When Japan slammed its borders shut during the pandemic, Kyoto got to take a breath because without the net-negative foreign tourists making the place shitty and overcrowded, the Japanese domestic tourists came back. The foreign press ignored this and ran wall-to-wall "KYOTO DYING WITHOUT CONSTANT FORCEFEEDING OF NIGGERDOLLARS", naturally.

And I've still got my strut.
(For as darkness flees the dawn-sun,
So too comforts melt travails:
Such as dinner-conversations on
The joy of fluffy tails.)
There are certain pleasures
That money cannot buy –
Don't live to polish treasures, for
You too one day will die.

"Florinda" wasn't an exception; Victoria loved giving Albert art of beautiful 2D women, among them William Edward Frost's *L’Allegro* she presented him with on his 29th birthday.
Albert, not to be outdone, returned his queen's enthusiasm with sculpture. For her 23rd birthday, he commissioned Emil Wolff to carve a sculpture of himself as a scantily-clad Greek warrior, which the censored remnants of Victoria's journals call "very beautiful" (judging how she gushes about Albert in the uncensored journals we have, it's likely she actually wrote a good deal more about it) and for her 30th birthday he presented to her Julius Troschel's *La Filatrice Addormentata* (The Sleeping Spinner, who the censored versions of her journals say is "charmingly executed"), which she proudly had placed in the drawing room where she received visitors.
However, of all the 2D his Queen gifted him, Albert declared his favorite was the secret picture that hung in his private study – *Queen Victoria* by Franz Xaver Winterhalter, which she had commissioned for Albert's 24th birthday, in which she is pictured wearing her pendant that contains a lock of his hair. The censored versions of her journal relate his response:
>I cannot say how delighted my beloved Albert was with the Winterhalter picture; the surprise was so great & he thought it so like & so beautifully painted. I felt so happy & so proud to have found something that gave him so much pleasure.
There are lessons here, for those who can hear them.

Alas, the last of Lord Esher's typescripts end on 16 February 1840, a mere six days into the marriage. The final line in the volumes he inspected was
Here ends my twenty-eighth journal book, which contains the most interesting and the happiest time of my life.
and after that we have only the censored copies that Princess Beatrice produced.
The Princess's versions squelch the spirit that so animate the snippets above – no saucy remarks on what was beneath Albert's dress breeches, no excited underlining, no anticipation of being "very very" intimate, no excitement at the prospect of no longer sleeping along, nor even a mention of how Victoria delightedly watched her new prince-consort shave. Even her account of her marriage's consummation on her nuptial evening is edited into her being thankful for how Albert sat near her.
Queen Victoria would go on to have nine children – though she resented the interruption to her newly-minted sex life that the first represented – and when her doctors advised her that her ninth would probably be her last, she is rumored to have said, aghast, words to the effect of "What, no more fun in bed?"
Victoria's private diaries, which by order of the late Queen Elizabeth II were made available online at http://www.queenvictoriasjournals.org in 2012, are an incredibly intimate – albeit mostly censored – look into the daily life of one of history's most powerful monarchs.

A FEW WORDS OF ADVICE
If you quibble on the riddle of some shrimp's descriptive syllables,
Every nibble of your scribbles'll come out limp.
Don't get stressed out – puff your chest out and find new rhymes to test out,
And you'll soon be slapping stanzas like a pimp.
If you sour on how dourly your words convey a happy flower,
And your leaden, laden verses seem to sink,
Don't start caving to the pressure – try some phrasing that seems fresher,
And you'll find it pulls the work back from the brink.
English is a feisty mistress who'll not tolerate the listless,
She likes it better when a poet treats her rough.
So when you stumble, just don't crumble – she's spicing up the tumble,
All while hoping that you'll seize her by the scruff.
Poetry's rules (as taught in schools) will serve to furnish you with tools,
For it's good to be prepared ere you begin.
But don't worship them in awe, for art has just one iron law –
And its haunch and hoof and hump is: Don't give in!

2024-02-25 08:25:44

It'll make sense as long as you stick to the tense you choose.
Narrator reporting past events from the present's perspective uses past tense, so "would" (past tense of "will"; "should" isn't appropriate because it'd parse as uncertainty or a moral judgement in this context): "the twins cried."/"fate would smile upon them" -> "she heard their cries"
Narrator reporting past event's from the past's perspective as they unfold uses present tense, with "shall" to foreshadow ("will" would also work): "the twins cry."/"fate shall smile upon them" -> "she hears their cries"
Does that make sense?

2024-02-25 06:58:18

- reply

I know little of formal analysis, so you'll have to put up with my making up terminology on the spot:
You may have accidentally put yourself in hard mode; each line is bifurcated. That means their halves commit to being part of the poem's form, but I can't presently detect any relationship between them. A reader or listener becomes subconsciously confused when such rhythms don't pay off.
Sometimes, bifurcation occurs when a poet can't quite figure out how to get a single, nice line working and falls back on hiding two shorter lines inside. Be on guard against this.
An experiment: See what happens when you rewrite the second and fourth lines without pauses. Then, see if you can make the first and third lines' halves relate to each other by stress and rhyme.
Tense starts indeterminate, drops into the past, then shifts to an incompatible present-future with "fate shall smile upon them". Two choices:
"the twins cried."/"fate would smile upon them" keeps us firmly in the present while speaking about the past.
"the twins cry."/"fate shall smile upon them" transports us to the past entire.
The meter's off, though without a knowledge of what you're going for I can only suggest you pick one and try to stick to it.

Yes, poetry's in how the words' heft and swing – their stresses, though I've never been able to get the hang of formally mapping them – lock into each other, into their rhyming, and into the poem's overall form. Rely on your tongue over your eyes.

You may need to temporarily explore prescription meth. A small but significant proportion of meth-needers present (usually in their late twenties to mid-thirties) because they think they're developing early-onset dementia. In reality, their lives have begun putting enough stress on their executive function that their ad-hoc coping strategies can no longer keep up.
It has its own set of consequences, but... something to keep in mind.

The horse anus is a marvel of evolutionary biology.
Like most mammals, rhythmic contractions of a horse's bowels move the feces up to the end of the gut to be expelled.
What sets the horse anus apart is the bafflingly complex autonomic contractile motion of 4 muscular rings which function like a spherical guillotine. As the feces is squeezed out, the rings expand the the outermost ring is retracted into an interior skin-fold resembling the human foreskin, leaving an interstitial tissue fold to open air.
The two inner rings then contract, and push apart, severing the horse feces cleanly, allowing it to drop free as the outer ring folds back through the interstitial flap, creating an intrinsic wiping motion with the fourth ring as it contracts back into the horse's rectum.
This advanced biological mechanism is so effective that many industrial companies have copied Nature's design for self-cleaning viscous liquid dispensers housed within complex machinery.

It's plagiarism if a part of the work consists of specific material – expression – that was appropriated and passed off in such a way that a reasonable audience would take it to have been the plagiarist's own work. No passing off, no plagiarism.
If party A appropriates the specific expression embodied in party B's creative work – in this example, some text – and passes it off as their own by not clearly and unambiguously citing it at the time and place the material is used – in this example, during the reading-out of the plagiarized text that accompanies original visuals – then that's plagiarism. (If the plagiarized work is still under copyright protection and was not licensed or otherwise cleared for use, it is also an actionable infringement of the copyright holder's right of reproduction, as well as the original author's moral rights. Adjust for fair use, in jurisdictions where that defense applies, but plagiarism usually acts as a huge strike against it.)
A material's user is usually held to have responsibility for making it clear that the material in question wasn't created by them, which is why various mediums, video included, have well-understood methods for enclosing or otherwise separating quoted/cited material from the rest of a given work.

The way the Japanese playfully experiment with the humble bunny suit is absolutely delightful.
Except the cuffs.
They always fuck up the cuffs.
Everybody alwAYS FUCKS UP THE CUFFS
THE BUNNY SUIT'S CUFFS HAVE A GEOMETRY
THERE ARE RATIOS
A N G L E S
YOU CAN'T JUST SLICE OFF A PAIR OF BASIC BITCH SQUARE FRENCH CUFFS AND CALL IT A DAY
NO
NO!
THE CUFF ACTS AS A DELICIOUS LITTLE WRIST-WRAPPED PETIT FOURS SERVED AT THE TERMINUS OF THE STROLL DOWN THE BARE ARM
BUNNY SUITS FUNDAMENTALLY OPERATE ON A COQUETTISH AND S I M U L T A N E O U S PLAY OF VULGARITY AND REFINEMENT
AND THE JAPANESE GET THIS
IT IS OBVIOUS TO THEM
EXCEPT
FOR THE
FUCKING
CUFF
:AngryGlitch:
AND WHEN THEY DO STUMBLE ON THIS BY DINT OF EXPERIMENTATION
IT'S ALWAYS BY REPLACING THE CUFF ENTIRE
USUALLY TO EXTREMELY PLEASING RESULTS
BUT THE MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR DISCIPLINED USE OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OH
TRAGEDY
MASSACRE
YES I'M MAD
YOU'D BE MAD TOO
YOU SHOULD BE MAD TOO
PASSIONATELY ANGERY ABOUT SOMETHING YOU LOVE
OH IT'S A WONDERFUL GARMENT

Found it – here’s the page from EDGE’s Christmas issue of 2003 (issue 131):
So here we are then, looking smart, clean-shaven and with fresh breath for a date with a Final Fantasy girl… …and YES! Here she is in a very, very short skirt. It’s an adolescent forum-botherer’s dream come true.
Here’s a theory, if you’ll indulge Edge for a moment. When Ms Gainsborough shuffled off her Final Fantasy immortal coil, her passing didn’t pass into videogame legend because of Square’s complex and involving narrative, or any emotional sophistication on the part of the developer. It came down to this plaintive, imaginary cry from an archetypal adolescent gamer: “OMG OMG! Now I will never see her boObs!” Or maybe that was just Edge. Whatever, all bets are off, because now there’s another way to get your Aeris kicks, aside from soft-focus tribute fan art or necrophiliac fan fiction. Final Fantasy Memorial is a Japanese dating game which gives players the opportunity to woo a selection of Final Fantasy girls, including the (presumably - although given this is the internet there are no guarantees - resurrected) darling of VIl. It looks like it offers the same sort of experience as Tokimeki Memorial (hence the title, Edge supposes), so expect to put in countless hours of thankless toil in the pursuit of a single instant of happiness, a lot like chasing dates in real life. Or the Final Fantasy series, for that matter. A coincidence? More information at: http://x.sakura.ne.jp/-yung/f/ffm/
Note the careful line walked, where they don’t say it’s an obscure doujin game (and therefore unlicensed) but also don’t not say it. To us, the sakura.ne.jp link is a dead giveaway but the average game magazine reader of 2003 had no idea.
On its own this would be quite minor, but this was after a big editorial shakeup at the magazine had caused almost all of its existing staff to walk out a few months prior; IIRC, its coverage of Japanese games after this point quickly turned to a steady drumbeat of how bad they were, how Japan’s best days were long behind it, and how terrible it was that they were still making games for people who played games – a classical narrative arc with which you’re doubtless familiar.

Not just websites. One particularly egregious example I remember was Edge magazine – which for a long time was considered the trendiest and most respectable source of games writing – grabbing an obscure FF7 doujin game that had Aerith nude scenes, strongly implying it was something from the Japanese mainstream, and using it to shit on Japanese games in general.
Don't underestimate the bubbling resentment of Japan (encouraged by American publishers) that flowed beneath a lot of Western games writing of the late '90s to 2010s.

“When your children play Pokémon they are actually being tricked into inviting Japanese demons to dwell in them” and “Halloween guising is actually a pagan ritual you’re being tricked into conducting” comes from the same place as “that flag being trimmed in gold means this is actually an admiralty court”.
They spring from a spirituo-legal paradigm in which the world, seen and unseen, runs on ritual words and motions. The words and motions are themselves power by virtue of being calls to some nebulous higher operating system, whether it be Word or Common Law, so saying and doing the right magic things at the right time will save you but being tricked into saying and doing the wrong magic things at the wrong time will damn you.

There are lots of factors, but a big one is the rise and normalization of tipping services like Ko-fi and "creator" subscription services like Patreon/SubscribeStar. With these making it possible to start the e-begging from very small scales (which stop seeming so small once you start to account for exchange rates, see any modern scanlation credits page produced by overconfident ESLs) with little downside, everyone sees others doing it and feels like a sucker if they're the only ones not.
That plus decline of material circumstances, generational exposure to muh hustle culture (which insists that any activity that isn't performatively monetizable is to be purged from one's life), breakdown of the longer/slower/more "intimate" forms of Internet interaction which would provide the feedback and nonmaterial rewards that grows a scene, the list goes on...
