#very fancy wow !!

hate to say it, but part of ending the stigma around sexual assault means not assuming every woman blames herself. yes, female socialization encourages it, but that doesn’t make it a given, and the goal of all of these campaigns is to eventually diminish the proportion of women who do blame themselves. it is entirely possible, and increasingly common, for women to experience sexual assault and not feel shame or guilt, which we should be happy about. but instead, there are only so many times you can hear “you know it’s not your fault, right?” before it sounds like “it was your fault”. and there’s only so many times you can hear “don’t blame yourself” before it sounds like “you should blame yourself”. because it feels good to say, doesn’t it? sure, you don’t believe she’s guilty, but you do believe she should feel guilty, so that you can disabuse her of the notion. just something to consider.

#i think we are very pleased with the idea of female shame #even among people who genuinely do not believe women are at fault for being assaulted #you are still meant to pay the penance of suffering and self destruction #god fucking knows why #“i got mugged” “aww don’t blame yourself for walking around with those fancy shoes and visible wallet okay? it’s not your fault” #you’d be like girl what. i didn’t fucking say it was my fault but your mind sure jumped there fast 🤨 #“my mom died” “wow. do you feel terrible crippling shame for everything you’ve ever done wrong in your life? #up to and including causing your mom’s death? because that would be totally wrong if you did” #like how could that possibly be an appropriate response #genuinely i think the feeling that i was going completely insane post-being raped because no one would believe i didn’t blame myself #was like. solidly half as traumatic as the actual event #like. it is okay not to feel guilty and shameful. it’s great actually. you’re not having the wrong response.

i have this image of modern au denji saving you from a terrible date LOL

he works at some high-class restaurant with his tucked shirt and tie—a job that aki got him—waiting tables and occasionally cleaning dishes. and you're there, in a nice dress, on a second date with a man you don't really care for, that is a bit pig-headed about how much money he makes and worries way too much for how people perceive him. he's not bad, but the conversation keeps coming back to him and all his accomplishments and there's little he appreciates about you and suddenly you find yourself excused to use the bathroom.

except you just hide. around the corner, with your back pressed into the wall as you try to summon the motivation to get through the rest of the night. you don't know how you'll do it, really, until this guy is coming out of the kitchen to your left with a tray in his hands and he looks right at you, a little surprised that you're there, and then he smiles and nods. when he returns from dropping off his food, he comes to stand right beside you, leaning against the wall like he's not on the job, and he tells you—

"you look beautiful in that dress."

and you're floored ??? because who even ARE YOU ??? but he's so open and honest 🥺 and even if his face is a lil blushy, he just—says it. no shame. after spending the last hour with a guy you're not sure even remembers your name, it's nice to hear, and he's cute with his pretty, sparkly eyes and crooked smile 🥺

he can tell you're clearly not enjoying yourself, so he just nods to the kitchen at your left. "there's a door to the back, if you wanna ditch."

under normal circumstances, would you bail on your date? no, probably not, wouldn't have the guts, but there's something about this guy and his lil open mouth smile and unabashed goo-goo eyes that has you thinking fuck it. odd that a stranger would give you such a confidence boost, but now you wonder why you're subjecting yourself to some half-ass treatment, why you've been settling for guys like the man at your table.

you can do better than that—probably—and somehow this waiter is reminding you of your worth.

so you do allow him to lead you through the kitchen, and he couldn't care less about his coworkers staring at him, couldn't care less about the strawberry-blonde girl washing dishes that shouts, "denji, get over here and help me!"

you have this brief moment of panic once you get out into the alley that this is a trap you've fallen right into, but he—denji—just stands beside you on the sidewalk, staring down the road like he's watching for a cab.

"i don't—" embarrassingly enough, you're just now noticing how empty-handed you are. "shit, i don't have any of my stuff."

"oh," he shrugs, no problem. "i'll get it, you just find a ride. i don't have a license or else i would—y'know."

it's just so strange, that he's so giving. like he'd go out of his way to help you just because he can. not because he expects any money or for you to sleep with him, he's just—helping because he could. because he thinks you look beautiful in your dress.

he doesn't say anything about your date when he returns, just hands you your phone and jacket and wallet with his same lil smile. and you've got a taxi waiting with the door open and he just stands on the sidewalk with his hands in his pockets, making sure you get in okay, and the final straw is when he says—

"congrats on your job thing, by the way."

job thing, that you told your date about, who didn't even blink at your good news. wherever he was—denji—whatever table he was helping, and he still heard you.

you keep the cab door open, one foot in and—under normal circumstances, would you do this? probably not, wouldn't have the guts, but he's so—

"hey," you say, leaning against the doorframe with a smile that makes his face redder under the streetlamp. "what time is your shift over?"

and this guy—denji—just grins, already tugging at his tie. "whenever you want it to be."

#he's so sjfheuahba i wanna squish him #wanna kiss his lil face #this admittedly is a flaw he needs to work on but—denji will do anything for a woman LOL #aw aw and then you have this weird night with your waiter #you in a fancy dress and him in a baggy dress shirt #sharing ice cream too late in the night out on the streets #no responsibilities #i think he's a very 'say first think second' kind of guy #so he will openly be like WOW YOU'RE GORGEOUS !!! #is not trying to play it cool or hard to get #he's INTO YOU and he's not afraid to say it lmao #denji drabble #okay time to make a spot on my masterlist #✿ willow writes #✿ thoughts: denji

ok i knew kabru switched up his attitude when talking to toshiro and his party but damn it’s another thing to actually hear it

#jumping yippee seeing hien and tade my friends then immediately after going wow maizuru talks very polite and fancy (of course but its still #cool to hear) #and then the gears r turning. #kabrus polite unassuming voice the schemer #i still don’t have a super certain grasp on how common personal pronoun changes are in japanese but kabru is breaking out the boku and #the polite speech i can tell that much <- guy who point out the obvious. i love seeing the way he talks to anyone who’s not his party… #and i rly like mickbell’s voice actor. daya’s too #dungeon meshi spoilers

dear gods i adore horror tbh but i am way too sensitive to it

#⋯ ꒰ა starry thoughts ໒꒱ *·˚ #idk how to describe 'sensitive' rn i'm dying in the head i should be asleep but Man!!!!! #i search up tons of horror stuff for funsies. movies uhh creepypastas stories real life events etc. fun! #BUT it freaks me out wayyy too much. bcs i really don't deal well w Those feelings of paranoia. #my imagination too good i was scared at night going to sleep bcs i'd imagine what to do if an intruder came in from the bedroom door #or bathroom door and think of how i'd escape Death......... #Did Not Help my area before was kinda yk. chillax. chillax meaning grassy tree-sy backyard overgrown trees #old-ish in a filipino chill neighborhood that isn't very fancy ?????? idk. #and the fact one time my dad almost died and someone standing close to him Did die so. haha. traumatized from that. #I WASN'T THERE..... but i rmbr my dad coming home and the news absolutely terrified me. anyway! #wow... rambling on tumblr at 3 and a half am... Nostalgic. #anyway yeah i love love love horror stuff but i am !!! so bad w them !!! like jesus christ i adore resident evil and bloodborne #is my whole bloodline. or something. but i can't even watch my twin kill 1 zombie in a re game Demo (she can't do it either) #and i can only make it to killing the first monster in bloodborne and explore a tiny bit where there are still no enemies. god. #AAAGGGGHHHhhhh ... and the first point of horror in omori then i stop playing for months...... even tho i rlly wna play more :(( #2024 ........ cmon... i will try to overcome my fears more. #i've improved somewhat at least! ...from when i was younger. like. man. i could never stay in night-time in games ever. #ffxv? nah i always have to travel at morning. only when i got strong enough that daemons were nothing to me did i stop #getting scared. ouuughhh... and i always try to be stealthy in games........... for many reasons ofc but 1. Scared #okay i shut up now. apollo rambles of tonight: done and over!

i truly and honestly believe that it would have been much funnier if snw had spock just. 100% miss out on anything crazy that happened. time travel shenanigans? he was in the lab. ship invaded? meditating. gets split into two separate versions of himself? no wonder reports were getting done twice as fast!

man has the most normal and boring starship tour of his life up until the events of the cage happen, remains totally unimpressed with humans and the federation in general, and then hops aboard with kirk and experiences the most batshit five years of his whole life

#of course he still considers pike a father figure #but that's because pike always checks up on him after something suitably bugnuts has gone down #(partially to see if he's okay and also just to see if he even noticed) #spock of course having no idea that anything happened at all: 'wow he genuinely likes me! and cares about me!' #'i'm sure no one almost died :)' #meanwhile the rest of the crew is shaking as they pour their morning coffees bc mirror sam kirk tried to blow up the universe or something #and spock's like 'that was a fascinating treatise you wrote on interdimensional diplomacy uhura :) if only it were plausible' #uhura: buster if you don't get your fancy lyre and play me a soothing little ditty right now i will end your career #idk i think it would be VERY funny if he just had the most normal time before he met kirk and that's when it all fell apart #also we'd get more episodes to focus on the characters we've never actually gotten any material for. what a concept #(i love spock but he's had Movies about his life by now. give me la'an in the roaring 20s i dare you) #star trek #strange new worlds #spock #oxly hollers

Erin and Orla might’ve both had crushes on James it’s just that Orla never repressed it because they never saw a problem with it and so was able to just let it pass and get over it while Erin repressed it, it blossomed against her will because she kept denying it until it was impossible to any more and well, we know what happened next.

#derry girls #erin quinn #james maguire #orla mccool #james x erin #erin x james #james x orla #orla x james #Jerin #Jorla #listen this isn’t my headcanon because I’m pretty set on ace/aro spectrum Orla and they’re only with someone #in very specific circumstances in my head #but I mean - it’s certainly possible that the only difference between the two cousins #is that Orla isn’t so lost in their own sauce like Erin so they just didn’t bother denying to themselves #kinda fancying the English boy while Erin was like “BACK JAMES THOUGHTS BACK FROM WHENCE YOU CAME” #and it backfired tremendously #so one day they discover Anna’s puppy love crush on James and Michelle’s like #“wow what is it about your family that you’re all into HIM of all people” #and Erin points out that Orla never liked James #and Orla corrects her like “Yes I did #and Erin is like *squints*

Every day I wake up and horrified by the implications of AI on the entertainment industry….a lot of my friends are going to lose their jobs and starve to death because Elon Musk thought it’d be fun to fund a machine that automatically steals artists’ work against their will to create generic algorithmically generated mass market slop.

I feel like I’m going crazy because everyone pretends they care about how “popular media sucks now because it’s all created to be as generically marketable/similar to other things as possible, almost like it’s algoritmically generated >:(“ but then they’re also like “WOW COOL AI ART!”

Like dudes???? Don’t you understand that supporting AI art means that you’re supporting eliminating and eviscerating any last vestiges of humanity from art……..a company will definitely settle for “mass produced AI slop generated by an algorithm to look as similar as possible to whatever generic popular slop came before” if it means they don’t have to pay a human being.

And that’s not even going into the way that these algorithms monetize themselves……some of them have “free” tiers now but that’s extremely likely to change in the future. I can’t wait until the most prolific “comic artists” of our times are like, hedge fund managers who can afford to buy 1000000 prompts on Dall-E.

And once that starts happening more we’ll all be drowning in a tidal wave of hollow empty shallow algorithmically generated “”””art””””” created by machines that can’t feel, think, intend, or care— machines that can only rip off the artists they were designed to replace, the artists whose actually meaningful thoughtful creations were stolen to provide their training data.

I hate all of this, and I hate the mass callous indifference to it. I am baffled that people don’t see the dangers of a future where none of our art is created by people who care— by people who are trying to mean something and to say something and to connect with you from one person to another—but by algorithms mindlessly mashing pixels together. It’s going to be horrible. Especially because in a time of climate change and intense social stress/collapse it’s going to be very important to connect with other people through art, but AI removes humanity from art entirely. If climate change wasn’t likely to cause the collapse of society anyway I’d say that if we keep heading in this direction the art and entertainment industry is a bit doomed

#ai art #anyway! #i feel like I’m losing my mind seeing everyone be like #‘wow it’s so amazing I created this with Ai -heart eyes- #like you didn’t create anything…. #Elon musk funded dall e so its more like you just commissioned Elon musk’s fancy machine for a drawing #the moment they remove the free tier from dall e you’re fucked lol #anyway #i have had absolutely no faith in the entertainment industry for a very long time #(it’s the ‘studying to work in the entertainment industry and making friends in it’ burnout ) #so yee #it’s all cutthroat #if I wasn’t so sure we were heading towards some kind of greater infrastructure collapse #I’d be more sad about it #as it is I have a lot of other things to be sad about #but thankfully I have a decent job out of college #because I studied 3D stuff #which can’t be replaced yet

Thinking again about adapting a couple of my characters from ~2012 and I've got the perfect names for adapting them but... they didn't really... do anything? in the stories they were in. So how do I make a story with them. They had jobs and names and cute-coloured uniforms. That's just about it. And yet!

#writeblr #writers on tumblr #writing #I'm still waffling about the variant of a name for one of them I want to use #as I have been since I saw a version of a name in a book I read in 2020. and I was like. oh. OH. i could use this #why did i think of them again? well there's this one song that was on the radio I listened to when I designed one of them and— #lol one wore taupe and one wore i think mauve and i was so proud of myself in 2012 for choosing 'fancy' colours XD #anyway if a C. LaCoeur (or Laurelan? I'm still deciding that too) and a C. Courtenay turn up in a book someday. this post is abt them #(I'm leaning again towards LaCoeur for her last name.... still haven't settled on the first name final version yet alack and alas) #created in 2012 and trying to adapt them since 2019 and wow is it not working very swiftly!
