thinking about that one wordless calvin and hobbes sunday strip thats just calvins dad ditching his work to go play in the snow... its going to make me cry
β#I LOVE that the comic keeps the lens on Calvinβs dad to the degree of not even showing Calvinβs excited face when his dad surprises him, #You can see the joy and excitement of the moment in his pose and reflected in his dadβs expression, #itβs a great little artistic decision, #I realized what gets me about it itβs the hat covering his dadβs head and hair so the dad just looks like Calvin. #you donβt HAVE to show Calvin! You already see him in the dad becoming a kid for a moment you only have to draw that onceβ
Gotta say, even though I love the iconic depiction of witches wearing brimmed hats in Western culture (I couldn't even begin to count how many times I've dressed as such a witch for the carnival) I also gotta give it to Shirahama for the concept of brimmed cap witches using said brims to hide.
In depictions of things happening before the Pact, we've seen quite a few witches with brimmed hats, and no judgment was made on their methods. But in the current era of the story, a brimmed cap pretty much signifies hidden agendas. That if you hide your face it means that you have something to hide.
And despite being quite simple, it's also quite brilliant. One single change and the narrative can immediately point us towards something. It's interesting because pretty much all of us are familiar with the depiction of a witch in a brimmed hat. But suddenly, the intensity of that meaning in the story immediately catches our attention.
That is to say, I want to point out that brims are a symbol of hidden agendas. Not necessarily evil morals.
(manga spoilers under the cut)
Because while you have Iguin and Sasaran and the whole dark aura around brimmed caps, it's a legitimately shocking and tragic revelation to see Custas don one of his own.
Ininia is a little harder to get around (not that she deserves all she's getting, she's also still a child!), but Custas we knew already. We saw how devoted he was to Dagda and how much it had cost him to lose use of his legs. We wanted a better future for him, and he was just given a start of it before it was promptly ripped away. So to see him be indoctrinated, practically, into that side during such a vulnerable and desperate time of his young life is tragic. I mean, as much as the pointed caps loyal to the Great Hall were complicit in or outright guilty of people like him being segregated, the Brimmed Caps pretty much experimented on him. It's really a rock and a hard place to be caught between.
And speaking of experiments, another shocking image is the one where Qifrey confesses to having been the subject of one.
The shadow of a yet-unknown brimmed cap behind him, showing how he's still haunted by what they did to him. I'm of the belief that Qifrey would be one of the last people to willingly join the Brimmed Caps for whatever reason, given his history with them, so it really catches my attention how this depiction is very much not a foreshadowing that he'll join them, but a depiction that in his attempt to hunt them down he ends up going down some similar paths. Not only through using memory wipe spells on his own initiative (which in this case is forbidden magic since those spells are supposed to only be used to protect the secret of magic-making, and that's not what he uses them for), but also through the depiction of how his own hat includes a trait of the Brimmed Caps: a way to hide behind secrets, both with the memory wipe spell and the fold that covers part of the face.
And all that is achieved through the very simple set-up of establishing that a brimmed cap means hidden agendas and a refusal to follow the rules. Because again, Shirahama makes it clear that it is not pointed cap = good witch and brimmed cap = bad witch. Through giving us background on Qifrey and Custas and then smacking us with those depictions and at the same time showing how much non-witches and even some witches suffer because of the tight rules the Great Hall imposes, the narrative shutters this shallow interpretation.

Every single one of the 599 refugees the US admitted last month was a white South African, according to data the State Departmentβs Bureau of Population released Friday.
In fact, so was every other refugee admitted this year. Since October 1, 2025, the US has accepted 6,668 refugees. Of those, 6,665 were white South Africans. Threeβadmitted last Novemberβwere from Afghanistan. No other refugees were admitted.

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason
i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3
unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it
i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map
i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs
this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.
crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.
He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense
Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.
My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.
Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.
He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM

dont trace reference images. dont even LOOK at reference images. in fact, don't ever look at anything that exists in the world, in person or in photos or in videos, even when you're not drawing, because you will still be able to use the memories of what something looks like as a reference when you're drawing it later. yes that includes yourself. destroy all the mirrors in your house. don't look down at your hands or feet. don't look. close your eyes. close them tight. forget everything. it's okay, embrace the darkness. just forget.
