#it's all context clues

[grapejuicegay]

There’s a lot of stuff in this show that is obvious in hindsight through context clues which starts to make sense after we get the added context.

One major one would be Akk and Ayan’s first conversation in the teachers’ bathroom. The tension there makes a lot more sense when you know that Akk knows Ayan just saw him set off the car.

But we also have a lot of context that a lot of characters don’t have. Here are a few examples:

Thua doesn’t know that Wat has been watching Kan look at him for a while now. Thua didn’t see the look of devastation of Kan’s face when he was talking to Ayan.

Wat was the only one who noticed Akk was trying to side with Waree in the class to try and settle things. Most people do still think Akk is just a suck up

Almost nobody has seen Namo be shady

To date nobody knows why Kan was late to class because he got in a fight

Nobody knows Wat is making a short film 

Kan knows about Akk and Ayan but Wat and Akk don’t know about Kan and Thua

Wat doesn’t know about Akk and Ayan - not really

Nobody outside Chadok’s office knows that Dika is dead 

Thua took over the curse from Akk very quicky - there wasn’t a lot of downtime between those two events. Even for people looking into who is behind it, it’s the same person. That’s why even though Akk almost set the school on fire it seems like escalation because he didn’t, and the banner was more drastic and public than throwing paint on the posters.

And in that same vein, Thua never knew that Akk was being brainwashed, or that he had decided to stop the curse, or that he had changed his position and beliefs. For the most part, if anyone knew that outside of Ayan or Wat or Kan, it was The World Remembers because Akk quietly apologised to them the last time he took their things - it was the most he could do.

Thua had no way of knowing. From his perspective, it was all still going.

#yes this is a defense of thua fight me #thua being behind the curse also wasn't a surprise #i saw that coming in ep 10 #he'd been gearing up to a fight for a WHILE #and they TOLD us in ep 10 that it was him #it's all context clues #it's been building since ep 1 with his snarky interaction with kan on that bench #kan: you should have said it nicely; thua: you wouldn't listen #it's been a looooong time coming #were his methods wrong? yes #but he's like a caged cornered animal lashing out #(also if you want to talk about how thua outing akk and ayan wasn't okay #p'golf agrees it's on their twitter #but this is a fictional teenager FINALLY lashing out some shit is bound to go wrong) #the eclipse #eclipse series

"jason never wore pants as robin" WRONG he actually has a really silly-looking bright yellow winter costume that he shows up in One time ever. which is even funnier

#okay don't quote me on “one time ever” i haven't read All of his appearances #i'm using context clues #it's actually growing on me a little i'm ngl #batman (1940) annual 13 #dc #dc comics #comics #batfam #jason todd #robin #jason todd robin #batman #bruce wayne

sudden yearning for time travelling teen jiang fengmian lands at lotus pier fic that winds up being about a perfectly nice kid having a varying series of "oh no. i don't like that. that's a lot" reactions.

#i think in order for this to be satisfying i have to give grace and interiority to teenmian #i'm picturing an older teen like 18ish? maybe even early 20s? #big crush on csr he's already pretty sure isn't going to work out #but at least he'll always have wei-xiong #anyway this is my ploy to give jfm a chance at an ugly crying meltdown #he's trying so hard to be even keeled and like #maybe take this as an evil vision designed to teach him something #but somewhere in between my crush stole my man and then they died #my whole sect burned #my grown ass son who is older than me making the vibe sooooo weird #and my grandson! child of my dead???? daughter?????? #is just like yeah he never talks about you. no never never #and then wwx blows into town and idk somehow they all end up at dinner together and jfm politely calls lqr a punk ass bitch in front of lwj #because what???? context clues suggest lqr has the fucking nerve to not like wei xiong's baby after All That #only for adult son with the weird vibes #to imply only filial piety is keeping him from naming the real #punk ass bitch #anyway this ends with jfm crying because clearly he marries yuanyuan and she HATES HIM and then his own son ALSO HATES HIM #and would rather stupid Lan-er-gongzi #be his dad. #if you like lqr so much why don't you just join the lan sect then????? #and that's how jc learns he didn't get it all from his mama #jc didn't mean it he was stressed! this isn't his dad it's an a-ling sized kid. but it's still stressful

The disproportionate hate show!Criston gets is so bizarre. No argument I’ve seen his haters make sofar has made any sense to me.

He is outside of Mysaria the only siginficant lowborn character we meet. He rises up from the son of a steward of a minor house to the position of King‘s Guard thanks to Rhaenyra, who then pressures him into having sex with her, sth that could get him executed. Afterwards she not just rejects his proposal, but laughs in his face.

And when as a result of this experience Criston is shown to be emotional distraught and bitter, people call him an incel? (I assume that they refer to his ideology and not his actual status as a celibate, because not being celibate is literally what started this mess)

It really rubs me the wrong way, when people remove all context from this situation. A lower class person getting a well-off position from a person with authority, who they then end up having sex with is ALWAYS a relationship with a power imbalance (Obviously there are irl relationships like this, who work out and manage to be relatively healthy, but that doesn‘t remove the imbalance of power and the increased likelyhood of abuse).

We see Criston‘s reluctance when Rhaenyra makes her move. It does not matter if Criston was attracted to her or not. The simple fact that he is in a vunerable position makes him denying her a risk. It also does not matter that Rhaenyra had no malicious intentions, the simple fact that she ignores Criston‘s refusal and continues pressuring make this whole scene super uncomfortable. Her ignorance and naivety does not erase the impact of her actions.

Criston growing to hate her afterwards is perfectly justified.

As a man who grew up in Westerosi society, he inevitably holds misogynist beliefs, which is reflected in the insults he uses after this. But compared to the acts of every single character on this show, singling out his character is pretty ludicrous, when we have plenty of male (and female) characters who have done worse:

Like commiting SA (Viserys, Aegon), grooming young girls (Viserys again! I really hate this man, Daemon, Otto, Corlys and Rhaenys because telling your daughter she has to sleep with a grown man when she is 14 is pretty much the same thing Otto does to Alicent) and the only major crime Criston is guilty of sofar: murder (Daemon killed his wife and the servant in Driftmark, also he did large scale police violence which people love to forget about, Rhaenys killed potentially hundreds of smallfolk at the coronation)

Obviously, anybody is allowed to dislike whatever character they want, but a lot of people flatten Criston into just a misogynistic bitter incel who is just mad that Rhaenyra has sex, ignoring every bit of context we get for his behaviour.

This becomes escpecially weird, when those same people have no problem stanning Daemon, who calls his 1st wife a „bitch“, „uglier than sheep“ and then murders her, because he sees her as inferior as a none-valyrian. But Criston calling Rhaenyra, a person he feels personally wronged by, a „spoiled cunt“ is apparently a too far.

It is just really frustating when the character with the canonically lowest social standing gets afforded the least amount of nuance by the fandom (the writers are obvs not excempt from this criticism either).

#There are also people who like to bring up Christon‘s age relativ to Rhaenyra and accuse him of being predatory towards her #This is dumb because for one this still doesn‘t erase the power imbalance #Nor has Christon ever been shown to make an inappropriate move towards her #Also them having a significant age gap in the show is debatable (book Criston is another matter) #We never get a clear age for Christon Fabien never being aged up doesn‘t help either #But based on context clues he is relatively young when we first meet him #He is a knight and fought in one war that doesn‘t mean anything when we have characters who are 16 and are full fledged knights in asoiaf #So he might be anywhere from 18/19 to early twenties when Rhaenyra is 14 in ep1 #Rhaenyra in the ep4 is 18 so at most Criston would be 25 #Compared to all of Rhaenyra‘s relationships this is fine actually realistically she and Harwin would have had a similar age gap #And that relationship is broadly regarded as her most healthy relationship #hotd #house of the dragon #criston cole #pro criston cole #rhaenyra critical #anti rhaenyra targaryen

*fandom blind meaning you either have never watched/read/played and/or only know broad strokes of the story

#fanfic #fanfiction #feel free to reblog!! i wanna know #im very curious about this bc some people have never considered it and i do it all the time #for research/tropes/scratching a fanfic itch #or when i find an author whos work i really enjoy #i enjoy figuring things out through context clues or wiki-sleuthing as i go but im aware im probably an outlier #and i read an extraordinary amount + pretty fast #anyway #rambles

Hiiiii guess who finished her pmv. finally. um enjoy :3

#asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #valyrianscrolls #cersei lannister #and a bunch of others I don't feel like tagging them #wrote some of them in the desc if you scroll past my ramblings. the others I hope you can tell by context clues i believe in u #my art #pmv #it's finally joever oh my god #i dont want to look at it ever again. this is my child and I'm abandoning it at your doorstep 🏃‍♂️💼 #btw confession time I started this before finishing adwd so like if you notice book inaccuracies. just ignore it #tbh towards the end i was just kinda going off the song lyrics more than anything #also like her hair should not be that long I think. the show poisoned my brain bc they do fuck all for like a year post walk #n e way ill talk about it more tomorrow probably. im gonna be so annoying about this btw I WILL force you to watch it #istg if it flops 🔪

Update! A kind soul over on twitter let me know that there are pretty reliable AI art checkers online, that have been developed by people specialising in AI and machine learning!

An NYT article also talks about the pros and cons of a number of them.

I tested all the 3 free open access sites (Illuminarty, Optic AI or Not, Umm-Maybe) and only Illuminarty and Optic AI or Not gave consistent results on both art and photographs.

I'll put the links below so anyone can go and check for whichever art they want to (download the original images from tumblr posts, and upload them)

https://www.aiornot.com/#home

https://app.illuminarty.ai/

These are the results :

Optic flagged it as AI immediately.

But Illuminarty had very interesting aspect : when I uploaded the full image, AI probability was 10%. but, on cropping out the bottom of the image (jacket) the probability jumped to 73.9%

This is consistent with my original comment on the art here

My limited understanding of these programs indicate that they scan the entire image including all the individual pixels. AI programs like Stable Diffusion, Mid Journey, DallE all leave signal artifacts when they process an image, which is then left on the final pic generated!

Compare these two @/skykashi original arts, that are immediately flagged as human made.

And now I get to my favourite AI art bro in the fandom @madasama! I commend you for admitting that you not only use AI, but are proud of producing a large number of "real" arts in such a short time!

Here's your "art"s results!!

@elhnrt made a far more detailed and organised post about this specific weirdo, feel free to check it out!

I will be using fandom tags on this particular post so that it has a broader reach. Especially for genuine digital artists and art lovers. Save the links, and always keep an eye out for AI, it's everywhere these days.

#Naruto #Fanart #Digital art #Anti AI #say no to ai art #Fandom #Tumblr #AI resources #Idk if tumblr is gonna eat up this post on the tags #But it's worth a try #Also since I've been accused of trying to spread misinformation without 'solid proof' #Here's an attempt from verified widely used websites that anyone can access free of cost #The NYT article was a great resource #It talked about the pros and cons and limitations of each site #Worth a read tbh #These AI checkers are not 100% guaranteed to give accurate results all the time #It's best to check with multiple AI flaggers and compare results #And also with context clues like the artstyle skill set and frequency of posting arts of the acc in question

[gale-force-storm]

You know, I think my favorite thing about Gale's whole "watching you in battle makes me horny" scene is like. He's not wrong. A brush with danger does in fact increase one's desire for "other forms of stimulation". Studies have shown that being in situations that cause a rush of adrenaline, be that going on a roller coaster, seeing a scary movie, walking across a swinging suspension bridge, or something else, increase feelings of attraction. It's literally a Known Thing that adventurous stuff is great to do on a date because it will most likely make you more into each other.

Idk, I just love that his come-on is not only extremely nerdy, but also scientifically accurate. Feels correct and I'm glad they did it lol

#gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #meta #i would pull up the studies about it but frankly it's nearly midnight and i'm halfway through a bottle of wine #and i do not feel like looking them up right now lol #sorry to get all couples therapist on main i was just going through that scene again and it really tickles me #like yes please have my sweet nerdy man hit on me with only the most research-backed of statements please and thank you #for those curious btw it's thought the reason for this is because physically speaking all arousal is basically the same #whether it's fear or horniness or excitement or whatever it's all an adrenaline response #so our brains use context clues to determine which emotion to pair with the sensation #and if you pair something scary/thrilling with a possible romantic interest your brain can get its wires crossed #and decide that instead of feeling this way because of the scary thing you feel this way because your hot for the person you're with

relooking at this photo and i zoomed in on the watch. it’s set for 7:50 and judging by the lighting from the windows, it looks like this still is in the morning.

eddie is wearing the red long sleeve henley here. he’s also wearing the red long sleeve henley in these stills:

i think chris is going to leave with the parents in the morning, which could possibly mean that this happens in the beginning of the episode.

now i’m not quite too sure if chris will be totally gone after this point, considering we see the diaz parents while buck and eddie are dressed in their hospital outfits:

however, if you zoom in on the watch in the still where eddie has his head in his hands ^, the watch looks like it says the same time 7:50 and the lighting looks the same

maybe same time, next day? maybe LA is just still super sunny at night?? no idea but i, personally, am scared.

ough this interaction. also the fact that morgan is the one who calls hotch a drill sergeant in revelations and it's what hotch repeats to him here,,the implication that at least part of him was genuinely hurt by the team all naming what they thought was his worst quality. any reminder that hotch is human hits me in the gut. also hotch and morgan's dynamic... the begrudging respect that becomes admiration that becomes friendship. hhh.

#im not going “oh the evil team :( naming hotch's worst qualities just like he told them to :(” btw that would be silly #but like. even in the context of #reid having just named a quality he Does Not Have and hotch proving it was actually a clue (or more accurately a signal to pay attention #to what he was about to say) by having the team name his Actual worst qualities. having all your friends take turns saying what they think #your worst quality is would fuck you up a little i think #aaron hotchner #derek morgan #hotch & morgan #surprised i havent tagged that before #not fic #criminal minds #criminal minds rewatch #criminal minds s03e02 #in name and blood

[butdotheykiss]

the comments on the lack of subtitles for sign language in the same episode of heart's argument with his mom about her not learning sign language to communicate with him is so outstanding to me. like hey. the deaf & hoh community do not owe you anything.

#imagine only taking part in a conversation via context clues?? #WILD #thats how heart feels every day #what a concept #moonlight chicken #heartming #as someone who took asl classes i am honestly enjoying the lack of subs because im being made to WATCH heart speak #and hearing my own deaf teacher's experiences this exactly what she faces #its not just anger of people not understanding its anger for people not even trying #so cry about subs all you want but irl sl user dont have that luxery

On the outside I haha and joke but on the inside I have been crushed by two lorries driving towards me full speed

#fitmc #qsmp #look I'm not surprised at all #i knew full well that he was only going to be doing one more QSMP stream; that was pretty easy to pick up from context clues #but there's something about seeing tangible confirmation that is more than a little upsetting #especially because it's Fit #i will eventually make a looong post about my journey on the QSMP and the impact Fit has had on me #maybe after his lore #god. sometimes knowing you're about to be sucker punched in the nuts still doesn't help you feel any less sick and pained afterwards
