as a fandom we have spent too much time making fun of bruce and tim for being rich and not enough time making fun of jason for becoming one of the richest people in gotham twice, once through adoption and once because he beheaded people in the criminal underground and then proceeded to take over their territory and become a druglord.

#we love a hard working queen #also the fact that bruce and tim get made fun of for being rich is just letting them off easy #tim invented an UNCLE tim used to skate from roof to roof tim doesnt have a high school degre #bruce canonically went missing for like 5 years and came back extremely jacked #JASON LITERALLY STUFFED DRUG LORDS' HEADS IN A DUFFEL BAG AND THEN BECAME A DRUG LORD #JASON MONOPOLISED THE GOTHAM CRIME CIRCUIT #the only reason jason doesnt make the 'top 10 richest ppl in gotham lists' is bc he's dead and he got his money from drugs #jason todd #red hood #dc #dcu #dc comics #batfam

anyone else have this experience?

#eliot posts #i've been told by a few ppl that knew me back then that i was hella bullied in elementary school #i do not remember being bullied at all #i knew i didn't have many friends but chalked that up to me choosing to spend that much time alone #i did not pick up on passive aggressive shit #and wasn't aware of my surroundings enough to realize when ppl were talking abt me behind my back #and i think brushed off direct mean comments as like haha you are such a jokester #i was reminded of this bc i was talking to a friend from high school last night #and she mentioned a time when me and her and another friend went out somewhere #and the employees were being super nice to her and our other friend but extremely rude and condescending to me #she was like ''it's been years and i am still peeved over that'' and i was like ''wait they were mean to me???'' #did not even notice a difference in our treatment #autism #autistic

"I've Heard it Both Ways" is just the "I Don't Dance" of the Psych franchise I hope this makes sense

#THEY'RE BOTH SYMBOLIC OF BEING QUEER THE VIBES ARE THE SAME #this is extremely niche #i hope people get this #but all i was thinking when i watched psych the musical was “omg this is just like ryan and chad” #shawn spencer #carlton lassiter #shassie #psych #psych usa #high school musical 2 #hsm2

everyone always talks about the potential Ever After High and Monster High crossover (ignoring The Legend of Shadow High for obvious reasons) but nobody is ready to hear about the inherent genius that would be an Ever After High crossover with Equestria Girls.

main characters alone, Sunset Shimmer and Raven Queen would be the best team up.

#also not only are they similar #but sunset and raven are each best friends with pinkie and maddie #which are like also extremely similar #add in the fact that both their high schools are run by a pair of siblings #oh and imagine trixie and faybelle meeting #also the comedy of applejack and apple white meeting and applejack believing apple is a distant apple family relative #or a gag where rarity does her usual schtick of calling everybody ‘darling’ and then darling charming answers like ‘hm?’ #and rarity is like ‘oh no darling not you i was talking to applejack’ #please see the vision #eah #ever after high #mlp eqg #eqg #equestria girls #crossover #sunset shimmer #raven queen #pinkie pie #maddie hatter #i’m not tagging the rest. it’s not worth it. #ramble

I think we can all agree riz’s bracers of defense are an awful combination of these

I forgive you for everything AI I take it all back give me the library of alexandria plsssss

EDIT:

Folks are saying there's a pay wall on the article so basically: There's this villa that's thought to have belonged to Julius Caesar's father-in-law, and it has multiple floors of a well-stocked library filled with scrolls that were scorched by the same Mount Vesuvius eruption that buried Pompeii.

There's no way to safely unroll these scrolls, but since 1999 we've been examining them with infrared, x-rays, CT scans, and other methods that have helped us see the scrolls' ink without unrolling them. And now AI is showing the potential to decipher these scrolls even more.

Also, scholars apparently nickname these scrolls things like 'Banana Boy' and 'Fat Bastard,' even though they're sometimes revealed to be, like, The Odyssey or the Book of Leviticus.

I additionally learned that "papyrologist" is a possible job title to have.

Another thing that touches me is that we first found these scrolls in the 1700s and mostly had the foresight to keep them intact and preserved until we developed the tech to examine them safely.

Excerpt:

The first word to be found, announced on October 12th, was “porphyras”, which means “purple” in ancient Greek.

...

Many fragments turned out to belong to texts written by a Greek philosopher called Philodemus of Gadara. Until then, they had been known only from mentions in other works. (Cicero, though, was a fan of his poetry.)

...

Mr Friedman and Daniel Gross, another entrepreneur, launched the Vesuvius Challenge in March, with a prize fund of $250,000. Other tech-industry donors soon increased that to over $1m. To get the ball rolling, an initial challenge was posted on Kaggle, a website that hosts data-science contests, to improve the ink-detection model developed by Dr Parsons.

More than 1,200 teams entered. Many competed in subsequent challenges to improve the tools for ink detection and “segmentation”, as the process of transforming the 3d scans into 2d images of the scroll’s surface is known. Scrutinising segmented images from Banana Boy, Dr Handmer realised that the crackle pattern signified the presence of ink. Mr Farritor used this finding to fine-tune a machine-learning model to find more crackles, then used those crackles to further optimise his model, until eventually it revealed legible words.

Mr Nader used a different approach, starting with “unsupervised pretraining” on the segmented images, asking a machine-learning system to find whatever patterns it could, with no external hints. He tweaked the resulting model using the winning entries from the Kaggle ink-detection challenge. After seeing Mr Farritor’s early results, he applied this model to the same segment of Banana Boy, and found what appeared to be some letters. He then iterated, repeatedly refining his model using the found letters. Slowly but surely its ability to find more letters increased. All the results were assessed by papyrologists before the prizes were awarded.

No less important than the technology is the way the effort has been organised. It is, in effect, the application of the open-source software-development method, Mr Friedman’s area of expertise, to an archaeological puzzle. “It’s a unique collaboration between tech founders and academics to bring the past into the present using the tools of the future,” he says. Dr Seales reckons the spur of competition means the equivalent of ten years’ worth of research has been done in the past three months.

An active community of volunteers is now applying the new tools to the two scanned scrolls. Mr Friedman thinks there is a 75% chance that someone will claim the grand prize of $700,000, for identifying four separate passages of at least 140 characters, by the end of the year. “It’s a race now,” he says. “We will be reading entire books next year.”

Being able to read Banana Boy would indeed just be the beginning. Only a small fraction of Greek and Roman literature has survived into modern times. But if the hundreds of other scrolls recovered from the villa could be scanned and read using the same tools, it would dramatically expand the number of texts from antiquity. Dr Seales says he hopes the Herculaneum scrolls will contain “a completely new, previously unknown text”. Mr Friedman is hoping for one of the lost Homeric epic poems in particular.

Even more important, all this might in turn revive interest in excavating the villa more fully, says Mr Friedman. The existing scrolls were recovered from a single corner of what scholars believe is a much larger library spread across several floors. If so, it might contain thousands of scrolls in Greek and Latin.'

i’m about eight years out of practice with this guy

#wander over yonder #woy #wander #wander woy #fanart #art #cartoon #illustration #sketch #my art #i got a sudden out of literally nowhere urge to rewatch it this past week and i’m so sad i only have three episodes left already #wander over yondr genuinely means so so so so much to me can’t stress enough it is extremely important to me #it’s the reason i switched career paths to animation it’s the reason CMY2K exists it helped me come to terms with having OCD #everyone in the universe should strive to be like wander he makes me want to be a better person than i already try to be #i seriously haven’t drawn him since i was a freshman in high school. fucked up

[inkskinned]

one of the many ways which life is so unfair and cruel to me is that i do not have cool spidery elegant handwriting . in heaven (where i will go after i reanimate reagan's corpse just to kill him again) everything i write will look like field notes from a lesbian dowager with a suspicious interest in poisonous botany . and between the maddened sapphic scrawlings in the margins (where i am writing poetry about birds and nuts) there will be little watercolor diagrams of flowers also. and oh gosh so fine these little flowers will be

#i write like a dad :/ #all caps. extremely neat #when i don't write like that it's fucking illegible it's useless #it looks like a middle school kid trying out their emo font #ps i have TRIED to practice. i spent all of middle and high school practicing !!! #you think this gay ass of mine paid ATTENTION in class? #i STILL sometimes do calligraphy drills. it don't HELP #the capital letters are the neatest / least annoying i get :x #also @ that one person. yeah i have arthritis and carpal tunnel lol im in constant pain #BUT NEVERTHELESS I DESIRE SPIDER FONT!!!

Don't you have anything better to do?

Just let them go.

(Yes its based off that pic from Veil)

#okay sansnomaly rant time. #ITS ABOUT. THE YEARNING. #one of the main themes of undertale is letting go #toriel lets go of her stubborness. letting you go and giving asgore mercy #asgore letting go of his anger #flowey/asriel accepting that chara is gone #chara refusing to let go of hating humanity... to the point of destroying themselves to take em down #and of course #us. #if we cant let go then neither can they. but thats tough. to let em go #we have that “perverted sentimentality”. #as mr alex hirsch says #“the first hardest challenge is to convince people to fall in love with your work" #“second hardest challenge is to create a finale because youre trying to break up with the people who just fell in love with you” #okay personal time #so guess whos semester is starting up again #so high chance i cant post as much as usual HAHAHHA oof #med school is gonna be a toughie ; w ; #ill try to interact but i probably cant draw as much anymore... enjoy this extremely rushed drawing... maybe ill clean it up one day #the brainrot is still strong though #thank you sansnomaly #keep trucking on everyone #sansnomaly #sans x self insert #sans x reader #junie art post

horrifying concept spawned from the cross of the “joker is from inaba” hc and the idea of teddie eventually going to school

#persona 5 #persona 4 #teddie p4 #akira kurusu #ren amamiya #navi art #the persona timeline is so fun to think about #he’d instantly know morgana’s whole deal and be extremely . Teddie about it #listen he really wouldn’t have a Reason to go to school if he stayed her just do mascot stuff but #but it would be so funny. comedic potential > reasoning #i say middle school first bc let’s be real. he would not fucking survive being thrown straight into high school he would explode

Alan Wake 2 has one extremely specific horror element: Saga Anderson is around her mid 30s and has a 14 years old daughter

#alan wake 2 #saga anderson #me putting together a timeline and realizing Saga was in her early/mid 20s when she had Logan: oh yeah young people do that sometimes #it's like catching up with high school classmates and becoming extremely aware how many of them have kids

i don't want to go home

#bang dream #bandori #imai lisa #mmmh its summer its time to rotate last year's lisa summer event mental breakdown #okay here come the thoughts #the beach has been already mentionned in bs1 as somewhere lisa would go often after quitting music #and i often think its bc since she leaves literally next to yukina it was to avoid her #which makes that even in middle school she would go to the beach and not want to go home as a way to escape #then theres the summer event #where they mentionned that when she was a child when she went to the beach she didnt went to go home at the end of the day #which directly connects to her in her last summer as a high schooler where she is scared of the future #and where she basically is taken by her fears as a child (her younger self tugging on her skirt) #also its a night scene bc i often think about how yukina compared her to the sun AND the moon #and the moon to me represents that melancholic side that lisa is so extremely prone to #theres probably more i forgot to type. but u see im already deep in the trenches

doodle from last night/this morning - in big Bloodborne fanfic brainstorming mode but I also wanna pull a FROMSOFT and just insert one of my jerkass OCs into everything without elaborating on it... it just is a thing, lmao

but also realized as I sketched from reference that the Choir set really has next to no wiggle room for like..... individuality showing thru it. Guess I have to get better at writing individual characters thru dialogue and actions, huh? smh

#sketch #oc #bloodborne #fanart #the choir #myart #honestly if u can guess which OC of mine this is from this sketch alone... ur wild and also im extremely impressed LOL #anyway i forgot how JUICY it is to sketch with a 2B pencil oh my goodness #now I know why I did it so much when I drew on paper more back in high school lmaoooo

brennan: so you're in the last standard exam in an alien realm and in the stands you see a bunch of arthur agueforts, they're cheering for you, they're talking to each other, they've got your names written on their chests

editors: zooms in on the two arthur agueforts who are making out because they know how we are

#laughs awkwardly #dimension 20 #fantasy high spoilers #don't mind me i'm talking all the way down here. just pondering the concept of like #i know this is the format of the show and that's how the show works etc etc #but there's also a tragic quality to the fact that. these battle sets were made way beforehand. which means that #the bad kids were always destined to take the last standard exam. they were always going to fail in some way #no matter how hard they worked no matter how much stress they took on no matter how much they've grown #something something bobby dawn's really unlocked the extreme teenage rage in me. the idea of #'problem children' who are set up to fail by the system and then teachers act like their failure 'proves' that they were always bad #you know what i mean? plot device comedy et cetera but i do get really really sad about kids who struggle in school when they don't have to #the support could have been there and would have cost nothing but a bit of time effort empathy but adults withhold it. just to make a point

[sluttylittlewaste]

Does anyone else remember how during ACoC people kept trying to prove that Caramelinda was somehow in on [redacted's] betrayal and was actually evil? And do we all remember how many times Brennan had to say "No, she's not evil or Bad or anything, she's just a woman who is trying really hard to make the best decisions she can with the information she has in the heinous circumstances she's in"??? Do we remember Brennan having to tell the Bad Kids that Zayne Darkshadow isn't just some cringefail fucking edgelord but a child who suffered greatly in his life and then DIED?

Does anyone else remember Kalina literally having to snap her own neck to get the Bad Kids to realize that she might not be just *blanket evil*?

I feel like I'm seeing something very similar happening with Porter and Kipperlily and I really hope Brennan once again subverts the idea that just because a character is antagonistic they are inherently Bad or Evil.

Also, just a reminder Protagonist = main character Antagonist = person opposing/challenging the main character

These terms do not possess a moral assignation.

#To be clear this is not about the Intrepid Heroes and how they play the game #This is fully about how easy it is while playing DnD to forget being the main character makes it really easy to assume opposition = malice #and to make character judgments based on whether or not NPCs or nice/helpful/frienldly/agreeable #even though time and time again it has been proven that the nicest people in the world can be the most nefarious #also in the specific case of Fantasy High #they are all so good at playing teens and really leaning into the defensive/reactive/emotional aspect of that #a lot like Ruby in ACoC #there's also something very high school about responding to a person disliking you with extreme defensiveness #rather than simply understanding that sometimes that just...happens #and that people can come to and act based on conclusions about you without all of the information #in the exact same way that you can #but it feels more personal and offensive because you are living in your own head and know your reasons for doing things #so it becomes a flat dichotomy of nice person = good #rude person = bad #and it takes a lot of growth and perspective to know things aren't that flat in most situations #Aabria is actually really good at subverting that manner of thinking #both as a DM and a PC #d20 fhjy #dimension 20 #fhjy #if i die #let me die #thoughts #a crown of candy #acoc spoilers #fhjy spoilers

[mongeese]

On a meta level it's really funny for Brennan to introduce a bunch of gag NPCs and then kill them immediately but in canon this means that the Bad Kids created a bunch of deep bonds with people over the course of several months and then those people all died in one fell swoop. Like they just lost 3 of their friends. So they're burnt out and they're grieving. And they have school tomorrow. That is frankly horrific

#d20 #fantasy high #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #im so overthinking this but i loveee to overthink silly goofy media it's my specialty #anyway. losing my fucking mind. #although tbh 'burnt out and grieving and have to go to school tomorrow' is extremely relatable #fun fact i took a midterm the day after my grandmother died! while i was the most burnt out id ever been! #so yknow. not as bad but like been there
