are you reading maid in heaven? have you read maid in heaven? will you read maid in heaven? when will you read maid in heaven?

like I think it is good and important to be able to criticise porn and erotica for the relationship to the political environment/context of creation etc, but I think that’s not too different from criticising any other art on these grounds. how is the erotica speaking to conventions of the genre? what is the author trying to tell you in what they hold up as attractive? what might the author be saying that they’re not necessarily aware that they’re saying? how does the narrative relate to other dominant cultural narratives? these are all valuable questions to ask and can be answered in nuanced ways that do not involve kink-shaming & do not involve calling people degenerate perverts. yknow.

[identitty-dickruption]

something I read the other day had a storyline that involved a woman being kidnapped by foreign “disgusting perverts” (<- not supposed to be sexy) so that she could then be rescued by an army general (<- sexy) who had to fuck her as part of the rescue. now it’s no bother to me if someone else gets their rocks off to that, power to them. that said, we can criticise the framing of Woman Ending Up In Sex Trafficking Requires An Army Man To Fuck Her To Safety in the same way we would criticise similar framing in non-erotic contexts. how is this serving the image of the benevolent military? how is it feeding into the white woman’s fear of the other? what is being held up as ‘perverted’ in its juxtaposition to ‘sexy’? etc etc. this was bad erotica but it was also pro-military propaganda and that does mean something

I worry a little bit that people who refuse to learn about ai as a part of their anti ai position are going to be extremely unprepared to understand what’s actually scary about it and already have their digital literacy at risk tbh

[amanitaphalloides]

not that I am some genius in this regard but if you follow ai developments even slightly you might change the things you are most worried about. do people know the extent to which ai is already eating itself and how meaningless this is making swaths of the internet. do people know that there are plenty of random mid-sized companies today buying their employees’ likenesses to create digital clones and using these to make hundreds of videos. I am so much more worried about labor and surveillance and abuse than people becoming lazy about writing emails. and idk man I sort of like and respect people who are willfully ignorant about it as a way of minimizing its force in their lives and I am in some ways jealous but also when I see posts that basically still boil down to “chatgpt will never fool me” I am like 😭😭😭 for one thing not the only thing to be concerned about, for another thing I am really sorry but I don’t think you’re right

[lostacelonnie]

Grrr I love seeing people post about things I only know about tangentially and not directly, keep posting about your higurashi when they cry, I watched like 2 episodes of the anime like a decade ago and have no clue what's going on when you say anything but I love seeing it.

Also if you're in a horror visual novel mood might I recommend chaos;head and chaos;child okay thanks, the deal with what's going on with the protagonist in chaos;child is so deeply hilarious when you try to explain it to someone and I can't get over it but it's also genuinely so good (although I haven't played Chaos;Head, but it's the first in the direct series line. It's in the same universe as Steins;Gate though)

YAYYYYY YAY IM GLAD YOURE ENJOYING MY LIVEBLOGGING!!!! god higurashi has me in suuuuuch a grip. im about to read the 8th [and last] chapter AND IM KIND OF. NERVOUS ABOUT IT. you know how it is with knowing something is about to end. THEN AGAIN i Do also have the manga, the anime, and the console arcs [not to mention the additional series] to check out so maybe ill get around 2 them too.... for now im just locked in to the main story

and AHHH THANK YOU FOR THE REC!!!! im actually planning to read umineko after im done with higurashi [plus theres a bunch of Actual Books i have to read asajdkfj] BUT I ALWAYS APPRECIATE A REC & ILL PUT THEM ON MY LIST

[chiitosee]

[anthonycolonthree]

hold me like a bug I'll do it

[lostacelonnie]

ohhhh she's just executing them. which is making me feel torn because on one hand i really DID have hope they'd succeed and im genuinely sad about them failing. but on the other hand i really really really NEED to ahve se[GUNSHOT] [as my body falls to the ground, the shooter is revealed to be none other than takano herself]

[lostacelonnie]

you people don't have the slightest idea of how much restraint i've been exhibiting for not having restlessly thirstposted about takano ever since she first appeared onscreen

[lostacelonnie]

TAKANO'S EVIL MASTERMIND OUTFIT. I NEED HER

[lostacelonnie]

I WAS RIGHT!!!! I WAS RIGHT ABOUT TAKANO BEING EVIL!!!!!!! but its ok i still love her she's so unbelievably charming

[napoleononthebellerophon]

"when you're being mean to me this is who youre being mean to" with a baby picture doesn't work in my case because i was born a demon and i was cunning and evil and i knew exactly what i was doing even back when i was just a clump of cells or whatever

FINALLY DONE WITH THE REFS FOR THE RIAWIMTV CAST. the main cast, at least. laurentia and nathalie appear equally as often in regular dresses as they do in the school uniform but drawing eleanore's outfit made me so mad i refused to put myself through it again.

[as always, if anyone is curious about their lore, feel free to dm me for a link to the Riawimtv Bible 👍]

[kevmeisu]

THANK YOU.
