Opened TikTok, saw the message, closed TikTok, opened TikTok again so I could react with people about, crumbled in realization that we are unable to group together anymore

I think we can all agree hualian invented love but I feel like bingqiu will also invent something at some point. Like hooking up in the backseat of a 2009 Honda Accord in the middle of a car crash. Something romantic like that.

Ford Capri brochure (Australian market), 1970. The first generation Capri was assembled in Australia from CKD kits imported from the UK. The Australian range was restricted to Deluxe/XL/GT models with two versions of the 1.6 litre "Kent" in-line 4 or Ford's 3.0 "Essex" V6 engines. From 1969 through to late 1972, Ford sold a total of 14,638 Capri’s consisting of 6,965 Deluxe 1600-1V models, 2,442 1600-2V XL models, 2,217 1600-2V GT models and 3,014 3000-2V GT models. Australian assembly (at Homebush, near Sydney) ended in 1972. The Capri model name re-emerged in Australia in 1990 as a two-seat convertible that was also sold in the US as the Mercury Capri.

On the second page, we have some deputies of the future National Convention- the first government made up of deputies voted for via universal male suffrage: Marat, Brissot, Danton, Saint-Just and Belley.

I'm thinking about the absurdity of everything that happened to the Mighty Nein when they finally make it to Rosohna.

Like, imagine being the Essek for that.

Here's a group of adventurers. They have a surprising number of humans in their midst. That's a little suspicious considering the war with the Empire. After a few questions, they appear to be the world's most obvious and transparent spies. Like... Come on, they don't even really seem to know the region.

Well, whatever, guess they're gonna be treated appropriately-

Oh, that's a beacon. In a moment of stress, they proceed to pull out the most valuable relic of your people, which was stolen, or lost, and just... hand it back over to you.

You (as Essek), know about 95% of how they got their hands on it, because you've been keeping tabs on it because you're the one who handed it over in the first place. And here it is. In the throne room. They have no idea what it is, but they know the Bright Queen wants it, and they seem to earnestly want to make friends, and really would just like one of their members to get her husband back.

And the whole thing gets even stupider because you (that is to say Essek), decide that your best chance of keeping everything secure is to be the one who keeps an eye on them, and these dumbasses categorically refuse to stop trying to befriend you. You are specifically, actively trying to stop them from getting you caught and executed for treason, and they're like 'hey, you want to come over for dinner or something? We have a hot tub.'

i dont really do meta (i've more experience with textual media so forgive any ignorances on my behalf) but i after seeing the Treister juicebox clip again (happy Terstay Tuesday) I went back and rewatched Any Which Way But Zeus and noticed something fascinating - when they're down in the Dr Strangelove Room, there's a big establishing shot, we do some bits, Brock fucked Tiger Shark's wife (nice.), and in the process we see where everyone is sitting.

Brock and Hunter are sitting next to each other at the end of the table near the door.

when Brock gets in trouble for cracking that hoser like a selachimorphic whip, we get another angle that shows that they're on either side of the end of the table, with no chair between them.

At this point, Treister arrives.

And Hunter immediately turns into an empty chair.

Now, vbros doesn't really do like. semantic cinematography (it's a fast-paced comedy-action show with a massive cast, the framing is pretty exclusively in service to helping the audience follow all the million insane things that happen every second), so in terms of intent, this is probably just an animation error.

However, in terms of effect, I find it quite striking. Especially considering for the remainder of this scene Hunter remains invisible. Even when we get a final wide shot of everyone, you just cannot see her. The effect is compounded by Treister's line.

I think it's incredibly meaningful that Treister shows up and detonates the scene by drawing attention to the embarrassing underwear he's forced everyone to wear, insisted that he is special and they are all beneath them, finished off by calling them all girls as an insult, and in the process completely robs Hunter of her existence.

The episode then goes through a scene at the arena, and then one at the Venture Compound, before returning to the. bunker. thing. where Hunter is once again visible, just in time for a scene about how everyone hates the code-names Treister has assigned them.

He's assigned her a feminine code-name (I think it's noteworthy that the only other attendee to get a feminine code-name is Brock, who - under the fucked up family framework the OSI operates under - is basically her son, and therefore something Treister can use to punish her). He calls on her using a woman's name, and then immediately belittles her for not conforming to OSI protocol.

And yet, when the think tank has completely exhausted themselves trying to come up with plans, literally the only person still awake, the only person still trying to appease Treister is Hunter.

But what really makes all this come together for me, what really drives home how much this scene is Hunter In Detransition Purgatory, is why they're there in the first place. Who's missing.

TL;DR - sorry for ruining Terstay Tuesday by saying I think Treister is Hunter's transphobic dad, but. well. I think Treister is Hunter's transphobic dad.

this weekend I got a library card for the library in my new city and spent a while exploring and getting excited about books. I had to restrain myself from checking out like every book in the tech section because they were all so interesting lol. for now I'm borrowing books on high performance python and identity security, because those are the two topics I'm struggling with at work right now haha. not pictured is Babel, which I'm currently reading as an ebook. I've just been in book mode for the past few weeks and I want to learn all the things!

also yesterday I published a post announcing the studyblr masterpost jam! there's been some chatting around studyblr about bringing back some of the old-style studyblr resource posts and the like, and I thought this would be a fun way to do it! I'll be writing a bunch of masterposts about cybersecurity next week and I'd love to learn about what y'all are studying <3

Idk… seeing Chris there was soooooo confusing for me because that man has been so adamant about his journey in the MCU. And then they gagged me in a way that had me barely containing myself from leaping off my seat with sudden tears hitting my eyes. I never thought I’d get the chance to see him don that suit again and, contrary to popular opinion, I LOVED the characters in the OG FF movies. The plot was definitely questionable, Abla was very unnecessarily sexualised, but the characters???? They were all soooo good. Both movies remain close to my heart and getting the unexpected chance to feel like I can finally close that door is something so wholesome to me. Once again, thank you Ryan.

(And a special thanks for letting the man curse his heart out)

guys i need you to know that like.

if you see a charm you like on somehing i've made and you're thinking to yourself "aw damn i love those earrings but i don't have pierced ears i'd love it on a necklace though" or "yo that's so cute but i don't wear necklaces i wish it was a phone charm" or whatever

just ask me. it's no inconvenience to me to put charm A on component C instead of component B i promise. there's no custom order charge. whatever it is will be the same price as whatever other equivalent things i've made already.

that's the beauty of making stuff and not being a factory production line. i can just make something else

as i'm typing this i'm reminded of a guy who came by the stall next to mine a few weeks ago (crafty dark aunty. she's on facebook. she's cool) lamenting to his friend that he loved the little dragonfly charms on a pair of earrings but only wore single earrings and also didn't like the additional bead. so Babs just piped up like "i can take the bead off right now and just sell you a single earring, if you like"

he looked at her like this was some sort of witchcraft like. bestie if you put 2 things on a piece you can just as easily remove one of them. a new earring can easily be created to replace the one you are taking.
