#so they could not stop me

it continues to astound me how people my age ā¦ just kinda donāt know how to use computers. like, i was born in 2001, right? iām an āolder gen zā. what is it they say, ādigital nativesā? there is a significant portion of my age cohort that is proficient with computers, but the rest just arenāt. and the non-proficient share goes up and up and up the later the birth years get. itās not that they donāt use information technology, they use it every day, but itās phones and tablets and, at most, for school, chromebooks, which are computer-shaped but not much else. like, mostly iām thinking about file systems. people donāt understand them.
i probably wouldnāt either if it werenāt for the fact that since i was a small kid iāve been into (1) pc gaming and more importantly installing mods for pc games, and (2) writing, starting out with word 2004 as my primary word processor, because my dad had an old license lying around around the time i started writing longer stuff that wasnāt practical to keep in physical notebooks, and only moving on to google docs and cloud storage in my teens, when school forcibly assigned me a chromebook that i HATED because it is literally just a glorified internet terminal. thatās all it does.
like, it was modding minecraft back in 2012 when it was actually a bit difficult that taught me the basics of How Puter Work. so i was wrangling files and directories starting at, like, nine or ten years old. i used the family desktop and it sat at windows xp for so long we skipped vista entirely, because xp was fine and upgrading cost money, until i modded minecraft too hard and it caught fire and we had to replace it lmao
so iāve always just assumed everyone else my age knew roughly as much as i did, that i wasnāt particularly adept, just kinda lower end of average. but nope! for my age cohort, iām actually a genius! just the fact that i sometimes have intuitions about what might be wrong, and donāt need to consult the kinda arcane manuals every time, because iāve troubleshot PCs enough times on my own, makes me a god among mortals. and iām only slightly exaggerating.
this effect is even more pronounced for my little brother (2004). he knows more than me tbh, especially hardware-wise. and on the software end he has more practical knowledge than me, iāve gotten kinda complacent. back in the day, i modded our minecraft clients and he set up servers for us on our raspberry pi. (we had to limit the world to a like 500x500 block square otherwise it would melt lol.)
meanwhile his friends can barely manoeuvre chromeOS because theyāre used to the even more locked-down iOS. if a program isnāt on the app store, they have no idea how to install it. whatās the ādownloads directoryā. and my friends are like this too! even the very online ones! especially the very online ones! itās so fucked!
#this was prompted by a reddit post as well as sims 4 modding and cc moving to curseforge#which is only āeasierā if you want EA to nanny your game even MORE#literally thereās nothing as easy as installing mods for sims 4. what the fuck#and you know i š“āā ļø that shit and on the site i use for that sims players keep making absolute FOOLS of themselves#they donāt know what a zip file is. mainly because they canāt see the file type extension because windows hides that by default now#im guessing#people going into hysterics over a .bat file in the comments section#itās EXTREMELY embarrassing#she speaks#simsbloggin#young woman yells at cloud?#a tentative entry into girl gamerhood#the only reason i got into pc games was because my parents did not want my brother and i to play video games at all#or at least as little as possible#so they were never going to buy a console. but the family pc was already there#so they could not stop me#ā¦ and then years down the line they ended up helping to finxance leagues more expensive gaming pcs#my birthday present a couple of years ago was 75% of my graphics card lolololol#my current pc which tbf is a monster and hilariously overkill for most games i play cost 24k SEK which was all my money at the time#like. all of it.#i had been saving for YEARS#oh! we did get a wii. in like 2012. mainly because it had movement games on it i think#like just dance and shit

*after the events of the odyssey*
*telemachus and odysseus walking down to the docks, after odysseus said he'd go sailing with his son*
(listen the man had missed 20 years of his son's life, he could ask ody to dress in drag & do the hula and odysseus would already be shouting "LUAU" in a grass skirt before tele finished his sentence)
telemachus: i'm so excite- *looks ahead*
telemachus: *stops walking* oh no *sad noises*
odysseus: *still walking* what's wrong son?
telemachus: *points to the sea beyond ithaca's shores* poseidon must be angry today, look at the storm in the distance
odysseus: *looks ahead but without worry on his face* no need to worry, we can still go sailing, follow me
telemachus: *confused but follows his dad*
*both make it to the docks*
odysseus: you get started, i've just got something to do & then i'll join you on the ship
*telemachus hops on the ship and odysseus turns to face the sea*
odysseus: *red eyes activate* i'm. going. sailing. with . my. son.
*the sea storm dissipates in record speed*
odysseus: good.
odysseus: *red eyes deactivate*
odysseus: *turns to telemachus smiling like nothing happened* shall we go then?
telemachus: *happy but very confused*
telemachus: *mumbling to himself*what just happened?
#if you listen closely you could hear a whimper from the sea the minute ody activated divine rage#nothing will stop him spending time with his son#poseidon: see the storm has gone! ... please don't stab me#athena is back in the palace with penelope#weaving a new tapestry (family photo) together#odysseus epic#poseidon epic#telemachus#epic the musical#epic: the musical#crack#it came to me in a dream okay#epic the musical spoilers#epic spoilers#?#is it spoilers?#i don't wanna be yelled at so i'll put spoilers

Just outside the [ANGEL]'s line of sight,
two puppets recognize each other.
#my art#deltarune#kris#spamton#im not sure how in character this is but it made me sad when i thought of it so now you all have to feel it too#im so sorry you two i wish i could save you#but when i look away you stop existing so the only mercy i can grant you is a gentle hand on the crossbar

'The cage is open. You can walk out anytime you want. Why are you still in there?'
#Homelander#The Boys#my art#for the record - I hated the 'You could have broken out of here any time you wanted' line#not because I thought it was poorly written#but because I found it painfully accurate#'If it was so bad why didn't you just leave. If you hated it so much why didn't you just tell me to stop.'#rot in peace Babs. I'm glad you didn't get any Fudgie

thanks @chipper-smol for getting me ISAT i will be so irresponsible with the looping
#the real reason why you arent allowed to do this in game is because the dev knew we'd be nowhere close to finish it if we could#too much power and not enough responsibility etc etc. i dont even know if siffrin would want to stop looping once he figures out he can#do this. āstardust do you want to get out of the fucking loop or not stop smothering yourself on the fighters jugsā LMAOOO#i havent played it yet bc im gonna go in blind and stream it on call so 3 other ppl can watch me cry like a weenie in real time#my art#myart#in stars and time#isat#isat isabeau#isat siffrin#isabeau#siffrin#in stars and time fanart#isat fanart#isafrin#shitpost#i am. so fucking sorry

Fic Idea where Fiddleford helps Stan rebuild the portal, but Stan finds out that Fiddleford has a wife and he's like
"You have a WIFE?? That DIDN'T marry you to steal your car and money???? What are you DOING here???"
"Yeah, well.... She's better off thinking I'm dead somewhere....."
"A WIFE. That LOVES you. Get outta here and go explain yourself, Idiot!!"
"She and our son shouldn't have to deal with--"
"YOUR SON???!!?!!??"
Anyways, so Stan helps Fiddleford reach out and explain himself to his wife, but expresses that he wants to keep being in Gravity Falls, so his wife and kid go to live with them in The Shack instead.
Blah blah blah, bonding happens, Stan bags Fiddleford AND his wife and becomes a step dad, God bless š
#I don't see enough of Fiddleford's wife ngl#i just want Stan to be loved#this fic idea has been in my mind for ages š#LET THEM BE POLYAMOROUS AND IN LOVE!!!! RIGHT NOW!!!!#Stan is such a poly bi-con TRUST š#Stan and Fiddleford's wife help Fidds stop using the memory gun#Fiddleford and his wife help Stan feel loved#JUST HEAR ME OUT THEY COULD HAVE A BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP#Tate gets 2 dads for the price of 0#cause in canon Fiddleford left when he was a baby and lost his mind so he didn't get any dads#let that kid grow up in an unbroken house hold š#omg you know how in canon Tate works at the bait shop next to the lake#Stan would SO take Tate fishing#he would be such a good dad guys give him a chanceš#cole's talking#gravity falls#grunkle stan#stanley pines#fiddleford hadron mcgucket#fiddleford mcgucket#fiddlestan#fiddleford x stanley#fiddleford x fiddleford's wife x stanley#just hear me out guys š#fiddleford's wife

I truly, TRULY do not know how to say this, because the fact that I have to say it makes me feel like I am losing my grip on reality. But no, in the post-capitalistic anarchist utopia, I will not be relying on āautistic minecraft girliesā to be building inspectors because - and this may shock you - one of those occupations takes years of education in how to read and interpret hundreds of thousands of lines of regulations based on complicated math and physics that were the result of decades of tragedy and death, and the other one involves playing a childrenās video game.
#i am begging this website. BEGGING it. to stop acting like building codes are state oppression#and please stop reducing blue collar jobs to 'so easy any handyman could do it with a youtube video'#that's how people fucking die#i didn't spend five years learning how to do my job safely to watch people online tell me it could've just been a course in high school#i know that this is like. a minority minority opinion and not really worth getting worked up over#but it's so annoying to see supposed leftists denigrating blue collar jobs like this#same poster also opined that we won't need garbagemen#because 'if the trash is bothering people they'll figure out a way to clean it without having to pick it up'#like what??? does that even fucking mean????#construction

On autonomy, and what it means to be Obliged to Help.
Bonus:
#a homestuck walks into an antechamber and asks#hey is anybody going to make this dynamic wholly deterministic and thus dubiously consensual by its very nature#ANYWAY bigger ramble below. scroll down like usual#isat spoilers#isat#isat fanart#isat siffrin#isat loop#sifloop#THATS RIGHT WE'RE STILL SHIP TAGGING IT BABYYYY#in stars and time#in stars and time fanart#lucabyteart#RAMBLE START: anyway i think loop is wrong here. they have it backwards. as-- in my opinion--#the main reason they could be called back into existence postcanon is because *their* wish for help is still not complete#they still need help. siffrin still needs help. neither of them will ever stop needing help.#they will thus uphold the wish until the end of siffrin's natural lifespan.#that said. what does it mean that loop can be so wholly forced to abide by siffrin's wants?#(assuming the dagger cutscene posession is them being forced to uphold the 'help siffrin' wish via harsh universe logic)#[as opposed to something capricious and cruel the change god did. which feels out of character for the change god to me?]#much like how the island wish and duplicate objects are neutered by simply sliding off people's brains...#is loop subtly ushered toward their wish? obviously it's not a full override (see: the bossfight). but is there any interference?#and if so. so what? does it matter? if they don't notice? is it even real if they don't notice?#and even if they do notice. the universe leads we follow. how much do either of them value their free will in a belief system like that?#the whole game is dedicated to siffrin habitually NOT excersizing his free will. doing things the same Every Time.#Loop ESPECIALLY does this. predetermined predetermined predetermined even in the FACE OF CHANGE. REFUSING. ANY CHOICE.#Maybe they'd even be comforted by having a universe-ordained purpose even if it is subservient. even if its to Him.#(though. i can't see siffrin enjoying the idea that someone is subservient TO them... then all their suffering is his fault...)#loop got into this mess via WANTING too much. no more free will. can't be trusted with it. take it away from them.#but yeah. gets my greasy detective pony hands all over this. and everyone please do remember i like to make characters Outright Wrong A Lot
