listen to me right now: stop wasting precious time waiting to dress sluttier until you’re smaller. you have a limited number of slut hours before you die and barring cosmic interference you will Never obtain more of them. wear the crop top
You know the Grimm version of Snow White makes more sense than most versions if only because in that version Snow White was like 7 years old.
Like imagine you find a 7 year old in the woods and she’s like my mom is gonna kill me because I’m prettier than her and she’s not kidding. You know this queen is that sort of person. So you and your roommates adopt the kid and tell her don’t talk to strangers. And she keeps talking to strangers and getting poison combs stuck in her hair and whatnot.
Like yeah that’s kinda stupid but also she’s seven. She likes apples.
Also imagine it from the hunter’s perspective. The queen tells you this bitch is prettier than me I need you to take her out in the woods and kill her. And then you see who you’re supposed to kill and it’s a 2nd grader. Like how are you supposed to react to that sort of situation? Kill a human child? No. Because you’re not a brainless evil minion you’re just some guy dealing with a cartoonishly evil monarch. Of course you let her go.
Bad look for the Prince of course. Even if she did age while she was in that glass case. He saw a dead woman and just decided to keep her. And once she stopped being dead he was like we’re married now
He did cause the evil queen to dance to death in red hot shoes though. That was kinda cool.
With the acknowledgement that I’m grasping at straws, is it ever directly confirmed that the Prince wasn’t also 7?
See, I think that still works.
You are the guardsman assigned to protect the eight-year-old Prince. You are currently in the middle of the forest because he absolutely had his heart set on “going hunting”, and the royal second-grader should definitely not be traipsing around the woods on his own. You let him go a little on ahead and he comes running back talking about how there’s a dead girl in the clearing and there’s no-one else around and he wants to take her home because she’s really pretty, Hans, and she’s all alone!
You let him drag you to said clearing and okay, that is one angelic-looking dead child alright, and on the one hand the quality of her clothes and the craftsmanship on the coffin (who builds a see-through coffin?) speak to potential Consequences if you simply carry her off, but also for the amount of vines that have grown on the coffin she looks extraordinarily un-decayed, so you should probably get the court alchemist’s opinion on that, and there’s no way he’s going to come all the way out here in his embroidered velvet curly-shoes. And also this kid is technically assigned by God as your natural superior, or something.
So fine. You hoist the coffin onto your shoulder (it’s not like the Prince can do it. He’s eight.) and head back toward the castle, Prince chattering blithely all the way. And then you turn your ankle on a rock and suddenly there’s a thump and a cough and a lot of shouting from inside the coffin and you have now become a key player in a tense political incident with the next kingdom over.
You should probably ask for a raise.
We are in favor of just about any fairy tale ending with “you should probably ask for a raise.”

Reply from OP what-even-is-thiss reading: @/ avatarvyakara In the Grimm version he just sees her dead in her glass coffin and wants to keep her and she wakes up because of the servants carrying her trips and knocks the apple out of her throat. /End ID]

I think it went unsaid Snow White was mistaken for a saint. thus why the prince took her coffin#this was old times of pious ideology#if a body never decayed. thats a top mark the person was a saint and such deities HAD to be housed in a church#to the prince saw this perfect girl in a clear coffin of unknown origin. makes sense he’d think she was divine somehow and be properly house

I love how here on tumblr dot website we regularly cast the greatest curse we can muster on each other by pointing our long creepy fingers and intoning “10,000 notes” in a voice that carries the winds of the mountain with it.

I feel like the big push for AI is starting to flag. Even my relatively tech obsessed dad is kinda over it. What do you even use it for? Because you sure as hell dont want to use it for fact checking.
There’s an advertisement featuring a woman surreptitiously asking her phone to provide her with discussion topics for her book club. And like… what. Is this the use case for commercial AI? This the best you could come up with? Lying to your friends about Moby Dick?
One of the big pushes tech companies are making for AI is entirely in the tool of convenience. Take Gemini for example, one of Google’s really big pitches for it is in features like Help Me Read and Help Me Write, which are like the lowest tier use case for deep learning models but are also the two AI features that the average consumer will actually care about. Sure they advertise the GenAI stuff Gemini Advanced is able to do, but they’ve woken up to the idea that the average consumer does not care about GenAI and non-AI Bros fundamentally loathe GenAI.
Every company with a language model got sucked into the venture capital pitfall of AI and now have to market the one set of features the general person actually cares about.
I work in advertising and the culture shift surrounding AI even from January until now (end of March) has been drastic. At the beginning of the year, the company I work for was using AI to design most of their assets. Clients started coming back and requesting that we no longer use AI generated images or videos for copyright liability reasons. Basically, there’s no way to tell whose art or photography was scalped to make an image, so as companies who are trying to make a profit using potentially stolen images, it puts them in a gray area, legally.
Also, companies do look at their comment sections. Anti-AI commenters on social media (“this is not a real image” “I don’t trust companies who use AI” etc) are seen by higher ups of a company. Basically, keep bullying brands who use AI, it’s working. Now my company uses almost no AI for deliverables, which is a huge win.
My favourite translator said that when she was an ambassador for Hungary she took all these Japanese politicians on a tour and she was trying to circumtranslate ‘merry go round’ cause she didn’t know the Japanese word for it by calling it a ‘horse tornado for children’ and they had no blessed idea what she was saying and she finally started running in circles going up and down and they go ‘ohhhhh, in Japan we call those ‘merry-go-rounds’“

why are dudes in fanfic always getting hit with freight train orgasms. why not an orient express orgasm, classy and romantic. where are the shinkansen train orgasms? his orgasm hit him like the TGV atlantique breaking the passenger rail speed record. like the shanghai maglev, his orgasm was a feat of engineering but something of a commercial disappointment.
Don’t tell me delayed orgasms aren’t a thing

Hidden object games are a fascinating demonstration of the arbitrariness of genre as a marketing tool because sometimes a game with “hidden object” on the cover is basically a digital version of Where’s Waldo, and sometimes a game with “hidden object” on the cover is a full-featured point and click adventure game that just doesn’t call itself that because its target audience is your middle-aged mom and the phrase “adventure game” doesn’t sell for that demographic, and there’s absolutely no way to predict from looking at the promotional material which of those it’s going to be.
And then every few years the games industry goes “ADVENTURE GAMES ARE DEAD AND HAVE BEEN SINCE THE 90S AND NO ONE HAS MADE ONE IN YEARS! LOOK AT WHAT A STRANGE RETURN TO FORM OUTLIER THIS ONE THING WE’RE RELEASING IS.”
Yeah, it’s long been my contention that the preponderance of evidence suggests point and click adventure games never really “died” – they just became persona non grata with the gaming industry’s promotional apparatus because because their player demographics started to skew strongly female for various reasons, and to this day the industry remains allergic to acknowledging that women play games.
hot flaming take i’m abt to slap you with: it’s not acceptable to punish children for their grades, no matter the circumstances.
lost a follower for this one!
Any situation in which the grades are “bad enough to punish” is a situation in which your child is already struggling, and needs, more than anything, your support and affection.
If you punish them you will teach them nothing but how to loathe
And that their worth is dependent on what they can accomplish.
Oh, teaching them that their worth is dependent on what they can accomplish is fully intentional a lot of the time…
spec. spec. spec youve changed the game. i never realized your pointer finger and your wrist artery are the same. holy shit. im going to draw hands thank you
I once heard a quote by a dude named Alan Watts that went “A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So, he loses touch with reality, and lives in a world of illusions” and now when I get trapped in an anxiety spiral that likes to pop in too
I think the internet might be like this as well actually
This quote may in fact be the philosophical highbrow equivalent of Bitch Go Touch Grass
