not to be a hedonist but humans are meant for pleasure. we play, we laugh, we dance. we have sex for pleasure, eat for pleasure. we bare our teeth as a sign of joy, not aggression. humans are meant to enjoy things. its in our very nature.

can we stop pretending that anyone assigned female at birth has some mystical connection to womanhood or lesbianism. it’s such a conservative outlook on identity i can’t believe we have to even pretend to entertain it.

the way I absolutely loved the look of hatred Perlah gave this woman when she judged Emma for leaving
There is something i really hate about the whole "It's good because its yours", "Its good because you didn't used ai" whenever someone is concerned about quality of own work.
How it being mine make it any good by default? Not using ai should the bare minimum not a proof of greatness, few years ago, before ai become mainstream, the same work would be just bad, but now is good just because i did it... well, exactly the same as i would?
I can't just speak about my concerns about own work without being hit with "WELL AT LEAST ITS NOT AI", but what does that really change? It may be better than ai and still not very good in human scale.
When your friend is in doubt you can always tell them what you like about it, or give them a hint what they can work on, but there is no reality in which "so yeah there is nothing good about it, but you are tiny bit better than a soulless machine" is helpful or encouraging.
"Its shit but at least its your shit" feels like insult and not encouragement.
Pope Leo XIV wrote 42.3K words on human dignity in the age of AI. (But Ellipsus has written over 65K words on the topic since 2023. 💪)
Solidarity is a weird thing… all of a sudden you’re seeing the Pope on your dash and the tea is… piping hot? (To offset the Vatican.va link, here's a tl;dr from The Onion.) ... Look at him go!
(Disagreements with his Holiness aside, it’s great to see a powerful figure power taking the side of the people.) ... EDIT: Wake up babe, a new Inquisition just dropped - apparently, not even the Pope can escape being wrongly accused by AI "verifiers."
The small voice in your head that says: "I don't need to write down every small detail of this plot idea, I love it so much, I'll remember this."
That's the devil speaking.
i've searched every combination of words imaginable and i still can't find that gif of the german star trek parody where gay spock is quickly drinking coffee and smoking freaking out PLEASE send it to me i need it urgently

since becoming a barista i have noticed a few very distinct typologies among my customers. such as:
the woke left: young and fashionable. visible tattoos. often enjoys matcha, lavender flavoring, oat milk, and cold foam. pretty decent customers.
sweet old man: drinks very sweet iced lattes, pays in cash, puts all of his change in the tip jar. sometimes orders hot coffee and i get scared that his shaky old man hands will spill it and he'll get burned but that has not yet happened and god willing never shall.
evil old man: only wants drip coffee and declares it ridiculous that any other form of coffee exists. some variants only want americanos and these variants are even scarier. watch out.
sweet old woman: might need her daughter's help to order but is very bubbly and open to trying new things. compliments baristas freely and frequently.
evil old woman: does not want coffee and only wants sweet tea or soda. will not tip even if she spends three hours in the shop repeatedly asking baristas to fetch things for her.
errand husband: either stiltedly recites an order to you or shows you the order in their texts/notes app. needs to step out of line and make a phone call if you ask any follow-up questions.
grindset girlie: always wearing scrubs, an apron, and/or a name tag. orders the exact same thing every day and knows the exact change she'll need to pay for it. her regular order is both extremely caffeinated and extremely sweet.
#mamabear: is actively wrangling two to four children while ordering. order changes repeatedly because the children cannot decide if they want a muffin or a cookie or apple juice or chocolate milk etc. for some reason these women are always wearing an article of clothing or carrying some personalized item that says "mama" on it.
schoolchildren: band of two to eight adolescents hanging out after school. extremely indecisive but generally quite polite and tip well.
amnesiac in love: grown adult who needs their partner to tell them what they like. gets asked a question about their own preferences and turns to their partner to answer for them. generally acts like a shy child looking to their guardian for behavioral cues if you try to interact with them and only wants to talk to mommy i mean their wife.
this of course is not an exhaustive list but those are just some of the most consistent Types i get. ok bye xoxo
Well shit, Henry Jenkins, out here in 1997 dropping truth bombs
Oh hey I need this for a research paper I'm writing, thank you!
i mean he had been out here since 1988 dropping such bombs:
"'fandom' is a vehicle of marginalized subcultural groups (women, the young, gays, etc.) to pry open space for their cultural concerns within dominant representations; it is a way of appropriating media texts and rereading them in a way that serves different interests, a way of transforming mass culture into a popular culture"
Jenkins, Henry. “Star Trek Rerun, Reread, Rewritten: Fan Writing as Textual Poaching.” Critical Studies in Mass Communication 5, no. 2 (1988): 85–107. https://doi.org/10.1080/15295038809366691.
there are even some earlier works in fan studies but that’s what i have ready to hand.

Any tips for creating ocs from each region of teyvat?
I feel like desing questions usually focus on general stuff like traits typical for genshin designs, nad its good to have those foundations, but what are things you think people should keep in mind for creating oc from each nation?
Either if its related to reallife inspirations of those region, or its something coming from the lore, it can be a detail that bring characters from the nation together or whole elaborate essay of what you notice, it can be anything that comes to your mind!
