#how do people think it's artificial

[dreampearls]

i literally cant think too much about scara & collei because otheriwse i start getting so mad and nauseous about how collei was treated in game and specifically in the archon quest

#she should have been there to witness dotorres monologue she should have been there with dunyarzard she should have been there to see #the balladeer!!!!!! & she should have been there for the reveal concerning the god ascension plan..that the experiment she was subjected to #was really just the early stages of This one w scara.. that the same people who kidnapped her are still out there and still trying to #achieve an artificial divinity no matter how many corpses they leave in their wake.. can you imagine!!!! #the depth it would have given her!!!! that it's years post mondstadt &she thinks she's moved on she's gotten over the idea of taking reveng #she thinks its done and over with and buried but then all of a sudden it rears its dirty head and what else is she supposed to do!!!!!!! #i want to see her bitterly impassioned...... i want to see her fight!!! #i want to see her talk to the balladeer scream that this is suicide!!!!! she knows what this feels like more than anyone else!!!!!!! #the feeling of having lost everything and wanting to take it all back!!!! #the archon residue reacting to shouki no kami idk.... <- see this is why i want to rewatch the quest so i can better #au-ify/rewrite it in my mind lol....... #blueghh... whatever........

Can I please have some comfort right now, if that's okay? People are watching me.

#i'm being impersonated and harassed #every day people in my past still try to find me. and i'm scared #not of what they might find. i have nothing to hide. but it's the constant fear of being watched and never being free #i'll never be free from the people who hurt me because they'll always find me somehow #i shouldn't be feeling so awful but at the same time. #i pour myself out to help others yet in return i get 'oh it doesn't bother me' and 'i've had it worse'. as if i doubt that for a second. #but please. not everyone has the same amount of emotional endurance. my patience has worn completely thin. #people i've known on here to be the most disgusting scum of the earth who no matter how many times i block them still show up in my inbox. #people from my old school still think they can get to me. a person who lied to me still wastes their time watching me #someone who i cared about the most probably still watches on and it's breaking me. #it always has been but i'm the sensible one. i'm not allowed to do this. i shouldn't be writing this but i'm getting desperate #i've taken deep breaths. i've drank water. i've done everything plus things i should not have to ease it off. #maybe the reason why i love puppets and artificial characters because i'm always used like one. like i'm a toy to break or put away #stupid analogy everyone has made for themselves but i'm done trying to be a good writer. the composer. #i want to feel without being judged but of course that's impossible. it's fine when it's strangers but relentless stalkers? it's wrecking m #it has been for ages but i was scared to say because i'm used to apathy and false promises. #i keep forgetting things and hurting myself. i'm getting scared.

as a general rule, on average, if americans consistently complain about a food being conceptually weird, gross, and scary, then it probably tastes amazing. or at least inoffensive.

this is because in my experience americans for the most part (give or take a few exceptions by region) think eating literally anything other than beef, chicken, bread, eggs, peanut butter jelly sandwitches, ketchup, and disgusting cloyingly artificial brown sludge soda is insurmountably weird, gross, and scary.

#a lot of people literally refuse to even eat ham or pork #not even for like religious or health reasons #just because they think eating anything but beef and chicken is 'weird and scary and gross' #every time i hear people going on en masse about how 'weird and an acquired taste' something foreign is i go and try it and i'm just like #what the fuck were all of you smoking. where is the unbearable weirdness i am supposed to be experiencing #shoutout to that time i kept hearing about how bizarre a flavor milkis soda is and how intimidating and acquired of a taste #then when i actually try the stuff. it's just fucking peach soda. it's peach soda with a faint tangy yogurtish taste. it makes good floats. #how in the absolute fuck is anything even remotely weird much less gross about this? #unless your concept of what a 'soda' should be is poisoned by a lifetime of the entire soda aisle being filled with nothing but brown sludg #from the same 3 brands that all taste like what would happen if they could distill the concept of diabetes and artificial flavoring syrup #i don't know if other countries have this but there's this weird cultural like mandatory rejection of any 'unusual' food here #way more intense than i've seen from anyone from any other country (though that might just be inexperience with other cultures talking) #people react to the mere suggestion of any food outside a very narrow range with outright disgust and genuine fear and horror #and there's a huge amount of unspoken peer pressure on everyone to also do the same #like you're expected to agree with them and you've breeched some sort of silent social contract if you don't #it's seen as *immoral* almost it feels like #it's difficult to describe unless you've noticed it yourself #americans react to the mere suggestion of eating anything outside of the same 2 meats and handful of fillers the same way #that pearl-clutching aristocrat grandmas react to hearing that people in foreign countries do.. basically anything #it doesnt matter if you're suggesting eating ube cake or suggesting eating live bugs because people will react the same way #everything that's not chicken/beef/ect is as good as bugs to people here #hate this stupid blandass country and how impossible it is to afford any food other than burgers if you're not rich #or blessed with relatives that have any idea how to cook and are at all willing to teach you #cause nother weird thing i've noticed about food culture-or at least wasp food culture-that i haven't seen anywhere else quite the same way #is that if you DO have any relatives that know how to cook then nine times out of ten they will jealously guard their recipes like a dragon #and refuse to share them with anyone #thus taking whatever little cooking knowledge was in the family to their grave #so the opportunity other people usually have for family bonding via passing on recipes? pffft no. #for some reason we seem to actively go out of our way to prevent these things from being passed on #i don't know what the fuck is up with that but i suspect it has something to do with 50's dinner party oneupmanship

i need to be normal. i cannot be normal. im not actually writing im just worldbuilding because i cannot get enough of little details that will never be relevant. im supposed to be writing down who has what and actually important details.

(however, perk: i can work on my phone now so i don't have to worry about the god-awful experience of emailing myself documents in the morning so i can actually use what i write elsewhere)

#haunted ecosystem #ALSO i came up with a proper-ish title for the main fic itself. anhedonia is the au. but i think artificial stars has a nice ring to it #also i swear this isnt a hero/villain au i just couldnt think of how else to label the difference between those. #i am promising myself this will not get out of control. ten chapters max. i dont care how many scenes per as long as the plot progresses #i need to foreshadow things properly for this. i need to like. augh. pain and suffering. plotting. #like i made the world now i have to actually Write about it. how do i explain that my brainrot for friend and foe lead to one of like. #one of the main guys is genuinely just. quiff. because i liked the silly duo him and clown have going there. #like i guess it sort of works? because like. it fully separates things. but like *also* what am i doing. #the things the people on ao3 dont get to know ^_^

[sirompp]

the way some of you guys talk about ai is um. kind of concerning? like you know image generation and chatgpt arent the only kinds of ais in the world right.

#i feel like im swinging at a wasps nest with this one but #the way some of you guys declare your passionate hatred for any and all ai. its um. worrying to me? #like yes there is a lot of ethical problems. with the two kinds of ai people seem to fuckin know about #There Are So Many Other Kinds Of Ai (Which Have Their Own DIFFERENT Ethical Problems) #like agi (artificial general intelligence) #agi is like what everyone used to think about when they talked about ai. the kind thats supposed to become like. ''sentient'' #ok well not sentient but. thats supposed to be able to learn how a human can #i dont know. is this a weird thing for me to feel iffy about. #is it too early for me to be worrying were gonna invent a whole new kind of bigotry #im pretty sure we're eventually gonna make an ai thats indistinguishable from humans in like. a Living way #not a The Kinds Of Things It Makes Look So Normal way #why do i think this? bc i am an optimist and have wanted this to happen since i was an itty bitty baby. and if we dont ill be sad #people saying ai should be like. outlawed bc of what corporations are doing is so wild to me. #like imagine every day you go to school you and your friends get beaten up with baseball bats #and you decide baseball must be banned from the school bc of how many people the bats harm daily #instead of thinking for a moment and realizing. maybe the fucking jocks who r hitting you need to be expelled instead of the sport #that the bats came from. #does that metaphor make sense. #or am i making up a guy to get mad at #i dont know. #i might delete this later

It's my self ship blog and I get to choose the yearn

#gush in tags #Sometimes i think about just holding Moon's face #and just looking at him #tracing each little artificial crater #the little cracks in thier smile #their lips #do you guys think he would purr #i think that would be so cute #i just think he works so hard with security that he needs to lay in my lap and let me hold him for a while #and tell him how good a job hes doing #tell him how pretty he is #and how lovely their voice sounds #some people think its creepy and scratchy but i think its as pretty as a music box #hes my favorite pretty boy #and i love him so dearly

"the difference between a conspiracy and fact is time" isnt always true because some things are just genuinely loony and wrong but. boy oh boy is it true in too many cases

#remember when mass surveillance was considered a crazy conspiracy theory? right. thanks snowden #remember when international elite pedophilie rings and islands were a crazy conspiracy? thanks epstein #remember when mind control and government experimentation on people and Mind Control were a conspiracy? right. thanks mkultra and proof of #postmodernism being infiltrated into everything artificially #remember when saying the war on terror is bullshit and the wars were faught for oil and infleunce would get u called crazy? welpppp yea mos #of us sure agree today. hey. u know theres government documents which talk about funding extremist rebel groups in south america in order t #justify us fucking around? hey. u know how many governments around the world the us collapsed? #. #hey? #what exactly makes the idea that they killed kennedy who was trying to stop the cia bullshit - and then the cia director he fired oversaw #the case crazy? and what makes the idea that they were involed in 911 crazy exactly? #and its allllll coincidence right. right #right...... you notice how with a lotta these fuckin things they ended up being very much true? #...... theyve got no fucking morals and an insanely bad track record #theyre responsable for how many wars deaths genocides rapes tortures coups throughout the world #i dont trust shit and there aint a think i think is too bad for them to do #anyway. ill place my bets on israel knowing the 8th was gonna happen and wanting it to #why fund hamas for years then. and how the fuck did all their intelligence and surveillance and million high tech american inventions miss #this

[yamikawaii]

im just really tired honestly

#like i dont get it.THREE whole s/elfship mutuals even ones who have talked to me abt yoomtah and told me she loves me before. #and then they somehow turn out to like the ''''''canon'''''' ship more than mine #i guess its my fault for not putting myself out there more but i dont get how im supposed to in this state #its just funny how when im at my best posting daily and drawing occasionally and im so happy and fun everyone loves me and thinks im so cool #but when im at my worst and need that support more than ever seems im just thrown away like a cheap toy that the dog chewed the head off of #and i dont know if it makes it better or worse to say i get it. id forget about me too #i just wish i had the energy to make myself ''worth it'' again but thats kinda hard when i literally feel how i did at 14 again but worse #i just want to be that sweet charming person who people love seeing happy because im just so enthusiastic and passionate again #i dont know what im doing anymore honestly #its just hard when all that excitement and joy that people like me for is most of the time artificially sweetened

[honeyviscera]

i am ready to kill

#i no longer want to drop out of engg bc anger. is a very good motivator for me. #i had to listen to a dudebro this morning saying with a straight fucking face that the reason there arent many women in engineering #is because there is a fundamental neurological difference between women and men #that makes women more emotional and arts inclined #and that men are naturally more scientific and therefore women have a 'female brain' and are naturally dumber #WHEN I TELL YOU I WANTED TO TEAR HIM APART WITH MY FUCKING TEETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #BRO SAYING THIS TO MY FACE AT 8 IN THE MORNING #I WANTED TO KILL!!!! #and then more guys in this class piped up to support this point #i was ready to kill almost everyone in that room. #how fucking braindead ARE you people #so anyways because spite is an excellent motivator for me i will NOT be changing my major. fuck all of you fucking fuckers. #caps #ocean.mp3 #OH YEAH and then my prof (bless him) was like 'well statistically women actually get higher averages than men. what do you think of that.' #and then another fucking guy was like 'since more women are in the arts those are artificially inflated statistics' #BITING AND RIPPING AND KILLING YOU!!!!

[chickenisamazing]

I wholeheartedly disagree with people who say motivation isn't real and only self discipline exists. Like u got it wrong dude, self discipline is a myth. It doesn't exist. It's as real as the tooth fairy or Santa Claus or whatever other lies white people tell their children.

#T #Motivation is real bc I feel it sometimes and that's when I get stuff done #The problem is I need to figure out how to hack my motivation so that I can artificially create it #Bc intrinsic motivation is highly unstable #I think ppl who call themselves 'disciplined' are lying they're just highly motivated people #I don't even have discipline for brushing my teeth or showering #I don't do those things at regular times #I do them bc I have to and I do them at the moment when I'm motivated to and not a moment sooner #About to finally brush my teeth bc I need to sleep and I am feeling motivated bc I'm tired and my mouth is gross

I'm going to give a presentation on period underwear tomorrow and make the two men in the class briefly (ha) uncomfortable

#the research topic was an innovation in textiles that's in use or development #I originally was going to do spider silk but the more I research the more it sounds like artificial spider silk is a scam #spiders are very cool and it's an act of hubris to think humans can achieve their level of fiber sophistication #I was also interested in SPACE FABRIC but am not 100% sure that it counts as a textile. strictly speaking #the challenge now is to find informative sources on how period underwear works #also there's only 9 people in the class

[sucktacular]

SORRY TO SAY BUT YOURE GONNA HAVE FRIENDS FOREVER AND THEY WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU DEARLY WHETHER YOU KNOW FOR SURE OR NOT. YOU CANT ESCAPE BEING LOVED AND I HOPE ITS SO GENTLE AND KEEPS THE DAYS GOING.

#sucktacular sucks #ily and i know it doesnt make all the horrible feelings go away but you are never truly alone in this world #i hope you get to be surrounded by friends in person and i hope their love fills you entirely #side note yesterday i went to a festival eith a friend and their friends and their friends friends and #i sat on artificial turf while surrounded by so many people and watched some live preformances with great music #and i had a moment of 'im happy. i wish i could have this more often.' #and just thinking about how ive been trapped inside by my own neurotic horrors since march 2020 #and i sigh and get teary eyed thinking about it... we are social creatures and we have communities and despite so much horror #a lot of us just want to be friends and liked and gentle and be treated nicely #and just sigh. maybe i dont need to be so terrified all the time. maybe happiness is stored #in the socializing we do and the friends we keep #and maybe thats okay. maybe thats more than enough. :( #edit: #note to self

Spill those press conference thoughts girl!

Hello 🌸

Where do I start? Let me say I agree with the general overview. I do think the two movies affected Harry in a different way. I do think he loved being part of MP because it really feels like a safe and comfortable environment for an exciting and important project. I do think he was intimately connected to the story and since I believe what I believe, I can’t not see his deep reflection on the character he plays in the movie. I do think the other movie was the ultimate bad choice for several reasons and I wouldn’t be surprised if all the people involved would feel this way too. It was poorly directed and they went for the lamest narrative in modern history ending up in a gross, embarrassing joke.

That being said… I know the main opinion in fandom right now is “Harry didn’t care about that movie”, which may be true, but also it’s his job and he’s a professional. I wonder in which extent he has the freedom to go there and say certain things without repercussions. Especially when he has been part of this mess for too long and whatever he says can compromise the entire thing. I know people say “they didn’t do a good job with the promo/marketing of that movie and stuff”, which may be true, but also I wouldn’t say it like that. They made decisions and planned strategies, that evolved in a final snowball at the press conference in Venice. The fact we were all expecting the crash says more to me than any interview ever could lol if that was so predictable why nobody prevented it? Unless… that’s what they wanted or at least, that’s what they could find useful somehow. I don’t know maybe I’m giving them too much credit hahah It was a 2 years long marketing campaign and as I said before, everything was set in perfect Hollywood style. All the buzz, gossip, stunt, scandals, drama, rumours of all sort around this movie (even spitgate if you want) were meant to put that movie under the spotlight. I don’t think Harry was unprepared for that movie, I think all the press was meant to go that way at some point. Since his arrival, Harry’s role was to be the diva from the carpet to the press conference. Nobody was expecting him to have clever thoughts on the movie or whatever. Even the press treated him like a diva with question about himself and the parallel career in music and fans (?). It was meant to be that way to me because they never tried to separate Harry styles the singer from Harry styles the actor. If that was your purpose, you wouldn’t use tickets for Harry’s tour to increase the presales for the movie. I despise WB, but if it’s true this was the movie they put all the efforts in… I genuinely can’t believe they would go with the flow like that during the conference on a super professional stage like Venice lmao Again, maybe it’s that I value work ethic too much and this was just simply bad, but the little question in the back of my mind stays… Nobody would go there and say the “movie is a movie” quote! I know it sounds like typical Harry, but Harry is smart. His job is literally to create masterpieces with WORDS. He better than anybody else knows the power of them. Look at the 180 turn My policeman!Harry took. It’s way too obvious. I’m not saying I 100% believe becoming a twitter meme was intentional, but I wouldn’t swipe this card off the table lol after all that’s what there’s left when your movie is nothing new and have no message but you just want to sell it using your actor fanbase. Cheap and lazy (like Harry’s team).

#i don’t want to create conspiracies lol #it’s just hard for me to believe some people are SO bad at their jobs you know what i mean? #the thing is I do believe it’s a mess but I am open to the conversation this mess has been created at some point #maybe not entirely because there are unpredictable factors too that you have to count in #but still it’s so dumb it could look waaaay too artificial imo #i think it’s a very old modus operandi you know? #if this movie was out in the 60 they would have used the same shit to promote it haha #but it’s 2022 and we are in the middle of the cancel culture storm #so people will call you out and make fun of you #one of the things that made me start questioning this possibility is #how the public react by saying #‘we haven’t seen such an hollywood drama in so long thank you dwd for your service’ #anyway i would have never approved anything like that lol #but that’s just me haha #on top of it add that Harry doesn’t have a reputation to be a rebel #at some point ​that press was so ooc that was lowkey fake to me lol #casella di posta numero 32

somewhat pleased to announce that in case someone wanted to know, and i really don't see why they wouldn't, the cameras that atz use in the cawaii men photoshoots are

fujifilm simple ace p&s camera (for taking photos), and

most probably? pentax spotmatic (the one hj, sh and jh pose with)

#YOUNG PEOPLE NOWADAYS!!! they're wasting film like pros :''') #shrimp thoughts #actually this is terribly artificial behaviour. i was not organically possessed by the urge to check what kinda camera are they posing with #but i DID think it would be funny if i did and then acted like it's a completely normal thing to do. hence. #i should learn up on hj's photography... he did have an exhibit a while ago after all #i'm curious about the pics the guys took with the fuji cameras! what % of them was unsalvageable lol #i know it was probably cold/late/both outside and that they were on a schedule but yknow what they say #or maybe they don't. but anyway the person who picked up THING three seconds ago acts like they know everything there is to know about #THING. and so. as this very person. i'd like to say the pics would probably be better if they could take them outside? you can see #the p&s all have flash but still! oh also that reminds me of my minor gripe w/ atz photoshoots namely. they're All Indoors #well not ALL all but sooo many of them are and it pains me because i love outdoorsy photoshoots #like the one in the diary ver of fever 3 or the second part of the fever epilogue diary ver #...and fever 2 diary ver too. wait are diary versions just More outdoorsy/less Studio Photography? HM #but anyway! i just like when models can interact/blend in with their surroundings. it's always much more interesting when there's something #Else going on in the photo than just one color background/the walls of a room. this is why i loved l**na's predebut album photoshoots becau #*because each was in a different location! several different locations even! sometimes you'd even get a photo that has no people in it #simply because the surroundings are so pretty! #oooh now that i think about it d-day is like that too. yoongi heard me grumbling abt how much i hate those empty pages in bt/s albums #and went Not On My Watch lol #anyway. sorry i'm rambling for no reason gkhsfgkjfsf

pokemon b/w kinda flawless games if you really think about it.

#:) #like i started a playthrough of black a week ago to do something during the christmas period and i'm already at the end of the game #b/w are probably the most compact games other than maybe sword/shield #but man if they don't make use of every last minute of their 30 hour campaign #might just be because out of all pokemon games it's b/w i know best but it's such an engaging experience start to end #like i just sit here and think about the pacing of these games and i'm like. it's just so good no complaints #b/w achieved in 2010 what a game in 2019 couldn't do WITH artificial qol changes to speed up your gameplay experience #once again reminded how impossible it is to compare the 2d and 3d eras of pokemon #my literal only complaint about gen 5 is that it's a really terrible starting generation to recommend someone get into pokemon with #so very few people will get to have b/w as their first impression of the series #btw nobody ask how many pokemon games i am playing simultaneously at any given time. that is a fun mystery only i know
