#kokichi ouma #kokichi oma #ouma kokichi #kitschpolls #drv3 #it was a hard call to decide the 3rd person who wouldn't be able to participate... bc i feel like in a sense for any dynamic except #for saiouma and oumota u could make a case for it being underrated. #depending on how u define that. #i took out miu in the end because their dynamic is well satured. even if it's not usually the aspects i personally like about it 😓 #idk i guess u could say that about a lot of the dynamics. like yeah it's there. people acknowledge it. but #they're not *seeing* it !!! #lol anyway. ive been rambling a lot today. idk.

Man of words

#s16 spoilers #iasip #it's always sunny in philadelphia #always sunny #macdennis #analysis #parallels #I didn't exactly know how to name this thread but i had some scattered thoughts on it #dennis is the one mac depends on to define things. he's the man of words. but this situation is very limiting #firstly because mac can't read subtext. and dennis will rarely be open in his words. but he also doesn't know everything. #cant define everything. and by forcing the situation to have dennis speak for both. what actually happens is mac gets silenced #and when mac cant speak. no one besides dennis can ever possibly understand him. and that is very isolating. because den wont be open. cant #but they trust each other. theyre following each other's lead. and they're missing the right words #den defines his own self worth in the relationship by being able to have the right words. mac is the man of action! after all #but if mac learns to speak for himself. if mac doesn't depend on den (chokes). if mac is noticed for his appearance as den becomes insecure #(''what if my shirt falls off?'') what does den have left for mac? but mac will fall for him no matter what. #''make up or not you are the golden god! it's all about what's in here💗'' #maybe words arent necessary anymore. dont ask just do. and mac's the man of action... OR IS HE. #mac doesn't really act now does he. they got it backwards. don't they? mac got a lot better with his words in time... #idk lots to think about let me know what u think lolll #threads

played the game ok boomer at my family party today, ended up explaining to a room of ~20 of my relatives what fanfiction is so they could understand the question, “in fanfiction, what does AU stand for?”. and then the card’s definition of “AU” was wrong so i also had to get into the concept of “canon”.

can u believe. in front of my whole family. a room full of people, aged 3 to 80. all staring at me intently as i explain the difference between an alternate universe and canon divergence. at one point my mom was like “daina i think we get it” and a cousin and two aunts were like “wait no we’re interested please continue” and i had to say to my own mother in front of god and my i am kenough sweatshirt “sorry but unlike you the rest of them DON’T have to listen to me talk about fanfiction on the regular”. my uncle is a retired judge. my one cousin worked for the federal government in a job that was so classified that for years he literally couldn’t legally tell us about ANYTHING he was working on. and today those men sat and patiently listened to me define “coffee shop AU”.

also, not one, not two, but THREE of the answers for the young folks, i knew solely because they were either plot points on stranger things or they were things i found out whilst reading stranger things fanfics. and then i was the only person in our age bracket (10 people, ranging from ages 9 to 42) that knew who anne rice was, and had to explain yet again that the reason i had this knowledge was because… fanfic.

it was surreal. also my aunt, aged 68, may or may not begin attempting to read fanfic now because, according to her, “there are so many stories where there are these small side characters and i’d just KILL to hear their backstory or like what was going through their minds during the main action!” i’m very happy for her. today was wild.

#d speaks #the things i knew because of stranger things: who ripped a bats head off on stage. what year the challenger exploded. the ghostbusters theme #in case ur curious the way the game worked is there was a set of questions for people born pre 1980 and a set of questions for people born #post 1980 and you split into the two teams and you take turns reading trivia questions to each other #the questions for the young ppl were things like above - who wrote interview w a vampire #what year did the challenger explode. who are the fab four. true or false elvis had a twin. #the questions for the old people were like: what does BAE stand for. in fanfiction what’s an AU. who won the first american idol. #it was a weird game but very educational #and funny to play with my little cousins because as i said anywhere from 2-4 of them are gen alpha depending on how u define it #so it was very interesting to see what sorts of things have been passed down culturally and what sorts of things stayed solely in their time #it was sort of reminiscent of are you smarter than a fifth grader in some ways #also no one asked but. the teams were: #old team: 4 solid boomers. 3 boomer/gen x cuspers. 3 gen x’ers. #young team: 2 xennial cusps. 2 millennials. 1 zillennial cusp. 1 zoomer. 2 zalpha cusp. 2 gen alphas #and then also our 3 year old cousin who technically is gen alpha but he was more moral support than anything you understand #though at one point he DID declare that he wanted to play - picked up a card and ‘read’: #‘santa comes he eats the milk and cookies. poop goes in the potty’ in the EXACT cadence of someone asking a trivia question lmfao #love that kid. he also told me a few knock knock jokes #mainly they were like. knock knock. who’s there. candy cane. candy cane who. candy cane on your head!!!!!!!! #a true comedic genius that boy

yknow when i first watched the first yoshiwara arc i thought "tsukuyo is such an interesting character... it's a shame that she'll most likely be a one-off character" and oh boy am i glad i was wrong

#krispeaks #i. have my own problems with how tsukuyo is treated in some arc #or some of the fanservice dynamic she has with gntk #and if canon didnt try to ship gintsu that hard i wouldve shipped them more #cos they're so great like??????? their backstories almost identically mirror each other #also the trend of like gntk being surrounded by smokers who r unhealthily (depends on how u define the word) in love w him #and those times gntk went out of that much trouble to save tsukuyo. and the many many more times tsukuyo chased after gntk #you cant tell me they wouldn't die/live for each other #which is why yall should come with me in hijigintsu hell #geez gntk how come sorachi gave you 2 tsun smoke addicted authority figures whose backstories made you reveal your own #ok im gonna sleep. bye #jiwa perak

Oh my god yes yes yesyes i love how the sky & ocean are the reason why humans associate blue with vastness and infinite and depth and how they are both so so infinite to us but ONLY from our human scale perspective ? Like the ocean is actually so tiny compared to space. This is crazy. And its like. Infinite towards itself (ocean) and infinite towards outside (sky/space) . I adore your "the vast" tag it's fantastic. The post that is like an itemized list . I need that

RIGHT !!!!! LIKE LOVE THINKING ABOUT THIS..why do we see the ocean and space in the same category in terms of vast-ness .......the ocean is a teeny tiny dot in space !!!!! They are both only huge to us ....but from the perspective of the universe the ocean is basically the same size as us .....

The ocean is like the way there r an infinite amount of decimals between 2 numbers while the sky is the way numbers can go on to infinity negative and positively forever (makes sense to me)

So glad u enjoy vast-ness and infinity and depth and the ocean and the sky as much as me..!! 🌊🌊🌌🌌🌠🌠

#infinite towards itself ...infinite towards outside ..... #asks #also unrelated (somewhat related). but i think it is such a missed opportunity thst we tend to glance over the infiniteness and depth of so #many things that are very vast besides the sky snd sea #like.... anything is vast in one way or another. everything around us is huuuge !!!! we just tend not to think of it i think. ..... #there is just. so much of everything in the world. the amount of species of animals there are on earth. the hairs on our heads. #the way we can never accurately map out a coastline because we'll keep having to remeasure the coastline to be more and more specific so #the length is paradoxically immense #everything in our world is immense if you think about it....how many bacteria are in our bodies right now ??!!!!! #everything in our world is so huge if you just open up your definition of hugeness a bit more ... #i do think the way humans think of ''big'' as being blue because of the sky and ocean and that sort of being our biggest definers for #vastness to be cute tho ....look at us ... associating colors with certain elements of our existence... #love the way the ocean and space are like ...grouped together so much #def think more things should be included on our thoughts of infinity and vastness though ...like all the knowledge there is #is incredibly vast ...the human mind is incredibly vast etc ...! #the vast #love getting to see ur ocean era btw. love getting to see all ur art and thoughts about it and seeing u rb tons of ocean stuff #m #also...i love how our view on the color blue and whether or not its big changes depending on the perspective we're looking at #as humans. our sky and our oceans are blue and immense. but when talking about the universe...we are a tiny blue dot !!! #from our perspective we talk about blue things as really big...but when we turn to bigger perspectives we turn to talking about blue as #really small. because we are really smaaaalll !!! #love how perspective affects our language..

new personality quiz what language are you most confident in + is it your first language

unlabelled discourse girl

#‘unlabelled has become a label’ maybe (depends on ur definition of a label) but theres also a clear differentiation #it very clearly exists as a jack-of-all-trades thing that ppl use if they dont feel like they cleanly fit any other label #ppl can argue in circles about semantics #and how it has become a label but it quite literally does not matter 😭 the purpose remains the same regardless of how u choose to interpret #the meaning of a label #labels are for defining and for comfort and being ‘unlabelled’ allows for ppl to be defined as lgbt+ but not as something acutely specific #inside that for whatever reason they choose #seeing ppl piss and cry abt it bc they dont understand is so annoying like relax

[daisywords]

guys the "conflict in narratives" debate is all semantics

#and that's my hot take thank u #just depends on how we are defining words

[sera-wasnever]

People who latch onto ai as a buzzword thing to hate are both a) buying into the marketing of everything called 'ai' being the same magic artificial intelligence technology and b) entirely limiting their idea of what it is to how it personally affects/might affect them. You will not stick it to the exploitation of artists by loudly condemning like... Sci-fi that explores the concept of artificial nonhuman sentience just cause they refer to it as artificial intelligence.

#yes I have seen many people with this take #so strictly confined to how something affects you and your community specifically!! #as if artists are the only people to have their jobs taken by machines. #as if it was fine when it happened to farmworkers to calculators to typists to weavers to swordsmiths to... you get the idea #as if dependence on your training being the most efficient way for a profit seeking entity to make what they want to sell is sustainable #or even fucking DESIRED for the state of the artform or whatever #this economic system and art are inherently incompatable #programs marketed as ai are not the cause and blindly rallying against whatever ai means to you isn't the answer #in fact it'd probably hurt you if you succeeded in either banning the tech (ppl would lie abt using it cause u can't make ppl unknow things #(and it'd be so hard to legally define without being meaningless or also catching tech that could like. save lives.) #or if you got perfectly enforced more stringent copyright (just. look at what happened to the music world. it's a hellscape) #(non-huge music artists only avoid getting sued for every musical idea by not making enough money to be worth going after) #(and huge ones stick with what has been done enough times that no one could even claim to own it or give nonsense songwriting creds) #anyway. just an understandable but short-sighted and self-centred reactionary worldview exemplified by getting mad at 'robots good?' scifi #I have seen so many instances (irl) of people on principle refusing to learn anything new abt the scary thing #when it's my friend talking about like. building certain navigation systems. cause it's called ai. #ghost.personal #<= cause this is pure frustrated rant not My Thinkpiece

it really does bother me how no one can seem to answer the question “what even is romantic attraction, really.” like some people are like “it’s who you wanna kiss and cuddle <3” and I’m like ok well kisses and cuddles can be either sexual or platonic depending on context. “It’s who you feel passion/desire/arousal for” well that just sounds like sexual attraction which you can have without even knowing somebody so I fail to see how that’s romantic. “It’s who you want to go on dates with” I go on dates with friends all the time plus “date” is a social construct anyway there’s really no innate difference between a date and hanging out. “it’s who you have deep feelings for” great news for you that can be literally any type of relationship. my friend told me she defined it as “who you wanna give roses to” and I’m like do u hear urself??? like the more I talk to people the more I’m convinced romance and romantic attraction is an elaborate socially fabricated illusion that has no real defining characteristics. and like there’s nothing Wrong with it being a constuct but why people are so attached to defending the supremacy of it is something I cannot for the life of me figure out

#like reading this u might be like ‘sounds like ur just aromantic sis’ but I’m like. listen. #ur missing my point. which is that I literally think romance Does Not Exist #at least not in this bioessentialist way people like to pretend it does #the desire for companionship and the desire for sex are biological drives. everything else is a social construct #which doesn’t mean its bad! or not valid! or anything like that! #but I’m just genuinely do not understand Why we are so bent on treating it like gospel

✰ PHOTOBOOTH

say click! take a pic! with miles g. genre: fluff

warnings: idk use of the word negro, spanish (might be incorrect) a/n: we don't talk about the ending. also haha funny continuation from the arcade fic WE LOVE A WHOLESOME MILES

e42 miles and you were still on your arcade date, until you stumbled upon a photobooth. miles didn't like taking photos at all. once in a while he would let you take pictures of him but you'd have to delete them afterwards (you don't) (you have an album of him called 'pictures i should have deleted but i decided not to cause i love my man')

"mami, nooo" "yesss, miles! we haven't taken pictures in a while!" "ion wannaaaa"

✰ you'd end up dragging him into there anyways, of course with a few tricks up your sleeve. he raised an eyebrow at you with an unamused look. he knew there was a reason you didn't leave your makeup bag in the car.

✰ he wouldn't like it at first that much, since all you were doing was fake smiling. though, as more tokens were wasted and more pictures were printed, he slowly got into it. a few hugs here and there, lots and lots of kisses, being really touchy, etc. it's what got him excited. with you sitting in his lap and showing affection towards him, that's really all it took to bring a smile to his face.

✰ at one point, you smothered him in stamps of your lipstick.

"ah. mi cara, mi amor. it's all stained now." "it looks cute, though. mwah." "aww, te amo tanto. "

✰ when you two got back to your place, you decorated the strips of film with glitter pens and some of miles' graffiti markers while he took pictures of you doing so.

✰ depending on how many photos you two took, he would keep half and you would keep half. he would probably cut a few out and put them in his phone case or wallet and hang up the rest. he would DEFINATELY hang up the one you had stamped another kiss mark on.

goodnight ml to miles, seen
