Inktober day 28: Sebek Zigvolt // Cucafera

Cucafera or Cuca fera (wild critter) is a monstrous dragon from the catalan bestiary (the ensemble of real and mythical animals statues exhibited during local festivities in the Catalan Countries, originating from the medieval theater during the processions of Corpus Christi).

Cucafera is used to represent both "idolatry" and "heresy" during Corpus, and the oldest documented one is from Montblanc (Concà de Barberà) from the XIV century. There's also documentation of a Cucafera in the city of Múrcia in the XVII century, a vestige of when catalan was still spoken there.

Cucafera is represented as a kind of giant turtle but with a crocodile's head and an extensible neck. Cucafera clacks its teeth to scare children and everyday it eats 13 cats and 3 kids. It's said to be related to the Tarasca from Tarascó (Provença, France).

Because you know a harness is only made for one

(Very unsure about how I feel about this brush. I finally found the dot one though and I'm happy about that)

was talking to my friends about this but i love how you have two kinds of gender neutral chinese pronouns in fandom (since chinese doesn't have gender neutral third person pronouns): the chinese limbus company fandom referring to dante as 祂 (a third person pronoun specifically for gods and deities) and medicine pocket reverse 1999 canonically using 它 (it)

Every time I think about what Ahti II would sound like I always have to metaphorically beat myself on the head, “he sounds Swedish!!! He sounds Swedish!!! HE!! SOUNDS!!! SWEDISH!!!!!” I accidentally make him British every single time

me, aromantic, who forgets that a “ship” is usually romantic and that not everyone can experience nor conceptualise the intricacy of an aromantic relationship that transcends society’s amatonormative views of love and human connection and that most people’s views of a relationship end at the platonic or romantic dichotomy: why are people making this ship romantic

Also reading her household book does confirm that Isabella of France directly corresponded with Hugh le Despenser the elder during the 1310's...Much to think about...

Was just sitting here wanting to read comics but feeling too sleepy and lazy and thinking, "they need to invent an audiobook, but for manga"... and then I was like, oh yeah. Lol. Anime

I heard you say you were good at math, do you happen to have any good tips at studying math? Genuine question here, I just failed my final exam for a math course. I am bummed and looking for advice. Sorry if this was a weird question to ask of you on this blog. And for also asking on anon, im a bit to embarrassed to ask this on my account.

I'm not sure if I have any good types and tricks...math was just my Neurodivergent Perk that I've had since I was a kid...also full disclaimer that I completed my high school math credits in middle school and my college math credits in high school so while that is a pretty epic gamer moment, it also means I have not touched a proper math course in like 6 years

Fun time math lesson with Danny below (:

One pattern that I used to do (at least when it came to formulas) was kinda organize my work into categories, if that makes sense.

So let's say you have a physics (shush it's still math) problem that's looking for the potential energy of an item weighing 7kg that's 5m above the earth --

What's the formula? - PE = mass * gravitational * height

What's the values we already know? - m = 7m, g = 9.8 m/s^2 (this is an always constant value for earth's gravity), h = 5m

Plug it in - PE = 7 * 9.8 * 5

Final answer - PE = 343 J (Jules)

Sometimes you're going to have to use other formulas first before you can get to the meat of your main problem. So let's use the same example, but now the height is 7 feet. You'll need to convert that first into meters before you can plug it into your formula and it can help keep track of your work --

What's the formula? - meters = ft/0.3048

What's the values we already know? - ft = 7

Plug it in - m = 7/0.3048

Final answer - m = 2.1336 (usually round off to nearest 100th, so we'll use 2.13). meters = height // h = 2.13m

What's the formula? - PE = mass * gravitational * height

What's the values we already know? - m = 7m, g = 9.8 m/s^2, h = 2.13m

Plug it in - PE = 7 * 9.8 * 2.13

Final answer - PE = 146.18 J

Now let's say we know the PE is 68.31 J and it's resting at a height of 8m, but we don't know its mass? Simple! Do the same exact sequence of organizing and you'll be able to tell how to work backwards.

What's the formula? - PE = mass * gravitational * height

What's the values we already know? - g = 9.8 m/s^2, h = 8m, PE = 68.31 J

Plug it in - 68.31 = m * 9.8 * 8 // 68.31 = m * 78.4 // 68.31/78.4 = m * 78.4/78.4 (this will cancel out completely, so it will NOT be m * 0) // 0.87 = m

Final answer - m = 0.87

My overall suggestion is to focus on memorize your equations first and foremost, and from there use the 4 steps to organize your work. The variables will always be given to you, so as long as you can remember which formulas (and constant variables!!) are necessary for that information, you should be golden! Then, you can plug and play as needed, but keep in mind you may need additional equations to get all of your variables first. If you're able to, there tons of free specialty calculators you can use specifically for certain formulas! I used omnicalculator's Potential Energy Calculator to check my work here in fact, give or take a few decimals.

Granted, this information mostly applies to math likes physics, algebraic, and trig. I am dogshit at geometry because I can't visualize and angles vex (heh) me so...man good luck to you if that's the field you're struggling in.

I’ve been learning Norwegian with books and Duolingo for the last (almost) year and every time I read “helgen” I instantly think of the exact opposite of what I’m supposed to think of. Practicing Norwegian? Think of Skyrim. Playing Skyrim? Why is this town named “the weekend”? I can’t win. The wrong one is always the first to come to mind
