After a certain point Maomao is so funny to me. "I shouldn't do xyz it might piss someone off and get me killed" girl the emperor likes you. His wives like you; you give them explicit porn and save their babies. His mom likes you. They let you practice medicine illegally. His secret son wants you down crazy. You could kill a bitch and they'd probably cover it up

new chapter posted on 'girl, you've beaten me black and blue' if you're so inclined :)

chatgpt is a threat to the symbiotic relationship between fanfic writers and their betas. we are losing our traditions. eradicate the soulless machine and ask your friend who has a full time job and 3 kids to annotate your omegaverse fanfiction like any other responsible adult.

make a terrible comic day.... i missed it last year but not now

So this is not a plea for money. This is something that surprised me, and chatting with people on discord, they were unaware of as well.

Discovered last year I couldn’t look at my 2015 MacBook Air without it triggering nausea and migraines, and figured the screen died. Have been getting by on my phone, but concluded I really need a laptop again.

Saved up, realised I could afford a brand new MacBook Neo, and got one.

-And I couldn’t spend more than five minutes looking at the screen without massive eye strain, nausea, vertigo, and if I pushed it, I-need-to-lie-down-in-a-dark-room-for-hours migraines.

Looking up MacBook and Eyestrain explained what is going on. The liquid retina displays that Apple currently has uses Pulse Width Modulation or PWM. In order to give the screens a deeper depth of colour and contrast, PWM flickers between several hundred to thousand times a second.

And there is currently no way to turn it off. There are settings and apps to reduce it, but there is no way to stop the screen from flickering. Checked Apple forums, called Apple Support, and the time I could look at the screen kept shrinking. Got the laptop Tuesday, returned it Friday, today is Sunday and I’m still dealing with a vertigo migraine.

For MacBooks, it seems to vary on the computer model and the software it uses. In retrospect, the issue with my MacBook Air started after a major software update.

And it’s not just an Apple thing. Current Windows and Android screens do the same thing. There’s even a Reddit for people who are sensitive to PWM flickers to help find computers and screens that won’t trigger eyestrain and headaches.

So, yeah. This week has been a learning experience. But for those who are prone to headaches and migraines, this may be something to be aware of, cause I was not.

#recently acquired a neo myself and couldn't quite put to words why the display just seemed odd #not quite migraine triggering but i can feel my eyeballs if that makes sense

I always assume the train will be so boring and I bring seven things to do but then I'm entranced by the wonderful window the entire time

ok so this is another long shot but a few years ago there was a twitter post (in japanese i think?) that had measurememts for how to make this book stand thing out of cardboard that you could use to double up books and use up more space on shelves

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

if it comes down to it i can just take one apart and get the measurements from there but i would be very grateful if anyone happens to have the original post or something similar??

megacarapa

don't mind how long it's been since i made this post, anyway i realized that i don't even need to take one apart to get the measurements when i can literally just unfold it and refold it /FACEPALM

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

EVERYONE START GETTING MORE USE OUT OF YOUR SPACE NOW!!!!

WIP Weekend (it's Monday evening here now, but still...)

Cheers to @stalactice and @smackermans for the tag. Shit has hit the fan once more in Dr Ally land so best believe the need to ignore everything is going strong lol

Still on the rivamika bullshit, very seriously considering dusting off the zutara, too

Comment/send asks with one or more of the emojis below and I'll write 3+ sentences of that fic to share!

🏮lanterns (a kind of vaguely Orpheus/Eurydice thing, canon complaint/divergent fic where rivamika team up to brave the titans and save some wounded comrades)

👁️Tunnel Vision (Mikasa notices one day, that even though Levi must have made the connection, he never mentioned Kenny Ackerman to her. Hijinks ensue)

🥊girl you’ve beaten me black and blue chapter 11

drally147writes

🌸for @aoneko-lee and @nuri148. I've only got the prologue vaguely fleshed out for this one, so there's no character interactions, but hopefully you'll be able to tell what the vibes will be lol

The paper cup in his left hand is empty.

The briefcase carried at his right side contains four stones glued to the corners.

The suit he wears is an elegant cut, but only just enough to fool the eye, just enough to draw attention away from the coarse, unevenly woven fabric that makes it. The shoes, the same as every other well-to-do man who walks the Marleyan streets each day, but bought from a seller who stacks the soles with cardboard and lines the uppers with tight, unyielding rubber.

A convincing illusion for the moment, though an uncomfortable one.

It’s a sunny day, moderately warm with a cool breeze. He takes a seat at a bench in the middle of a busy park. At midday, other men with suits and briefcases frequent the park, too, taking short moments of peace before returning to their offices to finish out their workdays. A fountain gives off enough fine mist to create a shimmering rainbow in the distance, though there’s no children around now to enjoy such a sight. A discarded newspaper sits shabbily folded next to him. He picks it up and thumbs through the pages.

A figure in a suit takes up position on the other side of the bench. They open their suitcase and remove a newspaper of their own.

He turns another page but doesn’t glance over.

They stay long enough for the crowds to thin, but not so long that they are the last remaining. At five minutes before one o’clock, the stranger refolds the newspaper and returns it to the suitcase.

“Captain,” they say, as they stand to leave.

He doesn’t say anything. The person joins a crowd heading back to the city centre.

Where they sat, a scrap of paper rolled into a ball teeters between the bench’s slats. Trash, to the unsuspecting eye. Accidentally left, as though the litterer is simply running late; a forgivable transgression when the idea of a job being on the line is considered.

He reaches across and grabs it before it gets carried away on the breeze.

As the final men make their leave, he moves, too. He refolds the newspaper and tosses it in a nearby wastebin.

For @smackermans, a pile of dialogue for 👁️ Tunnel Vision, since I write all dialogue first then build around it lol

“Captain… did you always know Kenny’s surname?” He goes still. “Yes.” “You never said anything. Never even hinted. Why?” “I didn’t think there was anything to say.” “You knew his name. You knew mine." She drums her fingers on the table between them. "You could have started with that.” “And then what? I introduce you? You trade stories about what it’s like to grow up knowing you have superpowers? You grip onto him like some fucked up father figure and hope he sweeps you off into a whole new family?” She’s slapping him before she can even register the impulse. “All I want is answers,” she whispers. “He might have had them.” “He might have just as easily shot you straight through the chest, too. Don’t forget, brat, that prick was the one who raised me.”
