Semi creepy looking Tem’s cuz I think that’s kinda cool

[yanderes-galore]

Hey! Could you do a overprotective Riz from beastars with a gn! raccoon

WE'RE BACK TO MURDER BEARS, BAYBEE!!!

Yandere/Overprotective! Riz with Raccoon! Darling

Pairing: Platonic/Romantic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Manipulation, Overprotective behavior/Possessive behavior, Violence, Blood, Prejudice, Clingy behavior, Threats, Consumption of others (It's not... Cannibalism in this universe I guess?), Harassment/Bullying, Delusional behavior, Forced companionship/relationship.

I guess in a way you'd be considered a carnivore, right?

Raccoons are omnivores but you aren't, well, defenseless?

Although another thing to note is bears are omnivores.

So you and Riz are quite similar and would both be considered 'carnivores' according to the laws of Beastars I think.

Despite this, there's several issues with being friends with Riz.

One, you're much smaller.

Which could make Riz a threat over time.

Another thing, Riz is shown to have a twisted sense of friendship since the death of Tem.

Which can be problematic as your friendship goes on.

Riz has some... red flags.

Yet most don't see them.

Many see Riz as kindhearted.

He's loved and respected by his peers, even as a carnivorous bear.

How I imagine him befriending a raccoon is this....

Raccoons have a reputation.

I like to think that maybe many see them as thieves and delinquents.

Many species and groups in Beastars come with their own prejudice and rumors.

You, as a raccoon, are often not trusted due to what you are.

But Riz ends up trusting you.

Many people trust Riz while not many trust you by default.

It often leads to harassment or bullying.

I imagine you befriend Riz because he stepped in for you.

Due to being small, you're often picked on by larger animals.

Except one day...

A large bear happens to step in.

Riz is accepting of you, even his species has prejudice.

Honestly, he views you as harmless!

Which often makes him feel the need to protect you.

While many trust Riz and distrust you... It should really be the opposite.

Riz has proven that he's a threat even if he can hide it.

You haven't stolen from anyone in your life.

The obsession and friendship definitely starts with Riz stepping in to help you.

The bear is awfully kind to you, minding your smaller stature and listening to you.

Not many people pick on you after that due to the fact you have a brown bear backing you.

You're thankful for Riz's help, seeing nothing wrong with befriending him.

If only you knew...

Riz would barely leave your side.

He's seen what happens if he does, others pick on you.

No one picks on his friends.

To most his threats or protective behavior seems lighthearted.

But those who know what Riz is capable of?

There's a whole new underlying threat to your friendship.

Yet you're too oblivious to notice.

Imagine Riz growling at others who get too close to you?

His size dwarfs you.

You're so tiny and are practically cloaked in his shadow.

Many are wary of the raccoon and their big bear friend.

Riz acts like such a teddy bear with you.

He tries not to be intimidating to you, often keeping you near him whenever you two meet.

But to others that aren't you?

Riz seems possessive and overprotective.

Riz doesn't show his more animalistic side often.

Not with you, anyways.

Yet I think Riz would hunt down those who picked on you and started rumors.

Would he kill them? He doesn't have to.

But Riz can be very threatening.

While he tries not to be, he's large and terrifying when you stress him.

So, all of a sudden, no one's picking on you anymore!

That and Riz is very affectionate, offering to cook for you and often hovering around you.

You two are close companions.

In fact, I can see Riz carrying his raccoon obsession at times.

He's oddly playful, excusing it as him protecting you.

It's like he's displaying to others that if they mess with you... they mess with him.

You essentially have a clingy and overly obsessive bodyguard.

He doesn't have many positive experiences with... friendship.

So the lines between friendship, partner, and even meals are blurred for him...

Which puts you in danger if you make a wrong move.

You're so blind to the danger you're in.

Others see the blood around his maw and claws...

You don't.

Others suspect something... Odd with the food he gives you...

You don't.

Others notice people avoid you and Riz... or just disappear altogether...

You either don't or don't care.

You trust Riz, he protected you when no one else would!

For the most part, Riz is just a teddy bear who adores his raccoon friend.

Yet what happens if he loses his raccoon?

What if you both fight?

What if you realize what he really is?

Well... Hopefully things won't come to that, right?

Hopefully you just listen to him and don't look any deeper...

Yet if you do...

Riz will make sure to be gentle with his beloved raccoon, he'll be your one and only forever, you'll be safe and sound, just don't struggle....

I'm rereading Nesta's intervention, and every time I always have this question: why should she go back to human lands? Why human lands? I understand that it would be banishment from Rhysand's lands, so she could go to any other lands, because she's not a prisoner. Nesta is more of a refugee than anything else. She lost everything in the war, after all.

I also know that it was an "option" given for manipulation, but were they really going to send her to human lands, so that she would then choose another territory?

SJM, please tell me what you intended to do if Nesta refused to be arrested, or have you never used the "what if?"? That's why Nesta fanfics are better 🫠. They have more plot and logic than this bomb.

my heart races and I get nervous every time I read this shit. Nesta I love you and I don't why.

🇧🇷 Estou relendo a intervenção de Nesta, e em todas as vezes sempre tenho a dúvida: por que ela deveria voltar para as terras humanas? Por que as terras humanas? Eu entendo que seria banimento das terras de Rhysand, então ela poderia ir para quaisquer outras, porque ela não é uma prisioneira. Nesta é mais refugiada que qualquer outra coisa. Ela perdeu tudo na guerra, afinal.

Eu também sei que foi uma "opção" dada para manipulação, mas eles realmente iriam mandá-la para terras humanas, para que então ela escolhesse outro território?

SJM, por favor me diga o que você pretendia fazer caso Nesta se recusasse a ser presa, ou você nunca utilizou o "e se?"? É por isso que as fanfics de Nesta são melhores 🫠. Elas tem mais enredo e lógica que essa bomba.

meu coração fica acelerado e eu fico nervosa sempre que leio essa merda. Nesta eu te amo e eu não porquê

[thewertsearch]

One can make either true statements or false statements about reality. All of the statements I make are true.

One can make true or false statements about reality, but those aren’t the only options. ‘This sentence is false’ and 'lies are not funny' are examples of statements which are neither.

You proceeded to question me believing you understood the purpose of the Scratch. You received your information about it from trolls. I assure you that in most ways, the trolls are as confused about everything as you are.

Confused she may have been, but Aradia got her Scratch lore from Sburb's own NPCs. Doc's plans run deep, but he can't have been manipulating every Consort on LOQAM.

Maybe the Sburb NPCs she was talking to are simply mistaken in their understanding of the Scratch. It might be a phenomenon which looks like a spacetime rift, but functions completely differently.

TT: What exactly does the Scratch do, then? It resets the game.

It resets the game.

...like, completely? Are we going to Groundhog Day right back to John's original entry, with all our memories intact? I have no idea what that'd mean for the trolls, interwoven as they are into the kids' session - but either way, the possibility of a full reset for John & co. is amazing news.

It would be fascinating to see the kids taking another shot at Sburb, armed with all their accumulated knowledge. They'd be starting from a much better position, and we could sidestep mistakes like Jack's ascension before they happen. We'd be seeing new prototypings, new alchemy, and potentially more God Tier ascensions. Terezi did say that Dave was only locked out of God Tier before the Scratch, and I think I'm beginning to understand what she means. A lot of possibilities we've long since given up on have just been placed back on the table.

The elephant in the room, of course, is the Alpha Timeline. Changing the past should doom us all, so what's our loophole? I guess we could just transport the Players to a freshly generated session, without any time travel - but I personally don't think that's what's happening here. The Scratch is Time-themed for a reason.

TT: We all start from the beginning again? When John entered? No.

...oh.

Welp, that's another theory that didn't survive the brooding caverns.

The release of temporal energy will be quite massive. This is a hard reset. It will reboot the conditions in your universe well before you began playing the game. You will have lived different lives after the reset. The different initial conditions will ideally lead to a more favourable scenario in the new session.

I guess Scratch has a point. The kids' prior lives were heavily influenced by events in their session. Hell, Jade killed her Grandpa with a gun that wouldn't even exist if John's Veil trip had gone differently. Even the Frog Tem-

...oh, no.

Even Bec could be Scratched.

Now. If I'm an omniscient, malevolent First Guardian, and I'm making some edits to a universe, what's the most effective change I could make? What's the best way to ensure that it serves my purposes?

Well, it would be pretty useful if I were in the universe, shaping it as I did Alternia - but my impending death might put a damper on that plan.

Alright, then. If I can't the the one to shape this universe, the next best thing would be an entity of comparable power - one who is as loyal to my master as I am.

And I know exactly how to make that happen.

Even Bec could be Scratched.

Literally.

Creepypasta Hedcanons ^^

Jane The Killer

~ Okay, we all know that Jane is a lesbian and that she is married so I will focus on these points. At the beginning of his relationship with his wife (Mary) she was closed to herself! Even though his wife, girlfriend at the time, told him to feel comfortable, she became more confident over time!

~ I see Jane as a very strong woman, she is one of the most badass creepypastas! In my opinion, she wouldn't be a feminist person... She just tends to care a lot about women since she has already suffered at the hands of Jeff.

Laughing Jack

~ This guy has serious problems with children, a lot of lack of trust! But he's very good at what he does, and he's very manipulative. He really doesn't like children as much as (Jill) does, but he may even give polite children a chance, well that would be very rare, since he hates them.

~ Let's say he realizes that a child attracts him because he is polite, outgoing, fun or something like that. He will probably be a little "disgusted" in the first few days, but he would be able to put up with it. That is until she starts to grow up and make him feel less loved. Note: He has clearly been abandoned, has trust issues, meaning he doesn't trust anyone. Another important thing! He really thinks Mat*r is some kind of joke. Nobody explained this matter to him

Hoodie/Brian

~ Let's talk about Hoodie now, well the things I know about this guy are really mixed after all there are several things within the fandoms (MH and Creepypasta) that is, I'm going to mix some things! Hoodie is very good with cameras, he knows where to put them, how to configure them, how to record something correctly, he would be a proxy "cameraman" but he doesn't just record of course!

~ Hoodie/Brian, they are quiet, I would say closed to themselves even though they have a very old friendship with Tim/Masky, I would say they are still reserved enough to be difficult to investigate! It is generally not reported or invoked much, but it can be very well located by recording something or someone.

Masky/Tim

~ Masky, like Hoodie, can very well use a camera, but these two are very different and I will say this, Masky/Tim are totally different people and I can explain that!

-Called Multiple Personality Disorder in the past, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a very complex mental disorder in which there is the presence of two or more identities or personality states that take control of the person's behavior.

-Masky is a more closed person, being more aggressive with people, serious and in some aspects a perfectionist with EVERYTHING he does

-Tim, on the other hand, is not as aggressive as Masky, but he can be serious and quiet, he still remains a perfectionist because that is a trait, everything he does has to be PERFECTIONAL otherwise he will collapse!<Tim/Masky tem vício em fumar e isso não é uma novidade>

Kate the Chaser

~ Kate is one of the least talked about creepypasta in my opinion, it's very rare to see someone talk about this proxy. Her first appearance if I'm not mistaken was in Slenderman The Arrival, where her best friend "Lauren" was looking for her. Kate must have been one of the first proxies (Along with Hoodie)

~ Kate is quite a runner, she usually stays in forests and her mask is more peculiar with a deformed mouth, her appearance that becomes visible is her medium black hair, Kate is one of the creepys that I think has a lot of potential even if she doesn't She is very well known, she is someone who is quieter, she doesn't have many friends, of those we know she was a faithful friend of, it was only her friend "Lauren" who she was friends with since she was little, Kate lived in a place further away from the city. She gradually grew older, to the point where her house, besides being dirty, was full of bizarre Operator/Slenderman drawings.

Homicidal Liu

~ After Jeff tried to kill Liu, but he survived, he ended up in a hospital. Falling in love with the nurse, ending up with her, unfortunately she dies in a "robbery". Liu will eventually no longer believe in happiness, and kills everyone around him who is happy! (I'm terrible at making summaries)

~ Liu is a very intelligent, serious person, polite to anyone he wants and even though he hates Jeff, he never disregards him as a brother! He just wants to kill him just like Jane. Speaking of which, I feel like he would probably team up with Jane if necessary to kill his brother in one way or another.

~ There is a ship between him and Nurce Ann, I won't touch on the subject because I'm not a shipper. But this is due to the fact that Liu has already fallen in love with his first nurse, as far as I remember her name but that could possibly happen.

Hello everyone, how are you Mannuh speaking here! I want to say that I am an investigator and so rest assured that when it is Hedcanon I will keep you informed so as not to pass on false information, I was really thinking about posting investigations here.. Like, theories, my points of view, reports, see some cases I I really wanted to occupy my head but that's it! ^^ Have a good night/day all of you ⦻ ⦻ ☠⦻ ⦻

[as8bakwthesage]

I gave Tem Souldancer a proper reference for their civilian self and their Magical Boy/Enbie transformation!

So a couple of notes:

Tem Souldancer is 16 years old when they meet the Turtles. They use they/them pronouns. They are also a self-insert who I ship with Donnie.*

Tem is short for Artemisia, a name that they adopted after moving to NYC. Their "real" name is Crow, but they did keep their surname out of respect for their family's culture and history. So they went from Crow Souldancer to Artemisia Souldancer, but everyone calls them Tem for short.

Tem is Two-Spirit, and is on Testosterone. Their gender is "your worst nightmare." They are also ace-spec.

Tem was diagnosed with ASD as a child. Their special interests lie in the complexities of magic and systems of the mystic arts. They study magic almost like it's a science. And also crows. They have a huge thing for crows. Duh no shit

They are very silly

Tem's Backstory and Powers...

Tem's Backstory:

Headcanon time! The magic in ROTTMNT stems from two sources - from the Spirits of the Earth or from the Krang/Onni. The magic that comes from the Earth and its Spirits acts like veins, and ties all living creatures together. The veins are in all kinds of colours, depending on the life force of the person a single vein is connected to. For obvious reasons, Raph's is red, Leo's is blue, Donnie's is purple, Mikey's is orange, April's is yellow, etc. However, most people cannot see the Veins, including the Hamatos.

Tem, and by extension their family, can see these Veins, alongside some other stuff. This is because many centuries ago, a young woman was given these abilities by one of the more powerful Spirits in order to protect the Earth from the Demons who would try to destroy it (the Krang.) This woman adopted the title Souldancer because it felt like she was dancing among the souls of the living. This would become the surname for Tem's family.

Souldancer children are born with a small crystal on their body, varying in shape, colour, and location. These are called Soul Crystals, and they help the Souldancers use their powers. However, they only appear on firstborn children. Any other children born after do not get a crystal. The secondborn are taught how to do magic for reasons that will become apparent in the next paragraph.

The firstborn child would be trained in the mystic arts and in the ability to see and manipulate the Veins. The secondborn child would be responsible for producing the next generation of firstborn and secondborn children, so that the Souldancer line never died out. The firstborns are not allowed to have relationships or develop attachments to others. (Kind of like the Jedi Order in the Star Wars prequels, and the reasons why are the exact same.) The firstborn are called Guardians, and the secondborn are called Carriers.

Tem is a very weird case because they and their brother Rook are the firstborn together. They are twins, and they both have crystals. Rook's is green while Tem's fluctuates between white, shades of grey, and black (I'll come back to why that's weird later!) But Souldancer twins have never been born before this, so Tem's parents had to figure out what to do. Because Tem was born a few minutes after Rook, their parents decided that Rook would be the next Guardian because he was older. Tem would be the next Carrier. They were supposed to marry a man who was nine years older than them when they turned 16.

They tried to smile and continue living. But they've always loved using their magic and protecting and helping others, and they don't want to give up that part of themselves. So when they turned 15, they ran away from home and moved out to NYC, where they knew an entrance to the Hidden City was. They figured that being closer to the Hidden City would mask their Soul Crystal from their parents' detection.

Tem set up shop and began working as a waiter, while also doing VTubing on the side (which they are slowly but surely getting more views and money from.) They also use the nights to their advantage to not only fight crime and help out injured people using their powers, but also to fight any and all remnants of the Demons' armies. Tem is also trying to destroy any and all remaining Krang weapons (one of which being the Dark Armor.)

Tem meets the Turtles in season 1 of ROTTMNT. They get very insecure about having to share a spotlight with any other heroes. Tem has lived in their brother's shadow for years and wants to escape it and make something of themselves independent from their family. They project hard on the Turtle brothers as a result. However, they soon become friends with the brothers, and develop a rivalry/friendship with Donnie (which eventually turns into a romance, but that's a very slow burn.)

Tem's Powers:

Remember how I mentioned above that Tem's Soul Crystal being greyscale is weird? Well, here's why! All Souldancer firstborns are born with a Crystal, and they all come in different shapes and colours. However, no child has ever been born with a Crystal like Tem's before.

The scale of White to Black shades in magic is reserved for those with a LOT of power, typically Spirits. White magic was typically more focused and could allow a person to utilise any kind of magic they wanted to. Black magic, on the other hand, was harder to control and was more prone to instability. However, it was also the culmination of all colours, so it could also do crazy powerful stuff. The shades of Greys in magic are a combination of both of these aspects. The darker the shade, the more magical energy a person had, but that magic was unstable and difficult to control.

Tem's Crystal changes colour depending on how upset they are. If they feel a very strong emotion such as hatred or terror or even love, their Crystal gets darker. However, Tem's appearance while transformed is a mix of different shades of greys mostly because it is a reflection of their experiences with their magic and emotions. The colour of their Crystal only changes whenever Tem overexerts themselves.

Tem's powers are more specific however. They can see the Veins, but they can also interact with them. If they spend enough time, Tem could find anybody in the world using the Veins. They can even siphon magical energy from a large network of sources to heal others. Think of it like the Law of Equivalent Exchange. Typically, minor injuries like cuts or bruises or even sprains don't take too much magic or effort. Wounds, stabs, broken bones are trickier but also not too difficult to heal. Near-death injuries are harder, but not impossible. However, when someone dies, it is basically impossible to heal from that.

Tem also can drain the life force and magical energy from others. Very similar deal to the Healing magic. Draining magic is easier when it's in smaller quantities. Typically draining small amounts of magic from someone will make them tired or weaker. In larger quantities, it could bring someone to near death or even kill someone. However, removing so much magic from someone as to practically take their soul would absolutely be way too much Black magic for one person to handle and it could possibly kill them.

Alongside that, Tem can also mimic the powers of the Turtles, mostly whenever they are in close proximity to them. So the closer Tem is to a brother, the easier it is for Tem to mimic their powers. Their crystal and clothes even have the colour of the corresponding brother added to them, which disappears when Tem is no longer using their powers. It's also important to note that the more Tem uses one of the Turtles' magical abilities, they also tend to feel whatever it is the brother in question is feeling. They can only use one power at a time, and if they try to do multiple at once, it is too much.

In their Corvid form (as they like to call their transformed black and white self), they can glide, jump farther, run faster than any ordinary human. They also have a significantly higher pain tolerance and much faster reflexes.

/

*I have been a TMNT fan since 2012, and I was 16/17 when Rise was announced/released. Tem is an abridged version of myself in 2017/2018, which is when the events of the first season start. I'm adult now, so any and all content from me about teen Tem and teen Donnie will be strictly SFW. This is kind of a grey zone for me in terms of self-shipping because it's retroactive and Tem's experiences differ from my own drastically.

Why I'm retroactively self-shipping is very personal to me, but it boils down to healing my inner child/teenager. I grew up with these characters and I'd like to pay homage to my younger self and give them some love and support from healthy places. This is very much a love letter to teenage Aso.

O Despertar e a Saída da Matrix: A Farsa do Mundo e do Sistema

Awakening and Escaping the Matrix: The World's Great Farce

Vivemos em um teatro de ilusões,uma grande "Matrix" que molda nossas percepções desde o nascimento. O sistema em que estamos inseridos foi projetado para controlar,manipular e nos manter cegos,obedecendo sem questionar. Desde as religiões até os padrões sociais,somos ensinados a aceitar sem refletir,a nos conformar com mentiras disfarçadas de verdades.

We live in a theater of illusions,a vast "Matrix" that shapes our perceptions from the moment we are born. The system we’re trapped in was designed to control, manipulate,and keep us blind,obedient,and unquestioning. From religions to social norms, we are taught to accept without reflecting,to conform to lies disguised as truths.

Religiões,em particular,têm sido usadas como ferramentas de dominação,vendendo moralidade,salvação e submissão em troca de obediência cega. Elas criam dogmas que aprisionam mentes,impedindo o verdadeiro pensamento crítico e a liberdade espiritual. Quem ousa questionar é rapidamente marginalizado,taxado de "herege" ou "desviado". Esse ciclo se repete por gerações,mantendo as pessoas como escravas emocionais e mentais.

Religions,in particular,have been used as tools of domination, selling morality,salvation,and submission in exchange for blind obedience. They create dogmas that imprison minds, preventing true critical thinking and spiritual freedom. Anyone who dares to question is swiftly marginalized,labeled a "heretic" or "lost." This cycle repeats across generations, keeping people as emotional and mental slaves.

O despertar,no entanto,é um processo doloroso. É como retirar uma venda que esteve sobre seus olhos a vida inteira. Você começa a enxergar a engrenagem do sistema,percebe as falsas promessas e compreende que muito do que lhe foi ensinado não passa de farsa.No entanto, essa clareza tem um preço: o deslocamento.

However,awakening is a painful process. It’s like removing a blindfold that has covered your eyes for your entire life. You start to see the machinery of the system,recognize the false promises,and understand that much of what you were taught is a lie. But this clarity comes with a cost: displacement.

Quando você desperta,não se encaixa mais. A maioria ao seu redor continua imersa na ilusão, acreditando no sistema,seguindo religiões, idolatrando figuras de autoridade e vivendo em piloto automático. Sua busca por verdade e liberdade faz de você um estranho. Você percebe que as pessoas preferem a mentira confortável à verdade que desmorona tudo o que elas conhecem.

When you awaken,you no longer fit in. Most of the people around you remain immersed in the illusion,believing in the system,following religions, idolizing authority figures, and living on autopilot. Your pursuit of truth and freedom makes you a stranger. You realize that people prefer the comforting lie over the truth that dismantles everything they know.

Esse isolamento traz solidão,mas também sabedoria. Compreender o mundo como ele é falho,manipulado,construído sobre falsas estruturas de poder é libertador. Você passa a valorizar a essência das coisas,a questionar tudo e a rejeitar aquilo que serve apenas para manter a servidão.

This isolation brings loneliness but also wisdom. Understanding the world as it truly is flawed,manipulated,built on false structures of power is liberating. You start valuing the essence of things,questioning everything,and rejecting what exists only to sustain servitude.

Despertar é um ato de coragem. É uma jornada para dentro de si mesmo,onde as respostas não são entregues prontamente,mas conquistadas a cada reflexão. É enxergar além do véu da Matrix e se libertar das correntes que prendem a maioria. Contudo,essa liberdade tem um custo: você nunca mais será o mesmo,nunca mais aceitará o que antes parecia "normal".

Awakening is an act of courage. It’s a journey within yourself,where answers aren’t handed to you but earned through reflection. It’s seeing beyond the veil of the Matrix and breaking free from the chains that bind the majority. However,this freedom comes at a cost: you will never be the same again,and you will never accept what once seemed "normal."

E,mesmo na solidão,há força. A sabedoria que vem do despertar é o que dá significado à existência. Ela lhe permite caminhar com os próprios pés,pensar com a própria mente e viver de acordo com a sua verdade mesmo que o mundo continue cegamente preso às mentiras que o mantém de pé.

And yet,in the loneliness,there is strength. The wisdom that comes with awakening gives meaning to existence. It allows you to walk on your own path, think with your own mind,and live according to your truth even as the world continues blindly clinging to the lies that keep it afloat.

Mediocridade multimilionária

Devia talvez guardar isto para o artigo da próxima Segunda-feira, mas não resisto a deixar já a sugestão de leitura - You Can't Make Friends With the Rockstars, de Ed Zitron, sobre a mediocridade de bilionários como Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk ou Sam Altman (já é bilionário?). E, acima de tudo, sobre como a forma praticamente acrítica como a imprensa - generalista ou especializada - papagueia factóides irrelevantes que pouco mais servem do que para lavar imagem, deixando para segundo plano o escrutínio devido e necessário às empresas e plataformas que dirigem, aos resultados que obtém por acção ou inacção, e pelas promessas fantasiosas que nunca são cumpridas. O artigo é longo, está bem escrito (como é aliás habitual em Ed Zitron), e merece leitura atenta. Deixo este destaque:

Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sam Altman are not, despite their achievements, remarkable people. They are dull, and while they might be intelligent, they’re far from intellectual, appearing to lack any real interests, hobbies or joys, other than Zuckerberg's brief dalliance with mixed martial arts. They all read the same shit, they talk the same way, they have the same faux-intellectualism that usually boils down to how they're "big thinkers" that think about "big things" like "intelligence" and "consciousness," when what they mostly do is dance around issues without adding anything substantive, because they don't really believe anything. At the core of this problem is, in my mind, a distinct unwillingness ��� perhaps it's a kind of cognitive dissonance — to believe that somebody could be so rich, powerful, and mediocre. It's much easier to see Sam Altman as a "genius master-class strategist" than as just another rich guy that's really good at manipulating other rich guys into doing things for him, or Elon Musk as a "precocious genius" rather than a boorish oaf that's exceedingly good at leveraging both assets and his personal brand. It's far more comfortable to see the world as one where these people have "earned" their position, and that they, at the top of their industries, are special people, because otherwise you'd have to consider that for the most part, they're all frightfully average. There is nothing special about Elon Musk, Sam Altman, or Mark Zuckerberg. Accepting that requires you to also accept that the world itself is not one that rewards the remarkable, or the brilliant, or the truly incredible, but those who are able to take advantage of opportunities, which in turn leads to the horrible truth that those who often have the most opportunities are some of the most boring and privileged people alive.

Entender isto a partir do ponto de vista de um entusiasta da ciência e da ficção científica é incrivelmente desapontante. A Inteligência Artificial, esse conceito fascinante que Shelley, Heinlein, Brunner, Dick, Clarke, Gibson, Vinge (Vernor e Joan), Chiang, Leckie, e tantos outros nomes da litereatura de ficção científica exploraram (exploram ainda) de forma imaginativa, vê-se na nossa realidade reduzida um conceito meio vazio de marketing que agrega software de análise estatística, modelos de linguagem que pouco mais são do que um autocomplete glorificado que tem dado um impulso tremendo à disseminação de notícias falsas, e geradores de imagens e vídeos assentes num roubo massiço de propriedade intelectual que servem para alguns palermas se dizerem "artistas", para notícias falsas (claro) e para pornografia deepfake (porque a Regra 34 será, se me permitem o exercício de futurologia, uma das poucas normas imutáveis de uma cada vez mais degradada Internet).

E que dizer da exploração espacial, esse sonho que estimulou a imaginação de tanta gente durante os anos 50 e 60? Deixou de estar na mão de cientistas, de ser um sonho colectivo - o tal passo de gigante para a Humanidade que Neil Armstrong deixou para a história na superfície lunar - para ser o brinquedo de alguns bilionários lunáticos.

Tenho muita simpatia pelo Duncan Jones (realizou Moon e Warcraft), aprecio o entusiasmo, e percebo o que quer dizer aqui, a propósito do feito de engenharia - espantoso, sim! - da Space X no fim-de-semana ao apanhar um foguetão. Mas, lá está, é um pouco como a eterna questão de separar, ou não, a arte do artista. No caso em apreço, tratra-se de separar, ou não, a Space X do seu CEO, Elon Musk, um labrego endinheirado cujos objectivos de meia-idade passam por prometer tecnologia que a imprensa (e o seu vasto séquito de acólitos) aceita sem questionar e por garantir que o discurso fascista em acelerado ressurgimento no Ocidente tem ao seu dispor o vasto megafone que é o Twitter. É claro que sei - todos sabemos - que Musk nada tem que ver com a tecnologia, com a engenharia e com a matemática que permite à Space X colocar foguetões em órbita e apanhá-los com uma precisão quase impossível, mas será difícil não notar que estes feitos também contribuem (e de que maneira!) para a lavagem de imagem de um tipo execrável e perigoso. E é aí que o entusiasmo falha.

A esta altura do campeonato diria que quase todos os entusiastas da ficção científica - entre os quais me incluo - já perceberam que a exploração do espaço profundo, a acontecer, não acontecerá durante o nosso tempo de vida. Com muita sorte, talvez ainda vejamos seres humanos a pisar de novo a Lua, e talvez possamos acompanhar algumas descobertas feitas a partir de telescópios e radiotelescópios, ou até mesmo de sondas enviadas para as luas de Júpiter ou de Saturno. Mas missões tripuladas a Marte? Essa é mais uma promessa de Musk para entreter papalvos. E sintomática: nas mãos de gente como Musk ou Bezos, o espaço, mesmo aquele que nos está mais próximo (para recordar Douglas Adams, space is big), será pouco mais do que um vasto recreio para ricaços.

A malta cá em baixo fica com o lixo, a poluição, as alterações climáticas, a desinformação, e as realidades alternativas.

Por isso é-me difícil acompanhar o entusiasmo de Jones. Foi um feito notável, o da Space X; mas nestes dias em que nos encontramos importa pouco ou nada. O futuro que estes tecnobarões prometem está a anos-luz das utopias da ficção científica, mas parece estar absurdamente próximo de várias distopias.

Enfim, já me distanciei um bocado com o pessimismo. Leiam o artigo do Ed Zitron, que vale bem a pena.

[officialfoxsquadron]

a lil draft of an upcoming confrontation between lottie and tem.

tw blood, amputation.

“Where do you think the money came from? Robbery and arms dealing, wrapped up in a pretty little package so they-” Tem thrust his finger at Luke- “could manipulate you.”

Lottie scrunched up her face, shook her head. “No, that’s wrong, we-Our only deal was with Jedi, the rest of it was charity-”

“How old were you, girl, when it all fell apart? Eleven? Twelve? You don’t actually think we were stupid enough to tell children what we were really doing?"

Lottie sniffed, tears forming in her eyes, her mouth contorted in an angry frown. “Is this the excuse you use at night? To go to bed?”

Tem walked over to her, bent down, and tilted her chin with two fingers. She set her jaw. “Which one do you use, sweet one?”

Lottie smiled, for just a moment, and grabbed his fingers hard enough to cause Tem to yelp in pain. She reached for her crysknife, lightning-quick, and cut them off, blood and fingers splattering on the ground.

Tem let out a howl of pain, knees collapsing, clutching the stumps of his fingers.

Luke caught Lottie’s eyes as she strode away. He felt his breath hitch in his throat, blood rush from his head.

Oh, I really should have dealt with these feelings earlier, Luke thought. Because seeing Lottie smirk at him, run her tongue over her teeth-

He had never wanted another person so badly in his life.

“You may be a traitor, Tem, but you will not die like one.” She turned sideways into a fighting stance, twirling the knife into a reverse grip. “Dance with me.”

Ships

I want to talk about ships.

First I want to get out of the way is that I don't understand people who do them in the first place. Sure I might find some of the art and fanstories people make of the ships have cute moments between the characters and all. But I personally like to keep things as canon as possible, because then I know what I'm writing/drawing and I'm not wasting my precious time on something that does not hold up to the actual thing.

Some spoilers for Gravity Falls and Beastars...

Okay so now that that's out of the way, I want to talk about the actual problem. Certain ships and the patterns of problems I see with some of them.

LGBTQ+ Ships:

Gravity Falls BillDip

Nowadays you can see a lot of ships, that much is true. But I want to bring up certain ships like BillDip, a good example of a problematic one. And this is just a bizarre example I could think of being bad. And I'm glad it pretty much stopped being so popular. BillDip takes a timeless extraterrestrial triangle (or mostly I see him portrayed as a non-canon human version) with the most immense powers in the world who is the greatest sworn enemy of originally a canonically average 12-year-old (for most of the series before at the end he turned 13). Do you see the problem here? Sure if you age up the second character it is technically legal to do that... But they still have a great age gap of about a trillion years. Okay... What if you age the first character down? Well, now you have stayed way too far from canon, at this point why not just find another ship that could perfectly accommodate your liking? There are many characters who are all-mighty beings and many characters who are just average in the same universe of the same fandom. And the problem is that they don't even have chemistry. They are the greatest sworn enemies with nothing in common. Bill is manipulative and bad, and Dipper knows that. The only moment Bill is nice to Dipper is when he's trying to manipulate him into possessing his body. They are literally the greatest enemies, not even a single bit of chemistry. And I feel the only reason it was ever shipped is because one of them was male (well a genderless cosmic being, but a male-like side to him) and the other one was too. Not everything that's gay is good.

Beastars Lougosi

But I'm not bitching on all gay ships if you're asking, no. Some are actually backed up by canon and make sense to a certain degree. Let's say the ship Lougosi. This ship takes place in a world of anthropomorphic animals where it's almost forbidden for carnivore animals to interact with herbivores. Louis is a male deer who was the head actor of the drama club. Legosi, a male gray wolf, worked for the sets for the plays of the drama club. Well, Legosi is usually portrayed to have been a dangerous person at first because he is automatically grouped as a carnivore alongside him having a menacing aura. And Louis seemed to not like him at first, where Legosi was the main angering for Louis. So Louis saw Legosi as some kind of antagonist before. There have been moments in the series that suggest a connection between eating and mating inside this universe as many of the characters talk about those things, or those things got mentioned, at the same time. So when Louis just one time grabbed Legosi and asked him to show him his fangs, that might've been an awakening for some people to ship this. It has also been shown throughout the series and is actually one of the main plots, that Legosi is in love with a herbivore (a white dwarf rabbit by the name of Haru to be exact), so the possibility of him liking Louis in this ship is not too far off. Along with Louis actually becomes the boss of a carnivore gang of lions for the black market, where he learns to bond with them and actually eat meat... Right at the end of the series, it is shown that Louis sacrifices a leg to Legosi so that he can become strong and fight the murderer of Tem (an alpaca friend of Legosi) who was Riz (a large brown bear).

It's just that some ships I find seem to not work, no chemistry, and no anything. It just seems that some ships are just for the sake of the LGBTQ+ and its over-representation as some of these awful ships. If you're going to represent the LGBTQ+ community and try to be inclusive, please don't push some of these ships. Sure it's fine I guess if you ship it as a crack ship, but really think about whether you actually ship certain characters together or not. And I'm not saying that the shipping fandom is bad, I just want to bring attention to the bad part I find of it.

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

and 26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended

For the artist ask game :D

Ohh!! SORRY I ACCIDENTALLY CLICKED ON SEND FJDKCKXKXK

5. Tbh I post most of my art! Maybe a few wip, but most I've posted, in a way or another! One example is this one! I want to make a cover for my comic cotl au but I didn't like it, but also no ideas 😔😔

26. Awn that's kinda hard tbh... I think most of my art/comic come across well enough! /gen; but I do remember, in that old comic I did of Narinder giving Forneus a skull necklace, where some people interpreted it as Narinder manipulating Forneus to take the necklace (even if not intentionally); which wasn't the case, he's just bad at expressing himself lol

Ig it also goes for my tem and Riz childhood friends au when people theorized in a page that Pina was gonna appear fnfjfkfmffn NGL that would've been cute xDDD not a different interpretation but funny fact

@stellarisen has requested a story : “Say your prayers, little one.” // from tem to namyr kadai ;) ehehehe

𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒅.

How far from the path we’ve strayed , beloved friend.  Verily , it was once o u r path to walk ( together always , wasn’t that our promise ? wasn’t that what we swore to each other ? have you already forgotten all that we said & did ? ) … And now , AND NOW— She barely recognizes him and who he has become ( another senseless peon ) .  The man she remembers is hardly there anymore.  Kadai would not be surprised if Temenos killed him to become the Skeksis’ ready and able s e r v a n t .  They , the very same monsters who now send her once-friend to HUNT & COLLECT HER ; clever , cruel , pinning them against each other purely for the s p o r t of watching the gelfling who care for each other most do each the most h a r m in the end.

If only there was a better solution to this.  The only thing Kadai can ever think of is GRABBING HIM & BEATING THE SENSE back into him ; reasoning with the Inquisitor has long been out of the question.  His loyalty to the Skeksis is terrifying and resolute.  Kadai knows she might have already l o s t Temenos to their thrall , she knows that prolonging the inevitable is simply … Putting them both at risk.  But if there is still a c h a n c e , should she not take the risk just the same ?  Should she not seize it and CLING TO IT ?  For him , she would do a n y t h i n g .

Perhaps that is why there comes no real falter , no real resistance when Temenos pulls her close with his staff , the two gelfling standing near nose-to-nose as he utters his piece , believing – rather FOOLISHLY – he’s at l a s t caught the elusive quarry his Lords have sent him after.  Kadai grins at him ; features SPLITTING WIDE APART in a show of fangs and none of the friendliness , a slash of startling w h i t e cutting garishly across her dark-hued features.  ❝ Oh ? ❞  She asks aloud , followed shortly by her meanspirited c a c k l i n g , each note like a ringing blade ; clear , crisp , condescending.  How many times shall they play this game ?  How many times shall they have such a conversation ?  ❝ And to whom , O’Inquisitor , do I give my prayers to ?  The LORDS ? ❞  A scoff , head tossing , ears and wings flicking.  ❝ Please !  You think they would care ?  You think they would listen ?  They only humor you to manipulate you !  Such has been the case for trine upon trine ! ❞  Her voice raises , practically s h o u t i n g at him.  Not wise to antagonize him and his faith , but Kadai doesn’t much c a r e for being wise.

Although her hands are bound , she’s still f r e e in other ways.  Her sharp-tipped tail lifts and JABS HIS SIDE with a stabbing force , not enough to impale but enough to give herself some breathing room ,  ❝ I suppose I shall pray just the same , ❞ Kadai says , continuing the momentum of the conversation , ❝ I shall pray that you open your eyes and see the truth for YOURSELF ! ❞  She bounces away a few steps , light on the balls of her feet , bringing herself to the ledge of the clifface.  Watching him for a moment or two , Kadai grins again.  ❝ You know , we really must stop meeting like this , ❞ She teeters over the edge , ❝ I fear I might fall for you ! ❞  And there she goes , throwing herself into open air , down towards the frothing sea below.  It’s suicide to try flying in a s t o r m for most , but Kadai is well-known for her risky endeavors.  Her wings flare open , catching the churning , angry currents of the winds which carry her immediately aloft.  Temenos is not lucky today ; perhaps next time ( as there is assuredly going to be a next time ) .

Certo dia Hazel descobre que tirou uma nota baixa em matemática e terá que fazer uma recuperação no dia seguinte para melhorar sua nota. Não podendo se arriscar em tirar outra nota ruim, pede que a irmã, Harriet, se passe por ela para fazer a prova. O que Hazel não esperava, era que Louis Tomlinson, com quem está tendo um caso às escondidas, fosse o professor responsável por supervisionar a recuperação, aumentando as chances de confusão em 100%.

Going off of GDP-1987/Charles Allumina.

1. What they plan to do to the lost prototype of GDP-1987 once they recontain it.

2. Very strict. Outside of one person/droid, everyone else is an acquaintance, the one person being GDP-1983/Melody/Kian, an old member of the squad that 1987 was in a relationship with.

3. 1987 and Charles both don't show their genuine emotions to mostly anyone.

4. They don't really have an old hobby that they miss. They grew up during a time of a World War, forcing Charles to rely entirely upon himself and his friend to grt whatever they needed. If anything, that they miss, it is their humanity and the people they lost during their lives.

5. While yes, they could cry on command if need be, they don't have much of any use for it outside of manipulation.

6. The perfect life they'd recommend is to be mostly isolated and to enjoy the peace and quiet. Oh, and music.

7. I have high doubts much of anything would be able to get his attention. Maybe saying that they have 1983/Kian might set them off, but that is only if there is proof and they aren't trying to just be (for lack of words) emptily threaten them out.

8. Very strict, they have 1983/Melody, and outside of that, they don't say it to anyone.

9. Genuinely uncertain. Off the ship thing I wrote between 1987 and Elias, I'd say it depends on the situation. If nothing bad is happening, soft. Otherwise, tough.

10. Nothing much really. They only really live a tough life.

11. If impersonating Charles, all one would have to ask is how old they are. No one is aware of how old '87 is.

12. If '83/Mel/Ki tells a really bad joke. Like dad joke stuff. Outside of that, if they warned someone of something bad happening and it then happening.

13. Not much. They don't smile often either unless in a fight and is playing with their food.

14. They dont have candles.

15. Work/outside of their isolated place they found for home, Charles is all work oriented. Super keen on the senses they have, ready to fight at any moment. At home, more lax.

16. They constantly think of any way they could fight Director Adrian Klauss (the head Director of DPHF).

17. Any damages that could potentially reveal the true identity, and then they immediately fix it. Others usually notice how cold their presence in general is.

18. 1983/Kian/Melody. He's trying to also help bring back their memory together after DPHF found a way to wipe 83's system memories

19. Either kill or kidnap them. Depends if they have info that 87 wants.

20. They respect the effort Director Klauss has to gone to keep the legacy of his father intact. Outside of that, he absolutely despises him.

21. Common etiquette in their world would be not going into any transhumanisms, like replacing parts of themselves for robotic parts or adding nanobot storage units for use. As Charles, he shows that one arm and opposite leg are robotic, which also shows two nanobot storage units. One on the hand, the other on the forearm.

22. Pulling out any sort of droid checking device. The flesh they still have hides the droid parts from the systems, but it still slightly puts tem enough on edge.

23. All the droid checking devices they have put out. They've caught a good amount of missing prototypes using the tech Charles has made.

24. No.

25. They are a really good musician. Music has nothing to do with the plot, and I don't plan on adding any points where he reveals this either.

26. Being the head droid hunter of DPHF and a leading medical researcher, he'd probably find a way to interrogate everything the person that is replacing them, kill them, and continue to work there. Then maybe kill the boss.

27. The gift of immortality is both the worst and best gift they have gotten.

28. They tell people that they want to have a world where they no longer have to worry about a robot uprising. What they truly want is a revolution and imprison those that wants to continue the Klauss' Droid Soldier Program.

29. Usually intimidation, or proves them about it. They dont often get into a spot where that happens.

30. The mistakes that are made usually end up in death, so he does whatever he can to get himself and 1983 out of therey with no second thoughts about the lives they used to save their own. Amazing what happens when ones mentality is manipulated to lose almost all empathy.

31. Usually, it's if 1983 gets injured. They go full protective until they've patched 1983 up and they are back to fully functional.

32. The amount of crimes he has already committed is absurd, treating the Geneva Convention essentially as a checklist. Petty crime is nothing in comparison.

33. "Greetings xyz".

34. "Greetings xyz." or if it's 1983 "Hey/Howdy. "

35. The smallest questionable choice they've made? Charles straight up murked a man just because he didn't like the guys attitude.

36. Adrian Klauss and every member of the Droid Prototype Recovery Team. All for self-preservation reasons.

37. The amount of killings they have done together.

38. They act bad at long range shooting in front of others but are actually great at it.

39. Rather excluded. He prefers people being 100% up front with the truth.

40. They don't really do handshakes. Highly ranked enough where if he is in public he has personal droid guard that he designed to be around him. When he does do handshakes, he doesn't care if they are tight or loose.

41. They have picked up different battle mannerisms from taking apart different model droids that were on the brink of falling apart and putting them into his own programming. He also has gotten a small bit of Director Klauss' arrogance.

42. They likely wouldn't even show up.

43. Any time someone turns around and goes "Well, Charles..." he immediately readies up a weapon. As long as they don't go off on about how they figured out who he actually is, he apologizes about it, and that they assumed they were about to be killed.

44. Any language honestly. They are part droid, after all.

45. They hate wet clothing.

46. Listener. Only thing that will make them talk is if they are wrong about information or have an idea they have that will improve something 1987 wants to actually work.

47. His parents. He does not remember his parents.

48. If it means concealment of his true identity, Charles will say yes to anything.

49. Yes.

50. I personally don't agree with killing people just because you don't like the attitude they have. So many better reasons to want someone's head.

51. Either "Men stronger than you have tried, Men stronger than you have failed. What made you think you were different?", "The only way I will know rest is when I allow it.", "The people who made me centuries back couldn't kill me. The government who tracked me once couldn't destroy me. Able to improve myself through the years, what makes you think you can?" or "You can forget who I am, and I'll spare you. Forget this happened. This isn't a fight you will win."

52. The system runs multiple simulations of what may happen before they act on what to do.

53. Model 001, Model 191, and 1983.

54. To fight.

55. Genuinely no idea. They'd probably hate detaining things for holding and research.

56. Scare/Fear is not an emotion that is genuinely felt by 1987.

57. Eating, they are often forced to eat.

58. They haven't had much hobbies. Designing new machines, farming, and building a house is something they have done once before.

If you didn't know, they are one and the same. Charles is the name he goes by when he is with other actual people. GDP-1987-MAID-B (Medical Assault Infiltration and Interrogation Droid Model B) was the assigned name when Charles was taken as a child for a government project to perfect AI during a war. He works at the Droid Prototype Holding Facility (DPHF), a place where many prototypes that have been recovered from that war are held, questioned, destroyed, researched, and more. He plans on destroying that place from the inside out. Now you know why if any answers seem weird.

the ballad of any girl 🥀

Copyright © Verena, 2024. All rights reserved.

Treat you as nothing, hush, hush, this is the life of any girl.

Always in a rush to find a crush, this is the life of any girl.

You can't say anything, it's not your place,

You're not allowed to speak of sex, in the men's world,

Are you ready for it? They are always in a rush to judgment.

Treat you as an adult, when you're just a kid, this is the life of any girl.

Always in a rush to point out what you did, this is the life of any girl.

You can't express anything, it's not your place,

You're not allowed to cross the line, in the men's world,

Are you ready for it? They are always in a rush to judgment.

"Tush! We don't have time for that nonsense,"

This is what I listened to in the rush men's world.

"Tush! You can't be serious about that!"

This is what I listened to in the rush men's world.

Treat you like nothing using sweet words, this is the life of any girl.

Always in a rush, trying to fit his ideals, this is the life of any girl.

He said, "It's a safe place," but you can't say one word,

You're not allowed to express, or you're dead, in the men's world.

Are you ready for it? He's always in a rush to judgment.

I wonder if he squirrels all his sympathy in his dick?

Maybe that's why his size is on the smaller side.

The ballad of any girl, in the men's world.

He preaches equality, but it's all false.

The ballad of any girl, in the men's world.

He says some sweet words in the classroom, but it's all false.

The ballad of any girl, in the men's world.

He builds his image so well, but I heard he treats his wife badly.

The ballad of any girl, in the men's world.

You're not allowed to discuss, when this man is your teacher.

There are some hierarchies you have to follow, sweet creature,

Keep your peace of mind 'cause he's a fucking manipulative preacher.

Are you ready for it?

a balada de qualquer garota

Tratam você como nada, silêncio, silêncio, essa é a vida de qualquer garota.

Sempre com pressa para encontrar uma paixão, essa é a vida de qualquer garota.

Você não pode dizer nada, não é seu lugar,

Você não tem permissão para falar de sexo, no mundo dos homens,

Você está pronta para isso? Eles estão sempre com pressa para julgar.

Tratam você como uma adulta, quando você é apenas uma criança, essa é a vida de qualquer garota.

Sempre com pressa para apontar o que você fez, essa é a vida de qualquer garota.

Você não pode expressar nada, não é seu lugar,

Você não tem permissão para cruzar a linha, no mundo dos homens,

Você está pronta para isso? Eles estão sempre com pressa para julgar.

"Tush!* Não temos tempo para essas bobagens,"

Isso é o que eu ouvia no mundo apressado dos homens.

"Tush!* Você não pode estar falando sério sobre isso!"

Isso é o que eu ouvia no mundo apressado dos homens.

Tratar você como nada usando palavras doces, essa é a vida de qualquer garota.

Sempre com pressa, tentando se encaixar em seus ideais, essa é a vida de qualquer garota.

Ele disse: "É um lugar seguro", mas você não pode dizer uma palavra,

Você não tem permissão para se expressar, ou você está morta, no mundo dos homens.

Você está pronta para isso? Ele está sempre com pressa para julgar.

Eu me pergunto se ele esconde toda a sua simpatia em seu pau?

Talvez seja por isso que seu tamanho seja menor.

A balada de qualquer garota, no mundo dos homens.

Ele prega igualdade, mas é tudo falso.

A balada de qualquer garota, no mundo dos homens.

Ele diz algumas palavras doces na sala de aula, mas é tudo falso.

A balada de qualquer garota, no mundo dos homens.

Ele constrói sua imagem tão bem, mas ouvi dizer que ele trata a esposa mal.

A balada de qualquer garota, no mundo dos homens.

Você não tem permissão para discutir, quando esse homem é seu professor.

Existem algumas hierarquias que você tem que seguir, doce criatura,

Mantenha sua paz de espírito porque ele é um pregador manipulador do caralho.

Você está pronta para isso?
