Currently losing my goddamn mind regarding the new D20 season announcement

#ramblings #9.23.23 edit: turned off reblogs because why are ppl still reblogging this is old now #dimension 20 #dungeons and daddies #dndaddies #dimension 20 spoilers #this is all jokes but in all seriousness I literally stumbled when I saw Freddie IM SO EXCITED #but mainly!!! this cast!!! is so good!!!! I’m super excited #like tbh Danielle was like my fave part of misfits she was so funny??? and I feel like she didn’t get much time to shine #and I think Trapp is so fun like he was so good as sokbarr #and Siobhan is always a treat #literally only one person I don’t know in the cast but I’m excited! #also the theme seems right up my alley

I also like the idea of Bakugo coming home from a long, overseas mission only for you to be surprised when you meet him at the airport cuz he’s twice as beefy and four times more scary looking.

#Bakugo #UGH IM IN A CAR so I can’t write this f*ck #but meeting him at the airport and being shocked he’s HUGE and a little bit shy abt it #and you take him home and are all quiet bc u think he wants to rest #meanwhile he’s all confused bc you didn’t seem so excited to see him? only gave him one measly kiss???? #and knows he gained weight and is kinda… nervous u hate it #and when you get home you’re kinda creeping around him #and he just bursts out to ask if you’re not attracted to him anymore or found someone new #and all you can do is like whisper #‘I am so attracted to you right now I feel like I could d*e’ #‘and I didn’t want to bother u after a long flight of other how wet my p*nties are’ #and then u f*ck like animals for a whole week #gen #shii posts

It’s such a small little thing but the queens reactions when Brennan laughed at the Michelle Visage joke made me so happy. He didn’t draw attention to himself or pat himself on the back. It’s like you could see the queens relax a little and feel like they could fully be themselves in a space they all weren’t really used to being in. They know they don’t have to appeal to Brennan, but it’s also fun to know they’re at a table where their work is known and respected and it’s such a small thing but it means so much

#monet x change #alaska thunderfuck #bob the drag queen #jujubee #brennan lee mulligan #dungeons and drag queens #dimension 20 #d20 #major props to them for all being so game and excited #dnd was traditionally a really straight cis male space and with everything happening especially the last year it just means so much #it just mad me really emotional to see them having a good time and kick ass without fear of judgment for not knowing the game #also I want jujubee to flirt with all of brennan’s npcs because big same #also does anything feel like Bob could make a great DM #like they all would with their hosting experience but Bob really seemed to be so tuned in immediately

I think Astarion should randomly say no when you ask for a kiss and you can offer to give him a hug instead. I think he should do that. I think that should be an option.

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #astarion #DEDICATED. HUG. OPTION. FOR. ALL OF THEM. #well idk if lae'zel would be into it but ... i think i could crack that horrible green egg #personally i think post-game spawn astarion is always down for an innocent little smooch so i have no horse in this race BUT #maybe sometimes he's in the mood for a hug instead?? what then?? #a kiss AND hug? now we're cooking with gas #headcanon that astarion says no to a kiss one time just to see how hira will react and they don't miss a beat and ask for a hug instead #and seem equally excited about it #so of course he gives them a hug and a smooch at the end cuz he 'changed his mind'

With pmd on the brain I wanted to replay the games, but I've replayed blue rescue team and explorers of sky a lot. So this time I decided to replay the game I played the least; gates to infinity.

#my art #fanart #pokemon #pmd #pmd gti #pmd gates #Pokemon mystery dungeon #Pokemon mystery dungeon gates to infinity #Snivy #Axew #My partner pokemon seems to get pretty excitable when talking about paradise #So I knew I needed to draw them with how I thought they acted in my head #big ol sparkly eyes and a tail that thumps the ground when they get all happy and excited

My thoughts on how the Milgram mv machine works based on the evidence we have:

(I know there’s been discussion about where exactly the interrogations take place, but wherever they are,) the prisoners are made to sit in a specific chair near the wall that houses the machine.

It’s ordinarily hidden, but the wall panels shift aside to reveal it when the mechanical sounds play in the dramas. As well as the walls moving, the chair transforms to restrain the prisoner and attach whatever it takes to access their brain. The fact that none of the more frightened prisoners try to run or break it makes it seem like they physically cannot. This is why Fuuta sounds so panicked, and why Amane is suddenly helpless in front of Es in their T1 vds.

(My mind conjures very classic sci-fi mad scientist machines with wires, pipes, lights, nodes, needles, etc, but I’d love to hear how other people visualize it.)

In some vds (maybe all? I’d need to check,) you can hear Es take some steps right before their iconic line -- it would make sense that for safety reasons, the power mechanism is placed across the room. Once again it could be anything, but the sound effect makes me think of one of those giant wall-mounted levers you have to pull down.

The voice dramas don’t really provide the type of crime details that an actual interrogation would reveal, and it’s odd that they’re placed before the extraction rather than after Es gets to see the new details. This leads me to believe the machine functions with priming. All Es needs to do is get them talking about their murder, so it’s on their mind.

The video produced is much like a (non-lucid) dream. Even if the prisoners figure out that this is how it works, they can’t control it just by thinking really hard about something else. The murders produce the strongest emotional affect, and that’s what it picks up on. If someone else used the machine, it would default to whatever gave them the strongest emotional reaction in the ~15 minutes beforehand, hence why Es’ video focuses on their daunting task ahead. (The Undercover theory is still a bit loose, though, given the private shots that Es wouldn't have known about). It’s why the videos are usually closely linked to the vd topics/beats. I also like to think that the reason their prisoner colors appear so much is because they’re looking at those colors on their uniform 24/7.

The bell rings to inform Es that it’s the optimal time to use the machine -- the prisoner has been thinking about things for long enough that the video will be about their crime, and if the conversation lasts much longer they’ll start thinking of other things. It’s at a different time for each prisoner because it’s based on the specific conversation. I guess Jackalope is listening in to the interrogation, timing it perfectly. (The only one that kind of messes with this theory is Yonah, because they just keep talking afterwards lol, but it could just show that the interrogation is still in Es’ control.)

Their “Sing your sins” is the final priming nudge to get them to think of their actions as a sin, revealing their guilt.

Once activated, the prisoner enters a sort of trance/sleeping state. It’s very much like REM sleep, with the machine forcibly activating neurons and recording the output. The prisoners have asked Es what they saw, meaning they don’t remember the mvs. I like to think the prisoners do experience the mv in real time, acting as the major version of themself that appears, but can’t remember it afterwards. It’s when you experience a dream, but as soon as you wake up you’re just left with fleeting emotions and memories right on the tip of your tongue.

The video plays immediately upon extraction -- whether on a huge projection or little screen depends on which room it’s in. It simultaneously saves the memory so that Es can rewatch it later (on those old TVs in the jailbreak mix). The machine downloads the song and video together, but requires special parts to retrieve them. The technology is pretty new and fragile, so if one is broken, there might be a delay between when Es can hear the extracted song and see it with the video. (That’s my justification for Kotoko’s delays -- after 9 prisoners the parts wear out, or maybe Mikoto himself overheats it with his complex situation.)

Based on the lack of conversation we get afterwards, I picture Es leaving before the prisoner wakes from the trance. The machine adjusts their brain back to normal before they awaken, restraints freed and able to return to the rest of the prison.

It’s very much like a dream, so it’s not harmful despite the amnesia/head injuries the prisoners have. It does, however, exhaust them. Brain activity alone takes a lot of energy, so forced brain activity with added emotional strain would cause them to feel pretty drained the rest of the day.

#milgram #👍👍 #if theres anything contradictory please lmk -- this is how ive been taking the evidence we have so i definitely want to rethink things if #theres a mistake #but also i just wanna hear what people have been picturing 🤔 #i mentioned it before but the jailbreak tvs really did shift my brain from sleek tech to clunky old scifi vibes #im also still partial to an idea mentioned a long time ago about the prisoners waking up to catch the last few moments of their mv #and how heartbreaking that can be for some #but i feel like it would make more sense if there was no direct interaction after the extraction since es is overwhelmed with different #reactions (from us) and the prisoners themselves are raw with emotion and fatigue #i like the thought of interrogations occuring in that big courtroom (seen in undercover and now deep cover) #but that room seems way too echo-y for the vds to take place in #and it seems overkill to build every cell with moving panel walls and access to the machine #so the jurys still out on that one #(also hehe im still so excited that my oc fits very nicely into all of this but i kept this post 100% canon compliant) #analysis/thoughts

Eddie’s VA is genuinely so great like? They’re all great and Frank especially has a sort of drawn out sassiness that I love but Eddie’s voice clips were just insanely good quality. I’m such a fan of all of the more subtle sounds, one of the ones I can really picture

#it’s also deeper than I thought it would be but I’m not complaining at ALL #I love it! it’s so fitting! he has no clue what’s going on most of the time it seems! what a man 💛 #that’s all I’m gonna say for a bit haha because spoilers and all that but yeeeee #lots of voices and it’s exciting to hear how they’d interact #but my favorite does hafta be Eddie if not Frank

I wish you guys could understand how much it sucks that this season really does seem to give the POSSIBILITY of something ACTUALLY shifting in terms of Buddie, but Kr*sten did so much damage and had me so pissed and scarred from the Season 6 finale that I spent this whole goddamn hiatus conditioning myself to stop getting my hopes up.

#911 #911 abc #911 on abc #911 season 7 #911 s7 #buddie #911 buddie #buck x eddie #evan buckley #eddie diaz #911 buck #911 eddie #no but seriously though #all the information I've seen in terms of buddie sounds so good #but im legit so traumatized that I can't even let myself get too excited #like im not saying I expect them to be canon by the end of the season #but at the very least confirm their sexualities and mutual pining #and even though it seems Natalia and marisol are going to soon become non-factors #a part os me is so used to you know who pairing them up with the next woman who comes their way that I can't relax #but now that Tim Is back taking the reigns #hopefully he can put an end to all of the comphet nonsense they put buddie through every goddamn season #here's to hoping #but either way #the damage is done #but I'm choosing to remain cautiously optimistic #god this show is gonna be the death of me

wow i forgot how terribly alone daisy is this season. she's basically operating solo for the entirety of 5a. she's fresh off healing from the trauma of the past seasons, and BARELY so. and then she finds out she's going to be responsible for DESTROYING THE PLANET. and then she gets back home and finds out coulson is dying. her usual support system has all but completely abandoned her. and NOBODY is listening to a single word she has to say or considering her feelings. she gets strapped to a table and has SURGERY performed by one of her best friends WITHOUT any anesthetic, and she begs fitz to stop. afterwards, there's nobody to comfort her and her best friend leave her completely alone to go support the man who just violated her. homegirl literally digs up her dead mom's corpse to even have a shot at saving coulson. and she does find a way to save him. but she has to ditch that to save the world. then fitz dies. AND THEN HER DAD DIES.

#this season HATES daisy #it seems like things are on the upswing for her in s7 #which i am praying is right #srsly s7 looks so fucking fun im actually so excited to get there #as soon as it aired and i found out it was time travel i became SO SO excited #and all the daisy edits w/ season 7 clips go so hard #AND TIME LOOP!!!! #TIME LOOP!!!!!! #mattie has drafts #FOR SOME REASON?? #aos #daisy johnson #save who queue can save

it's just so FUN to see how this entire show is just made by women and how this special episodes allows them to gush about the project and how it's just a silly goofy romcom with seemingly so much heart in it <3

My grandma is getting rid of her floor loom and offered it to me. The only issue is I have never even seen a loom in person. She got it 30 ish years years ago but it’s been sitting in her basement for I don’t know how long, so I don’t know what shape it’s in but I did find a listing from someone who has the same loom (X). Apparently it’s from a fairly local company and there’s only a few of these specific looms?

Im very excited to try weaving and have been watching Dolores Jacob’s Learn How To Weave playlist on YouTube and a handful of other videos but if anyone has any advice? Other YouTube playlists or books I could check for at the library?

#candy speaks #weaving #floor loom #idk I thinkkkk I’ll be fine it seems simple enough? #im just excited I wanna share lol #I might not even keep the loom #my pa wants it if I don’t but he want to disassemble it for the wood. it’s all oak wood so he’s hoping he can use it for something #but I kinda wanna see if I can convince them to donate or sell it to a ‘local’ weaving guild #even tho the closest guild is an hour n half away :/ #they were gonna BURN IT if me or dad didn’t want it but after I found out the kind of loom it was uh I think they were talked out of that 😂 #anyway I’m just gettin my thoughts out really I’m worried I’m gonna mess up the loom somehow or smth idk

I rewatched a few of the early episodes of spyfam today bc getting to see the movie gave me an itch to scratch, and in particular episode two made me finally able to conceptualize what about fandom twiyor that irks me so deeply. If you like widespread fandom interpretations of them I would uh, look away bc none of my opinions on it are positive.

Episode 2 of the spyfam anime remains one of my favorites because of all the little flourishes the studios add to sell you on Yor as a character while also expanding a bit on the manga's original commentary on the stigma that follows older single women. What draws Yor and Loid together as a family is that neither of them are capable of having conventional relationships. Both of them are war orphans forced to grow up far too soon and who threw away aspects of their humanity to fight for what they believe to be a better world. While Loid's position as a spy and mastery of deception allows him to avoid the stigmas that would come from the ordinary person discovering what he does, that is not something that holds true for Yor, whose weakest point is that she simply cannot understand "normal." She's aware of the way her coworkers demean her and insult her but can do nothing about it because her only conflict resolution skill is murder. She is constantly reminded that she is an outsider, hence why Loid's declaration at the party is so meaningful to her, and what convinces her to ask him to continue the facade as a married couple.

Underneath it all however, is a quiet showcase of amatonormativity that drove both Loid and Yor to their arrangement. Eden requires a student to have a perfectly nuclear family. Societal conventions dictate that Yor, happily single at 27, is someone pathetic (to her coworkers) or someone in need of help (to her brother). Marriage is an expectation that Yor is pressured to commit to, and a societal requirement that Loid must uphold for the sake of his mission. And while this showcase begins in episode 2 it is something that spyfam continues to highlight when it comes to the expectations both Loid and Yor struggle to meet when they try to hard/become to anxious over what is "expected" as a married couple vs what the other person is actually thinking/feeling.

Now, what the fuck does this have to do with fandom you ask? Here's the thing. Spyfam reached the broad range of anime fans when it exploded in popularity, which is when I started engaging with it beyond just comments on the latest manga chapters. Modern fandom already has the issue of classifying ships into tropes rather than actually like, shipping characters as they are. And that's exactly what happened with twiyor. People began going "oh my gosh this is the moment she fell for loid," "oh he's so in love with her just look at him," before we had even reached episode 10. Which was incredibly frustrating to me because clearly Loid and Yor are not anywhere near in love that soon in the story- and the basis for that frustration starts in episode 2 for me. Because Loid and Yor's marriage is one that is unconventional from the very beginning, and it is that factor that defines their dynamic an allows them to function as healthily and sweetly as they do. People don't need to be in love to be married or to be a parental unit. None of that requires romantic love, it is simply an expectation of our society, the same sort of expectation that cripples Yor and makes her think she has to find a partner, then that she has to find a husband to appease those around her. Seeing that completely erased in a large portion of art/commentary/fics written about them angers me because its something baked into the foundation of their dynamic and something I feel enhances them as a potential romantic pairing rather than detracts from it. But we can't have that because of course a man and woman living together and caring for a kid fell in love almost immediately.

And don't even get me started on how people misinterpret Loid for their far more romantic interpretations of his motivations and relationship with Anya and Yor or else I will start losing teeth from how hard I am clenching my jaw

#spyfam #spy x family #criticism #mae rants #for me the ultimate appeal of spyfam is them as a FAMILY #far more than loid and yor as a couple #to both of them their main goal is preserving the familial unit #and i say this as someone who fully expects and is excited for a slow romance with yor and loid #it just makes me so mad how people talk about them as a romantic couple #and obvious disclaimer of not all people yadda yadda im just generalizing here and i know that #doesnt make me less frustrated when the great interpretations seem to be a minority
