my son lucas was dealt such a dirty hand by the whole franchise man. like he's arguably one of the more important characters lore-wise and they never did ANYTHING with him!! they just refuse to acknowledge his existence
please please PLEASE give more attention to my boy. he deserves it methinks
#yokai watch#yo-kai watch#yo kai watch#Lucas schiffer#im convinced that every time they worked on a new ykw game past 1 they had a huge sign with bright red flashing letters#that spelled out “DO NOT MENTION THIS MAN” and pointed at a printed out image of Lucas#which sucks bc he had a lot of character potential beyond the occasional quest or two-#the fact that his both of his names in English and Japan were puns abt demons#(“Lucas Schiffer” sounding like Lucifer and “Mao” sounding close to Maо̄/魔王 which means “Demon King”)#makes me think he could've been set up for a fucked up little evil boy arc#which might've been interesting#but no. he just never gets to do anything ever.#idk I just wish they did SOMETHINGGGGG with him bc I like him a lot#despite the fact that he is just straight up a piece of cardboard personality-wise bc the franchise barely touches him#hes just neat to me#I dont know jack shit abt yo-kai watch lore past the 3rd game but surely they could've let him do something#since it looks like 4 is really enma-focused and he's. yknow. AN ENMA DESCENDANT#idk the lack of focus on lucas has always annoyed me since he's literally one of the most interesting characters in the franchise

whoops i asked in the wrong place. would you be willing to do a request of the vargas boys in a SAW trap? thank you in advance <3
Day 2 - Was it not obvious enough
#My art#Requestober#Vargas#Edgar#Scriabin#Blood#SAW#So fun fact about me: I have never seen any of the SAW movies and I have exactly zero interest in changing that lol#I'm actually a huge wimp when it comes to live action horror - I can handle just about any other kind of horror!#I love horror video games and animation and comics and stories but I just get really super uncomfortable by live action horror#Especially slashers - I top out around ''Get Out'' as far as on-screen blood and injuries and the like :(#Which sucks because as I said! I love horror! I want to watch Nightmare on Elm Street so badly but I can't! ;o;#And there's something funny about just how violent JtHM and Vargas and everything is but I'm just like#''SAW :( No I can't :('' lol#So I actually had to outsource from a friend lol she's a big slasher buff and knows I can't handle this stuff#So she briefly described a trap from SAW II and I extrapolated from there#Do I have context for you? No#Do I have blood for you? Yes >:)#Poor Edgar D: I dunno if I read correct from glancing around all the scary imagery but there was something about this trap?#About how like if they didn't put both hands they might've been able to get out? :0 I don't actually know#And anyway he has Scriabin there with him! Help!#He's no help at all lol he's just jostling the trap that'll just hurt him more!#I just like to imagine there's a semi-happy ending :') Still a lot of bloodloss tho haha#Anyway I probably wouldn't do one of these live action horror crossovers again :'D Once is more than enough for me

Okay, out of yoga and just because I was percolating on it as I was incorrectly using meditation at the end of the class, haha, but I do think the show is also saying something very specific when it has Louis unable to create art instantly turn around and seek to own, then profit off it without any respect for the artist who made it.
#i mean obviously i've been thinking this for a while given i wrote it into fic#but i think that idea of art as a product instead of art as something to be experienced is direct commentary on the cultural landscape#as it exists right now#but also of this sense of how people who can't do it both use and undervalue the people who can#it's going to be really interesting to see next season what they do with the fact that lestat will be making music#i actually could see them bringing louis back to photography but what that means is anyone's guess#also unrelated but i think i might've figured out a fic for one of the kinktober prompts which is delightful and might actually be fun#instead of angsty haha

@tinybigfoot no i love information! which is unfortunately often in conflict with "i'm not looking up shit," like might be found on wikis easily lmao, except for when i'm having an "i'm extremely looking up shit" moment. love the drama of the scene having a known time via Newspaper b/c of the accurate contemporaneous headlines rather than being able to simply read the date; didn't know about that event! and this is me just yesterday looking at bits of paper in the backdrop of one of the Introduction comic pages like ooh can i read this (no) imagine it if had Clues (don't think it would & doesn't seem to anyways)
another zany fact to remember that yeah according to those character profiles mitzi Would Have It Be Believed she's at all younger than mordecai, ft. the implication that since yeah he was born in '99 & mitzi Was born in the nineteenth century too, she's either the same age or slightly older. let's go Circa Thirty Characters....which is mostly just mitzi who'd deny as much & mordecai having a couple years to go, fingers crossed. then we leap over to people born in the '80s lol
#which still leaves the timeline a bit fuzzy....bobby estimating mordecai ''couldn't have been very much older than [ivy] at the time''#like well that's true at his entire early twenties really....and all this from a person Bad At Estimating Ages IRL Or Otherwise (me)#lackadaisy#thanks for the info fr it's like now you Know if this is out there it may be lookuppable. and then i don't#(his age when on the train / meeting atlas might've been answered in an ask fairly recently too iirc)#i'll remember that the ask was there but not what it said lmao. think i More So recalled that the age based pants length conventions were#discussed in another history moment. which i'm Also interested in and Also forgot the pertinent details of lmfao#looking up the wall street bombing there like oh first link to the fbi website? not on my watch....#looked at the smithsonian website's extremely brief Synopsis with a grain of salt too. well alright

@bunniesandbeheadings I might misunderstand the text you linked. How could Mary call Edward a bastard? KoA was dead by then, and of course widowers can remarry. Calling Jane a legitimate Queen in no way would take away KoA’s status as Queen?
all of hviii's marriages after catherine of aragon were not recognised by the catholic church/pope. when he needed dispensations for these marriages, like for affinity (his marriage to jane was one of them), they were granted by the anglican church, whose authority the pope and other catholic monarchies of christendom did not recognise (the last real 'papal' henrician appointment, irony of ironies, was thomas cranmer's). there was also the matter of all marriages taking place when the realm was in schism, thus "all other women of henry concubines and not wives". prince edward was (legitimate) heir as reified by parliament; both retroactively from the succession act of 1536 and in name by the one of 1543.
foreign dignitaries of course, when they visited, would honour whoever henry's wife was as queen to maintain good relations and as matter of diplomacy (this wasn't, of course, done by the imperial until the last weeks of AB's time as queen, but otherwise, she was, even if 'frostily' by the french as in 1534). but they were often under instruction to treat this status as transient, as lauren mackay has summarized in her biography of chapuys, for example, charles v was rather mercenary in his attitude towards jane seymour, continually referring to her as henry's 'mistress' well into their marriage in his own instructions to chapuys:
"It appears Charles [V] was at times rather ruthless in regards to Jane, despite the fact that her being in power benefitted Mary. Charles referred to her in several dispatches as Henry's mistress rather than queen [...]" Inside the Tudor Court, Lauren Mackay
#bunniesandbeheadings#replies#there's like the question of why mary did not attempt to overthrow edward while he was king if she didn't believe his reign was legitimate#which is an interesting one...#but 1) her biographers really discount how much of a dissembler she was#2) loades theorized that she actually did buy into the henrician supremacy and her own illegitimacy and simply had a turnaround once#edward died believing that was god's sign she was the rightful heir thus legitimate...which i find an oversimplistic explanation. to say#the least...#i think psychologically in the last years of the edwardian regime she had something of a redeux of the AB years?#this belief england was going to fall into perdition due to 'evil councilors' but she couldn't do anything to reverse it#which is why there's an escape attempt not just an escape plan as in the former but she also decides against this in the last hour#so yes. what was her plan? or hope? it might've been that edward vi would be excommunicated as he reached his majority#and that charles v took up the call to invade and england became one of his dominions#and she would be set up as regent as he set up his other female relatives as regent in his absence#idk if i'd say jane being in power benefitted mary. all the 'benefits' she received came from her swearing to oaths she'd been pressurized#to swear to for the past two years...?#anyway this was illuminating and instructive. to me. it best explains imo why she took such a defiant attitude towards edward. she wouldn't#have seen it as defiant if she didn't believe in his authority in the first place

getting my friend to watch arcane and get invested for season 2 has been an overwhelming success. tonight there was me, my friend who's already seen it, our friend who's seeing it for the first time, another new friend who is subletting here also watching for the first time, her friend who's already seen it, a housemate who's already seen it, her friend who hasn't, a housemate who hasn't seen it and her friend who HAS, a friend of my friend who's already seen it who saw it years ago but forgot almost everything, and briefly, another housemate who has seen it dropped in for a bit. this all started bc i just wanted my friend alyssa to watch it
#p#it still makes me bounce off the walls bc of how much i like it#and it feels so nice to like. analyze the characters and their dynamics etc. like it's not just in my head and internet strangers#the silco/jinx dynamic is still so good. like good in that it's incredibly fucked up but also..#ira pointed out how the dynamic between vi and powder wasn't super healthy beforehand either actually#like vi might've been too overprotective which is an interesting thought#ira pointed out how ekko was powder's age but he was able to keep up and was 'tougher' while powder had a complex abt being weak#idk it's not a major shift in my interpretation but i never considered it before so it's interesting

Do you think Near has ever wanted to turn back the time? Like he had something he regretted and wanted to change it?
I was listening to the song “The scientist” - Coldplay and I kept wondering, especially for someone as practical as he is 🤔
Ooh this is a really interesting question, thank you!! Personally I’m inclined to go with no, because I don’t think he’s really the type to have regrets. Things absolutely can and do go wrong in his life (case in point, him becoming too complacent towards the end of the Kira case which necessitated the situation that got Mello killed), but I couldn’t see him ever wishing to go back and change outcomes that have already happened. I think he’d see it as a waste of his time to dwell on past mistakes, so when things go wrong, he will deal with the consequences and move on.
#mello's death is an interesting case to consider though#because he says in the warehouse scene that he doesn't believe mello thought far ahead enough to realise that mikami's death note was fake#which suggests that he probably thinks mello was acting in his own self-interest and it was pure coincidence that he saved near's life#but i am so completely convinced that mello intended to save him#and if near DID think that then the blame would be on him for mello dying#so in that scenario i could see the thought crossing his mind that there might've been something he could've done#but i don't think he'd bother entertaining that line of thinking because he recognises that it's unhelpful#asks#nate river

Idk what type of denial I'm in but the defanged au is a fucking Philip redemption au what was I on to be constantly reassuring people it's not a redemption plot lmao open your EYES Flowery
#hits myself over the head with facts#I think a big part of it might've been because I was scared when I first thought of it??#a big part of the fandom HATES Belos (for good reason) but also targets their hate towards people who like Belos as a character#which is pretty weird haha#I understand disliking people who try to say 'Belos is a actually just a misunderstood lil meow meow all he needed was friendship'#like bro completely deserved to be stomped to death fr let's all be honest here#but am I not allowed to like an evil character just cause??#I like how insane this guy is with his reasoning - how he somehow thinks he's the hero in all of this LIKE#What did you have to go through or have as an example to think mass genocide is you being the hero??#he's just such an interesting creature - I want to dissect him like a frog#It doesn't help that he's pretty too wtf where they thinking giving grampa those luscious locks - he's so fun to draw#anyway sorry to rant just think it's weird#liking a villain doesn't mean you condone their actions#also I better not see any of yall tell me I got daddy issues or religious trauma I AM WELL AWARE

you guys ever dip your toes back into old fandoms out of curiosity and immediately want to die
#is there anything worse than widespread/popular fanon. i don't think so#like having fun is one thing i also like to be delulu BUT when people treat popular fanon as sacred and like. shit on people who dare not#adhere to it. i'm always like................ ?#babygirl you made that up. (which again i think is w/e.). but someone is not 'reading the text wrong' if they don't agree with you.#like you know when people literally treat it as the 'better' version of the text. or way the better way to engage w a text#and they get so hostile with it. i've even had fic comments before like 'i don't agree with this part bc my headcanon is __ but i enjoyed#the rest of it. next time you should _______' and it's like ????? next time you should shut up#i guess also bc more often than not fanon is just like. less complex versions of canon characters now featuring 20 tropes!#which might've been fun when i was 15 but not now. the way i approach stuff is just different now lmao. but anyway#confirms that i likely wont ever return to being involved w [redacted]. despite the special interest brainworms.

perhaps i'd be more articulate the next time i'll write this down, but just know this - my portrayal of neville will always love hermione quite whole-heartedly. i wish i have the brain capacity to describe just how much hermione means to neville, but let's just say it encapsulates beyond even a romantic notion; it's everything. loving, respecting, being around hermione simply to enjoy her company is purely a selfless act that brings immense satisfaction and enjoyment for him. again, his actions [for any hermione portrayals] may came out incredibly romantic, although please be forewarned that this is in no way of me pushing for a ship — for i, too, much rather build a dynamic than forcing one — but simply the way i've interpreted his mannerisms when it came to the witch. i hope this may clear some things up!
#but also : nev is pretty chaste and sweet 2 herm#bc in a way he puts her on a pedestal and all he wants is to comfort her. please her. ease her. etc#like he loves her so much that that's all he wants to do#but if he WERE romantically interested in her... then herm would probs realise nev... have his rough edges#like i'll talk abt THAT another day#but yes. he's sorta lowkey glorifying her which meant#he does hide SOME aspects of himself as to... i suppose. not taint the perception he believes she has of him#on the contrary - in that aspect; he might've been more honest with luna and ginny about#like how he curses easily when he drinks. and yeah. around gin he likes drinking#he..... does search for sex to cope....... but again. i'll talk abt THIS another day#he can be a BIG shameless flirt#he's grown a lot confident after the war - but with herm he tames a lot of that personality down#he puts that away rather; he wants to prioritise herm.#and i wonder why..#perhaps due to how long they'd gotten separated during the war ? or maybe he just didnt want to disappoint her for some reason ?#hmm.... curious. curiouser.#neville.#neville; information.

miss dior absolutely blooming reformulation?
#would be more interesting if I could remember which is which.#I remember liking one of them but I don't know whether it was absolutely or bouquet#but it might've been absolutely since they list the peaches?#in the old version that is. the new one apparently doesn't have that.#so. that's very unfortunate.

Just watched Chainsaw Man, it was pretty good. Feels very Written By Men but 🤷🏻♀️🙄
I liked how efficient the characterization was! Like within one or two scenes of knowing a character, you'd have a pretty good grasp on what their deal was. The whole "we kill devils except for when we use their powers ourselves except for when we just straight up become them" thing is definitely intriguing! Obviously lots of room to explore there. I have questions about them representing different fears/scary things, mainly about what happens when they get killed?
It was funny how Hayakawa was like, "🙄OBVIOUSLY we kill every fiend, they're just the same as other devils, they're not like people at all, are you stupid?" only for there to be like five fiends on his personal team. And, "we don't talk to or make friends w devils, we ONLY violently murder them," only for everyone he knows, including himself, to have active business deals with them. Like, I get that we're doing the whole irony thing, here, but it just seems like that worldview would be a little difficult to maintain. Also the fact that he got mad at Denji for killing the guy TOO efficiently?? Again, I get that we are establishing the character and the world, but it was a little baffling imo. But I guess he also did jump Denji in an alley following their very first conversation for literally no reason.
(I tried really hard not to find it off-putting that Denji was groomed/sexually harassed/assaulted by almost every woman he worked with, because I'm pretty sure that wasn't the context intended by the story 😬)
Anyway, I get the "morally dubious gov agency that uses people, including children, like pawns as a means to their greater good-motivated ends" thing they're doing. I can dig it.
It was a little wild in the season finale when they were like "okay Division 4 is going to go in the building now", showed the four characters we've become acquainted with entering the building, and then were like, "okay here are the members of the Division", and started introducing four completely different characters. Like, okay, yeah, surprise reveal or whatever, but at least a hint that there was even something to reveal would've been nice? (I remember the comment at the dinner party, but that didn't register at all) I guess I also just don't get what is even narratively gained from that surprise. Like, "there are several other members of this group, who we haven't met yet", doesn't seem like that weighty of a reveal, or to big of a hint to drop. Maybe I just didn't follow something, though. I'm not great with fast-paced stuff even when it's in my native language, so 🤷🏻♀️😅
Normally stories like this bother me by throwing around trauma, violence, and murder so lightly, but I feel like this one does a really good job of being like, "these people are Fucked Up, their world does not look like ours and they do not function the way we do." And, like, everything annoying or frustrating about the story or characters is justified. That redhead is on a different level though lol.
I liked Power just as much as I thought I would! 😊 The duo she and Denji have become by the end of the season is really sweet. I was excepting to see Pochita much more than I actually did. Visually, I find a lot of the animation really cool, including the ending sequences. It feels like the artists really like the color orange/amber, which, as an Orange Appreciator, I can appreciate. I think the "suits with sneakers" look that everyone has going on is pretty cute, though it does get a little boring.
Honestly, I think my favorite arc was the hotel level 8 one? idk why but it was very interesting, and gratifying to see Denji get such a definitive win.
#chainsaw man#chainsaw man spoilers#obvs I haven't read the manga so pls no big spoilers if you respond to this 💕#by elise#i did kind of think Power's hair might've been pink- which I do think would be cooler!!!#(combination of seeing art w weird lighting and getting her confused with makima lol)#i just have a personal anti-blondness agenda lol#hmm maybe I'll do art of her w different hair colors#(probably not bc I never make art but it's interesting to think about)#i feel like every time i do one of these reviews/debriefs it's like completely incomprehensible but that's fine

While failure rates are lower in sub-i7/i9 SKUs, they are not entirely absent. Some Core i5 SKUs *are* affected. Specifically, anything with the K suffix. If your CPU's name starts in a 13 or 14 and ends in a K, and you've been having stability issues lately (random crashes and whatnot), you're eligible for a warranty claim. Regardless of whether that happens though, your warranty *is* extended by two years, and this applies to both proccessor-in-box (PIB) products, which can be warrantied directly from Intel, and to tray processors found in prebuilt PCs, which can be warrantied directly from the manufacturer of your prebuilt PC.
Also, Intel has not yet released the patch to fix this. They're currently validating it internally (i.e ensuring it won't fuck everything up even worse) and will be releasing it to motherboard manufacturers shortly, who should be integrating it into a new BIOS update. The patch is slated for release to manufacturers by mid-August, so we can likely expect BIOS updates a week or two after that, start of September at the latest.
Do you know if the thing about Intel 13 and 14th gen CPUs dying is true?
Yeah there's a major flaw in some very high-end 13th and 14th gen processors. If you just got an off-the shelf computer (not a gaming computer, not a high end workstation) you're probably fine. If you got a high-end processor but are not having issues with this, Intel has released a patch. If you ARE having problems, Intel extended the warranty of those processors and you should replace the processor.
It is a big deal, however it is a big deal that impacts a small but disproportionately loud subset of computer users, so if your computer cost less than a thousand dollars basically you're cool, this isn't going to be an issue for you.
#sorry for latching on to this post I just wanna share reliable information that helps people#and the original ask response while largely correct was also somewhat nonspecific#that said very much a pot and kettle situation#since I also failed to mention some important things like how some T SKUs have also failed#(though that might've been due to the oxidation?)#and how there have been failures even in W680 motherboards#which is a server platform that really shouldn't have allowed the CPU to pull those weirdly high voltages that caused degradation#I also failed to mention that high voltages were the cause of the issues but like I had to make the cutoff somewhere for what I said#also big shoutout to Wendell from Level1Techs#for his Turbostat.c patch which exposes CPU voltages#if you're interested in getting into the weeds of Raptor Lake boosting behaviours#you can check out his Turbostat.c patch#and also just check out Turbostat in general it comes bundled with the Linux Kernel and it's an eye-watering amount of low level info#(and also maybe some other things watering but this isn't a hornypost)

I think more fics should include lil bits of southern accent coming from characters from the south.
Will, Leo, Hazel and Annabeth all start talking to eachother and suddenly you're hearing four different southern accents coming out
I mean already talked about the big three boys and them all having a partner from the south. But add Frank in there who's not even from the US and they all just starring like :0
Will and Leo with different Texas accents,Leo's probably with the added hispanic accent mixed in
Annabeth' Virginia accent hardly noticed cause she left there when she was pretty young, only to come out with certain words
Hazel's having a New Orleans accent is *slept* on y'all.
Which, also means on the Argo II anytime they were discussing and accents might've go thicker as they spoke faster you had the other four just starring like "mhm-yep-"
But like you also had a new yorker and a Canadian there as well as a guy that was raised by wolves so- accents must've been interesting on that ship XD
(Also-southern Lee Fletcher hc, mainly cause I'm shocked none of the children of Apollo we have a birth place for so far are from around Nashville. Come on, it's literally Music City. )
#mine#pain rambles#accents#southern accent#southern will solace#will solace#leo valdez#annabeth chase#hazel levesque#percy jackson#frank zhang#Jason grace#the 7#argo 2 crew#argo ii#percy jackson and the olympians#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo hcs#southern Hazel#lee fletcher

You mentioned that Mary, during her reign, did not consider her father's later marriages valid. Could it be because they were not under the Catholic faith? At least that's what I understood, correct me if I'm wrong
More specifically, none of these marriages (save his to Anne Boleyn's, ironically enough...although that was a conditional papal dispensation to be used in the specific circumstances of either the annulment of his first marriage granted by the papacy, or, by implication, the death of Catherine of Aragon) had the required papal dispensations (HVIII was related in some degree to all of them, specifically through Edward I at the least). HVIII and COA had the papal dispensation that was upheld explicitly by a later Pope and implicitly by the rest, Mary I and Philip II had the needed papal dispensation to wed.
#elizabeth argued she was in good faith as it went with the anglican church but part of her argument -- and this is more assumption#or reading between the lines ; is that with some smudging elizabeth could *actually be considered in good faith by the papacy as well#insofar as cranmer was granted the archbishphoric by the pope and used that authority to annull the first marriage and vindicate the second#of course he also annulled the second. so. it's problematic . but...#anon#1536 counterfactuals are interesting bcus it does seem with anne it was ... personal . she might've known the emperor's negotiations were#that he'd recognise anne as queen in exchange for mary being recognised as heir. or it might've been#more a matter of her not recognising the marriage insofar as she didn't believe#it could be de facto legitimate because their marriage had taken place two years prior while her mother was#definitely very much alive....#*also at least one papal agent in 1533 said the 'good faith' of the mother was sufficient#altho he claimed that only in the case of a son (lol?) would that be sufficient to make the child bona fides BUT he did believe AB#had this which is...interesting#mind you im not saying elizabeth knew this just that. yeah you can argue that it was 'convenient' for her to believe and espouse that#but just that it's not even exactly like her saying that was without precedent
