bunny's dream life scripting series!

hello friends! i am so excited to share with you my biggest project yet: a do-it-yourself scripting series with easy to use templates and an abundance of “things to manifest” ideas, all in one!

a lot of people hear scripting and think, “oh great, another method to learn and use that i’ll never stick with.” but this isn’t a method, this is an incredibly personalized and fun writing project to help you stay motivated, organized, and excited about your dream life, down to the teeny-tiniest of details! i have found that one of the biggest obstacles that many people face when manifesting their dream lives is that they don’t actually know what they desire, so they flip flop back and forth and nothing shows up in their reality (or, more confusion and stagnation shows up) because they can’t make a decision. it is my hope that this series will provide a fun and inspiring solution to this problem so that you can start making your dream life a reality!

how it works:

i will post my "mega scripting template" soon that will have all of the categories listed below. i will then post “things to manifest” ideas related to a chosen category of the week so that you have cute and fun ideas of what you can fill in for your own script. working on one category at a time will help you really focus on what you want in that aspect of your life, which will help you get really specific!

categories include:

appearance

skills and abilities

revision of your past

recreating loved ones

the world and society

friends and community

biographical information on yourself

personality, vibe, and how you are perceived

creating new sp's (romantic, platonic, familial, etc.)

health and wellness (including peace of mind and safety)

spirituality and manifesting abilities

possessions and home

education and career

money and wealth

love life

who this series is for:

anyone who needs help getting specific / deciding on their desires

those who enjoy neatly categorized ideas and templates, or who have adhd brains like me that love writing lists to stay organized

those who don’t care about scripting or organizing but who want an abundance of fun ideas of things to manifest that they can refer to whenever they want

those who aren’t looking to design their dream life or manifest and want to world-build for their writing or creative projects

i am so excited to hear about the lovely lives you will dream up and make real. thank you for participating, and make sure to look back frequently for new updates!

love, bunny 💕

For the last two weeks or so I've been playing the Mega Drive dungeon crawler Shining in the Darkness. I've recently been going through all the various action-RPGs the system had to offer and kinda found myself lusting for more, so I expanded the scope.

Shining in the Darkness had one of those cover arts I vividly remember seeing in game stores during the 90s, I understood already back then that whatever this was would be too complicated for my feeble preschool brain, but it had a shiny glossy allure that still beckoned to me with promises of daring adventures and grand battles. Questions lingered in my head: Who is that evil bastard zapping sparks at Cavin from the Gummi Bears? Why has the king entrusted the safety of his kingdom to a meagre boy and his two misfit friends?

Well, it turns out that big bad guy is called Dark Sol, the bane of all game difficulty discourse, and the reason the king has enlisted three poor kids is because there is no one else to rely on after your daddy went missing. Everyone else just sorta gives up along the way.

My initial conclusion of this game was to commend my young self for the striking assessment, my five year old self would never get anywhere in this game between the English text, abstracted navigation and number crunching battle mechanics. Shining in the Darkness is a bona fide classic dungeon gauntlet endurance simulator, where you traverse vanishing point block tunnels and encounter enemies. I've played one or two games like this before, like the original Phantasy Star, but this time a new desire struck me. I wanted to draw maps. Maybe I'm just getting older and more patient, leading me to wilfully ignore easily available resources online.

By my recollection, this is the first time I've dedicated myself to playing a game like this. Usually I just resort to my sense of direction, which I've gathered seems to at least be above average, since anytime I go anywhere with anyone I always end up playing shepherd so they don't get lost. Worst case scenario I'll just fall back to mapping efforts by online heroes from years past. For Shining in the Darkness I persisted blindly about halfway through until I admitted to myself charting a map of the labyrinthine caves would be a lot easier. Luckily, the game allows you to spend 1 MP to see a chunk of where you've walked, meaning I could get neatly organized segments to copy by hand.

Perhaps my biggest takeaway from this endeavour was how much of the game experience was expressed through this map project. I spent just as much time slaying beasts as I did counting tiles and filling them out with my pencil. It became a natural counterbalance that provided vital pacing to the game mechanics. Walking, fighting, charting. In turn, through the principle of learning by doing, I gained a more intimate familiarity with the environments by just replicating them out on a sheet of paper. I found that while the map helped, I actually didn't need it much for backtracking because my drawings had helped me remember the layouts of the corridors anyway.

I guess the lesson learned is that while old design sensibilities may appear to be arcane and cumbersome when easier solutions exists, the obfuscation is part of the fun. The game hands me an intentionally hard to navigate world, shows me that it's fully capable of displaying maps of it, but still asks me to provide that dimension myself. Through doing this, I discover that drawing maps is both surprisingly enjoyable and cognitively stimulating. I realize that had I downloaded some pre-packaged maps online and used as my bible, Shining in the Darkness would've been a vastly different experience, one of monotonous meandering through endless fights while confidently striding along the known path.

Perhaps that's why the game was called Shining and the Darkness in Japan, it doesn't flow as well as the western title, but at the same time it poetically reflects this act of discovery. I am Shining, the game provides the Darkness, we work together, we must unify to become whole.

As for Dark Sol, he turned into a big monster boy and was vanquished by a spunky cartographer child and her two cohorts. The unknown has been made known and the kingdom is once more saved.

Five years ago, Jack Ma was not just one of the world’s richest billionaires, but also—perhaps only after President Xi Jinping—the most famous Chinese person in the world.

In the early aughts, Ma built a business empire around his company, Alibaba, which quickly took off as an online shopping juggernaut that first challenged and then outsold Amazon in China, all while branching out into countless other services. For millions of young Chinese people, Ma was their country’s answer to Bill Gates: Ma, a former English teacher, was a self-made man whose example seemed to illustrate the sky-high achievement and wealth that one could attain through a combination of entrepreneurial vision and relentless drive.

In China, Ma was in constant demand, the subject of numerous films and TV shows, while overseas, he became a kind of unofficial face of his country. He operated his own philanthropic organization, paying special attention to Africa just as China was becoming the continent’s leading global partner. He took star turns at Davos. And he bought the struggling English-language Hong Kong newspaper, the South China Morning Post, evincing a willingness to risk losing a great deal of money to revive an old publication with British colonial-era roots and turn it into a globally respected, Chinese-owned news operation.

Then, in 2020, on the eve of what was expected to be one of the biggest initial public offerings (IPOs) in history, Ma’s world was turned upside down as his empire became the target of hostile regulatory actions from the Chinese Communist Party. Authorities canceled the IPO of Ma’s Ant Group (an Alibaba affiliate), levied anti-monopoly actions against his businesses and those of other tech giants, and summoned Ma for hostile lectures and questioning.

Soon, the man who once seemed to be everywhere was scarcely seen at all. To avoid further trouble, without fanfare, he reportedly slipped away to live in a kind of exile in Japan.

In certain ways, Ma’s story is a uniquely Chinese one. It demonstrates the Communist Party’s obsession with control, as the party has long worked to prevent the emergence of a fully independent private sector in China. It is also part of the saga of Xi, who has worked hard to concentrate power in his own hands and who brooks no rivals in public attention and adulation.

Yet the humbling of Ma—and an entire class of other newly minted, mega-rich tech entrepreneurs in China—also speaks profoundly to political developments in the United States surrounding President Donald Trump’s reconquest of power after four years out of office.

In bringing this new class of business titans to heel, China’s leaders made a carefully considered strategic decision about the direction of their country’s political economy. In effect, they were saying that Beijing would never grant a dominant role to the extraordinarily lucrative and freewheeling private technology sector. Put slightly differently, that sector would have no sacred cows and would never be allowed to cast a shadow on the party and state.

In the emerging Trump regime, we are seeing just the opposite. The administration is a collection of billionaires that almost mindlessly celebrates wealth. On his first full day in office, for example, Trump gathered in the White House with two of the world’s richest men—Larry Ellison of Oracle and Masayoshi Son of Softbank—along with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to salute the launch of a new project called Stargate, billed as a $500 billion joint venture to build artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Trump’s explanation for why this merited his support was almost childishly vapid. “AI seems to be very hot,” he said. “It seems to be the thing that a lot of smart people are looking at very strongly.”

So far, few details about the project are known. But as Washington Post coverage suggests, the companies investing vast amounts of money in AI are almost giddy that, unlike the Biden administration, the new White House seems willing to largely let the tech giants make up their own rules as free from regulation as possible.

The centrality of tech titans to Trump’s ambitions is, of course, best captured by one man: Elon Musk. Many of the richest and most powerful U.S. businesspeople were on hand for—and helped fund—Trump’s inauguration festivities, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. But it is Musk who has dominated the scene ever since Trump tapped him to help downsize the government and streamline regulations outside of any traditional institutional framework.

To say that this invites concerns about conflicts of interest doesn’t begin to capture the extraordinary partnership between Musk and Trump. In contrast with Xi’s China, Musk and big tech capital are rubbing out the lines between business and the state.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by Musk, has now officially become part of the U.S. government. Originally, DOGE was set to be co-led by Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. But as the Post reported, their visions for the organization diverged—and Musk’s prevailed. Whereas Ramaswamy favored an approach based on legal strategies and a mastery of regulatory arcana, Musk seeks to place technology at the center of streamlining efforts.

Musk built his world-beating fortune through technology. It would not be unreasonable to expect that the access he gains to government data while working for Trump and the tech tools that he chooses to pursue will profit him immensely. On Inauguration Day, Musk even promoted his aspiration of landing humans on Mars—a long-held goal for his company SpaceX—as a national project, saying, “We’re going to take DOGE to Mars.”

The following day, Musk, seemingly unafraid of Trump’s ire, rushed to cast doubt on the Stargate venture. As in so much other technology, Musk is a player in AI, too, and one can readily imagine that knocking Stargate was a way to further his own interests.

China has not reined in its tech sector out of any belief in democracy, but rather through a seeming understanding that the new forces of wealth, data, intelligence, information, commerce, and communications can hijack a country’s political system and lead it into dangerously uncharted territory.

Trump, who betrays little technical sophistication, has done the opposite, as he has embraced the big tech sector and celebrated its wealthiest. If this is not challenged, the world might one day look back at this time as the moment when the U.S. state was captured.

Do you have any head cannons or thoughts on Baldi from Baldi's Basics? Or anything else from the game.

Ya

Also I got you a leaf.

YOUUU. HELLO !!! HI i have several thoughts and headcanons i have been thinking about him for over a month straight (i haven't posted any drawings because i'm self conscious about how i draw him). but im super super scatterbrained about it so forgive me .. ill just list them as i go. also this isn't everything but this post is going to be long anyway. oops

BALDI BALDIMORE . hmm .. mainly headcanons here .. gonna forget a lot of stuff

1st . i am world's biggest baldi sympathizer . i really do believe he's just a silly and kind teacher. in every sequence hes in where hes not chasing you he's very kind to you ... shows you his songs and involves you in his projects. lets you use him as a test subject for his shrink machine. though the most interesting may be the secret ending for classic style. after getting every question wrong, he calmly explains negative numbers to the player. it's so much more like he's gently holding your hand or something ...

i like to think hes also unsettling or off-putting to others sometimes. weird creature from the woods to me ....... weird behaviors ... animal .. but very sweet

he is so so so smart. he's like giga mega smart if his inventions say anything. he's way too overqualified to be teaching at hereschool

has ten disorders. autistic. medicated

about what he is .. i don't think he's a human. i think their universe is kinda like a fucked up tawog. i really really liked the headcanon that he was some toy-esque doll / thing, so i largely took that and ran with it. he's made up of some sort of soft, bendable plastic with ball joints and hinges etc. i just call it "bioplastic" and i have a few ideas pertaining to some biology but i won't go on about it

while his hearing is often a great attribute to have and is very useful, it can quickly become a detriment if theres too many sounds, if things are too loud, too grating, etc. he can become disoriented, confused, agitated, and very overwhelmed <- additionally when hes overwhelmed he may communicate in ASL instead of verbally ! also a good skill if a student or staff may be HoH or deaf

will focus very very intensely on his projects that he may spiral. likr he doesn't sleep or eat or blink for 3 days straight. the principal will go find him and force him to stop when this happens

^ speaking of him and the principal: you were there for my louimar episode so this shouldnt be a surprise. ermm educational yaoi <- what my friend and i lovingly call it ... im a simple man with common taste ... their mechanics work really together and the principal is calm and quiet while baldi is more eccentric. they are sweet . to ME !!!

that basement he has in bbcr? he built that and he lives there. and no one really knows he does. like a freak. i dont know whats wrong with him .. works on projects and inventions down there

^ the principal would actually find out hes staying there and. despite the "what in the world" factor to it, he'd let baldi stay with him so he's in an actual house ((and also because he's really lonely))

BLADDER. is his brother. and so is badsum but i don't really think about him .. bladder is like an opposite to him in quite a few ways; he's normal . he's very well adjusted, grounded, kind and has light and hope in his eyes. he's a physiology teacher who works at "thereschool". despite him having brothers they all have no parents. they umm spawned in and that's it.

he's also pretty good at his job! he likes to incorporate different tactile and visual methods into his lessons (math machines + balloons + yct pad) . he'll say he doesn't have a favorite student (it's arts and crafters) (sometimes they'll draw him pictures and he'll always hang it up in the classroom or take them)

^ arts and crafters is also somewhat like a snake ... biiig sock snake. taller than baldi. will be over x2 as big as an adult

about the school .. everyone is pretty close. it's a rather small school with a small amount of students and staff. but this means they get to do fun stuff like all take field trips together at the same time. beans isn't included he is my least favorite and i hope he perishes in the forest

and: i want to talk about null / filename2 specifically. they're a lot more entwined with the whole game thing.

not entirely concrete on my concepts for him, but i like to think he may be some sort of scrapped or unused character left out of bounds to corrupt. he dislikes baldi. "you took everything from me" "who are you"

one idea i really like to think about it is that he believes the game is much 'bigger' than it truly is, that there ARE things beneath the surface to worry over. but that's not true, and it's moreso he's trying to give himself a purpose other than what he is: nothing.

with baldi being the mascot and all, he may also believe him to be the (if not one of) the sources of 'evil' behind the game, even if it's not like that. so he's basically really misguided in his beliefs.

also he's stupid. one of the reasons i think this of him is because of his cutscene at the end of his chase sequence. "i see you found a note from the ... 'developer'. [...] well, this is what i think about everyone who tells the same LIES!". <- it IS just a note from the developer, that is TRULY all it is. he's fooling himself. someone put him out of his misery. causing problems over here.

also he'd play cod and post on reddit "aita"

here's some drawings for your time . and thank you for the leaf

[ishido-enjoyer]

(Spoiler-infested rambling about Koji Suzuki’s Ring series, and Ryuji Takayama in particular, under the cut.)

Sooo I’ve been obsessed with Koji Suzuki’s Ring series recently and I’m just trying to sort out my thoughts on Ryuji’s character, since it’s understandably pretty controversial, specifically as to Ryuji basically being introduced to the story as a self-confessed rapist. Aside from Ryuji’s rape claims, he’s also very prone to making very misanthropic remarks and is, in general, very eccentric and a loner by nature, but also extremely intelligent—it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say brilliant—and highly discerning. He is the first person Asakawa immediately thinks of to try to help him unravel the video’s curse and hopefully help break it and save Asakawa’s life. But Asakawa can’t help but feel discomfort and disgust when he’s in Ryuji’s presence. Asakawa doesn’t like to be touched by Ryuji, and doesn’t consider Ryuji a close friend; Ryuji, for his part, considers Asakawa his *best* friend. For Asakawa, Ryuji is simple a tool to be used. He has no moral qualms about getting Ryuji involved because he really doesn’t value Ryuji’s life, because of what he takes for granted about Ryuji’s character from Ryuji’s own mouth; if Ryuji happens to die in the process of figuring all of this out, so be it.

It’s interesting to speculate to what extent Ryuji’s character defects make Asakawa feel better about himself—especially the way he treats his wife. Maybe for Asakawa, Ryuji is one of those casual friends he keeps around to remind himself that hey, at least he’s still not as bad as *this guy*.

And then at the end of Ring comes the big twist. The young graduate student Asakawa has been assuming all this time to be Ryuji’s lover tells him, basically, that everything he thought he knew about Ryuji was wrong. She insists that Ryuji was still a virgin, that he had been “like a child when he was with me”… “When there was a third person around he was a gentleman, and with you I imagine he probably played the scoundrel. Am I right? … If he hadn’t put on an act like that, he never would’ve been able to get along in this world. Do you see what I’m saying? Can you understand that?” (…) “He was so pure… Not superficial, like those jerks I go to school with.” Asakawa is suitably mindblown and reevaluating everything he thought he knew about Ryuji, and how he’d always been a loner with no close friends. He acknowledges at the very least that there was “a darkness concealed within Ryuji.” But he doesn’t have time to ponder it too much, since his wife’s and child’s deadline are still looming.

Of course, Mai could be exaggerating, wanting to defend the reputation of the man she loved. But in Loop, one of the discoveries Ando makes while performing Ryuji’s autopsy, is that he was almost certainly too small to have been able to have sex with a woman. In the 4th book (Birthday), we learn beyond a shadow of a doubt that Mai herself is a virgin.

I was hoping Mai’s short story in Birthday would shed more light on her relationship with Ryuji and on his background but unfortunately it didn’t. But I still have the other the rest of Birthday and then the fifth (and as far as I’m aware last) book in the series, S).

Personally I find Ryuji’s character fascinating—one of the most fascinating characters I’ve ever come across. And the roller coaster ride of constantly thinking I had him figured out and having my assumptions repeatedly overturned has been one of the biggest delights of this series. By the end of book one, I was convinced he was a hero after all; by the end of book two, I was convinced he was a mega-villain literally trying to wipe out all humanity; and the end of book three dismantled that view in turn.

So. Yeah. He’s definitely a complicated character. Whether he was a rapist seems to be open to interpretation but I lean towards thinking he was just blowing smoke to try to project a certain image with certain people, and something warped in his psychological makeup just got off on at least making Asakawa perceive him in that way. (And yes, it’s still fucked up that he would even joke about committing rapes; I’m not defending him on this at all.) It’s honestly sad to me though that some commenters I’ve come across on Reddit and Goodreads have actually given Ryuji’s rape claims as the single reason why they stopped reading the book. Because this series is so brilliant and captivating on so many levels. I haven’t been this absorbed in a series in years. (I’m glad they left this aspect of his character out of the movies though, if only to make Ryuji more palatable for the audience).

Anyway, I’ll stop rambling now. Here’s a pretty good older thread about Ryuji on Reddit that has some interesting takes:

Religious Musings #2

I think I just cant buy into Christianity fully. Something is missing for me. Its been a tool of oppression not freedom more often than not. I remember asking questions as a child about things that made no sense. One question I reflect on often since I was a kid.... if innocence and ignorance are protected.... then why do kids need to be baptized? Its not really fair to ask for babies and children to devote themselves to a belief they cant even fully grasp. I dont like that and I'm glad I was never pressured into it. Christians out the gate put sin on a little baby born into the world. There is no greater innocence than baby.

I went to church with my grandmas on both sides often. My biggest gripe as a kid was (kinda still is a big problem) Black church is too long. Music is always magnificent, but waking up and attending church for 8 or 9 hours is much too long for me. I could never be that committed to someone telling me I'm going to hell for a full day. 🙃 I never walked away from church feeling happy or relieved. Those rapture stories absolutely terrified me as a child. My childhood friend had those left behind movies and all it is, is scary. I went to church with her too sometimes. She lived in the projects, but her mama paid those tithes. I attended a tithe dinner one time with them. It was nice enough but I still dont think a tithe dinner is enough after giving part of your pay. Her mom was a single mom of 4 kids living in poverty with roaches. Religious poor people still make me scratch my head. Its not faith that got us out the hood, its hard hard hard work. Poverty is a cycle thats hard to overcome. Maybe the universe rewards choices and its not God at all. If God helps those that help themselves why do some poor people work themselves to an early grave while someone born rich never even had to work a day in their life? These are things I think about constantly. I still love gospel music though.

We also went to Church on the Move as kids. Honestly it was ok. They would pick us up at home on a bus, take us to church, feed us pizza after service. We'd sing songs to and from the mega church. My brother and sister were constant reminders of my believer short comings. Those two are baptized and go to church regularly. Back then they would devote themselves to Christ every time we attended. I would just sit there staring at my coloring page of white Jesus. I never in my life have been moved by fear. Love is the only emotion that has ever moved me. I never ever felt love in a church setting. Im too loving to be fearful of my decisions. I have only ever been a harm to myself. Christians talk about suicide being negative and thats good. I dont off myself because of the people I love. My son doesn't deserve to be without a mother. It has nothing to do with it being a sin and me going to hell. Im on my way to hell according to Christians anyway.

The only ideas I have ever liked is the teachings of Jesus. That is the only part of the bible I had no questions except its not really any proof he's even real. Regardless if he's real or fake for all of humanity his morals are how I believe we move forward. Im NOT talking about the "he died for our sins". As far as I'm concerned I dont buy into it. Im sorry, but Christianity brought the crusades and slavery at the forefront. There is no sin larger than the mass murder and enslavement of fellow humans. We could live as humans for another 1000 years and it wouldnt be enough to make up for the harm. This Christian God seems to really hate Black Americans. We die in childbirth in America at the highest rates and the violence done upon us in past/present is proof enough for me. Christians claim to be pro life but we can't talk about the disproportionate deaths of my people. Interesting.... its almost puzzling. My people are some of the most devout Christians in the world. Hmm.... 🤔

Im agnostic because I dont have proof Christianity is fake but some of the stories have been debunked by science. Makes me lean toward atheist views looking at facts but still not enough proof so im firmly agnostic. I as a Foundational Black American have to note that Christianity was forced upon us. I don't believe the oppressor would give us a God of freedom. It logically doesn't make sense to worship the same God of enslavers. It does seem that everyone worships the same God. Jewish, Muslim and Christians all share the same God. Who is right? They all would equally say that they are right. The bible also is ok with pedos but not gay people? All religions have abused children. The laser focus is Catholics but its really all religions and denominations that have widespread SA. Pedos get forgiveness at church so it doesn't give incentives for it to stop. I wish the focus would be on pedos being evil rather than gays. It is such a gigantic failure, pretty irredeemably so.

In my post about the Pope I talked about how I heard the call a few times over the years listening to the Pope. I had a conversation with my grandma about how I didnt buy in to Christianity fully. She thinks its a matter of switching denominations. Im not so sure its that simple for me. Anyways, I dont think it was a call to religion. Im just a highly empathetic person and suffering is an unnecessary part of living the human experience. I believe the call inside of me is for community and compassion.

I also dont buy into blanket forgiveness. Horrible people get to just be awful and we forgive because we may get a mansion in the afterlife. Everything sends you to hell, but you can just repent after a lifetime of being awful? People abuse religion, but me an agnostic that deeply cares for others will go to hell because i dont buy in fully? Yeah.... absolutely not. No religious leader has been able to explain to me why this makes sense. I can be a good person without a mansion in heaven. I try everyday to be a good person, but I'll go to hell while a pedo gets baptized for heaven. There is no greater evil than a person who harms children. Until I see more religious leaders preach this.... I wont be buying in.

(this review is going to be shorter than i would've liked because of the character limit, if you want my actual unfiltered thoughts on this magazine you can find them in this mega folder.)

let's start with the review:

i don't know how this is being sold in bookstores so casually. it should be banned. it shouldn't have gotten greenlit in the first place. i don't understand what horrible people agreed on publishing this horrible magazine made by horrible creators.

don't pick up this magazine ever. it was the worst mistake i've ever made. my biggest regret, probably. i'm going to try and explain my reasoning here, even though it should be obvious.

concept (3/10):

so...i don't really understand the themes. the first volume is supposed to celebrate the creators getting married 100 times? which is...really disturbing and distressing. why would they share it with other people? shouldn't they be embarrassed? but i guess it is something...why did the theme shift from "marriage" to "god" in the second volume? what happened during these 101-200 marriages? actually, looking at the reviews of the first volume, i don't get why they released a second one. clearly there is no demand. i'm hearing rumors that a third volume's in the making, too...do they never learn? literally everyone is telling them to stop. nobody is asking for this. it's just annoying. but that just goes to show how self centered and selfish the creators are, i guess. and indecisive. because what will the theme even be? what even is the point? why not just quit...?

design: (4/10)

pretty simple. i don't have any notes on this one. it is misleading, though. it's so average, like they're trying to trick you into thinking this is an average zine. a normal zine. it really isn't.

memes: (6/10)

cute kitten pictures are the only tolerable thing about this whole magazine. the four points are for the project sekai meme and the chainsaw man meme. those were not funny. the rest is fine, i guess.

writing: (1/10)

i'm giving it one point because i'm generous, it doesn't actually have any redeeming qualities. from the very first pieces you could tell that the author has gathered up all the love they have ever felt before and put it in each and every word. imagine this: you're drinking tea, and you accidently put two spoons of sugar instead of one. disgusting, right? too hopeful. too full of love. too raw. just thinking about it makes me shake. what the fuck is wrong with the author. in an ideal world, i would've wished for them to find a better therapist, but i don't think any therapist deserves to go through that. they should just die, maybe...?

art: (1/10)

no redeeming qualities again. yes, i know, i'm too generous. in this case it's actually so vile i threw up several times. too joyful. too intimate. again, too much love. what is with this magazine and love? aren't there other, better things to celebrate? not to mention, i've seen the artist say some pretty weird stuff before. like how they enjoy...yaoi...i know, that's so fucked up...they're really fucking evil and unsalvageable. death is the only solution for what's wrong with them, whatever that is.

final rating: (2/10)

i can't bring myself to rate it any lower. i feel kind of bad. even after all i've said, i understand that the creators didn't choose to be born this way, you know? of course, i don't think they can get any better, so...i just wish they would disappear as soon as possible. make the world a better place.

hope this review helped. don't waste your time and money on this thing, it does more harm than good (it does not do any good, really). go enjoy something else.

for those unaware this is for vol 3 of yurimag!! it’s a zine i make with public enemy number one @impastopesto it’s the worlds top magazine that celebrates yuri of all kinds. part one and part two are available for free on my itch.io account: haunted-oyster

this is the general vibe of the zine btw

[thefrogdalorian]

i've been seeing a lot of discourse concerning pedro's involvement with the mandalorian going forward, especially with the rumoured fantastic four casting and i have THOUGHTS:

i think pedro being in the suit in season 2 skewed everyone's perception of what his involvement with mando would be. as in, i think that was the exception rather than the rule. which is sad because its always going to be special to know it was really him, fully embodying din, but he said he physically can't take it! that's what stuntmen are for, after all. plus, i think if you take a second to look at the man's filmography, since he started mando he's been PROLIFIC. since season one even, he's been taking other projects. they're just bigger now. that's part of why the role probably appealed to him and you know, good for him! booked and busy! but more importantly, i don't feel like any projects he's been involved in thus far have compromised his ability to do the character justice. i don't expect that to change, either.

i also think it's kinda funny people think disney hasn't got that man locked into the most watertight contract possible. if they needed him onset to show his face in season 3, he would've been there. the mouse would've dragged him kicking and screaming. i personally think the story didn't need it, to have din redeem himself and then show it again, it just wouldn't have made sense. better to wait for another opportunity in the future. i don't think that his tlou filming schedule compromised anything and i remember him being able to appear at things like celebration when needed.

at the end of the day, it's disney, an evil mega corporation. they can literally reanimate someone who died if they want to. no doubt in my mind when he signed to be mando, this was all thought out. they all know filming any helmetless scenes wouldn't take too long, neither would recording dialogue. so, pedro is not going to sit around and twiddle his thumbs out of loyalty to the character, this is business!!

as much as i love din, for pedro it's just another job. i do think he cares about din too, he's shown that plenty, but he's an actor. doing what actors do, especially one who struggled for as long as he did to make it big. so i'm thrilled to see his success. plus, mando is not some small time show. it literally had the biggest finale of any disney+ show this year, against some tough competition. mando and din are beloved, he knows that and i think it's clear to see how proud he is of it.

i'm so happy he our din djarin and he always will be. he wants to play din for as long as possible, he said that many times! but in the meantime, more pedro in bigger and bigger roles is always good for the world i think.

good luck to him.

Excerpt from this story from Canary Media:

Cleaning up the grid will require installing a lot of batteries to store renewable energy. Startup Element Energy has delivered a powerful proofpoint for a new way to do that more cheaply without sacrificing safety.

Element has been operating what appears to be the largest grid storage plant in the world composed of previously used electric vehicle batteries, co-founder and CEO Tony Stratakos told Canary Media last week. The 53 megawatt-hour project, which is located in West Texas at a wind farm owned by mega-developer Nextera Energy Resources, came online in May, but the startup is going public with the information now for the first time.

Previously, the largest second-life grid battery that Canary Media had reported on was B2U Storage Solutions’ project in Lancaster, California, which has grown to 28 megawatt-hours.

Element got its hands on a warehouse full of modules taken out of used EV battery packs, all in various states of health after their time pushing different cars around. The startup repackages them into containers operated by its proprietary hardware and software, which fine-tune commands at the cell level, instead of treating all the batteries as a monolithic whole. This enables the system to get more use out of each cell without stressing any so much that they break down or — worst-case scenario for a battery plant — cause a fire.

Element Energy is technically the battery vendor to the power plant’s owner. So far, no company has publicly taken credit for buying this innovative system from Element and installing it, though a Department of Energy grant announcement for the project describes it as a joint pursuit with Nextera, which happens to own the wind farm location where the batteries were installed.

Since Element isn’t in the business of power plant development, its strategy relies on leveraging the success of this first major installation to convince more storage developers to buy its lower priced, refurbished grid batteries instead of the brand-new variety.

Venture capitalists have doubled down on that strategy, handing Element a $72 million Series B last November, alongside a $38 million debt facility from Keyframe Capital. That followed a $15 million Series A in 2019. Stratakos also revealed that his company finalized a partnership with LG Energy Solution Vertech, the grid storage branch of one of the major global lithium-ion manufacturers. That much bigger company — which previously invested in Element through its venture arm — will take Element’s battery enclosures and supply the inverters and auxiliary equipment needed to make a turnkey power plant. LG will also provide operations and maintenance, alleviating the risks associated with buying a long-term grid asset from a young startup.

tell me aboutbr irene and barb and irene and irene

ahhhh omg CAN I???

ok ok Irene is a biggggg lesbian. The world’s biggest scientist lesbian ever. Barb is a closeted bisexual who hasn’t realized her true love for women, still caught up in her lust for Curt. Irene is very much smitten, quiet and reserved, while Barb is completely oblivious and very very loud when it comes to everything. Barbs excitement over science and her projects is something Irene adores for sure, and she is completely devoted to her (although is silently veryyyy sick of the agent Curt mega obsession)

I don’t know if Barb ever actually realizes Irene’s attraction is real genuine love. Maybe only after Curt finally leaves the agency. They definitely had moments of intimacy during the 4 years Curt was away because Curt wasn’t on barbs mind at all, Irene had her chance. Even then, when Curt came back she very clearly changed.

I’d like to think after Curt leaves officially the agency that Irene talks with her and they can create a genuine relationship but I’d need to think on it more. Barb’s goodbye to Curt would lead very well into a possible way of her being through with him but also Irene I think is sick of it. She doesn’t want to be Barb’s second option, like any sane person.

I dunno. I’ve got thoughts on them. Many thoughts. May write for them soon idk

[Review] Zool Redimensioned (PS4)

A retro revival done right.

In 1991, the successful Sheffield-based dev house Gremlin Graphics released a mascot platformer starring a gremlin ninja on the Amiga. It was popular enough to score a quick sequel (contracted out to short-lived studio The Warp Factory), followed in the pipeline by a boatload of ports to other contemporary systems. Zool burned bright but burned out fast and within a few years he was just another forgotten 90s mascot.

Fast forward nearly three decades and Gremlin Graphics is no more. One of its successor studios is the prestigious Sumo Digital. Sumo operates a graduate programme for young devs to get a foot in the door, called Sumo Digital Academy. The Academy works on smaller projects and can then release a commercial product to be proud of while gaining valuable experience. One such project is a remaster/remix/rework of Zool… specifically the Mega Drive version, which is in many ways more fully realised than the Amiga original.

Recently on stream I covered the Mega Drive Zool, as well as the Master System and Game Boy conversions, as well as the sequel on Amiga CD32 and Jaguar. Ostensibly this was to assess the games as Sonic clones or competitors, which is a comparison sometimes made online. From my experience (and briefly checking the Amiga and SNES versions) the Mega Drive is maybe the most Sonic-esque with what I feel is slightly more emphasis on inertia and slopes, but it’s not really trying to be a clone.

The Amiga feels like a good home for it, with its British/Euro sensibilities: loads of items to pick up, secrets to find, and a quirky setting. Zool can slide and spin jump to attack enemies, which are a bit like Sonic’s spin attack, but mostly you’ll be mashing the attack button which fires projectiles. He can also climb walls; this is a feature backported to most of the post-Amiga conversions [except the GB version] from the sequel, as originally he could only cling and wall jump.

As you venture through surreal worlds heavily themed around eg. sweets, or toys, or power tools you’re aiming to grab a certain percentage (depending on difficulty setting) of all the myriad pickups scattered around before the exit will unlock. The levels can get pretty varied, with verticality, branching paths, and exploration involved; the Master System version in particular pulled some clever tricks. The worlds end in a boss fight with an appropriately themed nasty, with highlights including a punk banana in fruit world or a nightmarish clown in funfair world. The fights themselves are universally underwhelming though, and after the final boss (a flying cactus), the game ends abruptly without a confrontation with the purported big bad Krool.

And so we come to Redimensioned. As retro remakes go, this makes a lot of changes to make the game more palatable (and less crushingly difficult), while keeping the original level design and graphics. The biggest change is zooming the screen way, way out, which I absolutely adore. It’s a game changer for a game which felt originally felt cramped and brutal in dealing out damage. They’ve also added a double jump which feels natural and lovely, letting you cover more of this wide open screen and aiding in the platforming.

It’s clear they’ve re-examined the game and made big tweaks in the name of modernity and accessibility without being precious about it. There’s a new tutorial level that also ties into the story nicely. You have 5 hit points rather than 4, the timer has been eliminated, and I’m pretty sure enemies drop health refills more often. You don’t even need to get an item percentage to exit a level anymore! Lives are still a factor but thanks to the changes I had over 30 to spare by the end of the game. There’s also some nice assist options like invincibility, infinite jumps, and turbo fire if needed. Or, if you prefer a more authentic experience, there’s a mode that requires items, removes the double jump, and you can even adjust the screen size.

The game feels modern in other ways too, like the level select. This also displays new badge rewards for getting all the big item pickups, and doing deathless runs and speedruns. The new bestiary adds some lore as well as cheekiness, and the PS4 release saw the addition of a party mode (also added via update to the Steam version). This is a local multiplayer-only thing which has three different minigames in single-screen arenas, while you’re assaulted by the game’s bosses. It seems like it could be a laugh with the right group.

There are a few small things missing; the original had an arrow point you to the goal, but it’s not as necessary with the improved screen real estate. Gone too is the bizarre Chupa Chups branding that permeated world 1; their logo was slapped all over the original game (even more so in the sequel), in a way that never really felt natural.

The biggest change to the game’s content is the boss fights, which have all been reworked in some way. The screen size changes the feel of this fights and they’re not as brutal, but to compensate they have inventive new attack patterns or phases, like the jackhammer coming back for a surprise second round, or the toy robot summoning waves of enemies during the fight. These are great but even better is the ending, which sort of has a proper throwdown with Krool finally! Ok, so he’s just a pair of eyes in the background but it gives the game more of a real conclusion at last.

This redo retake is built directly on the Mega Drive version, which is probably the right choice with its expanded features and lovely crunchy soundtrack… but I was hoping that the other versions would get a nod in some way. I think they all had unique level designs! The sequel is also ignored entirely, sadly. I was hoping for at least a playable Zooz (the female equal partner from Zool 2), but no. Not even in the party mode which instead puts funny heads on multiple Zools.

I do really love how much they were able to smooth out this kind of creaky game and make it feel fresh while in turn giving it a lot of respect. I just always want more from these retro rehashes, but the scope of this was taking what’s likely the best version of Zool and rethinking it, making it the best it can be within the bounds of that specific version. And I can respect that.

Stardrifting Summons

"Hmm? A summons? ...From the High Elder of Gelida?"

The young Zarkthanite engineer, who had been tinkering with his Bioforce Gun to push the boundaries of how much firepower one firearm could hold without crushing his non-mechanical right arm to dust, stood up on a stepping stool next to him to view the urgent message displayed on each of the seven big screen monitors that lined the northern wall of his research dungeon. His bespectacled red eyes just barely peered over the massive gun in front of him as he looked at his monitors.

"Gelidarling, open the message. Main screen. Project to center, offset [39cm] at [3π/2 radians]."

One second later, the message alert disappeared from each of the six monitors displaying various firearm blueprints around the central and biggest one, with that central monitor now displaying the apparent summons in full. The contents thereof were also, from above, projected in bright blueish white wording close to the center of the room just in front of the engineer's massive weapon where he could read them. His eyes immediately went to the top of said message as he read it, some of it aloud to himself.

"Let's see... "Classified", "Share with no one", blah blah blah, "Jiphoshraton..." then bog-standard opening paragraph, blah blah blah, okay, here we go. "Arrive at the Holy Temple of Awakening in [0100 hours]. Come fully activated. You and five others have been selected to appear for your weapons experti--""

"HE NEEDS ME FOR MY WEAPONS EXPERTISE!?!" shouted the engineer, right as he stumbled backwards off his stepping stool and fell onto the padded concrete wall behind him. After taking a moment to catch his breath and steady his heart rate, the smiling engineer Jiphoshraton stepped in front of his weapon and the table it rested upon to read the rest of the message.

""...selected to appear for your weapons expertise..." Mmhmm, mmhmm...! Then some stuff about the recent attack in Ga-Kori... "As a result of this attack, Gelida has claimed a weapon from another galaxy the likes of which our civilization has never seen--" Oh my stars above...!" He took another moment to steady his breath. "The sooner Gelida can reverse engineer it for the benefit of the world, the better. Bring all research you can carry hidden on your person."

"Holy Temple of Awakening. [0100 hours]. ID yourself before the front desk. They will direct you accordingly. Vopahu be with you--" okay yeah bog-standard closing and signature. FINALLY!"

"At long last!" shouted the gunsmith, already dashing toward the elevator to his weapons dungeon while putting his suit jacket back on. "My giant gun building hobby has finally paid off in a meaningful way! I can contribute to the greater society!"

He stopped at the elevator, catching his breath once more, before hovering his hand over the button that would take him to the the main floor. He paused, retracting the blade on his mechanical left forearm before letting it poke through through the suit jacket he was almost finished putting back on.

"Gelidarling, prepare immediate transport to the Holy Temple of Awakening, then activate home defenses after I depart!"

"Maybe he'll finally entertain my global mega-turret defense system idea after all is said and done," the engineer said to himself as he was taken above to the main floor of his house.

Staff

Here we have the many members of Luxure's staff. Or at least the important ones...

Founder: Lusamine

Lusamine is the founder of Luxure. It was her idea and she designed and had the Aether Paradise build this aritifical region.

After being freed from her own darker mind, Lusamine was finally able to live one again. And that's when she realised how.... Sterile the rest of the world had become. Now being herself when she tried to explore her own..... Desires... She discovered it. That no such adult material existed anymore

Like the world had been regressed as if the world existed only for ten years olds.

And so.... She set up Luxure. For people to go and explore these desires as they want, in a safe environment.

Assistant: Wickie

Wickie is Lusamine's assistant. (And maybe lover? There are definitely rumours about the Tek along the island...) She was the one who got in contact with other regions, to get trainers and more to come and visit.

Funder: Oleana

After the fall of President Rose, Oleane inherited all of his money.

Hence why Lusamine went to her. Because even with the blonde's impressive wealth, she did need assistance to complete the project.

And so Oleana uses the island as some stress relief....

Nurse: Delia

With her son being THE world champion, but still continuing his adventure, Delia needed... Something to do with her life, if she was honest.

So she got work in Luxure, acting as the regions one Pokémon Nurse. As most battles do not get too rough, and having the biggest legion of Chansey's in any region, she has a rather easy job

Ranger: Solana

With the disappearances of both humans and Pokémon in the region, Solana was called in to look into what was going on. In secret, of course

Detective: Anabelle

Sent by the International Police to keep an eye on Luxure, and Lusamine mainly. And now she is looking in to the actions of Team Siren.

Tech Support: Penny

The brilliant young girl was brought in to be tech support for the island. Trusted to keep everything running on an automated cycle with next to no human interaction, giving her plenty of time to herself and to enjoy her life.

Professors

Juniper

Lusamine hired Sonia to be the Region's Pokemon Professor, her job basically being to examine how Pokemon react to this new lewd enviroment.

Sonya

After taking over for her grandmother, Sonia needed to go under an apprenticeship to get the offical qualification

Sada

Sada came of her own free will to Luxure, after finding out about the Gijinkamon phenominon. Finding out that the Gijinka Change aspects seemed to be tied into regional variants, Paradox Pokemon and even Mega Evolution.

Field Researcher: Bianca

Bianca was hired by both Sada and Juniper as a field assistant and training to become an offical Professor like Sonia. She is out on the field to gather detail for both professors, this info luckily being intertwined

Total Muses: 11

[tsuki-no-yomi-project]

Tsuki no Yomi Project Overview

Tsuki no Yomi project will comprise of several installment, or to say, different route depending on which of the Kamigami Mitsuki is most influenced by in the storyline and the circumstances of her meeting with Itachi. However, rest assured, in all of them, Itachi will receive a better outcome (no promise for Mitsuki's tho :x) Reminder that all my works will be Mature rated since it will have some sensitive/heavy topic brought out along with some sexual contents (veeeeeeery far in, i don't recommend you to read these expecting quick smut unless you like suffering)

Link Included in the line's title.

Tsuki no Yomi (月の黄泉) Mainline (Amaterasu Route): This story revolves around Itachi Uchiha during his cover in Akatsuki. It started when Itachi and Kisame was assigned to a mission in a small village, which brought him to an unexpected encounter with a woman of enigma whose existence denied the absolute rule of shinobi world. It's a long journey of self discovery and budding of feelings. Mega-longfic, Very slow burn, major FMC OC with complicated background and personality, Eventual romance (and lemons), occasional comedy. This story tackles a lot of issues regarding identity, meaning of existence, depression, self hate and self doubt, as well as other psychological struggle as both of the character search for answer and bond with each other through their struggles. The major goddess that Mitsuki is closest with here is Amaterasu, the chief of Takamagahara, all loving sun goddess with impartial love, and it affects a lot of her personality (note that the characterization contains mixture of some media representation as well, especially Onmyoji mobile game cos I just love what they've done with her personality there)

(TBD) Tsuki no Yomi Villain AU (Oyamatsumi Route) Here, Uchiha Massacre didn't happen. In consequence, the circumstances of their meeting was wildly more different, as Mitsuki got overtaken by the weight of her past and shares/relates more to Oyamatsumi and his disappointment in humanity. This one is the darkest one of all of them. Also no Itachi x OC, since in the universe, Itachi ended up with Izumi. Also uh, I'm sorry Mitsuki but you need to suffer...

(TBD) Tsuki no Yomi Prevention AU (Susanoo Route) Uchiha family had been long favored by Gods, inheriting the blood of the emperor Tenjin who was deemed to come from Amaterasu's Lineage. Susanoo, the whimsical warrior God, especially, loves them way too much he allows the Uchiha to wield his power and the heaven's sacred relic. However, against humanity's politic and ploy, it wouldn't be enough. For once, Susanoo take action, sparing both Mitsuki from her biggest heartbreak, yet assigning her with one additional duty on her behalf, despite her lack of proficiency in the art of war. This will be the lightest of them all, I'm aiming for a "no one dies" conclusion but things are still in building.

Additional Titles/Spinoff:

Basically, it wasn't planned, but it was more spontaneous and fun which allows me to put the characters in different situation than they do in canon

Night in the Red Moon Bar- Modern AU (spin off) It all started from stupid discussion with my friend, a clip I saw, and dumb midnight girl talk. It started as just a fun, romance project which is not afraid to play with cliche, but...

Somehow along the way I started to put a very specific... modern-related issue that might be a bit specific due to the culture I grow in and the people around me is still facing.

My plan ahead is to tackle issues on different set of struggle that modern UniStudent/Bartender Itachi, and OL Young Executive Mitsuki have to tackle. Itachi with familial bonds and own dream, parental expectation, family heritage. Mitsuki with work, image, handling gossip and workplace politic as a woman, and also.. the aftermath of all the toxic relationship that she had. How it had broken her boundary, her self-worth, her ability to discuss her needs in a relationship.. All of them are modern problem that I’m sure most of us have dealt with (familial stuff maybe more strictly to Asian household who cares so much about ancestry and family’s honor)

My friends want to remain unnamed so I just honor the 3 of them here secretly with dogeza and wish that they stop giving me random idea else my mainline will never finish x'D (and hope that their creativity and craziness never cease)
