There really could never have been a better phrase for sanctuary then "linger a while thou art so fair!" it encapsulates Wataei so well oh it fits like a house on fire. And it really hits different when you understand the original german because every english translation I have seen translates it like "When I say to the moment flying / Linger a while thou art so fair / then bind me in thy bonds undying / and my final ruin I shall bear!" and that just really doesn't hit the same as "Werd ich zum Augenblicke sagen / "Verweile doch! Du bist so schön" / Dann magst du mich in Fesseln schlagen / Dann will ich gern zugrunde gehn!" It just really doesn't have the same vigor to it there's something missing especially in the last line the rest is fine actually but "and my final ruin I shall bear" sounds so resigned so accepting but in a sober way like it's a consequence to those actions it's so matter-of-factly and I think the "gern" just makes a lot of difference there because the german original has more passion behind it it's the same accepting of consequence but it's different and the verse before that too "dann magst du mich" feels like it's giving explicit permission it doesn't sound as sober as the english either it's. I really can't explain it. but it fits wataei so well because Eichi would also be fully on board with letting Wataru lead him into ruin oh and it is so good

The midjourney stuff just reminds of when we were trying to find a new platform to host the ao3 donation form, and companies kept trying to tell me about all their "ai" features that would track donor engagement, and figure out the optimal pattern to email individual donors asking for follow up donations, and all the ways they suggest we manipulate people into staying on our websites. It was a great way to filter out who either wasn't listening to us when we described our ethics and donor base, or just didn't believe us.

Now granted ao3 is a unique case based on a) the amount of page views we get in any given time period and b) the fact that most donors absolutely do Not want to be identified as such anywhere, (the default "list of recent donors" module got nuked Immediately) but it surprised me some that the concept of "donors who value their privacy and would be furious at even the whiff of AI" is unique. Some of us really are just existing in different worlds.

i’m gonna say something controversial yet brave: sexuality labels are a convenient tool we use to define something that is undefinable

i was thinking about that post comparing Jessica Rabbit as an asexual to Barbie and an asexual and then i thought of the Neil Gaiman post (was it a post?) about Crowley and Aziraphale being asexual sexless and then this happened.

anyways. thoughts?

sorry it took so long I meant to do this a week ago but my brain is full of rocks.

[Image ID a three sided venn diagram. the big circles show Margot Robbie's Barbie sitting in front of a mirror, Jessica and Roger Rabbit from the poster of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens standing back to back. Between Barbie and Jessica Rabbit it says "sexualised by society". Between Jessica Rabbit and Aziraphale and Crowley it says "Knows what sex is". Between Aziraphale and Crowley and Barbie it says "no reproductive system(?)". the center is the asexual flag. End ID]

Also i haven't seen the Barbie movie as of this edit so at least please tag your spoilers.

Oh I forgot to say.

Bug (4) is going to start school now so we’ve been doing literacy practice. One set of exercises was about “opposites” and I drew a card reading “fat”. Ok what’s the opposite of fat.

Bug thought about it and then said dreamily: “meat.”

"Magic as science and technology" isn't unique to Frieren I'm sure, but it's an interesting piece of worldbuilding still.

i’ve begun saying people “obviously aren’t in a romantic relationship, they have something deeper and more intimate going on” as this seems to confuse and upset alloromantics

(ID: a banner with text over the aro flag. the text says: i don't care about blorbotags go wild but this post is about hating the hierarchial system of relationships & if you're mad about it you're probably been poisoned by ace discourse brainworms. and are also proving my point. /end ID)

URGENT UPDATE ON KOSA.

This is exactly how they were finally able to pass the tiktok ban after trying for 3 years. And this is exactly what I was worried about them trying as a result. Again, all info and resources for fighting KOSA are in the pinned post on my page. Plz spread the word. Even if you don't live in america, Share this with any american friends and mutuals you have. We can still fight this bill we still have a chance at stopping it just like we have in the past. The only reason it hasn't passed yet is because we keep fighting it. Don't forget that. make sure your reps and senators don't know a moment of peace
