(photos by Bill Watterson and an octopus)
I think this is the best scientist photograph I have ever seen.
But people didn’t believe him on reddit. So Watterson made the photo sequence into a gif.
Here’s the gif for anyone curious.
I had to go through the notes to find the gif. Not because I didn’t believe him but because I wanted to see it.

me: wow i didnt know there was a bard’s college in skyrim that you can join. will my character be able to play instruments? i wonder what kind of new and interesting quests are involved?
bard’s college: go into the Draugr Pit™ and find the Old Fucking Shit Drum for us
Hi! I was one of the quest designers at Bethesda working on Skyrim back in the day, and one of the storylines I was working on before I left was the Bardic College.
Originally, the college invited you to join as an inspiration to the other bards, and as such they would assign you a bard to follow you around and witness your deeds so that they may be remembered in song. I had planned to give the player a bardic companion who would sing songs based on things the player might do.
There was a quest with a fun junior bard who would compose a song about you based on how you acted in the quest and solved problems, and have that song spread through the inns in the world. This sort of heavy branching-and-remembering is something I loved doing in Fallout 3’s Wasteland Survival Guide, so I felt the extra dialogue budget would pay off. The goal was to give the player their own version of Sir Robin’s minstrels in Holy Grail, because we knew what sort of nonsense players get up to.
(Speaking of “nonsense players get up to”, I also designed the Sanguine quest where you retrace your drunken steps, loosely inspired by the classic “I played Oblivion blackout drunk and here’s what I found the next day”. We unofficially called it “Dude, Where’s my Horse?” But that’s a different story.)
Anyway, they ended up cutting that quest along with the orc clans storyline and a bunch of other things I had in the works. That sort of thing happens a lot, especially in ambitious open-world games, but between that and the terrible pay and other issues, I ended up leaving Bethesda to work at another studio. In return, they bumped my name out of the designers’ credits and down to “Special Thanks”, with people’s kids and dogs and the like. Shame we don’t have a union or anything to prevent that, but that’s hardly the biggest problem in the industry.
And that’s the tale of the Bard’s College Quest That Cold Have Been! And if Bsoft doesn’t sue me into Oblivion for saying all this, maybe someday I’ll tell you about the game of riddles that I wrote for Sheogorath.

i actually got round to finishing this :o
im really happy with how it came out
Once you stop trying to entertain this imaginary audience and start living for yourself things should get a bit better
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginary_audience
this is a developmental stage of adolescents
do you think that social media is keeping larger numbers of us in a state of arrested development?
this is rhetorical – since clearly a lot of people find this sentiment relateable
the truly painful fact is that the internet provides an opportunity to craft a “personal fable” for everyone; it is now both highly personal and highly anonymized. you are a brand in a sea of brands.
adolescents are self-conscious because of an “imaginary audience,” something that was, in the 1960s, a false concept. but today, if you use social media regularly, you actually do have an audience. what is the effect of this? probably drags the brain more into self-conscious ego-centrism; makes people more susceptible to trends; maybe this is what makes “internet discourse” so vile, because it’s so terribly egocentric + responsive to its own audience.
unfortunately there’s no way to undo what’s already been done. the cat’s out of the box, the porridge has been stirred, the universe tends towards entropy. it will be interesting to see how these machines shape our brains, and how future generations might resist the lure of audiences and fables
how to stop performing for the imaginary audience asks the young adult who lost their childhood and teenage years to depression and is trying to make up for said lost time now.

And please remember, Black is good is a radical concept, but radical concepts are what create change. Keep fighting.
me being raised on 90s internet rules where telling someone online your favorite color was giving out too much personal information watching gen z youtubers give out their real first and last names and telling everyone the exact city and apartment complex where they live

The only day we can reblog this
They don't bite.
“young adult dystopian novels are so unrealistic lmao like they always have some random teenage girl rising up to inspire the world to make change.”
a hero emerges
And just like in the novels, grown men and women are going out of their way to destroy her. Support our hero.
And it’s not even like it doesn’t happen regularly.
Teenage girls are amazing.
Sometimes they’re not even teenagers

This isn’t a coincidence. Revolutions almost always happen when the population of a country is at its youngest and that’s a lot more true nowadays with social media.
Claudette Colvin was actually the first one to refuse her seat in Montgomery, Alabama to a white passenger. The movement chose to promote Rosa Parks as the figure for that form of protest because Claudette was a pregnant 15-year-old girl.
Barbara Rose Johns was a 16-year-old who organized a student strike protesting segregated schools. This strike, after gaining support of the NAACP, became a lawsuit that turned into Brown vs. The Board of Education and resulted in the desegregation of U.S schools nationally.
7th-grader Mary Beth Tinker, disturbed by the Vietnam War, decided to wear an arm band with a peace sign on it in protest. Her school suspended her. Her family filed a suit, Tinker vs. Des Moines, which reached the Supreme Court and ruled in her favor, ensuring that students and teachers maintain their right to free speech while in school.
Freddie & Truus Oversteegen were sisters who joined a Dutch resistance movement in WWII in their teens. They lured, ambushed, and assassinated Nazis and Dutch collaborators. They also blew up a railway line, transported Jewish refugees to new hiding places, and worked in an emergency hospital.
Our history books may like to showcase male figures, but behind every movement is a young girl ready to make a change. It was true then, it’s true now, and future generations of teenage girls will go on to inspire progress, whether they’re credited or not.
We were raised on these stories of fighting back against oppression, but then the people who wrote them or read them to us act shocked we turned out ready to fight facism even while being anti-social.
