has stanley ever tried taking off the narrator's mask?

to be honest, stanley just kinda thinks that's his actual face until the Narrator actually tells him otherwise. he probs just assumes that his model is busted or something and that's why his face looks like that. but also it would be funny if he just

#asks #anon #not depicted: stanley backed up in the corner like a fearful animal while the narrator tries to calm him down #sorry for taking 4EVER on this ask. literally kept forgetting #i think its funnier for stanley to think he's a human who's in game model just glitched out badly #rather than to believe that he's yknow not human at all lmao #the stanley parable #scribbles #dont worry he eventually gets used to it tho #but otherwise yeah he just. leaves it on #i think ive drawn an interaction similar but instead it was the narrator showing him upfront

I think it's always gonna bother me how Gregory's hair is modeled so differently than Vanessa and Cassies-

Why do Vanessa and Cassie have visible hair strands when Gregorys hair is really shaped and cartoony?? Like if it was just Cassie having more detailed hair then I'd get it cause they could've just changed how they modeled hair for the DLC, but Vanessa and Gregory are both literally in the same game

#Chip Chatter #I think it especially bugs me because IMO the way Gregorys hair is modeled is better than Nessa and Cassies-#like Vanessas funko model where she had the more cartoony and shaped hair looked SO good #but then you boot up the game and she just has pasta for hair instead #and I know it's probably cause they changed how they modeled hair sometime in SBs development- but that doesn't make the difference any les #weird #especially when people render Gregory alongside the other two- the change in style is just so odd to me #it's not a big deal it doesn't bother me a *whole* lot or anything- I just wanted to make a post about it cause why not yknow

You understand Junko and her character better than her creators do ~♡

Thank you very much!!! She’s special to me, I fully believe she wasn’t meant to be written as tragic as she is, but if you look at what got her there she’s such a tragedy. I’m in strong belief that The Tragedy wouldn’t have happened (or at the very least could have been controlled) if Hope’s Peak wasn’t run like that, and if she had gotten help. With the way that school functioned, Junko was inevitable.

She’s very special to me. I’m happy people enjoy my interpretation of her!! I’ll be doodling her more from a fucked up little AU my brother and I have soon so look out for a revamped Survivor!Junko design!!

#Much appreciated many thanks #she’s so special to me #ask box #she LOVED HIM OKAY SHE LOVED HIM #okay maybe adding in the tags a bit #but as someone who heavily disassociates and goes through waves of apathy #of COURSE damage is a way for her to feel something #bc being stuck like that. something is better than the endless nothing #she needed love and support and therapy and instead she was in the MODELING INDUSTRY #what a horrible place for any young person #but she had already lost so much #just!!! yknow!!!!! aaaaa!!!!#outing myself as a Junko kinnie but it’s because of THIS #she’s tragic she’s lost she just needs help but no one would help her other than OTHER CHILDREN #ITS NOT MATSUDA’S JOB TO SAVE HER #HE ALSO SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN IN THAT POSITION #fuck Jin Kirigri and fuck hopes peak for forcing these kids to be greater than most adukts without the thought of a support system

fucking grammarly’s using their ai model to make a text generator like you absolute fuckheads. fiction writers have been your bread and butter for YEARS and now that there’s a writers’ strike you’re gonna use our work to fuck them over like. new levels of cyberpunk dystopia on that one

#i’m gonna start using prowritingaid instead i think but like #idk i’m kinda pissed about it. like i read their terms and conditions and privacy policy. but there really wasn’t an alternative at the time #that worked and it IS a really important service like. i don’t mind paying for it. i don’t even mind my stuff being used to train a grammar #checker model bc that’s kinda collaborative yknow? like other people benefit even if they are making money. but using it to fuck over the #writers on the strike is fucking evil.#idk i liked ai a lot when it was like. doing things to make our lives better and not being used as a bludgeoning tool against creatives #i would like to return to a time when ai was not being used for this shit

fun fact: look at her

#g3!iris clops my beloved #she's just a backgrounder so far but i like her design #she can look kinda awkward in 3D sometimes (i think they modeled her face weirdly?) but she's very cute in 2D i think #plus she's a fearleader! that's cool! i kinda wish they had actually modeled a uniform for her tho instead of just changing her shirt #Rambles Into The Void #i kinda hope we eventually get a doll of her but like. they Have to keep her fat if they do yknow

God i really should make a fancam for ten I can't exclude women like this. especially if the woman is a space satellite

#i just cant NOT think of a good song for her #i might just say fuck it and make it like a cutesy song and have it be a sparkly edit that i initially was going to do as the joke #before i ended up just going a different direction in the end #bc the joke i had in mind was like a glittery cute blorbo edit. but instead of it being like an anime boy or whatever #its nasa pictures of satellites. i still think this idea is funny #another reason I've been stalling on this though its Tricky to find various differing pictures of these satellites #theres normally like only 2 or 5 of each of them. yknow bc most ppl cant take pics of them in space #and also some of them arent even IN space yet. these are just prototypes and rendered models we have #so i gotta get creative when editing them so its not just. the same picture #but thats after i try as hard as i can to find pictures of them first #& try to get past the part of my brain thats worried abt getting in legal trouble #for using a picture of jupiter icy moons explorer in 100 gecs edit akdhfkhffkf #i dont care abt lunchables though they can suck my ass i will use as many pictures of them as i please #rando thoughtz

not to further out myself as a cosplayer but anyway sometimes i do wonder if there's a higher power because i'd been mentally debating buying this absolutely beautiful cosplay for ebenholz' eine variation skin on taobao for WEEKS like it was just in my cart while i waffled about it and yesterday a friend texted me with absolutely no context to ask if i wanted to get anything from taobao because they wanted to get a better deal on shipping so yknow. im just taking that as some kind of Sign

#asto's tales #its so. its so beautiful. like i've been calling it the disgraced german nobleman fit to my non arknights friends #partly because that's just. somewhat accurate and partly because it's really got that aristocrat look #one friend was like omg goth vampire fit which. yeah yknow that's the vibe #really dont think that friend was expecting me to send like several links of cosplay materials when they asked me but #to be fair i did ask them like how much stuff are we talking JKSHDKFJHS #and then the contact lenses i wanted to get couldnt be delivered to my region for 'legal or regulatory reasons' which. what does that MEAN #had to get like... normal people everyday use contacts instead of cosplay contacts which #ok im lowkey a little mad about because the colour doesnt show up as well compared to cosplay contacts and eben's eyes are like #SUPER light purple so yknow. that's troubling #but oh well. nothing to be done. if i'm really bothered about it i guess i can tryna get my own #also the outfits on presale cuz the seller ran out of stock so god knows when it's even gonna arrive JKSDKJFHKSD #and on top of that i didnt get his horns cuz if you tryna buy them on taobao there's only one person who sells them and theyre like #half the price of the whole fuckin cosplay fit. like are you jokin my ass #so now the plan is just to model them in blender and 3d print them in either my school library or my friends school shop #easier said than done cuz (looks at ebenholz' character art) what the fuck is going on

Ya know I was just thinking about the Villain Champions AU and how when they first met Iris they wanted to show her how to be a proper champion. Like how to kill those who defy her or how to use her power to get what she wants. But what if she outright refused to do anything they tried to teach her? Because she knew it wasn’t the right thing to do to others

Would they think of her as a failure of a champion. Someone who wouldn’t use their power and influence to “better” the world of the ones who they deem wrong. Would they try get her to resign as champion with threats so that someone better can try take the position?

Or would they still “protect” her like they did in the beginning. When she was still learning how to get rid of the people who looked down at her and get what she wanted with lies and threats. They’d think of her as a pacifist, but she’s still a champion. So if she won’t defend herself then they’ll do it for her

ouuuggghHHHXKSBDMSN that's so fuckin dope tho shit

Like that thing of them still protecting her

Cause like cbdmnd imagine if they force her to watch as they kill someone who shit talked her tho, like really holding her down, Lance and Cynthia just forcing her to sit all while Diantha calls her Aegislash and beheads the person who messed w her hcmxbd

Iris is probably there crying her heart out, telling them that what they're doing is wrong, that they're murderers, that they shouldn't kill people, they're champions they should protect people

Then the other champions are there telling her that they are Champions, but everyone took advantage of their kindness, looked down on them even tho they're the strongest trainers of the region, set impossible standards for all of them that it took a toll on their own psyche, like ofc that'd mess a mfer up

But at this point, Iris isn't even sure if what they're telling her is actually right. If they really were taken advantage of by the people they were forced to promise to protect, she doesn't know if the people actually set those standards on them that it broke them, she doesn't know if they're lying or not. Because she knows too, bc people have looked down on her too, had taken her kindness for granted, and still even after proving herself to the Unovan people, she still wasn't enough for them. And now she's wondering if that's what the other champions went through too.

And just bcmxnx ough yknow, the other champions being there to comfort her, to tell her what they're doing is actually right, that they're just doing it to protect her. She was still a new champion after all, she still has so much to learn, she's still young, and.. young minds are easy to carve and mold into whatever you wanted it to, you just have to know how to do it. I'm sure the champions will help her see just how powerful of a Champion she could be, she just has to obey their every word, and then she'll be perfect.

#god cbdmfbmd #yknow w all our concepts w iris just following the champions this never crossed my mind too habah #like a possibility where she thinks the champions are wrong #bc yknow theyre all her role models and such #and suddenly she sees them killing someone and her views just shatter before her #just chmdbd #that thing of dont meet your heroes but instead of them being shit to you theyre actually shit to the people who hate you hahah #damn this is dope cjmddn hahaha #villain champions au #an ask and an answer #jerseyk112

on one hand i appreciate just how gay all the npcs in wow seem to be

on the other hand it’s getting a little silly bc i don’t think i’ve run into a single hetero couple this whole expansion

#like on one hand i am still emotional over those two centaurs trying to propose to each other at the same time in the same place #they're adorable and i love them and i wish them the best #on the other hand i feel like i'm being pandered to quite severely #and i'm just over here wondering what blizzard wants from me #like most of it is just in passing instead of overt yknow?#like a lot of ppl don't read quest text or pay attention to character models so they won't even know #there's just some ''help me make a gift for my husband'' or ''take this memento back to her wife''#which is honestly the best kind of thing bc it's like. yeah it's not actually a big deal. it's not a spotlight being shown on it #but it also feels like there's an oversaturation of it and i am getting a little weirded out here #there were the ecologists. the gardener and the frog tender. the guy making a gift for his husband. the two centaur gays.#the centaur lesbian and her dead wife. which sucks.#not to mention the horde dracthyr leader and the leader of the healing weyrn are in lesbians with each other #it's just a lot after not getting anything at all and it feels like i'm being manipulated yknow?#now tell us vol'jin and tyrathan were lovers do it do it do it do it do it

i would love to hear more about your criticisms of the BITE model! for me it always feels.. unfalsifiable? it seems to do poorly at distinguishing a cult from any other community, if you squint at the definitions

yeah so first of all i'm not particularly keen on even trying to defend the category of "cult" in general. obviously abuse and control methods can and do happen in groups, but i don't think it's particularly useful to talk about this like there's a strict dichotomy between evil malicious groups and all the others. and i think generally, when people do try to sort groups into strict categories like that, what you actually see is that the differentiating factor is less to do with the degree of control exerted by the group and more to do with how much the person doing the sorting is bothered by the group's ideology or doctrinal commitments lol. like, this is sort of baby's first cult concept critique but yknow, a group setting where you're being extremely openly financially controlled is your job and yet most workplaces, however abusive and surveilled and controlling, are not typically designated a 'cult' unless they're also peddling some kind of heterodox religious or medical claims or something.

anyway in regards to BITE in particular, yeah i think it does a really poor job of distinguishing between a 'normal' level of social pressure to say/do certain things, and the kind of control that ostensibly characterises a cult. for example steven hassan has called both MAGA and online trans communities cults, and a lot of this comes down to his persistent and pretty open belief in the power of 'mind control' and hypnosis as mechanisms of cult control. ofc any group of any political persuasion could engage in abuse and high-control of its members! usually this occurs by financial means, social isolation, etc. but hassan's BITE model isn't really good at identifying these kinds of material factors despite paying lip service to them, because it's more motivated by his desire to root out these kinds of shadowy quasi-occult forces of mental reprogramming that he fears.

i just find the whole model to be pretty silly and used mostly as a way of justifying dislike of lots of different social, religious, and political groups---some of which are genuinely mistreating members, some of which are just saying things their critics disagree with---because it's perceived as a reliable social-scientific designation and therefore name-dropping it helps the speaker feel that they're making some kind of objective scientific observation rather than a judgment dependent, as are all judgments, upon their own perspective and values. i think instead of this kind of haggling over Which Groups Count As An Evild Shadowy Cult it would be infinitely more productive and helpful to vulnerable people to talk about how high-control groups operate, what sorts of methods specific groups are using to control and abuse their members, and what sorts of resources those members are dependent on the groups for and need access to from other sources: financial and material provisions, social support networks, etc.

Genshin SAGAU except Reader is a lore fanatic

cw: lore dump, archon quest spoilers, side quest spoilers, etc

“ guys did u know that the Sea Ganoderma is actually souls of children who died young trapped and is forced to spend generations absorbing elements from the sand and sea as the form of punishment?? ” “ what the fuck your grace. ” Tighnari muttered.

“yelan, i know where u got ur jacket. ” “ o- oh, really, Your Grace? ” Yelan stuttered, sweat dropping. “ Yeah, i know u stole it from a Fatui Harbinger that was supposed to be a gift for the Tsaritsa and made some 'adjustments' to make it fit your style. ” you stated with a smirk, while yelan tries to hold in her cries because you rlly are a Divine Being, knowing everything about Teyvat.

Archon quest spoilers down ahead

“ Guys, I have a theory that the upside down Statue of the Seven and city the Traveler and Paimon saw are actually the correct way and that proves it because when I took a walk at Spiral Abyss when I went down I expected it to be pitch black but instead I'm met with the galaxy sky and a moon and possibly, Khaenri 'ah and Enkanomiya are the ones that are actually in the surface, while Teyvat is underground and yknow what? Scaramouche is RIGHT. The stars are fake the sky is fake everything is fake as we know of HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ” your maniacal laughter echoed through the Akademiya as many Researchers are baffled by this amount of information

“ Alhaitham, do you have a second? ” “ Of course, Your grace. What is it? ” “ Are you the Scarlet King ” “ ........ excuse me ”

“ WELL i noticed that the color of your eyes matches the Scarlet King's eyes, and your boots matches the color of the buildings of the Scarlet King's Civilization. A blue gem appeared when the Scarlet King sacrificed himself and it kinda looked like the gems at your back. And when you do your burst it looks REALLY similar to the Primal Constructs’ attacks, and the Primal Constructs are what's left of the Scarlet King's civilization. And at your chest it looks like it has the wings of an eagle, and your name literally means young eagle. What does this have to do with the Scarlet King? Well, at the Dunes I've ventured, I've seen murals and a figure with a bird head and it could possibly be the Scarlet King but it strangely reminded me of you!!! Plus, you know how to use the devices made by the Scarlet King, whereas the books and researchers at the Akademiya shows no information on how to properly use them. Pretty suspicious...... ”

and then theres alhaitham sweating his balls off on how the hell did you get that information.

“ guys, did you know that when Enkanomiya was plunged deep into the ocean, they created a fake sun called Helios to survive, right??? But actually, the nobles wanted more power. They wanted a puppet or ruler that they could easily control or manipulate. And WHO WOULD MAKE A GOOD CANDIDATE??? THAT'S RIGHT! A CHILD. AND THUS, BEGIN THE REIGN OF THE SUNCHILDREN. They were young and ignorant, obviously easy to be deceived and lied to. They were manipulated to commit heinous deeds. The first Sunchild was deceived to imprisoning his role model for life, aka isolated from everyone. The sunchildren were DESPISED by their own people, EVEN THE CARETAKERS ARENT ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO THEM. Knowing that the Sunchildren could realize that they were being manipulated, the nobles then introduced Rite of Solar Return. Now what the hell is a Rite of Solar Return??? Basically, when a Sunchild hits a certain age, they will be taken into the inner sanctum of Helios. The artificial Sun's high temperature could AND WOULD incinerate them alive!!!!! AND SOMEHOW, SOME HAVE SIMILARITIES WITH OUR CURRENT ARCHONS!!! Orupeusu had a talent for the lyre, aka the Anemo Archon. Risutaiosu made lifelike sculptures, like the Electro Archon. And Isumenasu would roam his country, AND EVEN HAD A SPEAR LIKE THE GEO ARCHON AT HIS GRAVE!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA I AM A GENIUS ”

the fact that people would still listen to your rants about Teyvat but still be concerned about your mental health is hilarious

if you werent the Divine Being of All, they would've locked you up where no one can find you, you know

Dottore would like you tho

so that's good

The Cold Hearted Amateur Economist Studying the Annual Budget ($113.4 million proposed 2023) for the Chicago Public Library to state "This Is a Stupidly Great Deal."

I am not a professional economist.

To be clear, and to start with, I do not run economic data for real world scenarios for clients or governments or any institutions.

I do run fantasy economic models for fantasy worlds (elves, dwarves, dragons, etc.) for private clients (nerds with more cash than time).

But to be clear I am not a real world economist. So there will be variables I don't know/care about.

The Chicago (hi, I live in Chicago) public library proposed budget

for 2023 is

$113,400,000

(source)

Which is a lot of money, objectively speaking, when you look at it as an annual price tag of "I need $113,400,000. For, um, this year. Next year it'll be more."

In addition to being an amateur economist, as I call myself, because I deal exclusively in fantasy-world economics exclusively

I was a professional graphic designer for many years and have dealt with charts, graphs, information displays, etc.

for a really long time

From the above source, 24.3% (about $27,556,200) is provided by grants, leaving 75.7% (about $85,843,800) to raise.

Still a big chunk of cash.

Damn near $86 million bucks.

That would buy so many zines.

Is it worth it?! LET'S GO BACK TO "I WAS A FORMER GRAPHIC DESIGNER" and dealt with charts and things, a lot, to raise cash for weird projects, a lot.

$85,843,800 (above figure to raise) divided by 365 (sorry leap year, we're being un-generous) is $235,188.49 a day.

Nearly. A quarter. Million dollars. A day.

Wow.

But wait...

...there is more than one person living in Chicago.

Which means that it is NOT a daily bill to ONE person for $235,188.49. It is a daily bill for for 1/2,665,039 PEOPLE, given the city's population.

(source)

To be fair, not everyone pays taxes, for a variety of reasons.

Since I'm not a professional economist, let's be brutally unfair and guess only 1/3 of the city pays taxes. It's far more than that, but, yknow...

...amateur economist privilege.

2,665,039 x 0.33 = 879,462.87... we'll... just round... up... this isn't SAW.

FUN FACT, though! You can borrow SAW from the Chicago Public Library for $0.00!

Resuming the point!

Daily bill of $235,188.49 sent to a collective of 879,463 people whom paying taxes to fund the library using the above math.

(Folks astute in math are going to immediately get my end point that this is cheap)

$235,188.49 (daily budget) divided by 879,463 (people)

is...

$0.26742283643 or rounded up

$0.27 per day.

The Chicago Public Library costs less than $0.30 per day per tax payer to cover the entire city.

Less. Than $0.30. Per day. Per tax payer.

...wow.

You can do similar math by checking your local library's budget and comparing it to your local population and being as ungenerous, or more specific if you wish to get a closer-to-accurate number, when comparing tax payers.

If you want to say "1 out of every 3 people paying taxes is too high" (it's not, but let's just say it is for the sake of furthering my point of "the library is an intensely great deal) and instead... say...

1 out of every 5 people pay taxes

because you want to be a contrarian for whatever personal reasons

1/5 = 20%, 20% of 2,665,039 people is 533,008 (rounded up, per above SAW rules)

$235,188.49 (daily budget) divided by 533,008 (people in this ultra contrarian numbers formula) is $0.44124757977, or, $0.44 per day per tax payer.

Using 1/3 as a tax payer base is extremely low. It's easier math. I chose it to make a point.

Pushing it further to 1/5 as a tax payer base raises the daily cost by ($0.44-0.27) $0.17.

Use your local library. Your literal pocket change pays for it.

This is a "I love the library" post sponsored by the library research I am doing for a private client and work that'll be used for future Netherworld Post releases.
