COMIC IDEA i have had in my head for one million years....morph catches on to sol's feelings for sammy pretty quickly. because you know. of course she does.

howeverrr, she does NOT know sol is also jane, so. it's a pretty superficial crush in her eyes. a lot of heroes have a civilian or two they enjoy saving a liiiittle bit more than others, right? which makes it excellent cannon fodder for her to mess around with sol with. the BEEFERS!! woulddd morph back off if she knew the extent of sol's relationship with sammy...? HMMM who knows.... 🤭 though, well. it'd probably help if sol stopped being so deep in denial herself. maybe morph is justified to terrorize her about it to some extent. sigh, these two...

Israel TARGETS & SLAUGHTERS Palestinian Journalists for showing us the TRUTH

The Committe to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has said that a record number of journalists were killed globally in 2024, with Israel responsible for nearly 70 percent of the deaths.

In a statement, the CPJ said that at least 124 journalists were killed in 18 countries in 2024, amounting to the deadliest year for reporters and media workers since the committee started recording the numbers more than three decades ago.

The CPJ said that 85 journalists were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza and accused Israel of attempting to stifle investigations of incidents, shift blame onto journalists and ignore its duty to hold people to account for the killings.

When approached for comment, the Israeli army said not enough information was provided on the alleged incidents and that it was therefore not able to check them, adding that it takes all operationally feasible measures to mitigate harm to journalists and civilians.

"The IDF has never, and will never, deliberately target journalists," it added.

Sorry for being so inactive lately... been busy irl, and have been meaning to post here more often, but also, like... I always feel a bit shy approaching the 'kin communities on here because it kind of feels like everyone is sort of... "internet poisoned"? For lack of a possibly-better word. A lot of folks here on tumblr in the 'kin and alterhuman communities are children, and a lot of more prominent community figures treated like "elders" are only about my age or younger, and it feels really strange, to be honest. There's a lot of discussion of feelings and terminology, but very little "lifestyle"? It's like there's a universal expectation for everyone to just figure everything out on their own; you get some definitions here and there yeah, but the amount of variance says much more loudly "just figure out what it all means on your own, pal". ex. Not only can no one actually explain what "otherhearted" actually means sans relation to otherkin, but it feels like I never see anyone talk about dealing with what one could call "kin feels" in the workplace, when unable to acquire your habitat, etc... Othercon is online-only, and while I'm pretty sure I'd be unable to attend an in-person event, part of me has a hard time feeling like everyone is really taking it all seriously and is really unafraid of being "cringe" when obviously it's so much easier to act like you're so confident online. I kinda feel like meeting some wolfkin stereotypes in a park for snacks and doing a group howl would do more for me than years of reading essays on tumblr ever has.

I dunno, I tried watching a recording of an Othercon panel I felt would be relevant and useful to me once, and was floored at just how... utterly useless it was. Despite its promising title, it was just shallow "you're valid" garbage and internet discourse... Makes me feel severely alienated, to be honest.

Kai's Hobonichi Adventures (July-August 2024)

[charles-leclerc-official]

Some italians journalist have really no shame. One of them just said "lewis crashing really show how the sf23 was a difficult car to drive"

And mind you it is the same journalist who after miami23, commented about charles mentality, how he can't drive, how he doesn't have a father to support him but his teammate do.

And when someone questioned him about his double standard he said " I never said something about leclerc" when everyone have the article and his tweets as proofs.

What I am saying is not against lewis to be clear but mostly about how some journalist, can't admit they don't like charles and decide to make narrative on him and write awfull article about him.

The fact it's only because lewis crashed with the sf23 in testing ( hope he damaged it so much they decide to never use it anymore) they decide to talk about how it was a bad car but when it was charles who crashed one time during the season it's : he can't drive, he don't have the mentally etc..,

And coming from the same journalist who wrote awfull things about charles during that season is even worse.

And in the same context, skysport who make a "breaking news" about lewis crash and make their video available to everyone is a fucking joke. We are talking about the SF23!! Why is everyone making it a big thing, the most important is that lewis is alright.

Yeah, I think we need to brace ourselves for the media cycle around Ferrari this year. I think we will likely see this kind of thing more with more eyes on the team. Every error from Lewis will be magnified tenfold for "drama" and they'll say he made a mistake coming to Ferrari and he's "past his prime" etc etc. And any mistake Charles makes will be compared to Lewis and used as evidence he isn't WDC material. They are gonna ping pong between those two narratives depending on how each driver is doing on any given week.

It's going to be a long year on the news cycle front.

And yes, it's the SF-23 a car that does not perform well at Barcelona and has a whole host of other issues. I wouldn't read too much into any performances with that car. Lewis is currently getting comfortable with how a Ferrari handles and is testing the limits, I don't think a crash is a big deal so long as he is uninjured.

This is just more of them flip flopping and refusing to admit they were wrong. We were screaming about the problems with the SF-23 but very few actually listened. But the more we learn about testing with that car, Charles opinions behind the scenes the more it all gets confirmed. That car is fast, but it's finicky as hell and has such a narrow operating window on top of the suspension issues. It was just so unstable and unreliable over more than a single lap.

Ignore sources that are opinion nonsense pieces and stick to the places reporting on facts. F1 journalists want us to care about their opinions, but they really aren't any better than most big stan F1twt accounts with the types of things they say.

Just keep in mind my points above. I think the media narratives about Charles and Lewis are going to be very predictable and I will be ignoring them in the interest of looking at the actual results and their comparative performance, and of course how the car is doing in general.

[November/1 of 2] Let's go on a journey!

Let's talk about ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Department.

(How to hook your audience right the hell out of the gate: with an incredible banger of an OP) ---- ACCA 13 (I'm just going to call it that from now on) is a manga written by the unbeatable Natsume Ono, the same trailblazer behind the heart-wrenching Not Simple, the charming Ristorante Paradiso and many others, and personally one of my favorite anime of all time. ---- No, this is not hyperbole: I mean it 100%

(I'm aware my taste is a little bit on the "oldie" side of things, but again, just presenting evidence; you can make your own topster here) ---- Natsume Ono is a master of her craft and will often get you invested in narratives that you might have otherwise given a pass to (an all-too-common problem with anime and manga, unfortunately) and nowhere is this more evident than in ACCA 13, which concerns itself with the story of one Jean Otus.

(Smoking is a filthy habit, but damn if our pretty man du jour doesn't make it look cool as hell) ---- Jean is a 28-29 year old man who works as the second-in-command of the auditing branch for the ACCA organization. ACCA is the Dowa Kingdom's civilian organization in charge of its Thirteen Territories' governance, and our man here is often the one in charge of making sure that no one is cooking any books, fleecing its subjects, etc. Basically he watches the watchmen. ---- Jean is easily recognizable for his blond hair, piercing blue eyes, perpetually even-tempered disposition, being a smart cookie, and his chain-smoking. He's also extremely good at ruffling the feathers of many a person without meaning to. ---- Following him in the weird life he lives is his little sister Lotta...

(Yes, she is voiced by the always delightful Aoi Yuuki (JP) and Alexis Tipton (EN), what gave it away?) ---- Ray of sunshine, high-schooler, building manager and baked goods enthusiast. Jean being who he is worries her but she also knows that her brother is far more perceptive than he's given credit for. ---- To finish with the "main trio". we have Nino...

(Hotter men have likely existed in anime, sure; few, if any, have ever carried themselves with the sheer natural swagger this man does) ---- Nino has been a family friend of the Otuses for a while, and often makes it a point to check in on the siblings and see what's up, especially since the siblings are otherwise all the family they have. He fancies himself a freelance reporter/photographer... or does he? ---- And that's one of the charms/strongest points about ACCA 13: Some things/people are not always what they seem, and it's always good to keep your eyes and ears peeled to find your way around life, a philosophy often espoused by the other "secret" main character in this shindig, ACCA Director-General Mauve...

(Speaking of sheer charisma, swagger and handsomeness/beauty) ---- Voiced by the late Atsuko Tanaka in Japanese and Rachel Robinson in English, Mauve is a character who recognizes that not all that seems well is actually well, but she also strives in making sure things end up going well, which is how she gets the ball rolling in our story. ---- Natsume Ono, like many other idiosyncratic writers, likes to stick to certain themes and narrative devices, and ACCA 13 is no different in this regard. What is also true is that you'll always get something really special with her, since she often likes to address different topics and circumstances of people. And while many characters come and go in this series, they're all pretty memorable...

This is a series that, in my opinion, you cannot go wrong with either the original Japanese, the localization of the dub or even the original manga. 12 episodes/6 volumes that are a sheer joy from beginning to end and a cast that delivers in spades. Fantastic music, storyboards, cinematography and outstanding performances regardless of which language preference you may have. ---- Shingo Natsume & Tomohiro Suzuki (the director and head of the writers' room for this) were coming out of a hot streak that came from working on Space Dandy and the first season of One Punch Man and you can tell that they're firing on all cylinders with this incredible adaptation. ---- Again, there's a reason I really like this show and put it on my "all time faves" list, even if I admit that I have cooled off considerably wrt Re:Zero and Free!, so maybe I need to update that list, but I pretty much stand for everything else, including this absolute jewel. Anyway, enjoy yourselves and I'll read you on the next one!

@one-time-i-dreamt I'm stealing your gimmick and you can't stop me.

"It's three a.m. and I woke up severly dehydrated" but it's me begging fem Baji to let me eat her out in the middle of the night

[beastsovrevelation]

You know how sometimes, you decide one thing, only for the characters to show you the middle finger, and do whatever they want?..

Happened to me. Again. Max (my Antichrist OC) and Crowley decided they want a story where they're together. Which is fine, I actually like the pairing. It seemed strange at first, since in most of my ideas, Crowley's Max's mother, stepmother or uncle, then I realized it's a stupid thing to let stop me, I mean... Max's mother in this would be Michael. Enough said.

Speaking of Ms. Sword of God, she's not happy. Not because Crowley's a demon, she's married to Satan himself (her own twin brother), she doesn't like that Crowley's a "traitor", and has no rank. Luckily, Max puts momma in her place, and Lucifer is supportive of the relationship. Michael will relent eventually, too.

All in all, I guess I'm adding another WIP to my ever-growing hoard. Though, for now, a coherent plot is yet to dawn on me. I mostly imagine random scenes. Some of them are rather funny, like when Nina tells Crowley that yes, his relationship with the woman he loves might indeed be decided by the impression he makes on a bird. Since, Max has a hunting falcon, and Crowley, being a snake, does not feel easy around raptors.

[megarywrites]

finally finished the chapter I've been stuck on I'm so pleased!!! current word count for the 2nd draft is just over 81k, which is crazy, but I know it'll get cut down in the next draft.

this chapter also hits the 25% mark of the entire story (both books), so I really feel like I made some progress tonight

[drizzledrawings]

john is arthurs annoying little brother >>> boys been annoying him since he was 12 yrs old and arthur had no issue having beef with a kid when he was 20

Hosea: Arthur Jesus Christ calm down!!

Arthur: *pushing johns head into the dirt* no I don’t think I will

[tpup]

she told me i remind her of her ex, and that makes her feel protective of me. she tilted her head like a curious dog when she said that.

i wasn't sure how to word a prying question about it. i said I feel guilty when people do things for me because i don't have something to give in return. she said that was a strange way for me to have responded.

[beta-adjacent]

Being territorial of where I sit is so mind boggling to me that I’ve now just associated it as a miscecanis thing. Like it's so intense that I start becoming territorial for other people.

Perfect example of this happened today:

My friend wanted to join me for a lecture I go to weekly, and I was like "Yes, Absolutely you can! but you Have to sit Specifically One seat to the Right of me" and he goes "literally why." and I go "because there's someone who Always sits One seat to my Left and someone who Commonly sits Two seats to my Right, and based on past experiences, you'll want to sit closest to me, and the Only free seat is the First One To My Right.”

So then he asked if I was stressed about him being there. Which to be fair I was, and I told him as much, but my phrasing was really bad. The way I summarized it to him was that generally imagining him in that setting was stressful, which in hindsight is a really bad way to synthesize my thoughts.

My real concerns were much more complex, the most notable being that he usually sits to my Direct Left in Any given opportunity, but Especially in a new environment. This appears to be something subconscious for him. There's no seating chart in this classroom, so he could very well just take the direct seat to my left, or I could move from my initial position.

However.

Number 1: that is My Seat and giving anyone the Opportunity to sit there gives me hives. I wouldn’t say anything, because I am civilized, but I’d certainly be wrought with anxiety.

Number 2: I am actually acquainted with these 1st Left & 2nd Right Seaters! In fact, the 1st Left Seater & I have known each other for a while now, and even Agreed to sit at These Specific Seats together in the First week of the semester. Meaning I now had two routines where I sit to the right of someone, suddenly colliding. I didn't want to choose between my not-lecture friend and my lecture-specific acquaintance; they both are of value to my life, and I didn't want to stir the pot by changing our sitting routines, or worse, by having them meet and interact with each other (I’m quite particular about the ways my social circles are sorted/navigated, and this would be like, a bad crossover episode).

Now, as mentioned prior, I only told my friend that his presence would catalyze a lot of stress -- mostly because, based on my last explanation, he was starting to look a tad stressed himself. The conversation had apparently ended then, and a few minutes later he slipped away, not joining me for lecture after all.

So this whole post is just me trying to gather my words/thoughts so I can properly apologize for calling his general prescence stressful (though I wonder if he's already dismissed the reaction in his mind...)

Point is that I don't think a lot of people know it, or will ever really get to know it, but I care a lot about people, just in weird, overly complex ways. And I think if they learned, they might appreciate it, and we could use it to our shared advantage, but they also might get overwhelmed by my idiosyncrasies, haha. And that all of this is just so much easier to understand if “little wolf in head angy when people sit wrong”

[cryptidofthekeys]
