a lostbelt is a fantasy of a world that was pruned away, and a reality marble is an imposition of one’s inner world upon the outer world. in other words, a reality marble is the result of someone’s refusal to accept the world in which their ideal is not possible. morgan exists to sustain britain. it may not be the britain that the world accepts, and it may be merely an imitation built upon a mountain of corpses, but it is still “britain.” even if it is fake, it is “britain.” even if it is fake, it is hers. even if it is fake, and thus not accepted by the world, she will demand that it exist anyways. morgan turns her lostbelt into a lostworld, just as one who possesses a reality marble imposes their ideals upon the world that will not accept them as possible.
as 90% of desktop users have probably found out, today @staff released an update that for some insane reason COMPLETELY remodels the dashboard to replicate twitter's. this is of course in the wake of numerous other thoroughly hated changes and a continued refusal to fix any of the site's actual problems, half of which stem directly from site management.
HOWEVER, thanks to the power of jQuery, i was able to throw together a userscript that remodels the dashboard back to its original look almost perfectly.
here is my dashboard right now, with the script active:
and here is the old dashboard in separate tab container that hasn't received the update:
it's hardly perfect; i had trouble making it force reload to the fixed layout when switching between other pages and the dashboard, and it currently only fixes just the dashboard. it's also completely untested on browsers other than firefox, and chances are it looks a bit screwy on ultrawide monitors. but for now at least, it's a good fix.
the unfucker is a tampermonkey userscript. all you have to do to use it is install the tampermonkey extension, hit "create new script", and replace the default code on the page with the script (link here) and save it.
ALTafter reading lostbelt 6, some of caster artoria's battle lines just feel so different it hurts
her three np selection lines in particular are said in such a way that now it's almost obvious she's concealing her fear, her bitterness, and her frustration.
"it's my fate, after all." -> "but i really really don't want to meet with it"
"what is desired, as desired..." -> "but nobody asked me what i wanted"
"...for what purpose?" -> "why am i doing this? why is this expected of me? what is on the other side of this decision? please, don't make me do this."
her np lines serve to answer all those questions and give meaning to all those doubts.
"i don't want to meet with my fate, but i know nobody else will. it's up to me even if i don't want to do this. nobody else will cradle that star in their hands. i will meet my fate for the sake of that star. everything i do is for the sake of that star. what i want is to never ever betray that star. so if i'm going to do something i absolutely fear and hate to do, i will at least do it being true to nothing except my love for that star."
