Hi o/

I go by MK, she/her, your everage internet surfer with a lot of special interests. College graduate, textile artist, I draw fanarts sometimes that I hope to post someday, and I write fanfics as a hobby but you're not ever gonna see that one (sorry). Currently studying Japanese in hopes that I can pursue my Masters there, and also because I'm a bit of weeb.

I never really stick to one fandom so here's a list what I'm recently into:

Anime/Manga 🌟: JJK, Golden Kamuy, Gachiakuta, MP100, Dandadan, Demon Slayer, Dungeon Meshi, AoT, anything Ghibli related

Western Animation 🌟: Arcane, Blue Eye Samurai, TADC, Smiling Friends, Bad Batch, Clone Wars

Movies/Shows 📽: Star Wars, Andor, Severance, Guillermo del Toro's movies (tbh it's been a while since I watch anything that Hollywood makes)

Music 🎶 : Fiona Apple, Björk, PJ Harvey, Geordie Greep, Ninajirachi, Psychedelic Prn Crumpets, Gorillaz, The Marías, Pinkpantheress, Charli XCX

Games 🎮: Stardew Valley, Minecraft (also Hermitcraft), Pokémon, Hollow Knight, RDR, NINAH, retro/indie stuff

Fanfics 📖: mostly reader insert, sometimes yaoi, and full time angst lover

Other hobbies includes 🪡: embroidery, crochet, knitting, and writing

I'm also Southeast Asian and English is not my first language so excuse my frequent grammar mistakes ^_^"

So I was rewatching Ep.8 of TADC and I noticed something when Ragatha first got into the circus. Her demeanor really looked as if she was in the room (irl) with someone else shortly before putting the headset on. She even called out "guys...?" whilst looking around. Like she was expecting someone beyond the headset to respond.

This didn't happen when Pomni first got in because she knew she was alone, exploring the abandoned C&A building. Pomni's reaction was immediately trying to get the headset off instead of calling out for someone else.

So we can just assume that irl Ragatha was checking out the building and prepping it to put on sale since she's a real estate agent. The other person she was with was the building's security or something and they had to be in the same room as her when she put on the headset. Or at the very least in the next room.

This makes the Mind Transfer Theory very legit since there's no way they'll just let this poor woman alone with a sus headset on. And she was also on the job, someone will have to check on her.

I also think that this Mind Transfer function is built because Scratch wants his memories to live on after his death (due to that 'tumor in his brain'). Which...technically works but none of them expected their memories to become a literal sentient being.

was thinking about this book again recently

There's something about men's stubborn pride and they're insistence on keeping it polished in the face of their fellow men. It's fucking funny how much they care so much about their image while scrutinising women's vanity in the same breath.

I hate that this is about my dad. He'd rather save face than ask others for help when we barely have money to keep things afloat. He doesn't have a job, if he has one it has to be a high profile because of his stupid reputation and his stupid AI glazing talent of a washed programmer. Because of this my mom is forced to sign up for multiple online loans and he could care less where that money is coming from. All he cared about is his stomach being full and he gets to keep his pocket money to buy some cigs. Not a single thought spared for my mom or me.

I'm a PA at my old campus, barely any pay but it's good for my career portfolio. I took up some freelance work, I saved up from that so I can buy books and pay for my language exams. Even I lend my own money for this poor excuse of a dad and he never even thought of returning it.

So much for a loving 'dad' huh?

He's only good to other men, and treats the women around him poorly. I hope he chokes on his shitty cigarettes.

I locked in, put on electronic dance music, and wove this in one 5-hour sitting

Hi, I'm tired of genAI slop as an avid YouTube watcher. Here are a few signs that show whether a video in your homepage is made by an actual human or not.

Keep in mind that not every channel with similar style of videos are always genAI, but most I've found has pretty much the same dead giveaways

So let's get through this!

Cartoon/vector thumbnail on white background. Sometimes with an inconsistent artstyle (check other videos in the channel).

Channel name, pic, and profile lack personality or even a real name. Real Youtubers usually named their channel based on their online persona not just because of the topic of their videos (ie. cats, biology, geography, etc.)

Simple and easy, usually science-based topics that is guaranteed to get clicks.

Videos usually have a similar runtime of 7 to 12~ minutes.

No cited sources, credited artist & narrator in the description. Only linked to their accounts in other platforms.

Faceless creator, and I mean that by literal. Not like vtubers or pngtubers, the channel is devoid of an actual face/character attached to it

The narration feels a little too monotone and devoid of natural human noises (like "uhh"s, voice cracks, genuine humor). And barely any subjective opinion is in the script.

Video included AI illustrations or animations. The kind that gives you the uncanney valley feeling. If you know, you know.

Consistent upload schedule with seemingly high-production quality.

The script sounds "ChatGPT"-ish.

Dead giveaway: the channel started uploading videos only recently. Most channels I've found had only been uploading since a few months ago, around genAI content started booming basically (~2025)

Exhibit "A", AI channel for cat lovers

They're not even hiding the fact that they've uploaded videos with the same/similar topics. As someone who loves videos about cats, this is just disappointing.

Exhibit "B", science based AI channel

Ok, this one hides it a little better but you only have to check the channel description to see the red flags. The weird animations in the video is what prompted me to check the description. It's disappointing to see no sources cited at all especially when it claimed to be scientific, it's very misleading. Also, this whole thing started because of this channel lol.

Anyways, go support real creators with actual credentials and talent. Try not to give these kind of channels your time and attention. They're only here for the views and money.

Oh, and fuck GenAI.

I'm just gonna add another example here. Because this channel bamboozled me hard and got me a bit annoyed by their unfair argument. Especially the Timothee Chalamet vs Jacob Elordie video since they based all of their arguments on TC's literal pretty boy face and mainly compared that to Elordie's the Creature. Which is just...so surface level argument and so unfair, I don't even like TC but this analysis is NOT in good faith. The person behind this slop channel just wanted to jump on the TC hate bandwagon lol. Fair enough dude but write your own script at the very least geez

And yes, they only joined last November and turns out their video uses AI voice too. I mean come on.
