#trigger element

[jitteryfool]

While I get the intitial surprise and shock that Berenice and her cousin were sharing a sugar daddy and might or might not have engaged in certain activities together with Sterling... I am honestly kind of over all those 'sweet home Alabama' jokes or people just pointing out the incest and nothing else.

Like, yeah. Ok. We all read the chapter. Can we move on from that now? Can we talk about anything else, like maybe what the incestuous element added could mean for Berenice's character and backstory, what it might say about her relationships in life? Were Egaeus and Berenice already in that kind of relationship, or did they only play into it to please Sterling? So many interesting elements to be discussed from this chapter and the revelation of Berenice's life, all shoven aside only for a hundred same bare-bones exclamations of 'they were COUSINS???' and then followed by 'OH but at that time it was seen as normal!'

I'm just. kind of frustrated the mere presence of it is such a big deal I guess? It honestly doesn't come as that much of a surprise because well - it's gothic literature, as the webtoon has clearly established itself. Also, the character is based on 'Berenice' where they are indeed cousins engaged to be married. I would have been more surprised if Egaeus suddenly wasn't Berenice's cousin.

And I just don't see the point on dwelling on it so much for just being there or 'justifying' why it would be there by bringing up how it was different at that time, I guess. It felt, honestly, a little like some kind of moral panic, or more like, a lot of gesturing to make sure people wouldn't think you'd endorse the incestual aspect, even though it honestly isn't necessary because we all already know incest is bad and the story never made it seem like it would endorse it. Also, gothic fiction always had stuff like this, and I would love for people to finally move past the stage of just talking about how it's there and instead start talking about why - story-wise, character-wise - it would be there and what it means or could mean.

If u don’t mind could u explain how u unfucked redfin’s changes. because I was trying to help my uncle with house searching, but it’s literally so unusable now that he won’t do any searching himself. If I can set it back to the old layout for him then that’d be swell

Yeah sure haha! I assume you're talking about the same layout change I got (which is that the map switched to the right side of the page, and the listings now take up way more space than before yeah?)

It's actually easy to unfuck because the way Redfin did it was by adding style overrides based on a particular className added to affected Dom elements (pretty smart for A/B rollout, tbh).

Lucky for me that makes it easy to put it back. You can do it too if you do this

Go to Redfin

Open the Dev Tools (either by F12, or by your browser's menu > tools > devtools. You can look it up for your particular browser)

Find the console

Paste this text and then hit enter

```

const config = { attributes: true, childList: true, subtree: true }; const className = 'reversePosition';

const revertLayout = () => {     document.querySelectorAll(`.${className}`).forEach(element =>{         element.classList.remove(className);     }); }

const observer = new MutationObserver((mutationList, observer) => revertLayout());

observer.observe(document, config);

revertLayout();

```

After that it'll be unfucked!

(If you close that tab and open Redfin again you'll have to do it again tho.)

saw this junko analysis but tumblr won’t let me reblog it so i’ll just post what i have to say about their incest claims regarding this infamous dr0 passage here:

okay so first off a really important aspect of this scene that people tend to forget is that mukuro is talking to junko. to mukuro, ryoko is junko.

second of all there’s nothing incestuous about this scene. people just misunderstand mukuro’s character, the nature of the abuse she experiences at junko’s hand, and how that impacts her behavior. what’s happening here is the product of junko’s constant cruelty and withholding of love.

in this specific scene mukuro is talking to an amnesiac junko and for the first time ever she’s finally able to tell junko to her face how much she loves her, how she’d do anything for her, how badly she wants her to be happy while also reenforcing how special their bond is without being punished. this scene is attempting to portray her excitement and her obsessive nature when it comes to junko, which is not objectively sexual. op is labeling it and assuming it’s sexual, which again is not objective whatsoever.

an essential aspect of the despair sisters dynamic that people fail to recognize is that mukuro and junko aren’t just siblings: they’re twins. the bond and the love between twins is different and significantly more intense than a bond between regular siblings. in every sense of the word, junko is mukuro’s life partner: they were together before they were even born. they came into this world together, hit their developmental milestones together, grew up completely and utterly together until mukuro left for the fenrir. think about it: mukuro’s twin sister, her life partner, her other half, the person she loves more than anything and anyone in the entire world is addicted not only to hurting her in ways that cause her extreme emotional agony but to depriving her of the love and connection she needs to survive.

mukuro can’t express her love and affection for junko in a regular way because she gets punished for it. it gets in the way of junko’s despair so she has all of this love inside of her with nowhere to put it so of course she’s gonna gush about how much she cares for and understands junko to others. it’s a way for her to feel connected to junko. one of the beliefs that keeps mukuro afloat is that she’s different than other people, that she’s special to junko, that she understands her in a way nobody else ever could. (she’s right about those things but that’s besides the point). but junko will never let her feel special or feel loved. junko is junko so mukuro doesn’t get to experience either of these things naturally.

in a sense, mukuro is starving, and when you’re starving, your entire world centers around food. it takes over your mind, seeps into your dreams. your actions become increasingly more erratic and frantic the hungrier you get. that’s what’s happening with mukuro. she’s starving for junko’s affection and for an openly loving connection with her twin sister so it makes sense that she’d be devouring every little scrap of connection she could find and forge. it isn’t as odd as people think for her love for junko to overflow and take on an obsessive quality because really, talking about their connection is one of the only ways she can truly experience it.

i’d also argue that the use of the word “ecstasy” isn’t compelling textual evidence for incestuous feelings whatsoever, one because it’s a translation and two because even if it’s exactly the same in the original language as it is in the translation the use of awkwardly ostentatious language fits with the convoluted writing style and exaggerated descriptions that are consistent throughout the text. the verbs and modifiers are so overdone it almost becomes difficult to follow at times.

by definition, “ecstasy” is “a state of extreme happiness or pleasure,” which isn’t inherently sexual. it’s a word commonly associated with sexual pleasure, but it has other unsexual connotations as well. it gets its sexual connotation because it’s often used when describing the sensation of physical sexual stimulation or an orgasm, of which mukuro is experiencing neither, obviously. if we’re attempting to deduce why a translator would choose the word “ecstasy,” its more likely because of its connotation to a drug high. throughout the franchise despair is given an addictive almost drug like quality that induces feelings of euphoria and extreme pleasure. mukuro isn’t just talking about her connection to junko but also junko’s connection to despair, so technically that checks out.

personally i think it’s most likely just another example of the ostentatious hyperbolic word choice and style we see throughout the text as well as just mukuro being strange lol. she’s definitely an obsessive weirdo but there are reasons for that that make significantly more sense than incest.

if this were truly the objective analysis that op claims it to be, the fact that that dr0 passage is taken from a fan translation of the text would’ve been taken into account. indirect implications hinging on word choice can easily become muddled by the translator’s bias, personal interpretation of the text, and writing style, which is especially relevant in this case considering that the translation isn’t official.

also…their doubling down on the fact that despaircest is so objectively present in canon that they don’t want to hear otherwise from anyone is bizarre. it’s an incredibly odd hill to die on for someone who allegedly doesn’t like despaircest. my “objective analysis” is that thou doth protest too much.

I really really appreciate seeing people explicitly talk about Kabru’s PTSD & survivor’s guilt and name them as such it’s really nice… not that people necessarily need to use specific terms to discuss his character well but it’s genuinely nice to see it recognized that he isn’t just a Funny Hater Guy or an Overbearing Asshole & also that his fucking canonical trauma is absolutely foundational to his motives and character

ill write more later but my idea on this is we often have other triggering real life topics on QSMP (fighting, drug use, child death, child abuse, etc) and homophobia is just like one of those

i get many in the qsmp community would get triggered by it and its fair to just want to leave when it comes up

lets be aware its a gay man doing it to two straight dudes pretending to be gay in rp. No one is seriously getting triggered by it in game

I can imagine a scenario during the war where Wu, Acronix, and the previous EM of Ice are all meant to be the seers of the Elemental Alliance, and they're all huddled around a bunch of Spirit Smoke, trying to trigger any possible future outcomes/visions.

Working on my javascript for my web page. Turns out I have the perfect kind of setup to accomplish some of the project requirements, specifically with even handlers and user interactions

My website, conceptually, will load a different employee details page depending on what employee name is clicked on. But I need to load it dynamically (instead of hard-coding it) so that the user can add or delete employees & it'll be able to still load the relevant shit.

So! Only one employee details page, but depending on how it's loaded, it'll load a different employee's information. Still working on getting down Exactly how to do it (I'm thinking using URL parameters that'll read a different object depending on what ID is used)

It's entirely doable. In fact, it's probably extremely common to do in web pages. No one wants to hard-code information for every new object. Of course not. And thus the usefulness of dynamic javascript stuff.

I can do this. I can very much do this.

I don’t know why I made this tbh. I liked the movie and thought this would be fun. It was. Kiyotaka gave me fire vibes.
