Strudel, Jingle J. Jester, and Kuiper Readjusting

Strudel was the first to exit rest mode after transport. They looked around the room they now found themselves in. Two beds paired with a small drawer, each in a corner, and a box containing the belongings of all three attendants from their location in the middle of the room 

Kuiper was in the other bed from Strudel, and Jingle Jester was presumably in their metal box in the corner.

She would NOT like that when she woke up, Strudel mused to themselves,  sliding off the bed and walking to the large box and opening the top to allow light inside. That would bring Jingle comfort when they woke.

Strudel then gravitated to the cardboard box of belongings. They removed their own items; spare bells, a scrapbook full of kid's drawings, and an 'emergency craft kit' containing three sheets of paper, a baggie of ten googly eyes, safety scissors, and a single jar of maroon glitter glue. They placed the items atop the drawer next to their desk.

Now, they wait for the others

~~~~~

The first thing Jingle J. Jester was aware of is that they were back in their box. Without a second thought they sprung out and onto the floor, their many bells jingling and alerting Strudel to their presence.

"Jinglie! Good afternoon~!" Strudel chimed, skipping over to their companion and offering her their hand. She took it and hopped up into her feet, before immediately lifting Strudel off the ground. 

"Strudel! Hi! Are we here now? Are we staying here?" Jingles asked, rocking back and forth. 

"I think so. I haven't heard much since I activated. I'm so glad you're awake now, I was *dreadfully* bored!" Strudel exclaimed, unbothered by the fact that they were being restrained above the ground.

"Do we have games? Can we play games?" Jingle asked, nay, pleaded.

"I'm sure we can find something, but be careful, Kuiper isn't up yet, okay?"

"Okay!"

~~~~~

Kuiper was slow to power up. They took a long while to wake - their literal internal system was rather strict, only activating them when it was 'naptime' or when children under the age of five were present. Manually booting them up was likewise a nightmare - it was good for saving money on electricity costs, but not so much for Strudel and Jingle Jester getting to interact with them.

Strudel, of course, knew the moment Kuiper was going to power on and paused their game with Jingle - a strange wordplay game that the two were very good at - to sit down and wait for Kuiper. Jingle clapped their hands in excitement, impatient to be able to speak with their other parent figure.

Kuiper's metal eyelids raised halfway - as they only ever did - and they sat up, crossing their legs and resting their four arms on their lap. They looked at Strudel and Jingle with a nod of acknowledgement before looking around the room. It was... smaller than they would have expected, considering it was housing three animatronics. Then again, Jingle was likely expected to remain in her box.

What a stupid idea. She hated the box.

"Did you sleep well?" Jingle asked, to which Kuiper let out a small amused huff.

"Yes." They didn't sleep, not really, but they had no issue with indulging in Jingle's question nonetheless. Despite the jester being significantly taller than Kuiper and Strudel, they seemed much more akin to a child than an actual adult.

"Would you like to join us in our game, Kuiper? I think you'd do really well!" Strudel chimed.

"I'd love to."

Kim Kitsuragi - The bullet falls in the bag leaving a smattering of blood on the plastic. He raises the bag under his eyes and says:

Kim Kitsuragi - "Unknown calibre. Rifled. Some kind of brittle alloy, fractured on impact..."

You - "Can I have it?"

Kim Kitsuragi - "Of course. You've *earned* it." The lieutenant drops the bag in your bloody hand. It feels light.

Perception (Sight) - Your gardening glove is completely covered in the corpse's blood.

Inland Empire - Cold and absent of life.

Half Light - Lick your fingers.

Volition - What-

Electrochemistry - YES-

You - Um...?

Endurance - Uh, no. You barely got your shit together when approaching the hanging corpse. Your body will not be able to handle its dead blood inside it.

Electrochemistry - The dark liquid glistens on the yellow latex in the cold sunlight. Your fingers are *dripping* with it.

Authority - You outlived this sad, sad man. It's only right that you should feast upon his corpse.

Logic - No, you shouldn't. The corpse has been hanging outside - mouth open - for a week. In any case, it won't taste good.

Conceptualisation - That's because it's raw, unseasoned blood. This is just a little taste.

Perception (Smell) - You waft the odor towards your face. If you close your eyes, you can imagine it's a kebab.

Volition - We all know that the kebabs you ate were no better than a week-old corpse. Take the gloves off and clean them when you get back to your room.

Reaction Speed - You will never get this chance again, especially with how the lieutenant regarded you when you tried to remove the hanged man's boots.

You - Lick your fingers.

Perception (Taste) - You swipe the flat of your tongue along the back of your hand. Why did you do that? You could have just dabbed at it. It's disgustingly sour and tastes awful. You gag when your saliva washes the fluid down your throat.

Authority - You have bested this man. You have consumed him.

Electrochemistry - It's fucking vile. It's enlightening.

Logic - Great. Now that you've established that brain fluid and blood tastes bad, let's get back to the autopsy.

Kim Kitsuragi - He had turned to his notebook when you took the bagged bullet. He's still looking down at it.

Kim Kitsuragi - He was beginning to write the bullet wound's description. The pen has not touched the paper.

Composure - He *saw* you lick your bloody glove.

Empathy - It's not a surprise. He is still appalled.

Half Light - You conquered your prey. You are the predator.

Inland Empire - A four-legged beast with sharp claws and numerous teeth. Muscles powerful and flexing.

Shivers - In a grimy butcher shop in Faubourg, a rugged man pulls a thawed lamb down onto the somewhat clean counter. He grips the front legs and tendons crack. In the front of the shop, raw meats line the shelves. Red steaks with beautiful marbling, sausage casings stuffed full of spiced pork, pink breasts of chicken shining in the artificial light.

Electrochemistry - You recall the sweet ham of Gaston's sandwich.

Physical Instrument - Your muscles are also powerful and flex-worthy. Your meat would be highly coveted.

Volition - Right. Who would want to buy meat sourced from an addicted alcoholic? Take off the damn gloves.

You - "I wonder what I taste like."

Kim Kitsuragi - You pull him out of his silent stupor. After a second, he decides to ignore what you said. "We need to add an item to the injury list."

summary: what the absolute fuck is up baby! fall semester marks the peak of greek life at ncu. the campus quad is filled with tents representing various fraternities and sororities with their letters proudly presented in front of each booth, all eager to recruit new members. as students return to campus, they are met with a flood of fliers and invitations to parties, mixers, and rush events. while you were walking through the crowd of eager freshmen to join these organizations, you bumped into someone very unexpected...

I love how in the disconauts au everyone can see the skills. Do they have unique abilities or are they essentially just very opinionated archetypes.

They have the same abilities they have in DE (Savoir Faire helps Harry move, Empathy can tell what people are feeling, etc) which are mostly extensions of Harry's own abilities. So technically they don't have powers of their own but can channel some of Harry's depending on the skill (for example: Physical Instrument can't use Telepathy but EDC can).

They DO have unique summoning methods though, similar to how Raz draws his archetype. Electrochemistry appears as a bottle first and crawls out of it, Reaction Speed peels off of Harry's body like an afterimage, etc.

[electromelancholy]

for the palette challenge thing my brain immediately alighted on "jean is dead" so i guess you could try jean and harry with that one?

Jean is HARD to draw!!! I wanted to do something special with this, the palette name made me really want to draw a Harry/Jean Swap AU, but Jean is all I got. So instead here are some notes I took about the au:

Harry and Jean were always on the same race to the bottom, this time it's Jean who gets there first

Harry sees his younger partner mimicking his bad habits, tries to gently support him until the big fight in Martinaise where it's Jean who snaps and tells them to leave

Jean wakes up with none of his memories like Harry does. Less of a connection to Shivers but a much stronger connection to EDC which lets him go through a longer period of time before he has to admit to Lt. Kitsuragi that he doesn't actually remember who he is

Antidepressants were in the car -- venlafaxine withdrawals are a bitch

Harry's still wearing some stupid wig in the Whirling because these idiots have the same sense of terrible humour

Çakı Modelleri: Fonksiyon ve Estetiğin Buluştuğu Nokta

Giriş

Çakı, tarih boyunca insanoğlunun en temel ihtiyaçlarından biri olmuştur. Kesme, açma, delme ve diğer birçok işlevi ile çakılar, günlük yaşamda, doğa sporlarında ve profesyonel alanlarda sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Günümüzde farklı malzeme ve tasarımlarla üretilen çakı modelleri, her kullanıcının ihtiyacına yönelik çözümler sunmaktadır. Bu yazıda, çakıların tarihçesi, çeşitli modelleri ve seçerken dikkat edilmesi gereken noktaları ele alacağız.

Çakının Tarihçesi

Çakılar, tarih öncesi dönemlerden beri var olan kesici aletlerdir. İlk çakılar, taş, kemik ve ahşap gibi doğal malzemelerden yapılmıştır. Zamanla, metal işçiliğinin gelişmesiyle birlikte, çakıların yapımında demir ve çelik kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Çakılar, ��zellikle avcılık, tarım ve günlük yaşamda birçok işlevsellik sunarak insanların hayatlarını kolaylaştırmıştır.

Çakı Türleri

Çakı modelleri, işlevlerine ve tasarımlarına göre farklı kategorilere ayrılabilir. İşte en yaygın çakı türleri:

Katlanabilir Çakılar

Günlük taşıma için en popüler seçenektir. Kompakt yapıları sayesinde cebinize veya çantanıza kolayca sığar. Kullanım kolaylığı ve pratikliği ile öne çıkarlar.

Sabit Bıçaklı Çakılar

Çakı Seçerken Dikkat Edilmesi Gereken Noktalar

Malzeme

Bıçak çeliği, keskinlik ve dayanıklılık açısından önemli bir faktördür. Yüksek kaliteli çelik tercih edilmelidir. Paslanmaz çelik, çoğu kullanıcı için iyi bir tercihtir.

Boyut ve Ağırlık

Çakının boyutu ve ağırlığı, taşınabilirliğini etkiler. Günlük kullanım için daha küçük ve hafif çakılar tercih edilirken, outdoor aktiviteleri için daha büyük ve dayanıklı modeller seçilebilir.

Ergonomi

Sap tasarımı ve tutuş şekli, uzun süreli kullanımlarda konfor sağlar. Ergonomik bir tasarım, bıçağı kullanırken yorgunluğu azaltır.

Fonksiyonellik

Kullanım amacınıza göre çakı seçimi yapmalısınız. Çok amaçlı kullanımlar için multitool modelleri, günlük taşıma için katlanabilir bıçaklar tercih edilebilir.

Fiyat

Çakı fiyatları geniş bir aralıkta değişir. Bütçenize uygun bir model seçerken, kaliteyi ve dayanıklılığı göz önünde bulundurmalısınız.

Kullanıcı Deneyimleri ve Yorumlar

Çakı kullanıcıları, genellikle kullandıkları modelin kalitesini, keskinliğini ve dayanıklılığını sıklıkla vurgular. Özellikle, EDC çakılarının taşınabilirliği ve işlevselliği beğenilmektedir. Kullanıcılar, çakılarının pratikliği sayesinde günlük hayatlarını kolaylaştırdıklarını belirtmektedir. Taktiksel ve sabit bıçak kullanıcıları ise, bu modellerin zorlu koşullardaki performansını öne çıkarmaktadır.

Çakı Bakımı

Çakıların uzun ömürlü olması için düzenli bakım gerekmektedir. İşte çakı bakımına dair bazı ipuçları:

Temizlik: Çakı kullanıldıktan sonra, bıçağın temizlenmesi önemlidir. Paslanmaz çelik olsa bile, toprak ve yağ gibi maddelerin birikmesini önlemek için temizlenmelidir.

Yağlama: Bıçağın hareketli parçalarının yağlanması, düzgün çalışmasını sağlar. Özellikle katlanabilir çakılarda, menteşe bölgeleri düzenli olarak yağlanmalıdır.

Keskinlik Kontrolü: Bıçakların keskinliğini düzenli olarak kontrol edin. Keskin olmayan bir bıçak, kullanım sırasında daha fazla güç harcamanıza neden olur. Taşlama veya bileme işlemleri ile keskinliği geri kazandırılabilir.

Depolama: Çakınızı uygun bir yerde saklayın. Nemli ortamlardan uzak tutmak, paslanma riskini azaltır. Ayrıca, çakıyı çocukların ulaşamayacağı yerlerde saklamak önemlidir.

Sonuç

Çakı Modelleri, günlük yaşamda ve outdoor aktivitelerde vazgeçilmez bir araçtır. Farklı ihtiyaçlara göre birçok model sunan çakı markaları, kullanıcıların beklentilerini karşılamak için sürekli olarak yenilikler geliştirmektedir. Doğru çakı seçimi, kullanıcının amacına ve tercihlerine bağlıdır. Kaliteli bir çakı, uzun yıllar boyunca güvenilir bir dost olacaktır. Bu nedenle, çakı alırken malzeme, tasarım ve işlevsellik gibi faktörleri göz önünde bulundurmak büyük önem taşır.

Nexalyn Testbericht : Funktioniert diese männliche Potenz wirklich?

Nexalyn soll Ausdauer, Sexualtrieb und Testosteronspiegel steigern. Es kann hormonelle Ungleichgewichte wiederherstellen, die Durchblutung des Penis verbessern und die männliche Fruchtbarkeit steigern. Stress, schlechte Angewohnheiten und Angstzustände können diese Situation verschlimmern und Sie können Ihren Partner im Bett möglicherweise nicht befriedigen. Theanex höhle der löwen kann Ihre gesunde Erektion Funktion unterstützen.

Was ist Nexalyn?

Laut den Herstellern kann Nexalyn Ihnen helfen, Ihre sexuelle Vitalität zu verbessern, indem es Ihr sexuelles Verlangen steigert. Nexalyn kann die notwendigen Nährstoffe liefern, die für eine Verbesserung der Erektion Funktion und der allgemeinen sexuellen Leistungsfähigkeit erforderlich sind. Nexalyn zielt darauf ab, Erektionsprobleme an der Wurzel zu bekämpfen, indem es Giftstoffe eliminiert, eine verbesserte Durchblutung des Penis ermöglicht und den Testosteron- und Wachstumshormonspiegel steigert. Die Hersteller von Nexalyn behaupten, dass es die Länge und den Umfang des Penis vergrößern, Energie für die sexuelle Leistungsfähigkeit liefern und die männliche Fruchtbarkeit verbessern kann.

Wie wirkt Nexalyn?

Laut der offiziellen Website kann Nexalyn die endokrinen Disruptoren (EDC) aus dem Gehirn entfernen, die die Übertragung von Gehirnsignalen in den Penisbereich behindern. Nexalyn kann die Blutgefäße entspannen, was für bessere Erektionen unerlässlich ist, da es sicherstellt, dass ausreichend Blut in den Penisbereich gelangt. Nexalyn ermöglicht einen Blutfluss unter hohem Druck und sorgt so für feste Erektionen. Epimedium Sagittatum in Nexalyn kann sich positiv auf die Sexualfunktion und die Testosteronproduktion auswirken, was die Libido, die Reaktionsfunktion und die Spermienqualität steigern kann. Damianablätter und Catuaba können die geistige Klarheit verbessern, den Blutfluss im Penis erhöhen und das Energieniveau steigern.

Nexalyn könnte die männliche Gesundheit unterstützen, indem es die Libido steigert, die Reaktionsfunktion verbessert und die Ausdauer steigert. Die Einnahme von Nexalyn in Kombination mit einer nahrhaften Ernährung und einem aktiven Lebensstil kann die Ergebnisse jedoch beschleunigen. Stressbewältigung, guter Schlaf, ein moderates Gewicht und eine bessere Beziehung zu Ihrem Partner können Libido und sexuelles Verlangen steigern. Ausreichend Flüssigkeitszufuhr, Rauch- und Alkoholverzicht, regelmäßiger Sport und weniger fetthaltige Lebensmittel können einen großen Beitrag zur Förderung der Erektion Gesundheit leisten.

SÉANCE #6 - Les influenceurs et le marketing

De nos jours, les réseaux sociaux proposent du contenu qui favorise grandement l’exposition de soi en ligne. En effet, les plateformes numériques comme Instagram et Tik Tok suggèrent aux internautes des modèles masculins et féminins, connu sous la communauté des influenceurs.

En temps normal, « le profil de l’influenceur participe à la production de nouveaux biens informationnels ». J’ai observé sur les réseaux sociaux, qu’il tente, dans l’idéal, de promouvoir le bien-être, la diversité corporelle, l’ouverture d’esprit, et ce, par « la mise en scène de soi sur les réseaux sociaux ». L’objectif de l’influenceur est clair : il s’agit de proposer, sur les réseaux sociaux, un espace public basé sur ses expériences personnelles, et ce, tout en demeurant authentique. Aux yeux des internautes, l’influenceur est un exemple de la perfection. Il est beau, drôle et authentique. L’envie d’adopter son mode de vie ainsi que leur manière de pensée et d’agir est instantanée. Pourtant, j’ai toujours douté de ce rôle et je n’ai jamais adhéré à leur effet.

Le marketing d’influence

Cependant, au fil du temps, je suis d’avis que la crédibilité de l’image de ses influenceurs s’est accentuée. Il semble ne plus s’agir d’une simple plateforme où l’un y expose son mode de vie afin de divertir les gens. Aujourd’hui, les influenceurs se donnent corps et âme à la production de leur contenu. En faisant la tournée de quelques comptes Instagram, j'ai constaté qu’être un créateur de contenu est maintenant un réel métier. Un article de Sophie Allard confirme mon point. En effet, elle explique que plusieurs entreprises font maintenant recours aux leaders d’opinion afin de promouvoir un produit. Au Québec, le marketing d’influence connaît un élan de popularité depuis 2018. Il s’agit d’une combinaison « de professionnalisation et d’éditorialisation des contenus » où l’émergence d’un engagement commercial et communicationnel par les influenceurs prend place.

D’ailleurs, l’émission Occupation Double encourage grandement la relève des influenceurs.  À ce jour, plusieurs anciens candidats détiennent le fameux titre à temps plein et dénichent sans cesse des contrats avec des entreprises québécoises, comme Alanis Desilets. Mais l’utilisation de la présentation de soi pour vendre des produits est-elle, à long terme, un métier réellement assuré ? Personnellement, je n’oserais jamais consacrer tout mon temps ainsi que mon revenu total à l’influence en ligne.

My friend asked me to redraw this art piece of an EDC version of marinette. The second one is the original I drew earlier this year. haha I like how it came out and now I want to redraw Adrien’s. :)

In the disconauts au were the skills manifesting as archetypes always a thing or was that only after, and if it was only after did he have a different signature psychic skill the way other main character psychonauts do

After! Harry repressed all of his psychic abilities before Martinaise (and may not have had the skills at all) and afterward they started manifesting themselves without Harry's conscious summoning. So technically his most powerful PSI-Power is Projection, but his actual specialty he's the best at controlling is Mental Connection.

First Image: An anonymous tumblr question is posted in the corner that reads: "In the disconauts au were the skills manifesting as archetypes always a thing or was that only after, and if it was only after did he have a different signature psychic skill the way other main character psychonauts do".

The image shows Harry and Kim sitting on a bench, drawn in the psychonauts style, as they talk. The dialogue reads: Harry: "So I finally figured out what my speciality is." Kim: "Really, detective? Well go on."

Second Image: The sequence continues from the last image with Harry smiling and kim slightly frowning at him. The dialogue reads: Harry: "Mental connection!" Kim: "What?" Harry: "I figured it out yesterday." Kim: "Mental connection?"

Third Image: The sequence continues from the last image with Kim looking out into the distance. A mental projection of Encyclopedia appears behind him and Harry, as Harry looks annoyed over his shoulder at it. The dialogue reads: Encyclopedia: "Mental connection is a PSI-Power-" Harry: "He's the one who told us about it, Cyc." Kim, quietly: "Mental connection…"
