JUST A REMINDER!!! Kaiba did came back after the DSOD movie… Takahashi Sensei created this art and wrote this(Google translate helped me out):  “It is a little future illustration of the story in the movie.Four years after the graduation ceremony, Yugi won a prize in the World Game Contest and began his dream of becoming a game creator. The game of Yugi crated received high praise, and Kaiba Corporation decided to start a joint development. The prototype of the spherical battle game = Sphereium II devised by Yugi has been completed, and Kaiba and Yugi are about to start the battle in space! From here, Yugi Mutou set out for a new Yu-Gi-Oh! = GAME KING! CompleteThis is also a future story. Thank you for supporting the movie version of Yu-Gi-Oh! At the same time I was worried about the future of Yugi, I’m glad I could draw an illustration of Kaiba!”

You can see the sphere is the game yugi developped, in the back you can see the monsters fighting IN SPACE!! And BTW… MOKUBA IS 16 HERE!!!! So yeah… IT IS CANON THAT KAIBA CAME BACK AND IS WORKING ALONGSIDE WITH YUGI!!

I didn’t know how much I needed this until I heard it.

The original song is how depression felt at first, this version is how it feels now

Wait for the master.

The amount of confidence oozing from this dude

i re-watched it several times, looking for what he does differently. finally i spotted it. look at the line of motion in his strike. it’s not especially fast, he doesn’t wind up more than the others, and it’s not a matter of strength – the guy who knocked over the stand probably put more muscle into it. but there’s a unity of movement he has that the others lack. his body and sword are all one curve. everything moves at once along the same line.

from a physics perspective, that means all the force he’s applying is concentrated at the point of contact between his sword’s edge and the target, and it moves at just the speed that breakage propogates through the material. too slow and it wouldn’t have enough force; too fast and he’d get ahead of the break, shoving the target over instead of cutting it.

from a writing perspective, that means that i should focus on describing a master swordsman’s smoothness more than their strength or speed, and can also have witnesses be confused at the effectiveness of strikes that don’t actually seem all that fast.

More than anything, it is probably edge alignment. It is one of the most important things swordsmen need to study; your best strike doesn’t do much if the sharp thing isn’t in the same line as the path of travel. A good sword is very very sharp and does most of the cutting work here. But when you’re 4 bamboo posts deep, if you have even a tiny bit of difference in the direction you’re trying to sweep and the direction the blade alignment wants to put your sword, you are going to find your blade comes to a very fast stop.

There’s also a difference between his end point and the other (unsuccessful) attempts. His end point is outside the last roll. If you look at some of the others, they are aiming *at* the rolls, not through the rolls. Their effective end point is point of contact, where the successful slice ends outside of the obstacle.

Autism versus ADHD

The biggest difference between autism and ADHD is that autism is associated with social difficulties and sensory issues and ADHD is associated with attention, organization, hyperactivity-impulsivity, and memory issues.

AUTISM

  • Difficulty with sarcasm & jokes
  • Difficulty understanding or processing nonverbal communication
  • Difficulty forming and keeping relationships
  • Hyper or hypo sensitivity to any of the five senses
  • Need for structure/stability
  • Rigid, fixed interests (SpIns)
  • Difficulty with eye contact (ranges from uncomfortable with eye contact to prolonged staring)
  • Difficulty sustaining small talk or casual conversation

ADHD

  • Difficulty sustaining attention
  • Gets sidetracked easily
  • Trouble with organization
  • Loses things easily
  • Easily distracted
  • Forgetful
  • Object impermanence
  • Fidgeting
  • Unable to play or take part in casual activities quietly
  • Completes others' sentences or tends to interrupt other people
  • Trouble waiting their turn
  • Often interrupts or intrudes on others (can be with games or conversations)
  • May take over what other people are doing
  • May take or use other people's things without asking
  • Unable to or is uncomfortable sitting still for extended periods of time
  • Restless or hard to keep up with

BOTH AUTISM & ADHD

  • Executive dysfunction
  • Not thinking about others before speaking or doing something (not out of malice)

14% of people with ADHD are also autistic (cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/data.html)

If you experience autistic traits and have ADHD, please look into autism.

Don't spread misinformation about autistic and ADHD traits.

Men in Black (1997) dir. Barry Sonnenfeld

I use this scene to explain implicit bias to people. his first instinct is to assume the aliens are violent and the girl is innocent, but instead of acting on those assumptions he takes time to recognize his bias, look at the situation again, and then act. 

I watched this with my dad when I was fairly young, and I remember thinking that this was why he got chosen; before he even really knew what was going on, he didn’t assume that aliens were dangerous monsters.

It goes even further. The Men in Black IMPLICITLY are pro-non-violent-aliens-living-among-humans.

Therefore Jay taking note of how each one seems menacing but notes the smaller details is exactly what the MiB are looking for. The other candidates fired at every nonhuman looking entity in the simulation.

Look closely and you’ll see the simulation is full of big teeth, dangerous looking aliens doing mundane tasks like crossing the street, preparing for a sneeze, hailing a taxi, getting a hot dog from a vendor.

The Men in Black SPECIFICALLY look for people who are perfect at sorting out what an actual problem is in a crowded situation. Zed must have been beaming on the inside. This man really WAS a perfect candidate.

I love pointing this out: the novelization confirms, yes, he was 100% right in his assessment there

Why does the entire rest of the internet think tumblr is “dying” or “dead” when I have seen absolutely no drop in activity level on here ever

Would you rather twitter and reddit people move back here? I think it’s good people think we’re dead

( despite the massive drop in activity since *the incident*, my timeline has been way more sane since then too )

don’t tell anyone we’re still here. we like that everyone thinks we’re dead.

“I can’t believe Tumblr is dead.”

*in the distance* “Yes, keep telling people we’re dead!”

“Sometimes I can still hear their voice.”

*in the distance* “No you can’t, we’re dead!”

Tumblr is like those snakes that lay on their backs pretending to be dead but if you flip them they roll back like “NO FUCK YOU IM DEAD”
