[a-master-procrastinator]

So, I have a headcanon regarding Outlander and Valkorion

Spoiler territory for pretty much the whole game (mostly Jedi Knight and Sith Warrior class stories and all expansions from Shadows of Revan).

How does Outlander (especially non Force user) defeat Valkorion in KotET? This question bothered me (and I'm sure all of you) for quite some time. And frankly, the game doesn't answer it very well. So I did some thinking, searching and theorizing, and found a solution that I will bring in my personal stories. Just thought it would be interesting for others to see as well.

Explanations offered in the game:

Valkorion's power had become weaker at some point (as noted by Arcann in chapter 8 "Taking Flight", and indicated by events on Ziost, since Theron wasn't possessed, and by Valkorion in chapter 9 "Eternal Throne", when he said that he needed Vaylin's power to destroy Outlander's mind);

Arcann and Vaylin helped defeat him;

The holocron was the instrument of Valkorion's defeat (but it's never properly explained how exactly);

The "kneel before the dragon of Zakuul" phrase worked on Valkorion because the Outlander said so.

It doesn't sound too bad, but when I tried to go into details, it didn't make much sense. "My mind, my rules" was really out of nowhere, also kinda goes against the previous experience of Outlander not being able to do anything about Valkorion before that. And Arcann and Vaylin being on your side isn't the key either because even the three of them were still losing, it only changed after the main character said the key phrase. And why the heck does it even work like that? Because they said so? Gee, should've thought about it a few chapters before, no?

Now, what I came up with doesn't really go much different from that, I just made some adjustments to make it flow better (at least for myself). I'll talk through my thoughts in chronological order, so bear with me (I tried to summarize it at the end, so scroll if you want the short version).

Vitiate learned to transfer his spirit as one of the ways to be immortal. It can happen either through a ritual, which is preferable since it's easier, doesn't weaken him, and he doesn't need time to adjust, but it does require consent from a person, or killing the previous host, which does weaken him for some time. The longer he has possessed a host, the greater the loss of power will be upon the transfer. It's not to say that he isn't dangerous, quite the opposite, but perhaps he can't do some 'impossible' things (like consume a planet or shatter a mind) just like that.

He was at his full power before the events on Belsavis and Voss, timeline wise. Remember how easily he possessed the minds of the Jedi on the strike team? Yeah, Jedi Knight broke free, but that's bc they're super strong (and the main character in their storyline).

But because of Baras Vitiate had to be released from the body on Voss by being killed, which made him slightly weaker, just enough for the Hero of Tython to kill him again on Dromund Kaas. That made him lose more power (because he possessed this body for much longer than that Voss), and Vitiate tried to find a new host and regain his power (either by Revan reviving him or consuming all life on Ziost). His attempts were not successful, so he retreated to Zakuul.

That would explain why after being 'killed' yet again on Zakuul (thus losing two of his main hosts) Valkorion wasn't powerful enough to possess the Outlander's mind (regardless of their class). He was in a pretty vulnerable position, so he came up with a plan. We'll get to it. For now, Valkorion understands that if the Outlander dies, he'll be even weaker and probably won't be able to get a new host, so he protects the Outlander while pushing them to use his power.

Every time the Outlander agrees to do so gives Valkorion more control over their body, and even if they never agree, the bond grows stronger as time passes, it's just faster when Outlander uses his power. Eventually it would be just strong enough for Valkorion to use the main character's body without their permission (like in chapter 16). But he's still not powerful enough to break their mind, so he goes to the next part of the plan.

Valkorion manipulated the main character into killing Vaylin (and Arcann, if applicable) because he needed to consume her power to destroy Outlander's mind (which is what happens in chapter 9). But he made a couple mistakes in doing so. First, he underestimated how smart Commander is, and how the bond allowed them to take his form to survive. Second, by consuming Vaylin's spirit, Valkorion gained not just her strength, but also her weakness, which is the conditioning.

But wait, didn't Vaylin free herself from it? Sort of. I saw a suggestion from another player that Vaylin didn't get rid of conditioning itself, but rather the lever that triggers it. It's possible because the process on Nathema didn't exactly according to the plan. And because of that, Valkorion also gained her conditioning after consuming her spirit.

So, what does that mean? What does it do? Well, I think that when the key phrase is said in presence of Vaylin, she temporarily loses her connection to the Force (or it becomes so weak that she can't use it), thus isn't a threat. And the same happens to Valkorion when the main character attempts to use it on him in KotET chapter 9, at least for long enough for the Outlander to kill him. This way the victory isn't dependent on one's power in the Force, and it fits a non Force sensitive Commander as well.

What about the holocron? I explain this as it only binds, commands and releases spirits, as we see with lord Dramath. It's not the key to Valkorion's destruction, but it is still important because it is used to free Vaylin's spirit from Valkorion after her death (and Arcann's, if applicable), which gives Outlander a potential powerful ally.

[Just a little addition that has very little to do with my explanation, but wanted to mention - in the throne room, when Valkorion breaks Outlander's mind, he takes over the body and attacks your companions. They hold off long enough for Commander to put their mind back, and at that moment Valky loses control, and the body is unconscious.]

So, to sum it up:

Valkorion is weaker after being killed on Voss, Dromund Kaas and Zakuul, hence why the Outlander can resist him, regardless of theirconnection to the Force;

the holocron found on Nathema can bind, command and release spirits, which allows Outlander to free Vaylin (and Arcann, if applicable) from Valkorion;

the bond formed between Valkorion and Commander allowed the latter to survive after having their mind destroyed;

Vaylin didn't completely get rid of the conditioning on Nathema because the process didn't go as it should've, it just removed the trigger;

by consuming Vaylin's spirit Valkorion gained both her strength and her weakness - her conditioning, that's why it worked on him, and it temporarily weakened his connection to the Force.

I know this isn't perfect, there are probably plot holes that I haven't noticed or poorly explained, but I like it much more. Why do I even bother with this explanation?

I just love doing mental gymnastics around KotFE-ET, and this particular part was difficult yet entertaining to figure out.

But honestly, probably most important reason is that it works for every class (so even non Force-users are fitting here) because strength in the Force is not the key. Valkorion underestimated how observant and clever Outlander is, and I think it works better for their characters.

honestly i hadn’t planned to have her baby daddy in the picture at all but the angst potential here… too tempting to pass up

PART 1 • PART 2

tags: simon x reader x johnny. darkfic. dirtbags. verbal abuse (not by ghost or soap). pregnant fem!reader who still hasn’t realised she’s being actively abducted.

It takes a bit to convince you to let them drive you home.

Your resistance is met with a paradoxical reaction by both men. On the one hand, there’s a warm comfort at the knowledge that you aren’t so easy to take advantage of. Even in your distraught state, you push back against every solution they propose. It is quite a detour, I’d hate to inconvenience you or I’m sure I can get a friend to come out instead. You’re wary, though your exhaustion sways you to assume the best of them, which means that you aren’t quite at the point of flat out refusal.

Otherwise, they – Simon, in particular – simmer in frustration. Red wine in a saucepan, reduced to a stronger version of itself over flame. Bitter. Strong. More insistent: cannae rest easy tonicht knowing we left an expecting hen tae fend fur herself. They poke at the knot until they find a loosening, tugging, tugging, then abandoning it once a more promising end appears.

Eventually, their combined efforts (though most of the credit can be attributed to the sincere, puppy dog look Johnny sports at all times. Hard to resist, even for Simon) dismantle your willpower. You duck your head in a modest thank you and shuffle behind them, seating yourself firmly behind the drivers seat even though you’re offered shotgun, hugging your bag over your belly.

“Do you need me to type in the address on google maps or something?” You say after they pull out of the parking lot.

“Y’were on about Adderford.” Simon meets your wide eyes in the rearview.

“Yeah.”

“Reckon I know the road.”

Simon does know the way, and so does Johnny. Adderford, off of exit A36. Near a polluted lake that was the victim of an attempt to turn the town into an industrial hub. Nothing to show for that, of course – all it has to offer now is a poor quality of life for all those who weren’t fortunate enough to get out.

Yeah. They know the way, and their confidence must set a precedent for the trip. Your anxious fidgeting stops after 10 minutes of driving, and you’re smiling at the nonsensical story coming from the passengers seat a mere 5 minutes later. In the meanwhile, your rationalisation is visible. Simon watches your gaze flicker back and forth between them, then around the car that must feel luxurious next to yours. If they wanted to do something bad to you, then they would’ve already done so. Besides, what kind of delinquents drive a wrangler?

30 minutes in, you’re fast asleep.

They really couldn’t have asked for a better turn of events.

They come up on exit A36 and stick to the middle lane, passing the little sign that points to Adderford being a couple miles out. Past the point of no return, beelining towards the secluded house they’ve made your new home, and you can be none the wiser. Johnny can’t believe their luck, babbling in a hushed voice about how nice it’ll when you to wake up in their bed.

The fantasy loses its grip when your phone rings, blaring from deep within your bag. Panic ripples across your face, jolting you from your sleep as you scramble for the device. The series of events unfolds in far too familiar a way for one of them. Simon – a buried torment wringing around his guts as he listens in.

“H-Hello? Shit. What–” You’re breathless, stuttering. Back to that scared little thing they found by her car, crying. “Please- please calm down.”

And though you try to keep your voice low, they leech on to every word you say. Someone on the other line yells, indistinct insults punching through the mic and landing. You wilt, tucking your lip underneath two teeth, waiting the anger out.

(Tommy donned the same expression those nights when things got bad. Simon remembers hugging him against his chest so he wouldn’t have to face the misery his brother’s countenance wrought.)

“You shouldn’t- I’m sorry, but I thought I c-changed the locks. You’re not allowed to be in… not in my apartment.” More yelling. Soap twists a fist, concoting a hundred different ways he can track whoever it is down. Make them pay for their abuse with their own tongue down their throat. “It’s none of your business- you left…”

“Easy.” Simon whispers to his partner.

“Si.”

“I know, boy.” Perhaps all too well. It gets harder to keep a firm steer over the wheel.

“Don’t accuse me of– my fucking car broke down! You shouldn’t even– fuck! Hello? Hello?” A low scream tears from your throat, prelude to the aggressive shoving of your phone down into back your bag. Trembling fingers press down over your eyes, rubbing until your tears soak into your skin. Ridding of the evidence to your dismay. You suck in large gulps of air, holding them in your chest until it aches, then gasp out equally hefty exhales.

No one speaks for a while. Then–

“I don’t think I should go home right now.”

Too broken for them to feel anything but overwhelming pity. Johnny clicks his tongue, looking over his shoulder so you can latch on to the sincerity that seems to calms you so.

“O’course. Whatever ye need, lass.”

Your frown softens “There’s a motel–”

“Next one’s farther ou’ than our place is. Can’t take you there and back m’fraid.” Simon interjects. Like a record scratch, or sandpaper on an already raw moment. It must make him an awful man to use your earlier propriety against you, but conviction has superseded his desire to act decently.

Sure enough, you visibly blanch, shaking your head and stumbling over your words.

“No! No, of course not. Of course- that was so silly of me to ask. You can, I mean… you can drop me off anywhere, really. I’ll sort t-things out for myself.”

“Not what I meant, pet.”

You don’t catch on. He doesn’t repeat.

Johnny bridges the gap.

“We’ve got a spare bedroom.”

Okay guys, it's time for me to comment on the appearance of the characters from the Avatar the last airbender series from Netflix😂

These two look brutal, I think they are very powerful and good looking 🔥

I love how good the picture quality is honestly the general Zhao looks good✨️

Let's be honest Azula looks too cute to think she can kill you, I like that ⚡️

Why does Sokka look like he'd rather beat you up than crack a joke and make you laugh 😂

I'll just say that I'm delighted by how beautiful Katara looks. She's unbelievably sweet.😍

I honestly expected this look from Aang. Let's not forget that he is still 12 years old. And now that we see his version in real life it's really that Kaatang won't happen because it would be too embarrassing for everyone.

(We're cheering for Zutara❤️‍🔥)

It's not bad, but I'm not going to lie to you, I'm not really happy with the appearance of Zuko. Very brave of them to put his first hairstyle, I hope in the series his hair will grow and he will look better.

But you all have to agree that the low-budget series could have done the scar look a lot better. Because this looks like that angry Sokka punched him in the face and left him with a bruise😂 .

I know no one is asking me but I wanted to see the identical Zuko in the series, as well as in front of my door but okay we won't talk about that 😂

PAC (Gif) Tarot Reading :

🔮 Your Connection With Your Specific Person 🔮

This reading includes what you both currently are in your connection, your challenges, & your unifying force.

Take a moment to ask yourself & sense which gif calls out to you. If more than one does, there are multiple messages for you. If one calls out to you instantly/significantly more, then this message is specifically meant for you & will resonate the most.

Piles are 1-4 & are in order.

💖 I offer a more detailed & accurate version of this Connection spread for $20. The rest of my services are pinned & start at $5. You get a FREE one question reading & reiki session when you follow & reblog my pinned post 👇. 💖

Pile One :

My abilities have been getting stronger & as a consequence, this message is a bit longer than my usual pick-a-card readings. If long formats aren't your thing, feel free to skim or take a look at my other PACs!

There's been something or someone trying to get in-between you two to disrupt your union. This attempt hasn't truly been successful. This 3rd party is in the picture but not in a union with your SP. You & your SP are truly in a union energy. You truly know eachother, are connected, & share a bond.

This 3rd party may have been a sex addiction, porn addiction, or some kind of fling. I'm not really getting cheating/betrayal vibes. The energy is more fitting of a situation where you've been dating someone & they haven't been forthcoming that they're dating/hooking up with others. If this is the case, it doesn't have anything to do with a lack of interest in you - it stems from insecurity and consequently an urge to have a back up plan.

This union may be triggering other unhealthy traits/traumas because of how scared they are of the amount of interest they have in you. They haven't been the type of person to put their all into someone for fear of getting hurt. But now that they've met you, for the 1st time or the 1st time in a while, they actually want to overcome these challenges for you & them. This is why they've been acting up/their behavior has changed.

For a significant amount of you, your SP literally has commitment issues. This has become apparent due to you either waiting to get engaged or them getting cold feet after your engagement.

There may be back & forth, hot & cold, in & out energy. Alot of you have an on & off again relationship with them. They have an avoidant attachment type.

I'm seeing someone who's had a difficult life & isn't well off financially as a consequence. I'm seeing someone with a low quality car being frustrated because they don't have enough gas money.

Criticism of self & others are a main theme with them. Try not to take it personally as best you can. They only do this because they don't have much hope for their life/relationships. They have a tendency to keep people at arm's length in general. It's for self-protection as they've had several experiences that have told them it's abundantly necessary.

With that being said, just because you shouldn't take it personally doesn't mean you should just deal with it. Your challenge is to love yourself first & set boundaries.

I feel like you're afraid that if you do that, that will only motivate them to distance themselves further. That may or may not be the case. That wouldn't be your fault. At all. Dont allow others to blame you for their own shortcomings.

There's still hope for this connection because, as I said, they're actually motivated to better themself for you. Despite them being a little embarrassed & not too forthcoming about how passionate & excited they are about you. You're not like anyone they've met before.

Weird note: I saw the letter "P" in this reading as a synchronicity a handful of times. Maybe you or them have a name that starts with P? Maybe their "PP" is a main theme in your connection? 😂

You've been seeking knowledge about this connection. Someone/something (article, youtube vids, this very reading, etc.) has been mentoring you. I'm seeing that someone(s) doesn't approve of your SP & are urging you to dump their ass for good.

I can't say I blame them too much because for some of you they don't treat you very well. They aren't as they appear to be & these people don't know them like you do. You're a little lost & in the dark about this situation. It's recommended you start thinking for yourself.

You have some learning & growth to do, especially in the mental, logic, & communication realm.

You both have 7 of Swords in your Unifying Force so I'm seeing that because of their lack of transparency with their feelings & what they're going through (even outright lying for some), you've been motivated to do the same. You've been looking at tarot readings hoping to find the answer instead of going to the direct source.

I'm seeing that you should find a balance with this. Check in with your own intuition to see if they're telling the truth & only *consider* others' opinions. Open your heart & feelings to them to potentially inspire them to do the same. Make an attempt to end the cycle. Initiate a heart-to-heart conversation.

You both want to take this relationship to the next level & are motivated to overcome these challenges in order to do so. The question is how much are you both willing to sacrifice & do you have enough knowledge/experience in order to have a healthy relationship. You may have to have more individual experiences first. You may not reunite at all, which is ok. What's meant to be is. And everything is for your highest interest, regardless of if you're currently aware of that or not.

For most of you, you've been given the "Very Soon" card so as long as you get your mind clear, it's very likely to inspire them to do the same. There's a high possibility of a reunion coming soon.

Pile Two :

There's no current equal give & take in this connection. Your focus is too outside yourself & their focus is too inside themself.

They've disconnected from you while you're still trying to force the connection, whether energetically or through action. For alot of you I'm seeing the type of energy where you're double texting despite them not responding the first time. You may actually be doing this, have sent a flurry of uninvited texts, & have sent angry ones.

Life goes on & it has to change one way or the other. I'm seeing there's a *major* change in this connection. Like, you're starting a whole new life with them. It won't be *smooth* sailing, as your SP has some turbulence to deal with, but you will indeed be making this huge transition. I'm actually seeing air travel so perhaps you'll be going on a vacation/road trip to several locations or moving far away.

You're holding on too tightly to this connection, for fear that it'll slip away if you don't. Focus on other areas of your life & know that you're abundant regardless. Make a conscious effort to take note of all the things you do have & be grateful for it. Accept what you can't change & change what you can. You'll be feeling alot lighter, grounded, calm, stable, & satisfied when you do.

When you focus more on yourself & find what brings you joy, this more aligned state of being attracts more of your desires in your highest interest.

Your SP desires the childlike playfulness & passion you've shared. They're currently struggling with inaction because they're overcompensating for the times they've not set boundaries with others.

They're currently mistaking self-love for over-protection & needless isolation. Be patient with this process as they're still learning. Respect their boundaries. Pushing them & trying to force things only makes their wall higher & stronger.

It reinforces their belief & you're giving them every right to. So, honestly, most of them aren't mistaking self-love for over-protection at all. You've had within you the ability to establish a respectful, equal give & take relationship more so than their past encounters. But by trying to force them out of their shell, you've forced their hand in not only maintaining their boundaries but enforcing them & making them more firm as well.

They need you to be calm & patient. Once you've given them the space they need, you've become more established in life & independent, & they've gained stability & clarity over this situation, they'll be coming towards you faster than you expected.

Trust in this process & allow yourself & them to heal. Specifically, both of your childhood traumas, past events, & inner children. Allow your inner child to come out & play. Life isn't as scary as it can seem.

Pile Three :

Your SP is some type of buisness partner. Whether that be a co-founder, boss, coworker, etc. For alot of you, they held a higher position of power than you in some sense. You may have just met at work. They may have just been too bossy & controlling. Refarding sexual dynamics, they were dominant.

Although they appeared to be more adult-like than you, you're being reminded that we all started as innocent children & still carry that innocence inside of us.

Your criticisms of this person were born from your ego's programming to defend itself. You got hurt & as a consequence your perception of them shifted in a way that motivated you to avoid/be wary of them. This is a false reality. Yes, you discovered flaws they have. But that doesn't change who they are at their core. They're still that person that attracted you to them.

You're being encouraged to view people almost as if they were children. We're all unconditionally loved children of the Universe - learning, growing, & experiencing. Learn from the mistakes that have happened & work to grow from them with your SP.

I'm also seeing codependency. Perhaps you lived with them rent-free/relied on them for resources & as your source of happiness & love. You're being encouraged to be more independent materially & regarding your relationship dynamics.

We all carry an inner child but we also have to grow along side it. Take care of yourself. We're the ones we're alone with at the end of the day. Make your inner experience enjoyable so you can enjoy your own company. Keep this balanced & allow support along this healing process.

You're currently too thought-based & in your head. Open your heart, let your emotions flow, & let your inner child out to have fun!

For some of you, your SP is from your past in this current lifetime. For most of you, your SP is in a karmic cycle with you. You've lived more lifetimes than this one with them. You're tied together in order to resolve this conflict.

They're waiting for you while you're living in the past & being resistant to change & the flow of life. Your advice is to move forward with what you've learned & to leave the burdens & pain behind.

Both of you wish for clarity, communication, & new ways of communicating. I feel that they were the one who hurt you. The clarity you're after is where this behavior came from, whether or not they can be trusted, & if this connection is salvageable. You both desire to work on your relationship & you're mostly the one wondering if that's even possible.

The clarity they're after is when, how, & whether or not to approach you. They know they hurt you & messed things up. They don't want to hurt & anger you further by reaching out when you're the one who ended things for good reason. But they very much want to express their feelings & desire to move on with you.

Another struggle they have is not really understanding where their & your behavior came from & why. They're internalizing it instead of taking a step back & looking at things objectively. I see that they're taking your exit as a personal rejection rather than what it was ; you protecting & respecting yourself.

They're also interpreting their behavior inaccurately. They don't truly feel that they're a bad person but it's like they feel that's the only conclusion they can come to regarding their behavior.

I feel that this very reaction is what they needed to work on. This situation happened to bring your traumas to light. To be forced to be face-to-face with them & work through them. Your SP is rejection sensitive, insecure, & takes things personally.

If you want to work through this relationship, you may have to be the one who makes the first move. Take your time & only do so if/when you feel called to.

Pile Four

What I'm noticing right away is weariness & questioning if the work you've put in this connection will produce the results you're after. If this connection were a seed, the soil you're planting it in is fertile. Gather your strength & perserverance to cross the finish line you're almost at. Take note of what you've accomplished so far.

You've gone through a spiritual awakening that has caused you to change your direction in this connection. I feel that your SP is manifesting you at a more physical/practical sense & you're manifesting them more with energy & spiritual practices.

Although you're both experiencing this strong desire to be with eachother, your SP isn't as in tune with their intuition. They have conflicting thoughts in their mind & aren't sure where to go from here. They may also have too much divided attention & aren't putting in the appropriate amount of time & effort. They seem to be taking on most of the doubt & weariness in this connection.

You're both experiencing challenges with codependency but especially you. It may have already been hard enforcing your boundaries & focusing on yourself, but with this activation in your awareness, it's made it more difficult to do this. You've been experiencing their energy & the energy of this connection - even if they're at a physical distance.

With this increased accuracy in your awareness has come increased optimism. The downside of your newfound sensitivity is, again, focusing on yourself & other areas of your life. You're being advised to bring your energy into your body & ground it. Look up methods of grounding. I'm seeing that a particularly beneficial one for you is basking in nature & physically familiarizing yourself with the ground - in whatever ways that come to mind.

I'm seeing that for some of you, you haven't even met this person yet. You're manifesting a soulmate in general. There's limitless potential with this. You're not receiving the results as soon as you've hoped for but there's just one more step you have to take before their arrival. One of those steps is letting go of the results & timing. Work on yourself & self-love in the meantime.

[songmingisthighs]

atinytwt is so stupid and toxic oh my god i just saw someone "shading" kq for jongho ???? like okay let me put down my points

a. we don't actually know how they decide to let or allow jongho to only receive injections and medication. jongho's condition was explained by an indonesian orthopedic surgeon who said that NORMALLY injection and medication COULD aid and alleviate the pain but considering jongho's occupation and activity (i.e. dancing), recurrence is expected and it needed a more permanent solution. also, jongho is a grown ass adult, let's not baby him too much (despite me wanna go goochie goochie goo and tuck him into bed with warm milk and cookies) and think that jongho is incapable of making a huge decision for his own health no matter the consequence

b. "kq put them in crazy schedules" it's literally the pitfalls of being idols my ghawd do you want them to not tour and expand their reach and just sit pretty with one comeback a year ??? sure, they could do that but they'll need money to get better production quality like you buying one album per comeback or one album per version is not enough to even cover the shoe budget, do you think those things are cheap ??? considering album sales are not pure as it's separated as distributor and company and from the company's cuts, it's further broken down and ateez will only get a sliver if any, they have to depend on miscelaneous schedules like radio, tv shows, joint concerts, festivals, etc. And no it's not unfair because there are calculations put in place and no matter what you do, the cuts will never be enough but at least from what we see, ateez is living rather well

c. compared to the big 4 (ion even wanna get into TS, cube, mld, mbk, etc. bc yuck) kq is a far better situation for ateez and xikers. like we haven't heard much from xikers, but we know that ateez praises kq. hongjoong even said that kq's ceo goes everywhere with them on tour (hj said this on the singapore concert) except for the show in manila bc he had a prior engagement. and dude, the gifts the ceo gave ateez and the fact that kq didn't put ateez on diets they don't want and how the staff interacts with ateez and ateez with the staff. idk, i've only been seeing green flags so far. ofc no one is perfect but again, compared to jyp who made momo eat only ice cubes to achieve her target weight so she can debut, or shoving all of seventeen in one tiny ass dorm that didn't seem like there were any blankets around during pre-debut, or putting the members on a leash and treating them like dogs like infinite, i actually love kq. I've liked kpop for over a decade now, since i was like in 5th grade and i've truly never seen a happier group than ateez.

is there a way to not read stupid ass posts on twt or x or wtv and just save pictures from there ??? really i have low tolerance in stupidity bc i have to deal with my own on a daily basis

#smt tmi #smt rant #istfg #some people need to shut up #if they refuse to see and think clearly #!?!?!?!?!? #FUCK #wtf kind of unicorn candyland are they thinking of #???? #god like #it's still business #it's still a job #there are downsides #but upsides too #!! #and like #ateez is a grown as adult #frfr #they know what they're doing #BUT !! #it's kq's job to direct them and to provide what they need #par example #language lessons #dance workshops #office snacks #i can go on #like #bc FUCK #how #HOW CAN PPL NOT USE THEIR BRAIN AND COME UP WITH AN EDUCATED CONCLUSION

[thealphabard]

Alright kiddos, Daddy Jace is going to sit you all down for a long post. With twitter (and probably tumblr?) implementing genai i decided to take it upon myself to test both Nightshade and Glaze so you don't have to. Or to maybe clear some stuff up regarding both programs bc i myself was not able to find info on the quality in relation to stylized art! I'm risking my own butt for this lol

lets start with Glaze since that's just what i opened first. for clarity sake, this is what I'm chucking into it. i decided to go with 3 levels of images, starting with a basic no background fairly simplistic piece, a more detailed subject, and a full background piece from a long abandoned wip in favor of redoing it in a sense.

now there are 3 main settings I've noticed for glaze, its a default medium and high setting (there's render times too, but for this test I'm staying on the default render time which is medium and takes about 2 minutes per image)

For the most part it hasn't crazily distorted my images but you can still see some discoloration in the art. not a big deal for me personally, as you can still make out what's going on just fine. it gets pretty rough in some of the background on the big image, but thats probably the worst of it for this setting. next we will do medium!

haha ooookay just for your knowledge, I'm writing this in real time. OKAY yeah so, medium is where you will see the diminishing return it seems, while it probably really fucks with ai, unfortunately at this point my images look pretty distorted especially in backgrounds and high detail areas. but i will do high just in case anyway

Yeah so this is where the full distortion happens in all 3. again, you can still see the subject and key details, but its a bit unsavory isn't it?

now i want to make something clear. the program itself will give you feedback if the protection is enough, and for all of these tests it was fine so unless you aren't too worried about how the pictures look on social media (ie, if you share a full version in patreon/send the raw com to the owner) you can most likely choose default without any issues.

we are moving onto nightshade! in nightshade it has roughly the same UI, with the option to select a poison tag. we will come back to this later ass you can only use it on 1 image at a time. its settings are low, default, and high with similar rendering times and i will be using the same images to test them out :D starting with the low setting!

Now, i don't know if its just because I'm fresh out of the high settings from glaze, but i personally prefer this setting on my artwork. it doesn't have as much of the "oilspill" look that glaze has and is harder to notice the distortion at a glance. onto the default setting though!

Once again, prefer this over the medium for my style in particular. a lot less muddling and color distortion . obviously still there, but not effecting the details as much. High next!

This is definitely the too much gene lol however i would compare it to the medium of the glaze. Though, and this is important, please choose based off what you feel fits your needs. for me, nightshade is what i will use but it wont be the same for everyone. i just hope this gives a good comprehension on what each program does! now, to explain the tagging. in batches it will automatically tag, but it seems this is just to make an invisible coded footprint if you will in everything you do. you can overwrite them in your results, or if you do image by image (ie, if you make a new image, and put it through nightshade) you can tag it there. i will personally just be using my username as my tag going forward. and to show how that looks on an image with standard settings just to show that's its not effecting your image any extra on a visual front.

and that concludes Jace's decent into madness.

the biggest stipulation, is these are both windows/macos based applications for now

HOWEVER while I am able (given I'm not swarmed) i am more than happy to help those who would like to protect themselves and do not have the means to and i encourage others to do the same if they are comfortable. please reach out. FUCK AI ART

#digital art #fuck ai art #glaze #nightshade #protect your art #ai is theft #jace noises #this took forever #this was just a couple hours of messing around btw #if people need help using the application based on what ive learned #ill do what i can! #also if that tag info is incorrect please inform me #that is just what ive gathered from messing with it

4 THE FELLAS:

Ladies! Our men DESERVE to get spoiled, too! Valentine’s Day is not just about us, show your man your appreciation and treat him! I picked out a few of my faves for the men this year.

1. Sneakers

If your man is anything similar to mine, sneakers are one of the for sure ways to his heart. [& y’all better not come up in here with that old wives tale about buying ya man shoes!] 

Plus, great thing about sneakers is there are so many different styles and color ways that you're for sure to find something that will fit whatever your man’s style is! But, if you want to keep it on theme with V-Day, lot’s of sneakers come out with Valentine Edition pairs. 

My personal favorites are the Nike Air Force 1 Low Valentine’s Day [2021] | Stockx $225

2. Playstation 5 / PC

What guy doesn't game? Upgrade him this year, sis! I plan to.

3. Hat / Beanie

Men love them a fye hat! And also, beanies are the hottest accessory right now. Think of a brand, I'm sure they got they own version!

I love the hats from Hat Club, they always got some dope color ways. 

Brands that got some fire beanies rn:

Billionaire Boys Club

Carhartt

Stussy

MM6 by Margiela 

Supreme

4. Cologne

I think I speak for all the ladies when I say; ain't nothing better than a man that smells good all the time!😮‍💨

Bleu De Chanel | $102

Coach for Men | $105

6. Add to his passion/hobby! 🎭🎨🎙️🎞️

What does your man like to do? Is he an artist? Is he a collector? Is he into music? Or film? Think of your man’s interests and base a gift around that! Let’s say your man wants to start exploring photography, a good gift would be a tripod or ring light. Maybe he want’s to start up his own business? Purchase the LLC! Podcast? Buy him a nice mic! Or, if he’s into collecting a certain thing, add to it!

I think y’all get the point, lol.

7. Custom Rug / Art Piece

Men love art, too!

My man is slowly but surely tapping more into his artistic side and it's been so dope to see how his style progresses and what peeks his interests now.

A dope way to add to your man's area is by commissioning a custom piece for him! It can be a painting, rug, sculpture, etc. of whatever he likes! A rug of his favorite character, album, or even ya body ;) would be fye.

Here's my fave gifts to give my friends:

Self-Care Basket: One or my favorite things to make for my loved ones <3 You can really put thought into it and cater it to whoever you’re making it for! Some of my favorite things to put in are: A good book, blanket, eye masks, bath salts, candle, silk pillow case, etc.

Cute Treats + Sweets: Strawberries or preferred fruits, pretzels, etc! Super easy to make and fun, tbh.

A candle: I love gifting candles! The Replica candles are amazing! But, if you’re looking for a more affordable option, the Sand + Fog and the Sand + Paws candles are amazing! You can usually find them at Tj Maxx or Marshall’s for around $8-15 depending on the size. Also, candle's make cure decor, too. Body-shaped candles are such a cute, chic gift.

Wine + Matching glass: Also a great gift for a friend! I want to get more into wine this year so I don’t have many suggestions other than the only one I’ve tried; Stella Rose, lol. But, good wine + a pretty wine glass = perfect duo 😏

hello do you know whether this pic is real or not ? I heard 2 versions. First it's leaked from Jimin's fathers kakao. Second was they are cosplayers. Both seems to be possible lol. 2 people does wear same outfits as Jikook but then the brands they use can be bought by anyone. Also the heights are exact the same but we know Jimin is shorter than JK. And It feels like something is off near the arms area and person is too thin to be JK and the only part of face we can see doesn't look like JK too. But then I heard Karmy confirmed the pic and it's real which they were gatekeeping.

This is an old topic, and we closed this case the day the photo started to spread because it was an unverified picture, and whether it was Jikook or not, we weren't allowed to share it. But, since you are curious, I will give you my opinion. It's hard to confirm if this is Jikook in the picture, because of the low quality, but none of the proof that "Debunkers" (who were much more interested in this photo than any Jikooker) brought to debunk this photo, made any sense. I'm familiar with the concept of cosplaying, cosplayers remake a scene with an entire outfit copied from a character or celebrity in a specific location. If I were a cosplayer and wanted to cosplay Jikook with my partner, I wouldn't use a hat from JK's 190112 outfit with a jacket from his 190118 outfit, and then my partner wouldn't wear a Jacket from an entirely different year. Then we should have to choose a place that Jikook have seen there together before, not some random glimmering heart. These cosplayers sounded very dedicated because they were wearing outfits that cost thousands of dollars to "look like Jikook", but they didn't know the first rule of cosplaying. Hilarious! It's true that Jikookers emphasize and even exaggerate Jikook's height difference, but Jimin is only 2 inches shorter than JK. The height difference we see in their photos depends on many things, for example, their shoes, hats, hairstyle, the way they stand, and even the camera angle.

About them looking like JK and Jimin or not, I said that the quality is not clear enough to judge (but if you find JK's nose in the photo, you will see that it looks exactly like him). Anyways, I believe even if this photo was 4k, still so many people would deny it, I'm speaking from the experience I gained in the last few months If you know what I mean. And yes, many K-jikookers admitted that they were gatekeeping this photo for years, and in fact, they were mad at the person who leaked this to piss off taekookers. JK's father's kakaotalk, Jimin's father's Instagram, or what other things the rumors say, doesn't matter. This case is closed and no one is talking about it. But let me ask you something. The way you worded your "question" implies that you are already sure about it being fake, and I barely see any Jikooker using this as proof or anything. Then why do you even bother asking questions about it? Are you scared of it being real?

[omegalomania]

what are some songs you would love to hear fall out boy cover? honestly i just want them to fully record under pressure and release it because their performance of it was goooood 😭

wap

OKAY okay okay okay okay real answer I HAVE GIVEN THIS A LOT OF THOUGHT unsurprisingly because fob covers are literally always so good.

songs fall out boy have already covered but not done official studio recordings of but that i would kill a grown man for:

UNDER PRESSURE. like it goes without saying!!!!! i think the version we get here is actually a studio recording that they're just performing over like a music video, but they never actually released it properly on streaming services and the like which. why. patrick stump is literally dueting with himself. why would you deny us this.

mr. brightside, firstly because i think present day patrick (with a lot more confidence and control over his voice) would absolutely kill it. and secondly because i think it might reinvigorate the fob/killers feud from way back when and i think that would be funny.

basket case, because the only recordings we have of this one are so low quality and COME ON you guys toured with green day SURELY this would be a nice way to cap that off!!!

hallelujah i love her so, because i've a soft spot for stevie wonder and patrick literally did this just while noodling around and stalling on the piano during mania tour. GIVE ME FULL BAND COVER. PLEASE.

songs/artists fall out boy have not covered but that nonetheless i would kill to hear them cover:

wap. i was joking at first but now actually seriously i would love to hear what they'd do with this.

jolene. but also literally just. fob do any country covers please please please please. like literally any country song.

fleetwood mac like just anything fleetwood mac. but "the chain" would especially wreck me

meatloaf cause i know joe loves meatloaf and that would be sO. FUCKING. FUN. are you KIDDING me

converge because these guys all came from hardcore and i very very selfishly want patrick to whip out his unclean vocals again. please.

stuff that is literally so far out of fall out boy's wheelhouse but that i would commit atrocities to hear them cover:

literally anything broadway. musicals. for the love of god. musicals. every time patrick does some musical stuff (rocky horror cover, the dead end musical songs) he FUCKING KILLS IT so like...cmon guys lets get the rest of the band in on this!!!

because im deeply predictable i would absolutely murder for a "legal assassin" cover from repo! the genetic opera. the whole film gives different characters musical leitmotifs and styles, but the character featured in this song gets a lovely blend of bass-heavy dark rock combined with older showtunes. joe and pete could get some really intense riffage in there and andy would KILL those drums at the end like god DAMN. PLUS patrick would get to flex some low register growls. itd be a dream come true.

i would pay a very lot to see joe cover some of the really jagged heavy tracks from the hades soundtrack, in particular "the unseen ones." id just really like to see this man go absolutely apeshit over some of those tight delicious fucking licks

all right thats all i could think of. not pictured are the many many hours that ive gone off in the groupchat about the many many other songs i think fob should cover because they can do literally any genre

#askin hours #anon #this was a nice break. time to ignore my other inboxes cause lol. lol. lol.

With Tactics Ogre being remastered, I’m excited about my favourite game being made accessible on actually viable modern gaming platforms and I’m excited for new people to experience this incredible story.

That being said while I was initially eager to see more, I’m actually put off by what’s been shown so far.

Visually, it looks like a downgrade of the PSP version. People complain about the sprites and, fully zoomed in, I do think they look a little smudged, but I’m vastly more bothered by this completely tasteless decision to add bloom in everyone’s portrait like it’s the middle of summer and they’re looking directly at the sun (at least Hamilton is frowning appropriately). I think Masao Tsubasa’s art was perfectly fine as it was.

However I appreciate that they’re no longer cutting character portraits, I understand that the PSP screensize caused this but the new layout for dialogue boxes is very welcome nonetheless.

I also... do not like these outer-map environments that are just map artworks blurred out so they look like a mess of muddied colour. It’s weird because the sky gradients of the previous versions worked marginally better so to swap them out for something that doesn’t even look good doesn’t make any sense to me. 

It’s distracting to the eye and take away from the actual nice-looking maps.

These changes don’t make the game look awful, and I’ve seen worse in other Square Enix remasters, but it still looks like a visual downgrade of a 2010 game and that’s not really a good thing.

The far bigger offense: The voice acting. After Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy, I kind of knew what to expect the second I read “fully voiced cutscenes”. Horrid delivery of lines across the official trailer has comforted me in my stance against games having voice acting for the sake of listing it among their features regardless of quality.

Beside there are a few characters I have envisioned a specific voice for and I don’t want to be contradicted (starting with Lanselot Tartaros, rip to the dark low quiet voice you should have had)

As for the gameplay...

Alright so the apparent changes made to the gameplay are the only reason why I’m interested 

I don’t care for the change from the class-leveling system back to the unit-leveling system. I thought the class-leveling system was actually interesting and considering every post Tactics Ogre SRPGs that took inspiration from it all followed the leveling system of the original, I thought it was a nice change to experiment with a new one in the PSP remake.

I know this system was flawed because you’d have unique classes joining you in late game segments at lvl 1 and you had to grind for them to match your party but let’s be honest... if characters still join you at lvl 1 in the remaster, the problem will persist. So I hope the original system will be revised before being implemented. I’m not opposed to either system.

HOWEVER what I’m really excited about is

1. The removal of the “3 hearts before the death of your unit” system in favor of permadeath (granted you let your unit die after 3 turns without reviving)

2. The limited amount of items per character. This is an interesting mixture between the original SNES game that allows you only ONE item per battle (if you don’t choose an accessory in its place) and the PSP remake that lets you use any so long as you have them (and the skills to use the higher tiers). With the aforementioned permadeath, this means you can’t waste your limited amount of Blessing Stones and must pay close attention to your unit turns while keeping track of your item usage if you want to heal/revive/cleanse conditions.

(Pictured below: the SNES equipment slots. If you can take your eyes off the minicock, you can see the Heal item in the Item spot next to the character)

This is a very good compromise between the two in my opinion and I imagine this will enhance the difficulty in a way that’s not at all artificial and actually coherent with the game’s design!

3. The limited skillset + finishing moves replacing skills in the roster. With my experience of the game, this means building units for specific roles and consequently paying more attention my party formation while advancing through maps.

4. REGISTERED PARTY FORMATIONS???? Since it looks like units will have to be built for more specific roles, being able to save your different battle parties and select them easily before entering a fight is ideal. Considering the diversity of enemy types and environemental settings, I think this is a really interesting addition. 

So i’ve gone from excited to disappointed but cautiously intrigued. I’m not expecting any change or additions to the story and the art but I wouldn’t say no to:

1. Fixing the Obdilord family tree logic across Neutral and Chaos route. I understand why they did it but... No actually, I don’t understand. I know they consciously decided to make Nybeth have a separate family on Neutral and Chaos routes but I think this is far more confusing than not explaining it at all or just stating he has two wives and lives a double life (I mean he revived his wife in his daughter’s body just to see what would happen so this doesn’t seem too outlandish coming from him)

2. UNIQUE portraits for un-recruitable but memorable story bosses the likes of Hektor Didarro and Guacharo.

3. Fixing Andoras’ portrait (It’s not broken or anything, I just don’t like it. Every art of him for the remake as well as his SNES portrait are leagues above) (fixing =/= adding yellow lighting to it)

4. During an interview post PSP remake, the team mentioned they did pretty much everything they wanted with that release except maybe for an ambitious 3-routes split to chapter 4 for Denam, Catiua and Vyce... Well... I would have never known I wanted this had they never mentioned it but now that they’re remastering it, they simply have to bring this concept back (in the worst case I’ll settle for a full fledged Princess route diverging more than Lord route)

5. Recruitable Andoras - I know, I know, we already have a recruitable Dark Knight but I think they should make it so you can recruit BOTH but... not in the same timeline so you’d have to replay Lawful route twice or live with the consequences of your choice (but it HAS to be Lawful route, I insist)

6. Aging Arycelle up to at least 25 years old. Reading “19 years old” in the Warren Report always gives me whiplash.

#criticism under the cut #but also gameplay redesign praise (?)

Deduction #2

Alright so, second part of this series, it’s taken a lot longer than i wanted but it’s here. For those of you who don’t know this is a series in which i display my deductions and my process when making them with the hope that anyone who’s trying to learn deduction can have examples of how it’s done and can contribute with questions about any part of my process. If you’re interested in my older posts check the first deduction i posted here and it’s explanation here.

Just like last time, i'll post my deductions and i'll follow up with the explanations and reasoning in a week, in the mean time, anyone who sees this can feel free to send your own deductions about the picture or your ideas or questions about how I reached my conclusions. A little extra thing i will do in the explanation part next week will be highlight a bit of an important lesson i think we can take from this particular deduction.

So let's get to it, this was a picture sent to me by someone who wanted to test how much could be deduce from a source that contained little to no information, and so i did my best (click here for a better quality version of the picture, since Tumblr hates pictures where you can actually distinguish things)

My deductions were the following:

You're in school, you have a desk in your room which either has a lamp or is right below the window, you're introverted, you have mostly a decent amount of pencils for both drawing and coloring but that's really the extent of your art supplies, you have an android phone or an iphone x or 8, you have average grades and often find yourself losing concentration in class, enough that you have to do most of your studying and understanding of the subjects on your own High on openness, low on extraversion (which i already mentioned), INFJ the F and J are a bit of a long shot, more the F than the J Going off of that, bookshelves! there's a decent amount of those in your rooms (and no that's not a barnum statement, you'd be surprised how many people have little to no bookshelves in their rooms), i'd be surprised if you don't have a whiteboard or a cork board, probably the latter, probably right above or next to your desk, and quite a bit of pictures

And that's it, that's really all i could squeeze out of that picture, i think it was a decent bit considering the severe lack of information in the screenshot itself. For anyone that's curious, i got a few things wrong, although thankfully not an overwhelming amount: apparently their grades are better than i describe, they don't have a phone, and they don't have pictures in their room

I will post the reasoning in a week, in the mean time, have fun with the picture

Happy Observing!

replica kelly bag 19

Replica Hermes Kelly Bag A main quake within the Pacific Northwest, expected ultimately, will most likely create waves large enough to wipe out whole towns. Evacuation towers could be the solely hope, in the occasion that they ever get constructed. Homes on the south end of Ocean Shores, Wash., a neighborhood that lies near sea degree and could presumably be at excessive threat throughout a tsunami. The balaclava isn’t going anyplace anytime quickly, however gigantic, lengthy scarves are trending now too. Try Dries Van Noten or Hed Mayner’s XL versions, or consider a hand-crochet piece from Kiko Kostadinov. Ye and Julia Fox have been oddly prescient with their coordinating denim looks on the Kenzo show. I now have a producing company in Italy that makes these baggage for me. I actually have exclusive HERMES clients all of the world that I am able to present these bags to them for a fraction of the cost. A nice quality impressed bag is so identical to the authentic.
