Makin up some beasts

Blacked out in front of my tablet and woke up with sketches of my Touchstarved mc + Kuras my beloved. woops

Different Italian anon, but the thing with Tuscan C is that it's pronounced like a very strong H sound, which is extra weird cuz the letter H makes no sound in Italian, normally. It sounds the way Spanish pronounce the J. We say it's "aspirato". So then people from there will say things like Hoha Hola (coca cola), and it's funny. It's also extremely contagious, I got family in Florence, you spend 3 days with them you start doing it too before you even realize.

.

There is this whole idea that flipping a two sided coin doesn't have a 50-50 probability. It's not a new idea by any means, but the explanation is if you measured the mass of the coin, the force of the flip, the temperature of the coin & of the room, the force of any breeze, wind, or vibration in the air as it traveled, and so on, you could accurately determine within a small margin of error what side the coin will land on every time, and if you kept those constant it would flip on the same side every time. And that idea is also KIND OF the explanation for the conclusion in quantum physics that there is no free will.

A lot of people hear that and either clutch their pearls, roll their eyes, or aren't interested either way. (I mean, when you say some shit like that you're just going to immediately turn off any interest most people would have otherwise had but I'm digressing now). We all like to think we make decisions and choices, and then amateurs who want to talk about quantum mechanics alienate everyone by saying it's not true: you were always going to make these choices with no chance to make the other one.

But what I said in the first paragraph is something-like (but not exactly) what it means when you hear or read that according to quantum physics we have no free will. That if we had an unfathomable device that has been measuring all the variables of every single particle that was expelled during the Big Bang, with an also-sufficient/also-currently-unfathomable algorithm to plug those variables into, all within a computer that could do all of the calulations for BILLIONS of years, we could compute exactly where every particle was going and where it would end up, including those that make up the stars and planets, that make up the ground and oceans, that make up the animals and plants, that make up your brain and all of the proteins and neurotransmitters. That if it could all be measured and an algorithm sufficiently built then the decisions you make are already determined by the ongoing relationships and interactions the particles that make up your brain had in the past and are having right now.

However, humans cannot measure that, they likely never ever will.

Anyone that tells me they don't like quantum mechanics because something something affront to nature blah blah "they" don't believe in free will, etc. literally doesn't know it's just a rescale of the coin toss description. You still believe coin tosses are 50-50 because you aren't going to measure the variables used to receive an answer, you can still believe in free will because you can't measure the variables used to determine the ultimate path of all particles; I mean, I wouldn't become a theoretical physicist if that meant so much to you but I'm not your dad, do what you want.

Edit: I know I described the science mostly wrong, please check out the replies and reblogs for others' corrections and feel free to add corrections of your own for mine and others' learning, thank you.

ive been reading too much wuwa hate cannot tell if it's unnecessary doom and gloom or genuinely like terrible storywise

sending laser beams to my professor with my mind. kenneth you said midterm grades would b up by this afternoon. it is officially TONIGHT and guess what? kenneth i would love to not be clenching my teeth in my sleep tonight. kenneth i will be sending you a bill in the mail. yes i know its probably a TAs responsibility but i blame you personally. i hate school

oh btw i get even more why brennan (like me) clocked sophomore year fabian as fucked up and sad even if some of the other pcs were like "what are you talking about dude" . it's because the basic core theses of fabian and leiland eftbk as characters are actually pretty similar

Love the oc stand! I love the concept of the stand’s save point ability and how it not over powered. The fact that in order too activate it’s ability requires the stand to preform an action with the user’s body makes it a nice change from other time manipulating stands where the user just needed to order a psychic command to their stand for its ability to activate.

Thank you so so much!!!

Yeah, I really love building stands with limitations! I think the nature of stand fights for araki is often building something with a weakness or a limitation on its power, then finding how to either exploit or overcome said weakness- I like thinking about how Vesuvio would have to strategize and overcome obstacles to win with RB!

I'm so happy to hear you liked it! Running Blue is part of a set of stands built with my loves and it took me quite some time to come up with its abilities and design, so I'm super proud of it- thank you tons and tons for the kind feedback!

I love collei so much but it should be noted. the collei that I love is the completely fake ideal version of her that only exists inside of my head

thinking about beast/ars and how much it disappointed me.

In the light of their comeback, I’m curious what your thoughts are on Kard especially in terms of their choreo? I find it interesting how the middle ground conceptwise their company settled on for a coed group was “sexy” and by interesting I think they played it safe

well, they certainly aren't trouble maker. or triple h for that matter. and personally i don't really have an issue that they aren't like, explicitly 'sexy' in the same way? there's a degree of intelligence to 'playing it safe'; they're not an overly strong dance group so they have to keep choreo relatively uncomplicated, and they do a lot of live singing, so there's another reason to keep choreo simple. also i think to some degree, most coed groups assigned sexy at conception seem to generate a lot of their interest (at least domestically) from a sense of scandal, and from what i can tell, kard does not seem to be interested in fostering that? whether or not it's company enforced, it's a respectable choice to make and i think it's fair to want to be seen as just a group making music and not have to generate attention from 'ooo look men and women on the same stage interacting'. tbh where i think their choreo (and them in general) is weakest is that they very rarely have discernable concepts other than 'latin inspired'. imo their best choreo is for gunshot, which has a very clear theme and is well executed. i think if they were to get some more distinctive visual concepts going, like they had with gunshot, it would elevate their performances more and they would feel less 'safe'.

Honestly tma should’ve ended after season four like I feel like SEEING the fear apocalypse made it super underwhelming

why did an animated character who relatively looks like me have to be in such a mid movie

[image description: black and white sketch. dangeresque, further in the background, points his nunchuck-gun forward in a wide stance. dangeresque too, in the foreground, leans back on his feet & points his own gun in the air. they both look seriously to the right at an unseen target. at the left are some crates in the background. the caption is red, blocky & curvy text, reading "you take the big guy". end image description]

i honest to god put more stock into the relationship between these double-fictional characters than sb & hs themselves sometimes

💀 layla is so pretty i could cry but her awake voice is....... literally like nails on chalkboard

The funny thing is that I remember how much I struggled with the title for the fourth chapter of "Was Born To Lead" (A New Beginning) and was never quite satisfied with it, but now, I realize it does make sense, considering I actually began to write a completely new story with this chapter.
