Boueibu 10th Anniversary Movie My Beloved 💙💜

I did a self-reblog earlier, but want to add:

If anyone wants to help but just doesn't want their Google username attached to the edits, let me know!

I can mark the time range you want to work on on the spreadsheet so no one else claims it, and you can share the backup with me privately.

Remote Host, the most obscure Umatani project of all, is ending on July 10th after five years...

...and I don't know if they're going to delete the Twitter account.

There are so many tweets with stories and art that aren't found anywhere else, and of course all standard ways of backing up Twitter don't work. I've tried a lot of them.

The only answer is to do it manually, but there are a lot of tweets, the first being posted on June 16, 2021 (despite the account being up since 2020).

It's possible to use the Twitter search to find tweets from a specific range of dates, which is what I've been doing to experiment with finding the very first tweet, so it's not like you need to scroll to the very end of the account's feed.

If there are nineteen of us, then we can each cover a range of 95 days.

And I know that sounds like a lot! But I did the math: nineteen of us means we will each get six groups of 15 days. Broken down like that, it's much more manageable, it's just that I can't do it alone. If there are more than nineteen of us, it'll also be broken down even further.

There is also no guarantee that every day within a range has any tweets, but there are some days that have a lot, such as when a big announcement comes out (like at the very start, 6/23/21 has all the cast announcements).

Some tweets also seem to be repeats, like links, but I think they should still be included for the sake of completion. And of course, any self-retweets can just be noted as such instead of having to copy the content again.

The method of backup would be to copy and paste the original Japanese text, any links, any hashtags, any images, and the timestamp into an assigned Google Doc.

I've made a folder on my Drive consisting of all the docs, and each is named for the range of dates, along with an instructions doc and a spreadsheet to keep track of what's been completed. I will share the folder in a reblog to this post.

We have less than a month to do this, so please claim a doc and start backing everything up!

Very much did in the sense that I literally do not know where my job is at the moment. But, for the time being I haven't been let go because nobody else including the store owner knows where it is either.

So, I don't wanna risk doxxing myself by posting pictures but goddamn am I tempted because this is not a believable event. This is a cartoon problem. For looneytoons.

But yeah, so, I work(ed?) at a kiosk selling boba tea, right? Freestanding kiosk in the mall with full water and electrical hookups and multiple fridges and sinks and a mini kitchen and the works. Fully functional tea shop. Very important to note that it was there last night, The work chat was discussing another issue last night at closing time. I'll get back to this.

It's been showing signs of being on the way out with how business is being handled lately and I've been considering other options, which is probably why I'm not as torn up about this as I should be, but maybe it just hasn't set in yet, but that's not the point. The point is there's been a lot of shit breaking and not being replaced and nobody mentioning anything about it until I walk into work in the morning and have to figure out why shit like the fucking cash register isn't there today. So I'm kinda used to having to ask questions about big things that nobody bothered to update me on. I was out for two weeks recovering from a surgery, so I came to work this morning assuming there'd be some kind of bullshit, yeah?

So, the question I had to ask the chat this morning was:

Not a text I ever thought I'd have to send in sincerity, but there it is. Because what I found instead was a fenced off patch of discolored tiles and a few holes in the floor where my entire place of employment used to be.

And the answer? Nobody knows! It was there last night when the mall closed, and every single trace of the structure and all its contents including drink making supplies and our safe and cashbox was gone when it opened again. And when I say nobody knows, I mean everyone from last night's closers to the actual (former?) owner of the store jad no fucking clue about this until getting that text from me this morning. For once I am actually the first to know. 🎉.

So. I guess I didn't so much lose my job as had it stolen. Not by AI, but good old fashioned hands-on human beings picking it up and carrying it away somehow. All mall security would tell me was that they were instructed not to tell me anything and have us contact our management. Who also don't know anything. And later on I came across some construction workers around the gravesite of the kiosk discussing filling in the holes, asked them about it, and was told that they "weren't at liberty to say".

So, not only is my job gone in the most literal physical sense of the word, but it was taken in some kind of super secret kiosk extraction in the dead of night without any warning or witnesses and nobody is allowed to speak of it. The store owner said she was gonna figure it out 10 hours ago and still no word back.

My mother in law thinks the FBI took it.

Not any of the other stores around the state. Just the one little kiosk.

Why? Because she loves a conspiracy and is just a little bit extra.

Also because she was around for the massive crackdown on Yakuza-owned businesses in Waikiki (in her homestate) that did actually involve the FBI seizing stores (no confirmation of making kiosks cleanly disappear in the middle of the night though).

Still no word from my job on what's actually going on, but the most likely theory so far is that maybe the kiosk was on lease and got repossessed? The mystery continues

According to the owner, based on what she's been able to find out, the kiosk was not removed legally and they're starting a potentially long process of legal action. I hope she gets to sue the shit out of whoever did it but for now at least I know for sure I'm unemployed.

Really hoping for more details in terms of who/why/how, so I'll keep updating if I learn anything.

For now the summary is: An unnamed entity that is most likely mall management (on account of mall security cooperating with them) stole an entire kiosk and all the contents including money and machinery with barely a trace in the middle of the night grinch-style, with zero warning or explanation, and ensured the silence of both security and the construction crew, in an action that was definitely preplanned and illegal, and as far as I know nobody knows its whereabouts.

Enjoy the unintentionally funniest text I've ever sent in my life

Aaand a close-up:

HEY HI HELLO THIS ONE'S MY FAVORITE

What's a big bang?

A big bang is a fandom event where writers create a story and artists are matched with them to create art for that story. Please keep in mind when deciding your interest that this is a collaborative event and there's another person counting on you.

There is a second poll on discord so please only answer one so I can get an accurate number.

If there's enough interest, I'll set up an event for later this year.

it’s not weird to love it and comment and leave kudos because the author will probably still see it someday and it will make them happy.

it’s not weird to like said author’s work so much that you want to go look for other fics from them.

it’s not weird to go through the authors profile and look for other fics from the ships you like (or maybe some that you’ll give a chance because you liked the author) and maybe bookmark them for later.

it’s not weird to read these other fics and like them too and comment on them because you actually like them and you want to let the author know.

it’s not weird to read fanfiction from 5, or 8, or 10 years ago and actually enjoy and engage with it because it’s perfectly normal to relate to something that’s less than a decade old!

let’s stop treating fanfiction like they’re instagram posts that stop being interesting in 24 hours! fanfiction is NOT social media, fanfiction is art!!! and art doesn’t get old in one day, one year, or even a decade!

S1ep11/12 of Boueibu really was just full of sexual tension, wasn't it? Just go ahead and pull him harder President Kusatsu, I'm sure it won't cause any of those feelings you're currently trying to ignore.

"Have you always been this cuddly?"
