they’re formative yaoi to me

[quietwingsinthesky]

the thing is, i don’t disagree that what and how you choose to write about things is a reflection of you, the writer, and cannot be divorced from your beliefs and biases. but to assume that anyone can perfectly pick out your beliefs from a piece of fiction you’ve written is an extremely weird and paranoid thing to claim, especially if you’re positing that the secret truth is that the writer is a dangerous person and they’re “revealing” that through fiction that upsets you, personally. at the end of the day, the artist is not the art, and no matter how upsetting, no matter how much you dislike it, no matter how much it disgusts you, you don’t know the person who made it and you can only guess how who they are shaped what they made.

like, really, is it more likely that the secret “belief” that’s being revealed when you’re reading something that is really upsetting to you is that the author is a secret Bad Person™️ who wants all of this fantasy to happen in real life, or that the author knows it’s a safe and normal thing to create upsetting works of fiction and so did that.

Shifting mutuals? 🫠 None of my friends are into it, and I just want people to rant with and hype each other up! I love the idea of shifting with others and keeping each other motivated.

Chapter 08: Our Hobbies Include Bird-Calling And Throat-Slashing

Fandom: TESIV Oblivion (Dark Brotherhood) Relationships: OC/Lucien Lachance; OC & Antoinetta Marie Rating: Mature Relevant Tags: Religious indoctrination/brainwashing (see all tags on AO3) Word Count: 6255

In this chapter, Murderer Antoinetta learns how to stab someone in the kidneys, we find out what she and her mentor did to get to this point in their lives, and then she sees a very cool bird.

Wind whistled through the thin arrow slits of Chalman’s remaining watchtower. Outside, another of First Seed’s brief showers misted the northern Heartlands, the sound of its droplets pitter-pattering across stone bricks like tiny running footsteps. Clouds obscured the glow from either moon and left me with only dwindling embers to disturb the watchtower’s darkness. I rested on some rubble within, silently biting into chunks of rabbit tyarappa impaled upon the bone skewer in my hands. The faint, warm light of the dying fire held my gaze. I listened to the shadows with twitching ears and feigned preoccupation. There was that chorus of whistling wind, those dancing pitter-patter steps of rain … and now, a new sound. The quiet shuffle of shrouded leathers behind me. I reacted to it with the speed of an injured snail. When I reached for my blade, a swift blow to my wrist sent the weapon clattering across the room. My attacker wrestled me down without regard for the ensuing lackadaisical struggle. Then, their gloved hand forced my chin upwards. Cold steel tickled the exposed flesh of my throat. There was little I could do before the blade would slice it open, and then it could be over in a matter of seconds. … Remarkably-adequate work!

I think a lot of discourse boils down to the idea that there's One Right Answer for everything. But the world, and individual people, are far too complex for that.

For example, a very common pattern of conflict I see is this-

"[blank] was very harmful to me, and set me back a lot." "But [blank] was what finally helped me understand and work through everything."

And instead of approaching the subject with curiosity and compassion, it becomes a fight over which is "correct".

A much more helpful conversation is, "How can we provide fuller information to help people figure out what's best for them?"

How did you go teach your dogs to settle and be okay with having some chill days where they don't do much?

I didn't have to do anything with tofu, he just came with the innate ability to sleep if nothing exciting was happening already built in, he's naturally a lot more easy going and he'd make the perfect pet for some old lady who just watches tv all day. finn took a lot more effort, though.

it's a lot of different things that will eventually shape your dog into how you want them to be. I needed him to be comfortable doing nothing, to have the ability to be contentedly bored, to essentially match my energy, because I didn't need a dog that is bouncing off the walls when I'm at work or sick. a lot of it was just not giving in to demand behaviours like barking, dropping toys in my lap, nudging and pawing at me, and rewarding relaxed behaviours such as lying in his bed, quietly sitting with me, etc. he had a lot of time outs in his crate and I gave him something constructive to do in confinement like a chew or a stuffed kong and he would eventually fall asleep after a while. he'd be rewarded any time he was quietly existing independently of me without causing a ruckus. if I knew he'd had his needs met, then any kind of inappropriate attention seeking would be ignored until he settled, which also helped him learn to play on his own (that's something that we're having to revisit now because my husband is not yet immune to finn's tactics of persuasion, I quote: "he looks at me all sad and I just feel bad."). I applied the same concept to new places, i.e. doing nothing and then rewarding the behaviours I wanted to see from him, and now I have a dog that knows what down time is and how to behave appropriately in any setting.

maybe not the most helpful answer but that's essentially how I did it, and what my expectations for them were. 🙌

//I think I might do a bit of retconning in regards to the kind of phone Lambda has. He would not have a touchscreen phone at all. It really would not be able to pick up on his touch and he would scratch the fuck out of the screen with his claws.

I'm giving that guy a flip phone now. He's decorating that thing with stickers and stick on gems. It's got You.tu.be on it.

Something that always annoys me is the idea only 1 language learning method works. Which is not true. While it may be possible that, for a particular individual, only a few out of many study methods may work well enough for That Individual to make progress and stay motivated... that doesn't mean all the other study methods won't work for anyone else out there, or that those few methods will work for every other given person.

Obviously if you've been studying a while, then you already figured out what kinds of things work for you and don't. If you're a beginner, just wading into studying?

I would suggest you simply look for study methods that: 1. Teach you new things regularly, 2. Review and practice things you've learned, 3. Include studying things you need for your particular goals (for example if your goal is to read X book then the study materials at some point should involve reading practice and some words the book contains, if your goal is to talk about Y then the study materials should include some information about pronunciation and words you'll need to be able to say).

As you can imagine, a TON of study materials will meet these requirements. And you can study a given skill in a LOT of ways.

(Reading is my focus lol so just for reading, a beginner might: do vocabulary study with lists or conversations with native speakers or watching shows and looking words up or listening to dialogues with a transcript like in a textbook or graded readers or a picture book with word labels in the target language or a video game with labelled objects in target language, all of those things as long as your vocabulary is improving or reading practice is happening would help you make progress). So to improve reading skill as a beginner: you could study with a textbook, a podcast with transcript, a classroom or tutor with words written down in target language (like TPRS), a video game, a TV show and a translate app on your phone, a friend you talk with (who either writes words down or you look up words you hear with a translate app), a friend you text with, srs flashcards like anki (provided there's text) etc. As long as there's new words, and/or you're practicing reading, the study method may work. If it works will come down to if you can stay motivated doing it regularly, and make sure you regularly learn some new things and review/practice things you've already studied.

So consider those things when you see people selling a study method as a product (especially when it's costing you money). Consider if it teaches you NEW things, and are those new things related to your goals, and how MUCH new stuff will it teach you before you finish it? Consider if it provides review or practice, or if you can use it's materials to review on your own making up your own method, or if you'll need to do separate review/practice.

So examples:

LingQ. Can it teach you many new words? Yes, thousands, since you can import any texts you want when you get done with their provided material (I have no idea how much their beginner material covers though in terms of words... I would hope 1000-3000 words but that can be researched). Is your goal reading? It's suited to reading, so you will practice and review often with it. Cost? I think it was $12 a month when I last had it, and the price may have increased. Is it worth it? Depends on a learner's needs. I found it was wasting my money, so I chose to use free tools like Pleco and Readibu apps - since those apps are suited for Chinese learners and have better translations, Pleco has better paid graded reader material if I was going to spend money, and both Pleco and Readibu let me import texts so I can learn thousands of new words just like LingQ but free. Now that I'm not a beginner, I often use Microsoft Edge to read chinese... since I can still click-translate words easily (all my web browsers have that tool free), and Edge's TTS voice is helpful for pronunciation and sounds quite good. I read webnovels online so Edge works well. But it's translations aren't as good as Pleco or Readibu, so if I still needed translations more I would use them. So... is LingQ a good study method? Its certainly a study method marketed to buy. Well... the method is suited to improving reading skill, at least. It costs money, which is a negative, but it does offer a lot. However: everything it does regarding reading can be done free with other apps or sites or web browsers on their own. So if paying money motivates you to read... sure. LingQ does have a few word tracking features a learner may find worth the money, keeping in mind the actual read-to-learn method can be done free without lingq. (Also... while LingQ is a valid option for improving reading, if the learners goal is speaking then it would be important to think of what study activities the learner will do OUTSIDE of LingQ to improve speaking... because I've seen how LingQ is marketed as "how to learn a language" but it's only focused on some skills. It has vocabulary and grammar in some sense, since you'll read a lot and encounter new words and structures. But it doesnt have speaking or writing practice at least last time I was on it. Those activities would need to be worked on, on your own).

You can do that kind of cost/benefit contemplating with any study method material you see being sold. Amother example: there's a beginner Mandarin course called Mandarin Blueprint. It teaches like 800 words. Thats all. It may be worthwhile for a beginner... who still needs to learn 800 common words. But if you already know a few hundred words, the benefit of the course is less, you'll need to find a new material to teach you more new stuff soon. And the price was like a few hundred for the course... which for me personally was too much to spend, when I had already learned 800 hanzi from a book that cost me 12 dollars and 2000 words from a free user made memrise deck. The course claimed to get a person speaking, competent, but anyone not a beginner would say speaking basically with 800 words is nowhere near the level of working in Chinese or just doing a lot of daily life stuff, or reading/listening to media. (Although for the motivated beginner if you're learning 800 words on your own like I was, its definitely close to the point of jumping to learn more words and start reading kids and teenager books, and watching easier shows if you're willing to look new words up). So to me... Mandarin Blueprint felt like overselling some basic beginner materials. (Again when I know several other things that teach beginner stuff either more in depth so HSK test prep classes, and college courses, or that teach beginner stuff to the same depth as Mandarin Blueprint but free).

Some study materials aren't going to act like they teach everything. I've seen chinese courses just for learning to speak tones better and general pronunciation - probably worthwhile if your goal is to improve speaking and a teacher could help improve the issues your having. But a learner needs to be aware for that course that they'll need to study vocabulary on their own, its JUST a pronunciation improvement course.
