Dude, it's literally turbo time.. 🙄

a little personal response / tribute to "here's the life i've always longed for" by Anna Haifisch. the original means so much to me, and even though it's hard, I feel like every day i'm making more steps toward finally being on the other side of that fence <:)

shit ton of people are repeating the thing about hayao miyazaki saying AI art is an "insult to life itself" and just as a reminder he was talking about the zombies that team made that were intended to be scary in how much they shook, but instead reminded him of his disabled friend. the insult to life itself was referring to the team trying to make scary real symptoms that people live with.

it was a quote about ableism. if he has said other things about AI type stuff, that is a different thing. but that specific quote was about ableism.

Friendly reminder that you should

• Write that fic
• Draw your OC
• Redesign that blorbo
• Plan that comic how you want
• Create the content you want to see
• Be cringe
• Be free

The only thing that matters is you having fun! Not what others think!

ranking the best things I have had heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)
2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:
3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse."
   As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."
4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!"
   Reg: ""[xxx], "Please remember that the patient is awake for this procedure."
   Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - "
   Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"
5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be anaesthetised]
   Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure*
   Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*

Sonics two butch sisters redesign or smth

bastard sounds great in an irish accent. if an irish person calls you a 'daft bastard' it just feels right

the welsh have the monopoly on things ending in hell. fuckin hell and bloody hell hit different in a welsh accent. its like music to my ears

the scots have piss and shite for sure. "its pishin it doon out there" "this is a load of shite" absolute poetry

if i may speak for the english i think we do penis related words very well. dickhead, knobhead, bellend, etc.

and for all the shit we give them, you gotta admit that no one can deliver a 'goddamn' quite like an american. theres a certain weight to it that you just cant achieve in other accents. when an american says goddamn you know shit just got real

so, i've noticed a few of you enjoying your short, red bowtie-wearing, completely unhinged, mostly bald, goofy-sounding, bug-associated animated villain with cartoon physics, reality-bending powers, and more than one distinct identity...

...but which one? 😉
