#I was suddenly struck by how superficially similar Edgeworth and Kristoph are lol #which led me to thinking the first time pheonix sees edgeworth wearing glasses might've come as a bit of a shock to the system lol #ace attorney #pheonix wright #beanix #miles edgeworth #7 year gap #wrightworth #narumitsu

Day 2: Timeloop / Xiao Qi and Jiu Ge

I am cringe and I am not even free

Feel free to reuse this idea but 24 hours are not enough for me to finish an entire comic. I could have taken the simpler prompt but nOOOOOO timeloop is too tempting. Past me why are we like this

#svsss #shen jiu #yue qingyuan #qijiu #qijiuweek2024 #the basic idea for this was that both yqy and sj remember each loop #the loop started after their individual deaths in PIDW and resets them to close to disciple era #aka the time Yue Qi was in the caves and SJ presumably got away from the Qiu household or was already with Wu Yanzi #I imagine the first few loops they qi deviated so hard from the shock that they didnt even make it like 1 hour in the loop before beingrese #and then had a few loops just fucking around and finding out #eventually they realise that the other has the memories of all loops and so begins the talks and figuring how tf they can get out of this #maybe they resolve their issues with the promise or not your choice tbh #they try different plans and methods #but they keep dying (read: SJ keeps dying first and YQY either dies or sewerslides not soon after) and getting reset with no end in sight #until the last pages where the svsss timeline begins #SJ got replaced with SY and the system isn't letting YQY join him in death or smth nor letting him do anything about SY being there instead #And due to their closeness from being immensily tired from all the loops #YQY notices it immediately but can't do anything about it #the bonus for SY is that this timeline was very kind to LBH & co - 79 figured by now that keeping him in the sect and happy was their best #bet at staying alive - or well at least for longer #I'll continue this storyline in one of the future prompts of this qijiu week #btw the one with the cliff is just the whoopsie daisy timeline where SJ accidentally falls into the Abyss trying to keep LBH from falling i #79 had a bit of a good laugh about that one #cw death #cw violence #cw blood #cw angst

A reactionary comic about rereading a fic that I recently recommended that was way darker than I remembered, lol. I still love it for how they pretty much drive each other crazy, but that word choice and the consent issues... *cringes* At least there are valid warnings beforehand, and the first fic was pretty PG. Sorry. *laughs sheepishly*

#drawn by me #my fancomic #sort of a review of a fanfic #Death Note #lawlight #self portrait #Light Yagami #L #aggressive making out #it's just that I'm usually seen as maybe a couple steps below wholesome and felt weird about my recommendations after rereading them #and it was on fanfiction.net so they don't have the in depth tagging system that Ao3 has so there is a bit of blindness #but still thank goodness the author did provide warnings and actually recommended people skip certain chapters #L and Light are NOT nice to each other in Concerto in D Minor to say the least #that and Violins Light are still very influencial for me and for inspiring my love of these two driving each other to the edge of madness #and *spoilers* they don't even have sex in it! the majority of the explicitness is just from violence and non-consensual... torture touch?#it also follows my weird trend of starting off kind of silly to more serious when it comes to tone #and of course driving Light into a horrible crisis~#sorry for my lack of artistic activity. I'm still in the process of drawing the next installment of my fancomic #but I did wanna do this as a psuedo apology for my recommended fics. I was honestly shocked by how dark/brutal it gets lol #I do still recommend them if you can handle it. It’s honestly not the darkest thing I’ve read lol

Hey guess what. In 16 days I'm gonna be getting on a plane and flying to [country redacted] and sitting on a beach with my pals for a couple days.

#tho i did look up the temperature there yesterday and it was 29 C with like 85% humidity #which will be a bit of a shock to the system after winter in northern europe #obviously im happy and excited about this #but also im trying to wrap my head around uprooting my entire life again and saying a bunch of goodbyes and losing all my hard won routines #and then going home in like 6 weeks and having to figure out like. the rest of my life. cuz im graduating from my (first) bachelor's degree #at least i know absolutely for sure as of today that i have a job for the summer? so that's something.

ps i could be way off here but the impression i get is that ye olde nobility complaints about "oh no, too much royal favouritism" are usually really just complaints about "too much royal favouritism not directed at me personally" aren't they?

#your whole system of government depends on the whims on That One Guy why are you SHOCKED when he has whims you don't like?#this is a flaw in the system & i find it sus that you only get mad about this when you're not the ones being favoured.#it seems a bit like the wars of the roses owes a lot to richard of york getting mad at not getting enough nepotism jobs?#and sorry but if robert dudley can flirt his way to power i'm sure you can too lord whoever-you-are.#one or more of your sons has to be hot enough to attract the monarch right? come on this isn't rocket science!#history shitposting #but also i am right about this

one of my friends from college is the best I love her but she's just so richbrained yet believes herself to not be.. like be real u went to a private school that was eight grand a year 😭 i can't deal with the things that come out of her mouth sometimes as much as i cherish her. this other lad in the year ahead was saying to her before that he wouldn't have been able to go to college if he didn't get a scholarship and she was like repeating this to me like WOW. 🤯 really makes you think 🤔 never met anyone like that 🫶 like WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNN

#also she like loves to defend private education like there's this one thing she said that always sticks in my mind it was like #everyone would sent their kids to a 'good' aka private school if they had the chance... like don't u think it's a little bit crazy #that a good education should be through a 48k paywall. In ur case. Interesting like. but what do I know i only went to a deis school 🤯#it's si funny though whenever I talk abt getting out of my bubble as in interests n like cishet normativity they're all like so true #but they specifically mention being around poors likr they're like different economic backgrounds... 'Im so used to my south dublin bubble'#like yes girl we can tell. you're shocked by the fact I didn't understand the dublin public transport system at first or know what KPMG is.#anyways.

#before its not boston2's birthday anymore i have to make a sentimental little post about her. because i love her. so here goes.#that day actually kind of changed my life a little bit.#i had been very deeply unwell for years and i think that was the day that a little switch flipped in me and the ice began to melt #and i started to be okay.#i dont think i had ever experienced that type of sheer joy and elation and relief and catharsis and it just sortof sent a shock to my system #like. this is real! you are real! you are alive!#you are capable of feeling and existing and being so do it! go. exist. be. live. breathe. and god did i fucking try #and i cant say it was suddenly easy after that. of course not. it is still not quite easy now. but its gotten better. little by little #i started doing things more. i started seeing myself more as human.#and things sort of snowballed and now i feel like im on the cusp of something. i dont know what.#the cusp of living. the cusp of being alive. the cusp of being human.#its the same but different. i was so very dead and just barely teetering into not dead and now im not dead and teetering into alive. i think #i am not substantially different than i was a year ago. not on paper. but i have hope now. i have a little sliver of something.#i have clawed at the wall long enough to dig a hole and goddamn it im climbing through it if it kills me.#boston2 was a catalyst for me. a celebration. an invitation. an apology. a love letter. a hug. a kiss. it was my permission to be okay.#and maybe i am. maybe i will be.#i love you boston2. thank you for everything. i will exist. i will live. i will breathe. and my first breath will be for you.

The System Shock remake is excellent, fantastic.

But....

The music?

It's just...bleh. Completely unmemorable.

How could they get the game like 99% correct and then just drop ALL the iconic music compositions from the original?

Yes, the original game had 1994 MIDI tracks that kind of made your ears bleed, BUT that was simply the technological limitation they had to cope with. Many, many people have re-recorded or remixed the MIDI tracks with new instruments and they sound great.

But the remake just... didn't even bother. Weird.

Here's a playlist of a YouTuber that made his own versions of the SS1 soundtrack with the MIDI, and they sound great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxSd_g8vrnU&list=PLsUzRsxvwpYq_5nIrNt9sVgnvCUKaQwDg&index=1

And that's just one example of MANY.

#System Shock #surely they could have tried a bit harder with the music if they were willing to try really hard on literally everything else #the remake is great in every other area #not perfect

Things we already know about the UHC shooter, mostly from his social media:

- He has a bachelor’s and Master’s in computer science from an Ivy League school.

- He has read several books on chronic back pain.

- His profile banner includes a photo of an x-ray for back surgery. (Spinal fusion I believe.)

- Based on messages from his family, he dropped off the map a few months ago and they’ve been worried about him.

- His political beliefs are a bit all over the map; without doing a deep-dive my take is a pretty average centrist tech bro who’s read too much evopsych.

I’m a bit worried that, as the left is so fond of doing, people will turn on him immediately for that last part. Let’s not do that! Can we agree not to do that? Because here’s the important thing:

He’s a victim of the system, just like we all are. The system pushed him past his limits, and he lashed out at it. The details of his political leanings don’t actually matter - what matters is that you don’t have to be a radical leftist to lash out at a health insurance company. That’s shows how bad things are broken, that a guy who seems fairly privileged in most respects, with no strong political motive, could be beaten down and broken to the point of doing this. He has two Ivy League computer science degrees and yet had nothing left to lose.

This is a class war that doesn’t differentiate between the working class, middle class, even upper middle class. We’re all dog food for the 1% to chew up and spit out. Even if he turned out to be hardcore right wing, in this one single issue we’re united with him.

Everyone’s been talking about how this guy has seen insane levels of support across the political spectrum - which means nobody should be shocked that he could have come from any spot on that spectrum. I’m hoping the fact that he doesn’t seem super far left or right politically will make it easier to keep that unity, but the left just looooves our purity tests. Let’s maybe not this time.

#uhc shooter #united healthcare #united healthcare shooting #luigi mangione #oh right and he’s super hot we know that too #notes
