So I changed my thesis topic and it’s gonna be abt cybersecurity issues in BCIs (brain-computer interfaces), mmmight focus on neurological cyber attacks (”brainjacking” but I HATE that word, and will refuse to use it at all costs) but not too sure yet. But anyways, I’m feeling excited abt this whole thing again! 🧠
The only interests I’ve actually ever had have been space, crime things (mostly just criminology), neuroscience and coding. And this sort of incorporates 3 of them, so idk why I didn’t decide to go with this in the first place.
(this was my og plan tho, I just got ??insecure?? abt it bc not much of ML or AI in there, or even anything *that* technical (probs will have some pseudocode algorithms but not a lot). But honestly like it’s a bachelor’s thesis; just a practice run for the other theses you’re (maybe) going to do, the main thing for this one is to have something interesting to you & learn about the process)

Chinese/Lunar New Year
So uh for the past few days I’d been contemplating a Chinese New Year piece for this year in particular because uh it’s the Year of the Dragon and that plus dragon dance so perfect a combination it makes, but uh… admittedly I bit more than I could chew so uh :’D
I wasn’t able to make a full artwork in time, but I do have my cleaned up sketch to show for the holiday, so without further ado, happy Chinese/Lunar New Year Stilton fandom <3
It’s very not complete and the dragon’s details aren’t even drawn in but I hope ya’ll like it anyway
I am planning on finishing this tho so stay tuned for that :3

just like I thought I had a very bad time I was extremely anxious the entire time I couldn’t think straight I feel like everything these kids have told their parents about me was very much expected in our interactions and I gave….them nothing I couldn’t think straight there were too many awkward silences and I wanted to kill myself I had such a hard time being normal I couldn’t even say goodbye to everyone and I cried the whole 40 minutes it took to get home fuck my life

this is a pointless complaint so feel free to scroll past but like. why are kid fics so popular? I know I’m in the minority here because they’re so popular, and I have in fact enjoyed a few over the years, but I just. don’t get it. a lot of characters I love don’t feel like people who’d want kids, for one reason or another, and yeah okay personal headcanon/projecting I’m aware, but still. also there’s so often a storyline revolving around one of the characters being scared to have children, feeling like they won’t be a good parent, and it’s always resolved by their partner telling them that’s ridiculous of course they’ll be a good parent! like why can’t that be a valid reason for not wanting kids? even fics where the characters break up because of disagreements over this wind up with them getting back together and the person who didn’t want kids realizes that, oh, never mind, they wanted kids all along actually, they just didn’t think they were worthy of being a parent. and obviously in real life they are plenty of people with trauma who do feel they won’t be good parents but want kids anyway and I’m very happy they can see similar cathartic plot lines in fics. but just once I’d really enjoy a character actually committing to not wanting kids and not having them. biological, adopted, coming in as a step parent. kids aren’t for them. and that’s fine! either their partner accepts it or they don’t, but their stance doesn’t change because it’s not like not wanting kids makes them a horrible person

Watching gaming dudebros have full-on heart attacks and stroking out over tasm2 not winning or any of their basic ass shooting games and running around talking about how “nobody played Alan Wake 2 or BG3” when in fact a shitload of people did play both games and yall refuse to branch out and play other games and yall live in a bubble of just Fortnite, Cod, and other games just like it, and now you’re going out of your way to be unhinged individuals online about it instead of showing good sportsmanship and congratulating the amazing games and teams behind them that did win an award.

Like I always do, I’m still thinking about other planets covered in water containing so many large and frightening looking aquatic creatures that by human definitions are alien marine dinosaurs, both deep sea and deep space creatures
And because I’m always thinking about Humans and Vulcans, I’m currently thinking about a Human who’s a marine biologist who specifically goes to other planets to check out creatures like that but they’re on medical leave because of what happened on the last planet they were on
And I’m imagining them happily explaining their job and the Incident™️ to a Vulcan they met on public transportation while the Vulcan uses every training technique they’ve ever learned to not outwardly show how horrified they are
