hey everyone

okay now you put a post

“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”

There's an up-and-coming Tech Giant, called Fenton Works, and Batman is determined to prove that the company is a front for a villain.

Danny, after his parents turned from Ghost hunting to being the first official Ghost Anthropologists, decided to repurpose some of their weapons.

And, well, there was a contest being run by Wayne Enterprises; whoever can design a robot that will help the environment got prize money and a grant.

Danny, in all his mechanical engineering prowess, was bored. So he designed a thing. Repurposed the Fenton Guns into a cute robotic tortoise that would clean the beach.

It spiraled from there, and now Fenton Works is the leading name in green technology that's cleaning up the Earth bit by bit. Sea Dragon robots that clean oil and trash from the ocean; beach tortoises that clean the sand and beach and deposit their hoard of trash into designated receptacles that Danny uses as material to make more robots; Cryptid "stalker" robots with long legs that delicately patrol forests to perform "fuel management" and clear out the underbrush to help manage wildfires; moving gargoyle robots that sit on top of skyscrapers to help clean the air with huge sail-like wings, etc.

Basically, Danny pulls a Doctor Elisabet Sobeck, but with less world ending and more actually helping. (Not that the world ending was Elisabet's fault, of course, but different franchise)

And due to the number of times aliens try to attack and rogues send their own robots to attack people, naturally Danny installed self-defense protocols, along with one single golden rule written into the very OS of every single robot; Save Humans Whatever the Cost.

Problem is, Batman has never seen robots like this not be used for evil purposes, and he knows that their power source (a closely guarded Fenton Works secret) is some sort of liquid that glows green.

He really only knows of one liquid that glows green.

So he's determined to find everything he can about Fenton Works, because there's no way that Daniel Fenton isn't actually a villain in the making.

Danny's just thrilled for the chance to work with Wayne Enterprises.

Boboiboy AU idea that’s been spinning around in my head for a while now.

Mech/AI AU where Gentar is some kinda war machine, who was thrown away after proving to be defective. He spends his days wandering. His personality is like in canon. For some reason, he’s able to experience emotions and enjoys it (most of the time). He likes to help people too! His travel companion is Sopan.

Supra is a hyper intelligent firewall system for Sori, who is a very important AI capable of accessing forbidden knowledge. While they’re both super advanced, Supra can’t (or probably doesn’t want to) experience the emotions Sori always blabbed about.

In an incident, Sori and Sopan was taken away. Supra, without a proper physical body (because it got blown up by the attackers), begrudgingly teams up with the defective Gentar, who answered their distress call. Due to his physical vessels being destroyed, he had no choice but to inhabit Gentar’s body too (Much to the AI’s disgruntlement- Wait what?)

Together, the 2 embark on a journey, albeit a tumultuous one to get back what they’ve lost, learn new things, and touching grass. Sharing a body sure isn’t easy.

Oh. Oh god. And Hong Lu is very often compared to Yang (who heals SP).

Faust talks about “suddenly losing support, ego will collapse” or something like that. The 2 fish doesn’t like being seperate

Your honor they are each other’s mental support and the Jia might try to split them up for their own gain- *screams*

Fan designs for Limbus Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu except it's following my personal extremely deranged and yet surprisingly plausible theory that Hong Lu is the result of Daiyu's body being used to hold Baoyu's consciousness via his eye. He's Both of Them. Two in One.

BE FREE!!!

do you think dad quixote prepared the fireworks for these special occasions

Chances are, probably??? They probably had got help from other species to make their powersphere, but Monsta didn’t give us any details.

Well, that took place after the Kubulus became the evil species they are today. The powerspheres felt misused and rebelled, fled.

i ahve so many questions abt this series. WHERE DO POWER SPHERES COME FROM??? WERE THERE ELEMENTAL USERS BEFORE HANG KASA'S GENERATION?? WHAT IS OCHOBOT'S ACTUAL POWER?? WERE THE OTHER POWERS ALREADY IN OCHOBOT WHEN HANG KASA USED THEM TO SUCK OUT THE ELEMENTS???

*cracks knuckles* Writing these out from memory, do pardon my possible misinformation

The powerspheres were made by the Kubulus to protect themselves from invaders, but greed took over and eventually went to heck.

We’re not sure about previous generations, but it’s a very real possibility

This is my own theory, but Ochobot is probably meant to relocate powers like the elemental power after their respective bots are destroyed. Or to forcibly take it. Little guy is storage.

For the last one, probably. Ratna did tell Hang Kasa to seek Ochobot out, suggesting some level of notoriety

I'm pretty sure everyone remembers how Dante's clock has been moving over time. BUT, there is now an identifiable pattern to its movements, and its associated with the development of the sinners!

During Cantos 1-3, Dante's role in events is one of a passive observer. Gregor, Rodion, and Sinclair all made it through their cantos without much (if any) advice from Dante, the events of which mostly served to establish where they stood as characters/why they behave in the ways that they do.

Canto 4 was where this formula started to change. Yi Sang needed more out of Dante than the previous sinners; There was a Big Issue from his past that was controlling his future (namely, his entrapment in the past caused by the Hot Mess Involving T-Corp And The Mirror), forcing Dante to take on the role of Emotional Support Clockhead to guide him through the Canto. And at the end of the Canto, two things happened:

Vergilius commented on "the look on [Dante's] face"...

... and the clock moved for the first time.

The next 2 Cantos maintained this level of involvement from Dante: Ishmael needed Dante to help guide her away from her self-destructive obsession (I.E, to find "[her] compass [which] was swallowed by the sea" and choose to start "piercing through the rope that strangled [Captain Ahab] and [Ishmael]", freeing her to move toward the future), and Heathcliff needed Dante to help guide him through effectively communicating how much he loved Catherine/engaging in healthy relationship dynamics. (Seriously: the real antagonist of Canto 6 is communication issues.)

Effectively: Cantos 1, 2, and 3 had Dante doing the equivalent of talking with their respective Sinners as they drove their car down an empty street. Pretty casual, nothing major happened. Cantos 4, 5 and 6 required Dante to give directions, help them figure out where they got lost, convince them to pull over, calm down, and eat SOMETHING to get their blood sugar up before continuing toward their destination. More work, but these Sinners received greater rewards.

With Canto 7, the car was inside an IKEA.

Sinclair had to get the doors open. Faust had to find the car, awkwardly wedged in one of the shortcuts between display sections. Gregor, Rodion, Ishmael, Yi Sang, and Heathcliff had to pull Sancho out of the bunk bed in a completely different section of the store, with Ryoshu and Outis bringing their spoils from the marvelously-priced IKEA food court. Hong Lu had to help guide Sancho through getting the car out of the place it was awkwardly wedged, and Mersault held back the crowd. Dante's task wasn't just emotional support, but guidance. Sancho/Don Quixote needed someone to reassure her that there was a way forward, a something worth pursuing. And Dante did wonderfully.

So, is it a surprise that this canto is where the clock moved again?

Don Quixote (Who, as we learned in this canto, is a bloodfiend, like Vergilius) commented on Dante's expression.

And the clock moved.

BUT BETWEEN THESE TWO EVENTS, DANTE MADE THE CHOICE TO SMILE. "like Don Quixote asked me to".

THEREFORE, it is my conclusion that, between the commentary of lu-is-not-okay on Hong Lu's impending mental breakdown (SPECIFICALLY this post, which is the reason for my diatribe) AND the existence of this pattern of increasingly intensive Sinner rehabilitation efforts, Canto 8 will be the mental health equivalent of trying to get Hong Lu off of the car, which is precariously balanced upside down on a fountain, on the third floor of a shopping mall, while being chased by mall security (read: his family).

And it's going to be awesome.

reblog only if you’ve received less than 1000 boops! we can all get each other to “max”

reblog this if you're okay with booping spams please !!

You can spam boop me!

reblog if you let people spam boop you

Outis projected so hard in this Canto. Everyone thought she and Gregor were the oldest but no, it’s Don Sancho Quixote Second Kindred. The youngsters these days have no effect on her.

Imagine the conversation going something like this once Don snaps at the Sinners

“Anyone would be uncomfortable with such strong light right in their face. I’ve been out in sunlight plenty of times with the lot of you. No garlic doesn’t matter. We all know that coffin is far from safe put it away. The Christ imagery is one way for the religious to comfort themselves. And for the love of the Outskirts- PUT AWAY THE WATER!”

Oh boy, I sure can't wait for Intervallo 7.5, where the gang goes on yet another wacky roadtrip while the gang goes to Hong Lu's home district and learn about his extremely complex family dynamic and the many many references to the original novel, it's multiple remakes, and/or the series adaptation.

The next Walpurgis is most likely the Safety Team with Netzach as the next Announcer; and the next LobCorp IDs might connect to Abnormalities of denial, blissful ignorance, or the constricting force of family (Queen of Hatred, Queen Bee, Void Dream).

Even if the Sinners adjust to the fact that one of their members is a Second Kindred Bloodfiend, everyone keeps eyeing Outis just in case she tries to kill Don mentally or physically. She's still salty about the "betrayal" of having a definite threat in their ranks and were possibly waiting to backstab them at any moment (...Did something happen with Eurylochus, Outis?).

And even if she's also adjusting to a modernish life without the fanatic belief in Fixers, Don Sancho Quixote the Second reads them the riot act on their multiple attempts to prove she's a "real vampire" and committing elder abuse: shining light in her eyes or putting her in direct sunlight, putting garlic in her food, Dead Butterfly's coffin and Hundred Sins cross mace in her face cause Christian symbol or possible vamp bed, chasing her with a water bottle or spray bottle, so much water, so much water...

How it feels to read Canto 7 part 3 story

I’m Declaring War Against “What If” Videos: Project Copy-Knight

What Are “What If” Videos?

These videos follow a common recipe: A narrator, given a fandom (usually anime ones like My Hero Academia and Naruto), explores an alternative timeline where something is different. Maybe the main character has extra powers, maybe a key plot point goes differently. They then go on and make up a whole new story, detailing the conflicts and romance between characters, much like an ordinary fanfic.

Except, they are fanfics. Actual fanfics, pulled off AO3, FFN and Wattpad, given a different title, with random thumbnail and background images added to them, narrated by computer text-to-speech synthesizers.

They are very easy to make: pick a fanfic, copy all the text into a text-to-speech generator, mix the resulting audio file with some generic art from the fandom as the background, give it a snappy title like “What if Deku had the Power of Ten Rings”, photoshop an attention-grabbing thumbnail, dump it onto YouTube and get thousands of views.

In fact, the process is so straightforward and requires so little effort, it’s pretty clear some of these channels have automated pipelines to pump these out en-masse. They don’t bother with asking the fic authors for permission. Sometimes they don’t even bother with putting the fic’s link in the description or crediting the author. These content-farms then monetise these videos, so they get a cut from YouTube’s ads.

In short, an industry has emerged from the systematic copyright theft of fanfiction, for profit.

Project Copy-Knight

Since the adversaries almost certainly have automated systems set up for this, the only realistic countermeasure is with another automated system. Identifying fanfics manually by listening to the videos and searching them up with tags is just too slow and impractical.

And so, I came up with a simple automated pipeline to identify the original authors of “What If” videos.

It would go download these videos, run speech recognition on it, search the text through a database full of AO3 fics, and identify which work it came from. After manual confirmation, the original authors will be notified that their works have been subject to copyright theft, and instructions provided on how to DMCA-strike the channel out of existence.

I built a prototype over the weekend, and it works surprisingly well:

On a randomly-selected YouTube channel (in this case Infinite Paradox Fanfic), the toolchain was able to identify the origin of half of the content. The raw output, after manual verification, turned out to be extremely accurate. The time taken to identify the source of a video was about 5 minutes, most of those were spent running Whisper, and the actual full-text-search query and Levenshtein analysis was less than 5 seconds.

The other videos probably came from fanfiction websites other than AO3, like fanfiction.net or Wattpad. As I do not have access to archives of those websites, I cannot identify the other ones, but they are almost certainly not original.

Armed with this fantastic proof-of-concept, I’m officially declaring war against “What If” videos. The mission statement of Project Copy-Knight will be the elimination of “What If” videos based on the theft of AO3 content on YouTube.

I Need Your Help

I am acutely aware that I cannot accomplish this on my own. There are many moving parts in this system that simply cannot be completely automated – like the selection of YouTube channels to feed into the toolchain, the manual verification step to prevent false-positives being sent to authors, the reaching-out to authors who have comments disabled, etc, etc.

So, if you are interested in helping to defend fanworks, or just want to have a chat or ask about the technical details of the toolchain, please consider joining my Discord server. I could really use your help.

Jasmine silently considered her options. She doesn’t have a home here, a foreign entity….

(She misses her friend too)

“Yeah, let’s go grab those witches. Not like I have anything else to do right now anyways” she shrugged. Maybe getting some action in will help

“So, how do we find them anyway, if they’re all hidden in their own space? Just walk into random alleys til we find one?” She also noticed the missing weight on her arm, so much for a cheese wheel she found.

The Jabberwock hardly felt regret in it’s life

With its label as an evil dragon, it can practically do whatever it wants. Well, maybe it regrets things a tiny bit when consequences comes and get it, but it goes back to what it does later.

This time, it was different. A person so important, more than any gold it was offered, and- Not like it really knows value, but this person is important, and they had been taken away from it.

Now, as Jasmine (what a tacky name, but it’s one of the things left of her), the evil dragon embarked on a quest for knowledge. Inter-dimensional travel is no easy feat, how the heck Alice and Dorothy did it she has no idea. They did have some form of assistance or got whisked away in a hurricane…

All that she came across told her it was impossible, but she died a few times and came back, which is also impossible by human standards.

She just, didn’t quite expect the spell to activate so easily. Now, where the heck is she.

The place is all filled with strange and abstract objects, she can’t really make heads or tails of what are in the piles, but it’s not important. What’s notable are the wind up rodents carrying the objects and piling them. They remind her of the residents of Wonderland when Red Queen is demanding they hold a festival in her name. Gosh is she glad to be free.

Jasmine’s stomach growled a little, and she won’t deny it. If possible, she would like to have something organic for her meal. Looking among the pile, the dragon was delighted to fine a whole wheel of cheese! She promptly took it out of the pile, and all of a sudden, all the rodents turn at her, aggression clear in their body language, they start to lunge.

“Sugar honey ice tea” she was kind of hoping not to work for her food, but oh well. Fire ball it is then

@scarletvampiremistress

Jasmine looked at what Mami did, touching some black object to a golden colored egg made of some gemstone she doesn’t know the name of. The darkness inside the gem egg then disappears. Some form of purification?

And, witch’s labyrinth? She knew witches have their own lair, and she got labeled a witch by that association… No, maybe it’s different things in a different world.

“Oh uh. Thanks for the help Mami. But if witches are invisible, then how did we get there? Is it some kinda domain?” While asking the girl questions, Jasmine took a look around the place

For a moment, Jasmine thought she succeeded, she had found her friend, but she was also quick to notice discrepancies. This Mami person (does her name mean mom or something?) can probably use magic to summon weapons, but the one she’s looking for couldn’t.

Had that face had longer hair tied into one big braid, maybe it would have fooled her. Wait, how long has she been spacing out

“Nah it’s fine, I’m Jasmine, feel free to call me Jazz” She scratched the back of her head

“So uhh, what was that? The place we were in with the rodents. It’s just gone after you blasted them”. Jasmine was curious, rather than distressed for someone who had been in a labyrinth and almost got mauled by rats moments ago

The L corp employees vandalize the walls by the way

I never noticed it in game until now. There is one for Chesed's as well but its taken from my phone so I won't add the hall. Below are the writings in a clearer form to see along with a bit of scuffed translation for some. In order its Malkuth, Yesod, Netzach, Hod, Tiphereth A (Girl, First Section), Tiphereth B (Boy, Second Section), Chesed, Gebura, Hokma, and Binah. It's labeled as [sephirah name][ester] in assets.

I'm assuming the reason why I couldn't find the ones in the bottom layer in game is due to the fact they have Binah and Hokma as their sephirahs. And Yesod's department... it explains itself. If they are there I'm just blind. I used google translate for some of them but stopped after awhile as i had to manually try to match up characters after writing the general shape and that takes awhile BUT! In Malkuth's they talk about how 'joint training sucks' and how one sin and a hundred good deeds is 'creepy' with a doodle of it as well. Yesod's has one of an employee going 'We are all going to die!' with it underlined and a smaller response to it being 'shut up, you piece of shit!' along with a drawing of a PE box and it being called 'the root of all evil'. Chesed having a huge 'PESCA' (fishing) because of his ocean themed department. Even the clerks have sailor uniforms. Also a 'Get out of here!' near the left side as well with an 'already?' right next to the tally marks. Netzach's talking about the beer vending machine, how the upper layers are better (i couldn't tell what the response to that comment was supposed to be though) and 'here is the enkephalin'. Again, machine translated so not the EXACT words and only for a couple of them but I hope it's interesting!

ive been playing lobotomy corp and this is my only takeaway

Today’s spider encounter

anyways as i mentioned earlier here is my absolutely nuts 'analysis' of Boboiboy having autism, and how each of the seven elementals kinda showcase a heightened version of an autism symptom-

so we're gonna go down in order (of manifestation for the elements)-

Boboiboy himself- he's just got the vibe, y'know? But also; it's been established he had no friends prior to moving in with his grandfather, which, y'know, is quite strange for a "normal" kid his age. He also tends to look at the people around him to know how to react in certain social situations (usually the person he looks to is Gopal which. Isn't always the best choice). Also the strong sense of justice is obvious (including that he goes so far as to help villains as well). (Yes this can be an autism symptom).

Halilintar (Thunderstorm). hear me out. Halilintar manifested due to overstimulation. I mean obviously the phobia of balloons is a huge factor here- but being in distress due to loud sounds is exactly one of the things that causes overstimulation for autistic people (could contribute to why he has this fear in the first place). One of the ways people might react to overstimulation is by becoming irrationally angry. Basically what I'm saying is that Halilintar spends most of his time on the edge of a meltdown-

Taufan (Cyclone). autistic joy. listen LISTEN. it's DIFFERENT from other people's joy, okay? a lot of autistic people experience emotions very intensely, it can full out take over you. also as far as i remember (it's been a while) he was the only one who had such an intense reaction to the mood changing potion- sure, the other people who had it were locked in one emotion, but none of them went as wild as he did- because he felt it a lot more intensely.

Gempa (Earthquake). i will admit, i struggled for a moment with Gempa- but honestly i think it's because he is, in my opinion, the one who's the most similar to OG Boboiboy. other than the heightened need to protect, which likely includes the sense of justice, I think Gempa is the one who masks the most out of all the elements. This is also why he seems to be the most neutral element.

Blaze and Ice. I'm doing these two together, because technically, their origin points are from the same thing: Burnout. It's just two very different responses to it. On the one side, Blaze is trying to, ironically enough considering the name, prevent burnout, by relieving stress (by doing things in the middle of night while no-one is looking and there's no pressure of social interaction). When there is too much stress, he falls into an overstimulated state similar to Halilintar's. On the other side, Ice represents the more depressed side of burnout- aka what happens after you actually burn out. It's why he's tired all the time.

Duri (Thorn). Okay so technically Thorn first manifested in battle but we're ignoring that. His tier 1 manifestation, as we all know, was mainly most definitely because Boboiboy got a concussion- but! Here's the thing; I don't think the concussion is why Thorn acts the way he does (though it's probably a part of it). I think, Thorn is just unmasked. The others all mask on some level, but Thorn just, doesn't. He doesn't really care how others might perceive him if he does 'childish' things or says things that no-one else understands because they didn't make the same connections he did, and he certainly doesn't care that deadpan telling someone their outfit is terrible might hurt their feelings, it doesn't even occur to him. He doesn't mask at all.

Solar. Again, technically manifested during battle. However once again we are ignoring that. It was established that the manifest condition for Solar (as Light), was for the elemental master (Boboiboy) to "expand their knowledge", and "read more". And, well, I know Boboiboy specifically read a bunch of science and history books and stuff, but honestly I don't think it really would've mattered what he chose to use to expand his knowledge, because Solar's main autistic trait is special interest. Because Boboiboy mainly focused on science and stuff, that became Solar's special interest, hence why he rambles off about formulas and stuff, and why he likes doing experiments. He hyperfixates on that stuff.

now. i could do the fusions... but honestly i haven't thought about the fusions enough to draw conclusions, so we're sticking with this

Based on the idea that the bots become sentient and return as ghosts, we have this scenario

An old couple who lost their family befriending a rabbit teddy bot, with your usual sweet grandma and “grandpa with the pet he didn’t want”. The bot, who they named Willow is their unofficial grandchild. The bot would always visit them, assisting the couple with whatever they were doing when it was there. Grandpa named the bot Willow because willows are the first tree the bot planted in the garden with him.

After the invasion, Willow was quite literally smashed to bits, having fought to the end to protect grandma and grandpa. They only knew it was Willow because of the accessories grandma gave it. The couple grieved for the little one, but eventually sent what’s left of Willow back to Fenton Works, hoping that whatever they recycle out from the parts, it will bring others happiness like Willow did.

On the other hand, Willow, now a ghost is desperately trying to interact with the couple, unaware of the fact that they can’t see it. It has so many questions, only if grandpa would answer them like how he would always tell it info.

There's an up-and-coming Tech Giant, called Fenton Works, and Batman is determined to prove that the company is a front for a villain.

Danny, after his parents turned from Ghost hunting to being the first official Ghost Anthropologists, decided to repurpose some of their weapons.

And, well, there was a contest being run by Wayne Enterprises; whoever can design a robot that will help the environment got prize money and a grant.

Danny, in all his mechanical engineering prowess, was bored. So he designed a thing. Repurposed the Fenton Guns into a cute robotic tortoise that would clean the beach.

It spiraled from there, and now Fenton Works is the leading name in green technology that's cleaning up the Earth bit by bit. Sea Dragon robots that clean oil and trash from the ocean; beach tortoises that clean the sand and beach and deposit their hoard of trash into designated receptacles that Danny uses as material to make more robots; Cryptid "stalker" robots with long legs that delicately patrol forests to perform "fuel management" and clear out the underbrush to help manage wildfires; moving gargoyle robots that sit on top of skyscrapers to help clean the air with huge sail-like wings, etc.

Basically, Danny pulls a Doctor Elisabet Sobeck, but with less world ending and more actually helping. (Not that the world ending was Elisabet's fault, of course, but different franchise)

And due to the number of times aliens try to attack and rogues send their own robots to attack people, naturally Danny installed self-defense protocols, along with one single golden rule written into the very OS of every single robot; Save Humans Whatever the Cost.

Problem is, Batman has never seen robots like this not be used for evil purposes, and he knows that their power source (a closely guarded Fenton Works secret) is some sort of liquid that glows green.

He really only knows of one liquid that glows green.

So he's determined to find everything he can about Fenton Works, because there's no way that Daniel Fenton isn't actually a villain in the making.

Danny's just thrilled for the chance to work with Wayne Enterprises.

Happy one year to this account I guess- I miss my old acc so much too TwT
