Ideal 40k lore

proletkvlt@proletkvlt.bsky.social · 2w ago

40k is bad for a lot of reasons but I maintain that the worst is trying to grimdark-wash the Tau instead of leaving them as funny cartoon aliens, who are basically Normal in direct contrast to the entire rest of the setting. It was a fun dynamic but noooo they're actually EVIL and SCARY now

yuri doesn't just make you human, it makes you very good at math apparently

Gengen Kusano (G.K.): I've been thinking, differentials really are yuri, aren't they.

Rikimaru Mizoguchi (R.M.): Differentials.

G.K.: Differentials, mathematical ones. Let's say we have a function. Like "X = 2Y". If you define one of the values, it defines the other one as well, right? In other words, one of them depends on the other. That's yuri, isn't it. A function is a pairing. You get it, right?

G.K.: A differential represents how f(x) changes with respect to changes of X. When one of the women is going through a change, how does that change her partner — to answer that you need to calculate the derivative of the function.

Iori Miyazawa (I.M.): Yuri can be represented with formulas, you're saying.

G.K.: You can model yuri with a differential equation. What do the function represent — for starters, mental state. Happiness, anger, there is a multitude of dimensions. X and Y, a function of the feelings of them both. A function that expresses what one of them feels when the other one experiences something. Or you can also represent various situations with functions. For example, how does one of them react when the other one calls her. What does one of them do if the other one gives her chocolate on Valentine's Day. Or maybe a probability space.

If one were to become a writer, what would happen to the other one — describing such counterfactual space with functions. In "Weak Yuri" these functions would define the theoretical parameters of the characters. The theoretical model of one of the characters contains mental states, possibilities, and situations that can be expressed with functions, as well as different functions regarding the other character's theoretical model. The relationships between these functions give birth to new functions. That is functional yuri, from my "Weak Yuri" standpoint. In "Strong Yuri", these functions all exist in reality.

yu deng, the winner of the 2026 Fields Medal, the "nobel prize for mathematics", cites yuri manga in particular as helping ground and comfort him during his work

For comfort, Deng turned to manga. “I remember him at Courant. He was always holding a manga,” said Jalal Shatah (opens a new tab), a professor there who formerly chaired the math department. Deng particularly liked stories about deep friendship and romance and found himself drawn to a genre known as yuri, which focuses on those kinds of relationships between women — stories that “feel nice and warm and beautiful,” as he put it. They helped him be kinder to himself, “more comfortable with life.”

The first panel of today's Swan Boy. Noel waits for Crystal outside of a Carrabba's. She looks way better than him as she approaches. I don't like Noel's attitude here.

one of swanboy's greatest traits is that he knows that he's probably just wrong about everything

i'd like to sincerely apologize for missing the mark with the satire in this post. the lack of clarity and purpose has led to it being mistaken for and contributing to that which it intended to criticize. i've since learned how the pyramids were built: very carefully

um, so everyone cheering on egypt in the world cup realizes how the pyramids were built right? but i guess that's a conversation you're not ready to have

I've seen talk before about how Motoko Kusanagi was a lesbian awakening for a lot of people back in the day, and who her modern equivalent would be. Well luckily with the new anime, it's just Motoko Kusanagi again
