#i am drunk right now

[zorilleerrant]

I think Jenny Calendar is a lesbian. and she's into Giles because she's like. oh look a sexy butch. and he doesn't know she thinks that he's just awkward and shy so she goes slow which means they never have any kind of talk about sexuality

when you google "black and white pictures of cows" it doesn't work well because cows are already black and white

This scene, this scene drives me insane on reread.

Tsukauchi KNEW- He ABSOLUTELY KNEW what would happen. He's been friends with Toshinori for 6 years. He is the first personal friend Toshinori makes after recieving his injuries. Of course he knows Toshinori. Of course he went in to talk with Stain before Toshinori. And Stain is anything but subtle so there's no question about what was said there...

Everyone else we see who tries to reach out to Toshinori all say the same thing. Just Live. Be good. Be you. That's enough. Inko, Sir Nigheye, Aizawa. They're trying to get him to live. Which is all well and good, but none of it is what Toshinori wants to hear.

NAOMASA NO DOUBT KNOWS THAT

But Stain- what Stain says isn't a mere "take care of yourself and live" it's "continue to do what makes you-you, and don't let anything stop you. FUCKING CRAWL IF YOU HAVE TO."

THAT. THAT IS WHAT TOSHINORI WANTS.

JUST LOOK AT THIS MAN. THIS. THIS IS WHAT MAKES HIM FEEL ALIVE. Look at how happy he is through all of this, he's completely unhinged and he's loving it.

Stain approved him doing this shit. And that, THAT is what gives Toshinori the motivation to keep going.

WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY TSUKAUCHI DIDN'T WANT THEM TO MEET! Because all it took, was one interaction. Toshinori found his will to live, he found the means to feel again. But that also means, Toshinori is going to be recklessly driven by his own conviction, regardless of how bad it is for him - and NOBODY will be able to convince him that "just living is enough".

Because Stain told him to keep going without regard for set backs, go until dead. Because that is who All Might is. And that is why Stain loves him so freakin' much.

(this is not the face of a guy shocked by the letter. This is the face of guy going "oh. shit. i tried to prevent this." Sorry Tsukauchi... the soulmates united.)

So anybody have one or more of those ships where it's technically non-canon but it feel so right that it's canon to you or that there's so much in the show/manga/book/movie/games that make it feel like it or even your headcanons could be canon.

or you just don't give a damn and will make the stuff that canon wouldn't.

BECAUSE buck and eddie have only felt their feelings when they thought the other was dying out of their reach. both of them coherent certain of their deaths would HAVE to confess their feelings bc what else is there? they would have to kiss. bc it's their last chance. their lives would flash before their eyes and all they'd see was each other. and chris. and the life they've built together. like. it has to happen. like that. weee.

Fr medkit got that wet cat vibe just like jon

They’re literally just the same person fr

I made this meme a long time ago if someone hasn't posted it already to Tumblr. so long ago that I second guess if I actually made it but that's the line camera not actually centered not the same size font editing I use and I remember making this. so i'm pretty sure. anyways it's probably more like tumblr's speed if I had followers or knew how the fuck to tag it this would blow up

polyline tool how we feeling

i really appreciate that the character Augbert recognizes an aspect of planeswalkers that i feel is often neglected and that is the fact that one of the worlds he has lived in for a long time is this world. yes he is very out of touch and is usually talking about things that we are unfamiliar with but he does also know things about this modern realm. he can articulate physics concepts using contemporary scientific terms. he understands that vic is not legally allowed to fire employees without proper cause

like with this specific character it is pretty likely that most, if not all, of what he's saying is not objective reality (whether he's lying or the things he believe did not really happen). but the fact that he's a physicist is not evidence of what he's saying not being true

I'm not really worried about AI art. I think it'll either fade out pretty quickly or be modified in a way to make it a functioning part of the art ecosystem without stepping on toes (or destroying the environment). What worries me is how this is all interacting with what's supposed to be factual information.

Like, oh, it's trained on omegaverse, haha that's so funny, but like. Yeah, it's trained on a lot of fiction, that has a lot of gore and violence and bigotry and sexual content of all stripes and substance abuse and satire and recognizable names of people and places and things that exist in the real world. And like... if someone writes a fic where some restaurant chain is making food out of human meat, that could be interesting or not your thing. If google ends up thinking that's real? We've already seen it get massively confused over recalls, so what if it thinks the fictional drug someone invented is actually in some food product, and everyone believes it.

What I'm worried about is that people are already using generative AI to try to do their homework, or research, or the grunt work for their job. So what about when some reporter just inputs keywords about a concert, and then the AI spits out sold to One Direction fanfic, only they modified it to fit the keywords, and then they also modified it to fit the tone of an article. And it says One Direction is doing human trafficking. Only instead of One Direction, it's a kpop band selling someone to another kpop band. And then everyone just straight up believes it because they're asian.

Facts are being invented left right and center on purpose, and then even more people are looking for facts in the wrong places and like, it doesn't even have to be malicious. Fox News or whatever invents some bullshit and then something satires it and then google spits back the satire as if it's real news and then someone gets confused and asks for more of it. And a dozen people, trying to be helpful, repeat back what chatgpt told them about it. And we already know the models are chock full of racism and every other bigotry under the sun, and repeat them back. So what was something people were fighting against in journalism is going to come back a hundred fold, especially since people have less time and less money to actually be doing the journalism in the first place.

We've already see 'you can see it!' generated videos that people use in lieu of even a coherent story. It's been a longstanding thing people say that if there's photos/videos it must be true (which was always wrong, but) and now it's getting easier and easier to make things and try to claim they're something. People won't even count the fingers in the images. You can tell them the edges blur but they've already gotten outraged about whatever it is without even checking. Hell, the obviously photoshopped cranberry bog dolphins already get people! The bonsai kittens got people! And now these things can be generated so fast with more angles and even in motion, and like. Nobody teaches fact checking in schools anymore, and nobody ever taught how to unlearn implicit bias.

So when, instead of picking up some artist's style, the art looks like a normal newspaper photograph, when instead of mimicking some fanfic author it's set to bring you the calm and authoritative tone of some reporter you trust already, it's going to snowball. It's going to work a few times, and everyone who still employs journalists is going to fire them and be like, wow, this is easier, this is faster. And it's probably going to happen in the next few years. That's what I worry about. That's why I think we need the regulations.

At least the art isn't supposed to be real.

"Hey There, Dio"

July 2023 prompt "pool" / 442 words / rated g / tw; Eddie is drunk (don't know if that counts as a trigger) / @steddiemicrofic

Steve glances over the pool table, watching dark curls fall in front of the other man's face. Tattoos stretched out on his skin as he moves his arms out while holding the cue stick aiimed at a dark green ball. Steve lets a soft chuckle rip through his chest when he realizes the guy doesn’t know what he’s doing. Either that or he was too drunk to realize his mistake. 

“Hey there Dio, you're supposed to hit the white ball into the striped balls.” Steve comments amused as he holds the stick against his chest. Snorting as he watches the other drunkenly move around the table to the white ball. 

“I knew that.” 

“Sure you did, pal.” 

Steve shakes his head as his eyes land on the Dio patch on the other’s vest. Tracing the details on the image as he waits for the other to hit the ball. Which never comes as the guy misses and falls face-first into the baize. It was absolutely pathetic and Steve forces himself to hold his laughter back. Not understanding why the other was so determined to play a match with him if he was to wasted to see straight.

Instead of teasing the other like he wanted to, he moves and wraps his arm around the others waist. Sliding his arm underneath the leather jacket as he pulls the others arm around his shoulder so he could help him walk.

“Oooooh, gotta buy me a drink first big boy,” The flirting is new and it causes Steves brain to shortwire with confusion. He did walk in a straight bar right?

“Well good thing waters free then.” Steve says amused. He doesn’t know who this guy was but he was determined to make sure he was safe for the night. 

“Noooo, not water.” The man tosses his head back almost causing both of them to flop back onto the pool table. Steve grunts a little at the amount of weight he has to lift before he gets a better grip on the other to help him walk over to a booth. Being dragged down to sit next to the orher as the man tosses his legs over his lap. Tilting his head a bit, before moving forward and licking the side of Steve’s face.

“Finder Keepers.”

Steve's face scrunches up a bit as he tries to lift his hand up and wipe the spit off from his face. Trying his hardest to be mad at the other whose eyes have grown wide all of a sudden. 

“You’s the most prettiest boy I ever met.”

And oh god tonight, was going to be a long night.

Why have I not seen anyone toy with the idea of Grantaire doing satire political cartoons?

I don't believe he would do it as a form of activism or propaganda. It just seems something he would humor himself with, pass the time at meetings, or doodle as a fun joke when bored. I mean, he does share the other's ideas, he just doesn't believe that they have any hope of bringing change. He definitely won't do them in hopes of them somehow helping The Cause (but maybe his friends would want to publish some, and Grantaire would decide to amuse them and allow it).

He seems like the kind of guy who would enjoy that sort of humor, and you can actually hide a lot of symbolism into these. I have included some examples from the French Revolution period (yes, I'm aware the book is about June Rebellion; it's just examples), and tell me it's not something you can imagine Grantaire doing simply for his amusement

"Le peuple sous l'ancien Regime"- 1815; "Louis rides a pig"- 1791; "The game must end soon"- 1789
