Mental Dumping Ground

earlier this week Twitter user ppuccin0 tweeted about a fashion article that advised against tops with large floral patterns, saying the wearer was in danger of looking like a "ロマンティックおばさん," or a "romantic auntie." the tweet went viral with many agreeing that a "romantic auntie" sounded like a very nice thing to aspire to be, and some even posted illustrations or photos tagged with the trend

BONUS:

By contrast, the more delicate, fragile Cinderellas tend to be the isolated ones, who are all alone with the stepfamily (and sometimes a weak-willed father too). These include the obvious examples, like Angelina in La Cenerentola, Yanina Zhejmo in the 1947 Russian film, or Lesley Ann Warren and Brandy in their respective Rodgers and Hammerstein versions (with the latter's character arc revolving around gaining new courage and self-esteem). But I would also include Leslie Caron's Ella in The Glass Slipper: even though she's hot-tempered, she's very vulnerable too, and she's one of the most isolated of all Cinderellas, since the townspeople disdain her.

Okonogi: this is the comedy police, the joke's too funny

Hoshina: I'M NOT GOING BACK TO JAIL! *pulls out a glock*

Iharu: Stole a hummer. He wasn't in the best of mindsets...

Haruichi: I mean hes the son, if not heir to, a tech company. For all we know the gossip tabloids are always all over him and its just become white noise at this point

Kikoru: same vein as Haruichi.

AI to write your novel is wrong

Tartini was a composer and violin teacher and no one respected him, he was generally broke, and he started having weird dreams in which the devil asked him to teach him violin

despite being catholic tartini agreed - although everything told him this was a bad idea

so he taught the devil violin in his dreams and when he had taught him everything he knew the devil offered him payment, he played an original composition in his dream

Tartini woke up weeping and struggled to write it down

we have a historical version of "couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, this is just its tribute", and the song he wrote down made him "Sonata in G Minor, aka the devil's trill" it's usually played by 2 violinists because it's evil difficult,

now imagine you make a deal with the devil to write your novel, he writes it but only lets you read it in a dream and you have to transcribe it from memory the next day.... 150k of the best prose and plot you've ever seen in your life and you have to remember it
