there have always been empires, but there have been people for even longer than that

sketchbook edition of a casual essay from discord DMs I think a lot of Asian conformist culture is about not making ripples that disrupt group harmony, prioritizing the wellbeing of the group (as an extension of the way within a family a member is taught to prioritize family needs over the individual). this directly contradicts the hyperindividualism of western economic competition where it's "dog…

GOJO: It takes a curse to defeat a curse. More specifically, it takes a curse of the same kind to counter a curse. MAKI: It's the curse's fault? Your face is screaming, "I'm a good person." How disgusting. How does the person that gets protected get away with acting like the victim? You've only lived your life with the flow, passively receiving the current of events to come. But the Jujutsu…

re: art

TW: cops, police brutality, killing, suicide I think art should have soul and meaning and exist beyond the plastic mechanical perfection of technique and saying smth you truly mean is more potent and important than making a carbon-copy of a Proper Technique done "the right way" when a facsimile / replica of smth that once meant smth may Look superficially similar... but lacks substance and…

houseki no kuni

TW: CSA I think for me when I read hnk, it was full of regret FOR having thought humanity may be annihilated down to the smallest grain of bone and having been driven to believe humanity is irredeemable bc of the way author retrospectively re-humanizes every one of his victims down to the interiority of the child made a bride kept like a happy canary who was manipulated to abandon him SPECIFICALLY…

re: the concept of being an abusive game dev bc u made people feel smth

TW: child suicide, guns, police and military brutality re: "ur an abusive game dev for making me Feel Thngs" emotional manipulation is a catch-all for the purpose of any literary device, but also you don't even need to move With the "purpose of manipulation" if you are emotionally sincere and intense in a way that is true. ex: the little prince the little prince is openly a (semi-)autobiographical…

writing advice 101

wrote up something for decker vn jam ppl so thought i'd copy it over here! figure out if any pre-planning (if any) works for u i think a lot of people find outlines to be helpful like maps or guideposts for when they get blocked during the actual drafting / writing process, but other people write by instinct. you have the "plotter" vs. "pantser" type of role where plotters write extensive…

humanity's virtue

humanity is not defined by its virtue but in the violence done in virtue's name. I think there is nothing worse on this earth than a human being. those with ambition have no sense, and those with sense have no ambition.
