You think I'm organized enough to think the whole thing through before I post something?! Heck no! Write something brilliant, post it, and pray you can keep it going for a while.
“how do you plot / plan your book?” very bold of you to assume i do that.

It's very funny once you notice it, but most of the time when people start complaining about localization, they hit talking points like "oh the translator changed things, the lines have a different vibe in English"
Yeah man, first of all it's in English instead of Japanese, a change in content and vibes is like... if you get pedantic enough about what "meaning" is, you can argue almost anything is a change.
Saw a thread complaining about Unicorn Overlord's demo, in regards to translation. Which is fucking absurd, it's got some of the most delightful English prose in a game in a while.
Lots of fantasy games tend to get flowery purple prose in English, but UO manages to sound clear and naturalistic despite it. Made us feel like we were playing Final Fantasy 12, instead of Octopath Traveler - that is to say, the prose feels purposeful and authentic, rather than just doing it for the sake of doing it.

Uncle Arundel, before being body-snatched, spearheaded the Insurrection of the Seven, with Vestra and Aegir iirc.
Given how he made sure to secure Supreme Leader and Anselma to Faerghus, aka a place Ionius would never be able to reach (since apparently he can waltz in Leicester, experiment on members from an important house, and return home without any consequences).
Now, we know the Insurrection started because Ionius wanted to centralise power on himself, and remove privileges accorded to the consort kin like... Volkhard himself (who's the bro of a consort). I already mentionned how those privileges were most likely checks to prevent Ionius from, uh, seducing a woman, then throwing her away thus ruining both her and her family - given how Volkhard spirited Anselma and Supreme Leader away, was he afraid for their safety... at Ionius' hands?
We won't know, because the Supreme narrative paints the Insurrection as "fatso's falt daddy did nothing wrong" and Fodlan is not interested in telling the truth about said insurrection (Vestra Sr is killed off-screen in both games, when Leopold'n'Waldemar don't even mention said Insurrection at all in Nopes) so we're left with fog...
But from what this fog seems to appear, it looks like Volkhard, before being Agarthan'd, was someone who wanted to protect his family, even if it meant challenging Ionius himself and seeking help in Faerghus.
As for what Supreme Leader would think of him... since Daddy's the Greatest Ever, Volkhard was trash to take her away, and even if he did it for her sake, I supposed she'd adopt some "Hubert in his Hanneman support" reasoning and call him trash, or either don't care, because her path and blah blah blah so Volkhard should never have turned against Ionius.
Cornelia seemed to have been someone who genuinely wanted to help people and did so, before being Cleo'd which is why, despite doing, uh, Cleobulus things, we still have people following her.
Tomas was indeed recommanded by House Ordelia, then returned to Ordelia around the time Ionius sent his besties there for science, and returned as Solon.
Tomas was supposed to be a kind librarian and all - and Solon at least pretended to be that "kind Tomas" because Cyril mentions once iirc that Tomas was always kind to him and gave him sweets or something?
Granted, given how we see Tomas try to suggest that Church BaD bcs the Immaculate One and Cardinals exist... Solon-Tomas' acts of kindness ultimately had another objective in mind.
But yeah, post game(s) no one cares about the real Cornelia, Volkhard or Tomas (or Monica but... Nopes kind of soured her to some people) and it's kind of sad that their names and legacy is thrown in the mud because of what the Agarthan did while wearing/using their bodies, but hey, it's not like someone knows about the bodysnatching or how Agarthans change their appearances and could have told people that those people weren't the same people as the hosts they've hijacked.
Shaking everything like you don't understand I hate how 3H does not CARE about the people who the Agarthans took the place of !!! I hate that no one grieves for Arundel, Cornelia or Tomas !!! I hate that all that will be remembered of them is their desecrated corpses moved around like puppets and vomiting the worst shit known to man because the Agarthans do not care !!! Even the ones who do some sliver of effort to act in a similar manner to the ones they stole the identity for !!!!
Arundel was probably truly one of the rare person who cared for Edelgard and no one will know it because he's DEAD and THALES took his place !!!! This is fucking insane to me !!!!!!!

Okay your jock turns competitive eater fic has me imagining like, Jock Derek who pisses off his teammates and they decide to punish him by fattening him up…but maybe they go a little too far.
The 2 clear options- 1) ops- unrealistic weight gain now he’s too fat to leave the locker rooms and someone is gonna notice or 2) now we have a slobby jock on our hands making our team lose bc it’s distracting
Either way…I think Derek makes a proud mascot for the the Fighting Hogs
1) the entire team pins Derek down in the locker room and all decide- it’s the holiday. Derek told his family he was staying at school, no one is going to look for him. So every day over the summer, the members of the team come in and start feeding him.
Doesn’t take too long before Derek has accepted he can’t get out and seems to relish his job as the new team pig. Starts from having to push the door in his face to Derek eagerly opening his mouth and eating whatever is near.
“M-more!” Derek burps.
“We wanted to teach him a lesson! He’s enjoying it too much.”
They go from burgers and junk food to pouring weight gain shakes down his throat- even laugh and start holding out entire sticks of butter for him to eat.
Derek eats it all without complaining, tied to the bench in the locker room his belly has started to swell to his knees. “I-I’m shtill ...*nff*... hungry!”
One day they forget- leave the pump forcing shake into him running for 2 days on end.
They come back and Derek has broken the bench, ass now the width of the bench, belly resting on his knees. Derek looks like he’s a state of immense pleasure and groans when they take the tube out of his mouth.
“I ...*blurrrRPPP*... wasn’t ...*pruurRPP*... l d-done ...*burrRRPP*...
Takes the entire team to haul Derek to his feet but they have nowhere to carry him…and how do they explain they pumped their teammate with so many calories all summer he turned into a blob of lard?
So they keep him in the locker room and keep feeding him, Derek’s stomach growling can be heard in the gym if he’s not kept at “ready to burst” levels of full at all time. Even with the entire team/ it becomes their punishment, having to keep Derek fed
(Eventually, the coach comes back after the summer and opens the door to the locker room and is knocked back by part if Derek’s belly exploding out it…)
2) The team know Derek has an ego- so they start bragging and betting “you can’t eat all that!” And soon beer chugging in the locker room and “finishing these dozen tacos or this party size pizza or this bag of burgers” Become the norm.
Before long Jock Derek is ruined- his team keeps him drunk and stuffed all day, he can’t stop the burps that escape his lips or the explosive farts from his other end. He still tries to work out- but never lasts long and the team always makes sure he chugs enough shakes to make up for lost calories.
He gets too lazy to shower after practice or a game….
Their end of season game they announce the team and Derek comes waddling on the field, uniform pants split open and only hanging on by. Thread around the waistband, uniform jersey so sweat stained and food covered it looks like a different color entirely- rising up like a sports bra over his belly.
Derek sits on the bench stuffing himself with chili cheese dogs, gassy as anything as his team sits further and further away. He goes in the game for 2 minutes- is already sweating uo a storm trying to get into the field.
The team loses. Dejected…they go back into the lockers rooms and take out the stress by pouring beer into Derek until he looks like a tick ready to pop.
“D-Did ...*BRRRPPpp*... ...*frPPp*... we ...*Buuuuuuaaaep*... win?”

Can I ask about your quilting method? For i want to get into quilting, and thus habe done a little research on that, and nothing I've deen reslly matches uo to your designs. Your work is really the sort of thing I want to emulate, and I think I understand how it is that you have your quilt tops made, but the attachment, the batting, the backs, those really dont look like anything ive been able to find in my research (as in, the eay I see it, it looks like you sew batting top and backing together at the edges, but that cant be it cause thats not what quilting looks like and im confused) and thus I figured (and I really dont mean to come of as rude or judgemental of your work, im just new and curious) id just ask: how do you make your quilts?
Hi! You don't come across as rude or judgemental, don't worry. When quilting, first I piece the quilt top, which means sewing all the pieces together until it makes the finished design of the quilt top. Sometimes I also have to piece the quilt backing, to make a single piece of fabric big enough. Next, I assemble the quilt sandwich. I rarely show photos of this step or the next, because they are kinda hard to photograph, which might be part of the confusion? The quilt sandwich is the backing fabric, laid right side down, the batting, and then the quilt top laid right side up. I pin the layers of the sandwich in place, take them to my sewing machine, and usually use a quilting method called "stitch the ditch". Stitching the ditch means following the lines of seams on the quilt top, which makes the quilting almost invisible on the quilt top. It's still visible on the quilt back, but I pick thread colors that blend into the quilt back as much as possible. The quilting can be an accent to the pattern of the quilt, but I do all my quilting on my sewing machine, which is small and difficult to use for any quilting more complicated than straight lines of squiggles, so mine is usually pretty easy not to see. It is still there! I still quilt the whole quilt The bit you see at the edges is where I sew the binding down. You can handsew the binding to make the stitches less visible (or not visible at all), but by the time I reach the binding step I am usually too excited to have the quilt finished to want to take the time to hand sew If you have any other questions, I am happy to talk about quilting! Or any other craft I do

A More Realistic Artificial Skin May Lead to Medical Advances - Technology Org
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/a-more-realistic-artificial-skin-may-lead-to-medical-advances-technology-org/
A More Realistic Artificial Skin May Lead to Medical Advances - Technology Org
A new bioengineered skin model could improve testing of skincare products and lead to better ways to heal damaged skin.

University of Oregon researchers have teamed up with scientists with the French personal care company L’Oréal to develop a multilayered artificial skin that more accurately mimics real human skin, and can be grown in just 18 days. The advance relies on a novel 3D printing technique invented by Paul Dalton, an associate professor in the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact at the UO. 
The research was published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials.
“This is the first known case of replicating quality skin tissue at full thickness, using different kinds of cells separated by a membrane,” said Ievgenii Liashenko, a research engineer in Dalton’s lab. 
Creating an artificial skin isn’t as simple as growing cells in a petri dish. Real skin has multiple layers, with different kinds of cells that perform distinct functions. And in the body, cells are supported by an external network of proteins and other molecules. Called the extracellular matrix, this system helps cells stay in position and communicate with their neighbors, which is key to keeping all systems working properly.
To replicate this complex environment, the researchers designed a two-layered artificial skin, with the layers separated by a membrane.

Researchers from Dalton’s lab and L’Oréal co-developed plastic scaffolds that mimic the extracellular matrix via a network of finely structured 3D printed threads. Then, L’Oréal researchers grew cultured cells in those scaffolds to create the artificial skin, with different cell types growing in each layer. The membrane prevents the cells in the different layers from mixing as they develop. 
“Other attempts don’t have the same layering—it actually looks like real skin,” said Dalton, who is the Bradshaw and Holzapfel Research Professor in Transformational Science and Mathematics.
The underlying scaffolds resemble a mesh material made of many spaghetti-like threads, each much thinner than a human hair. To make the porous scaffold, members of Dalton’s team used a 3D printing technique they’ve developed called melt electrowriting. In that technique, an electric field pulls the molten printing plastic from a nozzle into a thin thread, enabling very precise control over the printing.
Some 3D printing techniques can create very fine details, but only small objects, Dalton said.
Other techniques allow easy fabrication of larger pieces, but at the expense of resolution. Melt electrowriting bridges that gap, allowing engineers to create relatively large objects with fine details.
The new skin model can be grown in just 18 days, the researchers found, rather than the 21 to 35 days it took to create previous scaffold-based artificial skin models. That makes it more viable to use in commercial lab testing.
The final product. Image credit: University of Oregon
L’Oréal is currently using the artificial skin to test cosmetics and skin care products. Going forward, both Dalton’s team and L’Oréal researchers plan to explore the many other potential uses for the underlying scaffolding in skin tissue engineering.
Other potential skin-related applications include healing diabetic foot ulcers and creating skin grafts for burn patients. Beyond skin, the scaffolds developed by Dalton’s team could support myriad biomedical applications, such as artificial blood vessels and structures to help regrow damaged nerves. 
“While we’ve made this big advance with the skin, the design of the scaffold is crucial and could be applied more broadly,” Dalton said. “There are so many diseases and injuries in the world that aren’t being solved, so having an extra tool to try to tackle these is really valuable.”
The materials used in the scaffold are already FDA– approved for use inside the human body, making the path to real-world application smoother. 
The fabrication facilities at the Knight Campus make it possible for Dalton’s team to scale up production of the materials, Dalton said. “This is the part of the Knight Campus projecting its expertise beyond UO to influence state-of-the-art research fields globally.”

I finished the Unicorn Overlord demo, which in addition to the time limit does indeed cut off at a certain point. It was...alright.
The story and presentation is extremely standard as a veteran of FE, with the most interesting bit by far being that at the point the demo ends you're given a choice of one of two major story threads to follow. One is definitely set up to sound more immediately plot-relevant than the other, but I presume both will need to get done in the full story.
It's a real shame that the gameplay just isn't grabbing me at all. My YouTube subs want me to cover this game in some form or another, and unless UO is hiding something really fascinating down the line I'm dreading having to play the whole thing and then somehow turn it into interesting content.

we both know. it irritates him, the implication their knowledge of fiadh is anything even close to equal, but he keeps his cool. “fiadh is certainly more than capable of handling herself. but i do think i see things a little differently when it comes to matters of the heart. because my wife loves her court and wouldn’t let personal matters interfere unless there was some intersection that couldn’t be avoided. and while she might forgive a heartbreak for the greater good, i won’t. there is no greater good than her happiness.”
Tumblr media
"i respect your desire to protect her, but i do not think you need to worry about that. we both know fiadh would handle it herself. and that aside, i suspect my in-laws would kill me before you got the chance if i did something to even slightly jeopardize the safety of our court."

Okay new style thread but not exactly my style I’m just reviewing the sales but let’s be clear here this top is UO’s best work: but it’s sold out.
Tumblr media
No one laugh. Except me so I can feel special.
Okay now this in an xs is decadent. *folding clothes as a UO manager in script talking past the fourth wall in Ferris Bueller fashion* *frame pans over to the mannequin wearing it*
Tumblr media
Oh my God she killed it for me. This top is everything to me I will get statement pieces now. Holy shit this one is it especially to-size.
