Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real: Nature.com
I'm a bit frightened for the time when someone less ethical than the person that did this decides to repeat the experiment but leave out the part where they come in later and announce that it was fake and people wind up diagnosed with the fake condition and all kinds of wacky hi jinks ensues.

You know, there's this cliché that teenage boys always eat massive amounts, but teenage girls really aren't that different if they're not suppressed by diet culture and body shaming. Like, I was a teenage girl who frankly just stopped bothering to fit into mainstream beauty ideals at some point, and I would regularly make myself just one big massive pot of pasta and devour it completely. This wasn't even stress eating or anything, I just genuinely needed the energy because you know, I was a teenager and my body was developing. I feel like so many teenage girls think they need to eat as little as possible to be petite and pretty, but the truth is that your body is developing just as intensely as teenage boys' bodies. Eat more, please, your body needs it.
the worst part of summer is that people get sooo comfortable expressing their disgust at having to see other people’s bodies. they’re always complaining about wrinkly old men at the nude hot springs or fat women in bikinis at the beach. I hate that shit. if you’re not capable of being normal about bodies you personally don’t find attractive, just turn your head to look at something else! and if you’re not smart enough to do that, then at least do the rest of us the courtesy of suffering in silence, because we don’t wanna hear your weird comments. thanks.

So if Caine and Kinger finally have a father-son relationship… does that mean Kinger calls him by his first name, all three middle names, and last name when he’s about to unleash the full force of his parental wrath

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how well approached Tsukasa's 'glass child' writing is? A lot of media loves to highlight neglect in siblings that boils into resentment or fuels some sort of rivalry between them due to their unfortunate circumstances, but I don't think I've ever seen or heard of characters that direct their emotions towards themself so selflessly before. How Tsukasa's written to embody his architype to the point of growing up and building his personality systematically around how he percieved his childhood, and his healthy relationship with his sister. He's subtle in his 'glass child'isms, so much that people can easily read him as being shallow minded, and it makes for such a nuanced character. Not to mention how it's set in a Slice of Life esque narrative, how people can genuinely grow up this way and be left unseen. Maybe my cinematic library isn't expanded enough, but no one embodies 'glass child' so painfully realistic and beautifully like Tsukasa Tenma, and especially without the need to demonize any side of the family. Above all, his writing paves way for people in similar circumstances or similar state of minds to see themselves, and that's so gratifying.
I think if you understand TADC as a deeply personal and direct story centering on transness, emotional/self repression, the inner complexity of cruel people, ego, control, self-destructive tendencies, second chances, and what it means to live a meaningful life, all filtered through the core vision of one person, you'll find a raw expression of all those things, an experience being shared. You'll find a story that is consistent in its theme, subject matter, and quality throughout. Not something impossibly esoteric or flawlessly sophisticated, but a story that puts every piece it needs to into place. A story that completes itself, that says what it needs to and leaves a mark after it does.
Conversely, if you understand TADC as a story to take every single aspect, moment, outcome, and detail totally literally rather than in tandem with the thematic signficance it communicates. Or were looking for a more lore-driven story. Or were hoping for a more rounded exploration of its world and characters, a hollistic dive into the premise it sets up rather than a story barreling towards a specific end goal/a very pointed thematic stance. You're gonna end up disappointed with what you got.
And this is not a moral judgement, I don't think any expectation is at all more correct than another. I actually think my last point is probably even the most fair stance to have. Especially if you don't engage with any secondary material and just look at the show itself, since it doesn't totally establish Jax as a core focus until later in its run. Some storylines do feel very sidelined.
But if you view the show for what it was meant to be rather than what it was expected to be, I personally think it was rather beautiful. Not perfect, not the pinnacle of cinema, but as a trans woman, it was meaningful to me, dearly so. I feel like the standards its being held to aren't totally reasonable. I think it's a story that deserved to be told as it is, I think it's human.

guys. guys i can't stop thinking about that transgender rabbit.
the bait and switch of the century. she's a terrible person. she used to be a tumblr sexyman. she's the most popular canon transfem character. ever. she has borderline personality disorder. she's a cringe girlfail lesbian. she's bugs bunny in her mind palace. she's even emo.
SORRY I ACCIDENTALLY POSTED THIS BEFORE IT WAS DONE BUT I FIXED IT !!
my earlier mizuena x hollanov x slimeknight au but doomeder
an impatiens, shying away from her 告白.
what if mizuki kept running and running, hiding from ena until she disappeared for good?
a sunflower, following his солнышко.
what if ilya never made it off that plane and never saw shane again, but his mother instead?
and an orchid, abiding as the alay na tupa.
what if d3rlord3 closed the gates before avery ever made it to the top of the tree?
If us staying friends means you have to suffer, we should just say goodbye to each other now. For being weak, I’m sorry. My lies and greed, I'm sorry. But even so, just a little, sometimes, just keep me in your heart. Just don't forget, that's all I want, and keep me in your heart.
You cannot blame yourself, if it... gets bad. You are the best thing in my life. I love you. Always. Maybe from the first time I saw you. I am thinking only about you right now. A million memories. Thank you for those. Whatever happens, I am with you. Safe in your heart.
It's okay. You might not even remember me when you're out of here. I just don't want to be forgotten. / You'll do great things. So believe in yourself. It doesn't take a god for me to figure that out. I know it because I saw you. Goodbye my friend. Whatever you do at the crossroads. Keep going forward.
d3rlord3 fanart not by me!! the original artists
context:
impatiens - also called touch-me-nots, their seed pods easily burst upon contact, heat, pressure etc. they are also protandrous, meaning they essentially shift from male to female sexual function throughout their life.
mizuki's quotes are from With Our Hands, Covered in Wounds Chapter 8 and Kokuhaku by Naisho no Pierced Earrings
告白 (kokuhaku) - confession
in this world, ena still runs into mizuki but is never able to chase her down. mizuki ends up in the alleyway and MEIKO is unable to convince her to turn back. alone, exhausted and scared, 3km away from home, mizuki wanders around. now, either A. she goes to a train station and trips into the tracks, B. she just passes out in the alleyway and hits her head, C. she makes it home and decides to disappear.
sunflowers - shifts growth to follow the sun. not much on this, chose it cause vibes and the sun motif. fun fact their seeds follow the golden spiral and their seeds+petals follow the fibonacci sequence (hence many have 21, 34, 55 or even 89 petals, though they may have numbers in between)
ilya's quotes are from The Long Game chapter 37 and 25
солнышко (solnyshko) - sunshine
in this world, ilya is unable to open up as much as he did at the cottage but still moves to ottawa. he forces himself to remain distant at times even if it kills him, as he's still convinced that he is ruining shane's life over his "selfish" emotions. he never goes to galina but wishes constantly to let himself be happy. the issue is that he knows only shane will make him happy and he would rather "protect" shane than be happy. this ends during the plane crash where he lets ll of his emotions out through text before he meets irina one more time.
blue orchids - a rare beauty ("of the universe," perhaps,) and the closest flower in minecraft to forget-me-nots, which symbolize remembrance. their name comes from a German legend where a knight drowned with the flowers and cried out the phrase to his lover. hmmm
d3rlord3's quotes are from Destroying A World That Doesn't Exist ~1:55:30 and Goodbye from d3rlord3.
alay na tupa- sacrificial lamb (i hc avery as filipino :p)
in this world, derek closed both doors in the mountains/giant tree realm thinking it would stop The King from reaching it, the one avery would be in. he leaves a book explaining what he would do and that avery won't stop him, along with his goodbye letter or some hint to access it. avery thus cannot proceed down the corridor and never confronts derek before he dies. i'll say The King also cannot teleport avery there as a last resort because the gates to the area avery is in are closed.
