This isn’t a panic post in response to latest Tumblr news, but I’ve been feeling more and more uneasy about the temporary nature of social media sites (and so much of the internet in general). So if you’re at all worried about losing touch with me, here are other places to find me.
I still spend days, weeks every year thinking about how this critique pre-dates the advent of Programming Socks™ and cat-ear headphones, and asking myself, “did the Hacker Aesthetic go from Unfortunate Sweatshirts to Neon Catgirlgender Fantasy because of John Waters? Did he do this???”
Is this about how ppl born in the late 20th century have a unique and fluid experience of navigating barriers to information access and its our responsibility to teach the younger folks how to tinker with technology to avoid being spoonfed everything we experience in order to have critical skills that keep us informed, autonomous, and able to hold power despite looming threats of authoritarianism or……….???
the whole thing with subtitles saying ’(speaks foreign language)’ is like. aside from logistical issues with outsourced transcription services, the solution is seemingly very obvious - just transcribe the foreign language itself. like, someone who hears the audio can, if they’re familiar with the ‘foreign’ language, glean some understanding from it, even just from individual words that are loaned or widely known - and by transcribing it accurately, that isn’t denied to those reading the subtitles. even if you can’t understand anything, the experience of having a character respond 'Non, mais votre chien oui!’ or ‘好久不见’ is better than having them respond ’(speaks foreign language)’. just like when expletives are censored in subtitles but not in audio, it’s a case of the richer, fuller experience being denied for a sanitised version compatible with a production pipeline that does not see subtitles as a method of genuinely conveying meaning, but as a regulatory requirement
U want something and then when u get it it’s like omg………… I’m scared
magic kaito retelling
summary
Exactly what it says on the tin: a retelling of Magic Kaito canon, although a lot more gay and an overall more serious tone. Now with 100% more consequences + bad coping mechanisms! Saguru is intended to be the primary, if not only, pov character. Eventual Sagukai.
This work is not yet posted, but feel free to ask me about it!
chapter one
status: complete
Saguru arrives in Japan and begins to get settled in. Also features the Adam's Smile heist.
chapter two
status: complete
Saguru properly makes a first impression with Aoko and Kaito, and attends the statue heist!
chapter three
status: in progress
Following his failure at the previous heist, Saguru brushes up on what he knows about KID while trying to make it through finals for the term. Aoko invites him to hang out over break.
chapter four
status: not started
The whole Saguru-Figuring-Kaito-Out ordeal.
I have a lot more outlined but I'm not entirely sure on the chapter breaks. I'm still trying to figure out how I want to work Akako in because I can't stand how Gosho handles her (sob). Any questions or interest in the story, feel free to let me know!
the devil is a gentleman
summary
Black Org Saguru AU. This is a series of vignettes exploring the AU, and of course there is eventual Sagukai worked in. This is a very different version of Saguru & I love him very much.
