relieving wing related dysphoria

something that I see many winged folks experience, including myself, is wing related dysphoria. more specifically, dysphoria relating to not being able to fly or not having wings physically. all my life this is a struggle I've dealt with, and I understand how painful it is. there are ways to relieve it though! here's some things that I've come up with and suggest to those who are struggling:

create mood boards, wallpapers, stim boards, and pinterest boards relating to the sky, your wings, theriotype, shifted form, etc

dive into media that has winged people/creatures (maximum ride, the maleficent movies, the croaking, just to name a few)

play games that let you fly, either with or without wings. bonus points if you're able to do it in VR (roblox, minecraft, feralheart, aer memories of old, superflight, fugl, etc)

practice lucid dreaming or astral projection

blankets!! especially weighted blankets, this can mimic the feeling of having wings

create or buy cosplay wings that look like your own (either typical cosplay wings worn with a harness/straps, or a backpack with wings, or a shawl in the shape of wings)

wear the colors of your wings, theriotype or shifted form

surround yourself with wing related themes or themes related to your theriotype or shifted form (buttons, pins, stickers, doodles, plushies, etc)

wear wing related accessories (rings, necklaces, hair pins, wings you can put on the laces of your shoes, etc)

if you're able to, get wings tattooed on your back or get a tattoo related to your theriotype or shifted form

if you're able to, participate in sky/air related sports or activities (skydiving, wingsuit flying, paragliding, hang gliding, etc)

draw/doodle your wings, theriotype or shifted form!!

meditate and visualize your wings. feel their weight, see their colors and textures, etc.

connect and talk to others who have wings if you need support and are looking for folks who have had similar experiences

carry around a backpack and make sure to give it some weight! having a backpack of a similar weight to my phantom wings tends to make my phantom wings go away, if you're looking to stop your phantom wings from existing for a bit for any reason

collect feathers that look like yours if you have feathered wings

connect with nature! this helps ground me and feel more connected to my natural self. I suggest going outside on a windy day or climbing trees.

stick your head/arms out of the car when you're going somewhere! this is one of my favorite things to do and it mimics what I imagine flying to feel like (pro tip, don't do this if you're driving)

make your room feel like the environment you belong in (using nature or wind ambient sounds, fans to get air flowing, that sort of thing)

watch flying POV videos

I'm sure there are more things that I could add, but I think that this is all my brain can think of at the moment. feel free to add onto the list if there's anything else that any of you want to add if I missed anything!

Cheat Code #4 for accommodating disabled characters in sci-fi/fantasy:

If you want to show a character's personality in the aids they use, you need to add customization, accessories, and/or specializations.

i.e.: You'll have a more three-dimensional character design if you take the time to consider what you can make unique about an aid; it should be as much a part of your design thoughts as the clothes they wear or the hairstyle they keep, and there are several ways to go about it. For example:

Customization would be things like colors and lights. A prosthetic arm can have colored guards that slide in and latch; a rich person might have those guards gilded, while a scientist might have a whiteboard arm panel to scribble notes on, and a stage performer could have theirs painted black with a bone on it to give the appearance of a skeletal window. A visor that replaces vision could have a screen that shows expressive pixel eyes for a happy-go-lucky hacker, or a practical black shield for someone in strict uniform. ⠀ To customize: make yourself a base, then take that base and imagine what each character you apply it to would WANT it to look like; prioritize aesthetics or practicality based on their personal preference. ⠀

Accessories are add-ons to your aid, rather than part of it. A cane could have ribbons wound around it if it's used by a magical girl, or a secret compartment stopper to hide notes in for a paranoid detective. A wheelchair might come with paragliding wings that open with a pullstring for a daredevil, canvas bags full of tools for a mechanic, or hubcaps that detach and can be thrown as weapons for a soldier. ⠀ For accessories, you're not necessarily thinking of "what can I add to this aid to make it special?" The process is better defined as "what would they want to have, and how can I merge the two in a way that's easy to use?" ⠀

Specializations are sort of a deeper combination of the two above features. They're a more advanced way of making your aids stand out, down to the materials they're comprised of or their intrinsic properties, that uniquely suit your character. They're typically hard to come by without being specially made, and can't be quickly modded in. ⠀ A spine brace being made of magic, living wood that grows to fill gaps when damaged would be available to a wood elf, and probably specially given to a warrior who WOULD damage it. A wheelchair made of magic-resistant metal could have use for a battlemage that can't turn to deflect spells quickly, or a witch hunter who wants immunity from the mages they're hunting. A cane that lights up when it senses radiation would be useful to a planetary explorer or warp drive mechanic, but not to a marine xenobiologist studying the starwhale population, who instead has a whalecall whistle built into theirs. ⠀ A specialized aid takes into account not only your character's wants and needs, but also their profession, their common risks, and occasionally their class—especially if you're using rare materials.

When you want to design an aid to be unique to your character, go through this checklist:

What do they want it to look like?

What would they want to add to it, and how do I make it convenient?

What would their setting offer them for their job or status?

What modifications would they have to seek out themselves, and would/could they?

Ask yourself these, and you're well on your way to making your disabled characters as varied as your abled ones.

Cheat Code 2: What kinds of aid to use to accommodate disability

Cheat Code 3: How to make your setting itself disability-friendly

Confirmations / potential confirmations from the art book leak

(That I could find)

Disclaimer, I am not sure I've seen each page yet, as I'm struggling to find sources. But this is what I've gathered:

-Many new armour sets as well as new masks and accessories for Link.

-Link has a wingsuit, another new method of traversing the sky.

-The source of Link's arm magic and potentially the identity of the mural person is revealed. According to sources on reddit their name is Rauru. I can't speak Japanese so grain of salt here.

-New NPCs. A woman very similar to the figure in the dress from the last trailer, however it doesn't appear to be the same person, as this woman has white markings on her arms.

-Time travel confirmed??? Concept art of what is assumed to be young King Dorephan and adult Purah before she had her physical de-aging mishap.

-New animals, including what looks to be a cave dwelling fish.

-At least one new monster type we did not see in the last trailer.

-Weapon and arrow customization all but confirmed, via the use of monster horns and eyes(?).

-Dungeons potentially confirmed?? Many pieces showing elaborate indoor structures, as well as floating islands which are suspiciously large and themed. If not dungeons, these are huge areas.

-Ocean exploration?? A torn up ship which looks very akin to Skyward Sword's sandship. It's unclear if this ship is an enemy base, a dungeon or something we can potentially fix and use to sail the sea.

-Zelda might well be alive. While it's hard to tell what point in the game this is, there is art of Zelda exploring the underground alone. There is also a strange new "spool" Link can wear on his waist which connects to the sheikah slate, suggesting maybe a way to communicate with Zelda, or even from a gameplay perspective to switch to her POV.

-More paraglider customisation.

-Cheese confirmed.

TotK Intermediate/Advanced tips/things not to miss (spoilers ahead)

⚠️⚠️ DUPLICATION GLITCHES PATCHED AS OF VERSION 1.1.2 ⚠️⚠️

Zonai Devices + Hylian Sheild = OP

You can put Zonai Devices on the Hylian Sheild and they won't break. If you duplicated the Hylian Sheild (and have the sheild slots), you can have a cart for mobility (basically an unbreakable skateboard), a flame/ice/shock/beam emitter, or a cannon for pesky caves. The ice emitter is OP for stunlocking every enemy that isn't a Lynel or Boss, and a cannon is good too for armored enemies, and as long as you hold still while aiming, it fires straight (this is true for all devices fused onto sheilds).

Most Efficient Zonai Machine

Getting to different sections of the Water, Fire, and the section leading up to the Wind temple can all be pretty much skipped using an airbike. It seems to be the most efficient use of Zonai devices while providing the best mobility. It's also amazing for exploring The Depths, just throw a Giant Brightbloom seed on it and you're set (be careful as throwing a seed on it activates the device). Also if you don't have much battery, consuming a Large Zonai Charge will fill your battery and give you a brief period of unlimited energy use. They are rare however (but again, easy to dupe).

(I recommend a YouTube video for instructions on how to build it, it can be REALLY finicky if not done correctly)

Expensive Taste

Once you finish the Gerudo section you can unlock the full Accessories shop. (You might have to do the side quest, I'm not sure) but you can buy the diamond circlet. It's better than it was in botw as it now has Attack Up, and when fully upgraded has 28 defense. It will cost you 18 diamonds and 3 star fragments and some flint to fully upgrade, but is definitely worth it.

Pimping out the Purah Pad

Complete Josha's quests which involve exploring The Depths to unlock the Autobuild ability at Hyrule Central Mine, but then go see Robbie to unlock the Shrine Sensor, Heroes Path and Travel Medallion. To unlock the Travel Medallion you'll need to enter Robbie's old Tech Lab in Akkala (use the chasm and ascend into it), and this is also part of the Yiga quest chain. The Travel Medallion is definitely worth it for going back to hard to reach areas, or putting it in useful spots (I have one right next to the item break-down place in Tarrey Town).

Yiga Clan Questline Rewards

If you've gotten the Travel Medallion for Robbie from the Akkala Tech Lab, you've already done 1 of 3 hideouts for getting the Yiga suit. The other two are in the Old Man's cabin on the Great Plateau, and just west of the Great Hyrule Forest in a cave in Aldor foothills. The suit's stats aren't the greatest, but Yiga clan members won't ambush you while wearing it (and they'll all have unique dialogue), you can enter the Yiga Clan hideout and participate in a challenge to unlock their paraglider design, their earthquake technique, and a replica functional Thunder Helm making you immune to lightning.

Gleeok Horns Pack a Punch

If you've managed to take down a Gleeok, the horn they drop does a MASSIVE aoe if you attach them to an arrow. They're also the highest elemental fuse component at 30 Damage. They are rare, but are also easy to duplicate.

⚠️ I've purposely left out a bunch of details on how exactly to accomplish some of these, but feel free to message if you need further instructions, also google is free ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

More Rambling About Magic

So my last post petered out cause I was tired and my brain was not willing to cooperate so I’m making a follow up post to that one. Link here https://www.tumblr.com/dumpster-of-the-lost-souls/713014133422964736/magic-rambling?source=share 

So the main real difference between Witches and Fairies is the emotional pull, intent, and choice they make when casting this results in the different aesthetics that differentiate the two. If you look back far enough in the records you can find that the earliest records of the precursors of both Fairies and Witches that being Nymphs had a similar dichotomy.

These are examples of outfits the Nymphs would have wore. The precursor for Fairies is on the left while the precursor for Witches is on the right. 

The Nymphs with brighter color schemes, flower fabrics, and shinier accessories would end up setting the precedent for Fairy transformations to appear brightly colored and glittery. Some researchers believe that with these Nymps choice of flowing lighter fabrics and their choice of hair adornments gave off the illusion of wings while in flight or in motion. Thus modern Fairies having actual wings. Witches on the other hand have barely changed, their uniform simply becoming more streamlined over time.

 Fairies do not have their wings at all times which is part of why their transformation exist as they do. Nymphs would often show up to important events such as disasters and meetings in full regalia. It lead to the perception that Nymphs could access larger amounts of their power while appearing like that.

The difference between Witches not having wings and Fairies having wings results in a few minor differences in basic abilities. Flight for example Fairies fly in the sense of how insects and birds do their wings flap generating force to keep them airborne, Witches simply levitate using their powers. Charmix Tecna is interesting since her wings take the form of a paraglider/paper airplane while airborne, her wings function similarly to the wings of planes and similar aircraft, theres a curve on the top part of her wings that causes air to move faster over them compared to the flat bottom part of her wing, the slower moving air has more pressure then the faster air moving above it creating lift that keeps her airborne. When Tecna is hovering she levitates herself similarly to how witches do.

I cant think of anything else relevant so I’m ending it here. So uh if anyone is actually interested in these ramblings let me know what you want to hear about next.

Why Is Kitesurfing An Expensive Sport?

Kitesurfing's high price tag is mostly due to the growing demand for kitesurfing equipment. Or, more precisely, its absence. Kitesurfing is a rather unknown sport. There are only about two million kitesurfers worldwide, making it a niche market. 

Kitesurfing can be described as a "specialty," "elite," "custom," "exclusive," and "limited edition" industry due to the small number of manufacturing companies and the high frequency with which we purchase new kite surf equipment. 

Gear

There is no way to get started in kitesurfing without more than one piece of equipment. The kite, the board, and the harness are the three most important necessities, but you'll actually need more things to go kitesurfing safely. 

Each piece of kitesurfing equipment, as you might expect, has its price tag. It is possible to save money if you are starting by purchasing one of the many "all-inclusive" packages offered by various stores such as Kite-line.com.

Materials

What goes into the construction of a kite? Both the kite and board are constructed from lightweight yet robust materials. As these materials continue to improve in strength and lightness, the cost of this combination will continue to rise.

Labor

Let's talk about how well it was made. The kites are not manufactured in a sweatshop but rather by highly trained individuals with a deep love for the sport of kitesurfing using machinery that was not created in China. 

Many of the same firms that make parachutes and paragliders also make kites, and the quality of these kites is on par with their other products. Hence, their cost is also comparatively higher than other sports equipment. 

Research

Let's have a peek at the planning stages now. In aerodynamics, there are several formulas, but the experiment is the gold standard for proof. Way too many at times. Therefore, we must consider them in the overall cost of the final product. 

Boards

Now is the time to examine the boards. They appear inconsequential at first, but don't let that fool you. In many cases, the design process requires someone with expertise in hydrodynamics. The experimental phase entails a lot of trial and error. These materials are costly. 

The amount of time spent on manual labor while manufacturing kitesurfing equipment is substantial. You get the point. Consider the cost of any other activity you like: snowboarding, skiing, skating, stand-up paddleboarding, or wakeboarding.

How to Take Epic GoPro Photos as a Solo Traveler

How to Take Epic GoPro Photos as a Solo Traveler https://www.theblondeabroad.com/how-to-take-epic-gopro-photos-as-a-solo-travelers/ Taking selfies is an art! If you don’t believe me, spend a bit more time on Instagram. Figuring out how to take the perfect shot does take a lot of practice. People often ask me how I take amazing GoPro shots as a solo traveler. I finally decided to put together a rundown of some of the tricks that I have learned along the way. Here are my tips on how to take epic GoPro photos as a solo traveler! Anytime we are talking about photography; settings are the best place to start. Learning which settings are best for different situations is an essential part of becoming a good photographer. Settings are particularly crucial for selfies because they really are more challenging to take than shots of other people. Raw Format: The most common setting for me is continuous shutter in RAW format. I love this option because it dramatically increases my odds of getting a gorgeous pic. Using the RAW setting is a must. Although it creates a bigger file size, it gives you the best quality pics. Since no information is compressed when you shoot in RAW, it is much easier to edit. Continuous Shutter: Continuous shutter is especially useful for selfies. It gives you a few shots to choose from, which lessens your chances of having your eyes closed in an otherwise perfect shot and other similar issues. Pro tip: While learning how to take a good shot is essential, having the right tools to edit your pics is priceless! Even the best photographers on the planet need to edit their photos. If you haven’t already, check out my Lightroom Presets for a collection of my fave fixes. Night Lapse Mode: This is so important in low light environments. From dimly lit rooms to shots of starry skies, night lapse mode is a must use. It will make a dramatic difference in the quality of pics that you can shoot in dark conditions. Burst Mode: To increase your odds of capturing the perfect shot, use burst mode on your GoPro. This will shoot a quick sequence of photos that will give you a video-like line of shots. Doing this will capture every exciting moment whether you are jumping off of a waterfall or just making a silly face. Voice Control: This is a total game changer for solo travelers. Just turn on this feature, and you can get hands-free selfies! Just say, “GoPro, take a photo,” and you will get a single shot in RAW format. For video, you’ll say, “GoPro, start video,” and you can create your own hands-free movie. What more could a solo traveler ask for? Video Settings: When it comes to mastering the GoPro, you will also want to figure out which video settings are best for different situations. For a slo-mo video, go for 60fps / 2.7k (or 240fps for super slo-mo). If you are planning on sharing on Instagram, YouTube, or FB Stories, opt for 24fps / 2.7k. If you are aiming for professional video production standards, use 24fps / 4k. Accessories Incredible accessories are a must for every girl on the go! For me, it’s all about the three-way mount. This gives a camera grip, extension arm, and tripod, so it’s perfect for pretty much any situation. I also bring my dual battery charger with me everywhere that I go. Having 2-3 batteries on hand is essential for travel, and it’s ultra-convenient to be able to charge two batteries simultaneously. Last but not least is my best amigo, El Grande! This seriously long pole (38 inches/ 3.16 feet) is perfect for paragliding and other times when you truly must capture the entire scene.
