Hey guys... sooooo... I worked on a thing. Trying to figure out how to arrange the events in my head into the chapters so I can write about them in a way that makes sense to the reader. I'm doing this while my child has been just sitting in the hallway going "beep. Beep" for the past 10 minutes. But it got done!

[shaddashk]

You know that meme of the person or animal sitting at the table drinking whole fire is all around them? Yaaaeah... My life right now. Except instead of it being a really stressful but will resolve in a month or time, it's a long drawn out process of a year.

I'm still determined to touch a story and write worlds.

Sign I wish I could make for our non-fiction section:

DO NOT RESHELVE

NO YOU ARE NOT BEING HELPFUL

NO YOU ARE NOT BEING INDEPENDENT

NO YOU ARE NOT “JUST PUTTING IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT”

YOU DO NOT KNOW THE DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM AS WELL AS YOU THINK YOU DO (GOING BY THE FICTION SECTION YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW THE ALPHABET AS WELL AS YOU THINK YOU DO)

YOU ARE MAKING A MESS WE WILL HAVE TO SORT OUT

YOU ARE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO FIND BOOKS PEOPLE HAVE PUT ON HOLD BECAUSE YOU RANDOMLY JAMMED THEM INTO A SHELF HALFWAY ACROSS THE LIBRARY FROM THEIR RIGHTFUL PLACE

YOU ARE MAKING US CRY! AND WE UGLY CRY! NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT!

DON’T! RESHELVE!!! THE BOOKS!!!

[shaddashk]

Hahaha, the cries of a fellow library worker.

The Star Wars Original Trilogy is peak fiction because they took a fairy tale and set it in space, then they gave the princess in distress a GUN. But even better they gave her a sharp tongue and the power of revolution. They made the “dragon” a depressed cyborg father with asthma who doesn’t understand his own emotions and does murders because of it. And they made the knight a blond Barbie boy who attempts to solve problems with the power of love like he’s Sailor Moon or something.

And then they said, “oh yeah they’re all related btw. All the galaxy’s problems are this one family’s fault. Hope this helps 😘”

How is this pixelart? How do humans take something so small and turn it into something huge?

my dad has been a pretty devout gamer his entire life and i have this. memory of when i was little- he was playing a game. i don’t even remember what it was. and i saw a character who was older and had wrinkles, and i asked “why did they have to make her ugly?” and he said “do you think she’s ugly? i’ve got wrinkles, and you’re going to get wrinkles at some point. do you think every video game character ever should always be pretty and young? not everyone is pretty in the real world. why does it matter? does it change how i play, how i should view her? it doesn’t. i don’t think she needs to be pretty. i think it’s good we have characters who aren’t pretty.” and i’m sure he doesn’t remember it now, it was a long time ago. but every time i see discourse online surrounding how a character has a big forehead or isn’t conventionally attractive enough or whatever. i think about it.

[shaddashk]

Wise gamer man. There is room for the young and the old.

Ninjas don’t wear black. They used to disguise themselves as civilians. Unlike ninjas in movies, the real guys were smart enough to know that wearing a black outfit with a face mask wasn’t the best strategy for blending in. Source

[housetohalf]

But this leaves out the really neat part! The reason we equate the above image with a ninja comes from Kabuki theatre. Within Kabuki theatre there’s a convention of having Kuroko (stage hands) dress in all black (with a full face covering) and move around among the costumed actors in full view, moving scenery, props and costumes. In a similar way, Bunraku puppeteers dress in all black, and only the lead puppeteer’s face would be uncovered. The audience knew to ignore these people and focus on the actors, and to only see that the scene was “magically” changing. So when a play called for a ninja assassin to jump out of nowhere and kill someone, the easiest way to create the surprise reveal was to disguise the ninja in the all black garb of the Kuroko and to remove the face covering and start acting at the last second. This would shock the audience, who were conditioned to not focus on them. Pretty cool, yeah?

[phoenixflorid]

WHAT THE FUCK I THOUGHT “STAGE NINJA” WAS JUST A CUTE THEATER TERM FOR CREW. THERE WERE LITERALLY GOD DAMN STAGE NINJAS

[baratheas]

AS A FORMER STAGE NINJA I CAN CONFIRM THIS IS BOTH A THING AND AWESOME.

[shaddashk]

Yup, the reason why our "media" has black ninjas, was the symbolism from this - black = sneaky, can't be seen. Don't forget, if you do operate at night, as some did, then black clothing was useful camouflaged to use when any "decent and honorable beings" were not out and about.

Path of Knowledge snippet

Chapter One - An Ember Falls to the Ground

It was test day which normally made it a… he never would have called it a horrible day, but Sephiroth would allow it to be called a trying day. Except Hojo was off somewhere paying attention to another project so it was just two of the regular assistants administering the test when he entered the room and so a trying day was turning out to be a better day.

After the blood draw, the strength meter and mako level test, all that was left was the heart stamina and he would be done with Medical for the week. Nothing that would leave him sore and aching, no “surprise” tests dolled out by Hojo that left him carefully measuring his breath to prevent any noticeable hitches in his pattern. He learned fast what happened when Hojo was questioned about testing aftermath and Sephiroth had prevented a repeat in the last four years.
