I love characters who would die for each other but will not, under any circumstances, communicate a single honest feeling.

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

i'm not normally one to make jokes about dialect or accent. but the way that British people pronounce "lieutenant" feels like an in-joke i'm not privy to

Almost every chapter with Esen, he tells Ouyang in some variation he would give him anything helppppp

#do i want to write a fic? yes #do i know what that fic will be? no #ouyang's lack of given name drives me up the wall though and that alone might prevent me from writing fic #i could give him a name. i could #but it would piss me off having to do it myself #and then it would be uncomfortable to every fan reading it to go 'wtf that's not his name'#well you see. it feels. unnatural to me #that he is rooted in a chinese setting and is chinese and is just called 'ouyang'#parker-chan give characters proper names when they're not just historical figures challenge #other characters call him 'general' or 'general ouyang' which is fine. but NEVER giving us his given name + having narrative just call him #'ouyang' is certainly a choice lol #at least i can call 'ma' 'ma xiuying' and that would be that #and it might feel weird to fans but at least that's her name

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

Silly question for you: What 5 fictional characters would you put together for a season of Taskmaster (or comparable contest of absurd challenges)

🤔 I cannot say this is ever a question I would have considered... I don't really know what Taskmaster is, but by your description, I think my top picks are Cyprian from Dark Rise (easy to rage bait), Zhu Yuanzhang from She Who Became the Sun (not the actual historical emperor) (because someone has to get creative, and it will be her), Vera from Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers (old unhinged auntie needed, no explanation necessary), Fei Tang from Parallel World (a tryhard failgirl. I say this lovingly), and Princess Lin'an from Guardians of Da Feng (I think it would be funny)

#a silly but delightful question
