[luzho]

28.03.24 i'm a traitor: i got wireless earpods….. anyway........

ladybug / jutes: i've been shamazing a lot of stuff. and i liked hearing a couple of songs of this album the other day, it captures the rocky band vibes perfectly in my opinion

fences / destroy boys: yeah! destroy them!! ah ahh ah ahhhh! this one i stole from my brother's spotify. let's all give him a round of applause for introducing me to good and new music every now and then

coming / david motion: from the end credits of 'orlando' (1992), what a funky journey that was!! this sounds perfect for being free at last.... i was also gonna download the end credits of 'fargo' (1996) but i wasnt convinced to keep them as a song to actually listen to, u know?

reckless chance / milky chance: a friend introduced me to milky chance in high school, but i lost the files ages ago. so when this song started on the radio the other day, i instantly recognized the vocals and It All Came Back To Me. but this one feels a tad different, maybe a bit more electronic? not sure, gotta listen to the old stuff again

star walkin' / lil nas x: i trust and respect him as an artist, but please dont release those tiktok audios of songs that will take MONTHS to release in full nas:( but i forgive him because he got a buzzcut and he looks amazing. also unrelated, is orville peck releasing new music?? im EXCITED as well for that

9 people you'd like to get to know better

Tagged by @breserker hello

Three ships:

Odd/Sam K. (Code Lyoko) - they've been on my mind the most lately. She doesn't appear often but I like the side of Odd we get to see when she's around, and I like her, and they like each other, and it's great.

Komi/Tadano (Komi Can't Communicate) - they're both sweet and really cute together and I got excited when they confessed to each other.

Marinette/Adrien (Miraculous Ladybug) - I've liked them since the start of the show and I've enjoyed seeing the newer seasons explore the different pairings in the love square.

First ever ship: I'm sure there were romantic pairings I liked in media I watched/read as a kid, but I can't think what they would have been. But if we're talking around the time I discovered fandom, that would be Ulumi and Jerlita from Code Lyoko. I still like and ship both to some extent and with some caveats, but I don't really do much with them in fandom at the moment.

Last song: Choose Your Fighter by Ava Max, because it's the last song on the Barbie soundtrack. Thinking about getting the deluxe edition but kinda miffed that that's a thing. If I'd known they would leave some songs off the original album just to release them on another CD a while later, I would have waited to get it >:T Anyway the whole soundtrack is great.

Currently reading:

The Books of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin - I recently finished Tehanu and Tales From Earthsea is next. Decided to give it a shot after seeing positive reviews and they were right, it is a good series set in a really unique world.

Ghost Hunters Adventure Club: The Secret of the Grande Chateau by Dr. Cecil H.H. Mills - also heard good things about it, but I've only just started it.

Jackrabbit and the Beast: A Jackrabbit Brujo Tale by Bre Garcia - just finished reading recently, and so should you, it is good :3 :3 :3

Currently watching: Rewatching BBC Merlin with @dialovers, and slowly getting through Our Flag Means Death season 2.

Currently consuming: Yoghurt with fruit

Currently craving: Chicken parmigiana pie from Heatherbrae's. Their whole gluten free range is just 👌 but that one's my favourite. If you live in NSW I'd definitely recommend seeing if they have a shop near you.

Poetry & AI

Something that I have been interested in is using Chat GPT to write poetry. During my time at Gonzaga, I have really gotten into reading and writing poetry. I know for many people in jobs such as marketing, or really anything artistic, AI is a big concern in terms of job security. I think experimenting with Chat GPT and other forms of AI to create something artistic is really interesting, because despite it being created by a highly intelligent software, us as people can still feel the lack of humanness in its work. For example, in my poetry class last year, we were assigned to create a poem using a set list of restrictions and words. Before writing my poem, I used Chat GPT to write one using the list of constraints. Not going to lie, my poem wasn’t great, but Chat GPT’s was pretty terrible. AI was unable to take the words I was inputting and using them to create meaning. There would be some pretty awkward phrases, and the computer wrote the poem using a very basic form, meaning that it wasn’t able to create something more complex. I feel like this is a good sign for us as humans that maybe AI won’t completely take over. When we use AI, we lose that sense of humanness. We lose the raw, relatable emotions, which makes AI work pretty sad. Our feelings, thoughts, actions, and emotions are all what make our work unique, relatable, and enjoyable. Chat GPT and other systems can’t replicate that, which is a sigh of relief. So hopefully the robot apocalypse won’t happen anytime soon!

Down below is the poem that I wrote from my poetry class, as well as the one Chat GPT wrote. Honestly after re-reading them, the Chat GPT one wasn’t as bad as I thought, but hopefully you’re still able to make the discernment.

Garden Serenity

In Grandma's house, a garden grew,

A menagerie of life that drew

A giant bug or two, it's true,

But also beauty, fresh and new.

A greenhouse stood among the green,

A place to grow, a space serene,

And though the hose refused to spray,

The plants still flourished, day by day.

One day a feud broke out in Walla Walla,

Between Icarus and Orville Redenbacher,

But in the garden, all was calm,

A serendipitous, peaceful balm.

The half-eaten sandwich by the door,

Was soon forgotten, on the floor,

As grandma tended to her plants,

Creating life with her own hands.

Three forms of fire, three forms of water,

Mercury rising, entropy sought her,

But in the garden, life still thrived,

And meretricious worries were cast aside.

For though the bugs may come and go,

And seasons change, both fast and slow,

The garden remains, a living thing,

Proof that entropy does not mean death's sting.

Once Upon a Time

at grandma’s house

there’s no need to dwell

on the roaring rapids

that sit outside

her quiet creek

there’s no need to worry

about the lemonade pitcher

staining the wooden table 

with droplets of condensation

as the sun beams down on us

with its sweet summer smile

at grandma’s house

we plant our calloused feet

in the welcoming garden soil,

rooted as butterflies swim by

and kiss freckles onto our noses

her garden watches over us

bloomed peonies and sweet onions

stand guard, while ladybugs float

the dirt of yesterday off our backs

and we all relish in the taste

of refreshing hose water

— 

The bedroom window frames Grandma’s 

Garden and opens with a sigh, aching

For the scent of bloomed peonies 

And sweet onions

An army of weeds has taken over 

And the refreshing hose water

Lays parched near the wooden table

One spark could end it all

The roaring rapids beyond the

Dried creek taunt my

Tired ears and never cease

To remind me

How small I really am

Mobian version of Orville (everything like his father except for the eye color, scarf and boots)

[momentia]

@sarking tagged me to do this thing!

last song: billie eilish’s “happier than ever,” the snl version even though snl is basically dead to me, because it’s such a great performance.  i am not, in fact, happier than ever, but i am trying to pretend to be grateful for this loss.

last show/series: i think avatar the last airbender was the last show i finished.  before that was the venture bros (problematic but fantastic) and gravity falls (cool world building but the presentation was sometimes grating; it's a kid's show, so).  also: the orville was really, really good.

currently watching: american dad, archer, svu, and l&o: organized crime in terms of shows currently airing new eps.  watching gotham, ghost files, monster high, miraculous ladybug (and surely some things i am forgetting) with various friends.  unlikely to finish phineas and ferb or korra at this point, but i'm technically in the middle of those.  oh and i’m watching that dahmer miniseries with a friend (i know it’s been torn to shreds and we were all supposed to agree not to watch it, but i am anyway), and it is brutal and distressing and i do not recommend!

favorite color: changes frequently, but it's been blue since july.  for some reason it's the color i associate with getting through that hellish week.

sweet, spicy, or savory: sweet.

currently reading: about ten books i will probably not finish, but the two i'm carrying around and pretending with currently are a slow death: 83 days of radiation sickness, which i have been reading for a year or two because there’s so much misinformation about that case, and neil gaiman's neverwhere, which a colleague gifted me before he left for a better job (i’ve lost so many people that way the last couple years).  the new jason pargin novel comes out this month, idk when, i pre-ordered it then forgot about it, but i'll at least try to read that once it comes.  (after a few weeks i'll give up and download the audiobook and finish that way, probably, as i did with the last one.)

what i'm working on: quite a few things (wips often go to my gdocs to retire peacefully and undisturbed, unfortunately), but the most noteworthy imho because i do actually plan to finish them once i start writing again:

"in the perfect dark of a new moon," a.k.a. tentaclefic.  it's the untamed canon divergence where wen qing took jiang cheng up on his offer and he was so whipped that he defied the world to save her family.  it's been done a million times and i completely gloss over the political cost of all of it, but anyway.  background wangxian family and background nmj/jyl to really turn off anyone who dislikes non-canon het ships.  haha.  oh, and also jiang cheng is a wereoctopus and there's a lot of smut with both his human and octo bodies.  this story started as a pwp and is now like 25k words and nowhere near done.

several jalachi wips i probably won't bother to finish now (sad trombone) but i do still hope to finish at least the one temp-titled "✋" because no one writes the exact stuff i want and so i have to do it or go without.

i technically haven’t started this yet but i have a lot to say about oswald cobblepot and physical pain, emotional trauma, and intimate touch, and i am sure that if and when i finish gotham i will get around to writing something that touches on that.

currently obsessed with: my mental health is worse right now so i am seeking constant distraction but not totally connecting with any of it??  i guess my current obsession is trying to reach minimum calorie goal on days i have no appetite and everything is unappealing.  i hate being back to living on protein shakes and effing fig newtons but hopefully things get better faster this time.  oh, and i’ve been reading so many aita threads to distract myself and kill time at work, since i can’t focus on reading or writing or my job currently.

Fantasy and Scifi “Racism,” an opinion piece:

This whole thing is gonna be a slurry of politics, hot takes, nerd shit, some pictures to make it not a snooze fest on the eyes, and me asking the lot of ya to consider both sides of an argument. If you have a problem with any of that, please leave. All that said, let's get on with it: Let’s take three gentlemen for an example. One is from Poland. One is from Angola, one is from South Korea. What does that tell us about them? We can infer averages. For example, The average Polish man’s height is about five feet, ten and a half inches, so the Polish gentleman’s height might be in that ballpark. A very well known Korean dish is Kimchi, so it is moderately safe to assume the Korean man has, at some point, eaten it. Two of Angola’s largest provinces happen to be “Moxico” and “Cuandocubango” and one of it’s most populated is called “Huambo” So it would be a moderately safe bet to assume the man from Angola is from one of those areas. Their countries/continents of origin don’t directly tell us much though. Hell, we could be dealing with a Polish little person, a Korean who has bafflingly never had kimchi and an Angolan from Lunda Sul. We also don’t know about their outlooks, their lives, mental conditions they might have. Hell, we may not know what race these guys are. There’s a slim chance the Angolan Gentleman is Chinese (1.4% of the country’s population) Or that the Polish guy is ethnically German. We just don’t know. What we do know for a fact is that they’re all human men. They have (most likely) similar psychology, anatomy, dietary need to not starve to death or dehydrate, etc. And that’s about it. Now let’s take a sample from three fictional species off the top of my head: Starting with a Furon from Destroy all humans.

Now, Furons are pretty much universally shorter and physically weaker than humans, so it is safe to assume our single Furon has these qualities. He's also likely a psychic as that's a common attribute of his people. Also common would be the perception of humans as cattle, his possession of advanced force field technology is also pretty much a guarantee. Outliers exist and all that but something worth mentioning: This Furon is a Furon. In other news: The sky is blue, yeah? The problem is though: The Furons are very much not humans. And there aren't too many "races" in that equation, either. Just the populace of the Furon Homeworld. It's also worth noting that we don't actually know what Furons eat, their water intake any of that. We know only so many details but with just those, it's obvious that Furons and humans are too damn different. For species two, let's look at Mind Flayers from DnD.

Mind Flayers, otherwise known as "Illithids," are generally humanoid creatures born through a process known as "Ceramorphosis." See, Illithids are anatomically asexual, as in, they self inseminate and produce eggs from their mouths. They put the eggs in with an entity called "The Elder brain" which is a conglomerate of other Illithid brains, the tadpoles eat one another or get eaten by the brain for about ten years before being selected and implanted into a sentient creature (Humans, elves, etc) From there, the tadpole eats the brain of that creature, replacing it with its own and slowly altering their anatomy until you get a malevolent microcthulhu with potent psychic powers and the need to eat one entire human-level brain every month. Mindflayers start their lives as parasites that literally consume your entire sense of self and mutate you into an unrecognizable husk with a cephalopod for a face. And they have the gall to consider humans lesser? How bloody dare... an entirely separate species of sentient creatures come to that conclusion. For our last example, let's talk about a species from a setting best described as Technomystical: The Skakdi from Bionicle.

For those who don't know what that species is, The Piraka from the 2006 toyline are all examples of Skakdi. Now, Skakdi look, and they are, absolutely brutal. For example, the species was beset by an army of large and lethal creatures called "Zyglak" after becoming what they are today, the lot of them being mutants. The Zyglak were completely wiped out. Skakdi are savage in the best of ways. They aren't just beasts, they're berserkers with the powers of the elements, however, it does require two of them to activate such powers. Thing is though, they're all like that. The entire species has been mutated from what it once was into a legion that knows little else other than slaughter and subjugation of others... Generally speaking, at least. The problem with all three of these species, or "Races" (As I do NOT prefer to call it), and in fact most species from almost all settings is that they're a monolith. Illithids, for example, generally all follow the same societal structure, living in large groups wherever they can under the "guidance" (as in "Hivemind link") of elder brains, some strike out on their own, but for the most part, they live under elder brains, no matter where in the world they are. There aren't competing Illithid Nations or sub-species with things that makes them distinctly Korean or Aztec inspired unless the DM adds those things. And even then, when settings do that, say, Warhammer, there are some groups that are a national proxy (The Empire is Germany, Bretonnia is France, etc) and then some proxies are just an entire species. (See the Lizard Men, who went from Native American-coded to Aztec over the course of some years.) Adding to these things is a slight elephant in the room. Alignment systems. See, humans in games like DnD can be anything from neutral evil to chaotic good, true neutral to lawful evil, etc. But then some species are stuck as inherently good or evil or inherently lawful or chaotic. The problem with saying that about a sentient species is that it smacks a bit of actual, real racism/racist ideas. The idea that this group of beings that just lives differently to the rest of us is inherently almost anything is clearly bad, right? Well... Maybe if we didn't do that IRL, that would feel more genuine. The hell am I on about?

We, as humans, understand that other species of everything from primates to insects are naturally more aggressive, more gentle, more poisonous, more endowed with certain senses, etc. All except for other groups of humans. Because save for pigments of skin, general height, and elements of culture, pretty much all human groups are the same.  That said: Point me to the the race of humans more naturally endowed with psychic powers. Or the human race that can only go on by implanting itself in other humans and slowly making people lose their minds until only they take over said body. 

I can show you examples of animals doing the whole “Eating you from the inside out” thing. But not humans. Hell, even cannibals have to get a cut off of ya first. But that’s just how beings like Mind Flayers operate. I can show you examples of more aggressive insectoid life vs ones that just want to be left alone. Generally speaking, a wasp is more aggressive than a ladybug. But that’s because they evolved differently to one another. Like Mind Flayers have from elves. Or like Furons have from Blisk. Or like The Skakdi had from Matoran, even before being mutants. Does that make them (wasps) “Evil” though? Well... No. The problem is that wasps took on the various scary attributes they did because that was the hand nature played for them. A wasp does not choose to start life by eating it’s way out of a living tarantula and then spending the rest of it angrily defending whatever it considers to be it’s “territory” only to lay another one of its kind into another tarantula, that’s just what the little bastards do without thinking because that’s how they adapted to the world. I would say though that Furons are evil. They view an entire species they consider intelligent (Even “Loosely”) as cattle to harvest DNA from and otherwise use as playthings, killing them en masse just for shits and giggles. Mindflayers, I would say much the same of unless they willingly find violent/genuinely harmful examples of intelligent life that will do the world no good and then eat only them. But no, these freaks bred an entire species of creatures to have massive brains and be super passive just to make eating their brains easier. That’s pretty damn evil.

(Pictured above, an Oortling from Forgotten Realms 2e) Creatures like the Krill from Seth Macfarlane’s “The Orville” believe all other sentient species are lesser than them. The galaxy is for them and them alone to conquer and do with as they please. Such is the Will of their god Avis. They started stabbing a human head live in front of other Krill in an episode as part of their religious practices. But then the species has some nuance. This fundamentalism and extremism is how they cope with being so damn small in the face of an uncaring, unfeeling void. So are the Krill evil? No. They’re afraid. 

Coming back to the Skakdi, They started out as relatively peaceful until a creature from the Makuta species showed up and mutated the lot of them into the magabadasses they are now. All of them now have, fighting skill equal to, if not greater than most Toa, and even elemental powers. But they aren’t all evil. They’re just aggressive, angry, and furthermore, also probably hurting. A peaceful existence was just taken from these poor bastards, all they know now is conflict with one another. So are the Skakdi evil? No. Some of them might be but it ain’t because they’re Skakdi. 

See, Skakdi and Krill are important things to remember here because they, while still being monolithic as cultures, have a little more depth than just the myriad ways in which they’re evil bastards.  But Mind Flayers? Not really. Not unless the DM adds that. Furons? I mean... Sometimes they become friends or mate with humans but not usually. And what of the big old elephant in the room? The Orcs of D&D? Orcs as a species were recently described as only having limited capacities for things like empathy... If raised outside the violent and chaotic madness that is living with other orcs.

This is the thing that sparked this post, so I will now, at the near end, address it specifically: People find the wording here to be reminiscent of things actual racist propaganda and ideas perpetuated about pretty much specifically black people as I understand it. Which, I genuinely wouldn’t know. I never really grew up around that stuff and I do my best to avoid racists/racism in my day-to-day. But to me? This just makes a depressing kind of sense. The species that evolved/was made or whatever to be this big, hulking set of warrior badasses. has a limited ability to understand what it is to be the other guy. Seems legit. Especially when you remember that even if Orcs are just another group of primates, they aren’t human and would likely have psychological differences to humans. 

This is a baby chimpanzee. Look at it. It’s cute. You want one, don’t you? Well... That’s not advised, honestly. Chimps can be fucking monsters. Don’t know what I mean? A. I’m surprised. B. Just google “Chimpanzee attacks” if you have the stomach for it. Not all Chimps will do it, but chimps can and do, do it. Some Chimps hunt monkeys for food in their territory. It’s royally fucked up, but its a thing they do. And you know how different human DNA is to theirs? About 1%. I personally don’t see anything wrong with saying “An entire species is evil” in any setting other than that being shallow as fuck. I also personally don’t see anything wrong with suggesting that a species has limited empathy because honestly...? Just look at nature and even humans. Fantasy and Scifi often entertain the idea of “What if we are not the only living things smart/naturally equipped enough to build a society?”  But the sad reality is if we weren’t? Most other species wouldn’t act a damn thing like humans, most other species probably wouldn’t give a shit about us, and a large number, even if they can and do act like us in some ways, will not in all ways.  So, to bring this ramble to something resembling a conclusive point: Fantasy/Scifi “Racism” (As in just being prejudiced, although it should just be Xenophobia, IMO) is way more understandable and even more easily believable than the real thing because we stopped talking humans the second we brought in the crazy dudes with octopus heads. Or who are just naturally, by virtue of their species (not “race”) psychic. And even if it was just between groups that didn’t exist, nature proves that it would most definitely happen.  But those are just my thoughts, anybody wanna weigh in? I’m all ears. 

[made-with-magic]

Are you bored in quarantine as well?

well that’s tuff

no but seriously here are some things you can watch/read/listen too. Featuring my terrible summaries of them as I try to explain them without ships

Netflix

Avatar, obviously what are you doing, what do you mean you’ve never watched this cultural cornerstone- an animated show about people who can control elements and the avatar is a 12 who has to save the world by learning to bend all of the elements 

Any/all of the john Mulaney specials because we respect our proud asian american woman in this house- a comedian tells iconic jokes

haikuyu. -volleyball anime

Sherlock- tv show about a detective and his cases and his friend who the whole fandom ships him with but its not the main basis of the show

Good Place-a funny show but it also somehow teaches you philosophy, basically its about these humans and their journey in the afterlife

Lucifer, we stan Lucy-about lucifer coming to earth and just vibing but no one really believes him when he says hes literally the devil

Merlin because HOW COULD THEY END IT LIKE THAT HOW DARE THEY- a show about merlin protecting aurther in camelot with his magic even though magic is outlawed

Witcher, a fantasy show you may need to watch twice because the timeline is a little confusing.-a fantasy setting based off of a book

Umbrella academy, klaus is our child and we will fite anyone who says otherwise-some kids were randomly born with superpowers and an extra billionaire bought them and its about the kids stopping the apocalypse

troll hunters, a show about a kid who basically has to save the world so many times, and GREAT animations like 10/10 animations 

3below, a show that takes place in the same town as troll hunters but its about these alien refugees and its also good, we stan steve and eli

Miraculous Ladybug merely because the fandom is funny to me-highschoolers become superheros and the guy likes the super hero girl but the girl likes the civilian identity of the boy but neither of them no each others identities

Carmen sandiego because I LOVE gray for no reason like i cant explain- a kids show about a girl who was raised by theives who then learned they were evil so she steals from them and returns the items but the people investigating her still think shes a villian

stranger things, again, WHY HAVENT YOU WATCHED THIS- a show about scientist fucking up and this group f kids have to keep fixing it

Hulu

my hero acedemia- everyone has powers whoo and theres a h=whole society built around these powers and its centered around this highschool kid whos going to highschool to become a power and theres a whole things i cant really explain just watch it

brooklyn 99, its literally one of the best shows ever just saying- about detectives but its funny but also deals with serious stuff sometimes

Orville-its basically if star trek and those ‘humans are space orcs/australians’ was a tv show

the rookie- a more serious cop show, good show

mythbusters, mostly as a background show- a couple of scientist do fun expirements (dont try at home, try at a friends house) and they bust or prove myths

other

Critical role!!!!!! its so good, and its reaalllyy long which is nice during quarentine-its a dnd campagn but you dont really need to know much about dnd to enjoy, its about a group of adventurers with great backgrounds played by voice actors just playing dnd and its fun

good omens-an angel and demon try their best to save the world, but also they are a married couple (not the main point, very background)

Psych, it doesnt get NEARLY as much love as it should-a show about a dude who has teh mental abilities of sherlock, but funny and not a robot who prenteds to be a phycic and works with the police department with his best friend gus 

Books (first 3 on audible, where I listen while drawing. you can get one of those free trials from anyone from youtube and you get to keep the book even if you cancel the subscription)

Mistborn by Brandon sanderson- some people have powers when they burn metals and can do cool thing. this takes place in fantasy-esque time where the bad guy already one hundereds of years ago and a group of thieves over throw the ruler ~500 pages ish

Alloy of law by Brandon sanderson-a series that takes place hundereds of years after mistborn and now they have guns and its the wild west. dont read before mistborn unless you dont mind spoilers for the first series ~400 pages each

Name of the wind by Patrick Rothfuss- its the first part of a trilogy (thrid book not out yet) it follows the life of a legend from his point of view and its also fantasy esque. ive read them 3 times ~900 pages

spy school series by Start gibbs- kids go to spy school, main character keeps thwarting the bad guys despite everyones confusion. long books not like the books from book fair that are like 100 pages long, actual story happens in these ~300 words

Ill gladly talk IN LENGTH about basically any of these so i guess this is also a small version of my fandom list?
