Note

Scott McCall is the poster boy for entitlement, misogyny and toxic masculinity. Remember when he demanded that Allison goes out with her stalker (Matt) and then yelled at her in the middle of a crowded club because she had the audacity to trust her own father to save Jackson instead of obeying him? Or when Scott pinned Allison against her bedroom’s door and humiliated her just to prove how ‘weak’ and ‘fragile’ she was and because “If I’m scared shitless, then you should be scared shitless too”?

I told my friend Mads a long time ago that with every new fic I put out, my urge to become, if not popular, then just understood as an anti-scott blog got stronger. I mean, it’s not like I want my blog to just be about hating Scoot, but I didn’t really want people to come in and follow me thinking I was a Scott fan, because it would be disingenuous.

I think I got my wish? Either one person has a lot of feelings (which I’m all for) or a bunch of v angry anti-scott people have swarmed over me like hummingbirds on sugar water. It’s a really interesting experience!

Anyway, back to your ask. So, I don’t like Scott, and admittedly sometimes I’m a little extra bitter/hateful than others, but I do try to be accurate in my dislikes of him (usually), so I’ll go through what you said one at a time and try to decipher (from my v faulty memory, so apologies if there are mistakes) if I agree with each statement.

Since some people have requested the Read More thing so they can scroll easier.

Scott is: Entitled. Off the cuff, I would agree. I’ve mentioned before how frustrating it was to see the show attempt to portray him as a poor kid, when he’s nowhere near that. I’ve also seen posts before that explore how Scott doesn’t carry a ‘poor kid’ mentality at all (they probably did it better than me, and it was probably Athenadark who did the analyzing). Growing up, I didn’t consciously know I was poor. Not as in ‘i had everything I needed’ but as in “i assumed all kids grew up occasionally eating a single can of pears for dinner or had to return groceries from the car because their parent’s card was declined and they were out of food stamps or wore a pair of tennis shoes until they were literally taped together with packing tape because we couldn’t afford new ones.” I grew up in a poor town, on the poor side of that town, so there wasn’t a lot that showed me it was possible to live differently. Being poor gives you a specific mentality, and when I finally met kids who were ‘middle class’ I was blown away by the differences. I say all this because Scott is very clearly a middle class kid.

Yes, he has an after school job. Who tf didn’t? That doesn’t automatically make you poor? Even my rich friend got a summer job because she wanted to buy band merch and her parents wouldn’t let her. But have you seen his room? It’s a wreck. We get the scene of him digging under his bed trying to find his phone, and I honestly was kinda disgusted. (I also grew up in a hellhole hoarder house, so clutter fucks me up) It’s not just the messiness though. It’s finding out that his mom is the one doing the laundry. Melissa “One shift won’t break us completely” McCall still cleans her son’s room and does his laundry and sews his clothes even though she’s supposed to be working herself to death at the hospital. Oh, and he’s sixteen years old, so he should be able to do his own fucking laundry? it’s one thing if his stuff ends up there while she’s doing laundry, but apparently she goes out of her way to do his clothes regularly enough that she has no qualms about going in his room to clean? Scott works at a VET’s office and has for long enough that he can put a cast on a dog and feels confident giving it painkillers in the right dosage. And he can’t sew a line of stitches in his clothes? He’s got an ensuite bathroom. His room is clearly the master bedroom. He doesn’t make his mom dinner to bring her, he picks up chinese. And there’s the house itself and its size, etc. Of the two of them, i would’ve expected Stiles to have the messy room. He’s adhd, I know how hard it is to keep a room clean with that kind of headspace. But no, his is really clean most of the time, even his desk, unless he’s researching something specific. I mention Stiles because it’s the comparison of the two that makes Scott’s own messiness stand out. Hell, literally no other bedroom we’re shown is messy in the slightest. Allison’s, Lydia’s, Jackson’s, none of them. (I don’t remember Liam’s room, if we saw it) He feels entitled enough to take up extra space and add extra work to his mother’s stress level (which, listen, I’m not saying being not-poor makes you entitled. I’m saying that the show makes the claim Scott IS poor and he Still does these things. THAT is the entitled part.)

Then there’s his relationship with Stiles. “Yeah, but I had you before.” When talking about the good and bad things in his life, he doesn’t even think to mention Stiles as one of the good things. He says he has nothing, just like before. Stiles isn’t even on his radar, even though they’re looking right at each other. Yet we know that Stiles is basically Scott’s only friend. As someone else with very few friends, I can’t imagine saying to my best friend’s face that I have nothing and no one. Let alone if that friend had been keeping me from dying and teaching me how to be a fucking werewolf for months on end. When do we see him worry about Stiles being human and stuck in the middle of all this? Especially in earlier seasons, we never see him say anything like “maybe you should hang back cus’ you’ll get hurt.” Like, we know that Stiles would do it anyway. And we’d get pissed if Scott told Stiles he wasn’t allowed to help because he was human, but that’s because Scott doesn’t get to tell Stiles what to do. We know Stiles finds ways to protect himself when he has to, but Scott never even asks. He never hints at “I’m worried about you and please know I wont’ be mad if you stay away from the fight.” Even Derek shoves Stiles behind him when the kanima shows up. There’s the thing where he warns them ‘if something goes wrong call for me.” But he explicity says that worry is for Allison, even though she has some method of self-defense. Stiles has nothing. Scott never cares enough to think “Maybe we shouldn’t bring him to the rave where there’s gonna be a vicious killing machine that has already tried to attack him once.” One word from Peter “vulnerable” and Scott stalks Allison (and forces Stiles to help him) for a week. But Stiles gets trapped in a pool for hours, scared out of his mind, and Scott never so much as seems to get clingy? He just assumes Stiles will be fine. He feels entitled to Stiles’ help and assistance, without putting any thought into Stiles’ safety. He asks “is it illegal?” not “Will you get in trouble?” He looks at Stiles when he says “I can’t protect anyone” But when was he trying to protect STILES? Then there’s the part where while he’s ‘under the influence of the wolfsbane whistle’ (A plot point I fucking hate) he drags Stiles down with him and includes him in being nothing. Being no one. He assumes that if he was nothing before the bite, then Stiles must’ve been nothing also. And since Stiles didn’t get bitten, it also implies that Stiles is still nothing. He’s just hanging on Scott’s wolfy coattails. That’s an incredibly entitled viewpoint to have.

Admittedly, we do see some more humble moments with Allison, especially at the beginning of their relationship, where he says “I just wanna make sure I get my second chance” he’s not assuming he’ll get it. Go scott! (I’m not the hugest fan of him asking her out after he’s clearly just done her a massive favor and is keeping her from getting in trouble for hitting a dog, and she’s wearing his SHIRT and she can’t really say no without looking absolutely horrible, but she seemed pretty into him, so I’ll let it go) But once they’re together? I know that most best friends share secrets and private stuff with each other...but Scott tells Stiles so much about his sex life with Allison that Stiles is actually pissed off and kind of disgusted by it. Stiles. Who is supposed to be sex obsessed. Even he thinks that it’s just way too much information. I can’t imagine Allison would be comfortable with Stiles knowing that much about her in bed. (But at the same time, we see Scott tell Stiles that he never wants any more info on Stiles in bed than Stiles’ vague innuendo abt wet dreams, and then he still feels entitled to tell Stiles whatever he wants about him and Allison and won’t listen when Stiles asks him to stop.) When he asks Allison to go out with someone else, there’s so much that makes me both sad and angry. She is confused and scared, and has clearly committed really hard to Scott (enough to go against everything her family wants) and he tells her to go on a date with someone else. Not just that, but to kiss someone else. To kiss Matt, specifically, whom he knows Stiles thinks is really fucking creepy (though, we need to acknowledge that no one knew Matt was stalking Allison.) And she tries to show him that he’s asking for something really fucking weird and uncomfortable. “Kiss him? You mean, like really kiss him?” And even then, he doesn’t think anything is weird about telling his girlfriend (and they are clearly v monogamous. We see how insanely possessive he is of her, losing his shit when she’s just introduced to other guys Lydia knows, after only one date that he bailed from) to kiss someone else, but not kiss them the way she kisses him. He doesn’t ask for any info about the date, doesn’t ask if Allison’s uncomfortable. He just says “Do it.” and expects her to obey. He feel entitled to controlling who she’s with and what she does, without asking her if she’s okay with it. Because I haven’t seen later seasons in a long time, I usually try to stick to the earlier stuff so I’m less likely to say something stupid, but I do remember him scaring her in her bedroom. There’s a lot about that scene to unpack, but in the case of Allison specifically, we see that he still feels entitled to touch her. They are not friends right now. She has not given any hint that she wants to get back together (except asking to talk to him in ep.1). He should not feel like it is in any way okay to touch her at all, let alone hold her still with super strength. But he does. In his mind. She’s Allison, so why wouldn’t he able to touch her?

He also feels entitled to his leadership. We need to make clear that Scott doesn’t do the leadership stuff. He just happens to be the person in the friend group who’s a werewolf. Stiles and Jackson are the ones who go and set Peter on fire after they can’t get ahold of Scott (WHO IS NOW WITH DEREK, and THEREFORE HAS HIS PHONE). (You’re telling me Scott could’ve done the howl thing at any time to find Derek, and he just left him there for a week?) (Also, yes, I know Stiles was also not involved in helping find Derek until Peter made him. I’m annoyed at him too.) What is leadership-worthy about leaving a tortured man on a grate with electric wires plugged into his side and shackles on his wrists until he agrees to help you kill his own uncle (Oh, also, I have Peter feelings and have salty thoughts about the plot of s1, if anyone’s interested)? But let’s say Scott’s leadership comes in Season 2, not at the end of S1. But when exactly does he earn it? When he tells a teenage girl he doesn’t care about the humiliation and pain that led her to taking a bite that would cure her lifelong illness and give her a friend group that she didn’t have to be afraid of or bullied by? When he called a boy who looked him in the eyes and begged for him to keep his wolf secret “Bloodthirsty”? When he dismissed Boyd’s want for the bite, which was a way for him to make friends and feel like he belonged somewhere, as ridiculous? When he damaged Boyd’s workplace in a way that would almost certainly get Boyd in trouble? (You think smashing a massive crater into the middle of the ice rink with his fist didn’t get Boyd yelled at or maybe even fired?) When Boyd asked to talk to him on the field, and Scott attacked without rhyme or reason? When he let Erica sit and seize while he fussed over Allison? “This doesn’t Feel right” really Scott? You know, I think Erica, who’s having a fucking seizure in the next aisle, would agree! Hurry the fuck up! Oh my god, I went so off track. I have more thoughts on all that though, if anyone’s curious. Anyway. Scott doesn’t do anything that actually entails being a leader. His one job in the rave, he passes off to Isaac so that he can go call Gerard, because he’s currently working with the villain behind everyone’s back. The whole thing with Allison telling her parents and the plan with Derek getting messed up? Yeah, that was Scott’s fault for not telling her. Hell, for not telling GERARD. He, what he expected her to read his mind? Scott knew Allison was telling her parents about Jackson! She said she would tell them after he broke out of the van! The entire fuckup is his fault. But he still shouts at her and blames her and says she should’ve ‘trusted’ him. He passes all the guilt onto her and leaves her there on the verge of tears. He’s entitled to her obedience and he’s entitled to shaming her and scolding her like a child when she doesn’t do what he wants.

So, yeah, I think Scott’s entitled.

Scott is: Misogynistic. This one...I’m not so sure? Scott has a lot of bad qualities, a lot of behavior that’s incredibly toxic and manipulative, but I can honestly say that I can’t think of a single time when his reasoning for not letting/not thinking someone is capable of doing something is because they’re female?

There’s a lot to be said about the manipulative way that he speaks to and interacts with his girlfriends, but that doesn’t stem from misogyny, from what I can see. It stems from everything else. From his self-obsession, from his moral code, from his honest belief that he deserves obedience and complete candor from those closest to him. He does this to everyone, not just the women. It’s just easier to see it with the women because we’re primed to look for it. (I’m making the assumption here that you are female/feminine presenting, anon, since I know that the vast majority of the fandom is, but if I’m wrong, my apologies) Wow, though I’d have more to say on this bit, but I don’t.

Scott is: Toxicly Masculine. I’m not sure where I lay on this idea. Teen Wolf does have a lot of general instances of toxic masculinity, and Scott does exhibit some of them, but again, part of those behaviors can be found in women as well.

I know that it regularly pissed me off how often they reduced men to sex machines. *Scott and Allison are making out on Allison’s bed* Scott: “I don’t wanna make you do anything you don’t wanna do.” Allison: “I’m not doing anything I don’t wanna do. Are you?” Scott (incredulous): “Are you seriously asking me that question?”

*Stiles and Heather are talking about having sex at the party* Heather: “I mean, would you be okay with that?” Stiles (gently mocking): “Would I be okay with that? Yes, yes, I believe so.” They go out of their way to completely negate the possibility that a guy wouldn’t be into sex, even making the concept of asking for a man’s consent sound silly. This becomes even more toxic when Stiles complains about Malia leaving marks on him, hurting him during sex, and he gets teased for it. No one considers it a problem that Malia is scratching him. He’s expected to be appreciative of it/like it.

There’s the possessiveness, yes. Scott does some really fucked up, possessive things. Like freaking on Allison when Lydia introduces her to other guys, or getting angry from the sidelines just because Jackson is talking to Allison, not even flirting with her. Or running off to attack Jackson AND Allison (because there’s no proof he was only going after Jackson, and he’s only ever been able to follow allison’s scent across town, so he couldn’t have specifically been looking for Jackson) after she broke up with him. Throwing Isaac into a wall for liking Allison, even though they’ve been broken up for FOUR MONTHS. I can’t think of any more at the moment. But it’s a lot. BUT. We also see possessive behavior from Malia (yeah, she was an actual coyote for years, but she’s still a woman.) and similar amounts of aggression throughout the seasons from most of the shifters, implying that the habit is born from the werewolf/shifter thing, and not specifically Scott being toxicly masculine. (It’s still not good, but it’s not technically toxic masculinity.)

Aggression I think we can all agree is a shifter-wide phenomenon.

So, yeah, there’s instances that come across this way, and there’s also evidence that some of it is werewolf related, not scott related. I’m torn.

Anyway, again, I’ve talked way too much. If there are moments from later in the show that I’m missing that specifically prove/disprove these points, I’d love to know about it and check it out! I feel you Anon, Scott is infuriating and you’re in good company. <3

ok i’m back with an updated wishlist (that’s a little better formatting i think?? who knows). so if ur interested in anything below, send me a mesage or like the post and i’ll reach out to you!

anyway i’m joey, a 24 y o enby (they/she), looking for some f/f, m/m or any/nb plots preferably. i prefer writing on either tumblr or discord, and plotting on discord bc tumblr ims are,,, messy. can’t link bc tumblr butchered the tags but the rest of my rp info can be found on my blog.

plots.

werewolves - i have this idea where one muse is a werewolf who lives with their mum or dad in a cabin in the woods and second muse is a newly turned wolf who has no idea what’s going on so A has to adopt them and help them through their first shifts and introduce them to the world of wolves and what not. bonus points if its nordic/scandinavian with big norse mythology vibes

period vampires! i don’t have much to say for this one bc there’s lots of directions we could go, i would rly love to play a jodie comer fc for this perhaps..., kind of like interview with a vampire/anne rice style vampires maybe?

i love anything to do with fae lore, esp the rly traditional stuff. also love anything from holly blacks’ fae verses. changeling plots are particuarly *chef’s kiss*. i also have a fae bard (indya moore fc) that i app’d a group with and then said group died before it started so let me live the dream.

i have a faulty android muse that i’d love to plot with in a setting based off cypberpunk 2077 (or the original 2020 ttrpg). based on this super old comic from tumblr where the android escapes half-broken from the corp that made them and breaks into a techies’ shop to fix themselves up

fantasy mumus in settings like the elder scrolls or dragon age or a generic ass fantasy settings where we could just make a bunch of ocs and stick ‘em together in a guild like in ur standard dungeons and dragons set up. i have a lot of dnd ocs. and a lot of them will never be used in games so??

something rly cutesy and farmcore with like stardew valley/animal crossing/harvest moon vibes plot where its all whimsical and rural and fervently anti-capitalist but has maybe some soft fantasy vibes (look i just rewatched the animal crossing film and im,, in love once again, bonus for older muses looking for a city escape). i also saw this post that mentioned a witch running a cat shelter like that it;s thats the ship. cat shelter witch x former corporate wage slave turned farm girl. i’m a genious.

okay so my thing with fandoms like hp is that all the rps out there are canon or semi-canon and i just want all ocs, burn everything jkr loves and remake hp into something less racist and transphobic.

girl’s. boarding. schools. enough said. could either have a dark academia vibe with a murder mystery OR ghosts/cults/general spooky stuff (or both??).

have any of y’alll read angelology? nun and a cute academic team up to stop nephilim from destroying the world with gabriel’s lyre and then it turns out nun is a nephilim and academic is like actually, nope and suddenly they’re enemies? Love that

fandoms.

so i’ll rp anything in these verses. preferably oc but there are some canons i rly want to do as well.

the elder scrolls, fallout, dragon age, the witcher, borderlands, stardew valley, dishonored, life is strange, cyberpunk 2020, animal crossing, pokemon, adventure time, she-ra and the princesses of power, the raven cycle, any holly black book, percy jackson, the magnus archives, welcome to the nightvale

particularly looking for a bubbleline or catradora plot right now!!

faceclaims.

i usually pick the fc to match the muse rather than start with fcs, but these are the ones i’m particularly interested in using! they’re not extensive lists and i’m generally open to anyone that isn’t too problematic

female - hunter schafer, zendaya coleman, barbie feirrera, natasha liu bordizzo, moon gayoung, krystal jung, neve campbell, rachel weisz, tati gabrielle, kiernan shipka, alisha wainwright, lalisa manoban, kimiko glenn, sophie skelton, naomi scott, anya chalotra, maya hawke, emmy rossum, shay mitchell, ryan destiny, lyrica okao, tessa thompson, jodie comer, arden cho, bruna marquezine, maisie williams, danielle mcdonald, aisha dee, natalie dyer, doona bae, malese jow, sofia byrant, alisha boe, medalian rahimi, hayley kiyoko, jessica parker kennedy, vanessa morgan, lana condor, summer bishil, zoe love smith, erinn westbrook, candice patton, danielle pineda, madelyn cline, madison bailey, brianne tju, park chae wo

male - rome flynn, reece king, gabriel darku, nick robinson, gavin leatherwood, aubrey joseph, keiynan lonsdale, seo kang joon, aron piper, ryan potter, michael cimino, rudy pankow, jonathon daviss, jordan fisher, avan jogia, taron egerton,

non-binary - indya moore, liv hewson, theo germaine, chella man

(look im a lesbian who only fouses on pretty girls don’t @ me)

#1x1 #1x1 rp #discord rp #discord 1x1 #wishlist

SOME LISTS BY DINA HORNREICH

In a not-so comprehensive (mostly desultory) manner I have thrown this list of current zeitgeisty kinds of things that I encountered in one way or another that had various compelling bits, chunks, and other substantial nuggets (if not their complete entirety) of a musical persuasion that provided something engaging, amusing, enlightening, challenging, discordant, or otherwise worthwhile for my freaky mind, body, and soul to chew on in this last year of 2019. There are always tons and tons of things that I missed and/or never got to (but always meant to) so not exhaustive whatsoever. More a reflection of where I’ve been these days and how I’ve gotten here... (and will try to remain, if circumstances allow.)

● Sacred Paws: Run Around the Sun (Merge)

● Trash Kit: Horizon (Upset the Rhythm)

● A-WA: Bayti Fi Rasi (BMG)

● Sleater-Kinney: The Center Won’t Hold (Mom + Pop)

● Ex Hex: It’s Real (Merge)

● Angel Olsen: All Mirrors (Jagjaguwar)

Happy New Year, ladies and germs. Who knows what the next decade will bring? Whatever it may be, let it be progress rather than random changes for no apparently good reasons.

if you wanna know how sucking scott summers' dick started being mainstream: everyone and their mom hated cyclops. no one wanted to talk about liking him. literally his entire tag was anti cyclops spam

then i stumbled upon cosmic's blog @scotty-summers and because i am way meaner than they are, i got real loud and annoying on their posts, and in their eternal benevolence @maxximoffed reblogged some of my posts, therefore making me valid in the eyes of god and the xmen fandom. And now cyclops is king. be the change you want to be in the world.

Justice League #32

He's leading them to Trump, isn't he?

If I'm ever time traveling with friends and somebody corrects me when I say, "Where are we?", by saying, "Don't you mean, 'When are we?'", I will fucking murder them.

Sometimes you read something by a writer and it just makes you think, "How much do they actually read?" I get that Snyder is a writer and not a reader but I really expect him to keep from writing stupid fucking shit lines from a time traveler like "When are we?" The argument could be made that, as much as I hate when somebody says that in a time travel movie, Snyder is just fucking tickled pink and couldn't wait to use that line in one of his own stories. But it would be a terrible argument and I would despise whoever made it.

This confirms one of two things: this isn't the real Lex Luthor who would never rely on something as ephemeral and unsure as faith or Scott Snyder seriously fucked this shit up.

Fuck faith and fuck everybody who thinks faith is a virtue. Also fuck everybody who is now desperate to explain to me how we all rely on faith to a certain extent, even with scientific data and theories. We need a new word for evidence-based faith. Maybe one exists and I'm too stupid to know what it is. But if somebody says I'm experiencing faith when I expect the sun to rise every morning, I simply assume they don't really understand faith. Or science. Or evidence, even. I'm also not saying don't have faith if you want to! But I am saying, "Fuck you if you expect me to think you're more virtuous because you have faith." Just believing in something you can't know is true because you desperately want it to be doesn't make you somehow stronger than other people. It makes you sad and desperate and willing to believe any fucking lie that comes along as long as it's something you want to believe. Oh, maybe the evidence-based faith word is expectation? I expect certain things to happen based on past experience and current mathematical and scientific understandings of the reality we perceive! I suppose the closest I get to faith is believing that I'm going to be alive tomorrow and then the next day and then the day after that. But I'm also prepared for a really hearty shrug of my shoulders when the plane I'm in suddenly begins its terminal nosedive. So, again, it's probably just more of an expectation. Back in the 1940s, John Stewart and Barry Allen fight side-by-side with the Justice Society, a group of superheroes that everybody only recently learned existed. Who are these mysterious heroes? Why are so many of them blatant rip-offs of DC's other characters?! How many people almost thought, for half a second, that I really didn't know who they were?! In the future, the Justice League and Justice Legion A battle the greatest version of Brainiac ever devised!

This issue is so crazy that this isn't the final page revelation!

I'm sure Snyder's initial pitch was for the Justice League to battle Brainiac Infinity but editorial told him he had to leave some room for future Brainiac-based disasters. I bet if Scott Lobdell had written this, the Justice League would be battling Brainiac Omnillion.

I stood up and cheered.

No matter how many times I've said in this blog that I stood up and cheered, I never actually stood up and cheered. I just need everybody to know my commitment to not actually getting out of a chair. Back at Pearl Harbor, two Justice Leagues can't defeat the Legion of Doom so Aquaman arrives to save the day by defeating the Legion of Doom with a giant octopus and, I mean, my suspension of disbelief is really fucking being strained today. So apparently he wasn't a traitor. He just made a friend who sent him back in time to help the Justice League save the omniunimultiverse. The secret to saving everything is in Atlantis! Notice the Justice Society never had a useless underwater hero. That's why they were the superior team. The big surprise ending was not the revelation of Brainiac One Million nor the revelation that Aquaman was alive and also saving the day unbelievably. The real big issue ending revelation was that the Anti-Monitor has decided to join the Justice League to defeat his mother and the Legion of Doom! Although is it really that surprising that somebody chose to side against their mother? Or is that just me? Justice League #32 Rating: B+. Fine, I'm enjoying this disaster! In historic comic book terms, it's not a disaster at all. It's a fucking ginormous super event! It's the Year of the Villain, snitches! Snyder has taken the concept of The Legion of Doom, which we all fucking love to death (don't fucking deny it, asshole!), and shot it up with steroids and Special K! This comic book makes me want to do five different types of drugs at once and fuck a dolphin. Damn, that should be the blurb on the eventual collected edition of this story!

So are you telling me that Tessa is this evil monster? I really don't get an explanation for vm friendly behaviour with e/o and their families during TYCT if Tessa would has been such an awful person to him this summer. The Potue thing, if true, is a consequence of him dating J. And btw I think that Tessa just stopped the rl with him this summer and for whatever reason I don't think she deserves all this hate.

On this blog we demand receipts, proof, evidence. If you want to condemn people, burn them on the stake, Paint a Big A on them you go Chelsanitys & Associates. Just a friendly reminder though her gaydar is not presently working due to frigid temperatures in her region. Also she’s not accepting any new clients unless they are from The New Zealand, Australian regions.

its pretty cold here as well.

crack theory: her anti-tessa source is actually jackie or someone close to jackie. perhaps jackie somehow convinced scott and co. and all of ilderton (incl. dawn) that his relationship with tessa is toxic bc she wont give him what he wants and that somehow trickled down to us? bc vm’s relationship isn’t toxic. its the environment and the people around them (incl fans, ESPECIALLY jackie, honestly p much all of ontario is cursed) who are toxic. if it was toxic they wouldn’t be 3x ogm trust me. not even with therapy. they absolutely thrive only when they’re on the same page and in their bubble. anyways idg why C wants scott to stay away from tessa? i thought she was a fan of their skating??? because the more scott avoids tessa, the worse things will get and the likelihood that they’ll never skate again increases. scott’s constant sexcations = avoidant behaviour = maladapative coping mechanism which jq enables and c is somehow encouraging now for whatever reason lol.

Corning launches Gorilla Glass DX and DX + for better phone cameras

https://theministerofcapitalism.com/blog/corning-launches-gorilla-glass-dx-and-dx-for-better-phone-cameras/

Sometime in 2019, phone buyers just started accepting ugly camera modules. The extraordinarily good photographs captured by these cameras justified their three- or six-eye designs. And by 2020, society’s far greater evils prevailed over outrage over sealed-sized camera shots.

Where consumers saw baffling camera modules, glassmaker Corning saw opportunities. Corning, which these days is best known for making the Gorilla glass covering almost all high-end smartphones, he noted that the latest smartphone camera designs were more prone to scratches, both because of the enlarged surface area of the lens modules and the way the lenses of the phones protrude. When they appear scratched enough on the lens, the quality of the photo begins to suffer. Turns out there’s a glass for that.

Corning has announced today its latest compound: a new version of Gorilla Glass optimized for smartphone camera lenses. Technically there is already a version of the new compound, called Gorilla Glass DX and DX +; in July 2018, the company launched this product for use on smartwatch faces, promoting its “improved optical clarity, sunlight readability, exceptional hardness and scratch resistance”. But Corning had to redesign the DX and DX + compound for smartphones so it could claim a certain level of scratch resistance. without compromising photo and video quality essentially by maximizing the amount of optical clarity while selling durability.

“We’re seeing requirements for better light management start to emerge in a couple of different device verticals,” says Scott Forester, Corning’s vice president of marketing and innovation for the company’s Gorilla Glass division. “As smartphone camera systems become more sophisticated, all these lenses and this bump away from the camera have caused scratches. [Manufacturers] I said, “Well, I can’t use an anti-reflective film, so I just have to deal with what I have today,” which is mostly glass. “

Forester describes how the properties of this compound make it more ideal for camera cover lenses for smartphones. Cover lenses typically have an anti-reflective coating, which reduces glare and allows more light through the lens, allowing only 95% of the light available on the camera’s sensor to reach. Corning claims that this new version of DX and DX + for smartphone lenses allows the camera to capture 98% of the light while maintaining the scratch resistance of the standard Gorilla Glass. (It also states that the DX + product is close to the scratch-resistant qualities of sapphire crystal, a synthetic material known for its durability, transparency and the cost it brings to appliances.)

Video credit: Corning

Corning declined to share which specific phone models will be shipped soon with Gorilla Glass DX or DX +. And consistent with its past behavior, Corning declined to comment on the nature of its partnership with Apple. He said Samsung will be the first customer to use Gorilla Glass DX for the camera covers of their smartphones. Samsung is it is expected to unveil at least five new products next month at its annual Unpacked Summer event, which could include folding phones and new laptops; it’s likely to be the official launch of this new Corning product as well, though Corning didn’t confirm that.

Corning isn’t the only manufacturer looking to enhance photos from smartphones, no matter how progressive, with technology designed to enhance lenses instead of image sensors. Julian Chokkattu of WIRED wrote earlier this year about a startup called Metalenz, which replaces the current stack of multiple camera lenses with a single lens built on a small glass wafer.

“Look very closely at the microscope and you will see nanostructures that measure one-thousandth the width of a human hair,” Chokkattu wrote. “These nanostructures bend light rays in a way that corrects many of the shortcomings of single-lens camera systems.” This space-saving technology, if widespread, could allow more phone manufacturers to put sensors and cameras under the screen and could be used in other products.

No ugly camera shots, you say? Register me … even though we have already forgiven its existence.
