At first I thought Fujimine was replacing Minakata in Ichi's memory, but she isn't wearing his kimono or the skull mask. She's dressed like Ichi, instead. Maybe taking on the role of the companion he longed for while living in the mountains? Or maybe she's taking the place of the person who gave him the knife?
pretty sure the knife was what his parents left him with when they abandoned him in the woods

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
under 18, AI is a net positive
under 18, AI is a net negative
18-29, AI is a net positive
18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined
over 60, more inclined
over 60, less inclined
Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Just like Neve, Bellara also has cut moments in her romance scene after the finale. And this is also on the list of things I hope I'll be able to get working properly.
Option: It feels right. Rook: If I can make you feel that way, just a little, then I'm happy. Bellara: Me too. Bellara: After being brainwashed by Elgar'nan? Bellara: Rook. I, um. There's something I want to say. That I need to say, after… Rook: What is it? Bellara: I'm sorry. I'm being… it's not important. Option: It is. I almost lost you. Rook: Bellara, I… I thought I lost you and… Rook: Whatever you're thinking. Whatever you want to say, or not say—it's all important to me. Bellara: They made me feel lost. Alone. But part of me didn't believe it. Bellara: That part knew you'd find me. Pull me out of the darkness. And you were there. You're still here.
o captain my captain!
Not everything that makes you uncomfortable is actually causing you harm
ichi is the guiding light, huh?
everyone's putting their hopes and dreams and wishes and expectations on him, you say?
i am genuinely emotionally compromised by the fact that desscaras is the only person in ichi's life that expects nothing and wants nothing of him. she wants him happy, healthy and alive.
desscaras of the star eater clan, is the only one who's prioritizing ichi the person above "ichi the guiding light". desscaras of polaris is there to provide him a home, a place he can always come back to.
no one else is doing this for him. no one but her. because they're family now.
Their bond is veverything to me
oh snap

In the post-ending extra Chilchuck and His Daughters, Chil says "Just go eat, then come home." ("Come home", not "go home") That implies he lives with Flertom, maybe all his daughters. Am I reading that right?
I didn't remember that wording but yeah, that's what he says in the official english...
They don't live together though, in his section of the AB is says all of them are adults and independent now and of them lives with his estranged wife
In one of his comics he also talks about them like they don't live together
The description of his room (also from the AB) also talks about it like he lives alone
"The basement at Chilchuck's, After his wife left him, Chilchuck rented out his place to relatives and is instead renting a house in Kahka Brud for himself. During expeditions, he stays at the guild lodging house on the Island." If I remember right he isn't originally from Kahka Brud so he doesn't live even in the same town as his daughters probably?
I decided to check and here's what he says in the original
ドレスも彼氏も敬語もいらねえ 普通に飯食って帰れ
The relevant part is "普通に飯食って帰れ" which from what I gather is pretty much "Just eat normally and go home" he doesn't say anything that implies his house or their house I think? It's just usual yen press not understanding the context in which things are said and making the wrong assumptions.
Someone at an old job asked why I wanted to write up the meeting minutes for our team and I said 'i wanna control the narrative' and they were like 'what' and I pointed out that no one was gonna remember what we said in six months and so my interpretation of the meeting would dictate the assumed reality of what happened
"none of you ever send corrections when I offer the draft so y'all have consented to my version"
"we don't read that shit"
"you must trust me implicitly to create our shared reality that's so sweet"
That's how several coworkers decided I was a supervillain and how I learned several coworkers didn't understand record keeping as like a CONCEPT
What a highly specific and devastating word
The way that most of Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories’ most horrible villains are rich dudes that are abusive to women, in a time such as the 1880’s, compels me.
There’s a whole subset of Sherlock Holmes stories that could be labeled Asshole Guys Try to Control Women’s Money.
Yup, there’s a huge number of times where Sherlock Holmes is the ONLY person to take a young woman’s complaint or worry seriously and finds out someone is up to some serious evil. Holmes also shows a lot of compassion and empathy with the victims over and over again. (This is why I find “Secretly a woman” or “Trans” Holmes headcanons much more convincing than “sociopath” Holmes.)
I am never going to shut up about how much I specifically love The Adventure of The Copper Beeches because it is literally Sherlock Holmes listening to a young lady he does not know except as a potential client, agreeing with her that a potential job she has interviewed for that she thinks is SUPER SKETCHY is, indeed, sketchy as fuck and when she says she’s probably gonna take the job anyways because the money is good and she needs it going “OKAY I GUESS but for the love of god please write to us so we know you’re okay we will literally drop everything and jump on a train if you want us to”.
The job turns out to indeed be sketchy as fuck, she writes to them, Holmes and Watson drop everything and jump on a train when she asks them to. I read this story for the first time when I was twelve and it made a HUGE impression.
This is also the basis for a lot of speculation about Holmes’ family life. The idea that he has been a victim of abuse, or his mother was abused (or even murdered by his father.) There’s definitely SOMETHING that makes him very aware of how dangerous isolated families can be, and the dark things that can happen behind closed doors. Plus, of course, the motivation to devote himself to stopping crime. And yes, so much of it is of the personal type.
dude see this is one aspect of the original books i NEVER understand why modern remakes (cough cough) don’t go all in on. Like, in the 21th c we HAVE all the dumb forensic shit that made Victorian Holmes stand out, but we STILL DON’T HAVE uh….you know, compassion for women and minorities, or the willingness to believe them, adequate community support for domestic violence or hate crimes, etc. etc. which you’d think is exactly where a renegade consulting detective would come in handy. A good modern day Sherlock Holmes remake, instead of trying to convince us that Holmes is some super genius for being better than fingerprint analysis or whatever, could have him just be…a good person who helps out people the police can’t and won’t help. There you go. That’s how to write a relevant modern Holmes.
One thing that annoys me is how much the BBC version of Sherlock (and the fandom around it) focus on police cases or cold cases. In the stories, Holmes’ bread and butter cases had fuck-all to do with the police and in a few stories, he actively works around/against them, or outright lies to them. Of the many, many things I wish that show had done differently, this is one is particularly obnoxious since it’s such a gimme.
There were very few actual murder cases in the Canon, and Holmes handled them either one of two ways:
Option one: The murder victim was innocent while the killer was an abusive bastard, see Speckled Band. Conclusion, arrest and have the killer charged (Or in the case of Speckled Band, indirectly murder him yourself then shrug and go home)
Option two: The victim was murdered to protect someone that the victim was abusing, or for vengeance, see Boscombe Valley, Devil’s Foot, Abbey Grange. Conclusion, Oops, I don’t know who the killer is, I am suddenly incompetent, oh look a pheasant.
#my favorite murder in holmes canon#is when they straight up witness a lady murder her blackmailer#do nothing except destroy his other blackmail material#and then straight up lie to lestrade about it#sherlock holmes#more of this in modern adaptations pls (via @cactusspatz )
Let’s not forget the time Holmes helps a young woman who’s being catfished by her own stepfather to steal her inheritance, and when the villain sneers that the law can’t touch him, Holmes grabs a horsewhip out of sheerest chivalry.
So, the most canon-accurate iteration of Sherlock Holmes in the last few decades is actually Benoit Blanc….
I think it’s also important to note, and complicates our ideas about what the highly patriarchal/misogynistic society of 19th century England looked like, that these stories SOLD
they were POPULAR
the Victorians LIKED reading about women who won out over shitty men in their lives, even when that plotline reaffirmed a woman’s power and agency or put an active sexist in his place (ie Irene Adler besting Holmes)
which is fascinating in light of. you know. [gestures broadly at all of Victorian gender dynamics, laws, etc.]
So yes, Benoit Blanc is the best modern Sherlock.
Why does no one remember CBS Elementary??? (Which is on Hulu)
The Sherlock who is a recovering addict and slowly takes his recovery seriously and has so much empathy for addicts
The Sherlock who meets Joan Watson and sees a woman whos unfulfilled in her work and unhappy and goes to help her to self actualize
The Sherlock who has a history of assisting his trans house keeper Ms Hudson
The Sherlock who often takes work to fuck over CEO's
The Sherlock who has a network of specialistes that is filled with minorities that others often overlook the value of their knowledge
The Sherlock who is the biggest supporter of his black police contact and helps with everything from going up in ranks and finances
The Sherlock who deeply respects his black sober sponsor
The Sherlock who is sex positive and doesn't look down on sex workers
The Sherlock who helps a rape survivor take her power back and made her feel so safe she was able to tell him she loved him (Platonically) an action she didn't think she'd be able to after what happened to her
The Sherlock who dates an autistic woman, and is implied to be on the spectrum himself
The Sherlock who's Moriarty is a woman
The Sherlock who values his platonic bond with Watson so deeply that by the end of the series the two are basically in a queer platonic relationship.
We are gonna ignore THAT Sherlock?
and these are the broad strokes I remember do yourself a favor watch Elementary
Hey! Just a reminder! AO3 does NOT have an app. This garbage was made by theives who steal fan artist’s work and sell it back to you.
“Oh, but it’s free!” There are ads. They are making money off of this. They are stealing from the creators you love and you are hurting those same creators if you use this app or any similar app.
Don’t use it. Report it at every opportunity.
To summarize it overall:
App acts like a browser but paywalls offline reading while reviews state it’s full of intrusive ads and lacks basic functionality such as commenting. Do not use this app. Use the ao3 website. The app uses Gen-AI content for imagery on categories and is essentially forcing people to pay if they want to read your fics offline.
By the way you don’t have to pay anything to read fics offline. You can do it for free using easily accessible resources that don’t cost anything.
You do not need to pay $1 every week, $2 every month, or even $18 a year. It can be done free! By anyone!
You can also turn ao3 into an app itself by adding it to your Home Screen. You don’t need to download shady apps.
The way to read fics offline is by downloading them onto your device. AO3 lets you do this, in multiple file formats, right at the top of the page:
If you don't have a PDF reader on your phone, there are any free ones (I personally like ReadEra). Or you download it as HTML.
AO3 doesn't have an app, and doesn't need an app. Don't fall for this. There's no telling what they'll do with your login data.

IVE SEEN THE SHOW BUTTON
casting magic - Bellara + Neve
It's so insanely cool to me how each mage companion's casting is animated differently.
Emmrich's is large and graceful, a show, he's very proud of his magical ability. He hasn't needed to hide it, and certainly would need to have his casting be large and clear for demonstrations in his classes.
Neve's is small and quick, efficient, delicate finger movements. It shows how capable she is with only the slightest gestures, and makes sense she would have to be so she doesn't get noticed while working a case.
Bellara's is small but not as small as Neve's. It's a consistent ebb and flow, push and pull. Because the magic she's used to casting needs to be stable and calm in order to handle the crazy magic in Arlathan. If she were to cast too big, she could lose control easily if something went wrong. I also love how she looks to Neve to see how she's handling the magic in comparison!
Or all of this could just be conjecture
love this addition!!
Neve's often look like someone delicately picking at a lock, and Emmrich's look like someone conducting music. When you listen to all of their banter, each mage describes their relationship to magic and the Fade differently. Emmrich listens very closely - like he receives aural impressions, and Bellara gives very tactile descriptions. Neve's are very pragmatic.
This game is so good y'all. Each character was made with a lot of care.
