Jason, Reyna, and Nico have one billion in-jokes about Mediterranean history between the bronze age to the renaissance that they find absolutely hilarious and no one else understands in the slightest. i know this in my heart to be true.

#pjo #riordanverse #jason grace #reyna ramírez-arellano #nico di angelo #im just saying. reyna and jason are canonically HUGE history nerds and nico is at least a huge mythology nerd #though also is heavily implied to *also* be a history nerd #dude's special interests are pirates and world mythology you KNOW he has one specific segment of history he's obsessed with #plus he canonically use to travel all around italy and knows a bunch of historical places and their contexts #those three all accidentally ended up best friends with each other and now they have a BFFs trio of geeking out over ancient rome #theyre in so deep with layered in-jokes that one will just shout a singular word and the other two will double-over laughing #and nobody can fathom how this is funny and no the explanation of the historical context is not helping

The ‘American Feelings Yakuza’ article reminded me of something that’s been brewing in my head for a couple years about Japanese media and the rise of antis. Like, there's always been inflammatory bad faith criticism of characters and ships due to ship wars, but I think antis in the modern sense started to really gel when we started getting really obviously anime-inspired American cartoons by creators who actually grew up on anime and the fandoms that emerged around them (See Avatar, Korra, Steven Universe, and Voltron: Legendary Defender).

Like, it’s not wrong to like those shows, but I do think they tended to be especially efficient spawning vats for modern anti rhetoric and behavior for some reason, and I think the way the Japanese cartoon aesthetics were removed from their original context (Japanese culture, especially their post-war period) and sanitized for the consumption of American viewers that lent itself to batshit, self-entitled fandoms who spread their attitudes like a mind-virus.

#like americans struggle with the more indulgent aspects (fanservice) AND the more hard-hitting confronting portrayal of violence and trauma #imo voltron is an especially egregious case because it's a reboot of an already heavily altered and Americanized dub #but then look at disney. maybe appropriating and sanitizing art from other culture's is kinda american animation's original sin #decline of people actually travelling to japan doesn't help (plus covid)#antis #anti discourse #proship #proship discourse #shipping #fandoms #fandom discourse #geek culture #nerd culture #animation #cartoons #anime #weebs #weeb culture #manga

Bailey completely erases his own inherent elegance for Tim Laughlin, an awkward but forcefully intelligent and idealistic man. Bailey wears Tim’s heart everywhere, his eyes conveying fierce adoration, shock, disgust, and arousal, sometimes simultaneously. As formidable as Laughlin can be, Bailey never lets us forget the storming internal conflict threatening to rip him apart. Bailey and Bomer are terrific together, possessing chemistry that smolders even in their tender moments.

Today is a Red Letter Date in the History of Science, November 5, 1955

On this day in 1955, Doc Brown invented the flux capacitor, which is what makes time travel possible. In Back to the Future that is!

Okay, this is pretty cool. My friend, Neil, and I shot panoramic photos from where we were, at the same time. 8:36 PM London, England and 12:36 PM Victoria, BC.

That one AU I made based on Erased

#work #dcmk #shinran #erased au #don't no if anyone remembers it but i still think a lot about this au #i just like the idea of ran hunting down all these victims in the notebook and investigating them and #trying to somehow prevent their deaths #sort of like a reverse death note #and shinichi being genuinely confused bc he was usually known as the mystery geek #and then this girl who was uninterested in his detective yesterday suddenly begins to befriend him and drag him along to solve or #prevent crimes and sonoko thinks at first that ran has a crush on shinichi and she just wanted to solve mysteries to impress him but #she realizes pretty quickly that there is something serious behind her friend's actions #idk if they will find out that ran is really a time traveler or not yet tho

When is a theme park attraction technically a railway?

I'm not going to make @todayintokyo wait too long on this, because the discussion isn't nearly as spectacular as the question makes it out. In fact, I may not have the exact answer. What I have is maps, and a geeky eye.

This is a railway map of Tokyo, specifically the area around Ueno. We see the massive Ueno station with the Tohoku and Yamanote lines in black, the underground Keisei terminal nearby, and on the left, the green line denotes the Chiyoda subway line. In between, there's this tiny line, just 0.3 km in length (less than a quarter of a mile).

It's the Ueno Zoo Monorail.

Or at least, it was: service ended in 2019 due to escalating maintenance costs. Point is: from a practical standpoint, this was a theme park attraction. And if it's on this map, that's because it was officially a railway. And it's not the only one.

On this map, seen in a timetable book, there's this loop just below Maihara station on the Keiyô line from Tokyo to Chiba. I actually passed Maihara on my last trip to Japan, and saw this myself (but unfortunately, just like Doctor Yellow, no time for photos).

That loop is the Tokyo Disney Resort Monorail.

And it's officially a railway.

And it's got its timetable published in the book! :O

So what makes these officially railways? I don't know for sure, whether it's down to the legal and technical definition of a railway and/or a railway operator, subjecting them to certain standards... What they have in common is that they are monorails, which technically falls under the railway umbrella (whereas, for example, ropeways don't), their purpose is transit albeit within the confines of a park or resort, and charge passengers a fare. Maybe that's all it is.

All I know is, the miniature railway discussion reminded me that I'd noticed that all materials listing or displaying railway lines in Japan will include the Disney Resort Line. It's as if railway maps of Germany included the Europa Park Express monorail.

Roller-coasters wouldn't be classed as railways as they don't provide transit as such (or not the kind we're talking about), and aren't held to transit standards. But, they are vehicles on steel rails, right?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
