Mmmmm okay but honest question tho
The KOSA regulations would need to be implemented even if the companies offer their services only outside of the country? 🤔 And if they are established on another country and offer its services to usa, they need to implement the regulations right?
Because like, I was thinking of how mihoyo moved from china to avoid the censorship regulations globally, for example
And like, couldnt then social media companies preassure the goverment about doing that too, then
Like, even if they had to censor stuff for usa, they would be losing a lot of potential interactions because of the content theyre hiding, so if they had to censor everything in case of being established in usa (even if it is content being shown outside of the country), wouldnt it be better for them to just move the company to another country then. To continue having those extra interactions from "censored posts" shown to other countries.
Or even, if the cost of filtering the posts was too high, its possible some companies would choose to not offer their services to usa anymore. Idk how taxes to big companies work in those cases, but that would be a loss for them in the long term too right.
Like, isnt the whole bill a bad idea even commercially?
And couldnt it happen that companies publish a statement about getting out of the country in case the regulations were stablished?
#kids online safety act#kosa bill#stop kosa#politics#capitalism#I mean. spotify did a statement here about the changes in copyright laws#threatening to not offer their services anymore because they didnt want to pay extra#for example#so like. couldnt social media companies also do that in usa. about internet regulations#its a honest question#or are they scared of losing their conservative users. as they may talk shit about the company because of refusing the regulations?#or could it be fear of retaliation from the government/cia/stuff??? wouldnt it just be better for them all to move out of the country then#I just think its lowkey weird how the companies that would be affected by this regulations have been staying silent#are they just confident the bill wont pass then#lmao#long post

"Who is Ai Di to you?"
Nat Chen as CHEN YI KISEKI: DEAR TO ME (2023)
#kiseki: dear to me#kisekiedit#kdtm#kiseki dear to me#ai di x chen yi#chen yi x ai di#nat chen#chen bowen#louis chiang#chiang tien#jiang dian#uservid#userspring#userspicy#userrain#userjjessi#usernuria#*cajedit#*gif#flashing gif#GREAT question zherui. the answer is. everything! hope this helps <3#kk and i talked a ton about chen yi last night and we were saying#that there is a very specific part of both chen yi and ai di that cant fathom not being their whole selves in front of each other#even when their feelings are buried deep they cling to each other cuz being without the other is like missing your other half#but then also. they're too close to each other to see what's really there (specifically from chen yi's side of things)#he cant imagine not being honest with ai di but its in such a way that he still doesnt know how to identify the source of what he's feeling#because...it's ai di.#and it's Always chen yi and ai di. thats just what their lives are LIKE.#so it's easier to not put much thought into it. to fixate and project those feelings on their boss.#but it was never gonna last!! ...everyone say thanks ai di for the pain. it was needed </3

world's most annoying man is not allowed outside due to his inability to shut up
#AYYYY LIGHTS OUT IS BACK BABEY LETS GO#howdy is Suffering in this au ive come to realize#more so than i previously thought!#he's cooped up in a slightly too small shell of a building#rarely allowed outside bc hes too noisy </3#mans is desperately Understimmed#wally isnt trying to be harsh hes just asking an honest & earnest question <3#i have another scribble floating around somewhere of wally putting his hand over howdy's mouth and saying Hush#i think its a funny running joke. everyone is constantly like 'howdy please for the love of fuck. shut up'#he strikes me as the type to talk when nervous. and bored. and excited. hes a talker tell me im wrong#scribble salad#wh lights out au#welcome home au#hes BORED hes with the (objectively) Unfunniest neighbors hes BORED did i mention hes BORED#howdy: *stuffing pouring out of him after getting maimed* this is actually much better than being in the post office#frank: we're going to put you on a leash i swear to fucking god

Saw a Take earlier today like "Ed stans have only 1 argument and it's accusing everyone who likes Izzy of being problematic" or something to that effect
and it made me think "Nah babe, you're not problematic. You're just wrong."
And then I thought. Huh. Why do I think that?
It's a perfectly respectable thing to read a text in a way it wasn't intended to be read. In fact, "reading against the grain", doing critical readings, shifting perspectives when engaging with a text - all of thee are important skills! You can, and should, do feminist, antiracist, postcolonial, queer, etc readings of texts that were never intended to be read that way. Hell, all fandom (often) is, is doing queer readings! Ask the text uncomfortable questions it doesn't want to answer!
However. It's pretty difficult to do a queer reading when the text already is a queer narrative. The questions you would ask the text if you did a queer reading, or a reading focused on gender roles, or similar things - those are questions the text is already actively exploring.
If you want to do a subversive reading of a text that is already quite subversive - what do you end up with?
"What's the story like from Izzy's perspective?" is a question ofmd deliberately doesn't focus too much on because Izzy's perspective is the default and ofmd wants to challenge that. There's a reason the angry white man is the antagonist in this show, and if you ask "Okay, but could he be right though?" you're missing the point.
Or rather, you're turning everything that's interesting about ofmd back around. You're asking "Okay, but why don't we focus on a white perspective that strictly adheres to oppressive power structures?" of a narrative who already asked itself this question and gave the answer "Because that's been done enough and there are other stories worth telling."
And I think people are aware of that, which is how we end up with completely bizarre takes like "Izzy has the only queer character arc". He hasn't, but he has the only arc that a queer reading can be done on - for everyone else it's text, plain and simple. Refusing to engage with that text in favour of centering Izzy is basically doing a heteronormative reading without being willing to admit it to yourself.
And no, interpreting Izzy as a queer man doesn't change that.
#its not about your headcanon its about the questions you ask the text!!!#'do the people who abuse and bully stede have a point?'#no says the text. NEVER. theres nothing wrong with being a gnc weirdo.#if you want to answer yes - okay why? why do you think the text is wrong in answering no?#'is ed changing how he acts and presents himself behaviour that needs to be corrected?'#no says the text. a lot what we are taught about being a man is wrong.#again. if your answer is yes. ask yourself why.#and so on. like im not saying youre committing a thought crime just. be honest about what your interpretation is actually asking yk#our flag means death#izzy hands#thoughts#the izcourse

naninyu naglalaro nga lang po sila 🥺
#kapsyon translesyon: “fuck you i told you that they're just playing 🥺” (polite form)#there's a polite way to say “you” in tagalog but its just the plural ones. like if you're asking who's knockin#you say politely “sino po sila” (who-polite particle-they (plural) even if its just 1 person#impolite or angry sounding is “sino ka (ba)” (who-you-(question particle) - “who the hell are you?”)#also tagalog 3rd-person pronoun (siya) is technically they? but it encompasses he and she as well.#nito/ito used as a pronoun? just means “this thing” (ie. Nawala ni Isa ang kaniyang hikaw kaya naghahanap ito ng bago)#“Isa lost her earrings so (she/this thing) is looking for a new one”#sorry this turned into a tagalog lesson i love 2 talk abt my native language#can i be honest with you i could not stop smiling while drawing this . i love fighting and stabbing and punching#dungeon meshi fanart#dungeon meshi#dunmeshi#toshiro nakamoto#laios touden#laishuro#laishiro

“what does sheik actually do in this au” fair question. everything

realized a drawing i'm doing rn is almost identically posed to one i did 8.5 years ago of a different oc, except the old drawing was instantly tainted by one of the players featured messaging me asking if i could take it down because their abusive, possessive rp partner saw it and got jealous of them "roleplaying behind their back" and i said "nah" and it became a whole Thing that i should have walked away from at that exact moment but didn't and the 6 months that followed contained some of the most truly condensed batshit i have ever witnessed in an rp community already well-known for its batshittery.
... anyway i love my friends. so happy to accidentally redeem the pose.
#idk if ill ever open up completely about that shitshow but#i think 8 years is past the statute of limitations to vaguepost about it#late tag addition but man now i'm thinking about it all at 4am#how did in the good goddamn did i witness that and still not only let them make me an officer#but also let them put me functionally in charge of their guild IC#while those two fucked off and erped in instanced zones or played overwatch#and i and my then-rp-partner took the heat for the meandering plotline#until my partner vented to the wrong person about the abuse#and it got back to them#and we got to experience the surreality of an honest to god guild coup#all to salvage the image of some egomaniac abuser#certified fucking wra moment#its been 8 years and thinking about how i was treated in the end makes me feel sick lol#they made a new guild discord and invited everyone but us#and when i noticed the channel had gone quiet i asked what was up#and was met with gaslighting about how i'm 'thinking too much' about the channel being a 'little slow'#and it took pushing to get an early admission of what was about to happen#so we logged on and quit ourselves#which fucked up the narrative they had constructed#and they lied in the new channel that WE were the ones doing a 'coup' and that we stole the members who left with us#i guess i am opening up after all#i had to play the fucking villain of that scenario for the past 8 years#all to protect the mental health of people who hurt me#why#if you were there and know what i'm referencing with all of this... there's the fucking story#the person in question is a massively popular artist#i just dont have it in me to fight that fight

HELPP i found out about character AIs and im losing it over calling deltarune sans "a more manipulative personality" 😭😭 like whatt we've only seen this man like 2 times
sorry im being a hater hgfjdks but you're the sans understander
lmaoo character.ai, look where the fall of ai dungeon got us, smh. thank you for the compliment though!
#i think those ai chaeracter rps are goofy as hell#i've played around with them a few times to see what it was all about. they play up the personalization too much it's not THAT customizable#i tried feeding it some sans lines back when i was doing the rp to see if the machine was capable of identifying his speaking style#since i'd essentially done the same thing just manually. i wanted to see how good it could get it#huge disappointment as predicted#i WILL give character.ai one thing though. hilariously not for its characters. there's this one tool called brainstorming that's super hand#you throw ideas/concepts at it & it throws back clarifying questions based on what you sent in. like playing tennis against a wall#essentially a dynamic version of those writing tip lists like what's the significance of this event for x. what conflict arises etc#optimally this is stuff you do with a friend. and truly nothing beats brainstorming with another writer. honest.#but if you're fully throwing spaghetti at the wall in the roughest stages of an idea it's a quick way to cycle through some basic what-ifs#pretty fun toy all things considered. but it stops being useful the moment things start shaping up forreal#answered asks

Hello! I just discovered your blog and I immediately became captivated by your webcomic, but I'm unsure where to read all of it. I know it's on Webtoons, but I can see it hasn't been updated for a while, and you still post about it.
Are your physical novels just prints of the webcomic? Are they a continuation? Is the story complete? Thanks in advance!
Hi there!
Glad you found me and are enjoying my comic!
It's only on webtoons, and the story is not complete yet! We're 2/3 of the way through right now. It's currently on hiatus, and it's scheduled to come back in about 2 months!
I'll explain why it's been so long if you're curious, but also for my followers who might also be wondering about it under the cut. Sorry, it's pretty much just me complaining haha
I took a month off I took 2 months to get the books printed I took a month to prepare my next comic and I took 2 months to write the rest of the series (I knew the character arcs I wanted, but not the time periods or mysteries!!!) I've been working on actual episodes since then
I had to take some time off because of some pretty extreme burnout due to the sheer amount of work it was to draw over 800 pages and write 6 complete stories in a year and a half... I was getting sick almost weekly due to the overwork, it was really really bad honestly. I was having to work 60+ hours every week just to keep up...
The nature of the comic itself is also difficult... Each of the arcs is a complete, self contained story which can be read (ideally) without context, and my arcs need to be about 10-13 episodes each... And since I have an exact number of episodes to work with, it's even harder.
It takes a ton of planning and a ton of refinement, and working week to week with no breaks I was forced to put out second or even first drafts, so I just wasn't happy with the work I was doing... And to do that for the rest of the series? I wouldn't be proud of the work I did.
Plus... To be entirely honest, webtoon has treated me quite badly IN MY OPINION... They deprioritized me before I launched (I had to beg for more promotion, I'm not exaggerating), they outright denied me the opportunity to even ask for a raise, I don't make any money on fast pass and they pay me less than my partner makes working at trader joes. My first editor left me completely hanging, my second editor (who I loved) was fired... And they told me I wouldn't get a third season before my first season even finished. So it was just repeatedly completely demoralizing.
I'm sorry it has taken so long, it'll have been 10 months by the time I come back. But I realized... I won't get promotion either way. I won't get more episodes either way. I won't get more money either way. So to finish everything, to make it feel good, to make it something I'm proud of, I chose to take longer to make it better.
I am fully aware I will lose a significant amount of my readership for this and it might genuinely affect my career moving forward. But it's what I had to do! So I'm sticking to my guns on it, and I'm confident long term it'll be worth it. It never could have been this good if I didn't take this much time.
#asks#steakandpeanutbuttersandwiches#I'm SO sorry youre new and you asked me such a benign question and I responded with... this... LMAO#I swear to god I tried to make it as short as possible#theres just a lot auauuaghkhgjk#basically. way too much work. not enough money.#so it either is gonna be good and take longer or be worse but come back faster#and I chose to take longer#so.#I'm really sorry and I wish that this decision didn't also come with the... pretty much guarantee that it will negatively impact my career.#I will lose readers. I will lose potential readers for my future work. it looks bad on me as a creator to take such a big break. etc. etc.#but it's good. it's so good. you have to trust me it's like the best stuff Ive ever written#it. ok well to be honest#it'll probably feel extremely simple and extremely natural#but it's been SO much work LMAO#I am not exaggerating I have written over 200 pages of scapped ideas to get to where it is#I'm sure it won't make sense why it took so long while reading but you gotta trust me LMAO#ideally it doesnt even 'feel' different right. cause its gotta be cohesive with the whole thing#but there is SO MUCH TO WRAP UP#THERES SO MUCH#and to make that feel natural in this little space oh my GOD it is so hard#ok omfg I'm doing it again I'm going on way too long again IM SO SORRY#YOURE NEW HERE AND IM DOING THIS IMMEDIATELy#this is like 90% for my followers who I know are curious about this and I'm just using you as a jumping off point to talk about it#cause I don't really like to make standalone posts very often#I likely will make some kind of official announcement about it when the date is extremely set in stone#right now I think it's still only tentatively scheduled so it could still change#and I'll say something more... refined and restrained... then.#but for now this is like. actually everything. I think#I'm sure I forgot something but whatever lmfao

experience of opening the polyamory tag on tumblr:
-“ummm my boyfriend actually pressured me to be in a polycule so i can say whatever i want about polyamorous people”
-“erm akshually threatening to kill your partner for suggesting polyamory is normal and good. it’s just a joke guys”
-“OBVIOUSLY I support poly people but they aren’t QUEER…why are polyamorous people so mad at me”
-*hazbin hotel ships*
-“polyamorous people are just like Mormons 🙄”
-“you all are so SENSITIVE I should be able to make jokes about KILLING you you’re just whiny BABIES”
-*harry potter ships*
-“um well I haven’t seen people being polyphobic so maybe you’re all Actually chronically online and need to go touch Grass”
-“just a reminder that monogamy is valid you guys <3”
-*two actual posts about being polyamorous*
#I think I blocked like a dozen new people scrolling back. two days#polyamory#queer#polyamourous#anyways I adore my two girlfriends and all of you can go fuck yourselves#look I’ll be honest about that poll#I feel like it was always going to go badly#it’s not a good faith question#its like asking ‘what would you do if your son came out as gay’#queerphobia

so i love this single line of dialogue so so much because i love how he cuts himself off when he starts being unintentionally too honest. he was 100% going to say, “it’s nothing compared to you,” or some variation of it, but he stops himself short and even does a “well, uh,” (he almost never uses these placeholders for thoughts. he always has his retorts ready and his silver tongue never really fails him.) before he insinuates he’d rather have fed off you
#bg3 spoilers#bg3#astarion#astarion acunin#tag what u think he wZ gonna say#im stuck between#it’s nothing compared to yours my dear#or just a generic#its nothing compared to a thinking things blood#but with the way he like backtracked#i think he was about to be too honest🤭#ALSO#he really only uses placeholders like uh and um#when u question him about plans and such#bc he is NOT. a planner
