I'm literally about to start messaging people whom i think would enjoy immortal days and beg them to read it I'm about to become the niche comic equivalent of those door to door vacuum cleaner sellers
It's a korean webcomic written by an extremely tumblrina minded author set in an evil fake woke future where everyone has become immortal and mortals are thought extinct. The premise is that the two mortal protagonists (both of whom up until that point were convinced they were the only mortal on earth) just happen to find each other by accident and then proceed to develop a horrible gay psychosexual relationship with each other. It's not BL but both characters are canonically not straight and the tension between them is very very intentional. The author also has a bit of a preference for including intermissions that delve into random side characters' lesbian relationships for seemingly no reason other than they love yuri. It's crazy good the art is genuinely stunning.
If you can't help but be drawn to gaybait media over actual romance stories and would enjoy being gaybaited by a gay author then go read Immortal Days for me PLEASE ...
Seasons 2 and 3 are available for free on Lezhin which would be better to support the author once you catch up on season 1. Go forth my psionic warriors
had a fascinating english class that resulted in the notes header “the forcefeminization of victor frankenstein”
what the people want, the people get
you see
my professor’s take is that mary shelley is feminizing victor throughout the novel, as a way of flipping gender roles and putting a male character through female experiences.
evidence as explained:
victor is creating life. he is putting his health at risk (spends two years with little sleep or socialization) to bring life forth into this world
his illness after he is shocked by the creature coming to life is akin to both ‘hysteria’ and postpartum depression
he pretty much swoons, let’s be honest
henry clerval, a man who has been characterized as manly and heroic, has to chase after damsel-in-distress victor and care for him as he convalesces
afterward, he hides what he did and went through, for fear that others will label him crazy and emotional and not believe him. sound familiar?
Victor in general is more emotional than the other characters and is constantly tempering his reactions to not be seen as irrational
the book does not otherwise have central female characters
Also, Shelley’s mother died in childbirth. It’s interesting, then, that Shelley presents the creation of life as something horrific and damaging. She parallels Victor with her mother.
in conclusion, Frankenstein (1818) by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is one of the first examples of mpreg in English literature
S-Classes Official Game Fan Translation
You're an ordinary Unawakened in the world of My S-Class Hunters. On the first day of your vacation, you decide to visit Kiseungsu Rearing Facility and you run into Han Yoojin. Will you become an S-Class Hunter or stay an Unawakened? Which Hunter will you follow? Will you discover the truth behind this world? Everything depends on the choices you make!
Happy Han Yoojin day to those who celebrate! 🎂🩷
To celebrate Han Yoojin's birthday, I fan translated the free official S-Classes game written and created by Geunseo! It contains spoilers for the manhwa and light spoilers for the novel, but it's original content that is not directly related to the plot of either.
It features multiple character routes, each with multiple endings. I'll also post guides sporadically on how to get each ending.
Recommended play order. Keep trying until you reach S-rank before moving onto the next! Or if that's too hard, feel free to skip around <3 1. Han Yoohyun 2. Song Taewon 3. Sung Hyunjae 4. Han Yoojin
Download the game here! For Mac users, you may have to install this to run the game as well, with a video guide here. Full disclosure, I do not have a Mac so I do not know if it works. Feel free to send asks or message me if you can't get it working or if you find any typos!
Enjoy playing the game, and remember to wish Han Yoojin a happy birthday! 🎉
Once again John Oliver proves that you can do anything with money and lawyers
Oliver then proceeded to detail how with $50 and knowledge of the law he was able to successfully apply online to create a debt buying company named “Central Asset Recovery Professionals,” or as Oliver put it, “CARP” named after “a bottom-feeding fish.”
After setting up a rudimentary website for CARP, the satirical, but still real company was offered a $15 million package of medical debt for $60,000.
Oliver explained that the debt was out of statute, which means it is the kind of debt that a collector can only continue to collect, but not sue the debtor for.
Then, instead of chasing down the 9,000 debtors in the debt package as a normal collection agency would, Oliver decided to stage the largest one-time giveaway in television history and work with the nonprofit RIP Medical Debt to forgive the $15 million with no consequences for the debtors.
Okay but now I know what I want to do of I get rich?
You dont have to be rich to do a bit of this actually
RIP Medical Debt is a charity (and therefore takes donations). They buy the rights to medical debt and then forgive them. So far they’ve forgiven over 1B in medical debt.
So a little ray of hope for someone out there today.
Donating $10 buys $1,000 of medical debt. This is real, it works, and we’ve done it ourselves. You can too.
As of June 29, 2024, the charity is still active under a new name, Undue Medical Debt
Signal Boost!!!
If you’re Catholic this is a great thing to do for the Jubilee year by the way. Forgive debts and set captives free!
Now renamed as Undue Medical Debt:
Undue Medical Debt makes it easy for donors to make an impactful difference in the lives of those struggling with medical debt.
I got a letter recently letting me know that a $3k medical bill from an emergency room visit in 2018 had been purchased by Undue Medical Debt and destroyed. Gone forever. They were very clear that I didn’t have to do anything, but they would appreciate it if I would talk to people about it to spread the word about what they were doing. Fucking phenomenal.
I got $2k erased last year!

explaining gamergate to future generations: so video games were looked down on for being toys meant for little boys to play with and they didn't like that, so they spent a lot of time and effort crafting elaborate arguments on forums far and wide that video games were serious art and deserved serious analysis, but then they were very unhappy when a woman did exactly that, so in order to prove they weren't a bunch of racist misogynists, they went on a years long harassment campaign against a bunch of women which both ruined the fun of criticizing the star wars sequels *and* eventually helped the United States get rid of federal abortion rights, but at the end of the day it was worth it because all of our video game news is written by ai instead of women with dyed hair
it's important to me to mention that the bulk of this is absolutely wrong. it was never about "ethics in games journalism" or games as art. those were covers for what it really was; a bitter nazi who got dumped by his non-binary partner (who went on to get major acclaim for their game, depression quest). he tried to start a hate mob on the something awful forums to harass them.
except... he was laughed off the site. so he went to 4chan where "ironic" racism had already begun to give way to genuine racism (which it always really had been, but that's a different post).
this is what kick-started the movement, complete with the "it's about ethics in games journalism" cover story (it was claimed zoe quinn traded sexual favors for good reviews) and was used as a means of harassing other women* in gaming.
*yes zoe quinn is non-binary, but chuds didn't care enough to properly gender them.
This led to the full internet blitz and meme of "actually it's about ethics in games journalism" and games as art cover; because "neo nazi got dumped and now wants to create a hate movement to go after his ex" isn't really the noble cause he wanted it to be and even he knew it. 4chan was already in the middle of declaring women functionally evil as this was around the time of the rise of incels, and they had already begun targeting anita sarkeesian. even going so far as to...give her money? we'll get back to this stupid idea.
the rebranding was unfortunately very effective. reddit ate that shit up (that's what r/kotakuinaction was likely for; to reinforce the lie). it didn't help that being a corporate space, games journalism HAD struggled with bias. but not for sexual favors. giant bomb formed because game studios were holding review copies "hostage" for good reviews. the late jeff gertsmann, games journalist and founder of giant bomb, was fired for reasons related to this!
this...didn't seem to register though. oddly enough. because this happened in 2007, and even though gertsmann didn't come forward (likely for legal/nda reasons) about what happened until 2012, gamergate didn't really kick off until 2014. a 7 year gap between a point when everyone began to realize that ethics in games journalism really HAD been compromised... and gamergate insisting it had started. gertsmann creating giant bomb in direct opposition to this idea lead to a different games journalism landscape. 2012 was when polygon formed, even, predating the idea of gamergate in the first place. so there was already a push for this kind of thing before the dude even got dumped!
(fun fact; this is also the start of the rising star of the mcelroy brothers; justin and griffin mcelroy started at polygon as games journalists, but i digress.)
circling back to the "giving anita sarkeesian money was a 4chan op" thing, that organized a campaign to flood her fundraising for feminist frequency with money. why, you ask? because they're fucking stupid! oh and also they wanted the quality she intended to be lacking for the funding she got to "prove" she was a fraud. this worked but not how they wanted; because of the influx of funding she postponed the release to make sure it was worth what she got. the postponing was all they had, insisting she "stole the money", ignoring that she did eventually release the series as promised.
back to gamergate proper, however, steve bannon and i have one thing in common; we saw this shit happening in real time. so, him, being a scummy political leech, used it as an opportunity to kickstart a new, younger, more internet savvy far right movement. this is the reason 4chan is so inextricably connected to the far right these days, and why gaming as a whole is such a cesspool of far right dog whistles, yet why every far right dork seems to hate games journalism.
to summarize, it was never about ethics in games journalism or games as art. it's was a bitter dude who got turned on to neo-nazi bullshit, got dumped by his more successful partner, and handled it by getting laughed out of the something awful forums until 4chan snapped up the burgeoning hate movement and steve bannon gave it legs.
i was there. like, day 1. i was on the something awful forums as well as another, much smaller forum, where we laughed at these dorks.
i watched this shit happen in real time. it's INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT that we never forget that "ethics in games journalism" was the lie, and the POINT was always a harassment campaign against a queer creator who dumped him.
I was not on SA and 4chan, but I was in the YouTube atheist community and I got to watch this bubble up through atheist and skeptic channels like thunderf00t who started making How Feminism Poisons Everything videos about Anita Sarkeesian. I didn't hear about Zoe Quinn et al until atheist chuds (distinguishing here from atheist non-chuds) started screaming about them.
Sarkeesian's Tropes vs Women (which first released in March) was THE SAME YEAR as Elevatorgate (which happened in June). What is Elevatorgate? Rebecca Watson, YouTuber and founder of Skepchick, did a presentation/speech at the World Atheist Convention in Dublin, Ireland. Later she was at the bar until deep into the morning hours, and when she went to go back to her room a man followed her onto the elevator to proposition her. This man, who was never named and didn't accost her, was turned down and then had to stand there awkwardly with her on her way to her floor. This prompted Watson to comment on the event on her periodical YouTube vlog:
I was a single woman, in a foreign country, at 4 a.m., in a hotel elevator with you—just you—and don't invite me back to your hotel room, right after I have finished talking about how it creeps me out and makes me uncomfortable when men sexualize me in that manner.
The community fucking flipped its shit. No less than Richard Dawkins wrote about it condescendingly in his "Dear Muslima" open letter. YouTuber Shaun recently released a (quite long) video about the book "The War On Science" where he addresses what happened and it's probably the best and most succinct telling + analysis I've ever heard (start at 57:30).
"... They ran head-first into feminism, bounced off it, and shattered apart. One problem is that many anti-feminist skeptics were used to arguing with soft targets. It's very easy to disprove, say, creationism by simply citing basic facts and evidence. ... [They] were used to first-round knockouts and never really had to go the distance before, and they just simply couldn't hack it."
One other point I think gets left out in this area, to the point that I am editing this to add it on even though it was half the point of me making this addition in the first place, is that in the skeptic community the overlap with the gamer community was pretty substantial, a lot of these speakers were regular attendees at Dragon*Con, and there was already a growing hostile debate about appropriate behavior and sex at conventions.

a study on tim drake’s hair
alternatively: sharing irl comparison pics of haircuts/styles tim has had through the years
tim was robin from approx ages 14-16/17. during that time, he’s had many hair styles, but his first hairdo in the early ages (ie. robin ‘91 & ‘93) was a somewhat spiked up style (he certainly used gel).
in his early robin timeframe, tim sported the well-known middle part & undercut combo (yj98) that is, admittedly, a staple to his character design.
during ‘one year later’, and when he took on the red robin mantle (rr09) at 17 y/o, he had grown out his hair to a somewhat faux mullet for a couple years.
when things started to become ‘normal’ again in his life (batman ‘22) (td:r ‘22), he’s around 19 y/o. he went back to the robin role & cut his hair back to the familiar undercut his character is very well acquainted with.
in the recent batman ‘25 issues, tim’s now approx 21/22 y/o. he lacks a middle part and has a higher undercut fading up to the top portion of his hair.
notes: and that's it. i just wanted to look up tim's hairstyles and post abt it lol. hope u guys get to use this as a reference (if so desired)!! check out my works <3

My Time at Sandrock is such a fuckin phenomenal RPG that NO ONE has played because it looks like an awful stardew valley “cozy game” clone. But I think about the intense 100+ hour plot, the twists and turns in the story that GENUINELY shocked me, the depth of the characters, the expansive romances with multiple questlines, the post-apocalyptic environmental storytelling… oh Sandrock you are SO underappreciated
100% My Time at Evershine is going to blow up when it releases, watch for it
