[redstonedust]

finishing the project is another story im turning to the devil for that one. there's no other way.

having the Aviation Accident Investigations Autism™️ has actually done wonders for the way I process and respond to my own fuck-ups

[json-derulo]

And I don't just mean "oh, my little work mistake is actually nothing compared to a fiery crash that kills people," either. The reason commercial flight is so many orders of magnitude safer than any other form of transportation is because after every accident and incident, an independent regulatory body investigated it with the express goal of figuring out exactly what happened, why, and how to prevent the same thing from ever happening again—not to root out which person deserved the blame or the liability.

It's a simple, shockingly effective idea. It's also worlds away from how most people approach their own mistakes and the mistakes of others.

[json-derulo]

Because it’s never just one person’s fault. And even when it is, it still isn’t. 

The sharpest, best-trained pilots make worse decisions when they're tired or sick or stressed out, so there's two of them. The most dedicated and experienced air traffic controllers garble an instruction over the radio sometimes, so pilots are trained to always repeat clearances back to catch misunderstandings quickly. The best and brightest maintenance mechanic still overlooks a screw or misconnects a wire once or twice in her career, so aircraft systems are built with two or three or four layers of redundancy, and pilots are exhaustively trained to deal with failures safely. 

Everyone eventually has a bad day. Every component breaks down. Every computer gets a bad a Windows update and spirals into a reboot doom loop. If it’s possible for one person’s mistake to domino into a mushroom cloud of a fuckup, then that task is too critical to be one person's sole responsibility. The accident sequence starts with the design of the system—so how do you improve the system to keep it from happening again?

OC-TOBER Day 10 Symbolism!

(This is also catch up for Day 1 & 2!)

First is my Old OC Janus! The Fool, the first card in the Major Arcana, represents authenticity, freedom, adventure, new beginnings, and also naivete and fickleness. She has been a soldier for a long time, but she is about to begin a journey that uncovers the dark truth about the war they are fighting in and the true nature of their world.

Second is the 'New' OC Alexandrus/ Lex! The Magician represents confidence, willpower, influence, and intellect. What Lex lacks in fighting skills, he more than makes up for in strategy and diplomacy. He wants this war to end and has the skills to make it happen, but he needs help from the other side. Luckily, he has a plan to find it..

There's wholesome ships and there's toxic ships, but I'd like to coin 'sodium chloride ships', where the individuals involved are both horrible and dangerous people, but somehow being together renders them surprisingly well-adjusted (if a little salty).

[aromanticduck]

The opposite of this is a 'coke and mentos' dynamic, where the two people are generally chill and likeable but being around each other makes them both wild and chaotic.

[aromanticduck]

Here's the breakdown:

Did not realize people couldn't see these blanks on bsky if they didn't have an account, so here they are! I'll post any new ones I make or updates to these here instead from now on.

personally? i enjoy being a fan of characters who have done Wrong. i like when a character is not a perfect victim, has hurt people, has transgressed, has done bad things. sometimes its nice to feel the sting yknow? and to recognize that a character is not a flawless perfect victim, but is deserving of understanding and compassion anyway. a lot of people in fandom refuse to let go of moral absolutism and its... rough.

[strawberry-crocodile]

great now name a female character you feel this way about in the next 30 seconds or another hostage dies
