Memento Rosa - year 1
it's been 1 year since I first came up with my Project Sekai ocs, Memento Rosa! ofc since Ennosuke was the first I had the idea of drawing him and cutely alluding to the other four ^^
Happy birthday boys!! And thank you all for supporting and reading Memento Rosa until now!! ^v^
#digital art#project sekai oc#original character#project sekai#Ennosuke Sumeragi#Memento Rosa#oh I wonder if that butterfly is a reference to a certain song's motif or something#I sure do hope that it isn't relevant to something horrible that happens in the future#oh well I guess we'll never know

javier realizing how much he cares for lloyd, how deep his loyalty to him runs, how ready he's to lie down his life for him, not because he's the son of his lord, not even really knowing exactly why he feels like that but just being absolutely certain that lloyd is his friend and he can't allow anything to harm him
And yet, why am I trying so hard to protect him? He had no way of knowing. But one thing was clear. It was a very simple matter. I want to protect him. Lloyd is my true master in my heart. Lloyd was his friend. And now, Javier wanted to protect Lloyd. He would sincerely protect him with everything he had.
he doesn't even know why!! he just knows that lloyd is his friend and his true master in his heart and that's!! more than enough for him to decide he's willing to put his life and everything he has in the line to protect him!! i'm just!!
#i talk a lot <3#tged#the greatest estate developer#javier asrahan#lloyd frontera#llojavi#yes i'm tagging it#javier: uh i wonder why i care so much for lloyd to the point i'm ready to die for him and consider him the most important person in my lif#javier: what could possibly be the reason. oh well guess we'll never know.#me: well i have a theory but everyone has to get real cool about a bunch of stuff really quickly#and the thing that gets to me. is that javier already knows lloyd is his friend. that's not the question. he knows lloyd is his friend#he outright acknowledges it in his thoughts right after thinking he doesn't know why he's so willing to risk everything for lloyd#so like. mmhh.#javier wonders why he cares so much for lloyd. he outright says he doesn't know the reason. then immediately thinks it doesn't matter#because lloyd is his friend and so he has to protect him. so obviously lloyd being his friend is not the answer to his question#because he's already acknowledging that to himself. and we know it's not out of duty because he already knows that lloyd is a fake#so if it's not duty. and it's not just lloyd being his friend. then what other reason is there for javier to feel so strongly about lloyd.#i wonder.#ch 320

on one hand I'm kinda like....duh what are y'all so upset about, we been knew. but on the other hand...thinking about what it would take to pick yuri on ice back up again now that it's been officially put down, kinda makes my heart hurt. I don't know if there's ever going to be a path forward for this series that had so much potential left.
Mostly, I'm annoyed with the announcement. Really vague language about unspecified circumstances. I wish they would be straight with it because there are numerous reasons that could've contributed to the decision not to move forward. The prevalence of Russian skaters, the issues with and reorganization of the studio, the amount of time that's passed and the acquisition of more relevant projects. But I guess there's less to talk about and less blowback the less you say? Or maybe just not enough people care anymore.
I don't feel like we're missing anything with what we have exactly, so I've never been that cut up about the show not continuing. but no other piece of media has ever meant as much to me as yoi does. probably a lot of that is how much space is left in the story for more. I don't know, I don't feel like I should be upset but I'm feeling upset man. Just a little bit of silly grief for my favorite media of all time being unceremoniously cancelled....
after 5 years of radio silence tho so like, what did we expect. it's been over.
#yoi#yuri on ice#yuri!!! on ice#i was never that excited for ice ado im gonna be honest#so that probably contributes to my meh attitude#i always wanted a season 2#but this is kind of the nail in the coffin for that too so#my heart kinda hurts yall#what's that about#I'm really not trying to be dramatic about it#but it's kind of like the air in the room just changed a little#i know we were being strung along but#now it's like we're out on our own#now it's like#officially a thing of the past#and we'll always only be looking backwards#kinda weird#i don't like it#but oh well i guess....#i wish i could stop feeling sad

damn. i knew zack's voice direction was bad in crisis core reunion, but man, it was truly awful. wtf went wrong, seriously? i know they wanted to be faithful to the original, but fuck's sake.
zack sounds so fucking good in rebirth!!! just like i figured he would!
i feel so bad for caleb pierce. he's gotten nothing but hate for years, and it's almost entirely to blame on shitty voice direction. yes he sounds different than the old zack. but now we get to hear his full potential, and i think he does the character justice.
i really hope we get to hear a lot more of him in part 3, because his performance in rebirth is great.
#what's even more screwed is that#they managed to take the ONE line that sounds cringey out of context... and put it in a trailer.#like. cut the poor guy some slack!! literally any other line would have been praised!!!! wtffff#uuUGHHhh#sorry. just. always been really sour about how people have treated zack's new english VA.#i mean there have literally been petitions to try and get him fired/replaced.#i always suspected it was just bad voice direction but i had no idea just how bad it really was#and rebirth confirmed that for me. zack sounds good.#...y'all ain't ready to admit that rick gomez was... just ok. not legendary#(and that's probably also to blame on the VD. oh well. guess we'll never really know...)#sigghhhh#ffvii rebirth spoilers#rebirth spoilers#zack fair

they rejected my application :(
#i mean i knew that they were going to. i literally do not have the degree they want#but sometimes it feels as if people in this field don't take me seriously because im young lol#like they assume that my experience just Does Not Apply because im not in my 40s#its fine. i never told anyone irl i applied for the job so i don't have to worry about that (ty past me) (i almost said it like 10 times)#when the time comes for me to REALLY start job hunting ill start taking rejections more personally but this was a good experience i think#them giving me a rejection at all and not just ghosting me was actually a huge relief tbh#am i supposed to respond to the rejection email? i guess i will?#dont burn your bridges etc#it feels a little weird saying ty for the opportunity when they didn't even interview me#but this whole corporate bullshit is just empty tradition at this point so whatever#anyway the GOOD news is that my really big name reference told my current boss (as a joke but still) that he wanted to steal me from her#he works for the state which would be an INCREDIBLE opportunity if he was in any way serious#so when the time comes ill be casually mentioning to him that im job hunting and we'll see where it goes#literally every conference ive been to people know his name and ask where he is so im hoping he will have enough pull to let a fresh grad in#two different people (both also rather big names in the field) have told me that he thinks really highly of me#and while working with him was a little bit like pulling teeth i don't really have the option to be choosy rn lol#anyways. im disappointed but not surprised#it was a remote position too :( oh well

You're a reasonably informed person on the internet. You've experienced things like no longer being able to get files off an old storage device, media you've downloaded suddenly going poof, sites and forums with troves full of people's thoughts and ideas vanishing forever. You've heard of cybercrime. You've read articles about lost media. You have at least a basic understanding that digital data is vulnerable, is what I'm saying. I'm guessing that you're also aware that history is, you know... important? And that it's an ongoing study, requiring ... data about how people live? And that it's not just about stanning celebrities that happen to be dead? Congratulations, you are significantly better-informed than the British government! So they're currently like "Oh hai can we destroy all these historical documents pls? To save money? Because we'll digitise them first so it's fine! That'll be easy, cheap and reliable -- right? These wills from the 1850s will totally be fine for another 170 years as a PNG or whatever, yeah? We didn't need to do an impact assesment about this because it's clearly win-win! We'd keep the physical wills of Famous People™ though because Famous People™ actually matter, unlike you plebs. We don't think there are any equalities implications about this, either! Also the only examples of Famous People™ we can think of are all white and rich, only one is a woman and she got famous because of the guy she married. Kisses!"
Yes, this is the same Government that's like "Oh no removing a statue of slave trader is erasing history :(" You have, however, until 23 February 2024 to politely inquire of them what the fuck they are smoking. And they will have to publish a summary of the responses they receive. And it will look kind of bad if the feedback is well-argued, informative and overwhelmingly negative and they go ahead and do it anyway. I currently edit documents including responses to consultations like (but significantly less insane) than this one. Responses do actually matter. I would particularly encourage British people/people based in the UK to do this, but as far as I can see it doesn't say you have to be either. If you are, say, a historian or an archivist, or someone who specialises in digital data do say so and draw on your expertise in your answers. This isn't a question of filling out a form. You have to manually compose an email answering the 12 questions in the consultation paper at the link above. I'll put my own answers under the fold. Note -- I never know if I'm being too rude in these sorts of things. You probably shouldn't be ruder than I have been.
Please do not copy and paste any of this: that would defeat the purpose. This isn't a petition, they need to see a range of individual responses. But it may give you a jumping-off point.
Question 1: Should the current law providing for the inspection of wills be preserved?
Yes. Our ability to understand our shared past is a fundamental aspect of our heritage. It is not possible for any authority to know in advance what future insights they are supporting or impeding by their treatment of material evidence. Safeguarding the historical record for future generations should be considered an extremely important duty.
Question 2: Are there any reforms you would suggest to the current law enabling wills to be inspected?
No.
Question 3: Are there any reasons why the High Court should store original paper will documents on a permanent basis, as opposed to just retaining a digitised copy of that material?
Yes. I am amazed that the recent cyber attack on the British Library, which has effectively paralysed it completely, not been sufficient to answer this question for you. I also refer you to the fate of the Domesday Project. Digital storage is useful and can help more people access information; however, it is also inherently fragile. Malice, accident, or eventual inevitable obsolescence not merely might occur, but absolutely should be expected. It is ludicrously naive and reflects a truly unpardonable ignorance to assume that information preserved only in digital form is somehow inviolable and safe, or that a physical document once digitised, never need be digitised again..At absolute minimum, it should be understood as certain that at least some of any digital-only archive will eventually be permanently lost. It is not remotely implausible that all of it would be. Preserving the physical documents provides a crucial failsafe. It also allows any errors in reproduction -- also inevitable-- to be, eventually, seen and corrected. Note that maintaining, upgrading and replacing digital infrastructure is not free, easy or reliable. Over the long term, risks to the data concerned can only accumulate.
"Unlike the methods for preserving analog documents that have been honed over millennia, there is no deep precedence to look to regarding the management of digital records. As such, the processing, long-term storage, and distribution potential of archival digital data are highly unresolved issues. [..] the more digital data is migrated, translated, and re-compressed into new formats, the more room there is for information to be lost, be it at the microbit-level of preservation. Any failure to contend with the instability of digital storage mediums, hardware obsolescence, and software obsolescence thus meets a terminal end—the definitive loss of information. The common belief that digital data is safe so long as it is backed up according to the 3-2-1 rule (3 copies on 2 different formats with 1 copy saved off site) belies the fact that it is fundamentally unclear how long digital information can or will remain intact. What is certain is that its unique vulnerabilities do become more pertinent with age." -- James Boyda, On Loss in the 21st Century: Digital Decay and the Archive, Introduction.
Question 4: Do you agree that after a certain time original paper documents (from 1858 onwards) may be destroyed (other than for famous individuals)? Are there any alternatives, involving the public or private sector, you can suggest to their being destroyed?
Absolutely not. And I would have hoped we were past the "great man" theory of history. Firstly, you do not know which figures will still be considered "famous" in the future and which currently obscure individuals may deserve and eventually receive greater attention. I note that of the three figures you mention here as notable enough to have their wills preserved, all are white, the majority are male (the one woman having achieved fame through marriage) and all were wealthy at the time of their death. Any such approach will certainly cull evidence of the lives of women, people of colour and the poor from the historical record, and send a clear message about whose lives you consider worth remembering.
Secondly, the famous and successsful are only a small part of our history. Understanding the realities that shaped our past and continue to mould our present requires evidence of the lives of so-called "ordinary people"!
Did you even speak to any historians before coming up with this idea?
Entrusting the documents to the private sector would be similarly disastrous. What happens when a private company goes bust or decides that preserving this material is no longer profitable? What reasonable person, confronted with our crumbling privatised water infrastructure, would willingly consign any part of our heritage to a similar fate?
Question 5: Do you agree that there is equivalence between paper and digital copies of wills so that the ECA 2000 can be used?
No. And it raises serious questions about the skill and knowledge base within HMCTS and the government that the very basic concepts of data loss and the digital dark age appear to be unknown to you. I also refer you to the Domesday Project.
Question 6: Are there any other matters directly related to the retention of digital or paper wills that are not covered by the proposed exercise of the powers in the ECA 2000 that you consider are necessary?
Destroying the physical documents will always be an unforgivable dereliction of legal and moral duty.
Question 7: If the Government pursues preserving permanently only a digital copy of a will document, should it seek to reform the primary legislation by introducing a Bill or do so under the ECA 2000?
Destroying the physical documents will always be an unforgivable dereliction of legal and moral duty.
Question 8: If the Government moves to digital only copies of original will documents, what do you think the retention period for the original paper wills should be? Please give reasons and state what you believe the minimum retention period should be and whether you consider the Government’s suggestion of 25 years to be reasonable.
There is no good version of this plan. The physical documents should be preserved.
Question 9: Do you agree with the principle that wills of famous people should be preserved in the original paper form for historic interest?
This question betrays deep ignorance of what "historic interest" actually is. The study of history is not simply glorified celebrity gossip. If anything, the physical wills of currently famous people could be considered more expendable as it is likely that their contents are so widely diffused as to be relatively "safe", whereas the wills of so-called "ordinary people" will, especially in aggregate, provide insights that have not yet been explored.
Question 10: Do you have any initial suggestions on the criteria which should be adopted for identifying famous/historic figures whose original paper will document should be preserved permanently?
Abandon this entire lamentable plan. As previously discussed, you do not and cannot know who will be considered "famous" in the future, and fame is a profoundly flawed criterion of historical significance.
Question 11: Do you agree that the Probate Registries should only permanently retain wills and codicils from the documents submitted in support of a probate application? Please explain, if setting out the case for retention of any other documents.
No, all the documents should be preserved indefinitely.
Question 12: Do you agree that we have correctly identified the range and extent of the equalities impacts under each of these proposals set out in this consultation? Please give reasons and supply evidence of further equalities impacts as appropriate.
No. You appear to have neglected equalities impacts entirely. As discussed, in your drive to prioritise "famous people", your plan will certainly prioritise the white, wealthy and mostly the male, as your "Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin and Princess Diana" examples amply indicate. This plan will create a two-tier system where evidence of the lives of the privileged is carefully preserved while information regarding people of colour, women, the working class and other disadvantaged groups is disproportionately abandoned to digital decay and eventual loss. Current and future historians from, or specialising in the history of minority groups will be especially impoverished by this.

GUYS I FIGURED OUT THE SECRET TO BEING CURIOUS ABOUT PEOPLE!!!! As in having questions to ask them about themselves,,
You see, you can search up "questions to get to know people" but it's not very useful when you don't know why to ask those things in particular. What is "getting to know" someone, anyway? What do you need to know? Why do you need to know those things, it's kinda unclear and unexplained. Nobody gives any consistent answers?? The secret is that it's strategic!! You're finding out their tastes so you can know how to make them happy!!
When you ask what their favorite color is, you're asking what color should be prominent in gifts you make/buy them, down the line when you have a reason to get them gifts! When you ask what their favorite food is, you're asking where you should invite them to go to lunch when you find yourself wanting to hang out with them more down the line! When you ask them if they have siblings, you're thinking about how people attribute certain personality traits to family structure, so you're asking them how they tend to act and maybe you're basing how you act around them off of that!
It's not random trivia you memorize for no reason, it's all knowledge you apply later!!
Personally this kinda changes everything for me. I don't really like memorizing things for the sake of it, but I love applying techniques and doing stuff with what I've learned. It's why I tend to like math rather than science (AS SCHOOL SUBJECTS), because science in school is taught as just memorizing stuff w/o learning to use most of it. Plus, I think people are expected to know and apply this knowledge - they're just not told it explicitly.
#literally all my life i've been the most socially uncurious person ever which is. embarrassing#partially bc i had/have low self-esteem and I could never kick the idea that they'd feel as uncomfortable being asked questions as I did/do#maybe a bit because I always figured they'd answer and ask me the same question and as I said I was uncomfortable talking about myself#and I've never been in an environment where people were trying to get to know me while still clearly liking/not hating me#at least it's never felt like I have. This is very new to me.#but also partially bc of this!! I didn't know there was a point to asking all those trivial questions!!#I just thought it went oh what's your favorite color? green? cool#I guess that filled the silence for a second. now we'll never think about this again#but that's not true!! It's for a purpose!!#i feel like someone should have told me this... oh well
