Somehow my jazzprowl tfone fic has become instead a scathing critique of capitalism how did we get here
#tfone#transformers#so#sleep deprived me had the thought that shanix is actually specifically a currency only the miners use#the rest of iacon has like a barter system with energon as the base resource#this is because the energon is deliberatly restricted for the miners so the coged get more#but it also serves a dual purpose of both pacifying the miners (that false idea of hard work=more priviledge)#and economically isolating them so they have no way of making it in broader society#then the whole thing comes crumbling down at the end of the movie and now suddenly all that hard work for their shanix was for nothing#because useless hunks of metal only have value so long as society agrees it has value#this was supposed to be about#jazzprowl#what the hell

To all the posts on tiktok and insta going on about how their clothing is to specific moments in their lives together (on camera)... can I tell them that people don't have an infinite wardrobe without them breaking down? Like calm the fuck down. How many times do we wear the same shirt cause it's comfortable or it just looks good?
This reminds me of how dating rumours in the kpop industry begin. Matching jewelry. Matching clothes. When all I see is... oh yeah, looks aight.
Below is a brain vomit on softpower? I think.
I just had a thought about how soft power countries like Korea and Japan have given Thailand a module to succeed using tourism and entertainment to boost their economy through producing artists. At this point, as much reign on the artist's private is on par to that of the Korean entertainment industry. Unlike Japan who have their artists more or less discreet. However using Japan and Korea as stepping stones, Thailand realized that they can take it a step further by legalizing gay marriage and protecting gay right to draw more foreigners in to boost commerce and bring in foreign trade with international advancements for their own profit if they see Thailand as this progressive country...
AAAAAHHHHHH MY HEAD IS GOING DOWN A RABBIT HOLE!
Oh fuck..
Anyway does anyone know where I can get a copy of love upon a time by littlebear96. I want to buy the book directly. I don't if it's still in Thai.
#this was supposed to be about#netjames#but instead turned into an analysis barely scratching the surface#of#soft power#of countries like#japan#south korea#thailand#kpop#industry#look at thailand producing their own music groups now#they have always had talented artists so why now#why now#thai bl#rant#wrote this instead of sleeping#cheers to chaos#head hurt#OI MALAYSIA KEEP THE FUCK UP#THEY ARE ABOUT TO SURPASS MALAYSIA#ahahahhahahahah#hopefully ill be out of here by then#if you see this#malaysia#it means maybe you should realize the strength of soft power and keeping up with the times#like im just waiting out for these dinosaurs to die cause even my generation is sick of you all#now can anyone let me know where i can find “love upon a time” by littlebear96 please#i want to support the author directly by buying a physical copy#and use it as a hint to come out to my mother

well it finally happened
so my dad is almost 80, this man's been making Spirk content since Star Trek started airing basically
he never knew ao3 existed, he just thought people stopped writing fanfic when ff.net died, like it was a fad that had outgrown him or smth
he clicked an ao3 link in my pinned last night, realizing that they were in fact clickable
he's mad at me for not telling him earlier. "I don't have a lot of years left in me and there's so much to read"
he's gonna spend his whole retirement reading trek fanfic now jesus christ
#never let anyone tell you you're too old for fandom when my dad's in the trenches rn#turning off reblogs cuz this was never supposed to escape containment#our relationship isnt great so getting asks about it is awkward

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024
#ramble#if you say unalive in front of me i will personally kill you with my hands#you just can't muffle and censor and hold someone's hand through some things#some things are horrible. and they should be spoken aloud and they should upset you. because they are horrible#the second we started kidzbopifying the world was the end of taking anything seriously i think#i'm not even joking i've spoken to people older than me who won't even say the world sex#this isn't the playground you're not going to get in trouble just let us say the word!!!!!!#how am i supposed to listen to you when you won't even say the thing you're supposed to be talking about#yes this is the fault of the platforms with their censorship rules but the fact that we all just go along with it like it's not dystopian#you do know it doesn't stop with cursing right. people are already having to censor queer terms because they get flagged as inappropriate

we need to step away from viewing marriage as inherently romantic, or the primary goal of romance. marriage is a legal contract we use to create important ties--financial, medical, next-of-kin, mediating shared property and parental rights. the details vary a lot based on where you are and what paperwork you sign. which is not very romantic! but it does have many real-world effects on our ability to share our lives with our partners.
first and foremost, marriage is a legal right we use to build and protect our families, whatever that family may look like
#it's an important option for life partners to have! but we need to treat it more like a legal tool#and less like 'This Is What An Ideal Marriage Looks Like'#a marriage is a relationship and relationships vary a LOT#there's no one-size-fits-all#but BEING married is a legally defined thing. with (boring but important) legal benefits and consequences.#and the way we talk about it should reflect that#we need to stop treating it as 'marriage is the romantic ideal and also a milestone that people are just Supposed To Do'

#myart#ocd#actually ocd#moral ocd#scrupulosity ocd#religious ocd#mental health#you can tell i got lazy towards the end i apologize lol#but yeah this has been on my mind ...#and the fact its so underrepresented / falsely represented is what pushed me to talk about it i suppose

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in
#viktor#arcane#ig my assumption would be that he wears both simultaneously cause in the scene where he injects the shimmer#it seems implied that he just threw off his clothes and kept experimenting#so one might assume he was already wearing the smaller one underneath#tho it is a funny image to think of him just being like 'one sec i gotta go all the way home and grab my other brace to do this'#he can take off the back brace too cause hes not wearing it in the scene where he's in the hospital bed and you can see his shoulder#where the strap would be#but that one seems to make even less sense functionality wise#everything looks like its screwed together#or screwed INTO him#but only the top bolts on his spine are i think#in the close ups of his back brace model it looks like theres cushioning underneath the parts of it that cover the rest of his spine#so he can take it off. but HOW#what parts of it unscrew/detatch to pull open and off#does it not do that at all and he just has to shimmy it off his shoulder and all the way down his legs to get it off like a romper#the shape language of the designs are cool but like. tell me how it wooorrkkksss#forgive me if im just dumb and dont know at all how braces work and theres a very simple practical explanation for all this#any king who wants to infodump about mobility aids at me....the floor is yours#something to be said i suppose about the fact that zaunites have crazy prosthetics with wild augmentations that work flawlessly#and piltover's like. idk heres some fucking uncomfortable ass metal. salo gets wheelchair in non ada compliant place#they havent ever needed to adapt to accommodate disabilities etc etc#or maybe artists were just like 'heres a design' and everybody clapped and didnt give it a second thought#and then they just turned off the visibility on the mesh when they didnt need it knowing thered not be a scene where its taken off#dont even wanna THINK about what that rig would look like#like 40 different controllers#soft body and rigid hard surfaces needing to move together....#a cold chill just shot up my spine#<- guy who is only an animator and doesnt know how to rig#forgive the magic wand tool with zero cleanup. i am lazy
