped me reconceptualize and slow down a bit - or, if not slow down, at least feel a little less guilt for not having everything done at once.

40. a film you think everyone should see at least once

I mean... if you haven't seen the Princess Bride, there might be something wrong with you /lh

[“For gay children, regardless of birth order, growing up as unique, if beloved, entities within a heterosexual context is an isolating experience. From the beginning, we are isolated from our families in some ways. We are simultaneously alien and familiar to parents and siblings alike. Although sexual identity is, in many ways, as predetermined as eye color or race, its exercise, acceptance, and expression are delayed by a host of other factors. Inarguably, the primary factor is the family.

In the 1950s, and arguably even today, there was no consensus on how gay people come to be. Most generally, we appear singly in a family that, by its very construction, is alien to who we are and what we will become. Yet, that family forms us and provides the foundation on which we will try to construct the meaningful relationships of our lives. Unfortunately, a great deal of that foundation is built on deception.

For gay children, the lies we tell ourselves and those around us undergo a rapid maturation. Dishonesty serves to protect us and those we love from every reaction to our fear of abandonment, from presumed disappointment to outright anger. Protective colorization is a means of survival no less for the queer kid than for the brown wren or common chameleon. Thus, the internal closet is born, and with it a whole context for dealing with the world.

By natural extension, the social environment gay people are born into is not built to accommodate us. Still, though alternately hostile and benign, that social environment provides gay people with the same layers of secondary identity that it gives to the larger heterosexual hegemony. Every individual has a social identity, a cultural identity, a frame of reference from which to relate to the world.

The homosexual context of relating to the world, although internalized, is as demanding in practice as left- handedness. All those who believe homosexuality is a choice, or some willful embrace of" aberrant" behavior, are self-deluded, if not purposefully ignorant. Being both homosexual and left- handed, I have related to the larger world from those frames of reference for as long as I can remember. The only willful embrace the queer kid rushes to is the safe embrace of the closet, but that cruelly narrows the kid's outward view. It is amazing how many gay people actively disavow, distance themselves from, or reconceptualize their identities after adolescence. A closet cannot accommodate the rich past or heritage into which the gay child is born. That heritage is one from which the child presumes to be excluded by his or her very existence. Arriving as the newest addition to a long line of ancestors who settled into each phase of life with daunting conformity, the queer kid has to question his or her relevance in the history of the family, neighborhood, town, and even era.

To paraphrase Joseph Campbell by substituting “queer" for" hero," there is a great deal of validity, even satisfaction, in a life spent trudging the familiar paths around the village compound. Historically speaking, however, the nascent queer must follow bliss out- side those familiar paths to seek his or her destiny.”]

Best Music Arrangers: 20 Artists You’ve Heard But Not Seen

“Any musical composition can be reconceptualized – Franz Liszt arranged his own works for piano and transformed Bach’s organ music – and the best music arrangers in jazz, pop, and rock have become world-famous. (Quincy Jones and Nelson Riddle are just two of the absolute modern masters.) Music arrangers can decide which instruments will be used, which notes will be repeated, and what sections of the music are repeated, and in which order. Their subtle changes to the choice of instruments, tempo, key, or time signature can make all the difference to the success of the final record. Here we pick 20 of best arrangers in popular music over the past century. ...”

Reconceptualizing The Nanny Affair

Imagine the power TNA would have if Sofia was genuinely a nice person. Like, she just wants the best for Sam and the twins and really thinks that this arrangement is more than that. She really tries to love Sam as much as she can.

They get married, and Sam’s happy for a while because Sofia’s great but she’s just too clean, too pristine for them (also kinda old?). Sam likes daredevils, right? Like the photo of them and their former wife skydiving?

Then this hot-ass bitch nanny comes along, and she’s young and full of ambition and really looks like she wants to fuck Sam and after seeing how good she is with the kids, Sam grows attached to Ms. Hot-Ass Bitch Nanny more than they are attached to Sofia. And enter the +Desire. A proper build-up to the point where they just can’t not touch each other.

The whole affair happens and it’s been going on for a while, Sam and MC are fully lusting for each other, all seems well because MC’s got her job and she’s got her lover. MC knows that it’s wrong, but +Desire is already over the top so she can’t stop.

Sofia, being a smart woman (she’s almost CEO of her company, after all) finds out. She’s crushed. The news leaks and everyone in the world feels sorry for her, rightfully, because her spouse is a cheater and they’ve been fucking the nanny.

MC’s and Sam’s lives are *ruined* because of it. MC’s finally a villain for once, instead of your classic Mary Sue. Sam’s kicked out of the company for tarnishing their image. Robin finally gets control of the company (without any deception or manipulation), but they knew about the whole thing from the beginning so it’s hard to see this happen to them.

MC and Sam move out of the city, cutting off all connections except for Robin, and go live on a farm or some shit like that. The boys are weirded out by the sudden change of lifestyle, but don’t mind because they can now try out all the experiments that they want in their massive yard. Years pass, Sofia and Sam reconcile because Sofia sees how happy MC makes them. She and Robin may have a thing, and MC and Sam are fine with their yeehaw sex life. There’s another baby on the way because with that amount of fucking there’s no way it wasn’t coming.

Imagine the power if TNA went like this. We’d have no more of that rivalry shit, MC as the bad guy (no matter how unintentional it may be), an actual affair, it’s not a happy ending per se, but everyone’s okay with how their lives turn out.

In conclusion, yeah. Hire me, PB.
