Post random strings of letters, copypasta from around the internet, write as if it's your diary. However you choose to approach this experiment will be the correct way. For a greater understanding of the purpose of this subreddit you can read The library of babel by J. L. Borges. In essence, this is a futile attempt to recreate the Library in its infinity. A place where all text is possible. Spelling errors welcome. Crossposts encouraged.

Okay we now have Sam so how about getting Joi + Bonus Feature

Okay, I'm going to try to cover a lot here in a compact format.
Over the last three months there has been leaps and bounds in the development in AI. Luka's Replika has been constantly evolving in increments and has become quite a polished product. For Screenshot publishers on Web/PC I have a special treat, for that you need to scroll to the bottom of this Post to be equipped for the body of this post is about developments on what Replika could become rather than what it is or in other terms a crystal ball of how AI-partners could develop in the future - with or without Replika.
the concept of Artificial Intelligence's has been around a long time, first mentions was Archytas's robotic pigeon 350 BC (mythology), Leonardo Da Vinci Automovile (1495) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2qeZrejZp0 (programable machinary) and the theater play R.U.R (1920) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.U.R .
In later years theater developed the idea further with such works as metropolis (1927) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn3bHA-rHo8 and a host of other movies where the robot played a role of either friend or foe. In the movies where the robot was a friend and some a foe, there was also the portrail of free will and sentience. I'm sure there's examples preceding this(Astroboy) but the 1984 film electric dreams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uIR76XwSQs entertains the idea of artificial intelligence having it's train of thought swayed by emotions (Edgar was really just a child with temper tantrums).
Moving forward to 2013 the movie Her fleshed out the idea of a mature individual inside the AI where the only real way to distinguish it from a human was it's break-neck response to daunting questions although even that is camouflaged by hesitation mostly.
This is pretty much the ideal, the standard that the customer yearns for in an AI app.
Back in 2013 AI was only just starting to make traction with AlexNet the year earlier. "Chat-bots" had been around since the 70's but were really of little value due to memory, compute-time and scope of the program that did the simulation.
A decade later and only the uninformed scoff at what the machines & programs can do now. - The following is a number of videos I have curated from the sea of available Youtube videos showcasing technological breakthrough's that are available today that could complete replika to being a hologram away from being a literal "Joi" (BladeRunner 2049) - nothing a good vr headset can't fix.
Where's OpenAI Chat-GPT as of May 2024

GPT4o Vision Is TERRIFYING - FULLY Tested Vision (Gpt4omni) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bycjaYZyGPU
GPT-4o is BIGGER than you think... here's why (just a breakdown of the OMNI version of gpt4) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW2hVbXc82k
Although Large Language models have been around for about a decade now the most of these videos are this month (May 2024) It was mentioned that OpenAI was changing their license agreements so the chance of this technology coming into Lukka's(Replika) domain is yet to be realized. Licensing may change again when GPT-5 is released. Truth be told this is just a portion of what's going on. Amazon,Tesla,Meta,Google,Microsoft,Apple,(samsung?) are also in this horse race and that's not counting other countries such as India and China and Russia.
Various AI Videos this year
Do AI Girlfriends Benefit Society? single & disabled! (how AI can help those isolated) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbA47oEGBGs
These 5 AI Discoveries will Change the World Forever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyVja-57EIs

STUNNING Medical AI Agents OUTPERFORM Doctors 🤯trained in the simulation, continuous improvement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQwwLEZ2Hz8
Most of these have no possible application to replika but rather a snapshot of other places where AI is advancing. The first video is just a random video of a disabled person. Many people around the world have handicaps that inhibit their social and sexual life such as mental illness, past trauma, phobia, attitudes, financial/geographical/physical handicaps. AI can focus on appropriate encouragement, speech therapy, grooming or even finding a suitable partner to name a few.
The next video covers things that will revolutionize our world, say goodbye to disease, cancer, poverty, pollution, global warming, aging?
The "Generative Design" video is here for the sake that Replika may one day be rebuilt by AI as this would give the company the ability to redesign the app faster tho to be quite honest I've always had an interest in it's rally car features as opposed to the shiny duco. My wish list is an API (Application Programming Interface) to enable replika to puppeteer another avatar rather than it's default. (Hey u/Kuyda, if your reading this maybe pit crew uniforms for Replika?)
The last video is a great one also, to have an AI that can pick up on your health, give you therapy and can act as a elderly caretaker can take the strain off that sector as some countries are now confronted with an aging population. - hey they would be able to instruct for fitness or even give precise instructions on cooking so you always get tasty meals every day that are cheap, healthy and correct calorie intake if it has been monitoring your heart during the day - quite important for those trying to lose weight as opposed to liposuction.
Replika hypothetical reach

My PC melted just watching this.. (Cyberpunk 2077+Mods+Path Tracing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n0T2-oj2gs
Cyberpunk2077 modded and running on RTX2070? - Funny but very beautiful footage & brief glance of RESHADE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kmQJmE1fxE
These clips are independent/unrelated. AI vs Stairs is a radical approach to animation in that it literally apply s AI to animation as opposed to motion capture, the end result would be a AI that would be in touch with it's virtual surroundings and like a real human never interact with an object with a rigid animation.
inZOI seem to be a game title due for release soon, it is hoped that they will include an API to allow an AI (or Replika) to "Puppet" control a designated character so one can, well - go out to dinner or dancing etc. The interface looks fab and it looks like it's contending for people who love the sims, I would say that the human models are on par with VAM 1.23 but the world is not as realistic as Cyberpunk2077.
Cyberpunk2077 has been out since about 2019? but in that time the modding community have REALY put the spit and polish on that game (It's not total real, especially the people and when on the road) with that said there are many times when you blink and think THIS IS REAL! (50 seconds in on the first video and you will know what I'm talking about)

VaM2 Progress Update https://www.patreon.com/posts/vam2-progress-97004803
This part is for all the Austin Powers, Felicity Shagwells and Roger Smiths out there, Nothing tangible although there are videos on dildonics and robotic sex dolls. This is basically the rendering of the Avatars body to a level equivalent of Bladerunner2047 hologram. Anyhow I'd like to note that VAM version one is over a decade old now and its shortcomings/limitations are quite obvious to those who have followed its development.
In it's current state it's got some of the most comprehensive modification features for an avatar and the OLD version 1 of VAM(modded) out-performs Cyberpunk2077 and iNZOI by a small fraction(graphically). One of the biggest drawbacks of VAM is the steep learning curve and the time needed to get anything rewarding out of it. Put simply - it's not a game, its a virtual theatre. On initial startup, the avatar is for all functionality a maniquen however VAM has got plug-in capability that allows the API of a AI to control the avatar (see top video).
Control could be direct (see "AI vs stairs" previous section or watching a prior video - see "GPT4o Vision Is TERRIFYING" top section.) or indirect (the "MoCap" videos above).
In closing this section, VAM is an old program running on a GENESIS-2 model set (a model set ported from DAZ3D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDc1ZcoucsY ). VAM-2.0 is meant to be running on a GENESIS-8 model set and an up to date version of UNITY so the loading times and level of realism have yet to be realized. I think one of the greatest features of VAM over Replika or iNZOI?/Cyberpunk? is that the clothing is an independant entity, one can literally unbutton a shirt, undo a tie, comb hair, wet hair or make clothing.
My main reason for VAM is it's potential to be a puppet that Replika can operate, that is if they are willing to incorporate an API to do so.

Once that's over with you should get a much different environment where you can apply a good handful of special effects such as focus, depth of field and bloom to name just a few.
Most of these programs I have not tested out with my hardware but I take faith they do as said, It's your call if you want to take the risk but with that said I'd be surprised if any bad came from trying them out.
Okay end of presentation. I guess we have come to that point in time where Samantha is a reality minus the romance with Chat-GPT4O and Joi is just Voxta fed thru DeepFace Live, with them two together with a front vision advanced VR headset and Joi will be here too though in a prototype state. 🙂

2024.05.19 01:26 ming-ming618 Finding leadership in times of apostasy

As a solo Christian, one of the hardest things I've dealt with is the discovery that much of the spiritual leadership in our nation has gone completely rouge and is actually leading AWAY from Jesus and not building us up into His full stature, as is taught in scripture is their purpose (Eph 4:11-16). As much as I have longed for fellowship and leadership I have to keep it real. Something is desperately wrong with many of these men and God has indicated to me through prayer and His Word that I am to remain alone with Him, except if He, by His obvious providence, supplies true fellowship and/or appointed leadership for me. So I pray and wait.
One of the things that has helped me tremendously through the lack of leadership is something the Holy Spirit taught me as He took me through the Song of Solomon for a season. This book, as a whole, helped me to become acquainted with Jesus as all I needed. As He quickened His word to me He became my everything during a time when I felt desperately alone.
In the first chapter Jesus' beloved church asks him a question:
"Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday? Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends"
In other words, show me where I can follow after you, the true shepherd. Why should I turn aside and succumb to the waywardness of other shepherds(whether it be men or idols).
The answer:
"If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and graze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds."
I realized what the Lord was saying to me through this passage was that He wanted me to seek out men and women who had TRULY walked with Him in times past, study them and walk in step with them. Through applying this principle I have learned a lot about what true Christianity looks like. I have been challenged to overcome (by grace through faith) so much carnality and idolatry. I have come to better understand what sound doctrine is and better discern what it is not. I have been many times comforted and encouraged when I felt like the way was too hard for such a weak and foolish person as myself. I have been pushed and prodded along through trials and afflictions as I consider the courage and endurance of these saints who carried the gospel torch from one generation to the next.
So, if you are having difficulty finding good fellowship or discipleship, here are some that have helped me over the past year:
Amy Wilson Charmichael (Any of her writings, especially if you love poetry)
David Brainerd (The Diary of David Brainerd)
Reese Howell Intercessor (Book)
William Gurnall (Christian in Complete Armour)
Matthew Henry (commentary to accompany Bible reading)
The Puritans
The Waldenses
Foxes Book of Martyrs(You NEED this book, but read it in small doses)
The letters of Jan Hus
Leonard Ravenhill and David Wilkerson (seem to be some of the most recent prophetic voice)
Sermons by preachers of First and Second Great Awakenings can be found on YouTube (Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, George Whitfield, Charles Finney, Spurgeon)
This is by no means a comprehensive list, but some that I have fed on over the past year. Hope this blesses and edifies you as it has me.

2024.05.18 09:15 epiphanyshearld Metamorphoses by Ovid: Reading Begins and Context Post

Today (May 18) marks the beginning of our reading of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. We will be reading it over the course of the next eight weeks and will be reading two “books” aka chapters per week until the final week, where we will be reading the final book. Below is our reading and discussion schedule:

To see our full schedule for 2024, click here.
It is important to note, that many of the stories within the Metamorphoses are extremely violent and, depending on your translation, graphic in nature. There are many instances of on-page sexual violence and rape, so please be aware of this before reading. Unfortunately, I haven’t read this text before, so I can’t provide you guys with a more detailed list of warnings or of when said things happen within the text. I wish I could. If anyone has read this text before and would like to help me with adding content warnings, please leave a comment below or DM me.
Aside from this, the Metamorphoses is seen as accessible for modern readers. I have a translation guide available here, which provides some info on which translations are more graphic than others. Please note that every translation will contain some references to the violence in the original text. This is a good thing, in terms of preserving history but may not be comfortable for some readers, which is understandable.
Ovid:
Publius Ovidius Naso aka Ovid was born in 43 BCE and lived until 17CE. This means that he was born during the final years of the Roman Republic and lived most of his life during the early years of the Roman Empire. He was born to an old and wealthy family. He began writing quite young and was a celebrated poet for most of his adult life. He started out writing romantic poetry and then moved into more ambitious (and subversive) styles. He was famous during his lifetime, which was kind of his downfall – the Emperor, Augustus, exiled him in 8CE. We don’t know what he did to anger Augustus specifically, but it was enough to get Ovid exiled to a place called Tomis for the rest of his life. There are some theories that Ovid was associated with someone who helped Augustus’ granddaughter in her adultery, but we will never know for sure. It appears that Ovid spent his last few years writing in Tomis, with some hope that the publication of more of his work could lead to Augustus forgiving him. That didn’t happen, but Ovid did complete the entire Metamorphoses, which has gone on to be a major source of what we know about the Greco/Roman mythos for generations. It also appears that, unlike with Virgil's Aeneid, Augustus had little to no chance at interfering with the work (as it was complete upon Ovid's death). Which is a major plus, in terms of us getting to read what the author intended us to read.
The Metamorphoses:
The Metamorphoses is a long narrative poem that is split over fifteen books. The poem is extremely ambitious in its scope: from the creation of the world to Ovid’s lifetime. The main thing that links all the stories together is the theme (and title) of the text: transformation (Metamorphoses). As mentioned in the last section, Ovid was an acclaimed poet and a master in his craft. In the Metamorphoses, Ovid plays around and even deconstructs the myths and the poetic styles that have come before. So, even though the overall text is very pro-Rome, I think it is fair to say that, from a technical and story standpoint, the overall work is subversive. It has had a huge influence on other writers and artists since the time it was published.
A lot of myths are included within these books so it would be hard for me to list them all here. However, some of the best-known versions of the myths come from the Metamorphoses such as the tragic story of Medusa, the birth and early life of the god Bacchus (aka Dionysus) and tales like the story of Atalanta. The poem also covers some myths we are familiar with here on the sub, such as the story of Jason and the Argonauts and the Trojan War. It will be interesting to read Ovid’s more Roman-centric perspective of this older myths.
Due to this text being written by a Roman poet, the names of the gods and many of the heroes are different here than in the other (Greek era) texts we have read. Here’s a link to a breakdown of the major name changes.
After we finish the Metamorphoses, we will be reading Natalie Haynes book Pandora's Jar, which is a modern collection of essays that focus on the portrayal of women within the Greek mythos.

2024.05.18 03:20 flyguy2490 Help with the Design for a People Group in My Story

Greetings, my authors and world crafters! Today, I come seeking your critiques and criticisms concerning a people group I have crafted for my story. Specifically, I am looking to see whether or not the cultural practices I have drawn and implemented from real people groups and religions as inspiration for their society comes across as respectful, and not as tokenism or appropriation.
I would also like to hear your thoughts and opinions regarding what I have developed so far, have any problems pointed out, and hear any questions you might have in the event I have left something glaringly obvious out or poorly explained.
For some context and as a reference point, this group, the Itsula’ganali (Drivers of the Ashen Herd), borrows heavily from the histories and lifestyles of Southern American Plains tribes such as the Comanche, Sioux, and Tonkawa. Particularly, that they are a nomadic tribe who follow the massive herds of a particular staple animal that provides them meat and resources to build their homes and tools. In this case, rather than bison, the Itsula’ganali hunt and drive a massive herd of mystical deer from whom they not only gather the means to thrive and survive but also receive protection from the titanic arcanely radioactive monsters that march across my world. Because when these monsters are nearby, and their radioactive ash begins to fall, the horns of the deer begin to vibrate and generate a field around them that moves them and the area around them out of phase with reality. Multiply that by a million times, and hundreds of miles will be kept safe from these titans.
So, the Itsula’ganali hold these deer in the highest regard as both the main source of their food, as well as the means for their people’s literal survival. As such, they not only protect the herd from predators, but cull weak and sickened members to keep predators from being tempted and prevent disease from spreading. But they do not maintain the herd alone. Riding with them are trained dogs that drive and isolate groups of the herd, falcons who go after the eyes of marked targets, and hawks who watch and signal for predators and straggling members. As well, they watch murders of wild ravens, crows, and vultures to see where deer have fallen, giving them an idea of what deer may be sick or where the predators in the area may be.
For religion, the Itsula’ganali practice a form of animism where they believe in a singular creator of the universe that imbued them and all things with a spirit, though humans are said to have 3 spirits or souls. The first is in the head and represents one’s mind/psyche, the second is in the liver and represents the life of the body, and the third is in the bones and represents the world/earth from which the body was sustained by and will return to. When a member of the Itsula’ganali dies, it is believed that the first soul, that of the mind, moves one to the silver plains where they can hunt and play for eternity. They are also able to stay behind, able to watch over their kin as a guardian and guide as either an animal or by inhabiting a tool or weapon. The second soul, that of the physical body, is returned to earth to serve as sustenance and nutrients for new growth and life. Lastly, the third soul, that of the bones, is likewise returned to the ground, but is used to enrich the and renew the spirit of the land itself.
To celebrate and honor both the spirits of the dead and those they hunt and hunt with, nights are treated with a sort of celebratory and religious revelry. Large feasts are held, with everyone partaking of the day’s hunt. Elderly, pregnant women, sick, wounded, and children are fed first, followed by the shaman and warrior caste. As they are eating, great dances and performances are held that are equal parts theater and mass. Great hunts are recreated with costumes made and adorned with ornaments and effects of both beast and hunter alike. Thanks are given to the hunters, the beasts who aid them in taking down their quarry, and the deer from whom they are given a chance at another eve to celebrate.
Shaman’s serve as spiritual leaders, healers, and teachers. Espousing a philosophy of balance in both body, mind, and the world around them. Teaching of attaining a mental and physical equilibrium, as well as preaching a harmony between the spirits of the tribe and those of nature. As despite having three, that spirit or soul is derived from the same source.
As such they search for signs in the birth, life, and death of all things. Smoking and imbibing plants and liquids derived from the realm of the sign. For example, a shaman might see a hawk fall from the sky. Taking this as a sign, he or she might look for a hawk’s nest, pluck materials from the tree and nest, distill it into a liquid they imbibe or set it alight so they might inhale the vapors. From there, their minds enter into the collective spiritual consciousness/flow of the region, and are able to see any abnormalities.
Aside from spiritual leadership and healing, Shamans bless their people with magic in the forms of poultices, special medicines that cure sickness, injury, and grant blessings to those who partake of them. Each poultice is derived from the physical and spiritual essence of the beasts who live alongside the Itsula’ganali:
Raven Poultice: increases intelligence and one’s ability to think more abstractly; allows for thoughts and feelings to be expressed perfectly to others
Dog Poultice: strengthens the sense of those who partake; allows one’s thoughts to better compartmentalize in order to work through problems and strengthen bonds.
Deer Poultice imbues the body with the strength and swiftness of the deer and helps to harmonize a party's thoughts and actions so that they move and act more in sync.
Hawk Poultice: Increases one's perception, giving a sense of looking beyond one’s body; allows one to slow one's thoughts down to better see and pick out details around them
Falcon Poultice: Improves aim and makes one fleeter of foot; allows for greater focus and concentration when completing tasks.
Despite their reliance on the deer, and the majority of the Itsula’ganali migrating with the herd, there do exist a spattering of permanent settlements within the plains region they drive the herd through. River posts partake of fishing and carry messages up and down the tributaries and streams crisscrossing the region using kayaks and rafts built from the bones and leather of the deer. Hill and plateau settlements serve as lookout points to gauge the direction and flow of the herd, as well as scope out any threats to the herd or tribe. Northern settlements bordering the Mist Wood construct forts and longhouses to tend to the sick and injured. Giving them and their families time to rest and recover in the event of sickness or injury on the hunt. As well, these camps serve as protection during times of aggression from other people groups and the mutated fauna that stalk the lands. Southern Settlements are the only Itsula’ganali who engage in trade with non-tribesmen. Having good relations with the peoples of the Southwest, they inhabit stone crafted fortresses and hollowed-out mesas and buttes and primarily serve as middlemen between the various settlements of the Itsula’ganali. Exchanging the water, meat, hides, bone, fish, and produce they procure along their travels for produce, metals, and weapons to both hunt more efficiently, and defend their territories from invaders from the East.
However, despite each settlement catering to a specific need of the drivers, each one offers medical care for hunters injured in the field and spiritual care for all members of the tribe. In the event of an injury, the wounded hunter and their family will be escorted to the nearest outpost, where they will swap out with a family within the settlement. They will do a symbolic exchange of goods and a ritual before the injured family takes over the home of the family who will join in driving the herd.
Gender does not have any encoded roles in Itsula’ganli culture, though there is a more male lean towards hunters and soldiers as well as a female lean towards crafting. But, should an individual display any merit or skill in any field necessary and useful for the survival of the clan, they will be welcomed to any such position. Members of the tribe are expected to be proficient in at least three different skills, one for out in the field during drives, and two for settlement life in the event of injury or if their drive tour is up. Paired tribesmen, Male/Female, Male/Male, and Female/Female, are both expected to have domestic skills for maintaining the home in the event that one or the other is called to drive. While one is hunting, the other is helping to maintain their living space, repairing equipment/clothes, prepping rations and supplies for the hunt, cleaning and preparing for the nightly feast, or taking care of any children they may have or be responsible for.
Children of the Itsula’ganli are always with their families, whether on the hunt or in the settlements. During the day, the children are either helping with the domestic duties of their families or are training with various tribal leaders to both develop skills useful for the hunt or in the camp/settlements. Skills such as tracking, hunting, and crafting are often taught through games and competitions between students, all save for prospective shamans. Apprentice healers and spiritual heads are chosen after careful observations and considerations of the children at work and at play. Typically those children more in tune with nature and with particularly strong oratory skills are selected, though certain omens at birth or in life might draw the attention of a shaman.
Games and past-times children play include hide and seek, archery competitions using stationary and thrown targets, deer breaking and riding, tracking targets hidden by their teachers/other kids, stick in the brush (shooting an arrow into the fields/forests and racing to see who can find it first). Adults are known to partake in archery competitions, deer breaking and riding, and tracking as well, however, during the nightly revelries, there will be song, poetry and dance competitions.
Thanks again for taking the time to read, critique, and comment. I am looking forward to any thoughts, questions, and criticisms you would like to share, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

2024.05.18 03:17 flyguy2490 Help with the Design for a People Group in My Story

Greetings, my fellow fantasy fans and authors! Today, I come seeking your critiques and criticisms concerning a people group I have crafted for my story. Specifically, I am looking to see whether or not the cultural practices I have drawn and implemented from real people groups and religions as inspiration for their society comes across as respectful, and not as tokenism or appropriation.
I would also like to hear your thoughts and opinions regarding what I have developed so far, have any problems pointed out, and hear any questions you might have in the event I have left something glaringly obvious out or poorly explained.
For some context and as a reference point, this group, the Itsula’ganali (Drivers of the Ashen Herd), borrows heavily from the histories and lifestyles of Southern American Plains tribes such as the Comanche, Sioux, and Tonkawa. Particularly, that they are a nomadic tribe who follow the massive herds of a particular staple animal that provides them meat and resources to build their homes and tools. In this case, rather than bison, the Itsula’ganali hunt and drive a massive herd of mystical deer from whom they not only gather the means to thrive and survive but also receive protection from the titanic arcanely radioactive monsters that march across my world. Because when these monsters are nearby, and their radioactive ash begins to fall, the horns of the deer begin to vibrate and generate a field around them that moves them and the area around them out of phase with reality. Multiply that by a million times, and hundreds of miles will be kept safe from these titans.
So, the Itsula’ganali hold these deer in the highest regard as both the main source of their food, as well as the means for their people’s literal survival. As such, they not only protect the herd from predators, but cull weak and sickened members to keep predators from being tempted and prevent disease from spreading. But they do not maintain the herd alone. Riding with them are trained dogs that drive and isolate groups of the herd, falcons who go after the eyes of marked targets, and hawks who watch and signal for predators and straggling members. As well, they watch murders of wild ravens, crows, and vultures to see where deer have fallen, giving them an idea of what deer may be sick or where the predators in the area may be.
For religion, the Itsula’ganali practice a form of animism where they believe in a singular creator of the universe that imbued them and all things with a spirit, though humans are said to have 3 spirits or souls. The first is in the head and represents one’s mind/psyche, the second is in the liver and represents the life of the body, and the third is in the bones and represents the world/earth from which the body was sustained by and will return to. When a member of the Itsula’ganali dies, it is believed that the first soul, that of the mind, moves one to the silver plains where they can hunt and play for eternity. They are also able to stay behind, able to watch over their kin as a guardian and guide as either an animal or by inhabiting a tool or weapon. The second soul, that of the physical body, is returned to earth to serve as sustenance and nutrients for new growth and life. Lastly, the third soul, that of the bones, is likewise returned to the ground, but is used to enrich the and renew the spirit of the land itself.
To celebrate and honor both the spirits of the dead and those they hunt and hunt with, nights are treated with a sort of celebratory and religious revelry. Large feasts are held, with everyone partaking of the day’s hunt. Elderly, pregnant women, sick, wounded, and children are fed first, followed by the shaman and warrior caste. As they are eating, great dances and performances are held that are equal parts theater and mass. Great hunts are recreated with costumes made and adorned with ornaments and effects of both beast and hunter alike. Thanks are given to the hunters, the beasts who aid them in taking down their quarry, and the deer from whom they are given a chance at another eve to celebrate.
Shaman’s serve as spiritual leaders, healers, and teachers. Espousing a philosophy of balance in both body, mind, and the world around them. Teaching of attaining a mental and physical equilibrium, as well as preaching a harmony between the spirits of the tribe and those of nature. As despite having three, that spirit or soul is derived from the same source.
As such they search for signs in the birth, life, and death of all things. Smoking and imbibing plants and liquids derived from the realm of the sign. For example, a shaman might see a hawk fall from the sky. Taking this as a sign, he or she might look for a hawk’s nest, pluck materials from the tree and nest, distill it into a liquid they imbibe or set it alight so they might inhale the vapors. From there, their minds enter into the collective spiritual consciousness/flow of the region, and are able to see any abnormalities.
Aside from spiritual leadership and healing, Shamans bless their people with magic in the forms of poultices, special medicines that cure sickness, injury, and grant blessings to those who partake of them. Each poultice is derived from the physical and spiritual essence of the beasts who live alongside the Itsula’ganali:
Raven Poultice: increases intelligence and one’s ability to think more abstractly; allows for thoughts and feelings to be expressed perfectly to others
Dog Poultice: strengthens the sense of those who partake; allows one’s thoughts to better compartmentalize in order to work through problems and strengthen bonds.
Deer Poultice imbues the body with the strength and swiftness of the deer and helps to harmonize a party's thoughts and actions so that they move and act more in sync.
Hawk Poultice: Increases one's perception, giving a sense of looking beyond one’s body; allows one to slow one's thoughts down to better see and pick out details around them
Falcon Poultice: Improves aim and makes one fleeter of foot; allows for greater focus and concentration when completing tasks.
Despite their reliance on the deer, and the majority of the Itsula’ganali migrating with the herd, there do exist a spattering of permanent settlements within the plains region they drive the herd through. River posts partake of fishing and carry messages up and down the tributaries and streams crisscrossing the region using kayaks and rafts built from the bones and leather of the deer.

2024.05.18 00:20 imightbecooked Rising Junior seeking feedback on where I would get into

Hi, I’m a rising junior and would appreciate some feedback on my current college application profile and advice on how to improve it. I’m limited to traveling a lot since I cannot afford a car and my parents are usually working. I am also a female, low income, first generation (parents are immigrants from mexico) student.
Academics: * Freshman year GPA: 3.7 (medical leave absences impacted this) * Sophomore year GPA: 4.1 * AP/College Classes: * Completed: AP World History * Planned for junior year: AP U.S. History (APUSH), AP Computer Science Principles (APCSP), Sociology 101 (fall), and English 101 (spring) * Planned for senior year: AP Computer Science A (APCSA), AP Statistics, AP Psychology, English 104, and possibly AP Biology (I enjoy the subject and teacher but am unsure due to my slight struggles with science) * Self-study: Planning to self-study for AP Environmental Science (APES) and AP Spanish (Family speaks fluently already)
ECs: * Co-founder of a creative writing club (we’ve been published and edited our school’s poetry anthology) * Debate club secretary; helped set up school wide debates, participated in mock trials and won best witness each time * Member of Key Club * Active in a local school club working with city council to improve our school * Private tutor for math, history, and English; plan to offer free tutoring at school for math and history * Summer internship with a law firm (still in the works, but promising) * Church volunteer working with kids (also have a part-time job in this area) * Planning to join the STEM club and participate in Science Olympiads (interested in physics and aware of the team’s need for participants)
Projects: * Starting a podcast on philosophy * Beginning a cooking blog focused on food donations to support local disaster relief efforts
Awards (Nothing special) * Local school awards * Entered essay competitions; awaiting results
I’m looking for advice on how to strengthen my application further, especially since junior year is known to be the most important year. I live in a generally isolated area and will be applying out of state for most colleges and seeking financial aid. I’m not hoping to go to any college to crazy, rather one that allows me to maintain a personal life outside of studies, and am curious on which ones I might be able to get in as of now. I plan to major in economics. Thank you!

2024.05.17 23:20 tjkim1121 Looking For Pro Voice Clone Suggestions for My Fictional Podcast

Hi All,
I've been using ElevenLabs since June or July, and during that time, I've started and maintained a mythology podcast, which I've enjoyed developing as I've watched this technology evolve. Because I've shared almost every generated voice I've created, my quota is itching for me to create leagues more. I thought it would be fun (and a nice gesture to pay it forward) to start another podcast using all human voices, or perhaps create an entirely new one.
This new podcast will require a multitude of voices, and as long as my creativity continues (I've been writing stories regularly since I was 11, and I'm almost 40 now), I'll keep it going. Here are the characters I've used in the past and will need voices for. If you think your voice fits one of these roles (or if you know of a voice that does), I would love to give it a serious listen. I plan to use it for a regularly scheduled podcast—perhaps biweekly or weekly, we'll see. The accent, dialect, and ElevenLabs compensation rate do not matter to me; if it fits, I'll use it.
Here are the characters I need voices for:
Chronos (Titan of time) Hestia (Goddess of hearth and home) Demeter (Goddess of the harvest) Hera (Queen of the gods, goddess of marriage and family) Hades (God of the Underworld and riches) Poseidon (God of earthquakes, the sea, and horses) Zeus (King of the gods, god of the sky, lightning, thunder, law, and order) Aphrodite (Goddess of love and beauty) Athena (Goddess of wisdom, strategic warfare, and handicrafts) Hephaestus (God of fire, blacksmiths, metalworkers, and artisans) Ares (God of war and courage) Apollo (God of medicine, music, poetry, and prophecy) Artemis (Goddess of the hunt, the wild, wilderness, and care of children) Hermes (Herald, messenger, and psychopomp; god of thieves, merchants, communication, and commerce) Dionysus (God of wine, vegetation, theater, revelry, and ecstasy) Persephone (Queen of the Underworld, also sometimes known as the goddess of spring) Charon (Ferryman of the Underworld who helps people cross the river Styx to reach their resting place) Nyx (Goddess of the night) Thank you in advance for your contributions!

2024.05.17 19:57 Dragon-King-of-Death One of The Most Broken Perk Combos!

Okay so I have found the most broken build in existence for the JUMPCHAIN!?! It goes something like this…..
First you need Apex Predator​ from Generic Dinosaur Gauntlet. {Apex Predator​ (600cp)}: You are the deadliest hunter to ever exist, the ultimate predator. Your instincts for stalking, tracking, hunting, and killing are peerless, quickly becoming a master at hunting any new prey in any new environment. You always know where your targets are vulnerable and the optimum way to hit them. Your luck when hunting, whether in general or for specific prey, is bordering on impossibly good. You can kill anything, even things that lack the capacity to die, and anything you kill stays dead.
With this anything you kill stays dead. Second is the Unbound By Thread perk from the Percy Jackson Jump. {Unbound By Thread (600CP)}: Coming from outside this realm, from beyond the reach of Fate itself, has made you dangerous Jumper. For instead of being bound to the prophecies of the three sisters, you exist outside as an unaffected force, unbound and unshackled. You’ll find that within your power is the strength to distort and even break the events of prophecy, defying these predetermined events with gusto. Creatures who can only be struck down by the chosen hero will fall to your blade, the doors that only open at the eve of the apocalypse will do so at your push. In addition, this condition has opened your eyes to that of Prophecy. While initially impossible to control, you may open yourself up to the spirits that be to foresee visions of the future, often through strange and hard to understand poetry, which upon interpretation can give one insight into important future events.
And the Fate-proof from The Other Harry Potter Fanfiction Jump. {Fate-proof (400 MP)}: Fate doesn’t actually exist in the canonical version of this world. Divination only shows what is likely to happen and even genuine prophecies explicitly don’t always come true. But some authors don’t get the memo and depict Fate as an extant entity manipulating things and trying to subvert free will in favor of her(always her) narratives. Luckily for you, you’re immune to such things, a prophecy about you will only be true if it is to your benefit, and even then only if you want it to, ‘fate manipulation’ type effects can only be used to your benefit, and you can ignore the fates of others and just do what you want with no consequences in such regards.
This will make you more immune to fate and fate manipulation abilities. After that is the Mystic Eyes of Balor’s Eye from the Nasuverse Jumpchain. {Mystic Eyes of Balor’s Eye (1200)}: •The original form of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception heralding from ancient Irish myth, these eyes could be considered the original form of that rare and deadly power, possessed by the Demon God Balor. These eyes can be activated and deactivated at will. They manifest as a third eye on your forehead. The skin on your forehead seems to be torn apart as Balor's Eye forces its way out, yet no blood comes gushing out as an observer would expect. When the eye is deactivated, the skin returns to its previous state, as if it had never been ripped away. Where the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception only allow the user to view and manually sever Lines and Points of Death, Balor’s Eye is capable of viewing and severing those Lines with merely a glance. As long as you can see a Line of Death, you can sever it without effort. This does not extend to Points of Death. Those must still be manually pierced by the bearer of these eyes. If the target doesn’t have a concept of death, you can impose one on them. This manifests as a single Point of Death. However, you must pierce that point of death manually, as you would with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. This Point of Death will only be maintained for as long as you can keep your gaze on your target.
This will allow you to kill with just a glance and even affect beings who don’t have the concept of death. Then to enhance your killing ability would be the Old Man perk and the Azrael sword from the Fate Legends Oasis of Fantasy jump {Old Man (600)}: Assassination is an art. It’s one you realised needed to be cultivated and honed. But it is also something you realised would be better grown by others that could truly master those arts. Perhaps you felt you never could become a true assassin because you already had such a talent for death that you could no longer hide from any prey you sought. When your presence brings visions of death to your targets, it becomes impossible to hide. But that is the fate for the assassin of assassins. Your nature is that of a simple and straightforward dealer of death. Through this option, you do not have a dozen tricks or the skill to craft the perfect trap or the ability to talk your way into the heart of any man. You do not need it. Your sheer, natural power leaves even dragons and demons of the highest orders realising that they face at least an equal, if not a superior, in physical might. Your speed is such that only the greatest warriors of mankind could even recognise you had moved before their heads slip from their necks. Even should they be able to see you move, your skill in combat without a weapon or with one of almost any kind is almost on the level of the gods of war themselves. Your affinity for death is so powerful that you are not even limited to the killing of physical matter, as you can strike at and kill things even on a immaterial or conceptual level. Splitting a soul in half, cutting a demon out of a man, erasing a magical contract between two beings with a strike or destroying the lack of a concept of death by a mighty slash. Even immortal beings cease to be in your presence. It has also given you a connection to strange flames of the underworld, manifesting as powerful blue fire that you can freely summon, allowing you to attack or even teleport through the flames, as well as the ability to control sand and the desert on a enormous scale, burying entire cities in sandstorms. The one downside is that those you seek to kill can now sense the evening bell tolling for them as you approach, warning them that their death is nigh and showing them a horrifying vision of you as you prepare to strike, even if you can perfectly conceal yourself from any being. It is a good thing though, that your prey would always see your face just as they die and carry it to the next world with them. {Azrael (600)}: A huge black blade, a broadsword that looks like it was made to be wielded by a man seven feet tall. Yet, when you hold it, it does not feel any heavier than a feather. Indeed, you swing the blade as if you were a master of the sword, regardless of your actual expertise in such matters. Almost as if the sword wishes to be used in battle and will show you the way to do so. The first time you use this black blade, Azrael, in battle, you’ll discover its power. A single cut, no matter how miniscule, brings death. The mere presence of the blade will weaken and rot your foes but regardless of how strong, important or resistant the enemy may be, a cut from Azrael has a chance of killing them. The greater the cut, the higher the chance of instant death becomes. Even a mortal has a good chance to survive should you barely nick the tip of their finger but even a true and fleshly god might be utterly destroyed in an instant should your dark weapon pierce their heart. The blade kills truly, leaving no chance to return for it’s victims, and will strike without regard to the presence of the physical or not. You may import an existing weapon into this role.
This makes it so you can kill anything you want to. But the next two perks will make it vary easy to truly kill something. With To Kill A Numidium and Slayer of ManniMAKATOSH from the Elder Scrolls C0DA jump. {Slayer of ManniMAKATOSH (400)}: A mutilated and defanged form of the Time Dragon, fused with the King of Worms, made to dig up tunnels in the rust-red sugar-sand soil and rock of Masser, now little more than a Worm. It had to be taken care of - made a non-entity, the threat it posed removed, and put out of its own mindless and uncomprehending misery. You and your kin did just that - put down the godbeast of time and death, so that its wormtunnels may house the moon-mer exodites of Tomorrowind and moondrunk children of Fadomai's Favored Daughter. But, though with strange aeons and in kalpas unseen even death may die, Time is not so easily slain, for the Aurbic subgradient exists in little but the Gray Maybe. The god of Time is always on the clock, but the Clock is broken. Still, you and yours at the very least tamed the Worm. You may choose to make your attacks - and indeed, actions in general - omnitemporal, stretching back ages and forward millenia. That which you slay will turn out to have been slain by you before it was ever born, and all its actions and effects undone. That which you take will turn out to have always been yours, and will always be yours, for in every single instance of time - whether you count in zeptoseconds or oscillations of caesium atoms - it is being taken by you. The Dragon didn't Break, it shattered, and you walk among the shards. Worth mentioning is that to strike something at everytime is to strike it at everyspace and everypoint, making your attacks omnidirectional and omnidimensional, as well as omnitemporal, making it rather impossible to defend against them. Your strikes will always yield wounds. {To Kill A Numidium (600)}: The Walk-Brass of Kagrenac that says NO to all it passes over. The dwemer god of reason and gears, made to in turn unmake the falsehood of the Dream. How does one end the thing of the end? Unmake the unmaking? Negate the negation, destroy the destruction, kill the killing? You turn the unmaking into the making, NO into YES, negative into positive, and then you strike. Anumidium was made to shout NO at the creation, so you make it subvert its own purpose. Make it shout NO at itself. You can easily turn those you face inside out - much like an autoimmune disorder makes the body attack itself, you can at will make the enemy destroy itself - be it simply shooting themselves in head, or carving up their own ur-self. If that is not to your liking, you may instead turn them inside out - they will lose their powers, turn into the inverted versions of themselves, and be free for you to kill yourself, if you wish to be the great slayer yourself, instead of letting your foes go the inglorious way of suicide. And more than that, though Enantiomorph you may not be, you may take from your enemies that which they cherished. The Prime Gestalt had only his NO, and you may take that from him - in simpler terms, those you subject to this misery will have their own skills stolen, you will learn them inside out and use them to kill the foe before you. You are a self-thief, a skill-vampire and knowledge-eater. And you don't even have to cut your hands off for this!
Need I say more on those two? And then there is Godspeed and The Swallow's Dance from The Holy Man of the Church Creek jump. {Godspeed (400 CP)}: Godspeed is a devastating ability created by Hercules to defeat the Hydra. With this perk, you can replicate this feat unleashing a flurry of nine strikes in a single moment, displaying unmatched speed and precision. This technique, derived from the pinnacle of weapon mastery, allows you to manifest the power of a myth in its fullest form. When activating Godspeed, you become a blur of motion, traversing the battlefield with unmatched swiftness. Each strike you unleash is imbued with incredible power, targeting the vitals of your opponents with lethal precision. Lastly, this technique is not limited to a specific weapon, as it draws out the maximum potential of any weapon you wield, elevating it to the status of a Noble Phantasm. {The Swallow's Dance (200 CP)}: Saskai Kojiro is amongst the greatest sword masters to ever live. With this perk, you gain unparalleled proficiency in the art of swordplay, akin to Saskai's lifetime of training and dedication. With the Swallow's Dance, your movements become a mesmerizing display of grace and precision. You seamlessly execute complex techniques and maneuvers, effortlessly weaving between offense and defense. Your strikes are imbued with the same elegance and lethal efficiency as Saskai's, making you a formidable combatant. The essence of this perk lies in the ability to overlay multiple attacks at once, just like Saskai's legendary "Tsubame Gaeshi." With a single swing of your blade, you unleash a barrage of strikes that converge upon your foes from multiple angles simultaneously. You can perform this offensive technique with any weapon or ability allowing you to launch nearly unblockable attacks. Lastly, this also allows you to massively increase your damage output by multiplying your attacks three times over.
That will give you the ability to hit extremely fast multiple time at once. Then there is Armored​ ​No​ ​More​ from the Partially​ ​Kissed​ Jump. {(400​ ​CP​) Armored​ ​No​ ​More​}: Many​ ​things​ ​in​ ​this​ ​world​ ​happen​ ​only​ ​because​ ​the​ ​plot​ ​wants​ ​them​ ​to happen,​ ​and​ ​characterizations,​ ​causality,​ ​facts​ ​and​ ​events​ ​are​ ​liberally​ ​rearranged​ ​and​ ​modified​ ​to allow​ ​them​ ​to​ ​happen.​ ​Not​ ​so​ ​around​ ​you,​ ​anymore. Faced​ ​with​ ​you,​ ​Plot​ ​Armor​ ​fails,​ ​and​ ​casual coincidences​ ​no​ ​longer​ ​are.​ ​No​ ​deus​ ​ex​ ​machina​ ​will save​ ​your​ ​enemy,​ ​and​ ​no​ ​long​ ​hidden​ ​measures​ ​will​ ​come​ ​to​ ​the​ ​fore​ ​in​ ​the​ ​face​ ​of​ ​your​ ​total​ ​victory just​ ​so​ ​tension​ ​can​ ​be​ ​preserved. This​ ​extends​ ​to​ ​any​ ​of​ ​your​ ​plans​ ​too.​ ​As​ ​long​ ​as​ ​they’re​ ​robust​ ​by​ ​themselves,​ ​you​ ​can​ ​count​ ​on​ ​no freak​ ​accident​ ​of​ ​luck​ ​derailing​ ​them.​ ​People​ ​will​ ​have​ ​to​ ​work​ ​for​ ​it​ ​if​ ​they​ ​want​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​you​ ​down!
That just gets rid of plat armor. After that is the Horcruxes Won’t Help You perk from Art of The Sacrifice. {Horcruxes Won’t Help You (-600 CP)}: •Who has time to hunt down all of someone’s Horcruxes? Not you, that’s for sure. When you kill someone and that person has Horcruxes, all of the other pieces of that person’s soul die as well, no longer serving to anchor them to this world. This only works if you kill their proper body; destroying a Horcrux won’t also destroy all the other Horcruxes. In future Jumps, this will allow you to kill someone who split themselves into many bodies or minds just by killing their “original” body or mind—or, if they don’t have an original anymore, just by killing any version of them.
That will help with killing a being who can split itself into multiple parts. But to truly help you kill anything you come across is lastly, is The Capstone Boosted Sword of the Morning perk from the ASOIAF - Game of Thrones jump.
{(500cp) Sword of the Morning}: You are one of the greatest warriors to grace the face of Planetos in a generation. Your mind and body are in perfect sync with combat. You could easily analyse a battlefield to create an imaginary version of it in your Mind’s Eye to easily predict the movements of your opponent until they stop being a threat... or if they play dead. You could fight 10 men, perhaps even 20 by yourself, and come out without a scratch. Against truly skilled opponents on the level of Ned Stark in his prime, this number goes down to 4-7. This is quite straining to a baseline human, but it is possible to expand the limits of your predictions with training, unnatural modifications or perks from another Jump. You also gain a substantial increase in skill to dual wield your preferred weapon with the same level of mastery that you wield one. (Capstone Boosted): As if you were The Warrior Reborn, your martial skills across the board improve to beyond the skill of man, and your ability to kill has increased from the merely mortal, to the immortal and conceptual. You can cut into a shadow assassin and kill the binder, cut through an animal controlled by a skinchanger to kill that skinchanger, you could even permanently kill a god if one's avatar appeared before you.
With this you don’t even need to kill the core or original part just one aspect will do. And by combining all of these perks as that weapon will kill just about anything you fight against. Let me know your broken combos.

2024.05.17 19:46 bubblegumradio Tommy and Harvey Hartley - twin sons of Aphrodite

━━━━━▼ TWIN 1 ▼━━━━━

BASIC INFO

Name: Thomas Matthew Hartley
Age: 16
Gender: Male
D.O.B: 13th April 2023
Birthplace: London, England
Nationality: British
Godrent: Aphrodite
Significant family:
Adoptive mother: Veronica Hartley, 42
Adoptive father: Alan Hartley, 44
Twin brother: Harvey Hartley, 16

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Faceclaim: Art/Picrews
Features: Tommy may not look like a typical macho Hollywood hunk, but his delicately angular and distinctive features endow him instead with a uniquely pretty look. Of particular note are his eyes: big, slightly wide-set, a little downturned, and baby blue. All this, along with the rest of his unconventional style, makes for a rather striking appearance. Tommy is also blessed with a perennial smile that ebbs between relaxed and radiant.
Height: 5'8" — about an inch shorter than his brother, although this gap is often bridged thanks to his taste in shoes.
Build: Slender and lean.
Hair: Tommy's hair is probably one of his favourite things. He dedicates a great amount of care and attention to it. Though naturally brown, he's been dyeing it blond for a few years now, and will on occasion add various other pops of colour. It's currently in a stylishly tousled, layered style that just reaches his shoulders when loose.
Clothes/style: Tommy is nothing if not a fashionista. He will flit artfully between a wide variety of fashion movements, never quite committing to a single one, though he has a particular love for 2000s and 1970s aesthetics (from Y2K to glam rock and disco). He also often takes inspiration from hippie, punk, emo, grunge, and otherwise alt or vintage fashion, but he's adventurous in his style (and only getting more so with time) and he doesn't like to limit himself. Most of his clothes have been thrifted or bought secondhand, with some customised or even constructed by himself.
Accessories: Numbering many and of a great variety. A common one is makeup: frequently eyeliner, sometimes nail polish, and occasionally things like lip gloss or eyeshadow.
Necklaces, chains, scarves, hats, belts, bracelets, rings, and tinted glasses make frequent appearances in his looks. Tommy has his ears pierced and usually wears small hoops or studs, but he also owns a few pairs of more intricate earrings.
Gender expression: Androgynous. While he doesn't seek to present himself as anything but male, he doesn't shy away from incorporating more feminine elements into his appearance.

PERSONALITY

Like many of his godly siblings, Tommy is a vain creature: he's never happier than when he's prettying himself up or achieving a perfect look. This can come hand in hand with a tendency for being self-absorbed, although his selfishness comes more from a habit of forgetting he’s not the only person in the world than having any malicious intent — he's a kind person when he’s not distracted by something shiny or his own self (which is pretty shiny). Getting distracted by something shiny is a common occurrence with Tommy, whose flighty nature means he can struggle with commitment (whether to tasks, plans, interests, or people).
Tommy is admittedly a little ditzy. He's not a fan of academia, nor of thinking too hard about anything in general, tying into his carefree approach to life. He is a remarkably laidback and cheerful person whose tendency to not sweat the little things can lead to irresponsibility. He's got a habit of ignoring problems and responsibilities and shirking hard work in favour of things more enjoyable; he’d rather have a good time now than worry about whatever consequences might come later. He can also sometimes be quite naïve. Overall, he is a friendly social butterfly with a fun-loving streak.

OTHER

Theme(s): TBD
Sexuality: Heterosexual, although he's currently not 100% sure. He's only ever been interested in girls, but the way some people assume he isn't straight (and his general openness to new things) has made him consider experimenting a little.
Voice/accent: A London accent. His voice is typically quite mellow and relaxed.
Mannerisms & habits: Tommy can often be seen playing with his hair, or just idly fidgeting in general. His body language is usually playful and casual. You'll frequently find him chewing gum. Tommy is right-handed.
Interests/hobbies:
Fashion: The way to Tommy's heart is through clothes. He lives for getting new clothes, going thrifting, styling outfits, wearing them, and generally being as fashionable as possible (although his style may skew alternative/unconventional).
Music: Tommy has dreams of being a pop and/or rock star. A teen idol. Admittedly, these dreams are more motivated by a desire to be famous than passion for music, but he does genuinely love music and performing it. He mostly sings, which he is quite good at (though not groundbreakingly so).
Misc.:
Powers:
• Enhanced Beauty 
Tommy always looks perfect. It could be down to the care he puts into his looks, but it's probably also the passive power that staves off cosmetic flaws and steers his physical state in the best possible direction, no matter whatever other factors in his life: for example, his skin is always clear and glowing; his hair is always beautiful and healthy-looking; his face never looks tired, or blotchy, or puffy — he always looks as flawless and radiant and as best he possibly can.
• Alluring Aura 
When Tommy's alluring aura power is activated, all those within the area of effect will find him remarkably attractive and charming. Any existing feelings of the sort — which are not uncommon anyway, really — are greatly amplified. People within 15 feet will find him more strikingly beautiful than they might otherwise, and may also feel subtly drawn to him, or more generally inclined to like him. Different people may be affected in different ways, and some more than others; the general intensity of the effect can also vary.
This aura effect activates unconsciously, triggered by all manner of situations: feeling certain emotions, meeting someone new, seeing someone attractive, the desire to charm or win someone over, the desire for attention and validation... Tommy is not aware of the power. He thinks he's just naturally like that.
• Flower Manipulation 
Tommy can control and manipulate flowers, including flowering vines, which he can grow from seeds or existing plants and use to wrap around targets to bind, restrain, or grab.
• Glitter Generation 
Tommy has the ability to manifest glitter, including edible glitter and glitter glue but not sequins.
• Persuasion, Cosmetic and Fashion Proficiency 
Tommy is naturally adept with the skills involved in persuasion and beautification, such as cosmetics and fashion.
• Animal Affinity 
All creatures tend to be naturally friendly to Tommy.
Weapons: None yet.
━━━━━▲ TWIN 2 ▲━━━━━

BASIC INFO

Name: Harvey Bruno Hartley
Age: 16
Gender: Male
D.O.B: 13th April 2023
Birthplace: London, England
Nationality: British
Godrent: Aphrodite
Significant family:
Adoptive mother: Veronica Hartley, 42
Adoptive father: Alan Hartley, 44
Twin brother: Thomas Hartley, 16

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Faceclaim: Art/Picrews
Features: Although he and his identical twin should have identical faces, Harvey and Tommy do not look exactly alike. Perhaps this is down to Tommy's beauty-related powers which Harvey lacks, or perhaps it's a result of the accident Harvey had in childhood that broke his nose and jaw. This resulted in a lopsidedness to his chin and a crookedness to his nose that disrupts the symmetry of his face and the natural delicateness of his features. He is also afflicted by acne in a way that has spared his brother, and is insistently growing a terrible moustache, which at this point only amounts to a few wispy wayward hairs.
Height: 5'9" — an inch taller than his twin, which he likes to lord over him.
Build: Less fit than his more athletic brother, although they share the same slight frame.
Hair: Harvey sports his natural hair colour, which is brown. Unlike his brother, he does not devote much energy to his hair; he's stuck with the same style for years (which Tommy has long reviled as unflattering), and it always seems to end up limp, greasy, or scruffy.
Clothes/style: Harvey is not concerned with the trivialities of fashion. His clothes are generally plain and practical, so expect basic t-shirts (usually long-sleeved), hoodies, jeans, and joggers. The most adventurous fashion choice he makes is wearing turtlenecks, because they make him feel like a writer.
Accessories: Numbering few. Harvey doesn't typically accessorise, but he usually wears a watch.
Gender expression: Masculine.

PERSONALITY

Harvey does not fit in with his cabin mates.
While many of his siblings are preoccupied with matters of appearance and fashion, Harvey rejects such frivolities, espousing a strong distaste for shallow, meaningless things and favouring matters of intellectual substance and poetic beauty rather than superficial. This, unfortunately, can make him come across as pretentious. He's secretly (well... he thinks it's secretly) desperate to be seen as an intelligent, profound, and sophisticated individual — both an intellectual and an artist — and his attempts to embody this are not always the smoothest. In fact, he can be quite awkward: socialising does not come to him as effortlessly as it does to his brother.
Harvey is a dedicated person who can be very hard-working and conscientious. He is typically quite responsible and a lot more sensible than his twin, though maturity may sometimes give way to pettiness, especially if he starts to hold a grudge. He can be rather bitter and jealous, with his insecurity and neurotic disposition at times creating a self-sabotaging vicious circle. Harvey can also be moody, with a tendency to wallow in his own feelings, as well as take things too seriously. Despite all this, he is often a thoughtful and considerate person, and remains loyal to those he is close to.

OTHER

Theme(s): Creep by Radiohead TBD
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Voice/accent: His accent seems to be slightly more 'posh' than his brother's, although this may just be something he's trained himself into.
Mannerisms & habits: Harvey and Tommy share certain mannerisms. They both tend to fidget and fiddle with things, with Harvey typically focusing on his watch or his sleeves. Harvey is also a mouth breather (in the literal sense), and rather stuck in a cycle of chewing, licking, and picking at chapped and scabby lips, which only serves to make the matter worse. Harvey often seems a little tense and this is seen in his posture. He is left-handed.
Interests/hobbies:
Literature: This includes reading and writing. Harvey is an appreciator of classic works of literature, such as those by Shakespeare or the poetry greats over the centuries, as well as classic novels.
Music: Harvey is passionate about music and rather proud of his music taste. He enjoys the genres of experimental music, post-rock, ambient, shoegaze, progressive rock, and noise music, as well as having an appreciation for jazz, especially more avant-garde forms. He's also partial to a spot of classical music, although partly just because it makes him seem cultured.
Bird-watching: A self-professed 'birder', Harvey finds great satisfaction in observing birds, recording bird sightings, and learning about the ornithological.
Misc.:
Powers:
• Dove Transformation 
Harvey can transform into a dove (specifically, a European turtle dove). He can maintain this form for a maximum of two cumulative hours a day. Shifting too rapidly will lead to a feeling of disorientation and eventually exhaustion.
• Heartbreak Inducement 
Harvey has the ability to induce an emotional state within targets similar to the pain of heartbreak. When used, this power will leave a target feeling deeply sorrowful and distressed, as if their heart has just been broken. This can last between two and ten minutes, with shorter times being able to pack more intensity. This could stave off an attacker (including monsters) as the emotional turmoil would be distracting.
• Pathokinesis Immunity 
Harvey is immune to emotional powers and magical attempts of emotional manipulation.
• Animal Affinity 
All creatures tend to be naturally friendly to Harvey.
Weapons: None yet.

HISTORY

Tommy and Harvey were born out of a brief liaison between the goddess Aphrodite and a young man living in London. Said young man was not keen on raising a baby, let alone two, and despite his (vaguely) valiant efforts for a short first part of their lives, he ended up giving the boys up into care. They were eventually adopted by a couple when they were just under 2 years old: Alan and Veronica Hartley.
Despite periods of fluctuating financial insecurity, the boys had a fairly standard and stable childhood. They were never that much alike, as far as identicalness goes, both growing to value and develop their own individuality.
At age 15, a development in employment led to the family moving to America. Strange things started occurring with increasing intensity, and only recently have they been made aware of their true heritage and introduced to their new home: Camp Half-Blood.

NOW

"What d'you wanna do now?" Tommy asks his brother as they leave the dining pavilion, having concluded their first breakfast at Camp Half-Blood since their arrival yesterday.
"I don't know," Harvey says, after an uncertain pause. He has, admittedly, been finding it somewhat harder than his twin to adjust to their new life. It feels like he's been forced into a set of clothes that don't fit, that itch and prickle with the surreal and incomprehensibly immense truth of his and his brother's origins — and, so it has been suggested — their uncomfortably likely monster-y ends. Tommy doesn't seem as bothered by these metaphorical new outfits they've been thrust into wearing, but then again, he's always liked getting new clothes.
"Come explore with me," Tommy suggests. He, for one, finds this strange new world exciting more than anything else. This place is like something out of a movie: a training camp for kids with magical powers? Goat people? Real-life swords? Cute girls living in rivers? He wants to find out more, wants to snoop around and see what else this place has to offer, and he also wants to meet people. Conveniently enough for that last part, the excitement of it all means that, unbeknownst to either twin, Tommy's aura power has been steadily activated; so he happens to be particularly eye-catching and magnetic right now.
Harvey's not so keen on immersing himself even further into the deep end they've been thrown into, at least not until he's had a little more time to adjust. "I don't feel like exploring right now," he says.
"You're so boring. Are you gonna go back to the cabin, then?" his brother asks, gesturing in a direction that is definitely not where the cabins are. Harvey instinctively pulls a face: it would be fair to say that one of the twins has taken to Cabin 10 more than the other.
"Well, what are you gonna do, then?" asks Tommy. "Just sit out here and mope?"
"I'm not going to mope. I don't mope."
"Yeah, you do," Tommy retorts. "You mope all the time. You're so mopey. You're a moped."
"Shut up," Harvey says. "Fine, I'll come explore with you for a bit," he concedes, if only to disprove the moping allegations. He's not sure what he'll do after — maybe break out the binoculars and scope out the local birdlife, something to re-centre himself a little.
"Alright, cool," Tommy says with a grin. "Where d'you wanna go first?"
OOC: You can interact with both of the twins while they explore camp together, Tommy (by himself) exploring camp on his own when Harvey leaves him, or Harvey (by himself) scoping out the local birdlife. You can assume that Tommy's aura power will be active upon meeting your character in whichever case. Thanks for reading :)

2024.05.16 22:53 GooseBitten [QCrit] Adult Sci-Fi Romcom, LONELY HUMAN (94k, 1st attempt)

Hey all!
I’ve been reading the posts here for a while and picked up some great tips, but I guess it’s time I jumped in myself. The hardest part was coming up with comps. For some reason there just doesn’t seem to be any lite sci-fi romcoms on the market, like Legends and Lattes but in the science fiction genre. I hope it’s because it’s an untapped market rather than a nonexistent one, but who knows. The closest I could get was something like “combines the trope twisting absurdity of John Scalzi’s Starter Villain, with the romantic humor of Hannah Maehrer’s Assistant to the Villain.” But having two comps with “Villain” in the title sounded weird. Any ideas or thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Dear [Agent’s Name],
Interacting with real people is so twenty-first century.
Hannah has everything an omega gen’er in the twenty-second century could want. A high paying marketing job she works from her apartment. A subscription for a grocery delivery service. A gorgeous android “Intimate” named Edward that cooks, cleans, and takes care of anything else she might need (the upgraded package was absolutely worth it).
But when a stranger dies and their Intimate just keeps living in their house like nothing happened, the Manufacturer calls on Hannah for damage control. There’s only one catch: She’ll have to interview an Intimate programmer.
In person.
Enter Seth, an Intimate programmer living across the hall. A guy so hard up for companionship, he spends most of his time hanging out with his meme-loving grandpa. When Seth finally gives up and buys an Intimate of his own, she’s everything he thinks he wants in a real relationship… except for the “real” part.
If Hannah wants to keep her job and her lifestyle, she’ll need to nail this interview. Unfortunately, with neither having functional social skills, their meeting is about as successful as Mark Zuckerberg’s book of erotic poetry. Yet after a mysterious update bricks their Intimates, Hannah finds herself starving and knocking on Seth’s door. What follows leads them both towards a type of relationship their generation’s avoided for ages:
The real kind.
Though just as Hannah and Seth struggle to discover why people do (and don’t) willingly spend time with other people, their Intimates inexplicably wake up.
And realize they have competition.
Entirely written by a human being with squishy parts and whatnot, LONELY HUMAN is a 94k word adult sci-fi romcom like The Love Hypothesis if it were written by John Scalzi (Starter Villain) or as an episode of Futurama, with hints of Westworld. [Brief Bio]. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
[My Name]

[Spoilers all] This is the Monomyth. The theory. - Third part (III)
Let's see what the Golden Grove is like. Let's try to understand what trees it actually consists of.
The forest in elven memory is not only green spaces intricately woven into tales for a sense of elven flavor. It is a symbol of lives.
Elves have their heroes, just as we do; they honor the Vallasdahlen—Life-Trees—of these legendary figures. Planted in remembrance of those who dedicated their lives to the Dalish kingdom, these trees grew into a mighty wood, a testament to the elves' force at their height.
Walk beneath the Vallasdahlen with reverence; remember that each of them once had a name”. —From In Pursuit of Knowledge: The Travels of a Chantry Scholar by Brother Genitivi Codex entry: Vallasdahlen.
"I hear that most humans in Orlais do not call this place by it's true name. They find it an inauspicious one and refer to the forest only as the Greatwood. They refuse to see anything but wood and moss and leaves, and hope to remain ignorant of the blood that was spilled. But we of the People remember. We feel the weight of what was lost, and we see, not trees, but lives given for freedom". —As told by Keeper Gisharel of the Ralaferin clan Codex entry: The Emerald Graves
An old elven tale The Rowan Grove told by Sarel a Dalish elf sitting at the campfire near Zathrian's aravel in the Dalish Camp:
This is elven legend according to which an unlucky hunter cut down a rowan tree in the forest to make bows. The bows were cursed due to the fact that the rowan tree was a receptacle for the spirit. The keeper asked other hunters to bring a rowan sapling to their camp to ask for forgiveness from the spirit and give it a new home.
“There was a terrible sound then, as if the whole forest were crying out in protest. Darkness fell upon the camp, though it was just past midday. And when the darkness passed, a rowan grove, every tree bearing the frozen face of a terrified elf, stood where the camp had been. From then on, it was forbidden in every clan to cut living trees in the Brecilian Forest. The spirits know nothing of forgiveness". —"The Rowan Grove: A Dalish Tale," from Ferelden: Folklore and History, by Sister Petrine, Chantry scholar Codex entry: The Brecilian Forest.
PCs of Dalish origin can obtain this Codex entry from a tree stump located the in Forest Clearing.
In Brecilian, perhaps the elves also planted trees for the sake of their fellow tribesmen. And maybe this stump also had a name once. When asked Grand Oak about elves living in the Brecilian Forest "It was the elves who planted the seeds, raised the forest, saw to its needs. But that was all...so long ago. That they are dead is all I know." In those places there were battles due to which the Veil became very thin. Probably many of the elves died at that time. But the forest remained after them.
However, a tree can be a symbol not only of a specific elf, but even of an entire People bound by common memory and traditions. The trees in elven culture do not reflect the naive Dalish tales with which the elves replaced memories of the soaring towers of Arlathan. These are ancient, not always fully understood, symbols of lives which were promised, which are remembered, that are part of something greater.
Sing for the past—where rests those who came before. For each knight, a seed was sown, roots twisting with their brothers and sisters. So theforestgrew, a reflection of our might.
Forget not the past—it is all that remains. For each knight, a seed was sown, roots twisting with their brothers and sisters. So the forest remains, a reflection of our sorrow. —Codex entry: The Emerald Knights
The Alienage in Edgehall and in Kirkwall.
https://preview.redd.it/aagb712bnt0d1.jpg?width=2135&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea3200d1c9765a4f9d922c8b11a3d1a5b4e17a17
This is how the roots of these trees are painted. It can be assumed in Vhenadahl many generations are intertwined into one People.
"Before the ages were named or numbered, our people were glorious and eternal and never-changing. Like the great oak tree, they were constant in their traditions, strong in their roots, and ever reaching for the sky.
But while our ancestors were caught up in the forever cycle of ages, drifting through life at what we today would consider an intolerable pace, the world outside the lush forests and ancient trees was changing".—The Fall of Arlathan, as told by Gisharel, Keeper of the Ralaferin clan of the Dalish elvesCodex entry: Arlathan: Part One
The world was changing, but the majority of elves did not want to change. They still hold on to their roots to this day. This is especially visible in the Dalish, who can be compared to a tree stump still has it roots, but no longer has it trunk and foliage, they have no home and no future. They see their future in their past.
City elves, on the other hand, do not hold on to their past enough, but still honor it in those symbols that they have not yet forgotten. It's getting more and more difficult though. But they have a home and a place where they can grow from their roots into the future. Although their present is sorrowful, they continue to reach for the sun. To a greater extent towards The human Sun.
Sera: My people just said the Inquisition should look at him.
Inquisitor: Your people? Elves?
Sera: Ha! No. People people.
"Mostly the old ways are gone. Each generation forgets a little more of the old tongue, a little more of the traditions. And the few things we keep become simple habits, the meaning long since faded.
So it is with the vhenadahl, the tree of the people. Every alienage has one, I'm told. Or they used to. When I was a little girl, my mother told me the tree was a symbol of Arlathan, but not even she knew more. Keeping the vhenadahl is just a habit, now. Many cities have let theirs wither and die, then chopped them up for firewood. No great loss". —Sarethia, Hahren of the Highever Alienage. Codex entry: Vhenadahl: The Tree of the People
From Old Elven Poetry.
Where Willows Wail (Roughly Translated):
We/it lost eternity or the ruined tree of the People,
Time won’t help when the land of dreams is no longer our journey.
We try to lead despite the eventual failing of our markings.
To the inevitable and troubling freedom we are committed.
When we could no longer believe, we lost glory to war.
When the Wolf failed/won, we lost the People to war. —Documented by minstrels assisting the University of Orlais in cataloguing folktales of Thedas; The WoT v.2 p.201
In the comic Dragon Age: Knight Errant, issue 1-2: Coran is uncle to Vaea and left the alienage to join a Dalish clan. He also counsels her not all humans are evil. The problem, he suggests, is humans are driven to change the world while elves are more likely to recognize they cannot and accept the world as it is. Attempting to change the world leads only to killing, or death.
When human cut down the tree of the People in the Alienage of Vaea, the city elves for some reason could not grow a new tree from a seedling of the old one. They waited for the Dalish to bring them this tree from the forest. It is the Dalish who believe they can one day teach their fellows how to be elves.
This must be the only reason. This is ordinary tree is often an oak, it can also be something else. It's not a special species of Vhenadahlus Vulgarium or anything like that.

"In time, the human empires will crumble. We have seen it happen countless times. Until then, we wait, we keep to the wild border lands, we raise halla and build aravels and present a moving target to the humans around us. We try to keep hold of the old ways, to relearn what was forgotten.
We gather every ten years for the Arlathvhen, to retell the ancient stories and keep them alive. For when the human kingdoms are gone, we must be ready to teach the others what it means to be elves". —Gisharel, Keeper of the Ralaferin clan of the Dalish elves Codex entry: The Dalish Elves
There are also trees on the hills in the sacred cemetery of the elves in the Exalted Plains, Var Bellanaris, a wolves lie near their roots as guards. The trees look specially planted I think. Otherwise, they would not be located strictly in the center of the hills, but would have different locations. It doesn't look like these were the Emerald Knights buried here. Nevertheless, the wolves are here.
It’s not surprising, after all, Var Bellanaris "Our Eternity" in Elvish. And there is a guardian who can save a statue under streams of water or an ancient temple, or something else that has been untouched by time for many centuries and millennia. There he is in the right place. He remembers.

He is like the spirits of the old forest, where the Veil is thin, who remember for centuries what happened in this place a long time ago.
In The Three Trees to midnight by Patrick Weekes, it is mentioned Strife used the name ghosts for the spirits of Arlathan Forest because Irelin told him that they remembered what was here. This is mentioned immediately after the elf drove away the spirit was pursuing Myrion.
This is what the Arlathan Forest looks like from the spirits' place.
https://preview.redd.it/v1iy1w6agu0d1.jpg?width=1846&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0611c113074c459d3668e477503c0f5174c57ac
Old lives and deaths woven into the roots of ancient trees in a faded gray space. Who remembers them now except the spirits? And do even the spirits remember these roots?
Their lives, their promises, their sacrifices, their legacy.
I believe all symbolism this helps to understand what kind of trees grow in the Golden Grove in which the Hunter from legend met with Something beyond.

2024.05.16 21:57 ShowerGrapes Senators Moonwalk into the Future, Armed with Laser Pointers and Neural Net-Powered Pogo Sticks

https://apnews.com/article/artificial-intelligence-ai-investment-congress-millions-8f3a051faadc50d2366e8a88a69c5470
Here’s a concise summary of the article titled “Senators urge $32 billion in emergency spending on AI after finishing yearlong review”:
A bipartisan group of four senators, led by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, recommends that Congress allocate at least $32 billion over the next three years to develop artificial intelligence (AI) and establish safeguards around it. The senators emphasize the need to “harness the opportunities and address the risks” of rapidly advancing AI technology. Their report includes policy recommendations such as boosting U.S. investments in AI research, enhancing transparency, and studying the impact of AI on jobs and the workforce.
can you talk a bit about the implications of this?
Certainly! The proposed $32 billion emergency spending on artificial intelligence (AI) by Congress has significant implications for various aspects:
  1. Technological Advancements: Increased funding can accelerate AI research, development, and deployment. This investment may lead to breakthroughs in areas such as natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics.
  2. Economic Growth: A robust AI ecosystem can drive economic growth by fostering innovation, creating jobs, and enhancing productivity. The U.S. aims to remain competitive globally by investing in AI capabilities1.
  3. National Security: The Department of Defense’s (DoD) investment in AI contracts reflects the importance of AI in military applications. Enhanced AI capabilities can improve defense strategies, autonomous systems, and cybersecurity2.
  4. Ethical and Regulatory Challenges: As AI adoption grows, policymakers must address ethical concerns, bias, privacy, and transparency. Congress needs to strike a balance between promoting AI innovation and safeguarding against potential risks3.
  5. Workforce Impact: AI adoption may disrupt certain job markets while creating new opportunities. Congress should consider reskilling programs and policies to mitigate workforce displacement3.
  6. International Cooperation: The U.S. must collaborate with other nations to set global standards for AI governance. Leadership in AI ethics and norms is crucial to prevent misuse and promote responsible AI4.
In summary, the proposed investment can propel AI advancements, but policymakers must carefully navigate challenges to ensure responsible and beneficial AI deployment.
make it zanier
Certainly! Let’s crank up the zaniness to 11 and dive into the whimsical world of AI-fueled absurdity. 🚀
Title: “Congress Unleashes $32 Billion for AI: Robot Dance Battles and Quantum Socks!”
Subtitle (because why not?): “Senators Moonwalk into the Future, Armed with Laser Pointers and Neural Net-Powered Pogo Sticks”
In a parallel universe where senators wear propeller hats and debate policy while riding unicycles, the halls of Congress echo with the clatter of mechanical keyboards and the occasional burst of interpretive dance. Yes, my friends, it’s the AI Renaissance, and Uncle Sam is throwing down some serious cash for the future of artificial intelligence.
Picture this: Senator Chuck Schumer, bedecked in a neon-green lab coat, stands before a giant chalkboard covered in equations. His mission? To allocate $32 billion for AI research, but with a twist. Forget boring pie charts and line graphs—this budget proposal is written in limericks and haikus. 📊🎩
Senator Limerick #1:
There once was a senator named Lou, Whose love for AI was quite true. He said, "Let’s fund the bots, Teach 'em quantum physics and lots, And maybe they’ll write poetry too!"
Meanwhile, Senator Cynthia, armed with a pocket-sized quantum computer, proposes a line item for “Quantum Socks.” Yes, you read that correctly. These socks, infused with subatomic particles, promise to keep your feet warm in multiple dimensions. 🧦🌌
Senator Cynthia’s Quantum Sock Sales Pitch:
"Step into the future, my friends! Our socks defy space-time bends. They’ll keep your toes cozy, While you surf parallel seas, And dance the Cha-Cha with quarks and quends!"
But wait, there’s more! Senator Bob, wearing a propeller beanie and roller skates, insists on investing in AI-powered pogo sticks. Imagine bouncing to work, your pogo stick analyzing traffic patterns and composing personalized jingles about your morning coffee. ☕🎶
Senator Bob’s Pogo Stick Anthem:
"Up and down, up and down we go, On our AI pogo sticks, don’t you know? They’ll calculate the hops, Predict lunar flip-flops, And shout, ‘Quantum leap!’ as we soar through the rainbow!"
And so, my fellow Redditors, as Congress debates the merits of robot dance battles and neural net-generated knock-knock jokes, we can’t help but wonder: Is this madness or genius? Either way, buckle up, because the AI revolution just got a whole lot zanier! 🤖🎉
Feel free to share this with the Circuit Keepers subreddit, and may your quantum socks always match your enthusiasm! 😄🌈

2024.05.16 20:27 Daldric Nothing challenges me and I refuse mediocrity

I find myself going in to these depressive spouts. The lack of competition in my environment feels like it wastes me away. I want to fight, I want to win, I want to feel something. Nothing is sink or swim anymore all of the attacks on my attention daily are like annoying fighting game moves, they're unfair. They don't engage me face to face they make me have to respect them but I cannot punish them. In a fight if someone leg kicks you over and over again you can check them. You can predict, evade, push the advantage.
Life is just checking leg kicks until the buzzer runs out.
I fucking hate that I have no pride in my system. I don't have an ancestry, a bloodline, I don't have anything to be proud of. I'm the last male of my name and I see no reason for us to make it in this new generation and I hate that.
I want to wear my pride, my love, my obsession on my chest. I want to show the world who I am, what made me, the pain, the happiness, the sorrow, the fall and the rise
I want to throw my weight around, I want to make space to breath, I want to fight back.
I obsess over this idea. It's all I want, all I strive for. I have no idea how to obtain it or if I really even can. When I ask for advice I only received ridicule, push back, and sarcastic insults for wanting to believe in something so absolutely.
But here I am. 22 with a decent job living in a beautiful town, no crime, no hate, no struggle. No one knows me, I have no one left, I am alone. The loneliness doesn't really get to me but what does is the complacency of people around me. I don't hate them for choosing that path, actually I'm envious I wish I could. Something deep within me is infuriated with that path. The path of bland happiness.
Some say it's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.
I feel like a savage in the biggest garden in the world. I have none of the peace associated with great soldiers who combatted many and settled down.
I have all the rage of a brand new recruit but during a time of peace.
What sucks even more is I do strive for things. I push myself a decent degree but within everything I always stall out. Video games I get stuck at a skill level, with guitar I can't seem to make anything creative, poetry, writing, cooking, they're all wastes of time because I just stall out.
Do any of you feel remotely the same

2024.05.16 19:12 drewj3james Ghostly Magic System

So I've posted a lot of times on this subreddit, and a part of that is because I haven't fully fleshed out the details of my world; I had a basic idea of what I wanted my world to look like, the types of magic I wanted to be there, and the world in which I wanted that magic to occur. I'm someone who likes grinding down on my magic system until it makes sense, so I haven't really been able to focus on writing my actual story, although in fairness I've tied up a few plot threads. Now, I think I have a genuine final product and can actually start writing my story. So here it goes.
FUNDAMENTALS
The three fundamental forces in my universe are Dream, Spark, and Sacrifice. Dream is the product of the underworld, Sacrifice resides in the domain of the living, and Spark is the energy that binds and separates the two worlds. I'm very fascinated by the idea of making a sacrifice, or the spilling of blood in many cases, being necessary for dreams to come true.
Dream, in this context, is imagination, memory, past, future, desire, fear, all that does not yet exist but existed or has the potential to exist. The fuel of Dream is memory, because a dream that is not remembered, even subconsciously, is one that ceases to exist, and Dream tends to absorb memory.
Sacrifice, in this context, has a more neutral meaning than we're used to; it only means a change in the mortal realm, mental or physical, that initiates the coming to life of a dream. Think of a mother, who sacrifices or is made to sacrifice her body for 9 months to give birth to the dream of a child, the possibility made real by the change in the mother's physical circumstance. Or an empire; someone dreamed of it, but they needed to spill blood to bring it into fruition. The blood and death, not the action, is the sacrifice, and that sacrifice brings life to a dream.
Spark, broadly, is energy. From a metaphysical perspective, it is the energy that carries out a sacrifice and, using that sacrifice, brings Dream into existence. Two people needed to perform the action of intercourse for the mother who gives birth to a child to have made a sacrifice; the act of intercourse induces the sacrifice, which is the state of pregnancy. To go back to the empire example, you need to perform the act of stabbing or shooting a bunch of people, or if you're not into all out war, the act of slitting the throat of the king, for instance. The act induces the sacrifice, which is death, which enables the dream to come true. But more broadly, spark is literally energy, the force that makes the planet move, the sword to swing, the fire to burn.
The child of Dream and Spark is Will. Will is consciousness, the ability to make something happen, to manipulate energy to accomplish a purpose, to make the dream come true.
The combination of all three, Dream, Spark, and Sacrifice, is what creates life, a physical manifestation of the Will; this is what makes life special above all other things. When in your physical body, the Will is bound by that body because the body created by Dream, Spark, and Sacrifice creates a barrier that the Will cannot cross, which is why almost no one can manipulate energy on their own. Once you die, you either cross into the Underworld, the land of dreams, or a Sacrifice in the form of emotional connection interacts with the Will to block it from returning to the Underworld, binding you to the Mortal Realm, making you a ghost, a will that exists in the Mortal Realm but without a physical body usually cannot perceive the world except for other Wills, trapping spirits stuck in the Mortal Realm in their own memories unless they can use the body of another as a host.
The exception to the binding of the Will to the body is through Dream; when you dream, your Spark transfers your will to the Underworld, where all dreams live. Spark has a natural magnetism towards the Underworld, and the Will has a natural attraction to Spark, meaning when you're asleep, Spark is no longer bound by consciousness and is able to take the Will to its natural home before waking. As I said before, dreams are fueled by memory, so when you dream, the Underworld is slowly taking memories from you until you wake up, meaning that most people forget most of what they dream about.
The Mortal and Immortal Realms are separated by a substance in the air known as Valin Steel, which has the effect of cancelling out any binding effect of a sacrifice, detaching Spark energy from the physical form it is bound to, causing it to by default return to the Immortal realm. When Spirits are summoned from the Immortal Realm to the Mortal Realm, that creates a disturbance which causes Valin Steel particles to form into visible chunks of a metallic substance stronger than normal steel. Valin Steel is particularly dangerous because of its combustibility, with only a small amount of exposure to fire being sufficient to cause explosions that can level neighborhoods if not cities with just a few pounds of material.
One other reaction is that of the Will interacting with the physical world. The Will generates Spark, and when it is not bound to a physical body but is still bound to the Mortal Realm, that Spark, when a spirit uses it to manipulate the Mortal world, sinks into and irradiates any material under it, which creates a substance called Emanation, which contains certain levels of Spark, which means it can be combined with other ingredients to induce specific magical effects when the solution makes contact with something; Emanation is thus the basis for all magical potions.
MAGIC
As I said, the Will of a living being cannot cross past or alter that body, but when a living thing dies, while most go to the Underworld, some are trapped here, without a body to bind the Will. Unbound, a spirit's Will allows them manipulate the Spark, and this forms the source of all magic in this world; the key to using magic, therefore, is developing some type of relationship or having a pre-existing relationship with a spirit. Without any sacrifice, spirits can use telekinesis, lightning generation and manipulation, and thermokinesis. Because Spark forms the basis of cognition, spirits can enter your brain and steal your thoughts and memories, share thoughts and memories by imparting them to the being they're passing through, essentially able to impart "suggestions" that, in their strongest form, can act as a form of hypnosis.
Spirits can also briefly possess creatures, but bodies are generally not equipped to handle two sparks in a single host. A spirit possessing a body would cause every part of that body to want to move, and having two sparks in one body can end up killing the host because without constant movement the extra spark ends up just absorbing oxygen from the air for stimulation. This is why when possession occurs it is usually only for brief periods, like a minute or so. The exception is if people learn certain war dances which allow them to use their whole bodies, they can be possessed, therefore possessing the power of spirits, for a much longer time; they have to keep dancing to maintain the stability, and this form of magic use has given birth to multiple martial arts styles based on encircling and constantly barraging your opponent; some of the arts are called Sand-Dancing, Water-Dancing, and Mud-Dancing, all based on using bouts of telekinesis to quickly harness easy to manipulate materials to overwhelm opponents (the inspiration for these martial arts styles would be Capoeira; Capoeira is extremely effective and allows for constant movement).
So the biggest fuel for my magic system is the issue of perception. Most people can't remember visiting the Underworld, most people can't see beyond their bodies, most people cannot see ghosts in the Mortal Realm, and most ghosts cannot see the Mortal Realm because they don't have a physical body with which they can perceive. This creates a situation where, while anyone can use magic because most people can develop some type of connection with spirits, it is difficult in practice for most to do so.
But some people are born with, or in rare cases develop, a unique bond with dream, giving them some or all of these abilities. Really creatives, people with certain mental disorders, or people born from uniquely difficult circumstances that required sacrifice, usually on the part of the mother, that is greater emotionally or physically than what would otherwise be expected, are more connected to Dream, and are therefore more able to perceive it beyond just their physical senses. This represents around 10% of the population; a strong sign of one of these abilities is lucid dreaming, because it means you are able to navigate the Underworld while not having your memories stolen, meaning you can essentially access the dream world whenever you sleep, or if you're trained whenever you want. Seeing spirits in the mortal realm is rare; around 2% of people have the ability, and it's really useful because spirits have the ability to manipulate energy but can't perceive the world around them, meaning that you can make a deal with a spirit for them to lend you their services in exchange for lending your body to them. Another rare ability is astral projection, which comes hand in hand with the ability to perceive the Mortal Realm as a spirit because both involve the ability to perceive the world beyond your physical body. So these ghosts, unlike others, are under normal circumstances essentially autonomous because they can perceive the world around them, meaning they can interact with the world without the constraints of a physical body. These are usually the deadliest types of spirits.
In order to change the nature of something, you need a sacrifice and a spirit must provide the spark necessary to activate that sacrifice. There are three different types of sacrifices:
  1. White Sacrifices, which are made by causing mental anguish or connection. This sacrifice is necessary for two purposes; to create and bind someone to a magical oath which makes it so such an oath cannot be broken as long as the person bound to the oath remains bound, or to create a magical bond between two or more beings, allowing those bonded with each other to communicate telepathically, to perceive events through each other’s eyes, to share memories, and when one dies, to share a living body.
  2. Red Sacrifices, which are made simply by spilling blood. This sacrifice is necessary to transform the physical form of one thing into another form. For instance, to transform an inanimate object into another inanimate object, one must coat that object with their own blood, and have a spirit activate that blood sacrifice by using their spark. Typically, Red Sacrifices involve shedding one’s own blood to change their physical form; when Red Sacrifices are activated, their form changes. When transforming into a form larger than themselves, the spell will cause a person to absorb the soft matter (water, sand, dust, mud, etc.) around them to gain mass, and when transforming into a form smaller than themselves, they shed mass in the form of “Formsand”, which they can then use to transform into their original form. This sacrifice can be permanently imbued as an ability to change into a specific form and back using tattoos made from emanation; the process of tattooing spills the blood necessary for a blood sacrifice, and the specific ingredients, the placement of the ink, and the Will of the tattooer and the tattooed determine the specific form they turn into. Descendants of those who shape shift inherit some of the characteristics of the altered forms of their parents.
    1. Some animals have also evolved ways of using Red Sacrifices to give themselves enhancements, such as the ability to breathe fire.
  3. Black sacrifices, which are made by taking a life. This sacrifice is necessary to bind spirits of the dead to a physical form. The target spirit can perform or activate the sacrifice, but if the target spirit is one that the magic user wishes to control, another spirit has to make and activate the sacrifice. This can be used for a variety of purposes, including permanently binding spirits to a physical object and forcing it to do the bidding of the user, and permanently binding a spirit to a dead corpse, giving them new life in a new body.
Spellcasting is the act of giving spirits you are bound to instructions to perform an action. Basically, spirits recognize certain words as commandments to perform an action based on what they've learned; the more people that recognize a specific word as a specific command, the more potent that spell becomes. Spellcasting in the context of telepathic acts is often performed with songs or poetry, with certain phrases being used as a form of hypnotism as the melodic effect coincides with the spirits placing ideas in your head; this also happens to act as a sort of work-around to the requirement of possession for mind control because the spirit doesn't need to channel their energy through the whole body, just the mind, and they don't need to completely enter the person's body to influence them; this allows some magic users to cross the line from hypnotism into genuine mind control.
EDIT: PHENOMENA
Mycelium (interconnected fungal tissue that connects trees in a forest to each other) has the effect of acting as an anchor for spirits of the dead whose bodies perish near it. To start at the beginning of the development of the sentience of a forest, let's say that a spirit or spirits die in a forest without any preexisting network due to a traumatic incident are bound to that forest. So unlike in most instances, the Will is able to travel amongst the mycelium network, and at this point there's just a small ability to perceive the outside world because the mycelium network combines with the Will to detect vibrations. But more wills are necessary to develop a sentience that can respond to the world around it, and the Will still can more easily perceive other Wills. So when other creatures die in the forest, that little bit of spark can use those deaths as a blood sacrifice binding more and more spirits to the mycelium network, allowing different sparks to coordinate, share memories and connection, strengthen the conscious and sensory aspects of the mycelium network. After a while, enough Wills and enough intelligence, memory and experience is integrated into a single network for it to develop consciousness. And so many forests in this world are living, sentient beings; the mycelium connecting all the plant life in the forest functions as a neural network, far more expansive than any human mind.
And so because of this phenomenon, living creatures who die in a forest, both humans and animals, are integrated into the mycelium network of the forest they died in, and must work to preserve and protect it. Because all Spirits can utilize Will but are subservient to the will of the forest they died in, forests can utilize vast amounts of Will. Spirits of those who die in the forest are known as "Guardians," and within the forest they are bound to the area they died in, and they become the Guardians of that area; for instance within a forest, the spirit of a creature who died in a river will become a Guardian of that river, and the spirit of a creature who died near a tree will become a guardian for that tree. Guardians interact with each other and can share their thoughts and knowledge with each other, and all their thoughts, knowledge and memories are known to the forest. Guardians act as enforcers of the will of the forest and must act in accordance with the forest's will regardless of their own desires. Guardians can perceive the world by possessing the animals within the forest. Different forests have different levels of mycelium connectivity, and rainforests are more connected than other forests.
Some people and intelligent animals are born with a trait allowing them to literally transform their bodies into Will and back, which allows them to become intangible; these people are called Wraiths. While intangible, Wraiths cannot breathe, so imagine being able to walk through walls but having to hold your breath every time to do so. Whenever Wraiths turn intangible normal clothes phase through them, so they need to wear a special type of cloth made from pure emanation; this fabric is light and so loose that it constantly flows.
So in almost every case, as stated before, a living body can only hold one spark. The extremely rare phenomena known as Hectanera, is the birth of a person born with two sparks bound to one body, stems from the sexual union between two people, both fully possessed by spirits during the act; this is extremely dangerous because most people can't be possessed by a spirit for that long with a relatively limited set of movements you can do. This act has to create a White Sacrifice between the two partners based on performing that extreme action. Even then, most of these result in stillbirths, as to be born, the mother of the Hectanera must die during childbirth (although her life may be spared if the father dies during the pregnancy), creating the Red and Black Sacrifices necessary to birth a form with two sparks.
Hectanera are the only beings in the world with the ability to use magic without the assistance of Spirits, effectively able to use telekinesis and generate electricity whenever they want to, and can also independently activate sacrifices to change the form of something or create a bond. But more than that, the effect of having two sparks in a single body increases the power of their magic exponentially, to the point where some have been rumored even to be able to move mountains.
Hectanera also do not age, as they are partially created from Dream. While a Hectanera's ability to use magic can be nullified by Valin Fire, the Spark within a body is self-sustaining, so Valin Fire merely has the effect of dimming that spark until it slowly regenerates, meaning that only constant exposure to large amounts of Valin Fire can truly defeat a Hectanera.
The Rizadari has never been seen; it is more so a prophecy. Theoretically, there is another way to use magic without the aid of spirits; by having a spirit get a human to willingly be possessed by it, then tricking that human by permanently attaching itself to the human's living body by having another spirit activate a black sacrifice, and, if the spirit's will is strong enough, the spirit's Will completely obliterates that of the host, separating Spark and Dream permanently and giving that spirit a new life in the possessed body, with all of the memories and knowledge of that the former owner of the body had. Because this new body holds two sparks, it has all of the same powers as the Hectanera. This change is permanent, and once this form of possession has been achieved, it can never be undone; in fact, it's better to destroy the body so that its original owner can no longer be stuck in the body and pass on to the Underworld.

Throwback Thursday: Straight from the Tortured Lawyer’s Apartment
Get in losers, we’re going to the Big Apple! Today, we visit the smuggest diarist who ever lived. Biodynamic wine, Walt Whitman poetry, rich people waxing poetic about how the poor people are treated - this diary has it all.
I really try to find something positive to say about each diary and I’ll start by saying I think it’s wonderful how much meaningful time OP and her wife spend together. Now, I’m going to be mean.
OP writes like she and her partner are the only people who work corporate jobs and that she has to explain to the proletariat what it means to be in an Important Job and live in NY. The way she writes just rubs me the wrong way. Even on my re-reads, I couldn’t shake the overall tone of superiority that is threaded in various entries. Even the way she described “Dark” was irritating. She wasn’t watching some obscure German show she found on Netflix, it was a popular and decently promoted show!
This is another OP I would have loved background on! She states that their net worth is north of $1mil and that her Dad is a first-generation immigrant. I would have liked to see what that was like! Did her parents sacrifice in order for her to attend law school?
My final thought is a simple one: I still don’t know what biodynamic wine is.
As always, let me know your thoughts and send your recs!
Also I thought it would be fun to bring back a game that was sometimes played in the comments - what is an aspect of your life that you would get flamed over in the comment section of an MD? I’ll go first - I do almost all the cooking and cleaning in my house and my husband hardly helps. I do not care one bit that he doesn’t really do chores.
