im back to dcst fixation with the new season so im rewatching. i remembered how much i like senku's principle of how humanities, arts and sciences aren't so far apart. i like that he thinks of course it more logical to care for people and that no matter how weird you are, science has room for you. it's curiosity for curiosity's sake. a different kind of greed.

Oh my fucking god the Raph and Don parallels are so much fucking worse. They sound like each other when they think and speak. Insisting “I love you” against a locked door. The last part of Raph’s chapter feels like the scene where Donnie reminisces on the time after Shredder. His monologue at the beginning literally sounds like Donnie begging for forgiveness from his brother in CL. “I wanna be worth it” you’re both SICK in the head.

HHHHHHhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

leo and donnie may be twinning hard right now but raph and donnie are doing some fuckinnnn!!! PARALLELS!!!!!! CL being so long and having so much to take from for things like this really helps pound in the way that the roles have been reversed after the curse breaks; how they cant do much but work, how they can only love from afar, how they can give and give and give but it wont get through to the person they want to love them the most, how desperate they are for normalcy and simplicity and the donnie they used to have .......

what a terrible way to finally be able to empathize with your emotionally unavailable brother.

that scene where they talk about the stuff they miss is also kind of intended to be a parallel to the family meeting,,,, but donnie's missing from it. they're not saying this to him. because he opened himself up and took their punishment but he wont so easily do the same with their love. haha painful! :D

as an early birthday gift to myself, I pre-ordered the pressure chief vinyl (it arrived yesterday!), and I just wanted to show off how pretty all the cake vinyls are.

Alicia from Level 99 Villainess is a tragic figure, at least in the novel versions.

She is supposed to be the protagonist, the wielder of light magic who will defeat the Demon Lord and save the country. She starts off weak, but she should grow over the course of the story, both in terms of power and emotionally to face the challenge at the end.

This is all thrown off by Yumiella appearing at the start of her story.

Yumiella is potentially the most powerful person in the world, and could probably solo the Demon Lord from the beginning. She also looks like a cloud of darkness with glowing eyes to Alicia.

Yumiella also shows up Alicia's harem, giving them inferiority complexes that keep them emotionally stunted and cause them to over-focus on protecting Alicia, which stunts her magical and emotional growth. She doesn't need to learn to stand for herself if she has three strong guys doing it for her. And they don't need to confront their feelings of inferiority if they have sweet, weak Alicia to protect and make them feel strong. Meanwhile Yumiella is still stronger than all of them, a steady reminder of all their inadequacies.

Yumiella tries to help, but her own lack of social skills and empathy lead her to traumatizing Alicia further in her attempt to level grind her. Now Yumiella doesn't only look monstrous, she has also forced Alicia into a dangerous situation and would not let her leave.

So when it's time for the final battle, time to fight the demon lord, Alicia finally takes some agency and attempts to slay the demon who has been tormenting her.

I've been thinking lately about how to make a character who lacks agency interesting, and I think it's by giving a lot of impact to the choices they do make.

I forgot what seeded the thought, but I wanted to know what's the largest a compass could be before physics prevents it from getting bigger. Like, if it got so big and heavy the magnetic field wouldn't be able to exert force on it greater than other forces like gravity.

Turns out, there's no answer. Either that or my search skills are getting worse. There's a 4,000ft compass in the desert somewhere but it's painted on the ground. But that's, you'll need another compass to even make that one. Given enough tectonic shift it'll be wrong some day. The search provided me results to a 9cm compass for children ages 7 and up.

So I asked the /physics reddit and got some vague discussions but no one seemed to have a ready clear response. The only upvoted response is the it has to be smaller than the Earth. Someone mentioned ships used to have big compasses and the largest one I found was a nearly 11" compass from ye Olde days.

Can a functional compass be the size of a bus? A warehouse? A continent? Or would the magnetic field be unable to turn a needle heavier than 50kgs?

Maybe I need to find out how much force the magnetic field can exert on an object free floating in water closed to the environment.

I even had the thought of looking in the Guinness Book website but the only result that they had was oldest compass.

so I found a counselor (yay) and when I went in to fill out the paperwork for it after a very hard day I got very overwhelmed and sad and I started to cry, you know the kind where the tears just well up and spill over without any effort, and a man in the waiting room got up and handed me a box of tissues and it truly went right to the depths of my heart.

It’s so weird to get comments on my HP-fics these days.

Like, I put in a lot of time and effort in those things, and I’m glad that they’re still making people happy.

But also like, why the fuck are you still in the fandom? What morally abhorrent opinions do you have, that you can still engage with HP with a smile on your face?

"Irredeemable media" referring to, like, kids shows, and not fucking red room tapes or whatever, is really funny to me

It's Compass' Time To "Mek Noise" In Dancehall

Dancehall Artist Compass is working his way up to becoming one of the more spoken acts out. With cosigns from a number of Deejays including Skillibeng, he has been displaying a respectable set of skills, and the public has been paying attention to his music releases. He’s still putting in work, and he recently he released the video for the track, “Mek Noise“. Directed by One Rizzo, Compass is in…
