New Oversight oneshot should be posted later today. I am a mother now… to a cat that we found living in our garage, but it’s a grueling life. So be on the lookout!

You can not convince me this boy does not own a pair of wireless earbuds?! He pulled out the wired ones on purpose to have an excuse to sit close to his boy

I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron (apart from I skipped some overly long action sequences) and I am not sure so can someone tell me whether or not Tony Stark was the baddy in that film? Because about halfway through I was sure he was but then it was maybe just an evil robot after all and I am confused because either this film was surprisingly subversive or it was about robots hitting each other.

people who actually believe that theory that usopp will die to prove he's a brave warrior of the sea is so ridiculous when oda can't even kill a giant who was in a flashback 22 years ago

the issue with AI chatbots is that they should NEVER be your first choice if you are building something to handle easily automated forms.... consider an algorithmic "choose your own adventure" style chatbot first

it really seems to me that the air canada chatbot was intended to be smth that could automatically handle customer service issues but honestly... if you do not need any sort of "human touch" then i would recommend a "fancier google form"... like a more advanced flowchart of issues. If you NEED AI to be part of your chatbot I would incorporate it as part of the input parsing - you should not be using it to generate new information!

The way data and lore’s circuitry and wires and shit are just under a layer of faux skin is wild to me. Like i get it in the sense that they weren’t actually built to be like constantly on away team action bonanzas and to be as humanesque as possible in their design but idk man

Noonien soong is stronger than me just seeing shit like data’s wires after a minor cut to the forehead is so anxiety inducing for me. Put that shit under a metal casing bruh do you care NOTHING for the safety of these parts????

[ellynneversweet]

Werewolf stories set in locations where astronauts are a thing don’t go into the whole thing nearly enough. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a werewolf story in which this is even touched on.

You know what I wish we'd seen?

More positive actively involved magic users.

Like, we know the Druids support Emrys, though they seem more like a pacifist, non-combatant party (aside from some outliers like Kara, Mordred, Alvarr), and other magic users/beings like Anhora, Grettir, Mab, they all seem to be neutral. They acknowledge Emrys as a superior power, but they don't seem to actively participate for better or worse. And all other sorcerers are usually antagonistic. But why can't we have the other side? I'm sure there has to be some who decide to take Merlin's side. Maybe they don't entirely trust Arthur, maybe they aren't too certain of a Pendragon, but dude, it's fucking Emrys. If Emrys is supporting him, there's gotta be something to him, right?

Let Merlin have people helping him, other sorcerers who slip him spells that are too powerful for them, maybe he can do something with it, passing him information about plots they've heard through the sorcerers' grapevine, even helping him thwart some of the ambushes and traps. Maybe they aren't brave enough to live in Camelot 24/7 like Merlin, but they take turns bringing him messages and supplies, and to get their "marching orders," such as they are.

Also, imagine the look on Arthur's face when he finds out he has a magic Praetorian Guard that answers to his manservant.

yeah see, that's one of the big issues that's always bothered me. like we (the audience) are told that magic is not evil but rather is something as integral as nature. but more often than not, a lot of the antagonist we meet are magic users and most of the time they are power hungry people. i mean, i totally understand the sorcerers who seek out revenge for Uther and by proxy Camelot, but we only either get these types of sorcerers or the sorcerers whom the show portrays as only evil.

it is, frankly, impossible for the magic community to be full of only evil and vengeful sorcerers. there's got to be more diversity than that, bbc 🙄 you're telling me that there are no somewhat powerful magic users living in Albion helping others anyway they can and don't seek to help aid Merlin in anyway. and i mean aid him since s1. by s5 it looked like he was actually getting some help, but they were still sorcerers who fell a little bit in the gray area or just never interacted with anyone other than Merlin.

maybe have Lancelot befriend another sorcerer while he was away from Camelot and sort of sneak him in to help save the kingdom from Morgana and Morgause in s3. maybe Elyan, who had left Camelot pre-s1, have some magic friends that we meet in s4.

tbh, my big issue is that with how much the show tells us, the audience, that magic does have positive impacts and isn't evil, none of the characters besides Gaius, Merlin, and Lancelot actually know that (as far as i'm aware). literally any time Arthur considers that maybe magic isn't what his father claimed it to be, he ends up going back to those prejudices and ideas Uther propagated because "magic killed my father," "magic killed my mother" (still super salty), "magic corrupted morgana," "magic wants me dead." when in reality, that's far from the truth, and Merlin then has to continue to hide a part of himself from people he cares for and loves dearly because all they've ever known and seen is "evil magic people."

just....bbc, explain to me how Arthur was supposed to bring the so-called "Golden Age" to Albion where there's peace between magic users and non-magic users alike if he, himself, believed magic was inherently evil???? how is Arthur the Once and Future King if he never repealed the ban on magic or began working with sorcerers? and i'm saying this as someone who loves the character, but why did we, the audience, not get a chance to really see Arthur break away from his father's prejudices on magic until the series finale?

it just bugs me. there are so many moments where it looks like maybe Merlin has an ally that's pro-magic and pro-unity and wants to help fulfill the prophecy, but then they either become one-time side characters or fucking die. never seen or heard from again. maybe i just want a character or two to stick and maybe give Merlin the support group he needs?

por favor, bbc

you know what I've been thinking about since last friday? ayan's necklace in the pool scene. because it's normal before he jumps in the pool. but afterwards the pendant is in the back and it stays like that during multiple shots:

this is only a small detail that was maybe not intentional or just so khao wouldn't get hit by the pendant during the underwater kiss- but what if it has meaning? because in ep6 when akk kicks ayan off the bed the same happens. but the necklace is in place again in the next shot - meaning for us as audience that ayan must've righted the necklace in between shots (the way someone who is deeply attached to a pendant necklace would do).

so what if in the pool scene it stays like that because ayan forgot to put it back? what if he enjoyed his time with akk so much that he didn't notice it?

and in the general theme of akk as sun / ayan as eclipse, what does it mean when ayan while looking at akk (the sun) forgets to put the necklace (the moon/eclipse/his reminder of dika) back? just how important is akk to him? how big are his feelings for akk?

It bothers me so much that Cassian can have his wings shredded (acomaf ch. 65 p. 602 ) and still make a full recovery. Azriel's wings are also injured (acowar ch. 65 p. 578) though we're told not as badly as Cassian's wings. Still, it's bad enough that he can't participate in the up coming battle though his wings can be saved.

We get a description of Emerie's wings from Cassian (acofas ch. 8 p. 76) who describes the scars as "careful, brutal scars down the center tendons." In acosf (ch. 9 p. 109) Nesta asks Emerie if a healer could repair her wings. Emerie tells her "It is extremely complex - all the connecting muscles nerves and senses. Short of the High Lord of Dawn, I'm not certain anyone could handle it." Maybe it's just me but the word "shredded" makes me think that Cassian's wings were probably in a worse state than Emerie's wings. The thing is Cassian wasn't healed by Thesan so the Night Court has at least one healer capable of repairing Illyrian wings.

Despite this nothing can be done for all the Illyrian women who've had their wings clipped apparently.

something the agent of spyral plot missed out on really going into was how often futuristic, best in the business, #1 spyral face hiding spy tech was proven useless by dicks own personal brand of stupidity

sometimes comic writing is silly in that “they’re all shooting off one-liners while they punch each other” but the thing is when its done badly you NOTICE. the reaction isn’t "oh yeah i guess this is media for children but also this is spider-man.” when its done badly the response is a) about five seconds trying to understand what the joke is meant to be, b) a slightly baffled “is that meant to be... funny?” and then c) they would NOT say that they would NOT
