Quick question
I did some more academic reading about fandom and ...
Bonus points if you comment (or tag) where you heard the word "hoyay" and in which contexts you're using it.

Apparently there's currently discussion in science (humanities in particular) about whether video essays could be accepted as academic writing on par with the academic papers we currently have
I think that's awesome as fuck tbh

So called “researchers” when their funding is about to get cut.

god fucking dammit. fuck me running. okay. I'm watching the serialized version of Louhimies' Unknown Soldier because I literally have nothing else to do with my life and uh. when I found out the fandom is shipping Lehto and Riitaoja, I was like. okay purely based on the book sure sure yes I can see the potential for sexual tension between the two, they do have that weird polar-opposites-forced-to-interact kind of thing going on and they do get a good handful of scenes together building up that dynamic (and their death scenes being linked is a really beautiful detail too). I was a little taken aback by the fact that Hietanen and Rahikainen isn't a popular ship because their relationship is a lot more pronounced in the book and checks a lot of standard ship dynamic boxes, but seeing how they're not really portrayed as a duo in this adaptation at least (and I'm guessing the fandom feeds more on the visual media than the book itself?), it kinda makes sense ig.
...but holy fucking shit if the sexual tension isn't present in the TV show. it's straight up underlined is what it is. I had to watch the scene where riitaoja falls to the ground from exhaustion three times because I couldn't believe my gay old eyeballs. the fucking. gentleness with which lehto lifts him up after taking his anger out on him? the fuckibgbng. lingering almost regretful touch on his back as he starts stumbling forward????????? bit out of character even but oh my god. aku louhimies can rot for all i care but that man desperately wanted those two fictional soldiers to fuck. im giving him exactly one brownie point for that. (also i can't deny that this adaptation is a really beautiful one. worst person you know made a great piece of art type beat. devastating)

Nothing in the whole world drives me as crazy as the sight of people in movies/shows/other media fucking eating in the lab? It's even more reprehensible when it's a pathology/disease/tissue culture/bacterial lab, but for god's sake, people keep the damn sandwiches outside it's a lab coat, not an apron.

I'm not an extrovert. At all. In everyday life, I'm a yapper, sure, but I need someone to first assure me I am okay to yap, so I don't start conversations, even when I really want to join in sometimes! It's just the social anxiety acting up. God knows where from and why I lose a lot of my inhibitions when it comes to talking to people about music. I don't know where the confidence has suddenly sprung from. I've made a crazy amount of friends in musical circles, either just talking to people about common music or (since it is after all in music circles) talking to bands about their own music. I let out a sigh of relief any time an interaction goes well, because in truth it's going against my every instinct. I wish I could do that in everyday life
#like that's the point where we need to remind everyone around me that as much as I say#radio is 'a job'-- it's not 'my job' lol. I wish I was this interested in data science#but like. Honestly?? I'm not even a data scientist!? I answered a few questions about classical AI having come from a computer science back#background and now people are saying to me 'I know you're a data scientist and not a programmer' sir I am a computer scientist#what are you on about#and like I guess I get to google things and they're paying me so I'm not complaining but like I am not a data scientist#my biggest data scientist moment was when I asked 'do things in data science ever make sense???' and a bunch of data scientists went#'no :) Welcome to the club' ???????#why did I do a whole ass computer science degree then. Does anyone at all even want that anymore. Has everything in the realm of#computer science just been Solved. What of all the problems I learned and researched about. Which were cool. Are they just dead#Ugh the worst thing the AI hype has done rn is it has genuinely required everyone to pretend they're a data scientist#even MORE than before. I hate this#anyway; I wish I didn't hate it and I was curious and talked to many people in the field#like it's tragicomedy when every person I meet in music is like 'you've got to pursue this man you're a great interviewer blah blah blah'#and like I appreciate that this is coming from people who themselves have/are taking a chance on life#but. I kinda feel like my career does not exist anymore realistically so unless 1) commercial radio gets less shitty FAST#2) media companies that are laying off 50% of their staff miraculously stop or 3) Tom Power is suddenly feeling generous and wants#a completely unknown idiot to step into the biggest fucking culture show in the country (that I am in no way qualified for)#yeah there's very very little else. There's nothing else lol#Our country does not hype. They don't really care for who you are. f you make a decent connection with them musically they will come to you#Canada does not make heroes out of its talent. They will not be putting money into any of that. Greenlight in your dreams.#this is something I've been told (and seen) multiple times. We'll see it next week-- there are Olympic medallists returning to uni next wee#no one cares: the phrase is 'America makes celebrities out of their sportspeople'; we do not. Replace sportspeople with any public professi#Canada does not care for press about their musicians. The only reason NME sold here was because Anglophilia not because of music journalism#anyway; personal

Reading shit comics kind of sucks but at least I get the satisfaction of proving my own point w this
#like damn if i really was 100% right about this before i even knew what i was talking about#anyways one of the many many problems with new 52 wonder woman is the fact that diana isnt religious enough#also that azzarello and chiang are incapable of imagining a feminist utopia which is the original genre that wonder woman comics were based#in in the same way that batman for example is connected to the noir genre. and the mythological aspects of the og wonder woman comics were#in fact a common framing aspect of the feminist utopia genre of the progressive era (with many of the deeper greek mythology aspects being#established as the foremost ww genre later on)#anyways this failure to understand this layering of genres in the ww mythology i believe is the principle contributor of why this run which#is popular with many and has such a footprint in other more mainstream media is hated by so many longtime wonder woman fans in that it not#only neglects but actively goes against key parts of her premise#a comparison could be made to a superman run that is heavily based in science fiction and exploring deep sci fi genre plots without any#understanding by the creators of why it matters that superman is champion of the oppressed and disrespecting that core part of him by in#some ways making him actually go against that in service of the high sci fi genre plots and conflict#and then ofc to translate better in this reality this run would function like a can of worms in that while dc in comics would eventually#course correct back to the base version the public opinion would become divided and especially adaptations would need all the canon changes#from that run torn viciously out of their hands bc they refuse to LET IT GO#anyways yeah teehee i swore to someone id never read it but i needed it for fic research purposes unfortunately so i started it. only read 6#issues but meh. first one wasnt terrible tbh id read worse but after that i got much more unhappy#anyways they simply dont understand why people like the amazons or why people should like the amazons. which again is like half the freaking#point bc like. feminist utopia genre. but i digress#its bad but its bad in a way that proves me right about why its bad so at least theres that#someday when i post my rebirth ww fic ill post the analysis of nu52 ww and the comparison to the beat movement/ginsberg that ive got in my#drafts. finally get that A in comic book literary analysis#blah

Quick Question 3.0
I kind of like the quick question format as it is an interesting opportunity to get a live snipped of fandom(s). Anyways, another one is waiting for you:
Feel free to add more detail on why you like/despise the ending. (I know this discourse myself, but honestly, I feel like the general opinion about the ending did change quite a bit within the last few years.)

2010_07_18_3556 (1)c1 (1)rsz

2010_07_18_3556 (1)c1 (1)rsz by Jim Via Flickr: Research of Dimensional Entities in Australian Sky image captured with a Canon EOS 5D Mk II full frame sensor at 22Mp HD and cropped to image and resized as here. This is a capture of a visual sighting of a UAP ( possibly 4 units in close proximity ) as they cruise at less than 1 km altitude, "sight seeing" Earth. At times it was seen as a bright red sphere, then a disk on edge with windows around it. It came into view around 3 - 4 kilometers away, cruised slowly to the North N E until reaching the river, turned and followed the river for a half a kilometer then returned toward me ( South ) and then disappeared to the East. Interesting is that I photographed it from near to visual appearance until it was at the river (shot here on flickr) about a kilometer away, then as it was coming toward me and away to the East ( coast ) - no more shots came to be....??? I can't explain this. I have in the past had a problem with taking shots too close. To see videos of these:- www.youtube.com/user/orgasmictomato

Chapter Fic Disclaimer
Okay, so since I’m about to post chapter 1 of my fic I’ve been working on for a while, I want to make this disclaimer of sorts to make a few things clear to those who read it!
So the AU is a Conjoined Twin AU.
I have seen a few comments that are wary of such an idea, and for good reason! Historically, both in fiction and real life, such people have been posed more as a novelty than anything. I have taken great pains to avoid this.
So a few things I want everyone to know about this fic:
-First off, it has a happy ending. The entire thing may not be written yet, but I do know the entire plot start to end. There will be no track changes. It will end happily. Not bittersweet, not ‘happy in the afterlife,’ but truly happy. I guarantee that 100%.
-I have done research. I am not winging this! My goal is to be accurate and respectful. The thing is, however, that conjoined twins that have survived to adulthood AND have not been separated are exceedingly rare. It’s not exactly a topic with a huge wealth of resources to look into. And, seeing as every set of twins is unique, I have made some decisions that are pure speculation. I do work in the medical field and know quite a lot about biology, so it’s not being pulled from nowhere, but yes, an amount of extrapolation has to be done. I am continuing to research various topics as I write.
-This is still a story about Ingo and Emmet. Their lifestyle looks different, yes, and I enjoy going into that! But this is indeed a story about them as people. Their conjoined-ness isn’t used for shock and awe. They’re still the Subway Masters that everyone, both within the story and in the real world, knows and loves.
-On the other side of this coin, this is a story about Ingo and Emmet. It contains angst, tragedy, and a bit of horror. Of course there is also a boatload of healing, comfort, and happy things, but I cannot deny that they are the protagonists and they’ll go through some shit. The canon characters sure have! (Well, we know Ingo has.) A few chapters (my current guess is 3 out of some large, still unknown number) will be... Rough. I will tag and warn for everything. And no, this won’t be like... gratuitous and repetitive violence or anything perpetrated by ableist people or stuff like that. It’s really hard to explain without spoiling everything. (I have also worked to tone down my descriptors of injuries. I used to write really, really tragic stuff and I assist with surgeries as part of my job, sometimes it just led to a lot.) Please expect this story to make you sad sometimes though like I said, it all turns out good in the end.
-As always, I focus on human emotions, both the good and the bad and the resiliency of such. If you have read my other fics, it’ll be written in the same style. I will touch on very real feeling topics and reactions, but as I am not a fan of miscommunication, these characters are for the most part good at talking about things! And, as always, there is a huge focus on familial love <3 These characters matter to each other!
-Please... Remember that I’m a hobby writer and a person. :,) I am terribly, HORRIBLY nervous to post this fic because I am afraid I will mis-portray something and someone will get angry or hurt. If I mess up something, please be kind, okay? Absolutely let me know, but I ask you to not jump to the worst conclusions. Like I said, I am dealing with a lot of unknowns that even research cannot always fill. But believe me when I say I’m trying my absolute best and putting my all into this fic.
That is all, I just wanted to outline all of this for everyone! This is fiction, things happen and conflict occurs because there is a plot, but I am treating all these characters as fully rounded people and hope I am doing their story justice!
I will link this in the main AN of the fic and will add it on in a reblog to all of my update posts in the future. I will add onto this post via clearly noted edits if I need to as well.

My colleague made this to send people to the study we're conducting on whether people think the internet should be regulated. Feel free to use it and take the study! We'd love to hear your opinions :)
