[not my writing]
Pocket calculators! Now there's something. They're so complicated! I have a calculator which has sines, cosines, tangents, logarithms, hyperbolic functions and multiple nested parentheses. You can program it in Fortran, Algol, Basic, Pascal, Forth, Fifth and Sixth, ADA and Carruthers. It will factorize primes for you. At present it's working on the Halting Problem.
(continued)
It translates from one language to another. From German to Spanish. From Macedonian to Esperanto. From Cantonese to Greek. Or from American to English.
It is, in fact, a multiprocessor system. There are 22 Transputers in there. Sometimes they organize a game of football between them.
It has a full color, wraparound wide screen, liquid crystal, three-dimensional holographic display. It's called HoloChromaCinePhotoRamaScope.
Its audio facilities include Dolby Digital Decaphonic surround sound. On the way here I watched "The Labyrinth" on it.
It also has synthetic speech and a voice recognition system. I often talk to it. I tell it my problems. Sometimes it psychoanalyses me. It has me figured as paranoid. But that's just because it keeps getting at me. But don't get me wrong - it can be very user friendly. In fact you can program precisely HOW user friendly you want it is to be on a scale from ONE to TEN.
On a setting of ONE it won't even interrupt a football game to answer you. But on a setting of TEN it's so friendly that on a cold day it pre-heats its pushbuttons.
But no matter who smart it SEEMS, deep down inside it's just a dumb old computer.
One time I got really mad at it. Like all computers, it knew precisely what I wanted it to do. It knew exactly what I MEANT. So why does it have to go and DO what I SAID?
How do you get even with a dumb machine like that?
First I tried slapping it around a little. I pushed its buttons a bit hard. I threatened it. "How would you like a busted display" I said.
But it did no good. It just said "I am virtually unbreakable - and I'm not going to take any notice till you enter the data nicely, like you used to do."
Whatever I did it always seemed to win.
I decided to have a man-to-man talk with it. So I sat it down and said to it "Who's the boss here, you or me?"
No reply.
Again I ask "Who's the boss, you or me? Go on, answer me!"
"I'm thinking, I'm thinking," it said.
So I hit it. Hard. Too hard. I cracked its case.
At first I thought that was the limit of the damage. But then little things started to go wrong. At first there was nothing definite. Nothing you could put your finger on. Just little things like stuttering. It just didn't sound quite the same. Its voice seemed to lack its former confidence.
Then once I caught it making an arithmetic mistake. Of course I didn't mention it. But you could tell it knew. Its self image was shot to pieces.
Saddest of all, it forgot our anniversary - of the day I bought it. In the past this had been a special time for us.
I just couldn't bear it any longer. One evening I tucked it up snugly in its case, lit candles, played a record which was popular when we first met, and sat down beside it.
"Where did we go wrong?" I said. But it had it pride. It wasn't about to weaken in front of a non-machine.
"Wrong? Nothing is wrong," it said. "Just insufficient data."
But underneath you could tell it was hurt.
From there it was a rapid downhill slide.
Now it just mutters to itself. It can only do very simple calculations on small numbers.
Finally came the ultimate indignity. It lost control. It leaked electrolyte all over its case.
I felt so bad about it. My other gadgets weren't happy about it either. They all came out in sympathy for the calculator. My watch gave me a bad time. My power tools keep blowing fuses.
Then one night last week I was driving my car back from London when suddenly the engine stopped all by itself on this lonely country road.
I tried to get out but the solenoids were inhibited by the central locking computer. Suddenly the air conditioner came on and started to blow out freezing cold air. It made a noise like wind whistling through the trees. Then this creepy music came from the loudspeaker. The sort of music they play in movies when the hero is lost in a dark forest.
I got scared. The cold, the wind and the weird music got to me. Then it started to speak.
"You're the guy who beats up pocket calculators!"

Alrighty, here's my first bit of fanart for 2024! Asha and Starboy from Disney's Wish - more specifically, Wish's concept art :''') I haven't seen the movie, but I think I can confidently say that I would've been more interested in seeing it if they'd kept the romance/soulmate dynamic from the early concepts.
But anyways, here's my take on Star's design, and also a little cheek kiss for Asha! :D Also, I never made an official "Happy New Year" post, so I just wanted to say thank you all for your support in my art and writing endeavours! I hope this year is a kind one for you, and may all your wishes come true <333
#i drew this while listening to the transformers 2 soundtrack loll#those movies are chaos incarnate but the music is pretty great imo#(referring to the first three movies cuz i never bothered to see the others ^^;;)#art#my art#fantasy#illustration#disney#wish#disney wish#wish 2023#wish asha#wish star#asha x star#human star#romance#platonic love

In canon, a kwami's power must be used through a human wielding a miraculous, otherwise it'll have unforeseen consequences. So, in your AU, does Imago stealing Marinette's agonies cause any sort of trouble?
honestly the biggest unforeseen consequence is that this dude is around and being himself
no but for real, there should be a hypermassive consequence for a kwami unfettered peeking their head in, but there's not because of shit we'll get into later.
just consider it like this for the time being: now that Marinette is a sage and is capable of communing with the gods, she as a living being can be used as that intermediate conduit for power instead of the miraculous gems. If it was Tikki, for example, using her power raw with sage!Marinette, Mari would be able to access the power of creation or be swayed by it - however, it would put a massive strain on her, as she's not a miraculous but still capable of acting as that pipeline.
The reason Marinette has no ill effects from Imago, however, is because Imago is playing with a catch 22. Their purpose was to take agony away from Marinette, so even the exhaustion of accessing the unfettered power of a god was something he stole from her, so it seems like zero consequences have been had. In truth Imago is now SO tired holy moly and they DO NOT LIKE IT LMAO
#replies#we'll play with more gods later! it'll be great#sass will talk about how there's a reason people worshiped many gods back in the day#cuz back in the asscrack of time gods were capable of blessing people with their power. or cursing them#but they gave that shit up to become real when the first sage created the miraculous#so its not like Imago peeking their head in would've collapsed reality. gods used to do this crap all the time#but the doorways are almost rusted shut from lack of use; for lack of a better term#its only the fact that marinette is now accessible to the gods that let imago yank that janky door open#anyway don't think about it too hard. we're here to have fun after all

I love that Caleb does not ever seem to take opportunities to take any kind of "this might be the last moment I have" actions. No matter what, when everyone else is going around and making their desperate moves, Caleb doesn't. Even after he recommends otherwise to others, it is notable that he among the group doesn't do so, and this is consistent with his previous behavior.
I like to think that stems from the moment he opted against trying to work with Trent—which I think, at its core, was an attempt at such an action. If Caleb had died fighting the Somnovem, he had every reason to believe that Trent would continue in his actions. Though Astrid and Eadwulf were willing to subtly undermine him, they had made it clear that they were not willing to challenge him outright. Caleb tells the Nein, when they are discussing their last wishes at the Blooming Grove before returning to Eiselcross, that he would appreciate Trent being eliminated in the event of his death. I have to believe that there was a fear or regret that his dearest motivations would not come to fruition which spurred his interest in using an alliance with him in Aeor to trap and kill him.
I've mentioned elsewhere that I believe Essek's willingness to disagree with him was one of the factors in Caleb being able to trust him and his judgment, but I would also argue it was a wake-up call for Caleb—about letting himself be distracted; about not focusing in on the mission at hand; about, potentially, expecting failure in this goal, especially after he has watched his friends say their goodbyes as if they too expect to die. "Stay on task, Widogast," is a mantra he uses in Vergessen, but he does get caught up, to an extent, in enacting as much damage as he can to the place in the process, and regardless of whether this ruthless assault slowed or sped their discovery, Trent did catch up to them, and very nearly caught Veth and Jester as well as himself. Given Caleb's fears throughout the campaign that he will draw the danger that dogs him onto his newfound friends, and his later apology to Essek in the same conversation for drawing Trent's attention to him, it is not a stretch to argue that this is yet another guilt he shoulders.
It isn't lost on me that Caleb almost died before the Nein even met, he was perpetually aware of his fragility among the group, and he was the last member of the Nein to go down and need to be revived. So I just think it's very fun if he, who so often seemed to be on the verge of death, who in fact planned to step back in history and in the process erase the person he had become, found himself at some point determined to live, and firmly confident in his ability to do so.
He does not wrap up his affairs, he does not say goodbyes, and while he may acknowledge the stakes for the group, he does not entertain the idea that he personally will not make it out alive—because, as Dorian notes, he has a lot to live for. He has to get back home to his partner and his well-maintained garden; he has to make sure the Cerberus Assembly's nefarious schemes do not continue in Ludinus's absence, perhaps even in the absence of the Assembly itself, depending on what its members do in its wake; he probably has to go egg on his godson's shenanigans as payback for Veth threatening to shoot him out of the sky.
Caleb Widogast is an absolute cockroach of a wizard, and, in true Mighty Nein form, he is at all times thriving on unfinished business.
#cr spoilers#critical role#caleb widogast#cr meta#I JUST THINK IT'S GREAT IF HE DECIDED HE IS GOING TO LIVE DAMMIT#HE'S COME SO FAR HE'S DOING SO GOOD#anyway fun fact I was trying to work on this during the cable sequence and had to fucking stop cuz I was laughing so hard

#art#cassie sandsmark#wonder girl#greta hayes#dc comics#I do like some of the concepts. the execution was um. not great#but I can rip the cool shit from it and ignore the rest like you wouldn’t believe babygirl#I do like the idea that she got a new all red suit to honor Donna. I do not like the suit they gave her but still#fun idea#I love the idea of Greta and Cassie being roomies tho#cuz obviously cissie and traya are roommates. and who else would offer to room with a superhero#alos greta doodle! I don’t have a ghost design down for her but her alive self is easier#yea I gave her a white streak cuz of her resurrection . no don’t ask me what fandom I was a part of in 2021#the friendship bracelets are for the Yj boys btw. green for rob red for impulse and blue for kon#she’s got other stuff for the girls (Anita cissie and Greta) but I haven’t decided yet#THE HEADBAND IS FROM CISSIE THO. the communal headband#all the girls (and also bart) have used it#they just pass it around

In love with the main character dynamics of ToA
#the fact that they’re both rude and annoying in completely opposite ways is also hilarious#cuz Meg is gross and blunt but impulsively brave and selfless#while Apollo is selfish and cowardly but has refined etiquette and table manners#it’s ok he gets better#she doesn’t and that’s what’s great about her#toa#trials of Apollo#lester papadopoulos#Apollo#meg mccaffrey#riordanverse
