#Power Systems Training

[bauhin]

the Liu siblings have no sense of social propriety because of pretty privilege

#liu mingyan #liu qingge #svsss #lqg #scum villian self saving system #think about it though. lqg doesn’t feel the need to act in a socially acceptable way because he has the raw power to dismiss that #lmy (though canonically she’s popular with her peers and isn’t a loner like her simp brother) doesn’t have to be prim and proper #bc she has a lot of soft power in her beauty and she could gut you #like a fish #yknow #so I’m assuming they weren’t raised to really give a shit about all that social propriety #lmy can be polite and stoic from her xianshu peak training. one on one with her brother she is unhinged

Everyone: Pokemon is a family-friendly game for all ages!

Children, reading the Bulbapedia page on Pokemon IVs trying to figure out how they work:

#pokemon #pkmn #outdesign posts things #.gif #hot take but I loved PLA's grit system and wholeheartedly believe it should be applied to the main games #I'm an adult and even I had to watch multiple videos to learn how to train EVs and IVs #'oh there are two completely different stats that affect your pokemon's power. both are hidden from the player. #you have a certain amount of points you can sink into two EV stats but we're not going to actually show you the numbers or anything #you have to use special berries to lower these stats and items to increase the ones you want. and you have to go to an NPC to fix IVs #and none of this is mentioned or explained in the game. lol anyway good luck'

On a different note I need to figure out what my beloved deranged man looks like… and is named

#take very proud lion who’s been popping off of gross systems with his beautiful wife #dunk him in the water realization that everything is fucked and an obsession with the strange maybe divinity that they’ve been fucking with #still loves wife but also has lost ability to talk to her like a normal person #she is now the head of the part of the company that actively controls the Host Program #happy marriage! #I love them #three chapters written and still have no idea what to name the man #his wife is named Grey! #she’s very cool and smart #and has designed a train! #don’t worry about how it’s powered #or how the light posts are either #she’s just a good designer

finally have an actual job so maybe I can stop being a hermit and get officially divorced and feel sort of financially stable and possibly try dating again and get a cat ??? is that allowed? no I probably shouldn't unless I get a bigger place and can have two cats to be friends

downside is when the fuck am I supposed to draw dumb comics if I'm working for hours and hours a day? Hell and suffering on earth. maybe i should get an iPad or a whatthefuck ever and draw on the commute so I don't lose even more of my meager art skills

#personal bullshit #i have never had what is traditionally considered a Real Job #this is my first 8 to 4 type job #tbqh if i could have just done teaching assistant work without the whole grad student shit that would have been cool #but i just couldn't anymore #no one there helped me when i needed it #a super huge fuck you to all of the mandatory training i had to do re: intimate partner violence and abuse #well anyway it's fucking done and who cares if i wasted 8ish years of my only life (: #now i get to help people make babies #which is not at all what i thought i would do #but hey at least it feels meaningful #and i get to wear scrubs all the time which is nice because they're kind of shapeless and make me look slightly more masc esp with binding #wonder if i could donate oocytes #im sure as fuck not gonna use them #might be too old tho #give bad eggs #also might have too much testosterone in my system now #0 idea how that works except at some point they expect me to stop menstruating #but my dumb reproductive parts are too strong too powerful will not be stopped by some pitiful exogenous T #anyway i really need to try to sleep #and stfu #but yeah maybe i can think about moving and getting 2 cats

So... I love everything about you and your amazing work..... but since when does Edix have sisters?? May I have their names? (Please tell me they don't kill anyone) And one more little request..... May I be allowed to give you a bear hug and tell you how much I adore you? Maybe I can transform into a Venandi and then give you the hug. Or would you prefer a nose/chest hug from an overstimulated tiny?

LMAO yeah he's always had sisters, I think I've mentioned them existing a few times years ago in Tumblr asks, but since I haven't worked on the Star Wars Rip Off series since then they've never really come up again.

Their names are Meeli and Dez and they're technically his "older" sisters who always hold that over him (they're triplets, he was born last). Twins and triplets are more common for Venandi compared to humans. He texts them more often than he sees them since his job has him offworld half the time and even when he's home, he lives in the city while they live further out in the countryside near their parents, so it's only big family events he'll bother going all the way out there for.

And no, they don't kill anyone, they're not enlisted in the Unidex services (: Not that they care that their brother does anyways. They keep teasing him more recently because "the baby finally got a baby!!" when he sent them pictures of Jacob

(You also have full permission to hug me as long as it's strong enough to crack my spine at whatever size. You might suffocate if you try to give me a chest hug as a tiny though, be warned <3)

#ask #a-little-powerful-witch #oc edix #edix: i am a doctor. i am a trained soldier. i have seen solar systems that cant be described. #dez: big words for a baby thats 10 minutes younger than me 💅

For today’s 3:30 am Honkai rewrite pitch: the Honkai

It’s just an energy created by the friction between the imaginary tree and the sea of quanta

It’s not exactly sentient, but it collect memories from everyone who is infected by it and store them in the cocoon of finality

Because the people who are infected by the Honkai tend to be those who can’t avoid contaminated area (ex: poor areas like sundown alley, or any area where their was an unexpected eruption) or people who were intentionally experimented on, and the infection itself tends to make the victim pretty ill, a lot of the memories in the cocoon of finality are pretty awful

Any sentient being who’s infected by the Honkai gets their brain connected to the cocoon of finality as sort of a collective consciousness

It’s sorta alive but not (like the Promare)

Part of the reason Honkai infected tend to be violent is cuz their brains are hooked up to billions of other people’s traumatic memories, causing them to lash out in fear

Instead of having a complete brain override, Herrschers are more like the host’s original personality+ the collective consciousness, but there is some variation

Early Herrschers are less influenced by the cocoon given that their just aren’t any memories in it yet (hence why Elysia and Joyce more or less got to be their own people)

Later Herrschers can overcome the cocoons influence if they have some sort of strong attachment keeping them grounded

Herrschers that are isolated for too long may completely loose the hosts personality and become just an extra powerful Honkai beast

In the PE, the cocoon of finality existed inside a person (Kalpas) like any other Honkai core, but Mobius removed it and Dr. MEI sealed it inside Prometheus in hopes it would end the Herrscher cycle and stop finality from appearing spoiler: it didn’t work

Idk man, I’m just trying to recenter the power system so love genuinely is the answer to saving everyone

#honkai impact #Honkai rewrite #rewrite #every time I describe Mobius doing something in the same sentence as Dr. MEI I feel like I should specify: I adore Mobius #but ya- power of love and friendship can be a genuine solution if that’s how you set up the conflict #honestly I’m surprised hoyo didn’t connect the power system to emotions in lore #it’s just a convenient way to handle power growth in more emotionally driven stories where you don’t want to spend a lot of time on training #like the three best examples I can think of this off the top of my head are hunter x Hunter jjba and Madoka Magic’s #because I am legally obligated to talk about Madoka Magica (yes autocorrect. that is how I want to spell it) every time I do a Honkai rewrit #Hunter x Hunter is more of a hybrid model #where like ya- nen is deeply connected to the person and their personality #but also you gotta do classic training and studying #in jjba the powers are straight up manifestations of the souls where character growth = more powers #and in Madoka the powers are manifestations of the girls hopes #I just think it’s a good way to justify power growth and bombastic fights in series that are more character centric #my Honkai rewrites always feel less like rewrites and more like reorganizing to me #the pieces are there they just need a new filing cabinet

these are two separate images BUT. gnomies is having a great time in red markets! (she got shot by a friend @/cino-checker) (and bit)

#red markets #ttrpg #oc tag #isabelle #isa #others ocs #okay i really gotta figure out a tagging system but not today satan. not today #so right so SO this is technically just the prologue to the season and we were all meant to make throwaway characters #but i got attached. I GOT ATTACHED. so sue me #jordan made her story very strong very powerful #james bond ass father spoiled rich girl growing into a hard jaded professional #mmm yummy i love angst #also so if she is infected (don't know yet #it was a cold bite) #she's done for bUUUUT #she could still be immune #i love the idea of having two tough spots #we started right in a red zone but it's cool. it's cool #we're gonna move #our enclave is a train bitchessss mobility is key. #once we can get the parts to get it moving anyway #anyway every interaction with michael hurts her #it's >:)

ok. sometimes I just want to listen to people talk abt star wars but the youtube results are all men and I refuse to do that to myself. found myself on a reddit thread of good sw youtube accounts/podcasts and it's like....for one dollar name a woman:/

#CRINGE or whatever #but like i am thinking abt themes of fate and agency and the way they change across series and how certacertain characters exist outside #the narrative etc and i just wanna talk abt rebels and how its such a fantastic follow up to tcw/the prequels in terms of its core cast and #the fact that their only commonality is that they chose to be a part of the rebellion as opposed to the characters of tcw that are stuck in #this perpetual loop of following orders and uplifting those in power & feeling as though everything in their lives are destined meanwhile #there were so many opportunities to stop the end destiny (if u will) of the prequels if only they werent so blind etc but at the same time #you have characters like maul and ahsoka who exist outside of these power structures (one by choice and the other not) and when it comes #time to change anakins fate together ahsoka cant do it bc shes refuses to see the truth #and then this is directly paralleled at the end of rebels s2 where it takes kanan being literally blinded for him to see ezras pull to the #dark side bc until then kanan (the last remaining jedi) still clings to the beliefs and structures that raised him. he cant see/understand #ezra bc he refuses to view the world outside of the lens of his jedi training he has to be blinded to see the world around him in a new way #ofc this is all happening while ahsoka and anakin meet again and we see what could have happened had kanan failed to change #idk something something the illusion of choice under capatalism & 2 party systems leading to facism #something something rebellion/change comes from the ability to question authority and find individual purpose #noooo idea where im going with this shit at the end i promise i understand facism #see this is why i need to listen to other people talk abt it i am just spewing nonsense in my tumblr tags!!!!

[soupforstars]

I find it genuinely hilarious how many signs there were pointing to us being a system from ages ago... As the host whos been here the longest I'm surprised I didn't look into it sooner, like I SERIOUSLY wondered on MORE THAN TWO SEPERATE OCCASIONS as a teen whether I had DID, but brushed it off both times because I thought "oh I'm not traumatised enough" and "you have to experience blackouts and time jumps and I haven't so I can't" (spoiler alert, I definitely was incredibly traumatised and I definitley have had blackouts before but even then I didn't know that those weren't fully necessary for a diagnosis).

And this is without getting into "my" love of any media that involved characters with alter egos, "multiple personalities", etc. Like I LOVED the Jekyll and Hyde musical when I found it, my favourite Total Drama character was Mike (the one with DID but like. when people still knew it as MPD. also he wasnt the best rep lol), I loved the Markiplier and Jacksepticeye egos, for a short time I was into Sander Sides, I had full on "characters" that were "aspects of my personality" but also next to them was just. My actual sona? Completely seperate from them, which actually represented me?

I just really thought I liked media with alternate egos/personalities but methinks the call was coming from inside the house sdjshsnsjsbdjdb

#talking tag #🌒 tag #any other systems have that kind of experience?? #mostly adressing traumagenic systems soz endos i just have no idea how you all work /lh #i only realised it this year thanks to anti's help and even then we were bamboozled lmfao #uhhh idk how to tag this and im scared to tag too much svdbsbsb #did system #osdd system #dissociative identity disorder #otherwise specified dissociative disorder #i hesitate to use the tags 'actually did' cus even tho we're medically reconised we're still technically not diagnosed and- #-i really do feel that sweet sweet (/s) imposter syndrome + host denial kicking in #brain is silly ;w; #wishing i could be like anti and just not have anxiety #its crazy. i can feel how much less anxious he is when hes fronting and how easy it is for him to brush off anxious thoughts like #if he wasnt constantly in a state of mild sensory overload all the time i think he'd be too powerful /hj #i feel bad for him tho :c he loves fronting but its sensory hell for him #not to mention he has really bad heat tolerance which is ok for now while its winter in aus but we dont have an aircon so- #-when it becomes summer hes praying we get out of emergency housing by then so he doesnt have to suffer all day in the heat #sjdbsjbdbd adhd train of thought go off i guess

AUSTIN (overlapping): Also do we really like Orth?

why would he say this.yes we do

#though like if im honest when i was first listening i truly did not care much about orth at all at this point in time #only on this relisten its like. oh were learning fun details about him searching his office. oh hes lying about THIS i see. #here he is doing his job in the faction game like im just delighted whenever hes mentioned #literally jacks power (the kingdom game. im so excited for the kingdom game.) #counterweightposting #what an unweildy tag. well its better than nothing #this episode was mostly combat (next to train tracks) and it is. not very enganging #possibly just the direct comparison to pal23 (which i got halfway thru before pausing! fun stuff). but not entirely #im pretty sure this is where it was like. yeah this system isnt really working for them

[mistninja]

When i hate on chade its based and correct when others hate on chade they are cringe and have no reading comprehension skills

#he SUCKS but acting like hes the worst person in fitz's life is so stupid #like how can you not see that hes a victim of the system and he had even less support than fitz he never had other options!!! #AND he says that he himself didnt even know what he was training for #like the whole thing is that chade is both replicating what was done to him on fitz AND trying to do better by him #like after fitz mentions wanting to know the world and that he likes the town. chade shoots him down about leaving buckeep but starts #giving him excuses to go to town!! #which yeah low ass bar but he tries within the limits of his power #also everyone would do well to remember chade has been. living in the walls. for decades

#hhhhh tomorrow i have to drive to another uni to build a chamber #this morning i drove like 11min down the road and that was enough to dislodge me halfway outside my body #i just. hate driving so much. its so fucking stressful #and im also worried the chamber isnt gonna come together with what we have #and i dont wanna drive down there again #oh god. i need to chill out so i can sleep tonight #it just stresses me out so much. anytime i have to drive i just become absolutely certain that im gonna get into an accident #or that ill get distracted and cause a crash #why cant we have a working train system in this fucking country. i wanna go back to the uk. where its more manageable to not have a car #when i think abt driving my brain just sends me images of destruction #i also get it to a lesser extent when im a passenger #like i have to sit exactly as ur supposed to in a seat or else i just get horrible imaginings of my limbs being crushed or whatever #god. i just hate it so much. i have a fragile mind. i was not constructed with the mental fortitude to drive #at least i dont get so many intrusive thoughts abt like flipping rhe steering wheel anymore. bc that sucked #hopefully i dont show up in tears but usually i cry at least once when i have to drive someone #so im gonna look unhinged when i drop off all the equipment. whatever ill wear sunglasses #how is it possible some ppl enjoy driving? i dont understand. i dont want that kind of power in my hands #i dont trust myself not to get someone killed. like that's prob my ultimate fear. getting in a crash caused by my brain not being able to #focus and then i kill a happy family of 5 or something and i just have to live with it #it just makes me so upset. which is why ive been avoiding this for literally months. #ugh. whatever i have to do it. and then itll be over. as my mum would say: itll b good for me #i just have to freak out abt it for a while #unrelated

[consciouschunkofmoss]

been talking to myself for a whole hour while washing the dishes about inquisitor stakh and honestly i think thats pretty hot of me<3

#literally though i think thats such a cool concept #idk how to elaborate in small words #but just #the whole deal about him heing stripped from all the physical things that tie him to the town #and being sent to be trained by the powers that be. leaving his friends and his own town behind #him being so easily manipulated yet so angry at the very system that molds him #how useless he would find himself to be upon reencountering the plague without isidors teachings #even through all that has been passed down and taught to him by the powers that be #the dawning realization that he was sent to the very place he was born in to meet an unfathomably cruel fate #being so sturbborn and jealous he would proudly let be molded by an outside force #aching to show his own past self. childhood friends and very town how he has grown to be knowledgeable and worthy of praise #because oh boy does he crave it #seeing burakh after such a long time #seeing that through artemys actions he in fact was never actually going to be enough to heal the town back into its state of tranquility #he was never meant to heal this town #because the all the knowledge to be cultivated about it through isidor was now lost to time after his death #all the power that is sacred and necessary to saving his hometown was never really in his hands #being ripped so early from the core of his own development as a citizen of the town made him useless in a such desperately native situation #not being able to take attention and pride if not coupled with jealous #hoping so dearly to prove all the people he loves wrong #yearning for attention and the proud eyes of his friends that would gaze upon him once returning triumphantly as their only savior #not handleing the fact that he was never going to be one #not to lara. not to artemy. not to bad grief. and much less isidor (who he had not the chance to meet and much less learn from properly) #having to see artemy as struggling as one can scramble through his problems and come out of it all alive #having to gaze upon such a man that also abandoned the town and his steppe pratices yet still was so readily accepted by the town #the jealous of giving up agency over his life. his emotions. only to be better than others and still be rendered utterly useless #jealousy** #finding that lara is far worse than when he had parted #(as described in pathologic 2 they seemed to be quite close. thus theorizing that her depression be lessened by his presence) #being made so impersonal to his own roots to such a degree that the conflict stirring within his chest about the system only grows larger

*confused pterodactyl noise*

i thought the idea of automatic emergency brakes on trains was just. standard?

as in, if you switch off the train, the brakes engage automatically. you need to actively, constantly stop the brakes from engaging in order to move the train? so that it's near impossible to accidentally disengage the brakes? (and so it becomes possible to remotely brake a train by short-circuiting a previously designated part of the tracks?)

#a grievance against society #i'm watching those fascinating horror videos #and there was one about a train disaster #where shutting off the locomotive engines for firefighting purposes #cut power to the brakes which left the train rolling downhill #and gaining significant speed #and there was so much about safety training and proper brake testing #and regulations for the transport of flammable material #and i just. that is all well and good #but there are brake systems #specifically developed to accomodate the possibility #of human beings making mistakes while in stressful or exhausting situations #but absolutely no mention was made of this?

Capitalism will suck the compassion out of even the kindest people

#my post #this applies to many things but my sister's new boss is what inspired it #she's apparently a kind and friendly lady but she tried to get my sister to sign teb wildest fucking contract #like uf she quit she wouldn't be able to work in that industry in a certain radius(including our whole city and a few others) #and no pay discussion (which isn't even necessary b/c they all get paid VERY well. $30 an hour is the start after training #and just other buckwild shit. my sister did not sign the contract #but the nice lady apparently becomes a control freak at perceived business threats despite doing well atm #and it's not like physical therapy jobs r shrinking in a state known for retirement #this also applies to shit like small landlords #people can be very kind but become suspicious at perceived slights yo their capitol #*capital #like these are people who will stop and help strangers and give freely in their down time #but when work and pay is involved mixed with a power imbalance... #idk. it's just. this system corrupts good people through propaganda and suspicion #and I admire those who refuse to fall. I also admire those who worked against that notion and became kind #feel free to add to this or list ur own examples/experience #but by god do not go in my notes defending this behavior. it's unkind and inhumane #not everyone is trying to pull one over on you and mistreating others out of fear is unjustifiable #especially when in a position of power. especially when livlihoods are at stake.
