"Blake Lively is so annoyi-"

shhhhh shhh hush now baby... is girliepop complicit in the adaptation of It Ends With Us into film, ultimately spreading extremely toxic messaging about what constitutes as a healthy, acceptable, or worse yet romantic relationship to the masses...? yeah....... yeah she is, baby, Blake is complicit but shh... let's save that Grade-A Rage to build the anti-Colleen-Hoover laser so this never happens again... bc It STARTS With Her....... Blake is just the trimmings!! okay......? okay ;-))

sure i COULD ramble about how ai is one of the multiple things that check all the marks of humanity's seven deadly sins but would that be extreme

Auridon

ESO region aesthetic board More >

The second largest of the Summerset Isles, Auridon has always served the High Elves as a buffer between their serene archipelago and the turmoil of Tamriel. The Altmer of Auridon have been hardened by generations of repelling invaders, pirates, and plagues.

"It's as I said. The ceremonies are for the people. They've always been a part of crowning a new Altmeri monarch. The people are already nervous about my extended absence. They need to know they can trust me." – Queen Ayrenn

the way some people straight up have no respect for asou's writing is actually kind of insane to me 😭 like youre a fan of HIS manga, but you outwardly express your disregard for the intentions he had when writing....... disregarding canon can be super duper funsies and cool sometimes, but to straight up say "i dont care what he intended and think my headcanons are more canon than what he wrote because i think he wrote it badly/he sucks at writing this dynamic/i dont like the ship (or whatever) he was trying to imply" is literally just insanely disrespectful IN MY OPINION 😖

i think maybe im just annoyed at how badly people misuse the words "canon", "coded", and "implied" (which im also guilty of occasionally- especially when i first came here) cuz like... "i choose not to acknowledge this thing that is canon or technically canon or implied" is fine (usually). "i know what the author intended but i dont like it or care, so im going to call my headcanon/ship canon and anyone who disagrees is disregarding canon and is stupid because i said so" is NOT fine... ☠️☠️☠️

How would I go about learning about computer programming? Any advice for absolute beginners?

hm… well, i guess there's two primary ways you can start.

firstly, you could take a course. there are some online that are free to start with, like harvard's cs50, but i personally think the second option is a bit more fun and hands on.

the second option is to take some time to look up coding basics and experiment a bit through a small personal project. you can learn about the basic structure of computer programs and how programming languages work by watching youtube videos, or browsing stack overflow... and from there you can start small by making little programs that can do simple things. after that, it'll be a good foundation into coding more complex things.

good luck.

how do you prevent fleas when taking your cats outside? it luckily isnt a problem yet, but i dont know anything about flea prevention for cats or what works. thanks so much! heres a picture of bathtub rusting in the sun for your time :3

shes been great outside since the start! im very lucky shes so chill. this is her 3rd or 4th backyard visit

We use Advantage II as our flea preventative! You can find it or similar products in most pet stores as far as I know. It’s just a paste you squeeze onto their back every few months, so no pills or stress required! The worst part is you can’t pet them for a while or else you’ll get slimed.

fun fact on how Montana's glowing eyes work! (like these ones, or these) since at one point they constantly had a glow to them but now they don't (￣▽￣)/

so now there are 4 categories (´• ω •`)

normal -> just pink, no glow

using (for her) "safe magic" aka earth magic (I explained my magic system here) -> slight glow

using (for her) "unsafe" magic aka pandoric magic -> glowy eyes (think yato from noragami)

"super saiyan mode" aka "unsafe" magic overload that will cause her to pass out after 5 minutes -> no pupils, almost completely white except for a slight pink glow around her iris (almost like the avatar state in atla)

let’s see if i can phrase this in a meaningful, legible way…

Problem:

we introject characters that we are fully capable of talking about for hours. they don’t ever get more distinct if that isn’t true. but that leaves us with the question: if you know that character so well, isn’t there implicit pressure for the introject version of them to be exactly the same guy?

if they act in a way that isn’t in character, you’ll notice. they’ll notice. sometimes the pressure comes from other system members; sometimes it’s internal pressure to prove that you are who you say you are. some people are immune to it; some people are more sensitive. as with everything, it varies between individuals.

and there’s an additional problem called “this person’s source is something i could talk about for hours on end and never be done with.” that is: this introject is here because we like their story. the easiest way to prevent an introject from feeling pressure to conform to their source is to give them as much room as they need to decide their relationship with it. this is made harder and more complicated by sharing a head with someone who’s obsessed with them/their world/their story. it becomes a balancing act: how do you let the introject decide where they stand on their source without make other people feel like they aren’t allowed to enjoy a story that they love?

that is: how do you talk about the character in the story without implying things about the real man in your head? how do you examine the character’s traumas without hurting the real man in your head? how do you decide what personal details to share with friends who wouldn’t otherwise know anything without sharing things the real man in your head would prefer to keep to himself? how do you criticize a character’s flaws without shaming the real man in your head? and on and on. nobody wants to force anyone to be something they aren’t. but nobody wants others to give up the things that bring them joy, either.

Solution:

fictional characters and the introjects that resemble them are different, distinct people. when we talk about a story, enjoy fanart, engage with a source, or talk about the character, we are talking about the fiction. we often specify this in the way we talk: Loid Videogame, for example, is different from Loid; the line between the fictional and the real is clearly defined. in this way, Loid can decide for himself what is real to him; he is always free to say “that thing from the story also happened to me,” but it’s never assumed before he decides. this is also useful in the cases in which a system members has some kind of attraction to the character; defining it as “I’m attracted to this character but not the person I need to share a brain with” handily removes the fear of making someone in your brain uncomfortable for having feelings for a character.

this is also helpful for the introjects whose sources haven’t been completed, or who introjected before they reached the end of the story. if it does turn out that later events don’t feel true, or if there’s a wild twist that casts them in a bad light, they can say “well, that’s the story. my life went differently.” and it’s okay, not even surprising.

it means that even people familiar with the source have a chance to get to know the real guy more personally; we’ve always felt better about it when people remember facts about us and not just facts about our various sources. Bren doesn’t even share what his source is if he can help it; he doesn’t want people making assumptions about his character based on something he didn’t share himself.

obviously there’s more nuance to all of it than this. there are as many ways for an introject to experience themselves as their are introjects. but as far as a simple, stopgap rule that lets most of our people live with just a bit less stress? we’ve found this extraordinarily useful.
