Who are you trusting to babysit your kids? (Hint: none)

Other than Cecil, the other three are Invincible ocs for a short fancomic I’m working on in which the four of them effectively prevent WW3. Some info below

VEIL (Vigilance, Espionage, Infiltration, Logistics) is the GDA’s primary special operations unit, responsible for covert and tactical military (and paramilitary) operations. Notably, the members of VEIL are mostly ordinary humans, but there are some exceptions.

Pictured here was a four man team sent in 1989 to deal with an international crisis in a mission code named Operation: Acid Rain. This was a top secret stealth mission that even many other VEIL agents were unaware of the existence of. Cecil is the lone infiltrator while the rest were on support.

From left to right, top to bottom:

Major Stan Chapman (Commanding officer of VEIL),

Cecil Stedman (Spy and special forces operator, stealth and infiltration specialist),

Dr. Cynthia Vance (Engineer and weapons/equipment/technology expert),

Dr. Glenn Eckert (Medical specialist and consultant on metahumans).

I will not disclose anything else for now to keep it spoiler free. Hehe

[the-poppy-outie-effect]

the inherent hilarity of Antigone Funn and her brother's arch enemy Eric Chapman having not just a little sweet fling, but a heart-wrenching tragic 'they loved each other but at different times' saga that is implied to become a full romance now that they're on the same page and clearly perfect for each other to the point that we all kind of assume that they're going to become a permanent item. Imagine Rudyard having to cope with the fact that Chapman is going to become his brother-in-law. Imagine how often Antigone would get called a traitor for casually working for both funeral homes. Antigone begging her brother not to kill Eric now, it's Christmas, for heaven's sake Rudyard! Georgie reminding her boss and her other boss' husband no feuding at the dinner table. It would be like Steve Carlsberg and Cecil Palmer if Steve gave as much bitchiness as he got and I'm so fucking here for it. Wow.

Top 5 podcasts (or podcast episodes if thats not too hard?)

oooh....okay top 5 podcast episodes

Wooden Overcoats S2E8 There Ought To Be Clowns

i mean what can i say. this episode changed my life. it means so much to me. antigone realizing that even her hero feels inadequate, even despite having inspired antigone so, trying to prove herself and almost killing herself in the process. chapman helping the funns even though they fucked up another funeral, because he knows how much it means to antigone. i love this episode and i love this podcast so much. (truly im fighting for my life not to make every episode on this list be from wooden overcoats...)

RQG 171 The Bow Bar

i remember exactly when i listened to this episode and it was one of the best times of my life not only bc i was travelling when i heard it but bc i just got caught in a very specific vibe that day and ive been chasing that feeling ever since. mother mother's inside came out around that time so now i have a permanent connection between this episode and the song two.

Welcome to Night Vale- Pilot

i was screaming at my friends for weeks if not longer about cecil being gay from the first episode. it was awesome. also i will never forget hearing the absolutely ICONIC "dogs are not allowed in the dog park. people are not allowed in the dog park." etc and having my WHAT THE FUCK AM I LISTENING TO??? moment <3 good times good times. wish i could wipe my brain and do it all over again for the first time

Wolf 359 Episode 46 Bolero

i literally stopped listening to wolf 359 for at least a year because of this episode. i NUH-UH-ed my way out of there so motherfucking fast it was insane. i will not spoil in case anyone hasn't listened to it and wants to but uh.....god fucking damn. (bonus episode: change of mind, the episode right after bolero. guh.)

and last but not least...

MAG 1 Angler Fish

who would i be without having listened to this. i genuinely have no idea. i haven't listened to tma in a while but i literally measure my life in before tma and after tma. there is no going back.

[margridarnauds]

You're so right about AI being bland and how everyone should use it instead of imagining what it is and isn't but I cannot touch ChatGPT with a ten foot pole after spending months next to the only man I Literally Cannot Stand at work use it for everything from Listing Pros And Cons Of Living In The City For A Conversation I'm Having In Person Right Now all the way to This Is Basically A Search Engine, Right? I've Never Heard of Cthulu Before, I'll Ask ChatGPT Who Came Up With It And What The Stories He Wrote Are.

Oh yeah, absolutely!

Like, my take on ChatGPT is just...it isn't glamorous, one way or another. But the people who borderline worship it are extremely annoying specifically *because* it isn't glamorous. I can at least get the fear-mongering more, especially since we DO have this phenomenon where something doesn't have to be *good*, it just needs to be *convincing* for people to use it over human beings. (See: Google translate.) I know that people are absolutely using it to, say, write books and stuff. (I think that a lot of the concerns re: fanfic don't...hold up as much as people think, like this so called wave of people plugging in hundreds of fanfics, just because anyone who's used ChatGPT knows there's a character limit. It could be they're using another one, but I think that a lot of people just enjoy stoking fandom's anxieties over this sort of thing.)

Basically my approach isn't "use ChatGPT religiously" or even "like ChatGPT"; it's more..."realistically understand what it is and isn't so you can frame your criticisms correctly instead of relying on a bunch of Tumblr posts by people who have ALSO never used it."

Tl;dr: You're valid. AI bros still annoying.

And now for my Hall of Fame (using things from the last...month or so instead of farther back because it HAS gotten slightly better):

Top female Celticists:

(1) Miranda Aldhouse-Green: Female Celticist, definitely doesn't deserve to be at the top given that she isn't...really...widely respected...in the field. Like, I'm not going to say more because we're talking about currently living scholars, but...there are others who deserve top prize.

(2) Dáithí Ó gÓgáin - Famously not a female Celticist.

(3) Barry Cunliffe, decidedly not a female Celticist.

(4) Anne Ross, see Aldhouse-Green. (Also...that book....is not highly regarded in the field.)

(5) Máire Herbert - FINALLY a female Celticist who's also widely respected and whose work holds up strongly. I sure hope that this isn't the only time this hap-oh, wait.

(6) Proinsias Mac Cana - Not a female Celticist.

RIP to Nerys Patterson, Robin Chapman-Stacey, Catherine McKenna, Charlene Eska, Rachel Bromwich, Cecile O'Rahilly, Elizabeth Gray, Maud Joynt, Natasha Sumner, Elizabeth Boyle, Ranke de Vries, Katherine Simms, etc. etc. etc. Barry Cunliffe is a more important female Celticist than them.

Philippe Égalité voting for the execution of Marie Antoinette...which is amazing when you consider that he was imprisoned at the time and awaiting his own execution, only a few weeks after Antoinette's. (He was a busy man.) Clearly ChatGPT liked the musical.

Ruairí Ó hUiginn is a wonderful scholar, but I think he's a little too busy working at DIAS to be the head of the Department of Old Irish...in Cork...where he has never lectured. And I feel like current head of the department of Old Irish, John Carey, might have a few things to say about that.

When I asked it to write a sequel to Romeo and Juliet and it gave me a baby who defies the laws of...basic...biology.

Basically the moral of the story from these shouldn't JUST be "ChatGPT is flawed" but more "It CAN actually be useful for coming up with ideas, the same as a random name generator, and it's very fun to torment with false information, but just like a random name generator, don't put more stock in it than it's worth."

➹ - Lily James

I have this OC for Lily James... but I have no problem making another!

Name: (Lady, potentially) Katherine Chapman Fandom: Miss Fischer's Murder Mysteries Love Interest: I kind of want to say Jack, but I mean Phryne and Jack ♥, so if not Jack then Cecil Plot: Katherine moves to Melbourne from London and gets caught up in Phryne's investigation. Phryne is suspicious of Katherine and her motives because she knows Katherine is keeping secrets. It isn't long before Katherine's secrets begin to haunt her in Melbourne. (terrible summary.. I can't word it right at the moment).

tagging you just to be sure @thewavesroar

I don't know if anyone else watches this so I'm not going to tag anyone else! haha
