I've been pulled into a work project where I'm the token senior engineer in a group of principals and partners.

And I'm on a sort of two-man engineering team with the notable partner in the group--which is a title they only give out when an existing partner dies (or retires I guess so I've heard)--and every day the whole thing feels like a comedy bit between cartoon scientist and assistant.

Like scientist whips up 10 whiteboards worth of schematics and calculations out of absolute nothing and I'm sitting there on the little three-legged stool sweating following along and go "but, but boss, if yous put the fuselage in series with the flux capacitor on line 3 of whiteboard 5, aint that gonna blow things sky high? It oughta be in parallel aint it?" At which point the scientist stares at the board and brushes his mustache with his hand and goes "by GOD assistant you are right! GENIUS work, assistant! this is why we have you!"

Anyway it's going pretty well

#chrissy speaks #im joking about the fuselage stuff this is. this is programming. these are programming things #we're exploding nothing #but it's like that

Why do they call each other Alpha and Omega in all the ABO fics...

It sounds terrible, like calling your partner Male or Female. Instead of their name or a nickname or something. Like, whyyyyyyyy is that a thing.........

In other news, I just read the road trip update.

haha aahhh well i think it's a bit. a suspension of disbelief you may agree to when reading an a/b/o fic?

like yeah calling a partner their designation in-universe may sound weird (though now you've got me thinking of a nickname for alpha, which like. I'd take 'alpha' over 'alfie' any day) but objectively the entire universe of a/b/o is weird af, it's both a wild take on whatever primal/instinctive urges any author wants to give the characters + weird sex things we are NOT examining too closely + some like? scent and vocal chord MAGIC? just in an everyday world where iphones exist??

like i think it sort of is a thing for the Alpha/Omega title to be used in a/b/o fics as like some fucked up instinctive honorific or made-up title (like husband/wife, if you will, rather than male/female)

BUT at the same time and in the best way possible, if that's the weirdest sounding part of a universe based on a CW supernatural RPF where the characters have dog cocks and dog heats, then like. keep doing you but also h o w.

#asks #squick tag: a/b/o #tbh this whole response is why i do use the squick tag: a/b/o #like the whole thing once even a little bit examined is just a cacophony of 'whyyyy'#it's because i also write the characters in universe losing their shit over it thats why its really very addictive #but i would argue it's less male/female and more a title (like husband/husband/wife etc)#like that translation is also weird tbh because no ones a wife #and those are iffy connotationns #but it's LIKE that #in that when they refer to each other as Alpha/Omega #i try to remember to capitalize the term of address #because it's taking the place of the name/nickname

If King Charles dies on or before March 25th, 2024, he will technically be the shortest-reigning king in English history.

Anyway, like to charge, reblog to cast.

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

#i used to be pretty intimidated by the idea of having to describe my art but. it isnt as hard as it sounds #i just treat it like im describing an image i dont have at the time really #plus ive been told that even a simple id is better than no id #lev.txt

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

#like im not gonna name names but i can think of at least 3 channels #where they stopped posting short form content and went #wait the patreon is paying my rent im no longer a slave to the algorithm gods #HELL YEAH TIME TO SPEND 5+ MONTHS PUTTING TOGETHER A 3+ HOUR VIDEO #and i eat that shit up every time

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
