summary :: together in blissful matrimony, miguel o'hara has never felt true happiness until he was by your side. when you're unexpectedly taken from him, he'll do anything in his power to avenge your death. what he doesn't expect is to find you during that process. or, at least, one version of you.

miguel o'hara's yandere traits are . . .

smothering, territorial, & paranoid

──── The gentle melody of piano and harp paint the room in an array of romantic hues. Snow drifts through the Winter air from outside the frozen windows of the venue. Family and friends stand around and admire the beautiful scene before them. You're adorned head-to-toe in white, like an angel who had just descended from the clouds. Miguel is dressed in the finest suit he searched high and low for to ensure it was perfect for this day. However, he knows no one is paying attention to him when you look as breathtaking as you do. His rough-skinned, yet gentle-mannered hand rests on your lower back, the other interlocking your hands together. With your head resting against his shoulder, he sways your body along to the gentle hum of music pervading the air.

Your first dance.

The golden light from the chandelier above serves as a spotlight for you and Miguel. Feeling his chest begin to shake, you move your head to look him in the eye. Tears of sheer happiness were cascading down his cheeks and a weak smile is plastered on his face. You swear that if you were to look up 'devotion' in a dictionary, the way he is looking at you would take up the entire page.

Miguel briefly disentangles his constricted hold on your hand to express his current, overwhelming feelings. He points his middle and ring finger down, the rest of the digits left pointing up. "I love you," that is what he is telling you. When he had first learned you were deaf, he spent his nights studying ASL and SSL in order to communicate with you. However, that single symbol is the one he always finds himself reverting to when all other signs and words fail him. I love you, I love you, I love you. Although Miguel won't express it verbally, he will express the three words through his hands for as long as he lives.

And Miguel remembers the best day of his life just as much as the worst day.

Just one month after you had both gleefully tied the knot, the two of you had gone on a stroll through Nueva York. The moon hangs heavy in the sky and darkness settles against the faint streetlights. Miguel made the vow to always protect you and you've found it to be comforting, relaxing. After a whole lifetime of being deaf and mute, you knew that you were far more vulnerable than others. Knowing you have the Spiderman as your husband causes your concern of any potential assailants to fade away. It's evident in the way his grip on your waist tightens when passerbys walk by and the perceptible shift in his eye when someone stares at you for a little too long.

You've always known he wouldn't let anything happen to you.

The following events all happen quicker than either of you can think. Just as you're crossing the bridge that overlooks the entire city in all its glory, a sudden black hole forms, framed with iridescent hues and overwhelming force. The power of the portals sudden appearance causes the bridge to vibrate beneath your feet. Screams of terror from pedestrians falling to their death goes unbeknownst to you as Miguel holds you against him with constricted tension and hides your face in his chest. The man you have chosen to spend the rest of your life ignores his duty of being the city’s superhero. All in favor of your life.

The remnants of the platform you stood on soon crumble. The red glare of Miguel’s web shoots from his wrist, to where it wraps itself around one of the numerous pillars spread upon the bridge to ensnare you further. But it was so quick, the way you slip from his tenacious grasp. Almost as if someone had forcefully snatched you from him. Innocent civilians shout and plead for Spiderman to save them, but Miguel can't hear them over the thumping of his own heartbeat. Even if he were to hear them, it would not stop him from tearing this entire city asunder in order to get to you.

He forms his hand into the same sign he uses to say 'I love you' and another blaring-red web, the same hue as his panic, springs from him and down to wrap itself around your body. He's done this a million times for others and saved the lives of practically everyone in the city. But, this is you. Miguel is digging his claws into crumbled pieces of the wreckage and shoving them through the air as if they were merely nothing, all in favor of saving you. However, you're both picking up speed and accelerating closer and closer and closer to the unforgiving ground. He latches his talons into a protruding pipe caused by the chaos and clings tight to the web connecting you with him, watching in trepidation as you continue to fall. Attempting to pull the web towards him and bring you back into his arms, where you belong, his efforts were futile.

A loud crack! permeates and his world falls apart.

Practically faster than light, Miguel is pummeling to the ground and to where you now lay. Your chest is flat with no breath and your body is lifeless. Blood is caked on your skull and it cascades onto the pavement beneath you. He rushes to your side, a mantra of ‘no’’s invading the dead, silent air. His heart is paralyzed in his chest as reality sinks into his bones. Desperate pleads escape through loud, violent sobs, begging for you to just open your eyes, hold your hand up, and tell him 'I love you, too'. He knows you cannot hear him, he knows this. But, this does not stop him from begging you, begging God, begging the universe, begging anyone to not do this to him, to not take away the only thing that has ever mattered to him. The only thing that has ever made him happy.

He'll never forget how he had stayed there for hours, ensnaring your lifeless body in his arms as the night faded into dawn. He'll never forget when he left you through brute force and was sent back to the desolate building he could only call home when you were in it. He'll never forget how he had spent days upon days studying the sudden black hole that formed and declared to destroy whoever caused it. The person responsible had taken you from him and if every soul in the galaxy has to pay in order for him to avenge the only one he loves, then so be it.

A year had gone by and every second without you become more tortuous than the last. Things that made him once glisten with joy only make his empty heart lurch with grief. Miguel is now present in the Spider-Society, desperate to manipulate any and all sources to eradicate who had so selfishly taken you from him. He'll just have to endure the yapping teenage-spiders that push at his buttons for the time being. All for you, he reminds himself.

At times, unbeknownst to Miguel, he'll start mumbling your wedding vows under his breath in front of the other spider-people to ease his mind. He knows it by heart; he will never forget it. They may all stare in disturbed confusion, but to mention your name to a man like him would be nothing short of a death sentence. "It's a soft spot, don’t poke it" Jess informs the others.

When the day is finally over and his everlasting efforts were brought to no avail, Miguel will return to the house you had planned on spending the rest of your lives in. Together. All life has been sucked out of the property. The wedding photos scattered about the premise have been derelict with shattered glass after enraged fits. The 'Just Married!' paint still sits on his car and decays with age, but he refuses to ever scrub it off. Your wedding ring, wedding dress/suit, and flower bouquet sit in indestructible cages he operated to preserve them. He fidgets with the wedding ring he vowed to never take off as he wallows in the despair of his silent home. If only he had been quicker; if only he hadn't been so weak.

The video of you dancing in matrimonial bliss ends and the monitor shuts off faster than Miguel could even blink.

The hefty, metal doors to the headquarters open to where several spider-people enter, pantomiming dramatically about the success of their previous missions. Their sudden appearance startles him, to where he demands to know why Lyla hadn't informed him of the spiders' incoming. Jess then enlightens him on his strict rule he set to not disturb him whenever your face is on screen. He exhales with a sigh of defeat and prepares himself for the onslaught of mayhem that would soon come his way. This time, however, a new recruit has joined the group.

Full-body suit hiding any form of physical identity and a soft voice that rarely comes out, Y/H/N from Earth-555 was requested to join the team by Jessica Drew herself. And Miguel couldn't care less if he tried. He'll let another spider on the team if it means keeping the multiverse stable and fueling his progress to one day finally kill the one responsible for your demise. Still, something allures him about this new recruit. Their real name and face are left a mystery to him, but there are certain moments with this stranger where he can't but be reminded of you. That soft voice and heedful hearing prevent him from fully indulging in your memory, but there are certain tics and habits they possess that catch him off guard.

The way you tap your feet when you’re focused, the way you scratch your wrists when you’re anxious, and the way you fidget with the hem of your clothes when you’re bored. And this is what life had been like for a while. Staring at the countless monitors that display a myriad of different information until his brain rots and returning hole to bathe in his misery until the next day repeats.

Several months into Y/H/N's time here is when the doors to the headquarters slam open and several spider-people all clamor in. All were breathless and bruised from a mission that ended messily. The new hero is in the mayhem, as well, exasperated as they rest against the wall. Miguel rolls his eyes at the sudden intrusion and leaves his spot at his desk to find out what these idiots had done now. They all scramble to defend themselves and point their finger at one another, while that new recruit is still trying to catch their breath in the corner. Pathetic. They should know by now that the sake of the multiverse can't afford even a minor mistake. Seeing them left so weak after a fight causes a dry laugh to escape his throat.

Their gloved fingers then grasp hold of the hem of their mask, before forcefully yanking it from their head. And it is like a miracle had materialized right before Miguel's eyes.

His stomach drops at the sudden intrusion of emotions. Shock, elation, disbelief, infatuation. Y/H/N, Earth-555's Spiderman, is his Y/N. You stand before him as you did all those years ago. Despite the dirt and blood smothered into your exposed skin, Miguel thinks you look almost as beautiful as you did when you walked down the aisle.

All you do is clench your eyes shut and try to wait for the pain in your abdomen to ease. The clattering arguments of the others only add fuel to the flame that is your suffering. Soon, there is a sudden wave of silence that washes over. Even with the agony coursing through your body, you were still able to catch the abrupt shift in the atmosphere. You open your eyes to find the man you had feared most, Miguel O'Hara, treading towards you and towering over you with his large figure. Paralyzed with fear, you had jumped to the conclusion that you had enranged him in some way. The terror is so overwhelming, you completely miss the sheer look of love in his eyes and how his pupils had morphed into the shape of a heart.

Eventually, you gain control of your numb body and make a break for it. Pain pumps like a drug through your damaged body, but you persevere and use every sliver of strength left in you to run from him. You're running through the city, dodging past all the numerous spider-people, and webbing through different buildings to escape this maniac of a man. During this, your name and demands for your return are shouted profusely. You don't have time to acknowledge how on Earth he had found out what your actual name was.

Mistakenly, you take a quick glance over your shoulder and almost shiver with fear at the sight alone. Miguel is barrelling after you on all fours like some sort of fucking animal, with fangs and claws out and all. Broken glass protrudes into his limbs from the numerous windows and walls he barreled through. Blood seeps through the torn cuts of his suit, exposing his bruised skin. The excess of vermillion webs clutters the complex from his frivolous attempts at retrieving you. It is utterly terrifying.

Somehow in the midst of chaos, you had found yourself back in the headquarters. The 'Go-Home Machine' practically calls out for you with its luminescent hues. You hear the muffled shouts of your name and the thumping of racing footsteps. In an attempt to use your webs for faster travel, you realize that during your chase, you had entirely run out of web fuel. Shit. From here, you resort to using your legs for once and practically throw yourself into the machine. The translucent spider above uses its limbs to piece together bits of the portals' walls as if it were merely stacking legos. Hope pokes at your brain, but you don't dare let yourself think the storm had washed over just yet. A deafening crash then permeates through the headquarters.

"STOP THEM! NOW!" The echo sends a chill straight into your bones. You watch the machine sputter with increased energy and hope that with enough time, this predator on your tail will find something else for dinner.

Miguel springs into the air as if he were weightless, before landing above you on the thick facade while it buzzes from heightened energy. You have nothing but this wall to protect you from this absolute rabid dog. Sheer trepidation caresses your skin with it's ice-cold touch as he attempts to claw through the membrane of space and time protecting you.

He is bone-chillingly terrifying as he slams all the strength in his body against the barrier. It becomes increasingly difficult for him to keep his grasp on the machine as it continues to charge with intensifying energy. This does not halt his efforts, though. If anything, Miguel has now become increasingly aggressive as the prospect of you leaving him again becomes more profound. The technology whirs from every punch and thrash Miguel gives in order to get to you. Static bolts of energy protrude the air like lightning bolts when he is finally able to tear a hole through the surface, eyes wide and crazed like some sort of beast.

In an attempt to stop him, you try and piece together the chunks of radiation that had been discarded from his unwanted entry. Upon doing so, Miguel is finally able to reach through the opening and dig his talons into your wrist. Your escape was right at the edge of your fingertips, but now you have been flung straight into the jaws of this monster. You splat harshly against the ground and with the state your body was now in, you knew for certain you could not fight anymore.

However, you don't even have a mere second to think of leaving anymore. Not when this vampire-spider has you pinned to the floor with ease faster than you could produce a single thought. He begins to shush you like a baby while you fight and thrash at his chest. His large hand cups your cheek with the same softness you would use to handle a kitten, while the other utilizes his strength to restrain your body.

"I got you! I got you back with me!" The pitch in his voice had raised as he pours his heart out to you. "I never thought I would see you again, but you’re here. My Y/N, you’ve come back to me…” Red eyes are blown wide and they practically stare daggers into you. All as if you were some sort of prey.

The only thing his words do justice in is confusing you further. What you had perceived before as anger was actually... Desperation? Relief? Love? This man has never spoken a single word to you for the entirety of your several months spent in the complex. You are perplexed as you try to think of what had triggered him to suddenly act this way towards you.

"I will never let anything happen to you again... Just let me under your skin..." Miguel's lips find their way down to your ear as he whispers to you the same way a lover would. The entire moment is so deranged, it makes you shudder with horror.

His teeth then sink into the nape of your neck as if his fangs were two needles. With a yelp, you feel warm blood escape and seep down your flesh. Something new swims through your bloodstream that was induced by his bite. Your body begins to fail you and lethargy envelops you like a warm blanket. And this man is like goddamn Dracula, slurping and drinking every last drop of your delicious essence. His calloused hands savor the feel of your body against his and he indulges in how much he had missed this, missed you. With a final, feeble attempt to defend yourself against your assailant, you're soon enveloped into a deep slumber within Miguel's embrace.

❝ ONE DAY, I WILL STOP

FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU . . . ❞

i wrote this all in one sitting after an all-nighter please bare with me lmao.

did you guys also know that the pupils of his eyes canonically turn into hearts?

[centeris2]

oh good lord where do I start, how far back, how obscure, how do I pick just one thing

but if was just one thing it's probably Laverne, who only appeared in the Starshine Legacy comics from like, 2006? 2007?

What's everyone's favourite bit of obscure lore from any part of the SSO franchise?

[unknownteapot]

In light of Courtney mentioning they would possibly want to direct a movie some day during the Q+A, what do you think a Smosh movie would look like with this current cast? Would it be similar to the original Smosh Movie? I'm imagining something similar to Smost the Sitcom Live, like a sitcom comedy maybe? Anyway you don’t have to answer, I’m just curious 🤗

anon, you are NOT ready i was BORN for this question and i'm about to type up a storm so strap in!! thank you for sending it in!!! me being a yapper + film student is not boding well for me rn...

i completely see what you mean about a sitcom/comedy type thing, their vibes during ssl were immaculate, but i also think if they *were* ever going to make a movie it'd be something vastly different from what they've done before just to keep it fresh and give people something never seen before. which is why..

i propose to you: a horror comedy about the cast getting stuck at the smosh office overnight (more below the cut)

hear me out HEAR ME OUT god im so passionate about this. this type of premise would avoid the cast having to play characters per se, they'd kind of just play 'themselves' so it's easier for the existing smosh fanbase to transition to this new movie format without it feeling gimicky/overproduced- the movie begins with just a typical end-of-video outro into the camera for smosh games (maybe only main cast and not freelance? bc full cast might be too many people for a movie idk) and then cuts out to the cast getting off the soundstage like hehe good shoot whatever whatever. but. wait a second. why is it past midnight?? quickly they're realising everyone's gone and its WAY late and they're locked in. all the clocks have stopped around the office. phones are all out of service (but show a weird little digital snake symbol as foreshadowing to something ;)

so now they're like uh-oh. what the fuck do we do. and promptly the cast splits into groups/pairs that all deal with this in their own way the movie would cut back and forth between. maybe amanda and angela deciding to steal alcohol from the kitchen and then snoop on people's desks?? finding out ian has a love locket of anthony in his drawer?? damien grows mushrooms under his desk??? olivia collect's people's candy wrappers?????? idk it could be ANYTHING which makes thsi SO FUNNY to me

BUT this is where the horror comes in, because suddenly people start going missing. and its not fun and games at all. the air feels weird, its like 3 am, everyone's losing their shit a little bit. they start regrouping to see who they can find "hey have you guys seen Angela?" "No, but Courtney just went missing too." "Guys I don't feel well.." AND LITTLE BY LITTLE. THEY START SEEING APPARITIONS. SMOSH CHARACTERS. WHO HAUNT THEM.

like i'm sorry. tell me it would NOT be hilarious for Mental Illness to come haunt the cast in an eerie ghost form??? Augustus??? insulting the cast (but hitting truths about them) making them think about their life decisions??? COURTNEY FREAKING MILLER???? JUST YELLING???? TELEPORTING AROUND THEM AND SCARING THE SHIT OUT OF THEM>?>>>>??? god the jumpscares they could do with this insane INSANE. BIZANKA???????????????? im

BUT NOT JUST SMOSH CHARACTERS- fnaf characters in their eerie ass suits, chica demanding Amanda why she held the door so hard that one time and didn't let her in meanwhile everyone is terrified and somewhat sobbing

so now its CHAOS, they're trying to stick together to avoid getting haunted, they're trying to find their missing friends, they're running around to the footsteps of animatronics, when suddenly they find a door to some storage closet open. they walk in.

there they are!!!! all their missing friends lying passed out on the floor and.. what's this strange hissing noise and why is it kinda foggy in there.. "Oh my god!" Amanda yells out in relief that none of this was real (or was it), "There's a gas leak at the smosh office!" And then promptly passes out. So do they all. THE END.

maybe a post-credits scene of ian and anthony coming into the office in the morning and finding a MESS and them all passed out like god. we gotta put baby gates in here or some shit. they keep messing stuff up!! OR BETTER. they dont know about the cast at first and look at each other with knowing smirks like "wanna go get high :)" and then they head towards where all their friends are passed out and we find out it was actually their secret 'gas leak' spot where they get high on the regular from the gas. ian pouting like "damnit. they found our secret spot :(" anthony shruggs like "oh well" and then they prance around the room trying to huff the gas like idiots and also pass out.

more insane ideas idk how to incorporate yet:

a comedic bit where Amanda bonds with Chica from fnaf and reads her tarot cards (amanda would SO be the person to chat her up after getting over her initial fear and be like 'hey, you just need love, honey. i get it, we've all been there') and its this insane horror yet adorable moment where these two world collide?? BONUS: if the rest of the cast hide in a corner and look at her like "how is she doing this???"

Tim the IT guy actually turning out to be a hologram that haunts all the computers with snake graphics (from that one smoffice sketch 'it could happen to any one of us!') and actually gets his energy from sucking out ram from people's devices

Props and shit moving!!! just so much potential

INNOVATIVE FORMAT:

AND a great way to introduce horror elements could be through this whole 'found footage' thing- you know how in some movies you find like someone's security cam recording etc etc. they could SO integrate elements of that because the smoffice is primarily for content creation so there's LOTS of cameras everywhere

"Hey uh.. guys I think this camera's still rolling." And its us watching footage of that room through it MASTERFUL. or people recording tiktoks and we watch through their screen recording but we see stuff in the background moving before they do YEAH. the HORROR OF IT. god i love movies

okay for everyone's sanity i will now stop i was actually not expecting to type this much- anon who sent this ask, i owe you everything!! im now obsessed with this idea i wish this was real w o w

[ps-cactus]

Invented a little thingy for the detective Auror drama arc in my fic

🪄✨Residual Dark Magic Indicator, affectionately nicknamed "Shadowgrip" by one of my OCs.

It’s a wand handle-like device of Elm wood, intricately engraved with magical runes. When connected to a wand, the runes glow if the wand was recently used to cast certain spells (only applies to powerful forms of magic)

Elaboration ⬇️

Crafting: the handle is made of Elm wood; the runes are carved into the wood using an enchanted dagger, then coated with a stabilizer potion (you have to be really careful touching it).

🌳Wand lore about Elm: ...fewest accidents, the least foolish errors, and the most elegant charms and spells; these were sophisticated wands, capable of highly advanced magic in the right hands. So I HC Elm to be used for a device which should serve as a precise indicator.

How to get one: Each RDMI is uniquely crafted to detect specific types of magical residue, depending on its rune set. In my lore, the only known RDMIs belong to the OC Head Auror (of the Northern Command), who owns two of these Shadowgrips. These were custom-designed by a wandmaker in collaboration with this Auror for investigative purposes.

These two Shadowgrips and their functions: N1: Detects if a wand was recently used to cast Unforgivable Curses. N2: Detects if a wand was recently used to cast spells from another small, specific set (spoilers for my SSL fic, so I won’t specify).

Limitations: ❗️It requires precision and deep knowledge of runes to craft this device. ❗️It can only detect powerful forms of magic that were recently cast (it can't detect spells that were cast earlier than three days before). ❗️The sensitive runes wear off after around seven uses; the RDMI becomes highly unreliable at this point and must be replaced.

🧪Muggle Analogy (partly ofc, I just was inspired by the concept): chemical analysis methods (btw already known in 19th century and earlier): Reagent Reactions: Chemicals + reagents cause visible changes (e.g., iodine indicating starch).

[casuallyawkardd]

Hi there, could you write some headcanons for miguel and a deaf reader? It can be sfw or nsfw or both, whatever you want. Thank you! I love reading your stuff 🖤

Thank you for reading 🥰 I'm glad you enjoy my content. Now...to SFW or NSFW hehe I'm so clever...fuck it let's do both.

Pairing: Miguel O'Hara x Deaf!Reader

Warnings: NSFW MINORS DNI! But you can read the SFW~ sex, bit of rough sex, some fluff, lowkey bottom!miguel, kinda sorta choking?

SFW

It would start with notes. It's already hard enough finding people who know sign language, even more so when said people are part of a Spider Society. All of which coming from different universes with their own different forms of sign language. So you stick to writing/typing what you want to say and most of the other spiders just write back or have you lip read.

This is a short lived system with Miguel. He's usually busy when you try to talk to him and the time it takes to read and respond is too much time away from his work. At least in his opinion. He eventually just programs Lyla to be a translator, even gives you access to her to use when you need, whether it be talking to him, the other spiders or during meetings.

Once the two of you get to know each other better, he takes the time to learn sign language. He's a smart cookie, so it comes pretty easy to him. He'll even pick up SSL so he can share his mother tongue with you. The more attached he gets to you also equivalates with how much attention he gives.

Instead of using Lyla as a translator so he can focus on his work, now all you have to do is tap him on the shoulder and his eyes are fixated on you. It's a little intimidating at first, his gaze intense as he watches you sign, but you get used to it the longer you're around him. He hates when people try to talk to him while you are; in his mind they're talking over you. So he's snapped at a few people/completely ignored them.

"¡Cállate! Y/N is talking."

"Huh? I was listening to Y/N."

If you are interested in the idea, he'll even go out of his way to make hearing aids. I picture his universe is almost utopic in that the cost for medicine/prosthetics is either really cheap or just plain free. That being said, he'd probably still just make you a pair of hearing aids on his own, more sentimental that way. However, if you turn down the offer he's fine with that too. Your body, your choice right?

NSFW

Love, love, loves having your hands on his throat. He wants you to feel the vibration when he moans for you. To feel the rumble in his chest when he growls in satisfaction. His favorite position is you on top of him, hands on his chest or wrapped around his neck while you bounce on his cock.

Miguel likes to be able to see your face, wanting the visual of just how good he's making you feel. Your moans and whimpers aren't enough, he wants to see your eyes roll back in your head. The little bit of drool on your chin when he fucks you thoughtless. His hand tangled in your hair, giving a slight tug to get your attention. When he has it, he makes you read his lips while he tells you just how good you are for him.

"You still with me, cariño? Or are you too cock drunk already?"

The feeling is mutual. You also enjoy watching him when you have sex. How his brows knit together and his jaw goes slack when he enters you; like he's about to cum then and there. How when you wiggle your hips just right while you're riding he goes a little cross eyed and his grip on your waist is just a bit tighter.

"Ay, dios mio, vas a ser la muerte de mi." Oh, my god, you are going to be the death of me.

The two of you develop your own form of communication in the bedroom. Miguel trailing light kisses along your neck and back as praise, large hands squeezing the parts of you he loves most. You tapping on his thigh to tell him to go faster, biting his flesh to encourage him to be rougher. It's not an exact science, but you each know what the other is trying to communicate and that's what matters.

In the afterglow, he likes to look at you. Sometimes you're already asleep, face half buried in a pillow and lightly snoring. He'll comb his fingers through your hair as he admires the view, pulling you against him and humming contently, making you smile in your sleep as the sound reverberates against your back. Other times Miguel just lays there and watches you talk; half paying attention, half just admiring your naked form. Eventually, he'll gently take your hands in his and kiss the knuckles, which can mean two things. One being that he's ready to go to sleep, the other being his way of saying he's ready for round two.

So there's been times I've wondered what Belle would look like if she was cursed to be a beast as well, so today I finally decided to draw it. Maybe this is an AU where the movie pulls a Shrek and instead of Beast becoming human, Belle turns into a beast like him and they live happily ever after (but I like to think Lumiere, Cogsworth and all the other servants return to being human cuz they still deserve it either way).

As reference for this I didn't just look at pictures of Belle and pictures of Beast but also pictures of Beast's human form Prince Adam just to analyze what human features were kept in his beast form so I could do the same for Belle (for example, he still has those thick brows as a human (https://i0.wp.com/img.screencaps.us/199/4k-batb/full/4k-batb-animationscreencaps.com-12634.jpg?ssl=1) so I didn't give Belle thick brows since Adam had those before he became Beast). However even if thinks like facial structure remained in Adam's beast form, he's still mainly a mix of different animals and the one true human trait left in his appearance are his eyes, so I tried doing the same with Belle. Also I didn't give her that goat beard that Beast has just to add some sexual dimorphism to the design.

Also I decided to have Belle wear a shirt in her beast form because even though she's a hairy monster now and therefore breasts aren't a censorship concern, my thought process while drawing this was "How would Disney do this?" and I came to the conclusion that they'd probably not want her shirtless either. Her "shirt" is actually part of her dress; the blue part (I'm sorry, I can't remember the right terminology for dress parts lol) ripped off while she was transforming and so did the bottom of her dress so now it just looks like a shirt, and she wears pants that she borrowed from Beast's wardrobe.

So what do you think? Does she look beastly enough?

River's Edge & The Flat Battle? Field: Deep Diving a Single Word

So the 1993 manga River's Edge, by Kyoko Okazaki, was finally officially released in English last week. It's a problematic fave of mine, and (as I discussed in my review of it many moons ago), the peak of its edgy angst is this poem, standing alone on a field of black, near the end of the book:

"The flat battlefield" is a phrase that has really stuck with me since I read it, and anything that has that level of sticking power is a meaningful piece of art. My opinion of the manga has grown over time.

So when I got to this section in the official translation and I saw:

I was a bit bummed, "flat field" really just lacks the impact "battlefield" ha-

-wait what?

Reprinted by Permission of SSL/Sterling Lord Literistic, Inc. Copyright by William Gibson, originally published in "Robert Longo"

Okazaki didn't write this, William Gibson did?? The American cyberpunk fiction author? He...writes poetry? Turns out by the way this attribution is in the original manga, it just didn't survive the scanlation process.

I was curious about both how and when this translation shift occurred (if it ever did), and the origin of this poem - which was really hard to find! "Robert Longo" is not a book, he's a person - an American artist and filmmaker who directed the 1995 movie Johnny Mnemonic, which William Gibson wrote the screenplay for (and wrote the short story it is an adaptation of). When you search books by the two of them nothing really turns up - at least on the western side of things. In America they never really did publish a book. But in Japan they published a few actually - some too late for 1993's River's Edge, but in 1991: 

Publisher Kyoto Shion's Art RANDOM series, vol. 71, featuring the collected art of Robert Longo, edited by Kyoichi Tsuzuki...and featuring inset poetry by William Gibson. Funnily enough one of the listings (Fukkan) actually notes:

現代美術コレクターだけでなく、ウィリアム・ギブスンのファン、岡崎京子のファン共々気になる作品集だと思います。 This is a work that will be of interest not only to contemporary art collectors, but also to fans of William Gibson and Kyoko Okazaki.

The poem from this book - which is called "The Beloved: Voices for Three Heads" - is way more famous as a reference by Okazaki than as a work by Gibson. Which turned out to be a problem when I wanted to dig deeper and find the actual poem and its context; when you google it you get...almost entirely Japanese results discussing River's Edge! Which means I couldn’t actually find the poem, just Japanese translations of it. And I am pretty sure the poem was not originally in Japanese - the bookseller listings note that the book is bilingual in both Japanese & English, the Gibson poems would be the obvious English candidates. 

However, buried beneath piles of mid-2000’s Japanese Okazaki fandom blog posts, I found the work of academic Gary Westfahl. He wrote a deep dive book in 2013 on the works of William Gibson, and in the abstract header for Chapter Five:

It also considers Gibson's poems such as “The Beloved: Voices for Three Heads,” his ventures into writing song lyrics, and the approach he used in some of his later nonfiction works

Ba-bam - and with a quick trip to LibGen pulling up a pdf version of the book, here we go: 

Gibson's first literary publications, in 1963, were poems, and he obviously remained interested in the form, since in the 1980s and 1990s, when artists approached him about collaborative projects, he usually provided poetry. To date, Gibson has published three poems, not counting fanzine efforts, along with two other poems available only as excerpts.  Asked to contribute to Robert Longo's 1989 performance piece Dream Jumbo, Gibson wrote a poem, "The Beloved: Voices for Three Heads," later included in a book, Robert Longo: Art Random, largely devoted to documenting that show

Gary fucking Westfahl, coming through in the clutch!! I was curious why this combination art book/poetry existed, but now it makes sense; the poem and the art were already a packaged deal as part of a performance art exhibit. And this also explains why the poem was so hard to find - as of 2013 Gibson only ever published 3 poems in his career! I am curious how this play got over to Japan - Dream Jumbo premiered in LA in 1989, but additionally in 1989 Longo had a titular "Robert Longo" art exhibit at the Seibu Contemporary Art Gallery in Tokyo, which had its own art book published - its fair to say he was "big in Japan" and so the success of Dream Jumbo made its way over. He would actually run a sort of gallery-version of the performance in Tokyo in 1995, for which he gave an interview that taught me that the name "dream jumbo" is pulled from the name of a popular Japanese lottery; perhaps it was always destined for Japan and also Robert Longo is a bit of a weeb.

ANYWAY the actual text of the poem: 

Our love knew The flat field

Yeah, it was originally ‘field’. Westfahl also confirms that this poem was only ever published in print in Japan, making it virtually unknown outside of it. Which, and this is kind of cool, means that the publishing of the translation of the Japanese manga River's Edge is the first time Gibson's "The Beloved: Voices for Three Heads" has ever been published in the West. 

Knowing that the original is ‘field’, I checked the original Japanese page for River's Edge and:

戦場 - Battlefield

The first kanji is literally 'war', this is not ambiguous, there is no other read here. River's Edge changed the word from "field" to "battlefield" - assuming that the original art book did not have its own Japanese translation of the poem. On reflection, it probably did; it's not like Okazaki herself is a translator, and in the manga the poem’s translation is credited to translator Hisashi Kuromaru, who had previously translated Gibson’s novel Neuromancer. However, it’s not like I have a copy to check, so I can’t say for sure.

…or so I thought! But when looking around for Kuromaru’s translation credits, I stumbled on the most precious resource one can find; a blog post from an Okazaki-otaku a decade+ after the fact who was obsessed with the poem and hunted down a copy of the original Art RANDOM artbook to see it for themselves. In their post they give a line by line comparison of the poem and its translation…credited to Kuromaru, confirming that this book is where the translation comes from. And lo and behold:

Kuromaru is the source of our creative twist. Chad of chads, “Tach” from 2005.

What is funny is that this is not like a tiny little quirk I am interested in - I mean, okay, it's mainly that. But "the battlefield" is actually a small part of Okazaki's brand as an artist. Here is a sketch she sold titled "Girl's Life on the Battlefield" (It uses the same kanji)

Here is a link to an exhibit of her work in Japan that was titled:

(Her art is incredibly on point btw).

Here is an entire book by art critic Noi Sawagari investigating How we survive on a flat battlefield - Kyoko Okazaki's theory! The one Amazon review says its content is "thin” and it was “tiring to read”, 2 stars, ouch.

But you get what I'm saying- Okazaki leaned into this phrase. I'm actually a little let down, when I read River’s Edge and was so taken with this specific moment I thought it was a ‘me’ thing; turns out the entire country of Japan was equally smitten and it became the tagline for the manga. Real loss of hipster points for me on this one! Still, I really think “battlefield” is way more impactful - this elevation of the phrase would not have happened if it was just ‘field’, I feel confident on that. And I am not calling the translation ‘wrong’, or anything. It is just one of those tiny contingencies, this liberal translation and odd series of events, art crossing from LA to Japan, led to a brand for an up-and-coming josei manga author that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. And in fact, I am willing to say that the translation just published by Kodansha of River’s Edge is… not right. It doesn’t matter what Gibson wrote - this is Okazaki’s poem now. She wrote a manga about the battlefield, all of her fans agree, and a truly faithful translation would build on that.

So I’m sticking with “battlefield” and y’all should too.

[forsythe-dichotomy]

Hello hello! This is going to be a page dedicated to documenting my experiences with daemonism.

What is daemonism?

Daemonism is a form of thought that assigns a "name & face" to a portion of your internal dialogue. The practice was inspired by Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series. You're basically creating an animal buddy in your head that is supposed to help you improve mentally/motivate you.

Where do I find more resources?

There is a very small community on Tumblr that is frequently overshadowed by other plurals like parogens and the DID community. There is nothing wrong with this! We just have to look a little harder.

There are a few Discord communities you can find, as well as an online forum with a ton of useful info (https://daemonpage.com/forum/). I can't recommend it enough. They do have a scary disclaimer when you go to make an account about liability related to hacking, but rest assured the site is SSL secured and all data stored should be encrypted (i asked the devs).

What's your daemon(s)? Why is this called the Forsythe Dichotomy?

I am still in the process of determining my daemon's form, so I don't have an answer for that yet!

This Tumblr is called the Forsythe Dichotomy because it's a nice combination of a family name and an applicable word since I only desire to have one daemon. Therefore, it's like splitting into two parts (dichotomy).

What are your important tags?

I try to identify all of my original posts with #forsythe dichotomy

Journal entries are tagged with #journal

The "Finding Your Familiar" series is tagged as #find your familiar

Enjoy reading!

Comparing Wordpress Hosting in the UK

When it comes to building a website, one of the most critical decisions you'll make is selecting a hosting provider. For those seeking a platform that combines flexibility, ease of use, and scalability, **WordPress hosting in the UK** is an excellent choice. In this blog post, we will delve into various aspects of WordPress hosting specifically tailored for the UK market, helping you make an informed decision.

What Is Wordpress Hosting and Why Is It Important?

**WordPress hosting** refers to a type of web hosting that is optimised specifically for WordPress websites. Unlike generic web hosting, WordPress hosting is tailored to enhance the performance, security, and management of WordPress sites. This optimisation can take various forms, including server configurations, caching mechanisms, and specialised support. The importance of WordPress hosting lies in its ability to provide a seamless and efficient website experience. A well-optimised hosting environment can significantly improve site speed, which is crucial for retaining visitors and achieving higher search engine rankings. In addition, WordPress hosting often includes built-in security features such as automatic updates, malware scanning, and SSL certificates, which help protect your site from cyber threats. Another critical aspect is the ease of management. Many WordPress hosting providers offer managed services, meaning they handle technical tasks like software updates, backups, and security patches. This allows website owners to focus more on content creation and business operations rather than technical maintenance. Managed hosting can be particularly beneficial for those who lack technical expertise or simply wish to save time. Furthermore, specialised support is a key benefit of WordPress hosting. Providers typically have support teams well-versed in WordPress, capable of resolving issues more efficiently than general hosting support. This can be a lifesaver when facing unexpected problems or needing guidance on optimising your site. Finally, WordPress hosting often comes with additional tools and features designed to enhance functionality, such as one-click installations, staging environments, and developer tools. These features make it easier to customise and extend your website according to your specific needs.

Key Features to Look for in a UK WordPress Hosting Provider

When selecting a WordPress hosting provider, focusing on specific features can ensure you get the best performance and reliability for your site. One of the top priorities should be **managed WordPress hosting**, which handles tasks like updates and backups, freeing you to concentrate on content creation. Additionally, **automatic backups** are essential, providing peace of mind that your data is secure and can be restored if needed. **Security features** should be high on your list, including SSL certificates, firewalls, and malware scanning to protect your site from various threats. Equally important is **scalability**, allowing your hosting solution to grow with your website without requiring a complex migration process. **Customer support** is another crucial feature. Opt for providers that offer 24/7 support, ensuring assistance is available whenever you need it. Look for support options like live chat, phone, and a comprehensive knowledge base to troubleshoot issues swiftly. Other valuable features include **staging environments** for testing changes safely before deploying them live, and **one-click installations** for easy setup. **Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)** and **SSD storage** can further enhance your site's speed and performance, particularly important for retaining visitors and improving SEO rankings.

Top WordPress Hosting Providers in the UK

Several reputable WordPress hosting providers operate in the UK, each offering unique features and benefits to cater to different needs: - **SiteGround**: Renowned for its stellar customer support and managed WordPress hosting options. SiteGround is ideal for users seeking reliable performance and ease of management. - **Bluehost**: Officially recommended by WordPress, Bluehost provides a user-friendly experience, making it an excellent choice for beginners. Their plans include automatic updates and robust security features. - **Kinsta**: A premium managed hosting provider that focuses heavily on performance and speed, utilising Google Cloud infrastructure. Kinsta's services are suited for high-traffic websites that require top-notch performance. - **WP Engine**: Known for its high performance, robust security measures, and comprehensive support. WP Engine offers advanced features like staging environments and developer tools, making it a strong option for professionals. - **Fasthosts**: A UK-based provider offering budget-friendly plans without compromising on support. Fasthosts provides scalable solutions suitable for both small and large websites, with options to upgrade as your needs grow. - **TsoHost**: Offers a range of plans including shared, VPS, and cloud hosting, designed to cater to diverse requirements. Their UK-based data centres ensure optimal speed and compliance with local regulations. These providers offer a variety of plans and features, allowing you to find a solution that fits your specific needs and budget.

Speed and Performance Considerations for UK Users

Website speed is a pivotal element influencing user experience and search engine optimisation (SEO) rankings. For users in the UK, opting for a hosting provider with servers located within the country can drastically improve loading times, as proximity to the server reduces latency. Beyond server location, other critical factors to consider include caching solutions and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Caching stores a version of your website so that it can be delivered faster to repeat visitors, while CDNs distribute your content across multiple global locations, ensuring quicker access for users regardless of their geographic location. Solid State Drives (SSDs) also play a crucial role by providing faster data retrieval compared to traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). Look for hosting providers that offer advanced performance features such as PHP 7.x support, HTTP/2, and integrated caching mechanisms like Varnish or Memcached. These technologies can enhance the speed at which your website loads, improving overall user satisfaction. In addition, regular monitoring and performance analytics can help identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement. Many UK-based WordPress hosting providers include these tools in their plans, enabling you to make data-driven decisions to optimise your site's performance continuously. Focusing on these aspects ensures your website not only meets but exceeds the expectations of your UK audience, fostering better engagement and higher retention rates.

Understanding Security Features in UK WordPress Hosting

**Security is paramount when it comes to maintaining a reliable and trustworthy website. UK-based WordPress hosting providers often implement a range of robust security measures designed to protect your site from various cyber threats. Regular malware scans are essential, offering early detection and removal of malicious software that could compromise your website's integrity.** **DDoS protection is another critical feature, safeguarding your site against Distributed Denial of Service attacks, which aim to overwhelm your server with traffic, rendering it inaccessible. Automatic updates ensure that your WordPress software and plugins remain current, addressing potential vulnerabilities as soon as fixes are released.** **Firewalls serve as a barrier against unauthorised access, blocking malicious traffic and preventing attacks. Additionally, many hosting providers include intrusion detection systems to monitor and respond to suspicious activity in real time.** **Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of identification beyond just a password, making it significantly harder for attackers to gain access. SSL certificates are typically standard, encrypting data transmitted between your site and its visitors to protect sensitive information like login credentials and payment details.** **Finally, some providers offer security audits and vulnerability assessments, providing insights into potential risks and recommendations for improvement. These comprehensive security measures collectively enhance the safety and reliability of your WordPress site in the UK.**

Customer Support: Why Localised Support Matters

Access to localised customer support can make a significant difference when managing your WordPress site. Local support teams understand the unique challenges and requirements faced by UK-based websites, offering more tailored and effective assistance. They are also well-versed in local regulations, such as GDPR, ensuring that your website complies with legal standards. Language and time zone compatibility are additional benefits of localised support. When you encounter an issue, you can expect quicker response times and clearer communication, eliminating the frustration of language barriers and inconvenient support hours. This immediate assistance is invaluable, particularly in urgent situations where downtime could impact your business. Many UK hosting providers offer 24/7 support, giving you peace of mind that help is available whenever you need it. Whether through live chat, phone support, or an extensive online knowledge base, local support teams can resolve issues more efficiently. They are familiar with the specific needs and expectations of UK customers, which can result in more relevant and effective solutions. In addition, localised support often means a more personalised experience. UK-based providers typically have smaller support teams, allowing them to offer a higher level of customer service. This personal touch can make all the difference, especially for small businesses and individual site owners who may require more dedicated assistance.

Pricing: Getting the Best Value for Your Money

When evaluating pricing for **WordPress hosting in the UK**, it's essential to balance cost with value. While a lower price can be enticing, scrutinise the features and services included. Assess factors such as storage capacity, bandwidth limits, and the quality of customer support provided. Some providers offer introductory rates that increase upon renewal, so be aware of long-term costs. Look for packages that include essential features like SSL certificates, automatic backups, and security enhancements without additional charges. Compare different providers to ensure you're not missing out on critical functionalities. Some hosting companies offer flexible payment plans, such as monthly or annual billing, which can help manage your budget more effectively. Additionally, consider any hidden fees that may arise, such as charges for exceeding bandwidth or additional storage. By carefully analysing these elements, you can find a hosting solution that offers both affordability and comprehensive support, ensuring you get the best return on your investment.

Scalability and Flexibility of UK Hosting Providers

As your website evolves, having a hosting provider that supports scalability and flexibility becomes paramount. UK hosting providers often offer plans that can be easily upgraded to accommodate increased traffic, storage, and other resource demands. This capability is crucial for businesses anticipating growth, ensuring that your site can handle higher visitor numbers without performance issues. Look for providers that offer seamless upgrade paths, allowing you to enhance your plan without experiencing downtime or complex migration processes. Flexible hosting solutions often include options like VPS (Virtual Private Server) and dedicated hosting, which provide more control and resources compared to shared hosting environments. This flexibility allows you to adjust your hosting environment to meet changing needs effectively. Many UK hosting providers also offer pay-as-you-go models, enabling you to add resources like bandwidth and storage as required, without committing to higher-tier plans upfront. This approach is particularly beneficial for seasonal businesses or websites that experience fluctuating traffic levels. Additionally, some providers offer features like auto-scaling, which automatically allocates more resources during traffic spikes to maintain optimal performance. Finally, ensure that your hosting provider supports various integrations and plugins, allowing you to extend your website's functionality as needed. This adaptability can be a significant advantage, providing the tools necessary to grow and enhance your site over time.

The Importance of Data Centres and Server Locations in the UK

For websites targeting a UK audience, the location of data centres is a critical factor that directly impacts performance. Hosting your site on servers located within the UK can drastically reduce latency, leading to faster load times for local visitors. This proximity to the server ensures that data travels a shorter distance, which can significantly enhance the user experience. Local data centres also play a crucial role in compliance with GDPR regulations. UK-based data centres are more likely to adhere to local data protection laws, providing an added layer of security for your website’s data. This is particularly important for businesses that handle sensitive customer information, ensuring that data is stored and processed within legal frameworks. Additionally, having data centres in the UK means that your hosting provider can offer more reliable support tailored to your specific needs. Localised infrastructure allows for quicker response times in case of technical issues, ensuring that your site remains operational with minimal downtime. This can be especially beneficial during peak traffic periods when site performance is paramount. Lastly, the environmental impact of data centres should not be overlooked. Many UK hosting providers are adopting green energy solutions to power their data centres, aligning with broader sustainability goals and reducing carbon footprints. This not only supports environmental initiatives but also enhances your brand's commitment to sustainability.

Specialised WordPress Hosting Options Available in the UK

For WordPress users with specific needs, several UK hosting providers offer specialised hosting options. **WooCommerce hosting** is designed for e-commerce sites, providing features that enhance speed, security, and transaction handling. This type of hosting often includes pre-installed WooCommerce plugins, optimised server configurations, and dedicated support for online stores. **Multisite hosting** is another specialised option, ideal for users managing multiple WordPress sites from a single dashboard. This solution simplifies the management process, offering a centralised control panel to handle updates, backups, and other administrative tasks across all sites. **Staging environments** are crucial for those who wish to test changes or new features without affecting their live site. These environments allow users to create a copy of their site to experiment safely before deploying updates, ensuring that any potential issues can be resolved beforehand. Additionally, some providers offer **developer-focused hosting** with advanced tools such as SSH access, Git integration, and customisable server settings. These features cater to developers who require a high degree of control over their hosting environment, enabling them to tailor their setup to specific project needs. By offering these specialised options, UK WordPress hosting providers cater to a diverse range of requirements, making it easier for users to find a solution that aligns with their unique needs.

User Experience: How UK Providers Enhance Usability

UK hosting providers focus heavily on enhancing usability to ensure a seamless experience for their users. Many offer intuitive control panels like cPanel or custom-built dashboards that simplify website management tasks. These interfaces often feature drag-and-drop functionalities, making it straightforward for users to upload files, manage domains, and configure email settings without needing technical expertise. Providers frequently include one-click installations for WordPress and other popular applications, streamlining the setup process. This feature allows users to launch their websites quickly without grappling with complex configurations. Additionally, many UK hosting companies offer extensive knowledge bases, video tutorials, and community forums, providing valuable resources for troubleshooting and site optimisation. For ongoing site maintenance, automated tools such as backup services and update notifications are commonly integrated. These tools ensure that sites remain secure and up-to-date with minimal manual intervention. Enhanced usability extends to performance monitoring features, enabling users to track metrics like site speed and uptime easily. Real-time analytics help identify potential issues before they impact the user experience, allowing for prompt resolution. By prioritising these user-friendly features, UK hosting providers make website management accessible, even for those with limited technical skills.

Case Studies: Success Stories from UK-Based WordPress Sites

The success of UK-based websites using WordPress hosting is evident through various case studies. Take "The Independent," a leading news outlet that utilises WordPress for its robust content management system. By leveraging advanced caching solutions and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), they've optimised their site speed and user experience, accommodating millions of daily visitors efficiently. Another notable example is "Graze," the snack subscription service that has scaled its e-commerce operations seamlessly with specialised WooCommerce hosting. The integration of automatic backups, SSL certificates, and tailored support has allowed them to maintain a secure and efficient online store, boosting customer trust and engagement. Local educational institutions like "University of Oxford" have also benefitted from WordPress hosting. Utilising features such as staging environments and managed hosting services, they have created dynamic, user-friendly portals that cater to students and faculty alike. Small businesses like "BrewDog," a craft beer company, have taken advantage of developer-focused hosting to customise their websites extensively. This flexibility has enabled them to create unique, engaging online experiences that align with their brand identity. These examples demonstrate the diverse capabilities of WordPress hosting in the UK, catering to various industries and needs effectively.

Environmental Impact: Green Hosting Options in the UK

As environmental concerns take centre stage, many UK hosting providers are adopting eco-friendly practices to reduce their carbon footprint. These green hosting solutions often involve using renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar power, to operate data centres. Energy-efficient hardware and cooling technologies further minimise energy consumption, ensuring a more sustainable operation. Providers like GreenGeeks and Eco Web Hosting have made significant strides in this area, offering services that not only perform well but also contribute positively to the environment. Some companies even participate in carbon offset programmes, planting trees or investing in renewable energy projects to balance out their emissions. Additionally, hosting companies may implement policies to reduce waste, such as promoting digital documentation over printed materials and encouraging remote work to cut down on travel emissions. By choosing a green hosting provider, you can support these environmental initiatives, aligning your website with broader sustainability goals.

Final Thoughts: Choosing the Best WordPress Hosting for Your Needs

Selecting the best WordPress hosting in the UK can be a daunting task, given the myriad of options available. However, focusing on key aspects such as performance, security, customer support, and scalability can streamline your decision-making process. Performance is vital; ensure the provider offers advanced caching solutions, SSD storage, and local data centres to optimise loading times. Security should not be compromised, so look for features like SSL certificates, firewalls, and regular malware scans. Customer support is another crucial factor, particularly localised support that understands UK-specific challenges and regulations. 24/7 availability and multiple support channels can provide peace of mind and quick resolutions to any issues. Scalability is essential for future growth. Opt for a provider that offers seamless upgrade paths and flexible resource allocation to accommodate increasing traffic and storage needs. Specialised hosting options, such as WooCommerce hosting for e-commerce sites or developer-focused hosting, can offer additional benefits tailored to your specific requirements. Finally, consider the environmental impact. Green hosting options not only benefit the planet but can also enhance your brand's sustainability credentials. By weighing these factors carefully, you can find a WordPress hosting solution that aligns perfectly with your goals and ensures a smooth, secure, and efficient online presence.

Boosting WordPress security is crucial for protecting your website from potential threats. Start by regularly updating your WordPress core, themes, and plugins to ensure you’re using the latest security patches. Outdated software is a common target for hackers, making updates a vital first step in safeguarding your site.

Another essential step is to implement strong passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA) for all user accounts. Weak passwords are easy to crack, while 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification. These measures can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your WordPress site.

Hakuoki SSL Hakuo Gakuen Story Vol 1. Toudou Heisuke

Since SSL got its Switch release... I decided to translate some SSL stuff. I got tl for the five of 薄桜学園物語 stories (which is all of them! mentioning that since I have some Souji SSL magazine stories saved but I don't think it's complete) that were originally published in the 電撃GS杂志 magazines... though I didn't save who spoke for each line (the sentences were colour-coated!). It shouldn't really be an issue for this since there are only two people in this though....

Anyway, this translation is of 薄桜学園物語 vol.1 藤堂平助 and this was originally published in GS杂志2014年3月号.

Hakuoki SSL Hakuo Gakuen Story Vol 1. Toudou Heisuke

Translation by KumoriYami

Early February.

Beneath the blue sky of the warm and cold season, on the roof of the Hakuo Gakuen school building, were Okita Souji and Toudou Heisuke, who had sneaked out during the self-study period.

"Hey, Heisuke. I saw that you were staring at the dessert/sweets in your hand just now, what are you thinking about?"

"Hm... I was thinking that, that day is almost here."

"That day, meaning?"

"It's, that's, that… That's the day you receive chocolate then send a gift in return?"

"What, so you're talking about Valentine's Day? Ah… I see. So you were reminded of Valentine's Day when you saw those sweets by the entrance."

"That's right... so don't ask me about things you already know."

"You want to eat chocolate that much? You can just buy it for yourself."

"I'm telling you… wouldn't it be pointless if I bought it myself? Because it's Valentine's Day, giving chocolate is proof that the other person values you, which is why it's a day worth celebrating."

"Eh… so you have someone that you want to receive chocolates from."

"Th-That isn't the case/N-No, it's not like that."

"In any case, at our all-boys school, there isn't a single girl, so this type of celebration has nothing to do with us."

"Ye... Yeah... it has nothing to do with us."

"Huh? Speaking of which, Heisuke, you said that you received chocolate last year, right? Who gave it?"

"Uh… apparently my mother?"

"No, no, it wasn't."

"Th-That was, it should have been a kouhai?"

"Did one of the younger male students give it?"

"Uh… Ah, aah, right! It was from my childhood sweetheart…."

"So that's how it is… a childhood sweetheart. Hearing you say that, it seems there was something like that."

"Ye-Yes? I remembered that I received Giri chocolate form her. Right right, it was like that."

"She, ah…. Despite it being Giri chocolate, I'm under the impression that you're quite happy about it."

"Th-There's no such——! It's just Giri chocolate! Because it's Giri chocolate, even if I receive it, I won't be happy at all——!"

"Then, if you also receive Giri chocolate from your childhood sweetheart this year, give it to me."

"Huh...?"

"Because you said that won't be happy, doesn't that mean you don't want it?"

"No, that, well, even though it's Giri chocolate… that's still not good."

"Is it? Hijikata-sensei and Sano-san will give me the Giri chocolate they receive."

"The amount of chocolate those two receive can't be compraed to normal people! They're obviously teachers at an all-boys school, yet as soon as those two pass by the stores and places they frequent, they will receive an amount of chocolates piled up as high as a mountain, and they're able to fill up a paper bag just by strolling around."

"But, that's also Giri chocolate."

"Hmm…. but, whether or not I'll receive any this year is still unknown…."

"Then you mean, if you do receive some, you'll give it to me?"

"I didn't say that! Anyway, even if I receive some, I won't give it to you, Souji!"

"…Heeh. Forget it. It would be great if I could receive chocolates this year from that childhood sweetheart. Because that's the only chocolate that Heisuke can receive every year."

"Enough, let's stop talking about this. By the way, we should be heading back to the classroom. The self-study period is already over. If someone notices that we opened to door to the roof without permission, then we'll definitely get into trouble."

"Yes yes. let's bring this subject to a close."

"Unfortunately, the bell for class is ringing! Alright, let's quickly go back!"

Heisuke, who was being urged by Souji to get up and start running towards the classroom, thought to himself.

（She, will she give me chocolates this year…. although it'll still be Giri.）

---to be continued---

i don't believe this was reprinted in any of the SSL books unfortunately...

also i forgot to mention: i know that Heisuke and Chizuru are childhood friends in the SSL game but the word I had used "sweetheart" so I went with that.

[the-hummelverse]

In terms of the hummelverse.com website, it's online again by the way! Been online for a couple months again already actually after the catastrophic failure and year-long downtime caused by moving it over from my previous hoster. But I didn't have any time to do much needed post-move maintenance so far, which I am slowly catching up with now.

Notes:

The website is now SSL-enabled (using https instead of http), but this doesn't really change anything except that some browsers/extensions should now be less likely to act like it's a malicious page trying to steal your credit card data... (This was genuinely the main reason why I had to change hosters, since the previous one would have charged me 10€ per month extra for it when most others out there have it as a free default for your contract???)

I thought the newsletter signup form was broken, but it only doesn't show up when I use Firefox on my desktop PC so maybe my adblocker is overly zealous. I haven't been writing any newsletters lately partly because of that, but now that I know the signup form isn't actually broken, I'll try to get back into the habit. That means if you cannot see it either on the homepage, please try a different browser or check if one of your browser extensions might be blocking it!

The art gallery works again, but uploading the images is very tedious and time-consuming. I forgot to move over the folder that contained all the images on the server, so I had to wipe the database and have to re-upload them all. It shouldn't interfere with the functionality of the website otherwise, though.

The tumblr post feed on the website is broken and I don't really know how to fix it since the API seems to have changed and I am not fully able to wrap my head around the new code. There's a chance that I'll figure it out eventually but it's very low priority for me right now, especially since I set up a webhook for the HV discord server that does the same job but in a more convenient manner.

The pages for the LEGENDS card game are there on the server, but I have to rework and update them with more current content/info. I'll do that as soon as I'm able and will add a link to the homepage once that's done. But it leads me to the next and last point:

As I've mentioned before I want to look into alternative solutions for selling/distributing both my books and my trading card game and the merchandise (bet most people didn't even know there IS merchandise....look, I'm very bad at this whole marketing think, ok?). There's also other Hummelverse things floating around like the free short horror video game I made ages ago and the pen&paper ruleset, for example. I am thinking of adding a sort of "hub" to the homepage that either provides a proper and complete list of links to all these miscellaneous things, or maybe even find a way to consolidate them onto my own website as completely as possible. This is still in the early musings phase, so don't expect to see much of this until a couple months down the line...
