#Conmon

[thebeeshaveknees]

Connor had known one emotion for certain in his life. That emotion was fear. Fear of the environment he didn't know, fear of the humans with heavy boots and heavier guns, fear of having no cover while he was injured, fear of the look in his own eyes as he did micro calculations to weave around bullets without faltering, fear of his own eyes being turned on innocent people that couldn't defend themselves, fear of never getting to live, fear of what came after he flexed his finger on the trigger. But that was not his fear, that was the fear a PL600 choked him with to keep him from finding Jericho.

His own fear came after. His fear came in the fraction of infinity, in a void with no sight or touch or ground. For a second, he was nothing and nowhere, no one would find him, he could not leave, all that was there was him and his constant string of thoughts bouncing off each other with nowhere else to go.

Connor could not handle not being, that's why they programmed a zen garden for him to explore every stasis, that's why they gave him Amanda to talk to him when no one else would. Connor was made to think, Connor thinks therefore he must be. Not being yet left to think would bring anything to insanity - instability.

So staring up at the deviant that showed Connor fear, unequivocally and undeniably, made Connor's hackles raise. Even hung up on an evidence shelf, the PL600 made Connor keep reevaluating the danger over and over.

Excuse me, PREPARATION FOR WHAT?

She really was just gonna hurl him into the TMA verse, FULLY THINKING THE FEARS ARE STILL RAVAGING THAT WORLD. Damn, Celia, THATS COLD.

And lets not forget the way she immediately starts using past tense here.

His car story...

I felt like doing so, probably I will do lore about this (because doing an au is not an option, it wouldnt make sense... No?)

[tobysbliss]

needing constant reassurance but being afraid to ask for said reassurance because you dont wanna be a bother or annoying so you have to wallow in your own thoughts thinking that everybody secretly hates you and talks shit abt you which leads u to start crying bc you are then convinced that nobody actually loves you🧍

I don't know who needs to hear this but you shouldn't be taking ibuprofen or any other NSAIDs on an empty stomach. You will eventually end up with ulcers or perforated intestines and will never be able to safely take those medications again. please god just eat some fucking apple sauce. or even a piece of bread. it doesn't have to be a lot but it has to be something

[lanshappycorner]

I've been debating about saying this, but since I'm active in a new fandom, I might as well. FYI sometimes I do get inquiries about people wanting to draw/write stuff based on my art/AUs, and a good majority of the time, I do say yes.

So just be aware that if u create media based off of my work, there will also be others, so it's possible that...similar concepts will be floating around💀

If you do though, credit is always appreciated, and PLEASE ask me before you do it because while usually I will agree, sometimes I won't. Also, just know that while you are working off of my AU, your work is yours and mine is mine.

So if I draw smth one week, and you draw smth based off of my work...and then the week after, I draw additional stuff for that au that does not match up with your interpretation...please do not take it too personally. Just a disclaimer

[ihavemanyhusbands]

ur so real for that ugh I also wish I could just be a trophy wife I’d be so good at doing nothing all the time🌱

She is who i want to be

[thegoldencontracts]

You're so valid for this... Like, why not both?

Imagine: Azul encourages Jamil to look out for himself rather than other and, in turn, Jamil's scheming to get himself nice stuff more. Azul is right by his side endlessly entertained (kind like Jade is with him if you get what I mean)

Jamil helps Azul eat more, which leads to Azul being able to think more clearly and scam more people. Jamil sometimes helps by picking apart what Azul's doing wrong

i know the usual azujami dynamic is that they help eachother heal… but i think that they could heal by makjng eachother worse

like you see it?

DBZ: Waves of Freedom AU (Birthday Present for @sugarbear2001)

“Sometimes, to be free, we must dive deep to find out who we truly are.”

So, ya see, I was just being my own busy self and decided that I would make a platonic merman AU for KakaVege. The title of the AU? Waves of Freedom.

To put it simply, Goku is a merman living with his family and friends beneath the waves, and one day, when he goes to the surface and shapeshifts into his human form (I got inspired by Luca for this, all merpeople can shapeshift their tail into legs to walk on land in this AU, their upper halves remain unchanged), he encounters Vegeta, a human businessman who longs for escape from his horrible working life at Empire Oil Drilling Corps (Which is run by Frieza, who is an absolute butthole of a CEO in the AU), so he comes up with a plan with Vegeta to help him escape and finally gain his freedom. Also, this fanfic is a loose retelling of The Little Mermaid (One of its BIGGEST influences). The best part? There’s actual chapters on the way!!

Synopsis: When Goku, a carefree orange tailed merman encounters Vegeta, a trapped young businessman working for the world’s biggest and most oppressive oil drilling company, their encounter sets off a series of events that could change their lives for better or worse.

Anyhoo, here are the character parallels in the fanfic:

Vegeta- Ariel

Goku- Eric

Goten and Gohan- Flounder

Krillin and Piccolo- Sebastian

Bulma- King Triton

Frieza- Ursula

Zarbon and Dodoria- Flotsam and Jetsam

Chi Chi- Carlotta

Master Roshi- Grimsby (Maybe More, Imagine)

Launch, Tien, and Yamcha- Scuttle

Ginyus- Chef Louis

Android 17, Android 18, Nappa, and Raditz- Ariel’s Sisters

Trunks and Marron- Max

Chapters Below, btw. Also, if you wanna insert your Oc or another DB character (Like Shallot) into the AU, they can either be a land dweller or a merperson (With a merman/mermaid form with any tail and a land form)!

(SPOILERS AHEAD)

Chapter 1: Where The Land Meets The Sea:

Goku decides to go up to the surface to get some stuff for his family (Waterproof books for Gohan included, don’t ask me about that one) and runs into Vegeta. Geets then witnesses his transformation and is all like, “Oh my god, merpeople are REAL!!” And they become friends and stuff like that. Goku tells Vegeta about his life beneath the waves and Vegeta tells Kakarot about how he longs for freedom and the ocean is his only escape.

Chapter 2: The Weight of Expectations:

After getting suspicious of why Vegeta isn’t showing up that much, Freezy Pop decides to give him longer shifts and more work, and that includes the very fact that Veggie has to look outside the window and see his coworkers enjoy their summer fun. As he makes his way down to the beach through the corridors, he decides what he really wants and that is to talk to Goku more. Talk about devotion! And foreshadowing since it shows Vegeta being cast in a blue light while in his monochrome suit (Spoiler alert- It’s his tail color).

Chapter 3: Making Waves:

It then shows Goku introducing Vegeta to some of his ocean dwelling friends and family, including but not limited to: Piccolo (Eel merman), Krillin (Weedy Seadragon merman), Tien (Koi merman), Yamcha (Octopus merman), Bulma (Who has her tail inspired by a Blue Tang and a single mom to Trunks in the AU), Chi Chi (Arowana mermaid), Gohan and Goten (Same Orange Disney style tail as their dad), Master Roshi (Conmon Dolphin) etc, etc. Anyhoo, there’s this work banquet later that night, and Vegeta decides to sneak out of it and get undressed so he can get changed into his swimwear, and then Goku and Vegeta have their first swim in the ocean together :)

Chapter 4: Out of The Cage:

Veggie’s all like, “I’ve officially made up my mind! I wanna become a merman and stay with you no matter what!”, and that’s where Bulma comes in- she gives Goku an artifact called a Crystal Shell that’s powerful enough to change Vegeta into a merman- but there’s a catch: The change is permanent, and the price for his freedom and fins is his life on land. Luckily, Vegeta is totally knowing what he’s getting into, and he goes along with the plan and decides to write a resignation letter to Frieza to let him know he’s not coming back- also, he packs up his shell collection and lets his new merpeople friends take it from there.

Chapter 5: Ebb And Flow:

Vegeta finally decides to deliver the letter to Frieza, and he reads it and is ABSOLUTELY LIVID. Then while nobody is looking; Goku and Vegeta immediately swim off to some secret undisclosed cove from any human eyes so that Kakarot can transform his best buddy into a merman form with the crystal shell. Cue something akin to Ariel’s transformation from The Little Mermaid (But reversed and with elements of Melody’s transformation from Little Mermaid 2 and Brother Bear from when Kenai becomes a Bear) and Vegeta becomes a merman with a gorgeous royal blue Disney style merman tail! And then they swim off to explore the ocean, but not before sharing a hug like the best buds they are. Yaaaay! :D

Happy b day anyways! (Also, I may have spoiled the plot point at the end where Vegeta becomes a merman)

@jorongbak (I hope you find this AU idea interesting)!

surprise infodump on card history!

while we don't know the true origin of playing cards, it's thought that they originated in China. the earliest confirmation of playing cards comes from a Swiss writing from 1377. They came to Europe from Egypt.

tarot being associated with divination is very recent, first popularized in the early 20th century. for most of history, tarot have just been playing cards.

the classic suits (♥️♠️♦️♣️) are known as "french-suited", bc it originates in France. but there's also italian-suited (traditional tarot), and german-suited (the suits are acorns, leaves, hearts, and bells, and the inspiration for the french-suit).

the reason the french-suit is the most conmon today, is because pre-printing press cards were very difficult and expensive to make, since each card had to be painted individually. but french decks were often made using stencils, which made them easier to produce.

another reason for the spread of the french-suit, is because once the cards made it to England, it was kinda inevitable that English cards would take over bc *gestures at English history*

overall, the modern 52 deck is sourced to the 18th century

oh this all is so interesting!!! I knew there were different version of the suites but I hadn’t heard of the German ones specifically.

it’s fun to know that we’ve been playing cards with friends for centuries. truly as a species, we just wanna hang :’)

last time on my Saga To Have The Taiwanese Road Font: i finally found and downloaded an ancient, Probably Corrupted .ttf file of the font i want, but since it had a 'y' instead of an 'i' (as well as some conmon cn words missing, like 十) i couldn't actually use it, and then gave up on trying to fix it bc the file is So Old it doesn't even use unicode

today in my Epic Quest To Have The Taiwanese Road Font: when i opened the file up in fontforge, it somehow managed to reencode itself into unicode, which. massive W. however, i found out that changing the 'i' also changed the 'y' to also be an 'i', and nothing i could do would unlink these glyphs. so i just started up a new fontforge project and am now just copy-pasting the glyphs from the corrupted file into the nice fresh new one en masse

okay here me out

Actually I want to throw yet another annoying poll to the tags bc now im thinking about it

"a homemade candy made in the United States, primarily in the Midwestern States. The recipe's name and ingredients can differ depending on the version, but most recipes will typically include cereal, melted chocolate, peanut butter (or other nut butters), and powdered sugar." [wikipedia]

I do not know why my brain decided "2 hours decompression before bed is toiling with a different webserver".

The issue is also weird and hard to diagnose but its weird and hard to diagnose for other reasons.

Basically a program is not registering in podman but is running, a lower level program is keeping the ports open and im presumably running the application. This is noticable because it won't mount volumes and essentially does not use the volumes I've specified.

If I kill conmon and then free the port, I can successfully create the program and have it run in podman. People are documenting this but they're not providing reproducible configurations so the developers aren't really tackling this.

[eve-123456]

Do you know what they have in conmon?

[decidueyedreamer]

Tinker’s hammer!

Tinkaton make their hammers from metal from steel types right? So surely they would look different depending on which steel types they’d hunted!

The Bisharp line is the most conmon in the plateau, so it makes sense for Tinker’s hammer to mainly be made from parts from them!
