#so I guess!! I'll deal with the stupid ai!!!!!

[hundredsspoons]

I HATE that Notion reminds you it has an ai feature with literally every sentence you type. Like, I KNOW you have it I KNOWWWWWW. You put stupid little stars by the ai page!!! If I wanted to use ai on my personal storybook, a place I use to sort through my emotions and is quite special to me, I would GO TO THE AI PAGE!!!! ENOUGH!!!!!!

[lunarriviera]

yet another shen yi meta [uts2 spoilers]

hi hey hello everyone i continue to be tormented with obsessive thinkings about s2 Shen Yi so i must holler about them/him some more, feel free to stop reading if you have not watched through approximately episode 11 which is where i still am. it's taking me longer to watch because i keep pausing to rewind/screenshot and/or weep in anguish about Him and What He Is Going Through. and how NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION. or insufficient attention. cf. Ryan Gosling in the Papyrus sketch screaming WELL IT WASN'T!! ENOUGH!!

[more. much more. behind the cut]

let's start here, with shen yi's artwork. in this scene he competed with AI to paint a chosen image and, surprising exactly no one, he won, partly because he's brilliant but tbh mostly because AI art is garbage and always adds dolphins, rainbows, and hands with six fingers.

but here's the thing: is no one going to question this? does anyone think to themselves "ah yes, shen yi is absolutely the BEST person in the world to make a painting in 30 minutes that depicts, quote, a lonely man on a beach." so here is this miserably hunched, despairing figure, surrounded by murky howling early-picasso blue, LOOKING IN FACT QUITE A LOT LIKE SHEN YI HIMSELF—even dressed like him (in the snowy white and dainty pastels he seems to favor this season)—and not a single person thinks: huh, wonder if this guy's okay?

in fact s2 seems to be repeated evidence of the fact that shen yi is Very Much Not Okay, and yet no one is really paying attention. he supports everyone else emotionally and they all seem to assume he either a) has no emotional blowback to deal with, or b) can deal with it himself unaided somehow. (through painting, maybe? but have you seen what he's painting lately? e.g. monstrous abusive parent figures, in some kind of breathless fugue state during which he can psychically hear lines from someone else's traumatic childhood?) he goes to li han's house to help her, which is so like him, and he says:

oh! you might think. well, maybe he will self-disclose a little? tell li han about some of his own personal difficulties that he's had to overcome, just to bond with her, get her to open up? HAHAHA ARE YOU NEW HERE, of course he doesn't, he just listens to her while she sobs out her tragic backstory, gives her a tissue, relates her struggles to a vaguely terrifying metaphor of his own device about a sealed room filling up ineluctably with floodwater, then smiles and takes her out for pizza. (totally unrelated but wow the product placement is heavy-handed this season. xiaomi! pizza hut!)

since we're talking about the li han case, consider this moment, too, when he interprets someone's house-person-tree drawing. does no one ever think, "for someone who talks constantly about love and connection, how interesting that shen yi has no family, refuses to date in very pointed and deliberate way, and lives alone with a cat."

shen yi knows all about love! never shuts up about love! constantly dispensing bromides about what real love should be like! and wakes every day ALONE from horrific guilty nightmares ft. creepy small girl in blood-red dress, pls will no one help this man pls he's drowning.

couple more bits and then i swear to god i'll shut up i'm starting to feel really stupid. but first consider this little story, in three parts:

"an image of despair" um okay well…technically it's just a dead body, albeit after a fairly grisly stabbing, but sure go off i guess

2. du cheng: wow even for you that was unusually poetic and weird

3. also du cheng: back to investigating the murder i guess [wanders away]

this kind of thing happens again. and again. either no one notices assorted horrified/devastated expressions on shen yi's face (in the way of classic extradiegetic reaction shots, where the camera sees them—we see them—but none of the characters onscreen do) or, when du cheng does notice, he's immediately distracted by his actual job, and/or the fact that he doesn't really know how to help his partner, because lbr he has all the emotional intelligence of a pony.

one more mini-story in three parts, and then i really will put a sock in it:

shen yi: why, what did i do. why are you looking at me like that

2. du cheng: bc you just lied your whole entire face off with alarming unsettling proficiency, since when are you that good at being dishonest

3. shen yi: hehe

in an earlier episode we also saw shen yi shouting at a suspect in the interrogation room, so convincingly that afterwards du cheng admits, you scared me. lol! says shen yi in carefree manner, i learned that from you! haha! agrees everyone, and they go about their business.

but ghastly things keep happening to and near him. at least once per episode, shen yi makes a face like this, because people are jumping off cliffs in front of him or abruptly smashing things with hammers or just lashing out with all kinds of antisocial behaviors in his vicinity:

to be fair, he has other expressions. for instance he also repeatedly employs his patented creepy ruthless smile, of the "i am going to fuck you up" variety, an expression reserved especially for criminals:

as well, i'm also leaving out all the ridiculously adorable/domestic scenes with him and du cheng, in which they share candy, roast each other about assorted nonsense, briefly co-parent a child, and, you know. are just generally disgustingly married. but that's a different meta.

also, admittedly du cheng does SAY things. he says, "are you still having trouble sleeping," he says "do i not care about you?" and "don't push yourself so hard" and "if you run into troubles, don't try to take them on alone." (i am sparing you all these screenshots since this is a meta about shen yi but trust me i have carefully accumulated every single shred of evidence in which du cheng is protective.) but, as frequently as du cheng expresses concern, he also just keeps clapping shen yi on the shoulder in a brotastic way and then strolling out. which i fear is just not going to be adequate. ("i don’t think this is literally papyrus. maybe that was the starting point but they clearly modified it?" "well whatever they did, IT WASN'T!! ENOUGH!!")

i leave you with two final images of shen yi, seen here continuing to be very much Not Okay, and to quote the bernie meme, i am ONCE AGAIN ASKING YOU, drama, is anyone going to care enough about this man to stop him going over the edge of the cliff with Evil Art Critic Eugenicist Moriarty Weasel Man? because he will, he will do it. because he's lonely and he's misunderstood and he's—

[terraliensvent]

veal is fucking deranged. a summary.

Please read the posts linked below for a proper chronological detailing of events:

Post #1 : "Rhys eat shit (a summary of events)"

Post #2: Zaga gets doxxed

Additional details: here, here

On with the update.

Veal is the doxxer. It was Veal the whole time. Yep. Lets go through today's events in order.

This afternoon, Dabi had DMed me in regards to the recent speculation we had cast on them, as well as trying to clear Civ's friend group. I'll spare the specifics of the shoddy evidence I received, because it's pointless now anyways. My point in bringing this up is to make note of a certain detail I looked a bit closer into, the Canadian VPN.

When a new user logs into your Discord account, Discord sends a confirmation email with the location and IP of where the login occurred. So, when Veal's account was "taken over" by TTV, Re-uprising staff was (presumably) given the IP from the email, and then traced that IP address to have been through a VPN. This was the IP data as well as the explanation from Zaga, who googled the info after it was found:

The fatal flaw here was poor research. When looking more closely at these and doing some research on my own, it was hard to find a link from Datacamp LTD and CDN77-TOR to eStructure, important to note because Datacamp is an American company and thus would rule out the doxxer only being able to live in Canada. Zaga had made the connection to eStructure because they trusted the google AI result.

The screen recorded search history also showed they had looked this info up, I unfortunately can't upload the whole video because it's over two minutes, but here's a screenshot:

They also sent this video to show where the Google AI had most likely pulled the info from, so suffice to say it probably was an honest mistake

Anyway, as for how Veal was discovered.

When Re-Up was going through their mass re-verification, the TTV account was banned from the server. Then, last night, it was discovered that veal's account was banned from re-up, with seemingly no way to unban them

There was no solution to this, until tonight when they had the idea to try and unban TTV.

Veal's current discord account, the new one they made after the old one was "compromised" by TTV, is the terratimevents discord account repurposed. That means in this post, Veal is just talking to themself. That means that every subsequent action here was done by Veal. That means Veal doxxed Zaga. Veal did it all.

As re-up staff is putting 2 and 2 together, Veal sends a weird message into the chat. Re-up staff decided to confront them.

In an absolute game-changer of a maneuver, Veal decides to blame everything on...an alter.

Discussion is then had with Rhys, who helps piece together more motives.

So. Veal is fucking deranged. It has been said they could be in a manic episode, hence the self-doxxing and absolute scorched earth type shit, I don't really know much about mania so I can't comment. Personally, the alter shit sounds like a load of bull to me and its just all too convenient. And either way, pinning it on some guy in your head still makes you responsible for it, just in some stupid, roundabout way.

There are several apologies in order here, I'll speak on behalf of myself and re-up in saying this truly wasn't expected at all. This anon was the only one that actually guessed it, and honestly could have very well been Veal themself acting out some crazy admission of guilt. Retroactively reading this week's posts and seeing in hindsight that the six-part saga (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) very well could have been them too trying to make others involved look bad, while also haphazardly throwing together guilty thoughts. In my defense, doxxing yourself to a bunch of people and framing the group you hate IS a really crazy thing to do. I just wasn't aware the level of crazy we were dealing with when talking to Veal.

To Rhys, Civ, and Dabi, I sincerely apologize. Veal had crafted the narrative specifically to implicate your group and gave details that would only lead there, such as using their own vents in self-submitted hate anons. Because of the timing and the sheer absurdity it would take for someone to string up the whole operation, we didn't cast doubt onto them, because logically, who would do all that over some guy who wronged you on the internet?? However, this caused your names to be dragged through the mud, assumedly Veal's primary goal. Despite any personal dislike or petty beef I and others have, it's unanimously agreed upon that framing you all for the crime was incredibly wrong. If anyone wants a more personal, in-depth apology, or if you just want to run victory laps around me (completely warranted honestly), my DMs are open on here and on Discord. @/tvntss

In conclusion: Veal is an incredibly depraved individual. Mentally ill, possibly. But overall depraved. Do not interact with them, and report them if you come across them in the wild. It seems they're deleting all public socials, which barely scrapes the surface of being retribution, but at the very least they won't have a platform.

Civ, Dabi, Rhys, and whoever else from that group are completely innocent in this one, a narrative was deliberately crafted and insisted upon to make them appear culpable, and it is my fault for not directly questioning Veal on shit myself. If it hadn't been for Veal being fucking stupid and making this tiny mistake, the group probably could have never been 100% without a doubt cleared simply because of the difficult to prove/disprove nature of so many things here. So lets all thank whatever God you pray to that Veal was stupid enough to keep using that account.

[cursed-spectre]

Okay, let's do this one last time.

"Hi. My name's Spectre, and welcome to the cube. Here, you can ask questions to me, Ai, and Cassidy."

Don't forget me.

"They can't hear you."

"I'm a strange shadow thing, but I'm still a girl, and use she/her. Uh, by some strange er- miracle, I guess, I'm, uh—"

"She's dating Tera and Kiara from @ask-elliot-doorman-fam."

"I was getting there! Ugh, but yeah."

"So, Cassidy."

"No."

"Since you decided to speak up,"

"NO."

"Why don't you introdu—"

"I SAID NO!"

"I'll go!"

"That works."

"A-hem. Greetings, everyone. My name is Ai Morgenstern, and I'm the daughter of Spectre. I'm also a girl and use she/her. It's so very nice to meet you all. Hehe, I hope we can be best friends."

"..."

"Cassie?"

"Ugh, fiiine, I'll do your stupid introduction."

"Yay!"

"Yeah, yeah."

"Cassidy. She/her. Bye."

"..."

"What? Hey don't look at me like—...fine. And wipe that grin off your face, shadow."

"I'm Cassidy. I use she/her like everyone else in this damn place. Seriously, Spectre. You couldn't have made a son and not a daughter? N-no, I didn't mean it like that Ai.

Our pronouns are they/them.

You can be quiet. I am not saying I use they/them just because you're here. We aren't—I'm just gonna ignore you."

I wish to answer questions.

"What?"

The Rebooted demands questions.

"You don't have a vocal voice. That would be impossible."

Then you can speak for me, fwiend.

"... I'm going to hate this, I just know it."

"She's a nice girl."

(Mod Stuff underneath Read More)

So yeah, this is my RP blog. My personal blog is @spectral-squid, and I'll usually use (blue text in round brackets.)

As for rules,

Suggestive stuff is fine, and I'm okay with certain nsfw stuff, but I retain the right to give a warning if I don't like where something is going, as well as just stopping a chain if I feel it's needed. I will try not to do that, though. I don't really like to.

I won't tolerate straight up homophobia, transphobia, racism, etc. Clearly fictional stuff like regarding Spectre's views of drones are fine, but if you are genuinely any of the above mentioned, I would rather you not interact. I myself am Transfem, so transphobia especially is not something I'd like to deal with.

I try to answers any asks I get, but sometimes one may go unanswered if I literally just can't find a way to respond to it. I'm very sorry.

Tags

The general #(Character) answers tags will be there.

Tags using "cursed" with the exception of cursed jelly, cursed doughnut, and cursed jelly doughnut will refer to me as a mod, not a character.

"#cursed gallery" is used for reference art of Spectre and co by me and others as long as it is still used for reference. These are commonly picrew edits, but may include reference sheets in the future.

"#cursed fan gallery" is used for fanart of the crew made by others

"#tales of a spectre" is used for short stories that show a bit of background into the lore of Spectre and her world.

"#cursed snippets" is used for short scenes within The Cube.

"#character trivia" is used for small bits of trivia regarding characters.

Some quick details (totally not because I always forget)

Spectre's human and drone forms are around the same height as V.

Ai is the same height as Uzi in the show, being smaller than the average worker drone.

Cassidy is almost N's height. (Yes, she is taller than Spectre.)

VERY IMPORTANT INFO

I AM A >MINOR< OK, NOT 18 YRO YET so dni if that makes you unconfortable

THINGS IN MY DO NOT INTERACT (BASIC SENSE BTW)

Homophobia, transphobia, racism or any other type of prejudice is NOT ok and I WILL throw a brick at you if you interact w me

Anyone who supports generative AI will have a pencil shoved in their [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] and then [REDACTED]

Basically just don't be weird or a dipshit and you're good to go ^^

SHIT THAT IM INTO RIGHT NOW (THIS ONE WILL NEED SOME SUBCATEGORIES)

JUST ROLL WITH IT PODCAST

Currently my biggest thing!!! I watched/am watching:

Apotheosis 

Blood in the Bayou <3

Prime Defenders

Riptide

The Suckening

Total Monster Kill (one episode left but I'm afraid to watch it)

Wonderlust (watching)

(Also, my favorite character is Wiwi from PD but I think that's pretty obvious)

EPIC THE MUSICAL

This shit reignited my obssesion with greek mytho (+ Ithica saga my beloved) 

Watching animatics was a big part of what got me back into drawing too, so love to all the Epic animators out there <33

DOCTOR WHO (2005-NOW)

I realized like, 3 seasons in that my mom used to watch DW when I was small??? So that was cool. Also the reason why David Tennant is my Doctor even though I was born in 2008 LOL

GOOD OMENS (SHOW)

Not >nearly< as much as b4 but I still like the ineffable husbands (and David Tennant) enough to keep this here, though it might be leaving soon

(Fun fact, seeing David Tennant in this is what made me go watch Doctor Who so I think my brain just liked him a L-O-T.)

THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES

This one is my most recent obssesion, as of writing editing this, I’m in the final episodes of the fourth season!! I can’t stop watching but I’m also really sad bcs I’m rapidly approaching the end :c

(not reccomended, gave me insomnia and nightmares)

(will do it again though since the fear is just in my head and therefore cannot hurt me)

anyway this bangs but I'm way too stupid to keep track of names so fuck me i guess

SUPERNATURAL (YES THE TV SHOW)

I'm currently in the first episodes of season 7 and all I have to say is that Dean and Castiel act really fucking gay. Also Castiel is supposedly dead but I don't buy it

CONTENT CREATORS

I watch a fuck ton of people and there’s fucking way I’m writing everyone but I really like Cellbit (definitely the cc I watch the most) and Slimecicle is pretty funny

(NOT THAT) IMPORTANT INFO

I like to draw! but I don't think I'll post many works because I rarely like them enough to finish, so at most there'll be some WIPs

I can speak english, portuguese, spanish, and I'm trying to learn french!!

I'M BRAZILIAN :DDDD

btw follow @will-ohwisp if you want to see me try to act like William Wisp from the hit podcast JRWI :0

[petite-madame]

I've been following you for probably 10 years by now and even I got offended about that Anon. I don't really draw portraits anymore myself but you've been a great inspiration and I often come back to look at your work. I understand the hate for AI as much as any other artist but to come for them if you don't know exactly and just insult their work in my eyes is just as bad. It's just as defeating and demoralizing. Please just if you don't know for sure just avoid it then or ask to make sure, don't be a mean asshole and insult them like this. "Everyone can tell" apparently not anon. I hate that "actual artist can tell" like it implies perfection in art can only be accieved by machines or aomething. Have you seen the statue of david???? get a life

Hi anon

[In reference to this post - that will be the last ask I'll share on the matter, this anon received enough attention already (not the one sending this ask, obviously, the one from the link)]

Thank you so much for your support and your very kind message, it means a lot. 💗

I hate that "actual artist can tell"

It's some sort of "call to authority fallacy", it's basically the equivalent of "a study says that..." (= zero serious source) or "my girlfriend is Japanese" (= every time that someone wants to say something stupid about Japan and tries to justify it). I've been dealing with this crap since 2009, I guess that "your art is AI" is just a bizarre but logic continuity. Not to mention that every time I posted tutorials, step by steps, WIPS, etc...I received messages like "You are trying to justify yourself". Damn if you do, damn if you don't. 😂

I understand the hate for AI as much as any other artist but to come for them if you don't know exactly

That's the problem I had with this anon. Ask me about my process, my brushes, my textures. I'll share links to posts that details everything but don't come to my inbox with this "actual artists can tell" bullshit because I've been one of these "actual artists" for decades. On the bright side, I haven't laughed at an ask for weeks, so there's that. 😁

you've been a great inspiration and I often come back to look at your work

It's so kind of you to see me as an inspiration. 😭 It's such an amazing compliment. I hope you'll get back to portraits (if it's what you want you want to do!) and I wish you good luck in your future art projects 💗

Take care and have a great weekend.

Character Profiles

Administrator/Ai

・Hello. Dear prisoners.I'm Ai, the administrator.Well...I still have a lot to learn about communication and about all of you.

・However, I am the administrator.I am responsible for managing you all. Please be my regards henceforth.

・I myself have not yet decided how I will pass judgment...You have been gathered here under the suspicion of being evil people for some wrongdoing.

・And you will be judged by me, justice or evil.I know nothing about you people yet. But I plan to close slowly.

・Let me clarify my position as an administrator, but I do not intend to be hostile.I hope we can live comfortably together. Good bye

001/Tsuguha

・Well...nice to meet you! My name is Tsuguha, I'm 12 years old. I don't really understand this situation yet...but I hope I can be friends with you all.

・I am aware of the...bad things I have done. No one would call me a murderer, though.

・Admin. I want the death penalty. You would judge me, wouldn't you?

・When did a place like this come into being...?

・I was born a bad person. You see what I mean?

002/Jun

・Name? Huh. ...... I'm Jun. I don't intend to get along with you.

・Evil people and other false accusations.This prison is more evil than the prisoners who are locked up here.

・You're in trouble, too. You don't know anything, do you? I hope you get out of here soon. For both of us.

・I'm not surprised now. No matter what kind of strange places there are in the world.

・I just want to get this over with.I don't want to go home.Other than that, there's nothing else.

003/Kizuna

・Nice to meet you! My name is Kizuna! Haha.

・Hmmm. At least we haven't done anything wrong yet, right? See, that's what everyone says!

・Hahaha. Hey, that's the administrator! How long have you been here? Long time ago?

・It's a strange place - this place! But there are scarier places, too!

・I like everyone here because they don't say bad things about me! Maybe I don't have to go out there!

004/Tsuduri

・Introducing myself, um... my name is Tuzuri. Hmmm, sorry. I can't think of anything in particular to tell you now.

・I honestly don't feel either way about justice or evil, but...Don't make stupid decisions.

・I'll give some advice to the administrator.Expecting weird things from others will make you tired, so it's better to go easy on them.

・Hmmm. The location itself doesn't surprise me. But I guess I'm wondering how they got to me.

・I don't know the date or time or anything. I wonder if there is an outside in this place.

005/Itoho

・Let's see, I'm Itoho! I've been called many names, so call me whatever you like. New nicknames are also welcome.

・Hmmm... I don't know about that, so I'll pass.

・Administrator...I'll help you as much as I can. Fighting is pointless, right.

・I think it's a good idea. People should be judged rightly, but there are some things that the law can't handle.

・I'm glad everyone seems to be having a good time. It was rough at first. Because of someone's fault.

006/Rinne

・Hi, nice to meet you, admin. I'm Rinne. I'm Rinne, and I'd like to make a deal with you.

・I am the righteous one, right? At least... more than anyone else.

・Let's manage everyone here together. Yes, I know my place. I'm under you, and they're under me. That's it.

・I'm so glad we have a place like this! I just wish we could have done it sooner.

・The people here are all failures. But it's okay. Because I'm with you.

Bunny With A Vision AU!

Masterpost

- This is going to be the post where all the links and stories of this AU will be as I develop it over time, and I'll organize it as best I can!

During an unknown time period, a cosmic force of unfathomable proportions tears holes between realities, both big and small, snatching those unaware in a tear that led to a specific world....

In one world, a digitized simulation whose sole AI ringmaster administrator was in the middle of giving his 6 human avatar guests a rundown of the next adventure he had in mind, until a reality tear enveloped the purple one, confusing everyone and briefly causing chaos within the digital circus before he is taken, but not before adding in one final joke to humor himself.

In the other, the world was already war-torn and a bit empty on human life except for cybernetic robots, one of which was a giant TV-headed one. He was in the midst of using black smoke to teleport himself to another location, but a reality tear happened to appear, sending him far away from his home dimension, to somewhere far beyond....

Characters:

-Jax

The whimsy, mischievous, yet so annoying and jerkish asshole of the Amazing Digital Circus, he had been taken away from the now familiar simulated world he had come to call "home", initially thinking he had finally escaped. But nope! Jax was still in purple rabbit digital avatar, now apparently stranded in a big, desolate world that was far too realistic looking for Dentures' to have made-

"What, you expected the author to be writing everything? Nah! I can speak for myself, and boy, do I got things to say!"

"First of all, @$&^ the one who sent me to this place! Two, I hate the stupid monsters that roam everywhere in this stupid world, they ruin any sort of fun I have. Third, why am I stuck having to listen to a giant screen-faced robot who I can't even understand because he's talking gibberish!"

(In reverse) "I heard that." >:(

"Shush you. Eh, I guess this is my new circumstances, oh well. Be sure to be on the lookout for updates to the adventures me and the big guy get into, it'll be hilarious watching him do all the work! While I just sit back and relax now that I don't have to deal with that hammy AI or the others. Don't need 'em. Never have, and never will! Hahahaha!"

....Moving on.

-Visionet

-Visionet, or more often known as Titan TV Man (abbreviated TTVM), is a giant, TV head robot who can teleport with a black smoke effect, is all kinds of stoic and badass, yet cares for those who are smaller than him as comrades. His abilities are diverse and set him far apart from your regular TV head character, on top of being tall enough to look into a 4 or 5 story building (not that he'd do that mind you); plus he likes to swear or say some vulgar innuendos whenever he can, something that Jax gripes about since despite being WAY beyond the range of the Circus, he can't swear without the profanity filter. Visionet was just trying to teleport to a mission objective when he landed in a hostile world that seemingly was once full of life and is now roaming with all sorts of creepy monsters, but is now dead, with only a small purple rabbit jackass to act as company. The Titan makes it really fucking clear that he hates being the one pulling his weight while Jax just chills behind him. However...something within Visionet recognizes that there's more to Jax that meets the eye...

(In reverse) "On any other day, I would've crushed you within my fist, but for some reason you have something in your soul that stops me..."

"Is it my charm? It's gotta be my charm! I do try to be as presentable as possible, and that's just one part of me I have!"

(In reverse) "At times like this though, I severely question my own judgement." -_-

-Character 3: N/A

-Character 4: N/A

-Character 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, whatever: N/A

Touhou Rundown (Sources Included)

Well, I crashed out with my last post. Time to go into the real details now. At this point I think I'm done with mainly posting Touhou Project for now, given how so many people seem to accept the fact that the guidelines are apparently the rule of law now and anything done was not supposed to harm fans, even if the guy running the DMCAs is problematic and stubborn to people pleading to not delete their account for using a snippet of music. I'll still do derivative Touhou works because they are what drive me today, but expect something different in the future from perhaps Vocaloids and some Project Moon. Finally be free from just being a Touhou-only account. So here begins the info dump! If you are an avid Touhou fan, I would not read any further past the "keep reading" section. I held back on my last post as I was angry at specifically Ruw, but now I will break my peace on the inner circle of the project and expose the dirty side of it all. There are a lot of facts to this, and I will provide my sources.

To begin, next-door neighbor Undertale still has fan OSTs, with Materia Music Publishing (they are shady) specifically allowing this to happen with non-commercial products. In fact, they are well aware of how much fans help develop Undertale and Deltarune and are actively working with people who have trouble in both EN and JP spheres to get them resolved. Probably the reason why it's so big is that Toby Fox has gotten the idea of being very fan-friendly from his enjoyment of the Touhou Project. I use him as an example of somebody who is aware of his reach and impact. He even got to work with Zun himself! Which was a dream for him. He's aware of his position as a creator of Undertale and understands you have to maintain a good relationship with fans if there is a copyright issue. https://x.com/undertaleyellow/status/1743683972951839006?s=46 This is something I would like to see happen with the Touhou Project. An actual response rather than ignoring the issue and letting Ruw (Copyright Man) handle the situation. (Does he even have anybody else weighing in on this or just Ruw who handles everything for such a big project?) But now here come the hammer strikes. https://jiyugiga.sakura.ne.jp/about_zun%27smusic.html I doubt anything would be done for anybody using the tracks in a non-commercial way in the Touhou Project fandom, given that Ruw specifically doesn't want anybody using the soundtrack (probably intended by Zun), even if it is made with good intentions to help grow the project without any kind of payment. Yes, even a tiny portion of it counts as an infringement of these guidelines. Modifying the original sound data is also prohibited (I don't know what is meant by this, as it seems re-arranging or slowing down/speeding it up seems to be the intent.) I see Touhou fans also use official artwork extracted from the Touhou games, but I guess that's considered not official given how people aren't tearing each other down for using them. In fact, I learned that these guidelines aren't even the full list. Yes, ALL previous guidelines are to be followed. If you don't follow them, you better hope Ruw doesn't see you violate them whenever he feels you are violating guidelines, even if they are 20+ years old. He will block you if you have any kind of dissatisfaction with his choices while telling you you're stupid for breaking them. Keep in mind we have to get both EN and JP translations for this, which WILL cause problems due to the language barrier. This, alongside dealing with YouTube's bad copyright system, makes a bad mix given his attitude toward people, leading to many channels getting removed permanently. This is not a joke; multiple channels have been removed without any kind of response from Ruw to resolve this. Ruw is the same person who blocked people for accusing people of using AI art without basis and then deleted some recent tweets when Zun came out on Steam using AI. It definitely seems like Ruw has absolutely no contact with Zun, given the fact that he seemed to do a double take and deleted some posts when Zun revealed it to be true. (sources below for you to scour.) AI use from a CN fan who saved Ruw's tweets. (Some are on Ruw's account; some are deleted.) https://x.com/abbaccadd0/status/1921054312836333600 Guidelines JP (2024) https://touhou-project.news/guideline/ https://jiyugiga.sakura.ne.jp/about_zun%27smusic.html https://x.com/Ruw Specifically for people about the copyright (and some extra stuff) https://x.com/TerumiGaming/status/1924714786333266209 http://youtube.com/post/UgkxYwfgodtsQfeSOAF9Jmy8RpBupmJ7bBNT?si=GZgKcBGnXd5umHxZ

Ruw reposted a quote that he agrees with. He doesn't like people using anything related to official content. It's ironic when the Touhou Project started off as Zun taking assets from other series and never giving any credit while still copyright striking any kind of link to PC98 games that include others' work! It's been an open secret amongst those within the fandom who are aware of this. https://rec98.nmlgc.net/faq https://lainnet.arcesia.net/blog/2024_09_23_n01.html If you have read the links above. You will recognize this kind of dissonance. Zun seemingly wants people to create things themselves, but it seems he doesn't want people to find out he has double standards, striking down PC-98 games and hoping the fans don't notice his own rewrite of credits and "inspiration" for characters. This didn't happen in the 2000s; this happened in the 2020s. Very recent, even though PC-98 is considered abandonware by fans who think it's not okay to pirate modern-era games but is okay to "pirate/emulate" PC-98 games. Yes, Zun did do this; he did rewrite and replace credits and trace artwork. To this day, Zun has never mentioned why he has done so in an official way, and it seems he has cemented his decision to not speak about his previous works in an open manner. Fun fact! The THCrap that you use to patch the games was made by NMLGC, who retired from THCrap (you have read the links, right?). The same guy who has done so much for the automatic patching of the games with translations and bug fixes! He and the team working on it are the reason why you can play Touhou with the bug fixes and translations from around the world! Even though ZUN supports translations of the works, nobody cares to give credit to the team who works hard to translate and patch TH games. Now I have to ask a question. How did you come into interaction with the Touhou Project? Most definitely it was a secondary work and not an official interaction. (otherwise you pirated if you went through "official" english patch game.) It's the reason why "ScarletFlameFlandre" is so big on YouTube for the reuploads of OSTs from the Touhou Project. It's also the reason why there are so many reuploads of Touhou Project doujin music. Even though it's copyrighted too! You'll never see somebody complain in any of these reuploaded works unless some attention was drawn to it. Yet now there is a fuss about these reuploads. This feels like a Crunchyroll situation. People pirate and translate the games/music for the fans to interact with. People start getting an interest in it. It becomes so big that people officially start noticing. It gets mismanaged, and both parties are unhappy because fans don't have a good experience (they have to patch it themselves), and the creator doesn't get money due to some games not being available online or being sold. Now there are people who backtrack and want to virtue signal that they aren't part of the group who saw secondary stolen works and/or had friends who have seen these works. The one thing I know is that a wide majority of Touhou fans and humans in general don't like jumping through hoops to get to one thing, especially for music when the alternative is just searching it up on the same platform Keep in mind, big notice. The Touhou Project was never supposed to have left the East, by Zun's own admission. He had no plans to expand anywhere within the West but was surprised when there were people who were seemingly interested in his works, which then made him interested in spreading his influence to Western countries. I personally hope he still has the drive to connect to the Western fans and, in de facto, the global Touhou collective about this issue. The fact that it has become a problem now with the enforcement that Zun's lawyer has makes me less hopeful if there will ever be change. Eh, oh well, just another day for Touhou fans.

the american public school system is going places

....and it sure isn't anywhere good. warning: gun, attempted murder, & sexual assault mentions yes, this is a rant. if this is illegible to you, then congratulations, you're experiencing what it's like to read my fellow students writing.

lemme tell you all about the failure of an education system mine is. because trust me, it's bad.

ENGLISH & MATH 1------------------- There were kids in my 8TH GRADE language arts class who got stumped on a really hard word. the word? AVALANCHE. you know, the word meaning, at it's simplest, THINGS LIKE ROCKS AND SNOW FALLING DOWN A MOUNTAIN we had to do these two programs because the kids in the ENTIRE SCHOOL SYSTEM were so far behind "because of covid" the programs were one math and one LA, and we were told "students who show they don't need it will stop at some point while students who do will be taken out" these interfered with our actual learning. that's right, they did these IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR CLASSES. AND THEY NEVER EVEN STOPPED. like most of the kids didn't even do them in the first place we weren't allowed to listen to music while we did it. we were required to sit in SILENCE as we did these shitshows, which hindered a LOT of kids because some of us need sound to be able to focus. the english program told me that the verb "serve" (as in, to serve in the military) was not a verb. the math program forced you to do math their way, which is really bad when you've got kids who are able to do that same math a different way and are being marked as failures for no fucking reason. oh yeah, and the school computers have grammarly installed. by the admins. the administrators installed grammarly on our computers and set them up. they're encouraging us to use grammarly. the school.

[ID: An image labeled "Extensions", listing extensions on a school computer installed by the school administrators. The extensions included in the image are "Equatio," "Gaggle," "GoGuardian," "GoGuardian License," "Google Docs Offline," Google Keep Chrome Extension," and "Grammarly: AI Writing and..." End ID.] SCHOOL SAFETY 2------------------- PFFT SAFETY, MY ASS fun fact: there was a bag of ammunition found on the track, and i'm pretty sure a gun in a car. did they send us home once they found out there was no immediate threat? no. did they move us to safer locations when the discovery of such items was made? no. there's been rumors that kids that have been expelled last year are returning this year. those kids are expelled for reasons like attempted murder and sexual assault. and people are saying they're coming back. i'll update this if they do or not.

TEACHERS AND DISCIPLINE 3------------------------------ like school safety, discipline doesn't exist. or, it does, but it's so weak because i guess the school is afraid of upsetting parents or something, they don't actually punish kids the way they need to, and punish kids who don't need to be punished (you come to class late again because you were in the bathroom because we don't let you go for the first twenty minutes of class? lunch detention for you.), and seemingly have never heard of the term "praise" before. this leads to kids not caring and giving up, because there's no reason to try and the punishments mean nothing. teachers are quitting their jobs left and right because they just can't deal with the kids being disruptive and not doing their work because they can get away with it no matter how strict or lenient the teacher is. this is a problem for students who actually try, because now we can't focus, we get bad grades, we're grouped with the students who purposely don't learn, and now we don't care either and don't see the point in trying to learn anymore. one of the counselors place blame on hurting students. the person kids are expected to talk to when having a hard time (and required to have as their counselor by some stupid rule) is practically telling students their struggles are all their fault. i've heard a girl was raped and she was told it was her fault by that counselor. and the admins didn't stop to think for even a second "hey maybe we shouldn't keep this counselor, they're kinda sorta not doing their job" SCHEDULE 4----------- last year, they changed the middle school schedule to "match the high school" this meant we have five minutes to get to each class (not needed when 90% of your classes are five tiles across the hall), classes are an hour at most (one of the classes was an 1:30 instead of 1 hour) since classes are so much shorter, teachers can't even get through all of their lessons or even all of their UNITS before the school year ends. CONCLUSION 5-------------- now, let's do some thinking, something i don't think any of the kids in this damned school do. with the lack of safety, reason to try, inability to finish the units we need to finish, and failure to teach kids effectively, what do you think that causes? if you guessed "under-educated adults", you're correct! congratulations!

Sooooo.

I just checked something on mobile, and that means having to deal with the ads which, sure ok I guess. Usually I either ignore them, or grumble to myself if they are particularly teeth grindy like the diet ads. Because really, Tumblr? Can we just not? Can we just yeet these and their fatphobic bullshit into the nearest trashfire? Just sell me gadgets and gizmos aplenty or something.

So normally I would have zero inclination to share one of these. The less seen of them the better. But I'll make an exception this once. Because, well.

Tumblr, I have questions.

I just...

Ignoring the bullshittery of the topic with the barely legible 'meal plans" that I'm sure are to die for. (As in they'd kill you if you actually followed them for real.) What in the seven fandom hells even IS this. 😂

Just look at that thing and let it sink in for a second.

So you start with the 45 to 55s.

Weird place to start, but ok. You get dude who looks like he ran away from a conan the barbarian game with a woman where the only thing they did to make her look "older" was to give her sort of vaguely grey hair. Has the designer ever seen a woman in their 40's early 50's? Or seen any humans in that age range? Any humans at all even? That bicep is bigger than her whole head. Also why are they naked? And why are they the only ones that look computergame rendered compared to the more "photorealistic" ones next to them?

Not to mention none of these "people" look particularly happy or excited about this challenge they are trying to sell you. What is the message here? Take our challenge and be so miserable you need naked hugging times in space to recover? I mean, that's more honest than most diet ads then.

So we move onto the 25 to 33 bracket.

Weird age to cut it off at, but sure. I guess this age group can expect to suddenly feel the urge to have "supportive Bro time" as part of their need to recover from the hells of depriving the body of natural energy sources. But look at that manly support. Look at the nuzzling, I mean the smelling of eachother's manly musk, I mean the bros will be bros solidarity with definitely no subtext as displayed on the subtext site.

On to the 33 to 44 aged.

I guess if you are 33 you can pick your fighters meal plans. But not if you're 44 or 45 then you only get ONE! This one is the most ambiguous and thus boring. Is it a particularly muscly lady, a msclady if you will, or just a well hidden second dude? Or could they actually have tried to appeal to beyond the gender binary, quickly confused themselves, and then just went meh throw in some muscles hide the head and it will probably be fine. We'll never know. So let's put this down as ambiguous snuggles and hope that dude goes to see a doctor for whatever AI art went wrong with that arm.

Now all of that was vaguely nonsensical and stupid, but nothing that would compel me to share. No that's for our next contestants age groups.

So, my 55+ dudes. No ladies mind, the only feminine presenting people allowed in this challenge need to be between 45 to 55, maybe 33+. The rest of you ladies get to escape the challenge and find your own reasons to do some sad naked cuddling.

But my 55+ dudes, you get the chance, nay the unexplainably privilege of tenderly embracing a lion.

Was the lion rewarded to him by the challenge as a comfort animal? Was he already in a committed partnership with the lion? Was the lion just nearby and got caught up in a moment of emotion? And what has any of this to do with diets? Who knows? Certainly not me that's for sure. But our totally real and not badly AI photoshopped apex predator is clearly making the most of snuggling up to the muscly 55+ dude who incidentally looks younger than the two previous categories. Conclusion: cuddling lions in your time of need may in fact be the source of anti aging. Let's all not try this at home.

And then we arrive at the whippersnappers amongst the lineup of tender manly dudes.

You get to gently kiss a panther on the head. As one does with an apex predator, obviously. Funny though how there are more feline paramours than any other category what with the ambiguous third. So furry is clearly the ultimate relationship dynamic for sad naked cuddling in the aftermath of their product. Maybe they should have given them all cats then. Although I must say the panther seems far less pleased to be used for comfort than the lion did. Maybe they didn't feel photogenic that day. Maybe it's a relationship on the rocks. Maybe they were not paid enough to deal with this shit. Neither were we, my friend. Neither were we.

So, as I said. Tumblr, I got questions.

But I don't suspect you have any answers.

[mesaprotector]

Finished Ever17. Well, I have a couple of scenes to go back and unlock, and I've been told to play the Drama CDs, but nothing too serious.

This game wrecked my life more thoroughly than anything I've played or watched in the past six years. Fortunately I've already begun recovery, and hopefully I'll be back to normal before getting around to Remember11. :>

First, I'll brag a little—I'm normally pretty dumb when it comes to figuring out mysteries, but I guessed the 2017/2034 twist very early, right at the start of my second playthrough after finishing You Good End on my first. (What clued me in, of all things, was Takeshi-side You immediately saying her full name, when Kid-side You had been so hesitant about it.)

This game also tested my very limited ability to recognize Japanese voice actors (Tsugumi in the lemur suit, Sara in the flashbacks in her route, the Kid/Takeshi stuff), and I did surprisingly well on that too.

Okay, now that I've built myself up I'll immediately send that image crashing down—I spent probably three-quarters of the games runtime being absolutely, hopelessly into Tsugumi (while simultaneously relating to her hard—I don't claim any of this makes sense). I've had crushes on fictional characters before but it's always been like, "oh, they're cute, and funny, and I admire them." Not whatever full-on obsession this was. There was a good two week period where all I wanted to talk about with my friends was this stupid girl and her stupid hamster. I would willingly let her ruin my life. Somehow I still have friends.

At least... maybe because the direction her arc went at the end, where her feelings circle around motherhood, is one I can't even pretend to relate to—the feelings are gradually starting to fade. She's still my favorite character in the game by far, and my second-favorite overall in Uchikoshi's stuff (third if I allow myself to count AITSF Mizuki as a separate character from her less-interesting AINI version).

The ending in general was just kind of okay, which has been my usual opinion about Uchikoshi games—some very peak moments, but a bit too much handwaving of the most interesting mysteries right at the end. (Blick Winkel and some of Coco's whole deal felt pretty contrived to me, and I had really wanted to know what happened with kick the can.)

I liked all the characters, not just Tsugumi—I liked 'Aki' You's relatively grounded but interesting and charismatic personality, and Sora was surprisingly fun as someone who usually doesn't care for robot/AI girls. Oh and that dweeb Kaburaki. Hey, Okuhiko was my favorite character of Never7—I love cringe failmen who throw tantrums over eating too many tuna sandwiches.

Sara's route was perhaps the only point at which I wasn't that invested, but it was still decent and she's still likeable enough. There's certainly some weirdness looking back, like how the You/Hokuto hookup is basically irrelevant to the rest of the story, Sora kind of gets sidelined outside her own arc... the writing definitely feels unpolished. Though the art is nice enough, and the music (particularly "Drittes Auge Nehmen" and "Jen Nach") is very good.

I don't think I can fairly rate this anything below a 9/10, which is a rare rating from me. Even without the hamster tsundere, it's a very good sci-fi mystery with good atmosphere that would probably clear half of the VNs I've played—and with her, well, there's no question.

Thess vs The Media Machine

There are three upcoming things that I just ... do not get.

Cruella 2: Yes, the movie that mostly only got talked about because it literally established Cruella de Ville's origin story as "Dalmatians killed my parents" and became a meme ... is getting a sequel. Why? How? I mean, I thought a Villain Origin Story Prequel for Cruella de Ville was stupid to begin with, riding on the coattails of Maleficent (who had a much more compelling origin story, thanks), but a sequel? Disney, if you have to give us Villain Origin Story Prequel Movies? GIVE US URSULA THE SEA WITCH FROM THE LITTLE MERMAID! Don't give us a sequel movie of the origin story of a woman whose sole motivation was supposed to be, "I want a spotted white fur coat and snow leopard's too expensive so I'll make it out of puppies".

How To Train Your Dragon Live Action Remake: Oh, come on. Half the beauty of that series was the character design. And you want to make it all just ... live action people? Do you have any concept of how boring that is by comparison? And I still don't get why. Like ... the movie's right there. I have it on DVD. It's still awesome. We don't need live action remakes of everything, for fuck's sake. Half the time, the live-action (or at least photo-realistic) version is just ... this soulless husk of the animated one. See for example ... Aladdin, The Jungle Book, The Lion King... (I'm not sure how I feel about The Little Mermaid but ... lemme put it this way. I don't care what colour skin Ariel's actress has, but if they make Ursula some slender waif, I'm going to be pissed. I mean, I get the issues involving villains being fat or otherwise conventionally unattractive, but the Ursula in the cartoon version owned her deal and made it ... frankly, sexy. So really, no, leave her fat and living her best life.)

Watchmen: The Animated Series: ...dear. Fucking. Gods. The Zach Snyder version was ... okay, but they really did tone Rorshach down. Like, a lot. But from what I saw of the trailer for the animated version? They put him as a centre-stage hero in the style of Batman. Did the jackasses who wrote the premise for this even read the comics? Sure, some guys decided that Rorshach was the GOAT from the comics, but they had a tendency to be ... well, in the same basic family of incel that Rorshach himself was as a character. That got whittled all the way down in the Snyder film, and now they've got Cartoon Rorshach acting like Batman. No one needs, wants, or asked for this. Alan Moore must be spinning in his grave. (No, I know he's not dead, but have you met Alan Moore? He's totally the type to sleep in his own grave.)

Gods, no wonder studio execs think they can replace writers with AI. So much of this seems to be entertainment by marketing committee while good shit gets cancelled Because Reasons. Though I guess they're at least somewhat less obvious about "Give us something that we can get a merch line out of" than they were in the 80s, because no one is getting a line of action figures out of Watchmen because there is only so far they can sanitise it. (I think. The trailer gives me some concerns in the "We animated just enough of the Zach Snyder film to get people watching and then just turned Rorshach into Batman" sort of way.)

DLC Theories (and SPOILERS)

(WARNING! this journal contains spoilers! read at your own risk! also, i have a few theories about the game as well, understand that these are THEORIES! they have not yet been confirmed or denied. please do NOT make some war over these theories PLEASE! your allowed to agree or disagree with these theories i have, i don't mind/care, but don't be a jerk about it. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!) ok, 1st theory: i seen a LOT of people hating Gregory's guts for betraying Cassie when she needed it most, as in the game, it looked like he cut the elevator wires and sending Cassie back down with the Mimic who has the ability to copy voices (that's gonna be important soon so keep that in mind) my theory is that what if Gregory DIDN'T betray Cassie? what if the Mimic picked up that walkie-talkie after exposing itself to Cassie and tricked her AGAIN? because (in theory) i don't think Gregory, who took down 3 big ass animatronics (especially Monty's ass) and even faced off that spring-trap corpse himself as well! (i am told that the Afton we fought off in Security Breach wasn't Afton himself, so i'll let you decide) and in the game we see cutouts of Gregory comforting Cassie when no one came to her B-Day (from what we see and hear in the DLC) so SURELY Gregory wouldn't backstab Cassie like that, plus, Gregory seemed like a smart kid! so he would have at least tell Cassie to hang in there until he found a way to help her as Cassie came back to the Ruins to save Gregory. but then again, we don't know as the DLC gave us more questions than answers. so it looks like we'll behaving another game coming out soon. 2nd and a half theory: a lot of people be hating on Glamrock Bonnie's official design (which is stupid, he ain't our character) but also REALLY leaning on the theory that Monty took him out. which MAY be a possibility....but i was studying what his injuries looked like and i don't see any claw marks anywhere (now it COULD just be me, i do have shit vision so who knows) i actually got 1 and a half theories here. first one is Vanny used the bots to kill off Glamrock Bonnie because he walked in on her while she had one of the missing kids with her. second theory he accidently got crushed in bowling machine. say he slipped or got stuck in the machine, because when you find Glamrock Bonnie's body, BOTH his legs are detached. last theory i have for him is a lot more far fetched, but hey, a guess is a guess. what if the Mimic caused Glamrock Bonnie's death?? we don't know fully about the Mimic, other than it's a killing machine that can copy voices. but again, who knows. maybe i'm right, maybe i'm wrong. but maybe the next game will explain more 3rd theory: people are really wishing that we're just dealing with AI and not the souls. which MAY be the case of the game. but we still don't know if it really is AI or if Vanny who took the other missing children in the Pizzaplex were still around but as spirits. it's VERY cryptic, and also i think this would be afar fetched theory, but this has been in my mind, so there's that. last theory: do ya'll remember the comics you get when you get the alternate endings? i think we're seeing some parts of those comics in the DLC like puzzle pieces. like the "prototype" Glamrock Freddy had those scars from being attacked by bots and how he has no head. another comic where Vanny leaves her mask behind, we got Cassie having it given to her. and we also see missing posters of Gregory like how we see missing newspapers of other children when we get the bad ending where we see that Gregory has no family (from what we seen) who knows! but what do you think?? lemme know your theories in the comments below!

i'm pan (questioning idk) /demi, and use she/they/it, i'm an ENTP 7w8 (still not sure about the enneagram part lmao)

i can be quiet at first if i dont know people, but if i "click" with a person i can practically make friends with them in an instant and am very energetic most of the time around that specific person. i often deal with difficult emotional situations using humor, and i have a difficult time with how to act during serious conversations so i can come off as uncaring or oblivious sometimes. very few things make me genuinely mad, but when i do get mad i tend to run away either figuratively or literally.

also, i really really enjoy discussing my hyperfixations with people who know about them. currently they're SCP (and anything based on paranormal/anomalous sci-fi) and AI as a topic. to most people i know, they're my entire personality. i'm also very much a music person, i have it on all the time and listen to a lot of different types of songs (will wood and jhariah are my favorites though). i also have several OCs that i love writing about (mainly because I'm too worried to write for existing fandoms because i'd mischaracterize them), and can go on at length about the imaginary characters/situatuons in my head lol. i love to draw on my own hands/arms, I'm not too good at drawing in general so usually I'll just do symbols or patterns, and i also make edits sometimes spending up to 6 hours on one project.

i'm pretty smart (according to the tests) but act kind of stupid/chaotic with people i'm comfortable with. i also love learning more about my hyperfixations or even different topics- if i'm remotely interested in the subject matter, i could end up staying up researching it for the majority of the night. speaking of which, i'm practically an insomniac by choice, and have trained myself to function relatively normally on around 4-5 hours of sleep or less.

i usually struggle with explicitly expressing my true emotions for someone, and when i do it can be really awkward, so i try to show my affection in other ways like spending time with them and listening to them. i also worry about whether something i did upset someone i love, and can often start feeling insecure about whether i'm still cared about.

in a partner i guess I'd want someone who'd tolerate my personality, since many people don't. also someone who's willing to listen to my rambles on different things, and encourages me or matches my energy idk. i guess also someone who'd be willing to occasionally reassure/validate me when i get insecure.

i think thats all! thanks :]

I know exactly who to pick...

Scout!

He's so glad that you're someone he can be energetic and chaotic with without being judged

He learns to understand how you deal with situations, and so he makes sure to adjust to how you act

He's not as good with staying awake as long as you but he still wants to be close to you so he'll often fall asleep beside you while you research stuff

He'll happily listen to your rambles, and he tries his best to remember everything so he can talk to you about it again
