Can you hear it? The sea is singing with a voice of fire.

Okay mhy have managed to wrap up the weird timeline in a way that makes sense. Somehow. And (fingers crossed, the finale is next patch) finish P2 without retcons holy shit.

[worlds-best-sippycup]

Holy shit what???

I don't know who either of these girls are. Did they just make Himeko and Mei look weird?

Don't need to retcon if they can just ignore everything before. By weird timeline do you mean the whole APHO thing or?

[pissmaster228]

These two are the main heroines of P2! Senadina (redhead) and Entropy (glasses).

By weird timeline I mean (spoiler, obviously) the whole thing seemed inconsistent until the reveal that we were in a timeloop within a time loop. That's an insane thing to pull off. Bravo.

RE: ignoring everything before. Brace yourself. Bianka reflects on her actions. That can happen. Although overall that would be correct, the setting is different and the main squad of P1 only makes occasional cameos.

Rita got a new suit for some reason.

so have yall just been floating in the sea of quanta or...?

Do they ever quit with the open worlds?

i know everyone is tired of hearing it from me but i'll never be free from how people think you can only ship a het ship WOKELY if the man is a pathetic useless idiot and the girl babysits and pegs him and has the personality of a door. i promise you won't get your woke card revoked if you spend five minutes of your time to consider the girl has a personality and the guy might be a competent person. and maybe she likes getting dicked down and is a little pathetic too. have you considered also liking the girl and maybe wanting her to be a spoiled baby too? also I'll Kill You

By special request from the LTS Discord…

Who’s more sexually desirable: Scar or Thanos?

No context; no middle ground. Choose your fighter.

Who does it for you?

Scar

Thanos

Voting ended onAug 2

[dedalvs]

Now for the context.

We have a Discord over at LangTime Studio, and someone shared this meme, which makes sense if you know the relevant conlang history:

Some didn't know who Thanos was but recognized the saying, and then this happened:

This is how Scar entered the conversation, at which point discussion of him began:

But the case for Thanos wasn't to be set aside so lightly:

At that point a suggestion was made that we put a poll on Tumblr, and someone pointed out to me that I had quite a reach on Tumblr, to which I said:

But what settled it—what determined that we were absolutely going forward with a real poll—was the following:

And in case I needed further coaxing…

But, indeed, we have now seen the ratio. The matter is settled. Let him forever be known as Thanos the Undoinkable.

There's an attitude I've been seeing more and more of where having any kind of artistic opinion that isn't praise is seen as some kind of faux pas designed to yuck people's yum or whatever, and while I understand the kneejerk response behind it I do have to wonder like. How sustainable do you think it is to foster an environment where even the most casual criticism is met with hoards of defensive with Whoa Mama Mia Cunt Let People Enjoy Things style comments

[smiley-asylum]

OK so yes feedback is necessary specifically in art but I have seen people just be full on mean or unnecessarily harsh. There's creative criticism and then there's just being a dick for the sake of it.

[parkchanwoohoo]

Okay. And I'm saying people are allowed to, when they want to, on their blogs, be a dick about things for the sake of it if they feel like doing it. I'm wildly skeptical of the idea that constructive critique is the only kind of feedback one is "allowed" to make in their own siloed corner of the internet, or that insistence on this will somehow create a healthier space for expressing opinions.

Once again. I can understand the kneejerk impulse here, I do. It sucks to imagine, say, a creator scrolling online coming across some needlessly vitriolic post about something they worked on. But anyone is allowed to go "That's dickish" and move on, or people can engage with "I think this is oversimplified blah blah" if they want to but at the end of the day it isn't some kind of crime against the hobby or a fandom or even a singular person if someone just shoots off "This sucked I wasted my night" in their own accounts.

Like. A lot of people are trending towards thinking I'm talking about the importance of constructive criticism and like, sure, I think that is probably a more interesting avenue of analyzing something's flaws, but once again if you're not like, addressing an artist or interested in doing a deep dive that doesn't mean you're Not Allowed to be flippant or quick to judge. It's kind of startling how many times I've seen someone be like, "I can't stand this album" on their blogs, untagged, had that shit shared, only for it to come across someone's feed and for them to respond with "Why? What's wrong with it? People are allowed to like it, why are you being so negative, why are you tearing people down for no reason, this isn't even real critique," as though the intention in the first place ever was or ought to have been substantive critique in the first place.

It's difficult to articulate my feelings on this, but I do increasingly feel that the insistence upon there being a correct form of disliking something that precludes the possibility of making anyone feel insecure or hurt because they like it is significantly more stultifying than an atmosphere where people can shoot off "Fuck this" and be blocked or ignored for it

when you reblog a post about life being hopeless as an acknowledgement that your own life sucks and then your mutuals reblog the same post from you and tag it with the name of a hockey player it's like oh. so it's just me and this millionaire bastard in canada
