Wow, there are quite a lot of people joining the fediverse lately.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/words-matter/201808/do-trigger-warnings-help-or-harm Since the subject of "trigger warnings" has come up again (and there's been a bit of interesting discourse), this article should be enlightening.

1) emperor's new fists, makai fists, sudarshana chakra anemos, etc
2) whatever the fuck these are

The Chinese government has recently removed all the GPT-relatived apps from the app store in China.
This move is aimd at preventing Chinese citizens from accessing historical events that opposing the CCP.

Small #introduction. I may redo that tomorrow or later but for the time being:
Hi everyone!
aquietjune, she/her, a thousand year witch who wants to be on the fediverse to discuss #anime and #manga (and sometimes #fanfic #writing and occasionally #cosplay?).
Main fandoms atm: #AttackOnTitan, #Umineko
Some stuff I’m reading & passionate about:
* #SpyXFamily
* #OshiNoKo
* #HousekiNoKuni (ahahah)
I’m rereading #DGrayMan (my heart etc etc)
Currently watching:
* #Monster (Naoki Urosawa)
* #MyHappyMarriage
* #UndeadMurderFarce
* #LinkClick
I like #horror and fictional #witches. I like the weird but also melodramas. Friend me?
I should play more of these games (and survive getting beaten up by them), lol.

Everyone's favorite cute anime girl bullet hell game.
Perhaps, there will be a day when I finish watching the plot for Ciconia.
I haven't heard much of it though, people prefer the other titles (which tbh are better, lol).
Have you ever just sat there for half an hour individually objecting to "legitimate uses" in the cookie overlay prompt?

Some thoughts I’m having (again) about stories:
I’m not interested in finding out about the twist before it happens.
Unless the author asks me to solve the mystery, or to question everything that is said, openly or though subtext (eg Umineko), I want to be surprised by the developments of the story; I want the whole setup payoff affair and the narrative devices to work as intended; I want to experience fiction at its fullest, trusting the author has my best interests at heart.
I think it’s an act of generosity that is needed given that stories structures and dynamics are in the end limited.
The British Government can't even secure their own electoral records and they want to build a very authoritarian state (which will involve a lot of sensitive info being held by various parties).

Linus giving Nvidia the middle finger here is kind of inappropriate but it should give you an idea of what I think of these shenanigans.

the kaguya-sama movie/mini-season was great. for what starts out as a comedy about two idiots who are in love, the character development and introspection they went through these last four episodes was honestly amazing. i cried #KaguyaSama
