You think I’d forget you, LC readers?

Tsk, tsk! I’m contractually bound to finish Steph and Mr D’s saga, I’m not going anywhere.

Night Launch of Apollo 17

"The huge, 363-feet tall Apollo 17 (Spacecraft 114/Lunar Module 12/Saturn 512) space vehicle is launched from Pad A., Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida, at 12:33 a.m. (EST), Dec. 7, 1972. Apollo 17, the final lunar landing mission in NASA's Apollo program, was the first nighttime liftoff of the Saturn V launch vehicle. Aboard the Apollo 17 spacecraft were astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, commander; astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot; and scientist-astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt, lunar module pilot. Flame from the five F-1 engines of the Apollo/Saturn first (S-1C) stage illuminates the nighttime scene. A two-hour and 40-minute hold delayed the Apollo 17 launching."

The Angel looks down upon us all

Tbh jubel is probably one of the if not THE only one who worries about Gabriel when he wanders off and disapears sometimes. Angelus on the other hand....LMAO

Days 7 and 8 of @containedconspiracy's egotober 2024, With Penitence and Paradise Lost and agent Judas (she/her)

And I fulfilled my promise, got sick and mouse kept being bad but I had fun with my idea! :D

(she also has a unique armband it means she's one of the apostles)

[goreyskeleton]

make me a sandwich big deal

Dude I really didn’t want to draw her but I’d do ANYTHING for you LC 😍😍 (I’m not weird you are)

anyway take this horrendous horseshit I’m forced to call “art”

[shimmeringweeds]

The whole situation with the twins is just.... demolishing me okay.

Does Li Tianchen deserve redemption? No. At this point, death might well be the only answer for him.

Is Li Tianxi's role in this worse than I ever imagined? Hell Yes. From both a writing standpoint and a character standpoint, that was OBSCENE.

And still, the amount of empathy I feel for them.

If someone, anyone, had shown the twins kindness. If anyone had actually been there for them, especially for Li Tianchen, things would have been different. It's a cycle of abuse. A child raised doubting everything and every one. Li Tianchen is emotionally stunted too.

Li Tianxi sees a hope for the future as long as her brother comes home.

Li Tianchen only sees darkness. Manipulation, control, desperately trying to stay ahead of the game. To be the player and not the the played. He trusts no one, because every time he makes a fumbling attempt to put his heart out there, it's tossed to the side, ignored.

He is classic example of being a product of your decisions, not your circumstances, but..... no he's not. That phrase sits so wrong with me in this situation.

We still don't know what decision the twins made in any of this. The first person Qian Jin "asked" them to kill was an innocent man. The twins knew he was innocent. So why did they do it. What actually drove Li Tianchen to madness. When did he cross that line?

I laughed maniacally when I started to realize

Advantages of a 12-core fiber optic cable

A 12 Fiber Cable is a type of optical cable that has 12 separate strands or cores of optical fibers enclosed in a protective jacket. Each core may carry a distinct communication signal, allowing numerous data streams to be delivered concurrently.

Fiber optic cables are composed of tiny strands of glass or plastic fibers that transport data via light pulses. These cables provide various advantages over regular copper cables, such as increased bandwidth, quicker data transmission rates, and greater transmission distances.

The 12-core design is a common choice for fiber optic cables because it strikes an appropriate balance between capacity and cost.

It supports the transmission of numerous signals, making it ideal for applications requiring large data capacity, such as telecommunications networks, data centers, and internet service providers.

In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for larger-capacity fiber optic connections to meet contemporary technology's expanding data requirements. As a result, manufacturers have created cables with even greater core counts, such as 24, 48, or 96 cores. These higher-core-count cables are commonly employed in large-scale data centers and high-capacity backbone networks.

Furthermore, advances in fiber optic technology have resulted in the development of cables with superior performance characteristics, such as faster data transfer speeds and lower signal loss. These advances have expanded the potential of 12 Fiber Pigtail, making them a dependable and effective alternative for a variety of applications.

Advantages of a 12-core fiber optic cable

Increased capacity: This cable has 12 separate fibers, which gives more data transmission capacity than cables with fewer cores. It enables the simultaneous transmission of several signals, resulting in better network flexibility and scalability.

Fiber optic lines provide greater data transfer speeds than standard copper wires. The 12-core architecture adds to this advantage, allowing for high-speed data transmission across great distances.

Improved Reliability: Fiber optic connections are less susceptible to electromagnetic interference and signal loss, resulting in more stable data transfer. The 12-core architecture provides redundancy, guaranteeing that if one or more fibers fail, the network may still function with the remaining fibers.

Future-proofing: The 12 Fiber Cable allows for future extension and technical developments. It enables future updates and the incorporation of new services without requiring significant infrastructure expenditures.

(tw MoC 12 metachurl vent 💀 im Struggling)

discovering thru multiple showcases on YT that yanqing hypercarry w RM tingyun aventurine might in fact be just. Straight up better in terms of clear speed and/or consistency than jingliu for this MoC 12 second half and especially the turbulence this time around has me like. Side-eyeing my very recent lvl 20 E1 dude (got him from standard pity like a week ago and then aven 50-50 loss now) like . Perhaps ive judged you too harshly ...... jkjk

Unless? 🤔

i knowwww i could prolly just reset for enough tries to clear w either jingliu or some other setup (i do in fact have 2 clears that just Barely slipped into the 19th cycle by the end) but also its kinda just painful 😭 this MoC feels so bad without acheron or someone like argenti or even SW its unreal

like the amount of setups that just. Havent worked out for me At All is wild to me. first i had to largely give up on the idea of fx on 2nd half period bc the wombo combo of the ascended lady slapping ur entire team like a marastruck car saleswoman bc this bad boy can fit so many wind shears in it so ur taking all that chip dmg before u even make it to aventurine who will gleefully beat ur ass before i manage to clear is just. Not good. especially when jinglius already draining the teams hp 💀

luckily aventurine seems a better bet for 2nd half (50% eff res might not be foolproof against CC but it actually blocks the wind shears p nicely) but theres a Big issue w trying to bring him in a jingliu team called "area woman takes 3 consecutive turns in a slow bronya setop on first cycle and expires own shield, is fully exposed to dmg for the enemys first actions" like. if she gets heavy targeted during that window its just so bad . the hp drain would already be a challenge but combined w that its just Not Good. Aventurines very strong for 2nd half outside of that tho (and v good at proccing the turbulence on either half obvi). Especially in teams of keel using supports bc u can lose a gambit and still have all ur 80-90 eff res shielded supports resist boss aventurines CC

in general the bosses are just way too fucking tanky meaning u Need to take advantage of the turbulence (attack 6 times before each cycle ends) for the dmg it deals but thats a Problem w my usual lineups and built units (lots of hypercarry teams and supports like RM sparkle TY that use ally targeting abilities so cant proc the turbulence stack consistently)

i think in terms of the 1st half i prolly have some more options left to explore to try to push a faster clear so theres more cycles left for 2nd but i shit you not the team thats worked the best so far has been. QQ. All these 5* carries and i had to fucking bring out QQ after so long to see results 💀💀💀 to be fair its a sparkle team so like. unsurprising that QQ shreds but its still finicky. in general the fastest clears have been between xueyi n QQ in more or less the same setups

2nd half is. An issue tho. im not gonna be cringe and say jingliu is like bad or unplayable there and cant clear bc she definitely can like shes e0s1 ffs and even my best attempts cut it very close and if i had a faster 1st half it wouldve cleared within 20 cycles. But what i will say is that she Does Not Feel Good there . obviously part of it is just my own fault bc i never rly committed to minmaxing her build the way ive done for most carries since shes so strong at baseline anyway. and thats showing in her clear time even with good supports. and then by not clearing aventurine fast enough even in hyper jingliu teams u get stuck w his gamba phase and then the supports not having a way to deal w the gambit becomes an issue and its just all cringe from there

also i just find the aventurine boss mechanics (and to an extent the meme dino too) very infuriatingly anti synergistic with the turbulence bc. if you proc the turbulence during his gambit on the dice its literally just fuck you all dmg gone like it doesnt even get you an extra roll . the dino at least isnt invulnerable at any point and its gimmick is more straightforward but it also takes v little dmg from the turbulence proc if not broken

another thing w jingliu is also abt the dice phases. like she also has such anti synergy w the gambit bc losing that uptime in her enhanced state just to roll the gambit (even if she usually wins) Isnt Nice bc thats dmg she could (and should) be doing to the boss instead 😭 like my jinglius somewhat unpolished build aside the base mechanics of the aventurine boss just arent a good match w her kit and teams imo. (cue the cursed yanqing consideration)

obviously jingliu isnt the only option for 2nd half like i did fiddle around w my decent ish e0s2 (s2... ThoseWhoKnow💀) clara build a bit and a team w her IS very very good at proccing the turbulence and synergistic with aventurine but at least in those attempts she was just lacking too much dmg when she wasnt getting counters and that delayed clearing the first 2 bosses in particular . I also did a shockingly close cut 19 cycles clear w a xueyi off element team of all things on 2nd half and QQ hyper on the other

but mannn. obviously i could just leave it be like its fine . u dont need to always 36* and this MoC is very clearly favoring units like acheron whomst i dont have and debuffer heavy teams like invested ratio SW whatevers. but a part of me just Rly wants to figure it out and work out a solution to it all

and the idea of that solution possibly involving building my yanqing since despite his shortcomings hes just unironically better in the kind of true ST content like the aventurine boss compared to jingliu now that a non gepard actually usable shielder exists. i mean. its just kinda funny .

Is it a good idea in terms of long term resource investment on an account? Dubious. Is it absolutely hilarious to possibly bench a jingliu for yanqing of all people just bc fuck this MoC in particular? Kinda yeah. For sure

...guess ill keep u guys updated 🤔

anyway TLDR this MoC is kinda agony im considering unwise building decisions just to get a funny clear out of it as opposed to being boring and just resetting until i manage a good clear since ive already gotten so close w my existing teams
