#... when I get a minute

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

Not to preach to the choir but I wonder if people generally realize that AI models like ChatGPT aren't, like, sifting through documented information when you ask it particular questions. If you ask it a question, it's not sifting through relevant documentation to find your answer, it is using an intensely inefficient method of guesswork that has just gone through so many repeated cycles that it usually, sometimes, can say the right thing when prompted. It is effectively a program that simulates monkeys on a typewriter at a mass scale until it finds sets of words that the user says "yes, that's right" to enough times. I feel like if it was explained in this less flattering way to investors it wouldn't be nearly as funded as it is lmao. It is objectively an extremely impressive technology given what it has managed to accomplish with such a roundabout and brain-dead method of getting there, but it's also a roundabout, brain-dead method of getting there. It is inefficient, pure and simple.

Danny commits to the Bit a bit too hard...

So! For the first few weeks after his accident, whenever Danny would try to help the people of Amity Park, he would be treated as a Villain.

No matter if he had just defeated the Big Bad of the Week or saved a Cat from a tree, everybody in town only saw him as a Monster or Villain to he feared and hunted down. Danny was really getting sick of trying to get them on his side, until Sam made a suggestion.

"Why not just...play into it?" She said, barely looking up from painting her nails.

It was just an offhand suggestion, but it stuck with Danny. Why shouldn't he lean into it? The people of Amity Park already saw Ghosts as Evil, and they already assumed he was in cahoots with the Ghosts attacking the town. Why shouldn't he just...play into it?

So he does just that.

From that day on, whenever Phantom was spotted he would dramatically monologue about his Evil Plans, or claim that another Rogues attack on the City was his own act of terror.

Box Ghost destroys the towns Warehouses? It was on his orders.

Ember mind controls masses of Teenagers? All part of his Plans somehow.

Every Adult in Town is kidnapped by Young Blood? Danny gave them over to a friend as a Gift.

He crafts an identity for himself as the most Vile and Horrible Ghost that has ever attacked the City, using his own infamy to cement his legend even more firmly. The town only sees a Monsterous Villain, who has eveded capture near effortlessly for months on end, who constantly attacks their City and gets away with it.

Of course he still needs an excuse for how his plans keep getting stopped, and he gets it when his girlfriend Valerie becomes the Red Huntress. Before that, he just claimed infighting or the Fentons getting lucky, but Valerie becoming the Town's Hero meant he had a plausible excuse for how he kept getting "Foiled".

Val was suspicious, because she was not as involved as Phantom painted her to be, but in the end she had no proof of him faking his defeats. And she couldn't come up with any explanations for why he would do that in the first place. I mean, who would fake being a Supervillain? It had to he something else.

This did come back to bite him a while later, when the Justice League decided that enough was enough, and dispatched Justice League Dark to recruit Red Huntress and help Deal with him.

Coincidentally, that was the same day Pariah Dark attacked the Mortal Realm and sucked Amity Park into the Ghost Zone.

And honestly? Danny had spent over a Year proclaiming himself as a Villain who commanded Ghosts to attack the Human Realm, and he had heard about the Right of Conquest being Absolute in the Ghost Zone, so why not make it official? Why not overthrow the Ghost King, become the Ghost King, and cement his identity as a Villain while also forbidding Ghosts from entering the Human Realm without his permission?

He may have gotten a bit carried away and forgotten that the Villain thing was a disguise...but hey! He was still preventing Ghost Attacks! ...mostly. That's got to count for something right?

He may have let the Bit run a bit too far...

(switcherooau) your new everything :)

im retreating into my cave to work on some big ol oc projects now—have this while I’m gonee

[occudo]

@jonmartinweek day 1, Pets & Cats / Feelings Realized

I wanted to make something cute for this promt, but I thougth I drawn enough cats with them already :'D So yeah, Feelings Realized got me thinking- when did Jon realised? And I think he did in the hospital, when he just assumed Martin will be his side, and when he wasn't , he had to face it why this hurt him so much…

Or something like that.

Here's the comic I made for War Never Changes, a Fallout charity zine that's still available to puchase digitally here: link.

The captions are lyrics from Autopsy Garland by the Mountain Goats. I've been dreaming of making this for literal Years, and the mods for the zine let me do it for them! I'm still pretty proud of it, and only regret that I completely forgot to replace Col. Hsu with General Lee Oliver in the final. Sorry man.

hes a handsome butch to me

the moment im able, Danny and Bruce are going to be annoying each other On Purpose SO much in WTNS. I have an arsenal of non-bat related nicknames for Bruce on standby (that is steadily collecting more as i come across them) and ready for my disposal

Danny: Batman. Batman. Bruce: oh we’re going full name now. Danny: Batman. Bruce: hm. Danny: lean down for me Bruce, doing just that indulgently: hm? Danny, grabbing him by the shirt collar: dont start throwing stones in glass houses, batboy [Bruce was teasing him about wearing flannels]

+

Danny: mind you, i have unmitigated access to your closet Bruce: ah. i see. of course

+

Danny: sir, you are dressed as a bat, choose your next words carefully Bruce: 🤨 Danny: trust me i have nothing but respect for your commitment to the bit, but Danny: you are still dressed as a bat Danny: and i am not above taking potshots

+

Danny makes a point to thwap Bruce on the ankles with his cane when he's being annoying/a dumbass/because it's funny. Sometimes it lands, sometimes Bruce hops out of the way before that. Bruce hopping away leads to Danny continuing to try and thwap him until he succeeds

Playfighting is also a thing. And by playfighting i mean Danny is trying to bop Bruce, and Bruce is blocking him via batting his hands away. Danny will not stop until he's successfully poked Bruce in the ribs

+

bruce:…what are you doing danny, faux-punching bruce in the side. and by that i mean he is poking him the side/arm with his fists and quietly making "pow-pow-pow" noises. it doesnt even do any damage he's pr much just tapping him: danny, still faux-hitting him: bothering you danny, pausing: is it working bruce, trying not to smile:…no danny: damn danny: [goes back to faux-hitting him]

+

Danny: [playfully putting his hands up defensively] Bruce: thats not how you do that Danny: you think im going for accuracy? [one-sided slap fight ensues]

[paper-mario-wiki]

I understand wanting to make sure people are represented, but why do you keep bringing up POC trans issues?

because you crackers keep evidently forgetting the basics, including "listening to when the black girls talk about it".

find another role, carry on the show

[sirazaroff]

@wickedisback commissioned me for some cuddly modern gelphie, and how could I resist such a call? :D

Thank you so much for the work! This was fun, was a nice callback to very old art of mine.

TITLE: I JUST GOT THE BAD ENDING!!! AND I DECODED SOME OF THE TEXT THAT APPEARED!!

Tried to decode this binary text that appeared in day 4

It was hard to read some of the text since it was glitching but this is what I got:

Erro 01101000 01101001 01101000 01101001 or 00100000 critical 01100001 ero 01101110 oror 01100111 e:/rror 01100101 01101100 unkno

The numbers only would be like this: (it's in binary)

01101000 01101001 01101000 01101001 00100000 01100001 01101110 01100111 01100101 01101100

Literally just translates to "hi hi angel" or "hihi angel"

Erro H I H I or (SPACE ?) critical A ero N oror G e:/rror E L unknown (?)

I thought I'm gonna get some useful lore and information in here game theory makes me overthink 🤑😭😭

Plz give me more stuff to solve I love puzzles like this..

Edit:

I just got here and I got hit with another line of binary, time to work this bitch's education

"ERROR I SEE YOU..."

BRUH DID I JUST FREAKING DIE JWHRBWNBFJNWNFND

Omg when do attempts of staying the night with him he chats to me and it's kinda hot like he is attracted to the actual player and not the person in the game, it's so cool.

My head hurts, what the hell is this?

I can't go any further than this .. and my title screen is all messed up now..

I'll be making a second post because this is too long, I'll be decodint whatever the heck this is if I can.. please help me y'all...

Sorry this is literally my first post and it's so messy..
