Hi DD. I saw a while ago you posted your wedding announcement to Mr. Morwood (which I only realized when I double checked the spelling to send this ask is actually "Morwood" - he has been "Peter Wormwood" in my head forever) and the little magazine blurb said you were planning on a tri-coastal marriage. I wanted to know how that worked out and if you have any advice, bc I have a partner and all our friends and family on the west coast USA, and a girlfriend and all her friends and family in the UK, and it feels really hard, logistically and emotionally, to envision a future together with the tug of so much distance.

PS the Young Wizards have a very special place in my heart, thank you

You're very welcome!

Re the tricoastal lifestyle: We did it until we got bored with managing the logistics of it (which, frankly, was pretty quickly). The East Coast part of it, in any case, went obsolete with some speed when I realized that I was more or less immediately going to need to be mostly-on-the-West-Coast for work on Dinosaucers. This being the case, I gave up my apartment in Philly, and P. and I spent the next six months or so in LA. Then, when Dinosaucers was done, we headed back to Europe -- partly for P's sister's wedding, and partly for what turned into a fairly prolonged stay in England and Scotland—wandering around the landscape and hauling our (generally) very non-portable computers with us. (It was after all 1986/7, and there wasn't much in the way of "portable" hardware that wasn't an Osborne or Kaypro or something similar. ...Though I did write almost the entirety of Star Trek: The Kobayashi Alternative on a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100.)

We spent a fair amount of time residing in pubs (when we were between writing projects: like this one, and this one, and this one...) and in holiday cottages (when we weren't). I got very expert at wiring 1200-baud modems into half-timbered walls. I was nearly the first person to storyedit a US animated series from a different continent--via MCI Mail, ffs...!!)... but unfortunately the sponsor fell out of the deal for some reason; so there's a notch I never got to make in my belt. ...Anyway, we spent an autumn and winter in Scotland, in a cottage buried inside a castle wall (this castle, whose master was a charming guy—the family have since sold it on), and then in the spring decided it was time to find a place to sit still for a while. The only issue was to decide where.

Immigration to the US quickly fell off the table due to the irrationalities of the US Immigration Service. At this point in time it may sound bizarre, but UK Immigration was acting a lot more sanely (at least as far as allowing Americans to have "settled status"), so we got me as legal as it was possible for me to be without having been married to Peter for a lot longer, and spent the next six months wandering around and considering our options. Finally we decided that Ireland looked like the best fit for us, so we handled the necessary formalities and settled here. Five years after marrying Peter I became an EU national (as did he: due to the unique circumstances of his birth in Northern Ireland he was entitled to both UK and Irish nationality), and Ireland became our permanent home. I haven't resided in the US since I left in the late 80s.

...I don't know that I'm best positioned to offer advice on how to make such living arrangements work, especially in terms of friends and family, as everybody's personal circumstances are different. In our business we've fortunately often been in a position to visit the US long enough for conventions and so forth to see friends there, and catch up on how things are. I have no living close relations in the US, and so haven’t needed to be returning to visit settled family. Peter’s in a generally similar state.

But if I did have family groupings in the US who wanted to see me at something-like-regular intervals, I’d take a hard look at where they were located, and how near they were to the easiest and least expensive gateway to whatever other continent had my interest... and what it would cost to get back and forth on a regular basis. The other important metric to consider is how such travel is going to impact on your significant other(s).

...In any case, we’re fortunate in that we live in a time when face-to-face communication with your loved ones doesn’t have to be physical. There was at least one point where Peter said to me, absolutely seriously, “We’ve got to get married Real Soon Now, because the phone bills are going to kill me. ...Possibly even before my Mum does.”

Hope this has even vaguely helped! :)

i saw some fics on ao3 for daya x abhijeet but they're too much about their friendship without of any kind of homoeroticism, just like you

I was browsing through tv and came across an episode and got so nostalgic about how much I loved CID and also couldn't believe how I didn't realise that THESE BITCHES GAY

I saw your RRR posts (I haven't got to watching it yet but I want to, because of your posts) and I couldnt help myself I just had to know your opinions about daya x abhijeet

I took my sweet time for answering it.. and let me RANT now......

I guess I shipped Daya/Abhijeet even before i knew what 'shipping' was. See, this phrase called 'shipping' came very late to me.

Before that I knew I was reading Kurt/Blaine fanfics, Harry/Draco fics from fanfic.net, all I knew was that yeah... if you type " *character 1* and *character 2* fanfic.net" you get this amazing stories where these characters kiss and create a romance story.

And trust me when I say this, I remember there was this episode in CID where Abhijeet seems to have lost his memories, there was a bandage wrapped around his head... something like that but yeah Daya was this extra emotional towards him and I had gone absolutely feral.

I didn't know that there can be term called 'homoerotic undertones'.. I just knew THAT THESE TWO CHARACTERS CAN KISS!! and that was that but never found any Daya/Abhijeet fics sadly.

It was a slow yet process for to understand what 'shipping', 'ships', 'fandoms' meant. You know growing up in the 2010s when you didn't have regular access to phones, we all know smart phones was a big deal even 6-7 years back from now, growing up in India, we don't get to talk about such things with others, we just find out stuffs and rant about them online.

There was even a time when I had shipped random book characters as well. You see, I am a bengali, and you might know we have a quite famous fictional detective named 'Byomkesh' with his assistant 'Ajit'. umm for a reference Sushant Singh Rajput had done a film 'Detective Byomkesh Bakshi' and long long ago Rajit Kapoor also did a series on Byomkesh on DD national.

Hell I shipped Byomkesh and Ajit so much. I sometimes think on it and I feel so funny!

Even after watching RRR on theatres i had come straight to tumblr if anyone had picked on the blatant 'homoeroticism' and i had to dejectedly return back with just sharing some gifs from the trailer.

Then I found some articles how the west see RRR and its queerness and I knew this FANDOM WILL POP!! I came to see it had already popped off by mid April and still continuing.....

I believe there are many characters from our childhood, early teen years on TV, books, comics where we unconsciously saw THE GAY and shipped it, be it friendship or bromance.... And I bet we all have such 'not so successful shipping' experiences.

I am just happy that today I am grown up enough to see the gay and identify as such and come to social media to find a niche and rant about it, draw fanart or write stories! You realise I was 17 then when i opened tumblr and set up an AO3 account.... before that i was not apparently 'fearless enough' to open an account on AO3 and read the 'only for the users' fics.

It largely changed after Shubh Mangal Zyada Saabhdhan, for me, where i have come to find this large section of Desi audience to be in the 'lgbtq+ shipping community'. I think i phrased this wrong, not just shipping.. a community of desis being the lgbtq+ besties who find common interests between them! Because before this movie, I was mainly involved with non-Indian/ foreign fandoms and pairings.

BUT YEAH GO AND WATCH RRR NOW!!! YOU ARE MISSING BIG! not just the gay but also an amazing visually spectacular, well themed musical, action packed, well acted-directed movie!

(I had too..... just look at them HOW CUTE >///< oh dear anon you awakened this keeda in me)

#hah! nostalgia at its finest #I literally went down my memory lane #the desi og gays #cid #daya x abhijeet #rrr #rambheem #the new desi gays who have gone international

Seeing Def Leppard in concert for the first time

This was at Hersheypark Stadium, July 12th 2022 :D

setlist

Normally I post these "concert diaries" on my main blog but we're gonna fire bulletpoints at you for this on this blog bc DUH it belongs on here, and I'm gonna talk about the ENTIRE show, not just Leppard. It was very not perfect which is what made it perfect

I got a VIP lanyard, a HUGE tote bag, and a poster with my VIP package

behind the VIP check in tent was the Leppard museum tent (but only VIP people were allowed in there)

despite this I did see the flaps from the tent blow back a lil and was able to see inside. I saw the framed pic of Joe with the guitar and his bear feet slippers, along with one of his jackets from the Hysteria/Adrenalize tour

while waiting in line for VIP check in, I SWEAR I saw Viv walk by behind the fence (meet and greet was in the tent, so it seemed to track) my heart stopped bc WAS THAT HIM?? I'm like 75% sure it was him

I FINALLY TRIED THE DEF LEPPARD BEER!!!!!! They had it at the venue and it was DISGUSTING :D It tasted like ASS I'm not a beer person to begin with so idk what I expected but it was VILE and I dumped half of it just to keep the can that I paid $16 for like seriously guys my body was shuddering bc it rejected the taste so hard

I was catty cornered from the left corner of the catwalk

before the show(s) started, at one point to the left of the stage there was a VERY loud engine noise that deadass sounded like an airplane or helicopter was about to take off right next to it, and then suddenly a LOT of smoke just started spewing out from that area, like I couldn't see 20 feet in front of me as this sound got louder and we STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS BUT IT SCARED THE SHIT OUTTA ME

Classless Act (opening act) played maybe 2-3 songs and were only on for ten (10) minutes MAXIMUM bc it started pOURING :DD I feel so bad for them bc they got did dirty by mother nature but I was jumping and screaming for them and I have a pic of the singer pointing right at my camera

me and Rachel got absolutely fucking soaked to the bone it was hysterical (pun not intended)

the venue made EVERYONE shelter under the stands for like 20 minutes while it briefly thunderstormed

it was HELL trying to get back onto the field and not even half of everyone was out yet and they made Joan Jett go on

I didn't know it was possible to shred on harmonica until I saw Bret Michaels

Bret is from the area so it was a homecoming show for him and most of Poison

Bret called the show "one of the best nights of his life" ;O;

Bret: *says CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIAAAA for the 43rd time in their set* the crowd:

Rikki Rocket blowing me a kiss at the end of their set

C.C. DeVille playing Eruption during his solo ;O;

the energy in the crowd fucking PLUMMETED when Crue came on LMAO like Poison HAD us and we were just :| when Crue came on

they were SO extra. Like CRINGE extra. As in before they came on they had a "national alert system" type intro video warning them that they were coming and red smoke literally filled the whole stadium and everyone halfway down the field couldn't see anything lol

Nikki was literally spitting on the crowd and I wished he would spit on me

he was also throwing open water bottles into the crowd

unrelated but Nikki's wife took their 3 year old daughter to Chocolate World and she's just had a blast it was precious

Rachel caught a pick from Nikki!!!

Vince was... yeah. He was mumbling half the time and you couldn't hear him half the time and he was out of time with the music a LOT it was uh... :/ I'll let you decide

they basically had strippers as backup singers and dancers plus the giant inflatable women... the objectification of women was extremely prominent, even in the poster for the venue

they also had a ton of sharp metal structures everywhere and for some reason Nikki and Mick's mic stands were... upside down and handing from the ceiling of the stage? at one point Nikki's was swinging back and forth SO BAD I thought he was gonna get bonked

Tommy called the crowd "Hershey squirts" and said he was upset that he hadn't seen one pair of tits yet, then proceeded to get flashed by a woman in the crowd, so he told the camera guy to put the camera on her, and this woman's tits were on the jumbotrons :| yeah. can't make this shit up. the misogyny was real.

anyway that's all I'm gonna say about Crue THANK GOD THAT'S OVER

the sunset was SO pretty before Leppard came out I hope it makes it into the Slog for this show (WHICH I CANNOT WAIT FOR BTW I'M GONNA STUDY THAT SHIT BC I WAS A PART OF THEIR LIVES LAST NIGHT)

the countdown before Leppard came on made everything finally feel real

the last song that played over the speakers before they came on was Joe's cover of Heroes ;-;

before the countdown ended I spotted Sav offstage :D

before the screen lifted I spotted Joe behind them and I frantically slapped Rachel and went "tHERE HE IS"

guys. guys. I could go on for ages about how absolutely ethereal it is to see them in person. I could. I should.

Joseph. Joseph. Holy s h i t is he the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Seeing his hair blowing back and his dimple and ugh. I was mesmerized by him the entire time I had to remember to look at the others

Sav's hair was on fleek obvi and his face is just absolutely SO pretty you guys uwu it's one of the 7 wonders of the world

Viv is precious as hell at one point he was "arguing" with this guy in crowd about giving him a pick and like crossed his arms and shit bein' sassy

I couldn't see Phil or Rick very well bc Phil was always on the opposite side of the stage so I could only see him when he was on the catwalk, and Rick was swallowed by his drum kit LOL

They opened with Take What You Want it was INCREDIBLE

I SAW SAV DO THE THINGY IRL YOU KNOW THE THING HIS SALUTE THING AAAAAAAA

Joe looking at the crowd and going "this place is fuckin huge-"

Viv playing the Armageddon It solo and kinda "kissing" the heavens (which, if you ask me, was a nod to Steve)

VIV WAVED AT ME :DD I forget what song it was but he was on my side of the catwalk and there was a little opening between the people so I leaned forward and frantically just *flutters hand up and down* and he smiled right at me and waved back with a nod I'm on life support as we speak

I THINK Sav looked at me, we made eye contact for a split second and he just kinda gave me the eyes ya know 👁👄👁 he just kinda made his eyebrows go up and gave me crazy eyes for a split second

Joe introducing Kick by going "K-I-C-K KICK *kicks*"

THEY PLAYED PROMISES THAT WAS A SURPRISE

if you watch videos of the acoustic set and you hear someone yell JOOOOOE when Joe first comes out, prob was me

Their set was cut kinda short I'm assuming bc of the rain delay earlier so they only played 2 songs in the acoustic set (This Guitar and Two Steps Behind)

Joe playing the end of Two Steps Behind by himself was absolutely an ethereal experience and I had THE perfect shot I could've taken but I was just so mesmerized by the view and the experience I just couldn't bear to look away for even a second. I might try and draw this view eventually.

This Guitar was SO GOOD LIVE I'M SO OVER THE MOON THAT THEY DECIDED TO PLAY IT

Rocket was honestly one of the best parts of the show

BOTHB/Switch 625 was a religious experience

Joe still does the stupid lil dramatic walk to the microphone like he did the music video for BOTHB what a dork uwu

by the way I know we all refer to Joe as "all legs" on here but oh my god. Guys. I can't stress enough how BEYOND true that statement is irl. Words can't describe how all legs this man truly is. I kept staring bc I was just like holy SHIT??? Like gODDAMN his legs are the only feature of his that HAS NOT CHANGED IN 45 YEARS

I wasn't expecting them to roll into Hysteria after Switch and then they suddenly did and I was blown away

Joe came out in a different jacket for Hysteria and it was kinda glittery

I almost burst into tears multiple times bc Joe is that beautiful and everything was that beautiful don't @ me

Also Joe's booty DO BE POPPIN THO you gotta believe me when I say I wasn't TRYING to look but it caught my eyes bc 👌 boi

Joe did this new ending to Hysteria that I can't really describe you'd just have to watch it yourself (this isn't from my show bc no one uploaded it yet, start watching at like 1:30 it's even more beautiful than the Heroes ending)

Joe constantly doing the finger wagging like the dorkus maximus he is

towards this part of the show (I think) Joe was constantly holding his ear piece as if he was trying to listen to someone (probably telling them they need to cut the set short or not do the encore walk off :(

obviously in Sugar he did the "from my head to my- 👁👄👁"

crowd losing it whenever Rick was introduced

they didn't have an "encore" so to say bc they just went right into Rock of Ages and Photograph without pretending to leave the stage (the venue has a sound curfew we think so they had to finish up, especially with the rain delay from hours before)

Joe did the "AND THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME THANX FOR COMIN THANX FOR HAVIN US THANX FOR BEIN HERE DON'T FORGET US AND WE WON'T FORGET YOU"

When Rick came onto the catwalk for bows, he noticed me and gave me a peace sign ;O; (perhaps he recognized me? Lol as if)

me watching Joe til he was 100% out of sight ;-; until next time, hubby <3

I will ABSOLUTELY post all my pictures and videos later (I haven't gone through them yet bc I wanted to type this out first)

#def leppard #the bullshit tour #concerts #concert log #joe elliott #rick savage #vivian campbell #phil collen #rick allen #this means I've interacted with each of the guys EXCEPT FOR JOE UGH #met rick obviously #phil answered one of my questions in a q&a #sav gave me the eyes #viv waved at me #ALL I NEED IS JOE

My journey with Idol’s animes and mangas - Part 3

A new path of this journey has ended. Today I'm going to talk about “Kami Kuzu Idol” (or, “Phantom of the Idol”, but I don't like the choice of the english title).

BUT! First of all I want to say, I’m not a big fan of men idols. I tried, it is hard (but lately maybe is not), and I just can say the biggest company of men idols is Johnny’s, where you can find groups like Arashi, NEWS, Hey! Say! JUMP, Sexy Zone (if you saw Fuller House, you might know them) or King & Prince;

but I know there’s another one called DD Company, which has groups I’ve been told to listen (and are interesting), these being MeseMoa, *ChocoLate Bomb!! and Panda Dragon.

Okay but… Why am I saying this? Well...

Kami Kuzu Idol is an anime about a guy called Niyodo Yuuya, who is in a duet group with Yoshino Kazuki called ZINGS

; this guy (Niyodo) is an idol just because he thought it was easy money,

has the problem that he doesn’t give his best… Well, anything. Suddenly he found the ghost of the “Kami Idol” Mogami Asahi; we have them talking about how Asahi died, how she really misses being an idol (she died just when she reached the center as she said). After a small and involuntary action from Asahi (she literally possessed his body and couldn’t get out for a moment), they started working together

and making Yuuya a better idol and partner for Kazuki, because, yes, there was a kind of threat to both of them to get better (well, Niyodo) or Yoshino would go solo (and he has a bit of stage panic).

After the first live being possessed by Asahi, all changed.

I won’t lie, I hated Yuuya, at first he even wanted to overwork Asahi, but she wants to see him get better. Niyodo doesn’t know a thing about idols, seems to not pay even a small attention to what he’s been told at work, or about being a fan, so he won’t give a kind of connection with his fans, as idols do. So Asahi’s work also becomes a kind of “Let me teach you about this wonderful world, work, my never ending dream” (she doesn’t say this, is my interpretation of her actions).

A part of the anime is also “OshiBudo like”, this meaning that fans have a point to exist as characters. Mainly three fans, who are Niyodo’s. They’re more comic, but as I said about OshiBudo, they work for their idols; oh right, in this case the fans are all women…

Until a certain moment, because ZINGS isn’t the only group, another important (just one character to be honest) is C Grass. They are the biggest idol group in the anime, “The princes of the nation” or something like that. Well the leader Setouchi Hikaru, was (or better said still is) a big fan of Mogami Asahi, and he was looking to ZINGS, he found sometimes the same mannerisms of Asahi on Niyodo (I wonder what would he think if he knew the truth)

and he even threatened Yuuya to stop disrespecting Asahi in that way, this also makes him to try not use her a lot.

This anime was nice to watch, but tries to convey many things (i think) in 10 episodes.

Now a meme i agree with for most of this anime.

The important point is how it ends, saying that an idol is someone who stands on a stage and shines, so they make their fans’ hearts shine, and while the fans loves them more, the idol’s shine will grow, and as the fans keep loving them (this meaning after they are idols, whatever is the reason) they will keep shining; obviously this last part are heavier words as it refers Asahi’s death, and her surprise about still having fans that still love her; but it is applicable to that time after the day they graduate (leave being idols, specially if they become a normal person)

I like how Asahi explains what being a fan is, how a fan feels, how important it is to Niyodo, even though this dummy just realices it basically in the last episode.

The songs are nice to listen to, but i wouldn’t get all over that, but the meaning of some of these are explained at the last episode.

The opening was “Let’s ZING!”

The endings changed basically for every episode (well, it was more like rotative)

Personally I Liked “Uraomote no Duet” and “Hare La Lu La”

The 3D was used for scenes where they dance, but I found it a bit weird when i looked at Niyodo, personally i don’t think it fits right with his character design.

THEY HAVE DIADEM MICROPHONES! I’m sold with microphones at sight (please learn SHINEPOST)

I think I don’t need to say that Asahi Mogami is my favorite character; but also, without her there, the story wouldn’t exist as it is. She’s cute, a top idol, she really likes that work, and is really proud about it,

but not being annoying, that’s why she helps Yuuya; she has told even when she failed, stuff she doesn’t know about (skin care for example) and how she did it. She is such a pure soul.

Yoshino is a cute guy, the total opposite of Yuuya, like a lost puppy I'd say. You think in the first episode he might lack self trust, and is confirmed later. He does his best, maybe limited by that self trust lack.

The Niyodo fans are funny, in a way relatable, but not as much as the fans we saw on OshiBudo; because it is also a completely different ambient. You can see part of ZINGS 'story through them.

Niyodo is annoying,

but you may understand why he might think some stuff, how he does stuff. He gets trust on Asahi to even avoid overwork her, and to work in a way he can make her proud (specially last episode). At the end you learn to like him.

Hikaru is interesting to me, he’s a kind of tsundere fan of Niyodo; I don’t care about this point though. There’s an episode where we have context how he became an Asahi’s fan, and then an idol, and even how he got her death’s news. But my interest is how he became a fan, because my emotional state was probably a bit similar to his; I don’t want to put here personal stuff, but feeling empty, and not having such energy to even go to school,

and then having your heart filled with that magic idols give, is pretty important.

“We want the fruity level” you might think (yes, i think it is important to add this on every post). OKAY! The point here is the work Yoshino puts into not becoming a soloist, is not only because of his own good against his stage panic; he says it. Besides that, Hikaru is like a tsundere Niyodo’s fan, he even blushes a bit hard at one point.

The fruity level is “meh”, but exists.

With all said, it isn't the best anime, has one of the bestests girls, touches some light topics in an interesting way, gives a good laugh, and is casual.

I give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.

But it is recommendable, at least to be all “awwwww” about Asahi being a ball of cuteness and love for being an idol.

-CaMHH

Another Kaeya lover! Man I'm so happy to have found you, and we're both enfps?!

Anyways, talk about the Alberich lore drop.

saw your other ask and almost died out of excitement. saw this ask and i'm actually dead now, lol. am typing in the afterlife and god's actually pretty cool with all my bs.

BUT ANYWAY, fellow ENFP!! fellow chaos-sparker, glitter-eater and frog-poker friend, i can't believe this!! i don't get much interaction in the blog apart from my occasional new besties and loyal askers and you're a kaeya-kisser too!!!! sOBBING. SOBBING AMD CHOKENING FROM HAPPINESS' BIG BALLS.

i didn't actually know about the new lore drops, legit had to google it with confusion on my face (someone tell me how to find the lore in game). and oH GOD, MY HEART WENT SUMMERSAULTING AND VIBRATING FR. haven't gotten kaeya content in-game for so long, literally mihoyo or hoyoverse or whatever, please start treating this man better before i start arsoning industrial buildings (/j, don't sue me 🥺🥺).

i found it quite.. interesting. had mixed feelings about it. for one, am very disappointed since it kind of contradicts the secret prince kaeya theory, hell, not even that, it openly opposes it. was very big on that theory because i have an open appreciation towards taking audience expectations and handing it a giant middle finger before 360-ing your story (which is technically what they did by contradicting popular theories, but still, really wanted kaeya to have more dramatic flair bcoz i'm power-hungry, making him not a prince just felt like watering down the hype around him). also very disappointed that kaeya doesn't have that much content about himself since he's a free 4-star character, had he been otherwise then i'm willing to bet that rather than getting text only, we could actually get voice-acted cutscenes. but you never know, they could be saving all the kaeya-kisser feeds for when the story is nearing the actual end-game (khaenri'ah's open involvement and all). on the other hand, it felt very refreshing and a part of me felt... satisfied at the very least. we never actually get to see this side of kaeya in-game, we know kaeya the cavalry captain, kaeya the drunkard, kaeya your friendly neighborhood lonely sexy guy, kaeya with the step-bro issues, but never actually "kaeya, a citizen of khaenri'ah and a descendant of the alberich clan", you know? we know he's a spy, but we don't really get to see much of his thoughts and involvements regarding his primary objectives. so getting to know all of that information, it's like a whole nation unfolded in front of my very eyes. it felt like i could see and walk the lands of khaenri'ah before it had been wrecked to pieces. it felt like i got to watch a younger kaeya suffer and smile and be part of his nation, you know? really hope we get more content with this man because he deserves the whole god damn multiverse. if they don't plot twist him into a truly threatening force to the traveler and give him godly scaramouche-level voicelines then i will isekai my giant forehead against a truck and burn teyvat into ashes myself. that's basically it, friend! thank you so much for this. :DD

#genshin impact #genshin #lore #genshin lore #rambles #kaeya alberich #genshin kaeya #kaeya kisser #i apologize #yes i am excessively obnoxious and curse too much #i got too happy #sorry D:

Years ago i saw a post that was like "DONT wish you had bigger boobs because i PROMISE women with DD cups wish they were smaller bc of how INTENSELY PAINFUL they are and because of the PATRIARCHY 😒" like I am going to SHAME YOU for wanting to look different because I am SO MISERABLE about being the NATIONAL AVERAGE BRA SIZE

damn sis sorry + L + Ratio + see a doctor if DD cups are hurting you that bad + I have a bra specifically to make my tits more obvious + ur insecure about other people's bodies + all boob sizes are nice + i have mesmerized the patriarchy with my boobs already + you're welcome + breast reduction is a thing

#you are not being body positive you are just being a freak about other people #stop telling young girls with larger breasts that theyre going to get older and be miserable sex objects their entire lives pls be normal

Genshin and the greek gods part 2

Heyy it has been 2 minutes since I posted the first part, but I'm really into this theory of mine so let's continue where we left it :D

PAIMON AS KAIROS

*also called Caerus*

Yep u saw it right. This might seem random but let me explain >:(

(Kairos is also a greek word, not just a god)

"Kairos (Ancient Greek: καιρός) is an ancient Greek word meaning 'the right, critical, or opportune moment."

In existential psychology, Kairos also means "critical moment of decision"

(Kairos in greek nowadays means weather but I don't know if this is relevant for the theory)

If you think about it, at the start of the game, Paimon says that we accidentaly catched her while we were fishing? I'd be clowned if it was really an accident. It was the right moment. Perfect if I could say. Because just as we arrive to Mondstadt we already solving a catastrophe with a dragon. And as we go to the upcoming nations, we are solving all of their problems.

Kairos aka the right moment doesn't have to be always positive. And we faced some pretty critical moments in genshin. I mean, we were almost killed by Dvalin, the Osial, Childe, the Raiden Shogun ect...

The point is, that Paimon was always with us while all this happened.

"Caerus is represented as a young and beautiful god. Opportunity obviously never gets old, and beauty is always opportune, flourishing in its own season."

This statement is refering to Paimon. Can't tell me otherwise. Paimon is clearly looks young. Ofc that doesn't mean she is young...

But the one thing that really snaped me was this epigram by Poseidippos that is carved on a statue:

"Who and whence was the sculptor?

From Sikyon.

And his name?

Lysippos.

[...]

Why did the artist fashion you?

For your sake, stranger, and he set me up in the porch as a lesson."

FOR MY SAKE? STRANGER? Yes. Paimon is guiding us everywhere in Teyvat. Why? Because she was designed to do it. There is a theory out there that speculates the fact that Paimon was sent from Celestia. THIS PROVES IT. For the upcoming parts or fillers, I will search after who is Lysippos and what is Sikyon cuz this stuff is getting more and more interesting :o

Next part is going to be about this mysterious Lysippos and Sikyon if I can find any information about them. If I can't then I'm going to talk about the first generation of gods. Stay tuned :DD

Thank you for reading<3

Republican Debate: COVID Vaccine Question Blacked Out by Unknown Third Party

In the Republican debate on News Nation December 7, 2023, Vivek Ramaswamy promised to repeal Reagan-era legislation that makes the vaccine industry liability-free if someone’s injured from a vaccine. “People who have been harmed by those vaccines deserve accountability,” he said.

He added, “I think one of the top lessons we learned from that COVID pandemic is that free speech in this country is most important in those alleged times of emergency. If we had been allowed to openly debate the merits of those vaccines they would have been never mandated in the way that they were.”

He had other things to say, too, but no one saw or heard that part of Ramaswamy’s comments unless they listened to News Nation’s full recording on YouTube later, beginning at the 1:30:06 mark, when host Megyn Kelly asks him about Operation Warp Speed.

At that point, in the live version, the debate screen and sound are blacked out for eight minutes with, first, a dead screen and then five straight minutes of commercials, before returning to the final question of the debate.

The black-out caused an internet stir with comments on Twitter/X as well as in Newsweek, which referenced it as stirring up Republican “conspiracy theories” in its headline on the missing footage.

Rumble, which aired the debate for News Nation, denied blacking out the comments, saying a third party actually did it. “The stream on our end did not go down at all, but the feed coming in (the source feed from a 3rd party) failed for a few minutes when sending to us,” Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski wrote. “This is a different source that the TV channels got and we are unsure why the source to Rumble went dark for a few minutes."

A-T-3 176 Double Dee & Steinski - Lesson 1 (The Payoff Mix)

One month after the release of Play That Beat Mr DJ Tommy Boy launch their Down By Law Switch The Licks Mastermix Contest. Shep Pettibone was (and still is) the king of the Mastermix, his innovative mixes for 98.7 Kiss FM in New York were extremely popular and influential. There were others of course, Tony Humphries was given his big break when he stood in for Shep on Kiss FM, the Latin Rascals were getting their mastermixes aired on New York City dance radio WKTU, and in Chicago there was the Hot Mix 5 on WBMX's Saturday Night Live Ain't No Jive mix show (here's an example from 1983). In addition to these DJ only bootleg edits were being circulated by the likes of Danny Krivit and others, and Ron Hardy was making his equally revolutionary edits

Tommy Boy's mastermix contest offered the grand prize of $100, a custom Tommy Boy t-shirt, and records. They would also put the winner on a Disconet comp, which was a record sent out to club and radio DJs, and a guarantee of getting play on radios across the country. 75 entries were submitted, 10 made it to the second round which would be played to a panel of industry experts

"[Shep] Pettibone and [John "Jellybean"] Benitez were part of a blue-ribbon panel who downed pizza and beer at a listening party where the winner would be chosen from 10 finalists. The hot dance track of the moment, Shannon's "Let the Music Play," saw heavy action in the early going--since both songs are addressed to DJs, there was even a thematic connection. But the ninth entry didn't come from a DJ, and it didn't dip into Shannon's well, either. It did glance off hot dance tracks by Yaz, the Peech Boys, Herbie Hancock, Culture Club, and Indeep amid rap, disco, funk, and rock and roll classics too numerous to mention--as well as less melodic material from Humphrey Bogart, Dr. Saint, Betty White's dance instructor, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. When the tape was through, the judges broke into applause. They knew instantly that Double Dee & Steinski had taken mastermixing into new realms--or appeared to, which was good enough for openers."

Quote from Village Voice, Mar. 25, 1986

The winning entry came from Double Dee & Steinski. Both of them worked in commercials, Doug DeFranco (Double Dee) as an engineer for radio commercials and Steve Stein (Steinski) as a producer and ideas man. The kind of sound collage they produced wasn't entirely new. Cut and paste techniques and tape loops had been around for a while, as novelty by Buchanan & Goodman (The Flying Saucer, 1956), avant-garde by Steve Reich (It's Gonna Rain Pts 1+2, 1965), experimental non-music of Negativeland, and hip-hop (The Adventures Of Grandmaster Flash On The Wheels Of Steel, 1981 - to be fair this should really be Lesson 1, with a mix of Buffalo Gals as lesson 2). Lesson 1 is somewhere in between all these examples, it has novelty but isn't just a novelty record, it has the technical experimentation of process music, and it has breakbeats and blends that will be familiar to hip hop DJs

"So, one weekend we gathered up ten crates of records and camped out at the studio until the evening, and again the next day. And that was it, just the two days. After all there was no random access that computers gave us, you really had to work linearly from start to finish. We picked something to begin with (the top of the record) and kept asking “what next?”

"It was a real back-and-forth, and a true collaboration between the two of us - a beautiful creation from our hearts and rumps. Otherwise Lesson One wasn’t different from the work I was doing on a daily basis. But it was new territory and it sparked the discovery of Steve's unique production talents." - For two people working on something as abbreviated and ephemeral as commercials Double Dee & Steinski have been all over documenting their legacy in exhaustive detail. Here's DD writing about making the Lessons https://ddski.com/double-dee-making-the-lessons/

WBAI's Peter Bochan had a significant influence on Steinski, he produced spoken-words-and-music collages Shortcuts which he put out on tape

DJs love this record because Steinski is an obsessive record collector and he has incredible knowledge of records. Two more Lessons followed, 1984s excellent James Brown Mix, and people's favourite History Of Hip Hop Mix in 1985. The Lessons have charm and humour which you can't say for all of the hit records it inspired, such as Paul Hardcastle's global hit 19 in 1985, or M|A|R|R|Ss global hit Pump Up The Volume in 1987

Although not the first in hip hop the Lessons are probably the most influential and celebrated example of the cut-up style, taking cut-up to the next level, they really were an education for producers and DJs (later known as turntablists). In 2002 Strachild records put out The Ultimate Lessons compilation which contained all three of the original lessons along with another three: Lesson 4 by Dj Shadow, and 5 and 6 by Cut Chemist. The follow-up compilation The Ultimate Lessons 2 (the ultimate ultimate) has Coldcut's 1987 debut single Say Kids? on it. I remember this being the number 1 hip hop record in the UK on Mike Allen's National Fresh show for weeks. Say Kids? is directly influenced by the Lessons, it has the same wit to it and the samples have never been cleared. Coldcut would collaborate with Steinski in 1997. Say Kids? leads to Eric B. & Rakim's Paid In Full (Seven Minutes Of Madness - The Coldcut Remix) and the Double Trouble (Norman Cook and the awful Dancin Danny D) mix of Eric B. & Rakim's I Know You Got Soul, both from 1987. A year later the Dust Brothers produced Know How by Young MC would be released, and the first Prince Paul produced De La Soul singles would come out (on Tommy Boy to bring things full circle)

Cut-up wasn't confined to hip hop. For example Adrian Sherwood and Tackhead mixed the cut-up style with dub and funk, and Meat Beat Manifesto used the technique with an industrial sound. There are Negativeland's undefinable albums Escape From Noise and Helter Stupid. Arthur Baker, a judge for the Tommy Boy contest, would use cut-up on dance records like Criminal Element Orchestra's Put The Needle To The Record (with Wally Jump Jr), and in the UK cut-up was used by L.A. Mix with Don't Stop (Jamming') and S'Express, Bomb The Bass, etc... And how can I forget Deee-Lite

Back to 1983 and the Tommy Boy contest. As part of their grand prize Double Dee & Steinski's winning entry was pressed up on Disconet Volume 6 Program 7 for DJs in January 1984 as Play That Beat, Mr. DJ (Master Mix First Place). The duo went back into the studio, this time for two whole weekends, and came up with the James Brown Mix which they called Lesson 2. Double Dee & Steinski privately pressed up 500 copies of a disco with these first two Lessons on it. In 1985 they made Lesson 3 (The History Of Hip Hop) which Tommy Boy put out as a promo with the other two mixes, I think this was the is when their mix of Play That Beat, Mr. DJ is renamed Lesson 1 (The Payoff Mix). In the UK Island records (I'm assuming using the sub label 4th + Broadway) made an effort to put out the Lessons officially, they cleared all the samples but the rumour is they couldn't come to a deal over the Herman Kelly sample and the project fell apart. In the early 2000s the Lessons were put out on a comp and now they are available direct from Double Dee & Steinski on their bandcamp https://ddsteinski.bandcamp.com/track/lesson-one-the-payoff-mix-2016-remastered
