Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
i was rereading different parts of the royal au and i got to neil calling andrew "my star" and my mind immediately added north to it and i read it as "my north star" and then i remembered that that's the star people always use to find home. cause andrew is neil's home.
You 🤝 me, thoughts on Abram calling Andrew his star
any advice out there from people who have written/edited really long form (100k+) fics before? as to like. what is useful to think about before/after sending or receiving fic for external editing and what's something you wish you knew after finishing the first draft looking back now?? ive finished the big bones of noble pining (152k. 25 chapters. wtf) and am so lucky and grateful to have quite a few friends who've offered to edit and beta it for me in the upcoming weeks and months but. this fic is far far beyond the scope of what i usually write/edit and so im feeling a little out of my depth!!! so any actionable or experienced advice would be super welcome and appreciated !!!
A muse or many things
Wonder, alive in boxes, screens
I vow to give you my love, cheri, and dream of you
Between the first and the last hour
I will yearn for you
Body and heart
And give you both in abundance
I will appreciate your pastel soul
Completely anew every day
So take my being
With all it is
And take these vows in whole
Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! Tag as many people as you feel like tagging because you haven't had breakfast yet and your brain is oatmeal.
Ok ok, I can’t post every wip because that would take too much time, but I’ll post the most recent ones in my google docs folder, enjoy ! (I've provided a lil translation for all the swedish titles, dont worrry)
The List:
“Namnlöst document” - (this means "nameless document" and is just the standard naming for all documents. I couldn’t give this story a name because I’m too embarrassed about it LITERALLY)
"From the top to the bottom and then back up again"
F# + C# (Unity, "Nu", FNA or whatever else fits me best there) -> Godot's GDScript + C (C23 Edition?) -> SBCL (Common Lisp, together with the "Trial" game engine) -> PDP-15 + PDP-8/e PAL (aka programming things in low-level Assembly & iterating on all things low-level hardware down to Unit Record Equipment & analog triode-logic... ) -> Zorua (my very own tribble-based Data Processor Architecture) -> DEC Alpha-tier computer system (possibly for a collaboration with Tuxedo Computers?) ;
Projects to try out using that roadmap
Dice tilecrawl terrain with MegaOCEAN NPCs (PixelCrushers + Unity)
First person perspective games (Juicy FPC, Qodot... in Godot)
Responsive "desktop" modular addventure (Legal-Paper-Zine Flatgame... in the "Trial" game engine)
"The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall" total conversion for my retro-futuristic constructed world
Zelda1+Zach-like "software toybox" as virtual "social" filesystem?
PDP8/e + PDP15 retro first person perspective "dungeon crawler" (see from retro Usbourne programming books' collection... and derive from there)
Redis backend Real Estate Bi framework: CRM draft1
I am still in my Ducttape\Boilerplate and Bubblegum environment on this. 4 gb ram 60gb hard drive laptop. I haven’t gotten very far into the nitty gritty with redis and memory and storage configuration, so nothing is optimized yet.
I’ve been working on the crm concept and I think I got the bare-bones in here for real-estate/self storage. This is no where near production, but Its much closer than…
Dealing with people who make their own budgets but don’t communicate well means I have spent the past two weeks with an increasing amount of Excel documents with names like:
Draft1
Draft2
Draft3
Final
Final- revised
Final v2
Final v2- john’s edits
Final v2- john’s edits - YM
Copy of Final v2- john’s edits - YM
and like…ya’ll. I need to figure out which of these to actually USE
In this exercise, my group had to present 8 landscape shots. We had two ideas in mind a park and a graveyard and we chose the graveyard. At the Graveyard we observed the environment to get an idea of what kind of mood and atmosphere we would set our film as. The observation made me realise that Graveyards are quite peaceful and gave me a conflicting feeling of sadness and peace. The sadness is due to the idea of death, and looking at the old and broken gravestones it was like I was looking at history. However, it was peaceful due to the nature that the place was surrounded by, and the emptiness of the area. After discussing we realised that we all felt similarly and decided to show both feelings in the 8 shots. We chose to capture both the beauty of nature and the broken and old gravestones to portray this. Overall, our film was open to the different perspectives people may feel while watching it because after all, death is poetic.
What is the correlation between music preference and sexual preference?
When blessed with enough serious consideration and effort, an idea which initially seems silly can be grown into something both fascinating and informative. From that perspective, I can confidently say that I believe studying the correlation between music and sexuality is worth committing time to. Especially as exploration and discussion of sexuality moves more and more into the public consciousness, I think it’s important to talk about people of all sexualities as equal people with varying preference, and to thereby try to eliminate bias and stereotyping against minority sexualities. Maybe music preference is not a grand and sweeping inquiry that would single-handedly humanize all minority sexualities to those arrayed against them, but perhaps a simple way for others to start viewing people as human is to see their human interest explored.
In the event that no correlation is found, that in itself would be interesting. Music is often an outlet for emotional expression, and our exposure to different music could be reasonably assumed to change based on what groups we associate most strongly with, seek out to support, and receive support from. Individual experience and taste are, in the end, highly important, but these other aspects would also be worth researching.
If a correlation is found, I would like to look into why those correlations exist. Do specific genres of music have higher populations of creators with certain sexualities? Are specific genres more likely to address concepts that are attractive to certain sexualities? Is there another factor drawing certain groups to certain music which I had not previously been aware of to consider?
Surveying for this question is relatively straight-forward in my planning. I would spread a digital poll asking about favorite general music type and sexual preference and collect any responses. Interviews for this are also fairly cut and dry, asking the questions with further depth and more time for a personalized response. Observation is going to be more difficult in this case, but I do have plans for observing this. One such plan is to look up demographics and usage information for music sites such as Spotify. Another is to find music forums and search through them for discussion or mention of sexuality.
Music and sexuality are both concepts that I find personally significant. Researching them and their possible connections is something I look forward to.
