a lot of cosplayers seem to not really be aware that the making part isn't a discipline unto itself, it's the intersection of a bunch of practices that already exist?? so much wheel-reinventing because folks want a "cosplay tutorial" instead of picking up a book on garment construction, etc

the cloud is onto something

it’s a canon event i can’t be stopped

Progress

there are scents i don't like wearing myself but enjoy on other people! or scents on i don't want on a person but could enjoy as a home fragrance! and then there's vanilla :)

Easy mode: shipping characters who never meaningfully interact in canon.

Real fandom hours: taking a pairing so far removed in narrative space that the show's basic premise has changed twice between the last appearance of the one and the first appearance of the other and making them fuck.

homeboy's emailing the real assignment to the prof so we can maybe salvage some kind of grade. i have beef with enough MBAs professionally that i have a vested interest in making sure this one business student works hard and learns to use his brain

we spend all night fixing the numbers, i wake up 10 hours later to find out the ne’er-do-well children have submitted this thing after changing the citations on our new feasible numbers to chatgpt, the thing that is not a source and which makes it seem like we deserve a 0 again :)

i'm more familiar with the phenomenon from the perspective of friends who are teaching and hand out a lot of zeros about it, and it's enraging that they have to waste so much of their time grading slop no one could even be bothered to write, but this is a cute new experience
