Happy Magna Carta Day!

Magna Carta was signed on June 15 1215. Today is a day to celebrate that no person, not even a king, is above the rule of law.

The Magna Carta required England’s sovereigns to obey the law, just as their subjects must.

A total of 63 clauses protected the freedom of the Church, prevented the king from levying taxes without discussion and ensured legal protection – at least for some – against an otherwise tyrannical ruler.

The most famous and important of these clauses enshrined the right of ‘free men’ to justice and a fair trial.  

Although ‘free men’ at this time only referred to powerful landowners like the Barons, and members of trade guilds, this passage has acquired symbolic significance over the years.

Today, it is one of three original clauses of the Magna Carta that are still preserved in British law.  

-

The U.S. Constitution was greatly influenced by the study of Magna Carta and other federations, both ancient and extant. The Due Process Clause of the Constitution was partly based on common law and on Magna Carta, which had become a foundation of English liberty against arbitrary power wielded by a ruler.

Just imagine... every time you talk to someone and you mention your name and they reference that damned song. You will despise that song.

Okay here's a little parody one-shot Oshi no Ko fic I couldn't resist writing. Kana decides to point out how Aqua's eye goes dark star sometimes. Also the mandated love triangle.

Staringan

[zeta-in-de-walls]

I seriously didn't expect to like Kana as much as I do. We're introduced to her as a little diva who's really entitled because she's a good actress but we're immediately warned that she's not gonna succeed for too long if she's hard to work with.

And fine, feel typical enough. She notices the main character and swears to remember him.

Then when she reappears, she's just grown up so much and I love it.

She's had it tough but decided to make herself kinder and became really easy to work with. She's thoughtful and takes both her own role and the production as a whole into account when she acts and tries to do what she can to promote quality even if no one else cares.

She's so different from her as a child. She's struggling but committed to considering the needs of others. In contrast child her had it really easy and treated others badly.

Of course, she's desperate for love and respect, its why she tries so hard for others, but isn't able to shine, that can't be her role so she must struggle. Yet its that very struggle that makes her so strong and endearing.

I'm blame this character for everything.

Anyone into Oshi no Ko?

This damned anime had grabbed my attention and I don't even like it that much but now I've written like four fanfics for it. How does this happen?

So it seems like some of you might be interested in learning more about Dreamwidth.

Listen, here's the thing: Dreamwidth is not slick. It is not fancy. Its base code was originally put together some two decades ago or more, and it looks like it. It can't do much with images and definitely not with video—like, I think there's some way to embed video, but I have no idea how to do it, and hosting it on Dreamwidth is, uh...

The point is! Dreamwidth is a lot different from Tumblr. It's closer to Tumblr than it is to Facebook or Instagram, but it's a lot more old-school internet than Tumblr is. And that means that, for anyone who wasn't on the internet some ten, fifteen years ago, there's probably going to be a steep learning curve. It can take more effort to post things there, and more effort to find your people, its image hosting capacity can charitably be described as both "limited" and "poorly organized", and overall it may still never be the kind of website where you, personally, will want to spend a lot of time or do a lot of things. Dreamwidth does not and will never have an app, for pretty much the same reasons as AO3.

But there is one thing I can guarantee, and that is that Dreamwidth is willing to fight for us and our rights. They're already doing so.

Woah, that's actually really cool. It's a nice article and I really appreciate how Tommy genuinely seems to want to reject that txoic culture he's obviously very aware of. He's never taken himself too seriously but he does take his platform and the effect he might hvae seriously which is cool.

TOMMY’S IN A TIMES ARTICLE……?

"Guy who knows the protagonist from way back when and just fucking hates them for some reason and is constantly trying to re-litigate some ancient beef" is an undervalued tool for expository worldbuilding.

[zeta-in-de-walls]

To a certain extent this even happens with music.

The other week I suddenly remembered (to my shame xD) that I enjoy Fall Out Boy. And for a week I listened to nothing else. Then I was done and now I have absolutely no interest in listening to them right now. I haven't stopped liking them or anything but I'm not presently in any way obsessed so that's it.

The things I like never change just, sometimes it strikes me how all or nothing I am about everything I engage in. If I play a game, I will play it morning til night, in all my free time and then... not at all. Generally, anything I enjoy, I will become reobsessed with it in the future.

I find I can never like something casually. It's always something that seems to take over my life for a brief time (and in that time it seems like it will last forever) And then a couple weeks later (on occasion it could be months) I'm done and barely think about it.

I don't just enjoy something. If I bother to engage in something, I will obsess over it for as long as it can hold my interest.

shut up i’m talking patreon episode summary (only 7 dollars btw)

jack starts it off explaining the lead up to the situation and saying how dream involved himself out of nowhere. he said it was all very lighthearted leading up to dreams involvement (they don’t like mizkif or xqc very much but found the whole thing funny)

tommy said he didn’t think it would escalate very far and started off talking the piss out of it but after the 3 hour stream he realized it was getting serious. he didn’t want to involve himself with dream very much because a lot of people around him were saying that he shouldn’t speak to dream because of the way he took advantage of him when he was 16. tommy said he attempted to resolve it privately in the past but after the if youtubers were honest video dream sent him very mean and awful messages and after that he told dream he was going to block him everywhere (which he did)

jack says that it’s nearly impossible to resolve drama with dream privately because he makes everything public (and also it’s incredibly hard to talk to him) jack said that after the episode with phil he had a 2 hour long call with dream where they basically just went back and forth and nothing was really resolved

jack says that this episode was filmed right after dreams video dropped. tommy makes fun of the title (i’m sorry but not to tommyinnit). jack then admits that he does talk about dream a lot and he does it because he feels like before everything he was one of the only ones who openly disliked dream. jack says that everytime jack has criticized him in a non joking manner it hasn’t been a rumor. the only time jack has mentioned pedo rumors was when he was drunk and a fan asked if dream was a pedo and he said he couldn’t legally answer that. he said he was drunk and put on the spot. jack said that though he doesn’t think dream is a pedo he does think that messaging fans is inappropriate and strange. jack said that when the allegations came out dream messaged in the discord saying they were false and said he’s open to any questions. jack answered saying that even though he didn’t think dream was a pedo it was a little weird to be messaging fans (especially underaged ones). dream talked to jack privately after that saying that the message annoyed him because jack was being skeptical.

jack then talks about how on dreams stream he said that he knew some rumors about jack but wasn’t gonna say them but then said that there were rumors about jack being unfaithful. jack said that the point of that was that when jack had rumors it was handled privately but when dream had rumors it was very public- which is incredibly hypocritical because dream made jack’s situation public knowing it was false but jack kept dreams rumor private in his own regard.

tommy then jokes about cheating on molly and then goes into the editor thing. jack said that it’s a lie and then passes it over to tommy. tommy said he has nothing to say because there’s physical evidence that he didn’t underpay them (actually very graciously paid them). tommy says that it feels very weird that all his private messages keep going public. jack then starts talking about how the unpaid editor situation was actually about him. he said that he was one month into doing youtube and worked a minimum wage job and asked an editor what they wanted to be paid and they agreed on 50 quid. they said they both were young and didn’t know how much she should’ve been paid and he didn’t make any money from youtube at the time anyways. he said that now youtube is his job and he is much more knowledgeable in appropriate payments.

they then bring up how dream skipped over george and also how the only clip he took from tubbos stream was the one of him agreeing with him. jack says he can’t believe that dream tried to “win” by using straight up lies and brings up how dream has a reputation of lying and he doesn’t know why he did it.

tommy says he said all he needed to say in the video and the video was meant for dream rather than the viewers (except for the promo at the end). he says that dream knows why tommy called him sexist and he said that there’s so much that isn’t out and it’s incredibly miserable. tommy said that he doesn’t wanna do this anymore and he doesn’t feel happy with youtube anymore because of the creators in the space. he says that he won’t be doing the whole youtube thing in a couple years, he will still post videos but he’s not gonna interact with all the shit going around, especially when the people involved used to be his friends. he said that the dream video was kinda meant to be the last time he gets involved with everything. he says that it feels incredibly childish and that he’s appalled that people are pushing 30 and are doing this. tommy said that he makes jokes about mega famous people being dickheads because it’s how he puts his feelings into words. he says that dream is one of the most self indulging person he has ever dealt with in his life and he cannot believe he’s been dealing with him for nearly 5 years- and he doesn’t not intend to continue dealing with him. he says he doesn’t find the whole situation funny anymore and he finds no joy in it- which he did during the logan and mizkif situations. he says that this is no way to live and it’s all pointless to be creating drama like this online and whenever he punches up he’s not trying to cancel anyone he just wants to make a joke. he again says that it’s all childish and that they’re both adults now

jack brings up that there’s no one sticking up for dream and how everyone on the server that has spoken up has disagreed with dream. jack says that a lot of them have felt this way for years- especially him

tommy said that he feels very manipulated by a lot of these people and that it took him a very long time to realize how manipulative some of these people were. he tells a story about when he was just starting out and he did the lobby spamming in a twitch streamers lobby the guy got super mad at him and invited him to call and proceeded to scream at tommy and called him the r slur (he was 20 and tom was 14) he said he was super shaken and messed up from it- but now he’s incredibly used to it and it’s such a shame that he is.

jack said that he started disassociating with dream after the grooming allegations because he didn’t want to be friends with someone who would privately message fans (which was the case). he said that he doesn’t like being grouped in with dream because of the dsmp because he’s bad for his image so he’s tried his best to make it clear that he doesn’t like dream and that’s about all he wants.

they then start talking about how out of the blue everything was. jack said that he would understand his involvement if they had been bullying dream relentlessly for weeks but they were literally talking about mizkif and xqc at the time and

jack said that he’s made his piece why he doesn’t like him and how you don’t have to look very hard to see the manipulative tactics to get people on his side. they both say it’s painful watching him do that. jack said that he’s going to continue making jokes about what dream accused him of because they’re so ridiculous.

tommy says that it’s sad that the only thing that dream took from tommy’s video was that he was lying. he says it’s sad to see everyone come out with there bad experiences with dream and he can’t believe it got this bad.

jack says it’s questionable that dream mocked jack for jack not liking him because of things he’s heard about him and he was gonna keep joking about eveything public about him because it’s funny. jack said that there’s enough that’s true that makes him not want to associate with dream.

tommy says that dream is an impossibly selfish man . jack said that the only thing he’s gonna give to dream is that he’s clearly incredibly socially unaware and genuinely does not understand what he’s done wrong- but that doesn’t excuse being a bitch. he says that people have tried to explain that to him but he just doesn’t get it. he also then asks how willing his misunderstanding is- because he most likely is aware of some of it. tommy says he lacks alot of empathy and doesn’t have guilt for the bad things he’s done. tommy says that it’s very easy to simply apologize but just keep doing the bad things and that’s what dream always does. tommy says he doesn’t take dreams apologies seriously anymore and he doesn’t forgive him.

tommy closes saying that he’s done with the drama and this is the last he will speak on it

[zeta-in-de-walls]

okay i guess a compilation for old time's sake what can i say i got nostalgic

yt: 1:01:37 twitch: 1h29m

Dream: "But Tom— I mean, Tubbo."

yt: 1:30:49 twitch: 1h59m

Dream: "I don't even know that this happened." Tubbo: "How do you not know if you called a woman a whore or not, man?" Dream: "Okay—" Tubbo: "What do you mean you have no idea if this happened. 'I have no idea if this happened.' What do you mean?" Dream: "Okay, Tommy— I mean, fucking..." Tubbo: "WHAT THE HELL, MAN?"

yt: 1:43:03 twitch: 2h10m

Dream: "...that company used child labor." Tubbo: "Then where's the proof? Because—" Dream: "Tommy..."

yt: 2:13:56 twitch: 2h41m

Dream: "It's the same thing. It's like— It's a response— It's like a critique of his critique, Tommy." Tubbo: "Yeah, but it's—" [sigh] Dream: "Tubbo. Oh my god."

yt: 2:38:07 twitch: 3h6m

Dream: "Yeah, exactly! I'm critiquing, To— Tubbo, I'm critiquing his critique."

yt: 3:18:38 twitch: 3h47m

Tubbo: "Oh, come on, man. Oh, come on, man!" Dream: "Yeah, well— I still— I still— I left that— I left that call, okay, Tommy, well— well, the difference is..."

[zeta-in-de-walls]

unfortunately (fortunately) i couldnt watch dream speak directly from his rectum to his mic with tubbo because i had class. whats the tldr

Heh you might have gathered what went on by now and I didn't catch the stream myself either (I was out with friends xD).

But let me write a summary of the drama so far, shall I?

So, as we know, Dream pretty randomly tweeted out an offensive tweet. It got immediate backlash and he wrote a lengthy reddit post defending himself.

Tubbo reacts to this on stream, maybe for 30ish mins.

Dream does a 3hr stream reacting to Tubbo's stream. He also writes more on reddit.

Tommy makes a 5 minute video addressing Dream.

Tubbo reacts to Dream's stream forcing himself to watch all of it in prep for a possible call with Dream though Dream delays to make a video himself.

Dream releases a 9 minute video. He also posts a couple more times on reddit. Oh and Ludwig also spoke about some older incident with Dream.

Tubbo spends an hour reacting to this video. (It takes so long because he spends so much time debunking the lies.)

So Dream and Tubbo talk on stream together. It last a few hours.

The purpose of this stream is for Dream to attempt to defend his video. It's a lot of denying any misogyny and wondering how Tommy could possible bring that up without evidence while insistent that Tommy could not possibly have meant the Caiti situation which Tommy mentioned the sentence before. Dream being so insistent on how Tommy should have brought receipts while Tubbo tries to tear apart Dream's own terrible evidence presented in a misleading way. Same with the merch and the editor thing. Oh and Tubo also brings up how Dream's merch brand profits off of queerbaiting essentially.

Needless to say things go in circles, I don't think Dream got the legitimacy he was looking for and failed to address any of tubbo's points. He definitely didn't back down or accept any of his own mistakes at any point but at no point did he make himself look any more legitimate.
