Went to apply for a job, midway through I learned that the person hiring is someone I respect very, very much in my field (who I have never spoken to), then saw the application site was closed (How Did I Miss the Deadline for this Really Cool Job!!!!) and then saw that it was the website's fault and that they were taking applications through LinkedIn DM's. So I did the premium trial & sent my reel in, and they told me they're sending it to recruitment/leads and that it's a good reel!!!! And then the person I have respected for years sent me a friend request!

I'm beside myself!!

Has anyone written the meta or fic where the World Government mass produces Law-clone seraphim to provide however many immortality surgeries they want? Because they could technically do that, right?

This might be my way of saying I hate that devil fruits can be cloned because there's a real weight behind the concept of unique powers in One Piece that I really love, and Vegapunk being able to duplicate them kinda threw a key element of the world building magic into the garbage for me personally.

It might also be my way of saying that an entire army of mini-angel-Laws revolting to the destroy the government together would be fun.

Listen, I'm just gonna offer the best gpose tip anyone has ever told me...

If the clipping is happening out of view

Then clipping doesn't exist.

This is the same for crunchy limbs, crunchy elbows, weirdly posed cloth, etc.

Clipping happens. Clipping in gpose is an unavoidable thing. The sooner you accept clipping happens, the happier you will be trying to gpose.

Yes I know it's not easy to accept. Esp if you're very hard-wired to correct any errors, or if you're a perfectionist (like me).

But I promise you, eventually you just stop caring about it.

And if you point it out, or any flaws on someone's gpose when you were not explicitly asked for constructive critique, on someone's gpose I hope both sides of your pillow are warm and that you stub your toe on something different every time you get up so you can never avoid it.

Svetlana Germanovna Bolsheschapova, the headmistress of school №19, where Artyom and Nikita studied: "Artyom's mother taught her son to hate people, taught him that there were enemies all around." Imagine that the teacher puts a 2 (the lowest grade, the highest is a 5) in the student's diary, but not in the class journal, so that the boy has the opportunity to correct the grade. A familiar practice? And Artyom's mother immediately wrote a statement: "Psychological pressure is being exerted on the son." And this is not an isolated case! The harassment of teachers was systematic! If they put a 2 in the journal and didn't put it in the diary — a statement: the parent's right to be informed was violated. If a 3 — a statement: why not a 4… When Anoufriev was in the 9th grade, it was only because of the conflict with his mother that the physics teacher refused to teach Artyom's class: the school had to change the teacher. Valentina Ivanovna Chukanova, Artyom's homeroom teacher (she also was a teacher of Russian language and literature) said: "He was raised only by his mother. Well, at least a father was never in the picture. Just by mother. And he was brought up, you know, in hatred for everyone around. The boy was always bright, he had great aptitude for languages. Mother didn't love... to put it mildly, she hated all the people around." The headmistress and the teachers cautiously but quite certainly say: "Apparently, mom has something wrong with her psyche…"

Nina Anoufrieva, Artyom's mother. The boy Artyom grew up to match his mother: sneaky, secretive, cunning. One day he didn't bring money for security. The homeroom teacher called mom. Anoufrieva snapped, "How did my son not bring in the money? He did!" "And to whom?" the homeroom teacher was taken aback. "And he gave it to you! Personally!" The teacher had to pay for Anoufriev from her salary. The teachers accepted test papers in Artyom's class as follows: for the whole class as usual, and for Anoufriev — against receipt…

Personal headcanon about the "you picked the wrong dellamorte" line, I don't think illario actually likes rook outside the context of them being someone close to lucanis. Like rook on their own isn't much to him, but when they meet it's yet another person talking about his cousin (why isn't he good enough for whatever job they're hiring for?) and on top of that they somehow bring him back from the dead (another whole can of worms for illario). Now he starts turning on the charm, but whether he's actually interested or this is just one more thing his cousin has that he doesn't and it gets under his skin, who knows. Either way, rook ignores illario, the guy who lives off his charm, and is instead interested in the guy who's never even dated before and thinks giving someone a knife is how to flirt. Infuriating

NO THANK YOU !! i am genuinely sorry if i have ever implied illario is into rook like i see some takes about it and unless it like ties into your rook's personal backstory i don't seriously think he's romantically jealous. at all. my enjoyment of that line stems from illario's pathological need to make it about himself and not see his strengths but what lucanis has, and therefore what he doesn't. he's annoyed enough to try and goad you in the middle of a fight about the 'wrong' dellamorte and completely blind to the fact that the venatori are at best, a stupid fucking alliance, and at worst, a cult that will devour the crows from the inside out and illario would have been the one to give them the keys. he sees lucanis make allies, needs his own, and instead of charming the other talons/houses as he should, he (probably spitefully) picks the venatori. or maybe he just thought it would be easier. ugh he makes me want to telekenetically throw him around

I'm well aware that the entire pop cultural memory and image, insofar as it even exists, of Teddy Ruxpin is either "creepy toy in the style of Chucky" or "joke about ridiculous reboots of soulless 80's nostalgia properties" but every few years I'm reminded of how ridiculously wonderful the art in the original books is/was and how weird and interesting the worldbuilding was and I want to go find and scan all of the stuff that's probably in my mom's basement

It's just such a consistently expressive and lovely style of illustration in a really well-realized fantasy world-- like, there absolutely should be a big stupid coffee table art book of everything involved in the creation of this property. In a better world illustrator David High would be a household name and we'd think about Ken Forsse as a Henson-like figure rather than like. A guy who got bankrupted by the laser tag company. I am not convinced that the only reason we don't is because of all the teeth-achingly stupid business decisions made by World Of Wonders (including like. buying out dissident stockholders for millions of dollars and uhhhh not delivering already purchased products to retail stores) followed immediately by the '87 stuck market crash.

Like! Look how ridiculously charming all this is!!! How is this not remembered as a beloved children's fantasy properties!

At first watch, I was a little perplexed that Lochlan seems so calm after his confrontation with Saxon, with how it ended on a less than positive note. The next time we see him, he's casually and happily reading his tsunami book when Tim asks him about being poor. There's no indication that he's been brooding or stewing in all that. At dinner he's quite perky and excited to try a piña colada. But shouldn't he be at least a little torn up about Saxon reaffirming his rejection earlier?

Then I realized, others have noted how emotionally resilient Lochlan is (he'd have to be to avoid completely spiraling every time one of his siblings gets mad at him, which I'd be willing to bet has happened before), Saxon and Piper are the emotionally unstable ones, not Lochlan. Despite that though, I don't think Lochlan even thinks he took an L here?

In his mind, he did nothing wrong. He's already processed the moral injury of committing an incestuous act with Saxon (possibly at the temple, at the very least before he has his conversation with Saxon). He blames Saxon in his mind, and even though Saxon said "let's just drop this forever please," as I've said before, Saxon was unable to refute Lochlan's argument. So why would Lochlan be beating himself up? He said what was on his mind, Saxon didn't care like always, and things didn't totally implode. That's a win all things considered.

Saxon didn't actually reject Lochlan either. Sure, Saxon didn't want to hang out with him right that second, but Lochlan addresses that with "are you mad, or something?" and Saxon never says he's mad, just that he doesn't approve of being worshipped in that way. Saxon doesn't want to make Lochlan protein shakes anymore, but he gave him permission to make them himself. Saxon still "allows" Lochlan to worship him, just with tighter parameters than before. But to be clear, Saxon is fine with, enjoys, and wants the "appropriate" amount/form of worship. He's not disowning Lochlan at all, just writing new rules for their relationship.

And if there's anything Lochlan is good at, it's doing what he's told. Saxon was giving him a performance review, and he agreed to just deny whatever happened between them. Whether that was for Saxon's sake or because Lochlan still genuinely thinks Saxon knows best, doesn't matter.

So no, actually, I think while Lochlan feels a little embarrassed and guilty that he did something Saxon didn't approve of (as we can see by his nervous glance at Saxon during the Toast), he probably on the whole feels pretty content with where their relationship is currently.

Saxon gave him new instructions, which in a way is tacit forgiveness. If Lochlan doesn't worship Saxon and makes himself a man from now on, things will continue as "normal." Plus with the whole "out of sight out of mind," emotional resilience, and with Lochlan being a people pleaser he's going to prioritize whatever his dad wants from him during their conversation, literally sidelining Saxon because there's a new opportunity to be programmed by someone else in his family.

(Aside: then it made sense to me even more: Lochlan is more upset about being left out of the toast than he is about his conversation with Saxon. Why? Tim never explains why Lochlan is being "rejected." Because Saxon ended on "you know what let's just agree to disagree and never speak of this again," Lochlan can exit that confrontation with a little more clarity. He knows where Saxon stands, he has new guidelines for keeping Saxon's love and attention and approval that he can follow. He doesn't know why Tim won't let him drink alcohol during a family toast. He doesn't know what he did "wrong" or how to fix it)

I think it's only after he dies drinking the protein shake (that according to Sam, Lochlan thinks are Saxon's leftovers, possibly deliberately left there by Saxon as some kind of peace offering) that things finally start to click for Lochlan, that emulating Saxon in any way is a bad idea and is only going to keep hurting him.

You doing ok?

hi

[catpriciousmarjara]

Woke up today to some wild jjk leaks and it turns out Gege is hitting that Hamlet type beat with some uncle-nephew drama with Sukuna and Yuuji? Like what?

By the gods Kenjaku really be messing with that family tree. And this still doesn't explain why Itadori Wasuke looks so much like Sukuna? Like with Jin and Yuuji it makes sense now...but what about grandpadori? Something must've been up with that family even before the Kenjaku and his shenanigans.

It truly is our Jujutsu Kaisen! Amen.
