#like okay I refuse to shit on anyone’s queer rep parade #and apparently so does everyone else who agrees with me #because I see so many posts about the alleged healthiness of Stede and Ed’s relarionship #and I know I am not crazy. nor am I alone in thinking ‘what healthy relationship???’ #in the finale they are At Best taking their first solid steps towards a healthy relationship #but they haven’t achieved that shit yet. they are actually still the men who didn’t talk to each other. who ran away from each other. #you want to hope for the best. but it throws me off when ppl act like what we got was the best #posts like ‘oh even when he is furious enough to smash a chair into a wall he still wouldn’t hurt stede’ #the scene that reveals that Atede didn’t explain anything and Ed didn’t allow himself the closure of hearing explanations really should be #NOT considered evidence of healthy relationship #okay I’m done I just get sick of seeing that gifset with its reblogs saying that and #’oh they did so well balancing the inherent violence of pirates against healthy relationships’ #girl WHAT healthy relationship?? there’s not a single damn person at that dinner table that knows what a healthy relationship is! #(wait. forgot about Buttons) #(I want to ship these two losers but I want to ship it for the cringefail ongoing train wreck it is #not the perfect queer happily-ever-after-SOMEHOW fairy tale that I don’t think canon supports)

So when Kisnau asked me if they could post Demon in Training for SDF's Yusuke Week I had no idea what they were talking about, but I'm all for sharing Yu Yu Hakusho content with people, so of course I said yes. I was just getting back into fandom stuff at the time, after a pretty long break, so I didn't end up checking out @spirit-detective-files here on Tumblr until much later.

Well now it's Kurama Week, I am insanely re-obsessed with Yu Yu Hakusho, and Demon in Training has been living rent free in my brain for months, so please enjoy this illustration of a scene from chapter 3.

starting to think MCU aliens who attack Earth are the equivalent of the guys on that one chart who think they can fight a bear and win

#I don't really go in for the humans are space orcs / earth is space australia thing #but mcu earth is full of humans who are just reinventing an ongoing array of superpowers to fight EACH OTHER #not even aliens #just each other #and if they don't do the superpower thing then they just invent some shit that mimics the superpowers but which an ordinary human can use #and if THAT doesn't work out then a highly trained regular human can and will kick your ET ass #EARTH: NOT EVEN ONCE #I guess the various aliens are all the guys who are like 'surely *I* won't die in a horribly embarrassing way like the last guy' #there was one shot and thanos got it and then immediately fucked it up #bedlam watches the mcu

India train crash: At least 280 killed and hundreds injured 

It happened about 130 miles southwest of Kolkata, in Odisha's Balasore district, at around 7pm local time on Friday June 2nd. It is the country's deadliest rail accident in more than two decades.

Between 10 and 12 carriages of one train derailed and debris fell on a nearby track, said rail spokesperson Amitabh Sharma. The debris was hit by another train coming from the opposite direction and up to three carriages from that train also derailed.

Fire services chief Sudhanshu Sarangi told the Press Trust of India that more than 850 people were injured - many of them seriously. A third train carrying freight was also reportedly involved, but authorities have not yet confirmed it. Rescuers were still trying to free hundreds of people feared trapped in carriages on Saturday morning, said Balasore authorities.

Odisha chief secretary Pradeep Jena tweeted that more than 200 ambulances had been sent to the scene. Videos showed police moving bodies covered in white cloths off the tracks and the army has now been sent to help rescue efforts. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the site to speak to officials on Saturday.  Sudhanshu Sarangi, director general of Odisha Fire Services, had earlier said 288 had died.

More than 12 million people ride 14,000 trains across India every day, travelling on 40,000 miles of track. Despite government efforts to improve rail safety, several hundred accidents occur every year on India's railways, the largest train network under one management in the world.

not to be the most stereotypical autistic person but i've been obsessed with trains lately but more specifically sleeper trains. i knew they existed but i had never really seen pictures of them before and i've been sucked up into the youtube rabbit hole where japanese locals go on sleeper trains and show the cool gadgets and booths and tech and food at the stations and i finally understand the train love

#when i think trains i think the uk trains and i don't mean some of the existing steam trains left i mean the disgusting dirty always late #always crowded and understaffed and underfunded joke of a public ''transport'' system. there's gum and piss and beer everywhere #and don't even get me startedddd on football season #OR the fact the gov won't be fucking normal to train staff we've literally had ongoing strikes for 12 months now #ohhhh i have got to stop thinking abt it. i'm going back to watching my train videos #7

3 different comebacks happening atm with three different levels of choreo but all artists sing live and over their backing tracks …. goes to show that the discussion about “idols don’t need to sing” should have been closed a long time ago. you can either do it or you don’t. it’s obvious many simply can’t these days.

#and you know what! wouldn’t be the case if they wouldn’t all have to be paper thin and with no muscle or weight to support themselves #as well as enough and ongoing vocal training #4th gen idols really only exist for tiktok trends and instagram posts these days lol #al.txt

#as far as celebrities who’ve been openly discussing i/p jameela jamil has been on the positive side afaik #what I’ve seen from her has been compassionate & humanizing to ppl in both countries & careful to separate govt from the ppl #some takes I’ve seen that have been iffy & some I disagree with but broadly speaking not the worst #but it feels like she’s losing it over her instagram stories being ‘shadow banned’ posting dozens of stories abt & calling it ‘black mirror #like yeah meta has been heavily criticized for allowing ppl to spread misinfo abt global conflicts so training algorithms to deprioritize #content from accounts that are spamming a whole bunch of sensitive content about an ongoing conflict #it’s not a person at the switch saying ‘you talked about palestine specifically so fuck you’ #it’s a algorithm trying to filter content based on datapoints that correlate with a whole bunch of different factors #it could be posting like 20-30 stories in a 24 hour period getting your stories flagged as spam #it could be the algorithm picking up that people click away or mark ‘not interest’ bc they don’t want to see war content from actors #i know i’ve had to actively tell pretty much every platform I’m on repeatedly that I don’t want to see that kind of content on my feed #& yet it still shows up so i get the furstration at the inscrutability of the algorithm & platform inner workings #but the ‘i tried to mute/unmute content & the platform didn’t recognize it’ cuts both ways #and leaning into conspiracism that basically implies the media is being controlled to ‘punish’ ppl for being pro-palestine is dangerous #like yeah that’s the kind of thing platforms *should be deprioritizing* #not content about palestine but the spam & the content with a conspiratorial bent #i/p

I'm on a SxF discord server that has particular channels for anime only fans, and over the course of the eight or so months that I've been in it, I've been spoiled four times, for different stuff, by four different people. None of them did it maliciously or consciously, but it made me think about some stuff... It's none of their responsibility to care for me not getting spoiled, but the truth is, a lot of times that I started a discussion there, it either didn't get a lot of traction, or I could see the manga readers itch to say more but could not, or at the worst, I got spoiled because someone had forgotten they were talking on the spoiler-free channel. At some point you start feeling that maybe this place isn't what you're looking for.

And I'm coming to realize that probably the most difficult part of being anime only is how left out I feel. It takes a special kind of hard-headedness to love the story so much, to want to talk about it forever, but not wanting to read the manga because you prefer to experience the story through the anime. And I haven't found anyone else who fulfills all those three things. Any anime onlys I've come across who love the story don't seem to be interested in writing meta (it's fine not to be, I'm not judging, by the way), just in enjoying the story. And that's because, usually, if a fan loves the story enough to want to analyze it and talk about it, they end up reading the manga in order to have more stuff to talk about and more people to talk to.

So again, to no-one's fault by my own, I'm left with so many feelings and so many things I want to talk about but only being able to shout them at the void, cause even places where they try to stay spoiler-free eventually make me feel guilty for how people try to bend over themselves to not spoil me, or mildly annoyed every time I accidentally get spoiled. And then I feel guilty for those people feeling guilty for spoiling me.

I don't know where I was going with this. Guess I'm just venting. Maybe if I do get the job I want next month it'll occupy a lot of my time every day (in a good, productive way... I hope 😅) and I won't have so much time to mope around and think about how left out I feel by my own damn choices.

#nette speaks #vent #it's like that proverb I mentioned with the donkey's tail #I managed seven months of no new content I can handle two more #but the problem is this proverbial donkey keeps getting longer because the manga is still ongoing and it will keep doing that and AAAAHHHH #oof one the the first things I'll do with my first big paycheck is make an appointment for therapy #cause I NEED IT #y'all don't deserve to witness my moping #at least my therapist is trained to and gets paid to do that very thing so

nothing funnier than a cowoker who agreed that people with only "slight colds or something" should still go to work is the one who is all "no please stay away from me i don't wanna get sick" when i arrive to work sniffling and coughing my lungs out but i wasn't dizzy, no headache nor fever so to me that IS a slight cold

funny how that works tho (:

#txts #the moment it affects them suddenly its a problem huh #anyhow pray for me that it'll be bad again tomo....today in like 6hours #and that my doc answers their phone #in that combo #bc i wanna stay home #i CAN work but it is exhausting as seen by me being tired at fucking 10pm #from a 6hour workday #if my doc cant answer their phone bc understaffed then i'd prefer to be healthy af #bc i can't get there #bc busses are striking...i think again and not still? #its an ongoing issue and i am growing a bit tired of it tbh #if i had a job i would have to commute to i'd be straight up fucked for the majority of my time since they started striking #but thats another issue #of which my sympathy is running kinda dry #glad to be out of training bc otherwise i wouldn't be able to do my 2hour school commute no matter what lol #if busses arent on strike then trains are #and you need both to go to school #rip to our 2nd yearer bc he...can not get there atm ever :D

Well in the end it comes down to recognizing when you can’t have a good faith conversation. I can understand the arguments being made and where it comes from but I fundamentally disagree with some of the foundations of these beliefs and will not budge. Nuance necessitates some alignment, I think.

#my ramblings #at this moment I don’t think you can separate the conversation of ai as a tool from the CURRENT ONGOING ethical issues #this isn’t theoretical it is right now for real being used in a specific way #if you’re curating your own datasets (??) for training (???) obviously there are ways to address it #but the major tools being used #are largely unethical full stop #and go beyond ‘unethical but you kind of can accept it and it’s necessary for day-to-day life’ #in my opinion at least #there are ai tools that can be used without exploiting artists #like yknow filters or some of those color tools or van gogh generator #van gogh’s dead so it’s not really exploitation of his art unless it’s like. I dunno. sold as if it were a commission #instead of an ai generated product #plus I feel like some of the arguments I’ve read frame things in kinda weird way #like artists are gatekeeping art rather than developing their skills #and there are unproductive ways to frame arguments that raise concerns about ai #but making it about the argument rather than the tool is missing the forest for the trees #well yknow how it is #I simply won’t see those takes anymore

I'm at the point in my transition where I've met a decent chunk of my goals that I set out for myself when I started last year and it feels like it's moved to just really waiting on hrt to do its thing.

Feels wierd to go from very deliberate decisions like changing the clothes I wear, learning how to paint nails, getting accesories and voice training etc. to just this passive waiting. I want to just skip time to when I have bigger tits and longer hair already

#i mean I still want to get my ears pierced #and facial hair removed but it isn't that high of a priority #i was blessed by not having a lot of facial hair and shaving hides it well #and voice training is still ongoing so I guess that's one thing I'm still working on #but none of those things are like key to my identity #v's posts

biggest gripe is when they don’t include kuukou’s kindness in writing even tho it’s as integral to his character as his brattiness

#vee queued to fill the void #i’m not going to beef with the stage play again nobody wants to see that lol #like when you make kuukou’s attitude the main focus of conflict i get it genuinely!!!! it is an ongoing source of conflict for him #and the easiest route to write down if you don’t want to challenge kuukou who is incredibly self actualised #kuukou will be his own hype man acting like he’s the hottest shit lmao but he knows and readily admits he’s still weak and has growing to do #that mindset isn’t the easiest to challenge (esp in bat vs mtr play where the story rightfully had other things to focus on) #so rolling back his development unfortunately makes sense lol #but removing kuukou’s kindness makes no sense to me actually lol esp since it undermines all the work he’s put into his religion #i’ve said it once i’ll say it again: you don’t get as far as kuukou has in his ascetic training without understanding the core values lol!!! #wisdom and compassion!!!!! wisdom and compassion!!!!!! #the unami chapter puts him in a tough spot because even tho he’s in the right it wasn’t necessarily the correct answer to the problem #and he had to grapple with ichiro’s hands being tied due to the bigger picture and trying to help unami blindly without the whole story #which is exactly how you need to challenge him lol his principles are right but life isn’t fcking easy lol!!!! #the brain’s about to start vomiting about kuukou’s life cycles and that needs to be a whole other post so lemme not lol #but kuukou’s adventures start because he sees a boy in trouble and wants to help #and kuukou wants to be able to look at his life when it ends and say he did good he lived it to its fullest and he wasn’t ashamed of it #and some of that impact gets taken away when you remove his kindness 😤 #c: kuukou👑

Loumand pet peeve is they are both wearing shoes in the penthouse. Like you're black and brown cultured folks, why are you wearing shoes in the house?!?!?!?!?

Can't believe production is making this error and preventing us from seeing toes.

lolll real asf to me idt a big error sm as it is theyre old as fuck, the penthouse could be but a temporary spot& not a place they may allow themselves to think of as home [rmbr armand telling daniel “dubai is but a child”, referring also to how young this tourist citystate is .. much like another city we spend a lot of time in s1 ;^)] ,, they could also b trolling daniel & daniel is like thinking to himself why would a black vampire wear shoes in his home, thats not on black twitter or w/e his journy sources is for the blacks™️ & that motivates louis to be a bit extra rude to dan that day.. tbf we do see louis take his shoes off when he in the white light artificial tree claudia memorial room cuz i remember them toes digging in the fake sand in the szn1 finale

#yn. #yn answers #speaking as a Black(tm) who was always trained to wear no shoes or houseslippers at the worst inside u got me thinking fr #r these vamps du colorre 2 bougie to take off their shoes? r they fuckin w dan the man? #matter of fact how long they been in dubai anyways? is dubai even ‘home’ enough yet for them? #much to contemplate #all this over shoes wow interview s2 wait got a nigga ackin strange #this y i tend not to keep up w ongoing shows cuz i embarrass myself
