#Pro Version

[necarion]

A lot of software comes with a basic and a pro version. And that's fine, and you totally accept that the pro version has more features.

But there's sometimes when you're using software and the basic version just feels incomplete, and you realize they've turned off blocks of functionality, so it feels like a nerfed version, rather than a basic one.

Solidworks and MATLAB do this pretty well. You pay more and get entirely new modules and blocks of functionality. But I've been using software where it feels more like they hid a menu. Sometimes it feels like there's some basic functionality that isn't there, and yes, I realize what different people consider "basic" varies a lot. (In this case, the ability to place a text box anywhere on the page is a Pro feature).

And I realize that most software is going to be like that, so I'm trying to articulate why it'll sometimes feel different. And why it sometimes feels like it's trying to extort you into getting the full one, because the basic version remains really annoying.

i don't have the words to articulate it at this moment but there's something about the way that people have specific expectations for "authenticity" and will dismiss anything that falls outside them as a mangled, anglicised version of the thing when actually that is the older and more traditional form of something, it just doesn't match their expectations. obviously in my personal experiences i'm mostly talking about medieval literature here especially medieval irish literature

sometimes this is as simple as spelling – i've had people argue that the name "finn" is anglicised and it should always be "fionn" to be Really Irish, but "finn" is an older spelling, glide vowels are later, if you wanna go real far back it'll be "find" (nd in place of nn is an older spelling pattern). or they'll hear someone say "ogam" and assume they're mispronouncing "ogham" due to lack of knowledge of irish and not consider the fact that medievalists tend to use the older form of the word. or they'll Well Actually you about "correct" terminology which wasn't standardised (and/or invented) until the 20th century

a lot of this is defensive and the result of seeing a lot of people ACTUALLY get this stuff wrong and have no respect for the language. in that regard i understand it, although it becomes very tedious after a while, particularly when people sanctimoniously declare something "inauthentic", "fake", or "anglicised" without doing enough research to realise it's not trying to be modern irish and is in fact correct for older forms of the language

more often however this search for the projected "authenticity" is ideological and has much larger flaws and more problematic implications. "this can't be the real story because it's christian" well... that's the oldest version of the story that exists and it postdates christianity in ireland by about nine hundred years, so... maybe question why you're assuming the only "real" version of irish stories can't be a christian one? this is especially true when it comes to fíanaigecht material tbh, but in general there seems to a widespread misapprehension about ireland's historical relationship with christianity (i have seen people arguing that christianity in ireland is the result of english colonialism which took their "true" faith from them... bro. they were christian before the "english" existed. half the conversion efforts went the other way. please read some early medieval history thank you)

however i also saw someone saying this about arthurian literature lately which REALLY baffled me. "we'll never have the Real arthurian stories only the christianised versions" and it was in the context of chivalric romance. buddy you are mourning something that does not exist. this "authentic" story you're looking for isn't there. that twelfth century story you're dismissing as a christian bastardisation is as "real" a part of this tradition as you're going to get

#in general if you do not want christianity in your medieval literature maybe arthuriana is not the best choice #it is. so fucking christian #as for fíanaigecht. did they think st patrick was there by accident #the arthuriana comment took me out though. #the christianised versions. of chivalric romance. #YOU MEAN THE CHRÉTIENISED VERSIONS?? IS THAT THE PROBLEM? #anyway this is not a pro christianity statement this is a pro historical accuracy statement #medieval #medieval literature

without looking it up, do you know the basics of the chanukah story, meaning the history and reason we celebrate, as opposed to, for example, just knowing that it's a jewish holiday in the winter where we light menorahs

answer using the jewish options if you're in the process of converting

#nachi speaks #Jew blogging #chanukah #polls #pro gamer tip use the hebrew spelling & two english versions so nobody can start fighting about the spelling

I think I might have heard a nut crack? Here is a Nutcracker animatic I did on an ancient storyboard software that somehow materialized on my pc, it was probably dark magic.

Ps: the vid will probably take 3 hours to load :V

I just have to say this: Aegon the Usurper flying off like an idiot in battle while Rhaenyra does not, doesn’t make this guy a hero, nor does it make Rhaenyra a coward.

We need to set the record straight: Women don’t have to be warriors in order to be worth something.

This is just another proof of classic misogynistic thinking of TG stans. But they also prove to be highly subjective since they give “poor sweet innocent” Helaena a pass for doing absolutely nothing and being less than relevant even as a dragonrider. And as the ringleader of the Greens, I don’t think Alicent sat on a horse and rode off to battle in order to further her own ambitions. She started the whole mess and then hid behind her sons. Even after Rhaenyra took King’s Landing, the only thing Alicent could say was something like “Just wait till my son Aemond returns bla bla bla.”

Rhaenyra is a girl’s girl. Those who read the book understand that. The canon version of her never wanted to be a son (unlike the stupidity induced in that show). She was very feminine: always choosing to wear the best dresses with the finest silks, many pieces of jewelry, and she is highly interested in men. She was always proud to be a woman. She embraced it. She never tried to act like the opposing gender as a way to make others look at her as worthy of the throne.

I repeat: Rhaenyra was a girl’s girl and she was proud of it.

She was not a warrior. She never trained with a sword in her life, unlike her idiotic half-brothers. She was not even the type (unlike Princess Rhaenys). Rhaenyra spent her time doing girly things and riding Syrax.

Shortly before the war started, Rhaenyra suffered a miscarriage which greatly affected her health. She needed months to recover. This is the reason why she didn’t ride Syrax in battle, as confirmed in the book. It was not because she didn’t want to or because she refused to fight her battles herself (as I hear many TG stans claim in spite).

And even if flying hadn’t been detrimental to her health, why would she fly into battle? You think that is a smart idea? It’s brave, but it’s also stupid, and the usurper himself proved that.

Aegon the Usurper rode his dragon into battle to show that he’s a man’s man, and what did that get him? Injuries which prevented him from being able to move well enough in order to sit on the throne he stole. The only battle he actually won was against a baby dragon, Moondancer. A baby dragon who inflicted deadly wounds on Sunfyre and caused his death.

So tell me again how ‘intelligent’ the usurper was to fly off into battle himself and what exactly he has accomplished with that. What exactly is so “heroic” about that? The fact that he shows off his masculinity on a big bad dragon?

And of course do forgive a poor woman for not flying her dragon into battle like a crazy person after a miscarriage and several psychological blows in one go like her father’s death, her daughter’s death, her son’s death and the usurpation through which a faction of snakes stole the throne that belonged to her.

Do forgive her for lacking any combat experience because you know…she was raised a girl and has a girlish personality!

And do forgive her for not being an idiot and getting herself disabled, like her half-brother did.

#I am convinced that 90 % of the TG stans are men who have fragile male egos and feel the need to put women down #while the other 10 % are women who idolize the show version of Alicent because of Olivia Cooke’s beauty and doe eyes #team black #pro team black #canon asoiaf #asoiaf meta #rhaenyra targaryen #queen rhaenyra #the dragon queen #aegon the usurper #asoiaf #fire and blood #a song of ice and fire #the dance of the dragons #canon rhaenyra targaryen #anti hotd #anti aegon ii #anti aegon ii targaryen #anti team green #anti alicent hightower #anti greens #anti helaena targaryen #pro rhaenyra targaryen #anti alicent stans #rhaenyra i

sjm is actually hilarious for having the inner circle give Nesta a choice between being imprisoned at the HoW or straight deportation during their “intervention” could you imagine for a second if social services showed up at your door like whelp. you failed your wellness check. you can either go to this inpatient facility or option number two, mexico,

daffodils — s. snape

★⺌◞ : severus snape x fem! wife reader

cw : fluff.

plot : fluff with no plot, basically.

masterlist // sev masterlist

“y/n, darling?” snape softly calls as he enters his room. he had promised you that he'll be home early that night to make up for all the sex that they had been missing out on just because of his workload. “forgive me, love. dumbledore wouldn't let me leave the meetings today.”

“y/n?”

it scared him. why were you not replying to him? you were one of the― fuck it ― you were the only good thing in his life and he'd rather die than lose you or make you unhappy.

“y/―”

there were you. asleep. and dressed in his cloak. he would not lie, the sight of you dressed in his cloak, made him unbearably hard. if only dumbledore had let him go home!

at least, he could kiss your forehead.

he leaned down to kiss your forehead when you blinked your eyes. “sev?” you mumbled in a hazy tone.

“yes, my love. sleep tight.”

“sleep?” you make a small protest, opening your eyes. “but i am dressed in this cloak just to fuck my husband."

“baby, you look tired,” snape kisses you lightly. “we can do it tomorrow. how about we just cuddle tonight?”

“you must be the first husband in the world to deny sex,” you roll your eyes but smile. “how was your day today?”

“awfully tired,” he responds as he undresses his cloak off and lies down beside you. “i kept on missing you. you should not be allowed to take leaves.”

“aw,” you turn to pinch his cheeks. “was my baby missing me?”

“y/n!”

“i love seeing you blush,” you confess, placing your hand on his chest.

“so do i,” he pecks your nose. “i don't know how i got so lucky with you.”

“we're so corny!” you laugh a little. “we sound like kindergarten kids.”

“baby, i don't know about you but i certainly don't act like one.”

“oh, of course,” you caress his face almost seductively. “yo―”

“―mommy! daddy!”

a small knock interrupts you both and you realize that it's your daughter outside. hurriedly, snape opens the door to see his little angel. “daddy, i couldn't sleep.”

“aw, my sweetheart, come. sleep with mommy and i.”

he lifts her up and places her beside you. “did you have nightmares, tulip?” you ask softly.

“yes, mommy! real bad!”

without a word, snape dutifully hugs her and cradles her in a lap, softly mumbling. you stifle a smile. you can never get tired of seeing him with her. it was so unlike of snape to act and yet he did. probably people with worse parents would be the best parents and he was the clear example of that.

“what? why are you looking at me like that?” he softly asks once tulip is asleep in his lap.

“you're the best, snape, the best. i love you so much! we love you so much.”

his eyes soften. probably these were the words he had always wanted to listen to.

Saw your Mishanks bodyswap art! Very cute and fun! (Mihawk with a genuine smile on his face so so fun)

I imagine Shanks whould have trouble fighting in Mihawk's body at first since it's been years since he's had two arms

yes absolutely, i imagine that too! conversely, i think mihawk would have a little bit of trouble adjusting his balance and reach with a body missing one arm, as well. it's interesting to think about how they both would be forced to change their fighting style, and whether or not they would exchange swords.

mihawk's been seen using yoru with just one hand so he could probably pull it off with shanks's body. also interesting to think about shanks tripping up on having two arms until he naturally slips into his old fighting style again--or would he? because there's also the question of muscle memory, right? would mihawk's body automatically do things that shanks isn't predisposed to doing, and vice versa?

the other thing i find intriguing about body swapping in one piece is the question of whether or not your haki powers would switch as well. they say haki is spiritual presence, so presumably your haki switches if your spirits switch, but if it's the kind of spirit that's tethered to the presence of the body? then consider mihawk having the strongest conqueror's haki out on the blues, or shanks being able to use observation haki at mihawk's level, practically being able to predict the future--or mihawk, able to counter with shanks's haki-kill technique. food for thought!

#rei replies #one piece #mishanks body swap au #mishanks #akataka #dracule mihawk #shanks #akagami no shanks #red haired shanks #re: the genuine smiling #i also like to think shanks in mihawk's body would have this moment where he realizes his cheeks ache from all the smiling he's doing lol #bc mihawk's facial muscles arent used to doing it #and when they switch back shanks teases mihawk about it ('you exercise so many of your muscles hawky but your cheeks? they're weak!') #and he manages to get a smile out of mihawk that's mihawk's version of a genuine smile and it's softer and less wide but it's honest #and oh shanks is soooooo in love with him hahaha #BY THE WAY ALSO I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS OMG but in this body-swapped au mihawk-as-shanks would 100% shave for shanks #like hell is he gonna let shanks grow *stubble* on *his* face. dracule mihawk with STUBBLE? banish the thought!!!!!! #but shanks doesnt do it up to his standards so there's totally a scene where mihawk and shanks are body swapped in the bathroom #and mihawk is standing too close and shaving his lil pointy sideburns and mustache onto shanks's face #and shanks is having a crisis because that's his own face breathing too close and waaaay to intimately but that look of concentration #is ALL mihawk. shanks can practically his eyes--so familiar from the mirror and wrinkled with laugh lines--glow yellow with how #much mihawk looks like himself right now even in shanks's body. #it's all very strange. shanks has been attracted to mihawk for a long time but it's just blatantly unfair that the first time in YEARS #theyre this close again and it's shanks's own body that he has to look at. on the upside he supposes all he needs to do to ogle #mihawk is to look down. pros and cons pros and cons. #(mihawk isnt having a crisis. mihawk is annoyed that hia beard is easier to do in first person it is to do in the third person. #surely not having to do it reflected in a mirror should be easier and yet for some reason everything feels off! ugh.) #i digress
