Paradoxes enivrants - Chapitre 1 (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1480908111-paradoxes-enivrants-chapitre-1?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=Post_Singlet Un texte brut et sincère, oscillant entre introspection et désillusion. À travers des images fortes et des références culturelles, l'auteur explore les contradictions d'une existence marquée par la quête d'évasion et le refus de grandir. Entre révolte contre la société et espoir déchu, l'écriture capte l'essence d'une vie qui oscille entre chaos et quête de stabilité, sans jamais vraiment y arriver. Nouveau dans l'univers de l'écriture, l'auteur partage ces bribes d'émotions, sans prétention ni format fixe.

sad (on the other side of the world)

Some motivation of mine anyone?

It is actually very simple (again)… …once you observe some socio-emotional dynamics;

on a personal level, the character infers behaviour on a scale from:

my wealth is my wealth, my woes are your woes

(sociopathic), to

my woes are my woes, my wealth is your wealth

(altruistic).

I see this as something very basic, society-defining maybe, when observed with statistical significance. Now, just picture, in your mind's eye, a "sociopath" and an "altruist", let your natural generative intelligence draw pictures of those characters for you. Open your eyes; is your sociopath character deeply sad and looking sick*? Is your altruist character standardly cheerful and looking healthy**?

*and I'm not saying that sadness necessarily lacks beauty, I adore "goth" myself, just making an observation of difference

**and it may or may not be annoying to you, shaming you into moving your own character further towards altruism, or making you suspect your typical sociopathic deceit

Now my idea here is, this basic "metaphysical" ("spiritual") quality of sadness is a useful thing to evaluate for a culture that you come across, and that it places that culture accurately on the scale above. I claim that within a particular society, this property is reasonably consistent: no, altruists won't live across the street with sociopaths, not for too long for certain. I mean, a society balances itself around some default expectations of the default interpersonal intentions — and they don't have to be near those extremes of the Altruistic-Sociopathic scale, of course, but they will be significantly different for different societies' contexts.

On my personal note from my individual multicultural observations, this typical emotional state, :( :| :) on human faces on that society's "streets" reflect this A-S quality much better than, say, average people's actual wealth or woes.

So, with this quality being so profound in a culture, I don't think you can "explain", "mansplain" or even "womansplain" your basic active reasoning to "the other side" (far from you on the scale), any such understanding is something that, if at all possible, should grow on someone, given proper time, and, exactly like a physical change, at the younger age the better, of course. In some cultures, it's just polite to be sad, you know, being cheerful in the wrong context is an indecency!

Since Information Technologies, such as human language, are intrinsically connected with human emotions — including the emotion of sadness, the contemporary corporate IT, trying to accommodate as many users as possible, or more precisely, make that one User Interface so that as many people can be converted into their usage model actors (something primitive enough so their machines can regularly deal with, theoretically, at low cost, with minor human resource investment in maintenances).

Naturally, a minority's interests are being ignored, and it wouldn't be a surprise for you if I claim that "altruists" are an IT users' minority... ...so, sad sociopathic people need to be cheered up by colourful buttons, interrupting animations and childish style… so they don't mind being forced into elaborate protocols with machines, while being disconnected from even their closest human peers, with ever greater interaction policing.

I see an opportunity for IT of the other end of the scale. Let's not have those cheerful interfaces of sad people. Let's have our sad minimalistic interfaces instead, and if possible, with some automation, "look ma, no interface at all". Let's minimise the time people work with computer terminals, let's further minimise computer desk time, let's play outside more; who knows, it may even benefit our natural-cultural environment balancing or something. Let's put our human connections first, and extract useful (potentially, business) protocols from our natural interactions. Let's restructure our IT, so IT serves us first, and then, the interfaces to the sad people's corporate IT world will emerge by themselves as needed.

Thinking about Underground Killer by Lee Sookyung again.

The most obvious place to start is at it's compariosn to Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Now I haven't read it and I'm not yet crazy enough to read a book just to be able to write a better orv meta (I mean I could. it's 22k words it isn't that long) but I DID read the sparknotes summary so I can make surface level comparison... but take everything I say about NFTU with a grain of salt as I'll be interpreting it creatively to fit ORV's narrative LOL

NFTU is split in two parts. The first part is a collection of notes from a lonely, misanthropic 40 something man full of self hate who feels paralyzed by inaction, overcome by inertia, unable to make a single decision about his own life. He is totally alienated from society and figuratively "underground"

I can see a fucked up inversion of Lee Sookyung's story here. Women in abusive marriages often struggle to leave for years and even decades, paralyzed by fear and learned helpnessness into not making a single decision. Underground Killer could be about her marriage to Dokja’s father and her life during that period, struggling with the desire to escape and her own fear. NFTU critises russian society - UK must have criticized the korean society that allows women to be abused this way.

But unlike the narrator of NFTU she DID make a decision in the end, she did something that required tremendous willpower- she killed her husband. Well, that's what she wrote in the book anyway.

I think Underground Killer must have been a story of how an intelligent woman could be driven to murder (providing an in depth motive so no one suspects she didn't, I suppose) and clearly it felt real. As this candid look into domestic violence's toll shook the country enough to inspire positive change in legislation. How did that happen? I assume it sparked some manner of protests and outrage and became a symbol of the feminist movement (since in no reality would it be the MEN pushing for a change in law to protect women's rights. be so fr).

It must have been a polarizing and controversial topic where everyone had their own take. I'm thinking what the reactions were.

Like I said, the women were mostly on Sookyung's side as they probably saw her actions as brave and inspirational. I'm thinking men absolutely hated it due to it's criticism of patriarchy and the feminist themes. Media at large was enchanted by the spectacle of it all and milked it for all it's worth. Kim Dokja’s peers were too young to care about the Adult thing everyone is talking about on TV at the time it came out.

Later, in high school it was the most fucked up version of "your mom" jokes possible and "don't look at kim dokja too long, or he's gonna snap and kill everyone haha"

At Minosoft it was "Kim Dokja...? Wait that Kim Dokja from that thing on TV a while ago? The son of that woman?" Just gossip.

People like Sagah who don't listen to gossip but read are vaugely familiar with it as a famous book a while ago

Then the apocalypse happens and it is irrelevant to anyone who isn't kim dokja

"You can't have to many pins on your backpack. Don't put to many stickers on your computer or waterbottle either. You look skanky."

No. I look badass and cool and like I have a lot of knowledge about stuff that you should talk to me about.

if you're not in the mood for horny hour, what about fluffy hour? need some wilf and mundane clexa during these crazy times

Honestly that might be the best choice!

While I'll accept hornier asks, they'd definitely have to have some fluff in there 🥰

It might be a bit too late today but maybe tomorrow I'll start responding to some of the asks I already have around 5 pm WET (we're back on wet baby!) and we can keep the train moving from there 🩷

Fluffy (with possibility of some horny) hour tomorrow, sunday, at 5 pm wet! 🩷

watching Light on Me and it's good! it's so obvious shinwoo is crushing on taekyung and has a lot of feelings he's keeping inside :( baby :( but I'm so confused about the president.... is he also crushing on taekyung? is he just a confident gay? is everything he's doing actually just platonic? in any case, shinwoo is a jealous disaster and while it's endearing (and shows/makes it obvious that he isn’t actually an asshole he's just a soft boy who can't deal with his emotions) i just want him and taekyung to actually get to friends stage and then Date!!!

I don't think 🌽 is inherently bad.

I think SW has been corrupted by the patarachy and capitalism.

I think the stigmatization of sex work is a huge reason why so much abuse happens in the sex work industry.

I think stigmatizing SW consumption makes it harder to call out people who abuse SWer and shut down many productive conversations about SW.

I think how sociting is saying SW is dehumanizing to work is a self fulfilling prophecy.

dipper vs manliness is such a trans man episode because it encompansess a trans guy's need to pass and sucum to the trap of toxic masculinity, then realise its a stupid socital expectation and break free from gender norms.

dipper is so transgender
