Apparently there's currently discussion in science (humanities in particular) about whether video essays could be accepted as academic writing on par with the academic papers we currently have
I think that's awesome as fuck tbh
#brief ramble#a lot of “texts” these days are visual media#it only makes sense that discussion of it should be able to emulate this#and so many video essayists already do academia level research and writing#philosophy tube#hbomberguy#defunctland#come to mind especially#and a lot of media analysis these days comes in form of video essays#same with sociology#jessie gender#sarah z#alexander avila#cj the x#and so many more#obviously academic video essays would have a bunch of extra requirements and citation guidelines#and you probably cant put in that many jokes#but maybe itll also help make academia more accessible??#oh hey and maybe the whole plagiarism thing wouldnt go as unchecked#honestly the day 'cj the x' becomes an academic source i am rejoining the science#that guy just makes my brain vibrate on the exactly right frequency

Imagine topping Leo in a chair?
LITERALLY love you for this. riding Leo in a chair is in like your top 5 favorite ways to ride Leo. your faces are so close together and he can feel every intimate rockwing bouncing squeeze of your tight juicy little hole gripping his throbbing cock like a vise. his eyes are so wide and his grip on your soft hips is nearly enough to leave pretty little fingertip bruises polkadotting your thighs (which he's obsessed with) and your hips (which he's also obsessed with) and your ass (are you sensing a pattern here????) and god everything you do drives him crazy but CHRIST the way you hold his face so sweetly in your pretty hands, so innocent and tender while simultaneously milking his cock for all he's got. and he'll give it to you. Leo will let you ride him in that chair that he can't look at after that without going half mast. he'll let you ride him until he's shooting blanks, until both of your cum drips on the floor, mixing in messy creamy beautiful puddles. Leo will throw his head back in pleasure, panting, chest heaving and giving you the best view of his perfect neck that's just begging to be covered in hickeys and bites. Leo will let you ride him in a chair until he passes out. can't walk. pounding down gatorade and liquid iv to try and rehydrate. and he'll thank you for it.
#drabbles#leo valdez#leo valdez smut#leo valdez x reader#leo valdez drabbles#heroes of olympus#heroes of olympus x reader#heroes of olympus drabbles#heroes of olympus smut#op's birthday#op's bday smutathon#off to a poppin start am I right ladies#also funny story#my dad (a certified piece of shit) used to buy us the worst groceries#long story but every week there was a recipe I had to make that required like 3 limes or lemons depending on what citrus we had#and he would buy produce that was simultaneously organic and locally sourced AND horribly low quality#the lemons and limes would be rock fucking hard and I had to juice those motherfuckers#so every week I had to go down to the workbench thing in the basement and use a literal bench vise to squeeze them until they were soft#i'm not even exaggerating right now I wish I was#I had to use industrial tools and equipment to work with that shit#like bro why was I 12 using a vise on lemons??????? AND HE KNEW#HE SAW AND LAUGHED AND I EXPLAINED AND HE LAUGHED AND DID NOT FUCKING CARE#before you ask yes I'm trying to get a sooner therapy appointment#so yeah#going through it!

Wow how random that I happened to end up drawing Garak and Bashir at the same time. What a coincidence!
#also wow garak was a tough one#his face is super distinct and finnicky and the cardassian features are quite detailed and required simplification#and he's also a constant source of all those incredibly layered and intense expressions#no wonder I find him such a delight to watch on screen#bashir was naturally far more straightforward#ds9#star trek ds9#deep space nine#ds9 fanart#elim garak#garak#ds9 garak#julian bashir#dr bashir#ds9 bashir#deeeeefinitely not#garak x bashir#404 ds9posting#404 art

Headcanon: The reason Connor is so awkward and socially inept is because being that 😀Friendly Coworker😀 is uncomfortable and unnatural for him. His true personality is actually comparatively unpalatable.
#source: his complete tone shift upon leaving the DPD- aka the people he was required to try to get along with#connor rk800#thiriumhowls#connor detroit#detroit connor#detroit: become human#dbh#rk800#dbh rk800#rk800 dbh#detroit become human#connor detroit become human#dbh connor#connor dbh#detroit rk800#rk800 detroit#d:bh connor#connor d:bh#d:bh#detroit become human rk800#to be concise i believe 'going to miss our bromance' is far more true to connor's real personality than 'i like dogs'#sharp sarcasm seems to be a staple when he's not trying to Make Someone Like Him

I have exactly one assignment left this semester (a short, 5-page essay, on a topic that I chose) and I simply cannot muster the motivation to do it
#part of the problem is the source i chose doesn't offer me the strongest thesis :(#it seemed more promising at first but some of the parts i need unfortunately haven't been translated from hebrew#and i'm sure i'll think of something#but that would require me to have literally any motivation#waughh. dying here

Okay here's the thing though. Actual play is not like other narrative forms, because the amount of chance involved in the game play means that the ending, in most scenarios, is not already written, and even when it is, as in EXU: Calamity, how you get there is not yet set in stone.
But notably, what is set in stone, the past, only goes back so far. In theory, character backstory is pre-written, but anyone who has played TTRPGs with an emphasis on story and character will recognize that backstory is a lot more fluid than we might imagine, and certainly more fluid than the history of a real person. As you really begin to play the character, you find the ways the backstory doesn't quite mesh, what needs to be cut or fleshed out, and you can make those edits over time so long as they haven't yet been brought out explicitly in game.
But the farther along you get, the more you have to make explicit, and the less leeway you have (at least without significant, usually clunky, retconning) to change that past to suit the future that you're developing.
At the same time, though, the backstory that does get set into stone over the course of the game is still in many ways virtual, in that it is often, if not exclusively, filtered through the point of view of the character's memory. Even in the flashback sequences of this chapter of Candela Obscura, the emphasis tends to be on how the characters remember it, and what they choose to remember—Sean doesn't know, will never truly know, if the children he killed were monsters or not; Nathaniel doesn't focus in his memory on the fact that he tried to save his brother, he only remembers having failed.
In this sense, there is generally an element of unreliability to backstory. Because it exists in memory (even for the players, who usually have not played out every one of those moments as if they were living it, only having remembered it), it is subject to the fallibility that memory always involves.
This kind of restricted timescale, the entire world contained concretely only within the context of game play, is a mechanical reality and limitation of TTRPGs in general, and much like the laws of physics, it's not really malleable. One could play out certain pieces of backstory, but cannot ever live the entirety of a character's experience, and even then, the larger context of that experience will always exist outside of the world until it is made concrete in the course of the game.
This is the brilliance of Marion's breaking of time. The manipulation takes advantage of the fact that this memory is only a memory, because even as played out between him and Jean in "Flesh and Blood," it is still filtered through how the Marion of the game remembers it, and not a concrete experience.
That ability of the Medium, to manipulate reality and change oneself in the process, as though it had always been this way, is a mechanical acknowledgement of the already slippery flow of time in game play. It is a beautiful mechanical form of retcon that doesn't feel like a cheat or a copout, and it's simultaneously a very clever way of managing the tension between these limitations of form and the common fantasy archetype of diviners and seers.
Using it to then literally rewrite the past, because the details of the past are still fluid until they are explicitly written, is nothing short of poetic.
#critical role#cr meta#candela obscura#co spoilers#marion collodi#I almost got really into the weeds and compared this against vespin chloras's Atonement and the oracles in avalir#(which I think I've written on before anyway. or at least I have thought about it extensively.)#but that would've required dragging out some Sources lmfao#can you tell I think too much about time especially as it relates to story

#ok but fr marking undergrad essays is such a rollercoaster#i gave two very high marks today and was genuinely impressed and then the next three i marked were practically incoherent#one just copy and pasted their intro instead of writing a conclusion. like it's verbatim the same paragraph#i dont mark down for minor grammar and syntax errors because there's a high rate of ESL students...#... but some of the papers from native english speakers have me more concerned about functional illiteracy than I've ever been#these are 19-20yos in a humanities field at a top university! even the highest scoring essay had basic basic grammar errors and vocab misuse#at least i could tell what the student was trying to say there but some of the others...#if your punctuation and spelling and syntax are all so bad that i literally cant tell what you're trying to say there is a serious problem#even setting aside how many errors like these there were there's the flip side of the issue: actually writing an essay#the last one i marked yesterday had no structure or thesis or secondary sources#everything between the intro and conclusion was the same claim phrased in different ways with some irrelevant non sequitur quotes thrown in#no analysis other than the words 'analysis of this shows' which is *gasp* not a substitute for analysis#OH AND OMG#one made a direct claim about a figure's political stance and attached a footnote. i went to see what the student's source was.#the footnote literally said something like 'i know i should have a source here but it's only context and i don't want to waste my word count#like what???? do you think claims about relevant context don't need evidence??? and the audacity to not give a citation...#... and claim it's because it would take too many words away from your main argument??#just providing the actual citation for the claim would have been 3-5 words max but the footnote about not having room was 30 words#kid do you think i can't tell that you dont have that citation? do you think anyone's buying that you didn't include it to save space?#it's the very first footnote and most of the others are full-length bibliography entries jammed into the footnotes (which we don't require)#so either you were 'worried about space' at the first footnote then changed your mind as you wasted 250 words on unnecessary formatting#or you were over the word limit and were like 'gotta cut something!' and the only footnote you 'simplified for space' was a short basic one#^assuming i believed you. which i dont. because why would you think that would fool anyone.#i still have half the essays left. im tired and so disappointed in how little we're told we should expect from them

Introjects do not have to detach from their source. I’m a fictive and I’m very connected to my source
.
#detaching from one's source is not a requirement#it should only be done if that fictive wants to detach#forcing source separation is harmful#just don't do that shit#like forcing fictives with names from a different culture to find a new name is trash#that should be their choice#let fictives exist in peace the policing they go through (in anti-endo communities) is awful#pluralgang#endo friendly#plural community#plurality#pluralpunk#pro endo#mixed origin system#traumaendo#endogenic safe

Hello! I was curious... Do the coins in TNP have designs, or are they completely smooth? :0
they do! the gold Adranian coins (which is what Clementine has) have the symbol of the king/king's house which is the swooping hawk that we'll see Duncan wearing later. that's basically the royal sigil of Adrania, and we'll see wardens, soldiers, and other high-ranking politicians or wealthy Adranian families wearing it throughout the game.
silver coins have a merchant ship on them, and bronze coins have the moon on one side, and the sun on the other side (to represent the Wolfmother's children, but to avoid directly printing the image of a god on money). Gael is different in that their gold coin actually has a whale on it, since whaling and fishing is their main source of income (versus Adrania, which in the south has decent farming and functions as a massive trade hub between/with Gael and Yulan). their silver coins have a wolf on one side, sun and moon on the other (same reason as Adranian's have it on their bronze) and then Gaelish bronze coins just have a silhouette of the southern mountain range and sea stacks.
Gael also has whale bone coins and Yulan has shell coins, but those don't get traded with Adrania. only the metal coins, and that's just because gold is gold; it doesn't change much of the value, it's only aesthetics, and the flow of coins between Gael, Adrania, and Yulan (Adrania's main international trade partner) is vital for all three countries.
#so long as its gold silver and bronze they'll accept it#regardless of what country it's from#though i do imagine Adrania specifically trying to raise the value of their coins#requiring higher taxes on imports from Gael#less so with Yulan though since they have a healthy economic relationship and Yulan poses no real threat to Adrania#interesting stuff to think about!#i did actually try to design the gold coin once a very long time ago#around the time i wrote Lea's route in the original ch1#because i also tried to design the bread stamps that are mentioned there that signify the bread's source & legitimacy#(it did not work out because i cannot draw that kind of thing lmao)#also. i do very light worldbuilding when it comes to the economy and how that all functions so<3 i like the world to feel real#but i also can admit i do Nawt have extensive knowledge on economics. or coin minting. or anything really#it's just not the focus of the game beyond what i need to know to make the politics and hierarchy believable#ask#anonymous#lore

I think Mihawk would be a psychologist wet dream
Like what the fuck is exactly wrong with him? Who fucking knows not them.
Like he is literally just this scene from b99
youtube
Rosa and Amy are obviously represented by Benn and Shanks respectively and this is a red haired party with another crew. Benn was assigned to making sure an overstimulated mihawk doesn’t kill anyone duty while Shanks plays the ever gracious host. Who knows why the psychologists are there I don’t
#there’s a longer post I want to make about how I don’t think Mihawk has a fully developed super ego#but that would require more research and who want to do that 😒#maybe one day#like he’s not a sociopath like Doffy or even a psychopath like I’d wager figarland is#he just either diesnt feel or experiences at a very subdued level a lot Of the more complex emotions associated with the superego#on which most people would build a sense of morality on ie like guilt or empathy#or even just the ability to see yourself as someone existing within a society and letting yourself be influenced by it#he’s such a strange dude I love him but I also don’t want to spread misinformation so the thesis shall have to wait#one piece#throwing thoughts to the void#dracule mihawk#hawkeye mihawk#incorrect one piece#incorrect one piece quotes#incorrect quotes#b99#source: b99#red haired pirates#red haired shanks#mishanks#shanks#akataka#one piece funny#one piece shitpost#one piece meme#Youtube
