fascinating how far colonial liberal hypocrisy reaches and how easily the solidarity crumbles when the opressed fight back against military opression with their own military offensive. fascinating how the opressed are only worthy of support so long as they are dying on the western iphone screens, so long as their pain is broadcast, so long as their chests are torn open for everyone to see. fascinating how quick so called liberals are to condemn any violence that rises agains the occupation. its almost as if the colonised are only worthy of support when they are suffering under brutal military occupation, and unworthy of it when they fight bomb fire with their own flames. fascinating how the white supremacist systems will always expose their hypocrisy in upholding their own hegemony.

When does it get better 💀🙏

Warrior Cats Au: Frostpaw/star

===

Frostpaw is the New Leader au

|Au began its existence after the Book River and before the other books in the series 

I may take into account things from the other books but this is entirely Riverclan focused|

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

Frostpaw after the events of River she becomes the de facto leader

She does get help being the leader from Mothwing & Duskfur 

(Duskfur who btw I do think is a part of whatever the hell is going on in Riverclan. She isn't apart of her daughter dying though)

This poor apprentice is leader just because she has a connection to Starclan

Mothwing helps because she is Frostpaw mentor and Duskfur helps because she is Frostpaw's grandma (also Duskfur kinda wants to be the leader)

Splashtail and Frostpaw are best friends now. They seemed to be close in canon.

She just needs more friends besides her siblings. Her siblings are amazing though.

Mothwing is going to die pretty quickly. Like in 2 months. Poor 9 moons old Frostpaw.

Oops I think I went a little off topic

Anyways this AU is going to focus on Snowpaw's leadership

I am going to refer to her as Froststar at some point.

 So will everyone else when they aren't around the other clans.

Riverclan doesn't want to admit they are being led by an apprentice.

Riverclan just doesn't want to admit they are in shambles.

++++

So basically River happened and now they are dealing with a depressed and traumatized Frostpaw

Mothwing gets her to at least follow her around and learn how to be a Medicine Cat. Gathering herbs and crap

Riverclan is just doing patrols normally because there is no leader to change anything.

Duskfur is sort of the temporary leader at first. All she really does is make sure no one is breaking rules and that everyone is getting fed

She is grieving her daughter's death.

So some time passes (2 weeks) and they force Mothwing & Frostpaw to go to the moonpool to find out the new leader

Surprise Surprise they don't find out who the new leader should be.

Riverclan knows that Frostpaw can see visions so they just put her as the Leader with Mothwing as her deputy [technically]

They just really don't want Mothwing to be leader no matter how temporarily.

Mothwing however was doing a bit more work as leader as she is older and has more experience 

Mothwing was teaching Frostpaw literally everything. Medicine Cat stuff, warrior cat stuff, & how to be a leader

Riverclan is both infighting and being helpful. They are a mess.

Splashtail just decided he is going to be Frostpaw's bodyguard. Friends ♡

Riverclan gathers and Frostpaw tells them that Starclan gave no new sign for a leader.

So Riverclan just gets agitated until Duskfur says that maybe they should make Frostpaw leader.

Everyone starts to argue until everyone agrees. Wholeheartedly or begrudgingly.

Everyone doesn't argue about Frostpaw's mentor Mothwing being Deputy/Second Leader.

So everyone calls Frostpaw, Froststar now unless they are around other clans.

Frostpaw is now so stressed, depressed, and traumatized 

Not a fun time for her.

When it comes to gatherings they send both Mothwing & Froststar with Mothwing as the spokesperson 

Everyone does ask where Mistystar & Reedwhisker are but they are but Riverclan just tells everyone they are sick

This goes on until Mothwing dies (so only 2 moons) to which Riverclan just covers up her death too.

Mothwing due to suspicious circumstances. She was really badly injured. Like broken bones everywhere.

(Someone killed her or got her killed. They are very idiotic with that as they have a half trained Medicine Cat now)

Anyways that means the Deputy (Co-Leader) who was helping died and left the 9 moon old to be the sole leader of the clan.

Don't worry they admit Mothwing died 3 moons later where they said she died that moon and not a few moons earlier 

They need help and they refuse. 

They don't pick a new "deputy" in fear of them dying too.

Outside of Riverclan everyone is suspicious of them as their leader and deputy haven't been seen in moons and suddenly Mothwing stops coming too.

Also Froststar just looks so tired to everyone who sees her.

Froststar is working both as a leader and a Medicine Cat. She also got some warrior training to be safe.

Her siblings try to help her calm down and play, which only works a little bit.

So Riverclan is being held together by duct tape.

Frostpaw very tiredly goes to the moonpool to meet up with the other medicine cats to discuss who will teach her.

(Also to be clear she didn't get help earlier because her Clan just told her to lie until they announce Mothwing's death. So for almost 3 moons Frostpaw had to pretend nothing is wrong)

Froststar isn't the worst Medicine Cat btw despite her very shotty education.

So the cat who decided to help her for the next few moons is Puddleshine

[Frostpaw would be around 12 moons old. She would technically be a full Medicine Cat

Froststar tells them she hasn't been made a full warrior yet which is why Puddleshine volunteered to help.

Like how much help would a technical adult need? Quite a bit]

Froststar agrees but tells him that he will be sworn to secrecy as that is what Riverclan wants

Puddleshine agrees even though he finds it suspicious and weird.

The rest of the meeting goes fine, everyone is getting along.

Puddleshine goes to Riverclan (which has been ran by Froststar for 4 ½ moons) to find out just how tired and overworked this apprentice is

Also how bad of a state Riverclan is in

Puddleshine knows he agreed to not tell anyone anything but he also told Shadowsight what he saw.

Shadowsight is obviously annoyed at Riverclan.

Back to Froststar 

This now young adult has been looking for signs for the new leader but hasn't seen crap.

All she saw was a vision that Mothwing was going to die. Very vaguely too.

She is tired.

So she has Podlight test her on her warrior cat test. Just to be safe.

(Yes Medicine Cats know basic fighting skills but I mean more than just basic. If she is their leader she needs to know how to fight well enough)

When they find the permanent leader she will just be a Medicine Cat. (She is going to be the permanent leader)

Puddleshine will have to make sure she isn't a bad Medicine Cat. [this takes 2 moons. She is now 14 moons old]

After just over half of a year Riverclan begs her to try extra hard to find their new leader.

Froststar tries and all she gets is nothing.

Until a sign that everyone can see clearly hints that Snowpaw should stay Frostpaw 

Everyone argues and Froststar just goes to the Leader's den to process everything 

So she officially becomes Froststar.

She and Splashtail go and ask Puddleshine to follow them to the moonpool

He asks why and they explain that Froststar is to become official so she needs to get her 9 lives

He sighs but agrees. 

So they head there and get her 9 lives.

Idk which cats but I definitely think her mom & goosefeather are there.

Anyways they leave. nothing traumatizing happens to them

Froststar chooses her deputy. That being Icewing.

Is she way older than her and she should be the leader more than Frostpaw. Yeah but that isn't how life handed it to them.

Everyone is both annoyed and celebrating. Life is wild right now.

Froststar's siblings are warriors. Obviously as they are both 14 moons old too.

Mistpaw became Mistlight

Graypaw became Graywing 

They are still being good siblings and comforting Froststar 

(Those who killed Reedwhisker and maybe the others have broken up as a group because they started opposing each other.)

A bit of a quick break before I move on.

Some other crap that has happened in Riverclan in the 8-ish moons I have (vaguely) covered here 

Mousewhisker joined Riverclan and while a lot are hating the code changes I think they noticed how closely related some of them are. So they let him join.

Also Froststar wasn't budging on not allowing him to join.

She may slightly bow to her clan's will but here she is not. 

Also Mothwing agreed with Froststar to allow him to join.

He joined when Frostpaw was 9 moons old. (Which Mothwing died soon after 👀)

Some kits have been born (not many, just 2 born to Minnowtail and Mousewhisker) and some kits (3 kits) were found abandoned.

[F & M | F, M, & M] [Names idk]

That all happened around Froststar being 11 moons old

Nobody else died

Gatherings have continued with Riverclan lying and saying Mistystar and Reedwhisker are just sick or injured 

Still hasn't made anyone less suspicious of Riverclan 

Well except Puddleshine and anyone he told, which is just Shadowsight and the other medicine cats.

Everyone else is in for a nasty surprise when Froststar & Icewing appear for the gathering as Leader & Deputy (again 14 moon old Frostpaw. Whole 7 moons after River)

~~ Paused: 10/6/2022 ~~

~~ Continued: 10/7/2022 ~~

At this point Riverclan is about 50/50 on the code changes

Also whoever (how many they may be) have stopped killing people. They have crippled themselves hard so the realized murder isn't a option.

Also before I forget. Froststar is doing the trust no cat thing only she isn't giving them her full distrust

She literally cannot live with all this stress and paranoia so she gives out a bit of trust.

Lots of trust to her siblings. They are her rock. Also Splashtail is trusted a bit more than the average cat in Riverclan 

"What about Duskfur". Froststar kinda trusts her as she was helping in the early days of the leadership but Froststar was getting suspicious vibes from her now

Moving on Medicine cat gatherings have been going smoothly. Froststar knows a lot more now and is a good Medicine Cat. 

Also she knows Puddleshine told Shadowsight but doesn't know the rest know as none of them talked about it.

Now the gathering. 

Every other clan has been dealing with their issues. Clan wide & personal.

Then Icewing & Froststar arrive to the island and move to the tree

Froststar climbs up the tree which everyone is like "What are you doing?!"

Which Icewing just tells them that Riverclan has a lot to announce 

So they have Riverclan announce first

Tired Froststar just tells everyone Mistystar & Reedwhisker died, Curlfeather is also dead, Icewing is the new deputy and that she is the new leader.

Which everyone is like, aren't you the sole Medicine Cat? What about Medicine Cat duties? Aren't you young? You've never had an apprentice.

Froststar just tells them that she is doing both jobs and that Starclan gave a sign to all of Riverclan that she is to be the leader

Everyone just kinda moves on. They would love to ask more questions but the other clans have things to announce.

So everyone announces what they want to & need to.

After that everyone just chills to meet up with friends and such

Froststar meets up with Whistlepaw (now Whistlespring) as they are friends

They just talk about life and how distant the 2 of them are

Froststar just agrees. Life hasn't made it easy for their friendship to do anything.

Icewing btw is just talking with the other leaders & deputies

Making sure that everything is going smooth between Riverclan and the other clans

~~ Paused: 10/7/2022 ~~

В парке, где пурпурными устами Осень шепчет ласково - Кис-кис, Рыжий кот с янтарными глазами Караулит падающий лист. То зароется в листву и что-то ищет, То подпрыгнув ловит налету. Видно птицы, бабочки и мыши Там и сям мерещатся коту. /Авов Аволог

In the park, where with purple lips Autumn whispers tenderly - Kitty-kitty, Red cat with amber eyes Watching for a falling leaf. Then he buries himself in the foliage and looks for something, Then, jumping up, he catches it on the fly. Birds, butterflies and mice are visible The cat sees things here and there. /Avov Avolog

23→24総括

　皆様お疲れ様です。大晦日ですね。今年も一年の総括記事の時期ですね。今年こそは年明け前に投稿すべく12/11から少しずつ書いています。気合い入りすぎなのでは？

　

＜動画について＞

　今年の投稿数は2本でした。

　ご覧になられましたか？ 見たことある方は何度見てもよいのですよ。もういいって？ まあまあ、そうおっしゃらずに。とにもかくにも、ありがとうございます。

　昨年はダンエタ小バズがありましたが、今年はどの動画もそういったことはありませんでした。ただ全体的に細々と再生回数や高評価をいただけて、非常に嬉しいです。

　

　今年はINTERVALSが2本でした。再三にわたりお伝えしていますが、もうINTERVALSやりませんから！ と決意新たにしていた所、先日Fractal Audioのクリスマスプレゼント企画のGift of ToneでAaronのプリセットが配られたので、ソレを使って……とはなりません。去年配っていたら今年の動画に間に合ってたのにという悔しさがあります。このプリセットですが、音はCircadian以降のハイゲイン系で、特に近年ハマっているらしいリードにモジュレーションをガッツリ掛けているタイプの音だったり、クリスタルクリーンが入っています。残念ながら(？) The Way Forward時代のクランチはありません。かなり使える音でして、個人的に最近お気に入りのハイゲインアンプのRevvでリズムトーンが作られていたり、自分がTouch＆Goの音作りの時に使っていたPrecision Driveや、同じアンプモデルであるFriedmanのHBE V3が使われていたのでなんだか嬉しくなりました。ちょっと余計なこと長めに書いてしまった。

　

　次回動画については前回の記事で書いていたものは……多分やりません。私生活のことについてバタバタしていたのと、練習はしていたのですがそもそも技術面で不得手なことがあり、自分の中で許せるレベルに到達しそうにないためです。代案として短い動画でも出そうかと思っています。と書いていたところで「そういえばショート動画とか流行ってるよな」と思ったのでちょっとやる気になりました。年明けにでも出したいです。

　

　年間目標は2本としていますが、今年に関しては正直どうなるか分かりません。春まではほどほどに時間があると思うのですが、恐らく5月以降と、夏～秋は絶対無理ですね。転職やら恐らく引越やらで多忙……になってないと人生終わってしまいそうなので。ギターは弾いているはずです。カメラもそろそろ新しいの欲しいなと思いつつお金がありません。私の好きなものはお金です。以上。

　

　

＜楽器について＞

・Performaxe

　最高です。

　

・Mayones Duvell（売った）

　就職祝いで買い、退職と共に売却の運命でした。一番の理由は新しい竿のための生贄ですが、コロナ前までの大学時代のサークルOB/OGによるライブが無くなったので当初の使用目的が失われたことや、想定よりダウンチューニングで弾きたいものがなかったことなどが挙げられます。結構長めにオークションに出してましたが無事売れました。地域的に遠からず（遠いには遠いけど）の方が買ってくださり、しかもその購入者さんは僕の動画を見てくださったようで温かいメッセージまで送ってくださったので嬉し恥ずかしでした。これ見てますかね。多分見てないかな。大切に弾いてもらえたら嬉しいです。ご存じの通り、いいギターですので。

　

・UAD 1176 Classic Limiter Collection

　MIX師になりました。よろしくお願いいたします。軽度なものでよいならやりますのでいつでもお声掛けください。音がランクアップします。

　

・Master 8 Japanのピック

　先日色々買い集めました。コンテンツ的に書いたのですがどハマりはしていません。最近のブームはジムダンのJP Trinityです。シェイプがミニトライアングルなので近いモノを集めてるのですが、某ネットショップ（音家さんではないです）オリジナルの激安ミニ△は素材と厚さ別で10枚程度買ったのですが全てダメでした。やはりジムダン……ジムダンは全てを解決する。

　

・SugiのPU交換（純正に戻した）BKP売却

　これは別記事を執筆中ですのでここでは書きません。

　今年も大きい金額の購入はありませんでした。来年はどうなるでしょうか。と書いていたら円相場の回復の兆しが見えてきましたね。130円を切ったら何かあります。以上。

　

　

＜聴いていた音楽について＞

①Allegaeon - DAMNUM

　「聴いていた」と書いていますが実際は先月末からなので聴き始めて1ヶ月程度です。メロデス寄りのテクデスおよびエクストリームメタルですかね。2023年は自分の中でメロデスブームの年でしたが、重くてクサくて速くてテクいの聴きたくて探していた中のAllegaeonでした。アメリカって感じのメタルで実によきです。類似バンドで挙げられるFirst Fragmentsはダメでした。あれはスパニッシュでネオクラでカオティックでしたので。

　

②Stortregn - Finitude / Impermanence / Emptiness Fills the Void

　かつてはブラックメタル系のスイスのバンドで、メロブラやメロデス要素が段々と強くなっていき、さらに前作『Impermanence』でプログレッシブ成分が足された結果、最新作『Finitude��はモダンなプログレッシブエクストリームメタルにシフトチェンジした印象です。個人的には「プログレッシブデス」というとデス要素がオールドスクールな感じがしているのですが、それに比べるとメロデス成分があり、派手なサウンドも含めてモダンなバンドだと感じました。正直このバンドは2023年の大当たりです。

　ギタリストのJohan Smithはクラシックギター界で有名な方で、音大の修士号取得、各コンテストでの優勝多数、オーケストラ共演など世界的に高い評価を受けているのですが、こんなメタルバンドもやっているようです。これでまた一つ、メタルが世界一素晴らしい音楽であることの証明がなされてしまいましたね。そんな前置きで期待値が高まっていたのですが「テクさ」に求めている「音数が多い人外ギターソロ」はありませんでした。ただ過去作では少なかったギターソロパートは最新作になるにつれて増えていきます。強いて挙げる残念ポイントはここだけ。

　単純なメロデスのクサさや叙情的なメロディではなく、クラシックを通っているだけあって音楽理論的に優れた頭の良い和声の動き/音使いがあります。この点が他のバンドとの差別化に繋がっているようです。楽曲のダイナミクスや随所で挟まれるクラシックギターによるメロディパート、高速ブラストビートによる攻撃・暴虐性の高さ、楽器陣のサウンドプロダクション、主張する部分/アンサンブルに混ざる部分を弁え楽曲ファーストの考えが感じられる等、非常にクオリティが高いです。オススメ。

　

③Kalmah - The Black Waltz

　ブラストビートがあるメロデスを探していて見つけました。本バンドの作品で最も評価が高いアルバムだそうです。そもそもボドムフォロワーバンドですので、似ている曲が多いです。個人的にはボドムが嫌いなのですが、少なくともこのバンドのこのアルバムは結構好きです。ただピークは前半4曲までですかね。この辺りを聴いて「もっとテクいの探した方がよいのかも」と気付きました。

　

④Night Crowned - Tales

　こちらもブラストビートのあるメロデス。メロデス？メロブラ？ ドラマーが巧いなと思いますが、メロディラインは北欧感強めです。曲によっては好みからは外れていました。そのため強く刺さる楽曲は少なかったです。記録用に残していましたが書いたのでライブラリから消します。

　

⑤Insomnium - Anno 1696 / Avove the Weeping World

　2～3月に知ったと思います。春はあけぼの。夏は夜。秋は夕暮れ。冬はめろです。雪原や吹雪を眺めながら聴くとキマります。激エモツインメロディのトレモロリフと高速バスドラムを聴けば昇天する気持ちよさ。新作の残念ポイントは全体の楽曲BPMがスローなことです。曲が高速でギターソロがもっとあれば、クサさは言うことなしなのでパーフェクトですね。後者のアルバムは古い作品です。音に時代を感じますが楽曲は結構好きです。ネットのレビューでは評価が高くないので悲しいです。

　

⑥Eidola - The Architect

　ポストハードコア。Makariが好きなので類似バンドとして以前から知っていましたが、知った当時の2018年はMVが少なく、刺さる楽曲も少なかったため聴き続けることはありませんでした。今年になってApple Musicで2021年の最新作が流れてきたのですが、非常に良かったです。本人たちも言っていますがプログレッシブな要素が多いバンドです。上半期の、特に初夏は沢山聴きました。スーパー歌ウマで気持ちがよいです。VoはDGDのギタリストでもあるようです。この辺のバンドを個人的にDGD界隈と呼んでいます。Blue Swan Recordsですね。DGD、年に何回か聴いてみるのですが全く好きになれませんので今年で諦めました。

　

⑦Wolf & Bear - Everything is Going Grey / Bloodletter

　ポストハードコアです。実は結構好きなジャンルだと判明しました。ちなみに00～10年代の古き良き系ではなく近年の比較的ポップな感じです。ポップですよね？ そしてこちらもDGD界隈です。亡くなったBaがDGDでした。

　リピートしていたのはMVの楽曲です。すごく好き。他はほどほどで、なんなら最新作は楽しみにしていたものの刺さる楽曲がありませんでした。全体的にクリーンVoの主張が強くなり、流行りのR&B的なシャラくさいメロディ / ノリ / パートが増えてしまった印象です。新しく入ったギタリストはセンスのあるピロピロオブリを弾くのと、Kieselの黒いスーパーストラトがカッコイイです。ジャケットは日本と韓国と中国がミックスされた「アジアは大体一緒だろ？hahaha!!」なアメリカを感じます。

　

⑧MØL - Jord / Diorama

　デンマークのバンドです。Deafheaven直系というネットレビューを見て知りました。確かにその感じがあります。アルバムは2枚のみ。全体的にOCHLと同じ陽のエッセンスが強いです。ほとんどがメジャー系のポップな明るい曲調です。陽のブラックゲイズ。

　ただDeafheavenが200％の爆発力があるとしたら、こちらは良くも悪くも100％で収まってしまいます。曲は短く聴き疲れしにくいという利点はあります。サウンドのタイトさがあるので、よりメタルを感じることもできます。一番好きな曲は『Diorama』にありますが、作品通しての出来は『Jord』に軍配が上がります。2人（ライブでは+1）いるギターの一方が近年Suhrを使ってますがあまり合うジャンルじゃない気がするのは私だけでしょうか。

　

⑨Deafheaven - Roads to Judah

　そんなブラックゲイズ（以下BG）本家。でもDeafheavenをBGと言ってるとBGガチ勢から怒られると聞きました。界隈こわすぎ。

　大好きなバンドですが実はこのアルバムだけ聴いていませんでした。1stなのでクオリティを期待せず、なんなら若干ナメていたのですが、1曲目からクライマックスでした。彼らは最初から完成されていたんですね。

　

⑩New Jeans - OMG　

　オッマオッマガ～！ネットニュースになったNew Jeansおじさんになりたくないのですが曲がいいので聴いています。アイドルコンテンツは好きではありません。でもハニ氏はかわいいと思います。CookieやHype Boyも好きです。インストだけで聴くのもアリです。

　

⑪Helloween - The Dark Ride

　これは青春時代の思い出アルバムの1つです。高校生の時にメタラー隣人夫婦の方に借りた、人生初Helloweenがこのアルバムです。ですので「代表曲はEFF」とか言われても実は釈然としていません。タイトル曲がすごく好きです。当時のメンバーとの仲間割れおよび版権問題からストリーミングおよびデジタル販売されないアルバムらしいので、数年振りにCDを買いました。他と比較するとテイストが異なっているため賛否両論……かと思っていましたがレビューでも好きという声が多くて嬉しいです。

　

⑫柴田淳 - ブライニクル / 私は幸せ / あなたと見た夢 君のいない朝

　しばじゅんはお風呂BGMの定番です。今年の総再生時間は8,194分でApple Music内でのトップ100リスナーだったらしいです。やったね。ちなみに上田麗奈さんのトップ100リスナーでもあります。やったね。これまで聴いてなかったアルバムの開拓ということで3枚を聴きました。基本的には静かな楽曲が好きです。ご結婚おめでとうございます。失恋です。

　

⑬明日の叙景 - アイランド

　日本のポストブラックメタル。そしてJ-Pop。この切なくて明るい感じはまさに日本ですね。とてもよかったです。ドラムのブラストが若干遅いのと、アルバムライブのセトリが曲順じゃないのと、ライブの最後に演奏する一番人気の楽曲が裏打ちでしゃらくさいこと以外は。モヤモヤに熱が入り長文で書いていたのですが、何かの間違いで目に入ってしまうことがあったら忍びないので大幅にカットしました。1,4,8,9,10,11が好きです。ジャケット可愛い。

　

⑭三森すずこ - R / B / P

　三森すずこ御大。王道正統派アニソンで好きです。その手の音楽を聴きたい時に外さない点数を出してくれます。リンクの曲が好きですが『R』が一番聴きやすいです。

　

⑮遠野朝海 - Comfort

　「これ好き！」となりました。静かなピアノとウィスパーなVoでリラクゼーション。Chouchouに近いエッセンスを感じます。メジャーではなく同人音楽（と呼んでよいのか？）で活動されています。応援してます。

　

⑯arabesque Choche - eclogue

　ピアノインスト。リリース前日にYouTubeで生演奏の配信があったのですが、時間も時間だったので電気を消した真っ暗なお風呂入りながら観ました。とんでもなく癒されたのでその日以来、お風呂に携帯を持ち込んで何かを観るというのがブームになっています。置き場のための板と防水スピーカーと防水ケースの導入を進めています。これはレビューではありませんね。楽曲？ 全部好きだから特にコメントしません。

　

　以上です。あとは今までに好きな曲やバンドやアルバムを何度も何度も聴き返していました。「好きなのにまだ聴いてない」のは、まさにコレが原因で、自分は繰り返し聴いて満足するまで次に進めないタイプのようです。以上。

　

　

＜その他趣味や生活について＞

①退職

　約4年務めた会社を辞めます。もっと稼いでやりたいことやって欲しいもの手に入れたいとか、この仕事やってる年とった自分想像したらゾッとしたとか、世の中には信じられないほど頭の悪い人間がいてそんな底辺を相手にしないといけない現実にストレス溜まるとかが理由です。去年も似たようなこと書いてました。退職に際して手間とか先の心配による心労もありますが、体力があって現実に追いつける今のうちに行動しないと人生詰んでしまうので、それに比べたら比較にならないほどマシです。他人の責任は取れないですけど『タタール人の砂漠』という小説、オススメですよ。人生訓になります。

　健康面ですが体の不調も増えてきました。老いは怖いし、健康な体って素晴らしいですよね。ボロボロな状態で生き続けるよりも、どこかでサクッと人生が終わったら楽でいいのに、と希死念慮と長いこと付き合っていますが、精神がまともな人間は希死念慮、無いんですね。あと過去の恥ずかしいことを思い出して変な声出ることも無いらしいです。マジ？

　

②読書

　今年も本、それなりに買いました。寝る前の読書が最高です。家が非常に狭いので用意できないのですが引越したら本棚欲しいです。今は押し入れでカビないように除湿剤とセットで読み終わった本を積んでいるのですが、スペース的にギリギリになってきました。

　

③映画

　上半期は観ていたのですが、下半期は全然観なくなりました。Touch＆Goの練習やら録音やらMIXやら動画撮影および編集で4ヶ月ほど休日の時間を音楽に割いていたので、すっかり習慣が抜けました。11月の暇な日に数本観ましたが、以前まで使っていた鑑賞記録とレビュー書くアプリは使ってないです。若干SNS的な繋がりがあるのですが、思い切って消そうかな。人間関係リセット癖に近いものがある。

　

④ギター弾いた

　今年はすごくギター弾いてました。大学卒業以降で一番長かったと思います。そして楽しかったです。使命感ではなく、ただただ楽しいから弾くばかりでした。一番良いやつですね。ずっとこんな感じでいきたいです。なんだかんだ15年弾き続けてきましたが、社会人になって辞めてしまう・弾かなくなってしまう人も沢山いる中で、変わらずずっと続けているので「自分音楽大好きじゃん！」と再認識しました。

　

　以上、年末年始の恒例記事でした。皆様どうぞよいお年をお迎えください。2024年も生きましょうね。

Ace's Races, Arknights

Right, full on Analyze Mod I guess

Anyways, on the concern of Ace Arknight's race being either Pythia, Zalak, or Savra. tl;dr, it's most likely Pythia or Savra, or a Race we have no knowledge of yet, more below.

Don't quote me on any of this and be more than welcome to correct me in any matter.

Anyways, of the three Races that Ace could possibly of, we first need to find out how to indicate what race belongs to what race. Let's start with-

Zalaks, they're the Rodents and Rodent-Like, important on the latter. They're the Rats, squirrels, and apparently the Australasian Opposums.

Next is the Savra, Lizards and Salamanders. Which in itself is completely different from the-

Pythia, as these ones are the Serpents, Snakes, basically. Why are there no Gator's or Crocs in either of the Reptile Races? That's cuz those are the Archosauria.

Now, what are these three's physical indicators of which they belong to? Well, for the all of the one's mentioned above. The ears, tails, and their Operator Files. But Ace doesn't have a File that says what his race is so we can only go with the former two.

Zalaks have rodent-like tails, duh, take a look basically. A detail that every race with ears on the top of their head has is that they wear Helmets that fit them or have holes for them, like Ashlock and Click here. You can also notice the variety in that one has a ridiculously Fluffy tail, and one a sleek and thin one. There's also the Rat King who's a fully formed Anthro, but he's not relevant here other than being a full on indicator that he's a fucking Rodent.

Now, if we compare that to these-

-he does not have any furry ears on the top of his head, this eliminates him from being a Zalak, as if he was one, then he'd have something that wouldn't. And no, I've checked every Zalak that's been illustrated, and they ALWAYS have fully visible furry ears or Indicate that they have them through their helmets or headgear.

"But what if there's Zalaks that DON'T have furry ears?" That's a possibility yes, especially when you look at the Anaty and notice how Roberta and Mayer don't have ears compared to that of Robin and Shirayuki. If it wasn't for a teensy little weensy detail about Ace's tail.

The Tip. No Zalak's have tail tips like these, as a Zalak tail's tip that are slim usually resemble that of diminishing lines, more so a whip than a tip really. At least of my knowledge and quick 5 minutes google search (Lmao) If you do know, please do tell.

Though there is the Rat King's, but if you look it's still not the same, as Rat King's resemble that a, well, Rat. While Ace's look that more of a Lizard's. There's also the Age Factor, as Zalak that has Ace's look of an old veteran would be equivalent to that look.

Speaking of Lizards, let's get into the them.

Now, for Savras it gets a little trickier, as of the only fully illustrated characters that don't help much to identifying someone's race through their ears and tails is the two anthros, a Half Savra-Sarkaz, and a Hooded NPC, that obscures both the ears and the possible tail, who we can only assume Savra for the same reason I assume Sharp is a Savra. By being from Sargon, except Isin lives and breathes Sargon while all we know of Sharp is that he was from the Court of Sargon before he came to RI.

Getting back on track, Savra's distinct traits are that of Sharp Ears and Reptile Tiles.

But, if we look at the patterns of the one's with the visible ears and tails, we can see the Savras usually have thicker tail and pointy ears, which overlap with Pythia's also having sharp and pointy ears. But it's important to note that Pythia ears are several times Sharper, and their Tails far thinner.

But there's also Pythia's such as Corroserum and Eunectes who's tails are quite thick themselves. However, their thick tails are scaled compared to the Savra's just up avove.

Though the ears is a good point to look into, as Blacknight, a Savra, for example can pass off as a Pythia if you look only at the ears alone, but then look at her tail and think maybe Archosauria. If it wasn't for her Animal being indicated by her E2 as well as the Profile saying so, we could've safely assumed she was a Half and Half of Pythia and Archosauria. Probably something along the lines of a Black Caiman.

So, what do we get from this?

Well,

Ace can't be any of the non reptilian races. Or any race with ears on the top. No his portrait is not showing them because he has them folded back, look at new visual from the anime and you can see he has nothing up there than hair.

Not Archosaurian, as there is no way his tail is in any way Crocodilian.

We can't use his ears as confirmation because they're covered, and even then the ear shapes can still overlap.

His tail is thin and definitely belongs to a Reptile, but no obvious scales, nor that obvious a salamander or Lizardy. BUT, We also have to keep in mind that Scaleless Snakes EXIST so we can't immediately rule it out.

So in conclusion, I don't fucking know

What i do know is that this bitch a reptile. He could be some Scaleless Snake species idk about, or a Glass Lizard which means he's either a Pythia or Savra

My bet would be Savra more than Pythia

Addendums:

Checked the Prelude to Dawn PVs, nothing on Ace's Race Features.

There's a non zero chance that the Race Ace belongs to is a mythological inspired one like Hellagur, Utage, and Archetto are.

I feel I want to write the story of my first gay sexual experience. In fact my first sexual experience that didn’t just involve me and my right hand (or my left if the right got tired).

I was 18 years old (a late developer) and was walking through the town park. I was feeling rather horny and I headed down to the gents toilet in order to masturbate.

I went in and the place was empty, the urinal to my left and 2 cubicles to my right. I went into the first cubicle and locked the door. I pulled down me jeans and sat on the toilet and started playing with my cock.

I heard someone else come into the toilet and thought I’d better be quiet doing this. The other person went into the other cubicle.

Suddenly his head popped up avove the dividing wall, I stopped in mid stroke. “Do you want me to come in and help you with that” he said.

I stood up and unlocked the door, he came in and sat where I had been on the toilet.

He took hold of me cock and started to suck on it, but unfortunately my cock wasn’t that clean.He told me to turn around and masturbate myself.

As I did that I felt his tongue licking around the rim of my arse. It felt good, although I did think to myself “he’s brave licking my arse”

After a few minutes of masturbation and feeling his tongue around my arse I felt the urge to cum.

I turned back to him and he took my cock deep into his mouth as I started  pump my seed into it, he greedilly swallowed it all down.

After this he asked me if I had ever had anal sex, “No” I replied ”I’ve never done that”

He said he would take my anal virginity as he didn’t want to hurt me.

I watched him mastubating himself and was thinking “mayby I should suck his cock too”

When suddenly he spurted his semen up into the air and it landed back on his trousers. “Oh dear” he said “My mother will wonder about those stains”

We both then made ourselves presentable and went back out into the park

Yo, another original post. Wanted to share some art that I'm proud of.

To preface showing you: this is referenced from a tattoo stencil that I saw on pinterest. This is in no way my completely original design.

Don't mind the scribbles avove my signature, I messed up the "a" in arson

The colours in the pic are a bit funky because it was taken on my phone.

Here's a version with bit of an overstated but still close to irl viewing contrast and colours.

Likes, comments, and reblogs appreciated.

Endless ocean populated by thousands of modern sailboats. Towers constructed of silvery/white material very delicate looking but strong. I got around on "speedboat" I'm not actually sure how it worked or how it looked. Im not sure it was perceptable but it was fast. I was looking for a place I think. I visited a oil platform-esque area that consisted entirely of exhaust pipes/ vents of high complexity I dont think they were just burning coal. Multifaceted shapes puffing out green smoke that turned to brown amd then a dark ashy grey. I was on a platform high avove the sea where workers were monitoring/managing? The exhausts. a very strong/buff/butch lady either tossed me down into the water next to my transport or convinced me to jump cause the area was unsafe. Then I ended up at a shallower part of the world. There was a very small island of white sand and it was populated by a small strip mall excluding tgr parking lot. I don't remember seeing any people there. I visited one of them it was like a aquarium gift shop without the aquarium and I then was transported to a concrete hallway with dark blue lighting as though I was in an aquarium, but there was no water and no fish. No tanks either. I don't think i moved from that point.

My idea for a fnf mod straight up SHORTS YOUR COMPUTER if you either fail or get AVOVE a D rating.

It also makes all those joke mods look easy in comparison

So storytime, I went to Hungry Jacks the other day and asked for mustard with my meal, there was a long pause so I was like, oh only if you still have some and they were immediately like yeah yeah we have it no problem, then I saw 'no sauce' pop up on the screen, was kinda like oh, theyre jst not gonna give me anything, thats fine, coulda told me they were jst out but whatever, then on another row I saw 'add mustard' pop up underneath something else, not reading the extra bit I was like oh nvm, i guess the computers fucking up, what I didnt realise at the time is what appeared avove was more than likely 'cup' so I got home to my cats judgemental stare and a cup of mustard, pictured for posterity. Not complaining, jst amazed at the engenuity of customer service workers at any given point

I realized it's apparently odd that I research medication interaction with various foods or supplements before consuming them. I wanna know if it'll fuck up how my body/chemicals work but all y'all out here raw dogging unknown symptoms like...

--------

You shouldn't be eating or drinking grapefruit if you're on an oral contraceptive it'll make it not work. Truthfully any chemical contraceptive you should be careful about but an oral one get shut DOWN fast.

Or how pineapple/pineapple juice can cause buspar or other anxiety medications to not properly absorb into your blood making its job moot.

Amphetamines, your ADHD/ADD meds if those are the ones that work for you, should not be used along with tricyclic antidepressants or decongestants.

Adding on to avove, depending on the Brain Skittles you take you also can't take Mucinex (guaifenesin) cause it could cause Serotonin Syndrome. Or how I learned the hard way, it'll just make you faint and feel the worst you've ever felt. Better off being boogery!

-------

Anyway all of that to say that apparently wanting to know how stuff works makes me "paranoid " and I just wanted to yell about it.

... sometimes I miss my pharmacy job.

Hello, Welcome to my blog! Here's a rundown of my featured tags and the main content on this blog! This is a silly focused blog, so I only post/reblog content about controversies/politics every once in awhile, and only if I think it's super important. Feel free to send me an ask about my opinions, but don't expect a super in depth answer

#Art - I only tag my personal art with this, and as I'm an artist this is a pretty big chunk of my blog aside from reblogs

#[fandom here] ranch dip - this is my tag for posts that are only interesting if you like whatever topic it is, ex: #original ranch dip which is for any OC content and #obj ranch dip which is for object show stuff. I don't tag any of my #reposts [reblogs] with ranch dips!

#talk talks - anything that's my own posts - it used to be for whenever I'm ranting and it's a long post, but it's fucked up because I used to put it on reblogs so just dont go near the beginning of the account

#talk talks?? - for reblogs that are me talk talking it up in the tags but it's kind of fucked up because I used to put it on og posts but I can't be fucked to clean it up, see avove

#search for smos - this is cherubpuppets object au but I'm THE ONLY ONE THATS POSTED IN THE TAG SO I GUESS ITS MINE UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE MAKES FANART >:[

[I think dni lists are stupid and just put a hit list on you but. I like user boxes. That's my persona don't steal it please thx]

I mostly post about whatever hyperfixation I have at the moment or whatever game I've been playing recently, which of writing right now is Ask Goldie Anything, though I've also been known to post Zelda content, with scattered posts of Hatsune Miku and I dont ever really post about it but i reblog alot of varied stuff from hyper specific stuff my mutuals post to random memes I laughed at. my asks are always open if you want to request for me to talk about something or draw considering i dont have a bank account to take commissions yet and I dont have very much motivation to draw on my own, here's a few of my favorite art pieces showing off my range of art skill

By the way, I have alt tags with little rambles about the art on most posts, the exception being whenever I'm A. Too tired to add them or B. The image is already explained somewhere else in my post :] pretty pretty please check if there's an alt tag on posts, if the alt tag is two paragraphs then the second paragraph is always the ramble, and a few other artists do this as well

“Oh yeah, of course.” Jaa pointed. “On the other side of the hallway. First door.” He blushed a little. “I-I didn’t mean to insult you.” He wasn’t very good at culture stuff. “I better go help Apanda.”

"There was no offense, Jaa, was it?" She had at this point removed enough cloths that her semi-avian body was exposed up to just avove her breasts.
