#Algorithms nt

[olderthannetfic]

I blame social media for ethestic-sising mental health disorders, conditions, illnesses and what have you.

Yeah it's fucking great to be visible and be normalized. But people veered right off from normalizing and visibility to "esthetic goals" and fetishizing. This include internalized fetishism and neuroableism.

Suddenly it's not about living a healthy life, and showing people we exist. Suddenly it's all about what flavor ND of the day you are, and treating being ND and the symptoms like more of a fashion statement, and an esthetic than an inevitable part of being a human being who's ND. Which of course, through making it a fashion trendy thing, all the bad things have to be hidden, and only the marketable and wholesome behaviors gets greenlit, gotta thank the algorithm for that as well as ignorant people. With a big preference being any behavior that benefits others.

The fetishizing, and internalized neuroableism also fucks me up because it goes from being about actual ND people showing our real day to day lives, good and bad, as being just as acceptable as those of NTs, and instead becomes something people try to copy because it looks "fun".

I know fake claiming is really fucking frowned on, but what else should it be called when all of the sudden an ND condition goes trending on social media, and suddenly everyone and their dog has a cool and trendy version of it. Hey this condition is super rare, and some experts aren't even sure it exists in the way we talk about it today? A few months later the next thing comes along, and the very people claiming an ND disorder move on to the next thing.

DW, pre-teen-teen Bethica and Jacques who have shown no signs of any of the conditions and symptoms needed to be diagnosed have now become experts on this topic. Fuck mental health experts, Bethica and Jacques's tiktok history and skimreading wikipedia is much more valid than 10+ years of research in the mental health field. These kids will now educate you about this while doing fancy tiktok dances, and making a complete mockery of the actual condition. Btw, if it just so happens that they have a gofundme or Ko-fi link to pay, ignore that it comes across like the scam that it is, trust me bro, these are 100% the real experts, they're definitely not saying exactly what people wanna hear who wanna pretend to be cool and fashionable by having #ND condition of the month.

You know, one thing about getting older, at least for me, is the realization that keeping up that whimsical spirit is hard. Very hard.

I have spent the past four years trying to maintain routines in regards to self-care and, while it worked out well for a period of time, the "noise" out there is very persistent to break your habits. By "noise", I don't just mean the world out there, the constant stream of social media providing you with news and tragedies, a ruthless algorithm that is very hard to avoid if you're seeking that little serotonin streak out there. Yes, I agree that our attention spans have been pretty much messed up and that it's VERY difficult to get back to some... Quiet.

That's why the noise basically refers to everything - your social life, family, friends, partners, acquaintances, colleagues, all the people out there, but also the things you surround yourself with. Habits, food choices and sleeping rhythms, once again, the media you consume while trying not get consumed by it...

I keep going on about how I had re-started drawing back in 2021 after a rough 10-year-break in which I simply didn't feel like drawing at all. I was occupied with other things during time - and if you're familiar with my tumblr, you know that that's been heavily related to football. I loved my clubs, I loved by NT and for the longest time, I could get by despite the set-backs and bad developments surrounding it. Right now I am staring at my PC and am slowly but steadily realizing that basically all the players that led me towards football have retired. Either just from the NT or completely. There are players, relatable figures, people I (used to) look up to, that inspired me, that brought be through the day, week, month, year. It was a fun time. But then the "noise" took over. The people I rambled with ended up just as frustrated and left. Only a few of them are left, but the majority - me included - has moved on to other things. Why? Because it had become too draining, too negative. The bubble had popped, several figures in the business had turned out to be unbelievably "bad people" (I'll keep this PG), things were so commercialized, unfamiliar and just... Opportunistic. The "whimsical spirit" was so hard to maintain and even if this Summer provided a little spark, it still feels alienating. There is still a glimpse of hope, but, again, you REALLY have to hold onto that.

The same goes for my other "fandoms" to be honest. Don't get me wrong, I still have fun sitting in my little corner and draw, write and create little things - even if it's mostly for myself, sometimes I do wonder why interactions have become so scarce. The atmosphere on social media is incredibly... Empty sometimes. I'm not just saying that because a lot of people have not grasped the reblogging system on this site. You may have heard the concept of people being overexposed by the neverending stream of art, "content" being thrown at them from all sides... It's become more of a product to consume than a thing to look at and enjoy and savour. And I feel that myself. I used to save fanart to my phone and computer and find myself looking at it countless times. I still do that with several art pieces, but... I assume it's because the brain has become somewhat tired that we cannot appreciate it like we used to.

Everything is just... Happening too fast and I feel like I need to have a detox every now and then. My brain still craves the serotonin of seeing new, beautiful art. But to get there, I have to get through a sea of things that get me anxious. Even with filters, even with blocking things I don't wanna see... It's not the same.

The same also applies to media in general - I'm currently in a fandom of a series that's kinda "walking on air". There is the possibility of a new animation being planned out there somewhere, somewhen, maybe... But a part of me isn't even sure if I want something "new". Consider myself "old" when I say this, but a lot of things that come out these days, sequels, reboots, remakes of things I used to enjoy as a kid... Simply don't hit the same way anymore. There's a reason why I find myself rewatching the old stuff over and over again and often have quite a mixed relationship with more recent things. EVA is one of the few franchises that, in my opinion, managed to get to a satisfying ending after ALL these years, but I am TERRIFIED for the new Madoka movie. I haven't even dared to look at Sailor Moon Cosmos, simply because I know my brain is tainted by how much enjoyed the 90s anime and how much of a clusterf*ck Crystal/Eternal/Cosmos has been for the past ten years... On the same note, do we really need a One Piece remake? And Digimon? I would loathe the idea of an Adventure remake... Because it would not only contradict the messages of the previous entries of the series; move on but keep the things you love close to you... It would simply not... Satisfy me. A part of me wants to see how the OG timeline goes on, but what if there'll be things to contradict it all even more? Do I want things to go on for the sake of keeping the nostalgia alive, even though the fear of mischaracterizations is very real? Do I really want the milking of the cash-cow to continue? To hunt for breadcrumbs? The commercialisation and... Opportunism? And why does it feel like I've heard that before...?

I don't want to end this post on a negative note. I'm gonna turn 34 in a few weeks, I've been into TV shows and had my hyperfocus topics basically since I was like 7 or so. I might always find things that keep the whimsical spirit alive to some degree. But I need to remind myself to not let the "noise" get too loud every once in a while.

After almost four years of this circus with a fake paternity as the cherry of the cake and me questioning the reasons for all of that, with Henry using his c*nt to tease and mock his fans disrespectfully, while putting them against each other and motivating hate on the internet with his fake fan pages fed by his team, I conclude this guy must be a dude with serious emotional issues, who used fake and staged stuff like fake IG pages and fake followers to keep the fake image and his algorithms.

He became a big fat joke in Hollywood and also, among his fans. Now, everything about this man is clearly fake and his posts on his IG are pure MKT, only. That guy who made videos to fans is gone. So, he lost his connection with them. And that's how it's going to continue being. He will continue pretending to be: the self-confident womanizer, Henry, The Great, the Goddish gentleman and also, pretending he is the child's father of his promiscuous and redneck sl*t, when he's actually an immature and insecure man.

Allowing the truth to come out is unbearable to him, for he can't stand realizing he's not the man he portrays. So, they will continue trying to sell a humanizing image of the promiscuous with this fake child conception, thinking that it will melt your heart, move you to sympathize with her figure and erase her promiscuous past. But, the more they try, the more she becomes despised and he becomes boycotted as a dude.

This PR stunt was the worst and the most unnecessary professional mistake he had ever made in his entire life. It could have had the initial and silly intention to promote his manhood. But, a real man has nothing to prove. And, because of how this woman's reputation screwed with everything, showing how hypocritical he is, an urgent damage control was necessary. But, the strategies adopted had to be a great circus to disguise the mistake, cause of this giant circus.

So, as to avoid making a fool of themselves admitting he was fooled and that she is actually, a promiscuous, instead of ending the contract or at least, avoiding to continue turning this joke public (as they are doing now, with their tails in-between their legs), they decided to play strategies ignoring and diminishing what was revealed (her real rep and his hypocrisy) and his fans criticism as if it was all a fan misunderstanding.

They, then, disrespected fans, minimized and made fun of the consequences of this shenanigan for being embarrassed, expecting to generate doubts and make people think the rumours about her were fake, while trying to sugarcoat it. But, all they did was put more fuel to the fire and expose themselves for what they really are:

a) Him:

- A famous hypocrite actor, who plays the Hollywood escort (Prost****e) in his free time to promote his manhood as an exercise to hide his insecurities,

- A celeb with no self-respect nor respect for his fandom, who uses a fake paternity as a cheap promotion of his acting skills,

- An immature who hid behind an unknown promiscuous redneck.

b) The redneck:

- An unknown bully, who got into this for cheap fame,

- Who tried to hide and deny her real promiscuous reputation with a fake pregnancy,

- A woman with no self respect, who accepted being thrown under the bus and exposed to public execration on a platter,

- Used as a diversion so as to save her fake man's ass.

Henry Cavill was the only responsible for his misery and for his image destruction. On the first opportunity he had to prove he was really thankful to his fans' admiration and love by showing he understood their perplexity, he goes against them for not standing criticism, because of his arrogance.

No one believes the Goddish Prince image he has been trying to push, anymore. And even less, the fake image of the VIP Godsent girlfriend they tried to sell. The mask fell from his face and from hers, it never fit. And now, the presence he used to exhaling no longer remains nor convinces. Today, when I look at him, I just see a poor, weak and pitiful gentleman who was a victim of his own vanity, with a lot of emotional issues, full of insecurities and desperately trying to present a persona he's not.

**Random fandom related rant incoming regarding ROT//TM//NT, don't like don't read**

Okay so, if any of you have followed me for a while, you know that I was in the Rot//TM//NT fandom for like three years before eventually leaving for the most part, save for occasionally peeking in on things (and taking part in the second Fashion zine, which is still in-progress if anyone's wondering).

When I left the fandom, my major point for WHY I left was that I felt like the fandom was becoming way too angst and gore heavy, being way too obsessed with post-movie stuff regarding the Kraang, the apocalyptic future, characters getting brainwashed/mutilated/going through ptsd/disturbing scenarios in general, etc.

This is still my main reason for why I'm still (and probably will always, regardless of how often I end up revisiting the show in the future) keeping my distance from the fandom. However, my other main reason is just the sheer fact that the fandom has a favoritism problem when it comes to the turtles - specifically the fact that Raph is essentially pushed to the sidelines in fandom works I'd say 85-90% of the time.

Just a reminder that I do not - and have not - check the tag every day so maybe my view on things is skewed, but of the ROT//TM//NT stuff that still makes its way into my Tumblr view space or YouTube algorithm, this is definitely how things seem to be.

In general, when it comes to art and fics and edits and all that, pretty much 8 times out of 10 it's going to be focused on either Leonardo, Donatello or both. Without a doubt, when it comes to fan creations involving the turtles, these two get the most solo-pieces. Like- at this point it's not even close. It cannot be denied that they are the fan favorites.

Mikey is next in line, because he's the funny and cute and chaotic youngest sibling, and then Raph is dead-last, getting the least amount of solo-pieces. Hell, half the time when I see Raph included in an art piece/fic/edit, it's only because it's centered around ALL the turtles, making him seem like an after thought. (and even then I've seen plenty of stuff where the artists/writers/editors focus solely on 'the twins' and Mikey, and then either don't include Raph at all or give him very little focus)

What's more, adding onto my frustration at just how angst-focused the fandom was when I left (and, from what I can tell based on my brief pop-ins, still seems to be) is that whenever you DO manage to find a Raph-focused fandom thing, it's him in these angsty or depressing scenarios/AUs, or he's crying over one of his brothers, or he's being the one giving comfort to his brothers.

Because that seems to be all the fandom sees him as! He's the protector, the Big Bro/Mom of the group, the one who dies first in the bad future, the one who we can project bad childhoods onto - though that's not to say that the others don't get projected onto either, they all absolutely do.

As such, you could argue 'oh well, this is just a part of the fandom, it's not a slight against Raph specifically' except it IS because while yes, all the other Turtles get plenty of angst art/fics/edits too, they also get plenty of fun stuff - memes and silly lighthearted scenarios and works where they get to be cool and badass. And as far as I can tell, Raph - for the most part - doesn't get that. At best, he'll get the fandom making jokes about how he's the dumb one or the emotional one. I remember coming across this one Hippoworm fic where all the other turtles got to participate in their wedding and form bonds with Warren and Hypno, meanwhile Raph was the one who ended up being the 'bad guy' of sorts, crashing the wedding because he was too oblivious to catch onto what was happening. This is what I mean when Raph just gets either horribly sidelined or shoved into the roll of support whenever he's not the one getting tortured or brainwashed.

Outside of specific 'Raph is best Turtle' fans/creators (who were already pretty rare back when I was still in the fandom...), you don't see the art of Raph being cool or wearing cool outfits like you do with Leo/Don/Mikey. You don't get fics where he's the full focus and gets to go on this big adventure or have this big interesting arc (AND IT'S NOT CENTERED AROUND TRAUMA, I feel like I have to emphasize this because again this fandom is just so angst heavy). What's more, you go to AO3 to find ANY non-angst/lighthearted Raph-centered fics and it's nearly impossible because, to fans, it seems like he's always got to be attached to one or all of his brothers. It can't just be him or, hey, I'll even take him and a side character/one of the villains (excluding the Mud Dogs because come on now those are literally just his brothers again). Just SOMETHING that lets him be an individual outside of his family - something that, again, literally every other character seems to get!

Even when it comes to something as simple as headcanons - I'd say 95 percent of people view the 'Donnie is autistic' headcanon as canon. But you could argue that Raph has just as many moments that come off as him having autistic traits, but most fans seem to either ignore these bits or see them as jokes, once again seeing Raph as the dumb one whenever he's not the group's shield or responsible one.

On the one hand, I can't fully blame the fandom for this as the show itself often shoehorned Raph into constantly being in a support role for his family. Going by the number of spotlight episodes he gets, it's really just "Mrs. Cuddles", "Sparring Partner" and "Raph's Ride Along", maaaybe "Mystic Library" (even though most fans only remember that ep for the Donnie Rap, let's be real here) and "Man VS Sewer", though the latter still has quite a bit of focus on the other turtles - otherwise he's strictly used as co-protagonist at best and sidekick to one of his other brothers at worst. He does get to land the final blow in "Evil League of Mutants", and gets a bit of extra spotlight in both season finales... buuut then gets kidnapped by the Kraang in the movie (which, regardless of how much it makes sense for the story, it still sucks to see Raph get tortured and put out of commission for more than half the film, essentially being used as a catalyst for Leo's development).

So yeah, hard to build off canon when the canon gives you so little. On the other hand, I still can't help but side-eye the fandom every time Raph - a large/plus-sized and not conventionally attractive character - is either pushed aside completely or strictly used to uplift or prop up the other three skinny 'pretty boy' turtles. Slotting him in strictly as the 'parent' of the group and essentially adultifying him or, even worse, putting him through tons of pain or killing him off so that the others can go through a guilt arc isn't that much better.

Now, could a lot of my feelings towards... all this be personal biases and my own bitterness at my fave being seemingly slighted by the fandom? Sure, you could argue that if you really want to. But from what I've seen, experienced and recalled from my days within the fandom, I feel confident that the points I've ranted about are founded in evidence. The fandom has a huge favoritism problem in my opinion, and it's this plus a distain towards all the angst and torture/gore-fics that have really soured my feelings towards Rise as a whole - and that feeling hasn't gone away.

That's the main reason why I wanted to just get all my feelings out (hence why I'm not tagging this rant), not to attack anyone in particular but just for my own personal benefit. I do hope that eventually I'll be able to rewatch the show (though probably not the movie) and fully enjoy myself without being reminded of all the fandom hang ups and other small annoyances I have with Rise. But for now, gonna be honest, I don't really regret leaving the fandom.

Quantum Portfolio Optimizer: Global Data Quantum, IBM Qiskit

Portfolio optimisation for quantum computing

Global Data Quantum introduced the Quantum Portfolio Optimiser function in IBM Qiskit. Quantum computing optimises investment portfolios.

A detailed breakdown:

Quantum Portfolio Optimiser Goal

The Quantum Portfolio Optimiser optimises investment performance while reducing transaction costs and risks. Its dynamic portfolio optimisation goal is to find the optimum investment plan across many time periods to maximise projected return and minimise risks, often while considering budget, transaction costs, and risk aversion. Dynamic portfolio optimisation modifies assets based on asset performance, unlike traditional portfolio optimisation, which uses a single rebalancing time. The program targets analysts, investors, and portfolio managers. Portfolio optimisation allows backtesting trading approaches.

Quantum Portfolio Optimiser Access:

Discover the function in IBM Qiskit Functions Catalogue. This experimental functionality is only available to IBM Quantum Premium and Flex Plan users in preview release. Request a catalogue to access Global Data Quantum.

Quantum Computing—Why?

Traditional methods become slow and inefficient as resources or limits increase. Quantum computing's capacity to analyse several variables in parallel can solve complex problems faster and more efficiently than classical solvers like CPLEX, Gurobi, and Pyscf on HPC resources.

Quantum Portfolio Optimiser Functions?

The Quantum Portfolio Optimiser has four steps:

It receives financial asset values and user-specified investing conditions.

Quantum circuits convert classical input data into a quantum-resolution problem. This requires constructing the dynamic portfolio optimisation problem using Quadratic Unconstrained Binary optimisation (QUBO) and converting it into a quantum operator (Ising Hamiltonian).

The Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) algorithm is considered. The VQE was designed to determine the optimal solution-wide investment combinations. In this hybrid quantum-classical approach, the quantum circuit estimates the cost function and Differential Evolution is used for classical optimisation.

Adjusting post-processing to eliminate quantum device noise yields an optimal, trustworthy, and realistic recommendation. For optimal output, the system uses noise-aware (SQD-based) post-processing.

Formulating Problems

Portfolio optimisation uses multi-objective Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimisation (QUBO). The QUBO function optimises four goals:

Max out the return function (F).

Reduce investment risk (R) and transaction costs.

Respect investment limits. The QUBO function is defined as O = -F + (γ/2)R + C + ρP, where γ is the risk aversion coefficient and ρ is the constraints reinforcement coefficient (Lagrange multiplier The minimum qubit count for a problem is the number of assets (na), time periods (nt), and bit resolution (nq) used to describe the investment.

Input

This function requires several input parameters:

A dictionary of asset prices uses dates as supplementary keys. All assets must have consistent data for the same dates.

Qubo_settings: A dictionary that configures the QUBO problem with parameters like nq resolution qubits, dt time window each step, maximum investment per asset, risk aversion coefficient, transaction charge, and restriction coefficient.

Optimizer_settings (Optional): Sets up the standard optimisation technique, including primitive settings (sampler_shots, estimator_shots) and differentiation_evolution algorithm parameters (num_generations, population_size).

ansatz_settings (Optional): Select “optimized_real_amplitudes” or “tailored” and enable multiple pass managers, dynamical decoupling, and other options to configure the quantum circuit ansatz.

Optional: QPU backend name, such as “ibm_torino.”

previous_session_id (Optional): A list of past session IDs to continue execution or retrieve data.

Apply_postprocess (Optional): True applies noise-aware SQD post-processing.

tags: An optional text list to label the experiment.

Output

Function returns two dictionaries: “result” and “metadata”.

Result: optimal optimisation outcomes, such as the optimal investment strategy over time and the lowest target cost. Investment weights are normalised by total investment.

Metadata: Metadata describes all optimisation results. It includes counts, investment pathways, objective costs, Sharpe ratios, returns, limitation violations, samples/states, and transaction costs. The session ID, asset order, QUBO matrix, and resource consumption summary are all included. Return, Sharpe ratio, restriction deviation, and least objective cost are key metadata for the best solution.

Application Function Context Qiskit

Application functions like the Quantum Portfolio Optimiser provide a comprehensive quantum pipeline by abstracting the quantum workflow. Because quantum methods use conventional classical inputs and return domain-familiar classical outputs, they can be easily integrated into present application processes without quantum computing knowledge.

Analysis of Performance and Benchmarks

The function is verified using different resolution qubit, ansatz circuit, and asset grouping configurations. Benchmarks evaluate solutions using two metrics:

Objective cost: To evaluate optimisation, the objective cost compares the cost function value to Gurobi (free version) output.

Sharpe ratio: Measures portfolio risk-adjusted return. Benchmark data shows the quantum optimiser finds viable investment plans. For a test using IBEX35 assets (Set 3, 4 time steps, 2-bit encoding, 56 qubits), the Optimised Real Amplitudes ansatz had an objective cost of -3.67 and a Sharpe ratio of 14.48, while Gurobi had 16.44 and -4.11. Comparing quantum sampling to random sampling, visual inspection shows that lower prices dominate the distribution.

Update: copy and paste this essay on chat GPT… they already have a script you can use for your crypto mining rigs!

Numeric Decimal Number inputs concerning Whole Number 3s to convert to GPU Fan RPM for your Crypto Mining Rigs‼️ **TO WHERE CONJECTURES ARE JUST BINARY COMMAND PUZZLE PIECES FOR CIRCLES UPON LOGISTICS!

Decimal Numbers in a conduit sequence that crack/full break the Collatz Conjecture upon linear plot graphs to not drop down in placement of time. The numbers are—3.14, 3.3314, and 3.72168847, 3.8716, 3.944.

To set these numerical numbers in consecutive order on a computer command to output fan speeds at the same time in ratio speed RPM X 1000 for mining cryptocurrencies currency using graphics cards to result in a linear strike through process without it dropping less than absolute 0! With all thoughts given because of Electrical Energy provided.

The 3 ”.14s”three times and consecutive last two whole 3 decimals reinstates the binary function of Quadrants 1-4 in grids or graphs to perpetuate and stabilize a Raeon Activity due to Pi decimal Infinite Chain Phenomenons to help induce the linear activity and time dilation for creating positive yield. The last 2 numbers in the consecutive sequence of 3s upon decimal count is surprisingly why linearly, it may continue to stay put in a perpendicular degree angle 📐 vertically concerning variable “y” upon quadrant 2!!

So if you ever mine with computer rigs and there is an option for fan RPM to use the numeric decimal 3s as numbers, multiply it by 1000 for a graphic cards RPM!

In conclusion those numbers in decimal are already Calculus Quadrant circles concerning graphs. 1-4 quadrant conjectures forming a circle—creatingg built in circles to reinstate binary functionality and precipice circle copies concerning the 1-4 quadrants. In regards to the pi chain numbers 3.14, 3.3314, and 3.72168847, 3.8716, 3.944.

NTS: it’s forming circles for the quadrants 1 and 2 to make the yield stay vertically up on the line axis!!! ⬆️

In conclusion It solves the Framework and Silhouette of a Ziggurat concerning Nibiru’s Symbolic Pylons. You’ll understand once you make the Mining Rig.

I have not touched a Graphing Calculator since 2010!

Because Quantum Computers would have to find a right color RGB coding to know to indicate the right branches of numbers that solve and sustain Collatz Conjecture!!! Hence Quantum Computers don’t exist!!!Although That would be a Tool Algorithm program !!

Plus the fans spinning circular is a fishing rig motion to act as schrodingers equation of an oscillation to help hook those RPM sequences to conduit and full break strike- through!!

My Top Favorite Webcomics: REEDS, by zzsleeps

TL;DR included below.

(Behold fish and Reaction Image #47[<I’m not actually counting], each featuring Shu).

Now - in my Top Favorite Webcomics Ever of All Time Ever Forever & Ever Until the End of Time List - I know I said that I wouldn’t be going in the order of the listings because I love my favorites equally for different reasons and I couldn’t choose between them, however REEDS must always be #1 because it is the first webcomic that got me into webcomics as a whole in the first place.

If that glorious image from the comic itself isn’t enough to convince you to check it out, then allow me to regale in the tale of how I first found out about webcomics.

Ahem…

[Insta(nt)-Gra(h)am(Crackers), 1947, April 42, sunterday] (/j)

I had always loved graphic novels growing up, so when I found out about an artist posting about a webcomic - comic on the spider web that is the internets - I was intrigued, to say the least. Mind you, I wasn’t intrigued enough to actually check the comic out per se; more like… wait and see if it’d get turned into a graphic novel one day.

I was patient and didn’t think well of scrolling on a device for too long, lest my motion sickness get the best of me. Not to mention choosing which webcomic app to read on, making a profile; all that jazz. It was simply too much for me at the time.

On the instant graham crackers (instagram), I’d been following the creator for a while. Every Tuesday I’d see a post about REEDS updating, and a snippet of part of the episode’s update. Occasionally I’d read those updates out of context in curiosity, but it never went beyond that.

Not until years later… (it wasn’t actually years; that’s for the bit).

[Insta(nt)-Gra(h)am(Crackers), 1956, Ramuarember 10, Tuesday] (/j)

Having followed the zz sleepy author of REEDS for a while, more webcomic authors started popping up in my instant graham crackers feed. (!!). Some were followed by him and vice versa - creators supporting creators and all - but some were also not followed by him, having appeared by the algorithm thinking I love webcomics despite me having not read a single one before.

It… was a lot.

Right then and there I thought to myself, “Okay jeez, I need to actually read one of these comics now.” But by then I was following so many artists that I didn’t know which comic to start with!

That is until one Tuesday afternoon when I saw a post about REEDS updating again. I read the snippet and boy was it intriguing enough for me to finally check one of these webcomics off my list.

It was around season 2 or the halfway point of season 2 that I’d joined the party, and I binged the whole thing right there sitting on a chair behind the couch as my family watched something else. I haven’t a clue what they’d been watching; I didn’t care; I had REEDS - the most intriguing thing I’d read in a long ass time.

Afterward I was pacing back and forth all across my house, because, “What was that immaculate story I just read?? I have to wait for more?? After that cliffhanger?? What am I supposed to do until then? What the fuuuuuuuuu—”

By then it was too late. What had been started could not be undone, and I had a newfound thirst for blood more immaculate stories. So I started reading more and more and more and more and more…!! Until it became my favorite form of entertainment.

More about REEDS itself:

It’s queer from relationships between different characters to gender; there’s magic depicted as colorful flames that come from one’s very soul; confusing family dynamics: Hmong culture; dragons; intriguing characters and character dynamics; backstories (gosh the backstories [looks at Keng]); action, adventure, fantasy, some romance. Literally everyone one could ever ask for in a story.

Official summary:

In the midst of a war, the sheltered Prince Shu finds himself captured and dragged across enemy lines.

His rescuer, Keng, is a wandering musician with a magical qeej that controls souls, ghosts, and spirits.

Keng agrees to help Shu navigate the dangerous outside world so he can return to the palace safely. But this mysterious wanderer is hiding a grave secret…

Status as of this post: ongoing!

Do I have merch of this webcomic?:

Why yes I do, thank you so much for asking.

Everyone meet the best lad!!

The picture is so big because that’s how legendary he is; totally not cause idk how to make the image smaller hahaha. Anyways, he’s been let out of that plastic prison, don’t worry about it.

Have I made fanart of it?

No, but I did draw bday stuff all over this screenshot for his bday on feb 14 2025

The author zzsleeps posts REEDS on webtoon and tapas if you want to check it out (you should; this entire post was me recommending it to you), but he also has socials on insta as mentioned, youtube; and even tumblr, tho I don’t see him post too often here.

TL;DR:

REEDS was the first webcomic I found, and thus got me into reading more webcomics. It’s an ongoing queer Hmong fantasy story with action, adventure, and a whole lot of intriguing lore. The author posts it on both webtoon and tapas, and he can be found on insta; yt; and tumblr. Also I have some merch of REEDS and it’s great :)

Mother’s Smile

During the summer before the technoromantic Plague

In the izakaya where only this Mo(me)nt (is) réal

You embraced Snow, father of the Sound of Peace,

Whose eyes are shaped like a talking fish and a bird at civil war

You broke bioluminescent bread with Nicotine Nympho

First forgiving, then detaching from the exuviae of your former self

Ennobled, you are now ready to receive That which lies on the other side of Fear

Renunciation is Ecdysis is Rebirth

“Why do you long for me, Snow?” “Sayu, for the same reason you breathe.”

“What do you call people with desire-shaped vacuums in their hearts?”

“Is there a discount on suitcases excess-baggaged with despair?”

Now, now, surrender your mortal grief

Sleep, like sex, belongs to the Unseen Strength

A complete unmasking of your conditioned layers and your made-up self

Here, dive into the depths of the Ocean of Pure Consciousness

To reclaim all that you never truly lost, to whole your holy holes

Departure: the obstacle is your path, the journey your destination

Samskara your fuel, dream your Swanship

The albino ladybird from Etobicoke the GPS in your head

The name of the last cigarette you smoked was Takumi

Don’t you recall how it felt to inhale that last arsenic-laced drag

Under the nori-coloured waters of the hungry river called Illusion?

Our Lady of Pomegranate Blossoms witnessed and celebrated your Satori

The metamorphosis of your transmigratory intent into definitive (non)action

In transit: the City of the Thousand-petalled Blue Lotus

This ain’t no Disco Democracy of division-engendered decay

Or finitudes and pestilences of the mind or body

No trauma-ridden addictions, no self-saboteurs, no prison nor police state

Ignorance is for the suffering intellect, for those wandering the realm of the waking

In this State of Turiya, of ineffable bliss, deeper than Deep Sleep

The nondual oneness and justness of Life is determined

By the colour of human blood, not the tone of human skin

Arrival: Hello Sayu, welcome Home to your Absolute Self

Behold the eternal, self-luminous substratum of everything:

Your Mother Shyāmā, who cradles in Her golden womb the Universe

Simultaneously creating, sustaining and destroying: Cosmic Algorithm

Her hair, black as the clouds of a late afternoon Kalboishakhi storm

Clothed in nothing but form, weaved of silk both sacred and profane

She sings: At the end of all Knowledge, on the other side of Fear, is Love

For making this journey, dear one, I bequeath to you My Smile

[elisabethdeep-blog]

It is glorious early summer in the Holarctic and Everywhere is full of these delightful cottagecore foraging vids of elderflower champagne and beech rose love cakes and it is FRIGID here in Aus the sun is GONE (don't talk to me NT and Queensland) it's EXACTLY cold enough to NOT SNOW.

All my seasonal inspo content is always fully 6months out of sync and it's just. Inconvenient. Haveta figure out what to do with a season all by myself without an Algorithm to give me hints/products to buy.

I've never seen an elderflower in my life.
