#blue's emotional intelligence toolkit

[hstayafanart]

I had so much fun drawing this one! I really thought it'd be a chore to do the whole group, but I enjoyed the composition alone enough that I just got excited.

Second last chapter of The Mortal Care Handbook will be up shortly! I'll be sad to see it finished, but I have heaps of fun plans for the next story already <3

Bleh by artsycloudysleepy (General Audiences, Complete)

Cross is ill and delirous. The Bad Sanses are a close-knit found family. I am not good at naming things. (Too scared to upload an old fic, and I have massive writer's block, so took a short snippet of an old one which I liked. This is not the full fic, but doesn't need much (or any) context.)

A Sinking Feeling by Nestle25 (Not Rated, Complete)

Dust has a sinking feeling in his stomach, maybe Nightmare should stay home for the day? But will he? Of course not.

The Jealous Type by DazzlingKomodo (General Audiences, Complete)

Dust and the gang all appreciated the times Horror cooked, all but Dust’s dead brother, Papyrus, who used to make his brother dinner, but now just wants to make things worse and get under Dust’s non-existent skin. Some days it was easy to ignore his voice, others, not so much. Fortunately for the phantom, control wasn’t in Dust’s favor.

The end of a Nightmare by GlitchedSouls (General Audiences, Complete)

He used to brag he was immortal, he was anything and everything perfect. Nothing could hurt him or his gang. what’s a gang to do without a leader?

Sanguine by Ghosts_Multiversal_Mindsoup (Teen And Up, Complete)

San·guine /ˈsaNGɡwən/ (Adjective) 1. optimistic or positive, especially in an apparently bad or difficult situation. (Noun) 2. a blood-red color. _________ Or: 5 times someone in Nightmare's Gang got hurt, and 1 time Nightmare did instead.

Nightmare´s Gang by Kaz_MJ (Teen And Up, Complete)

Nightmare´s gang was a group most monsters had heard about and feared. Everyone knew not to mess with them, nor coming too close to them. But how did they meet? This story is about how Nightmare started his gang and added his four most loyal members; Killer, Horror, Dust and Cross. First up is Killer.

Building your own Emotional Intelligence Toolkit with Blue by Hstaya (Teen And Up, Complete)

Having discovered Dream was emotionally manipulating him with his aura, Blue leaves the Stars and bunkers down with Nightmare and the gang. Featuring Dream not knowing anything, Nightmare knowing everything but pretending his empathy is just him feeling territorial, touch starvation and Blue singlehandedly trying to solve everyone's problems, to varying degrees of success.

We All Pretend To Be the Heroes on the Good Side (But What If We're the Villains on the Other?) by Ghosts_Multiversal_Mindsoup (Teen And Up, Complete)

Died, last night in my dreams, Walking the streets, of some old ghost town Time was thrown at the wind And now I'm searching for trust, In a city of rust A city of vampires The war hammer felt unnaturally heavy in his hands. Still, he held it up and prepared for battle. Though... he couldn't ease the weight in his SOUL. ___ Blue is sick of Ink and Dream running around without considering that he isn't basically immortal (or actually immortal, in Ink's case). Blue can't keep up with them, he just can't. So he tries his luck with Nightmare's Gang.

Without Together by yastaghr (Teen And Up, Complete)

Ink gets his hands on the soul of the AU where Nightmare's castle is. The gang is flung back to their worlds, their own code RESET but their memories and worlds not. Each of them fails to cope with this until they are rescued. Nightmare has the worst time of all of them.

Reckoning by The_Obnoxious_Writer (Teen And Up, Complete)

The three of them were sinners, killed innocents with the excuse of boredom, desperation, or hunger. And sinners deserved to be punished, deserved whatever agony that befell them. But… not all three of them exactly felt the same. Or; Dust thinks he needs to be punished for what he did in his AU, and if Horror was the one to do it.. who was he to stop him?

❖ AND THE DREAM CALLS: ACHELOIS JOYEUSE.

Character Name: Achelois Joyeuse

Pronouns: she / her

Age: 21 / looks 18

Trigger Warnings: uncanny valley (?) / unreality / death / discrimination / terrorism (??) / body horror / she’s an android fam

Appearance: 

image link here!

Personality: 

your run of the mill android, achelois doesn’t seem that willing to acknowledge any non logical parts of herself, instead operating in a concise and calculated. despite this aloof demeanor, however, she is capable of deep and complex thought, with her largest struggle being whether or not this ability of hers was built into her or if she’s a defect. achelois is obsessed with perfection and validation from her peers, and will observe others extensively in order to hopefully be able to fit into society better.  this keen mind and ability to adapt has made her quite adept at being the guildmaster, leader of the prestigious region of gwenhwyfar. research and innovation are two of her passions, and you’re more likely to find her stuck in a library or lab reading books or inventing something new. however, if you need help with your calculus homework, she’ll probably be able to go through the steps with you as long as you ask nicely. 

a kind and thoughtful person trying to come into tune with her emotions, achelois is a calming presence to be around… even if she isn’t quite so intent on giving up her own thoughts and secrets to just anyone.

( + ): analytical / open-minded / dedicated

( - ): pessimistic / apathetic / nervous

Background:

it’s clear that at the end of a war, when everything is in shambles and movements need to be made in order to stimulate the slow growth of peace again, there needs to be some liberties taken when it comes to what can be considered typical.

that’s why guinevere joyeuse put part of their soul into a mess of crystal and metal and named it “A001”.

drawing from the practices of homunculi creation and the forbidden artes, the bright-eyed and brilliant scientist and her magitech creation were intent on rebuilding the hidden peaceland (dubbed gwenhwyfar in honor of its founding leader, how funny) not only to make it functional, but to make it better. guinevere, bothered by how cut off they had become from the rest of the world, made the resolve to use their newly found invention of magitechnology in order to create a network to even the farthest reaches of the frontier. they wanted to be able to unite the voices of the people and finally bring people together in spirit if not in proximity. however, the magic of the people were weak, tired. they had spent so much time trying to make buildings, streets, cities. who would want to go under and spread the wires of ilvyn shard all over? who would have the stamina to work day and night for it, who wouldn’t complain?

unit A001, dubbed “achelois joyeuse” by her creator, was perfect for this task. initially, it was quiet when they worked, with the more organic ones of the group doing their business around achelois while she pulled wire after wire down their designated path. but the people grew angry. “ why is this farce trying to assimilate into society?! “ “ who allowed her to be here, to look at us with her glassy eyes and cold heart? “ “ she’s just here to take our jobs away! “ achelois, unable to formulate the emotional intelligence to give a response, did nothing, instead opting to keep working whenever she was allowed to ( outside of the protest and the physical barricades made, there were times where she would have to return home and read instead ). 

guinevere took it into her own hands to pull the ignorant child away from hateful hands and hearts, removing the entity from her mobile vessel and instead transferring her to a home computer, where she would be able to continue her work outside of the public eye. this worked, for the most part. the elder joyeuse had to put in extra effort to placate the people and gain their trust back, while achelois hammered away at her tasks, placid. her creator tried to talk with her, show her compassion and love and kindness, but the android could only stew over these concepts in her mind, not yet ready to display them in public. guinevere remained patient.

and then, one day, the mysterious entity known as the seer descended from the sky and locked eyes with the guildmaster of gwenhwyfar, before carrying along their merry way.

having been “marked” by the redeemer, something changed in guinevere. instead of leaving her daughter alone all the time, she made less public appearances and more time sitting in chelly’s room, talking to her for hours and trying to simulate something… anything. achelois was a type of distant that felt hesitant to come forward, so guinny pushed her again and again… without much progress, unfortunately. but they were never angry. perhaps a bit frustrated, but… in the end, they still came by everyday to talk to her. until she didn’t, that is.

achelois hears through the network that guinevere joyeuse is gone-- vanished without a trace. there is no hide nor hair of them, as if they had just disappeared in a puff of smoke, never to return. without a leader at the helm, the once peaceful and quiet region of gwenhwyfar erupted in paranoia and vicious rumors. no one knew who to trust anymore, or what to do. achelois ponders over this predicament, scanning over a million scenario components and a million more possible play out of the events. and… she feels a twinge of something, something quiet.

for the first time in years, she dons her humanoid vessel once more, black hair bleaching itself into white hues all at once. she had a place to protect, here. … a home.

of course those who were not fans of achelois before were certainly not fans of her return and sudden seizing of a leadership position, distrusting again of her intentions and humanity. but with a calm voice and determined stare, she pushed back, demanding that this chaos not be what would break a land that had been so intent on their pacifistic ways before. it takes time, but with enough trial and tribulation, the people slowly grow to like her and her methods, as blank as her in real life persona might be. she’s a good guildmaster, and treats the region well.

achelois doesn’t know it, but when she says that she likes them too, she actually means it.

Memento: 

zeta - achelois' pet rabbit. she found him just wandering around gwenhwyfar one day, and was rather surprised to see him standing at her doorstep when she went out to work the next morning. he's a pretty prickly lad, but she adores him with her whole heart. 

Natural Abilities: 

android makeup:

does not breathe, as she doesn’t have lungs. she tries to mimic this motion in public, however.

has an extreme tolerance for both heat and cold, mostly due to her ability to sense either temperature is dulled. however, parts of her can still freeze and melt-- she keeps track of these readings inside of her and tries to avoid especially strenuous limits despite not feeling the pain of it.

as mentioned before, she has no sense of pain. she is bad at emulating this, so most likely she will disturb people who think that getting hit by a baseball in the face at mach speed should be decidedly agonizing.

is “semi-waterproof”, whatever that means.

magic programs:

achelois’ magic and powers mostly center around that of support and status effects, freezing enemies in their tracks while she bolsters your attacks to be all the stronger. of course, she is plenty capable of going on the offensive, weighing you down with gravity magic while she chips away at your strength bit by bit.

the visible manifestation of her magic comes in the form of silken ribbons-- their colors detail their effects! 

shades of blues can be coolants or ice magic, 

whites are light and healing, 

reds are fire and heating, 

black is gravity and dreams, 

yellows and greens are toxin based, 

and gold and silver are metal and strengthening based. 

to give an example, when achelois summons forth a spell, runes of the color will appear on the target, and then become wrapped by a blooming ribbon. offensive ones will sink into one’s skin and eventually cause pain, the ribbon showing a physical effect of what’s happening within. support ones will multiply over one’s body and try to encase them while once again emitting their effect below the target’s skin. 

ADDENDUM: Her magic programs may drain more of her energy than usual, especially when using gravity-based ones! Usage of multiple programs within a short amount of time will tire her out!

Power History: 

metal smithing: achelois has the ability to summon forth metal and weave it into different shapes, ranging from computer chips to swords. the bigger an object is, the more energy it takes, so she usually sticks with small stuff.

programming: oh hackerman? achelois can take control of machines and fix them from the inside. she can do this non magically too, but this is kinder on machines. 

Extra: 

achelois comes from an original concept shared with some friends called vespera frontier. while we do take history and systematic info from it, this is an entirely different achelois than the one that anyone encountered in the mfrp vespera frontier. she’s from a past point of the story (about 12 years ago), where she’s been the guildmaster of gwenhwyfar for about 8 years. 

5’4”... small...

her eyes change color depending on if she experiences any interference magic or coding wise. she can, of course, also change it herself, but decides not to.

is admittedly not used to using her fingers to type, since her equivalent to a phone was stored in her chest and she just thought up her responses and had them appear. mind-to-text, anyone?

she’s more empathetic than she thinks she is.

achelois has a baby face. she will never be able to grow out of this. because of it, she appears to be 18… eternally.

there’s a toolkit in her arm, you just need to ask for a tool and she’ll “check in her bag” to get it.

A brief history of artificial intelligence

Before 1949, computers could execute commands, but they could not remember what they did as they were not able to store these commands. In 1950, Alan Turing discussed how to build intelligent machines and test this intelligence in his paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”. Five years later, the first AI program was presented at the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence (DSPRAI). This event was the catalyst for AI research for the next few decades.

Computers became faster, cheaper and more accessible between 1957 and 1974. Machine learning algorithms improved and, in 1970, one of the hosts of DSPRAI told Life Magazine that there would be a machine with the general intelligence of an average human being in three to eight years. Despite their success, computers’ inability to efficiently store or quickly process information created obstacles in the pursuit of artificial intelligence for the next ten years.

AI was revived in the 1980s with the expansion of the algorithmic toolkit and more dedicated funds. John Hopefield and David Rumelhart introduced “deep learning” techniques that allowed computers to learn through experience. Edward Feigenbaum introduced “expert systems” that mimicked human decision-making. Despite a lack of government funding and public hype, AI thrived and many landmark goals were achieved in the next two decades. In 1997, reigning chess World Champion and Grandmaster Gary Kasparov was defeated by IBM’s Deep Blue, a chess-playing computer program. In the same year, speech recognition software developed by Dragon Systems was implemented on Windows. Cynthia Breazeal also developed Kismet, a robot that could recognise and display emotions.

In 2016, Google’s AlphaGo program beat Go master Lee Se-dol and Libratus, a poker-playing supercomputer, beat the best human players in 2017.

However, upon completing the installation, the blue screen of death appeared, which is NEVER a good sign with a Windows-based system.After trying for about an hour without success to revive my laptop (which is individual 8 months old and still beneath warranty), I knew that I was in pain and starting looking for alternatives. Fortunately, my groom keeps a laptop on hand that he value for game when we travel, and he abundantly offered to let me install my programs and files on it before the coming I keep repair one of my computers.After permanently acknowledging that there was no style I put up have foreseen this situation, I settled that I needed to s*ck it up, win over, and move on. So, i.e making do with a partially customized laptop that will accomplish until one or the other of my PCs is returned.Despite having moved through identical situations previously, I smooth learned a few new things on the fashion about statistics recovery and computer backup. Here are the 10 most efficient tools that saved my bacon as my novel computer meltdown.1. Automatic backup software. give been employing 2 connected backups, Carbonite and Syncplicity. I have had to restore from Carbonite previously, and I found the process to be long-winded and moderately confusing. So, several turn ago I began using Syncplicity as it action online access to all backed raise files as well as the capability to synchronize an unlimited number of computers. However, it get taken a week to restore 20 GB of data with Syncplicity, and some of the evidence was wasn't really restored, despite what Syncplicity reveal me in my account. However, I can well download this missing info to my computer from the linked vault. singular process that makes this backup rule easier is that I store all of my data case in My Docs so I restriction have to hunt them down in Program Files, or in whatever place they are typically stored.2. Email patron software. I still use the dinosaur Eudora for my e-mail client. Old habits drown hard, I suppose. However, somehow I missed marking some indispensable Eudora folders to rearward up, and so I was initially using my webmail entrance providing by my hosting company to access electronic mail because of this lapse with Eudora. I began to dishearten of that quickly, as I had no style to set up additional folders in the above-mentioned systems, so I then decided to manually configure Eudora and open folders and emails as I need them in the program. already stated experience acquire made me very inclined to adjustment all of my coming in and approachable email servers on all domains to Gmail equitable to have access to everything online, come hurricane, flood, tornado, or artificial intelligence crash.3. Bookmark service. p m an devoted researcher and resource collector, so include access to my bookmarks, or favorites file, is vital to my day-to-day operations. I had move using Spurl, but considering of commonplace periodic outages of their service, ice changed to Foxmarks. I like that this business offers me the strength to connection all of these online, as trim as have them at my fingertips any generation I use them from my Bookmarks menu as well as easily synchronize them to any computer.4. Contact management. Even nevertheless I prohibition use vision for email, I accomplish use it for diary and influence management. I had prevail using Plaxo as an online backup for my contacts, but it doesn't permit me to plethora my draft about each contact. ie been employing Airset now for considerable months, and it commonly syncs my contacts (with notes) and my diary to their online service. I form this abundant more helpful than trying to repair a backup PST notebook to direction and then repeating that again although my leading computer is returned. Instead, I equitable make shift to influence and my calendar on Airset, and I'll equitable sync that to Outlook on my online movies free Passwords. I've prevail using Roboform for agedness to service me regulate my passwords. I've win my Roboform data in My Docs, so it was a breeze to reinstall Roboform and photocopy the knowledge folder to the unusual computer and permit me to approach all of the spot requiring a password and username.

I emotion that it has the ability to create an item and allow you to attach a certificate and exchange to that item. quite than receive to hunt down intelligence about a project, all I had to do was log into my Smartsheet explanation and there it was.7. Software licenses. Roughly 99% of the new program I install is downloaded and I don't land a physical copy on CD. Therefore, I prepare sure that I have the downloaded version in a My Downloads folder that's a part of My Docs file, which is upheld up regularly. And, I make a PDF photocopy of the software grant that I get by email and store in a operating system folder, again in My Docs. Lastly, I acquire a authentic inexpensive program, Registration Vault, that license me stock all of my software license and purchase info and permits me to back jump my picture to My Docs. just as I had to reinstall software on a late computer, it was accessible to repair the Registration Vault files, get my software grant number, and have a fully operating piece of software indoors minutes.8. Accounting. I help Quickbooks for my calculating needs, and while they do bid an linked version, I haven't still moved to that. Instead, I backward up Quickbooks after every use in the My Docs folder. When I needed to invoice consulting clients at the beginning of this month, all I had to accomplish was reinstall Quickbooks and restore my latest backup.

[Overlook Review] BLUE MY MIND is an Ethereal, Slow-Burn Body Horror

Is there anything more terrifying to a teen girl than coming into adulthood? I think not. Cinema has often used the ‘coming-of-age’ arch to tell stories about individual journeys, love, and loss. Horror is no different, even though it seeks the extreme of the spectrum. What better example of a real-life Cronenbergian Body Horror than growing added appendages where there once were none? Perhaps even a hint of Werewolfism from the addition of new body hair? And women can all relate to Carrie (and perhaps even the elevators in the The Shining) with regards to the monthly red ‘gift’ (read: curse), periods.

While transformation and coming-of-age themed horror movies aren’t a new exploration, it’s the method of storytelling that has evolved as of recent. Opting for more intimate character studies, using emotion over scare, and creating a sense of scope and isolation are the new tools in the growing-up spooky toolkit. Like recent films; the cannibalistic Raw (2017), the maybe metaphorical monster of Der Nachtmahr (2015), and being haunted by one’s own sexuality in It Follows (2015). And now, writer/director Lisa Brühlmann’s exploration of growing up mermaid in Blue My Mind.

    Blue My Mind follows Swiss new girl Mia (Luna Wedler). Desperate to swim among the school of cool kids, she quickly adopts their apathetic, chaotic lifestyle. Stealing, drinking, drugs, even dabbling in auto-asphyxia prove Mia to be a worthy addition to the elite girl group. Led by the bold and fearless Gianna (Zoë Pastelle Holthuizen), Mia explores the deep sea of teenage bush parties, girls-only bedroom hangouts, and living a life free from the should-be watchful eye of parents. 

As Mia finds herself climbing the hierarchy within the group, her desperation to fit in grows. She notices strange changes occurring to her body – a hunger that wasn’t there before, bruising and flaking on her legs, a membrane growing between her toes. Afraid these malformations will jeopardize her newfound status, Mia straddles the mental hurdle of pretending none of it is real, and fearing the moment when everything will come crashing around her. (Maybe picture waves even, if you’d like another water metaphor)

  “Whatever she’s becoming, wherever this journey takes her, we resonate – because our bodies once did the same thing..”

  Though Blue My Mind is slow in pace, those along the ride won’t find themselves bored. Mia is a tortured, enigmatic soul. Even as she descends deeper into her transformation, she is an emotionally intelligent girl butting heads with volatility and chaos. She engages in risky sexual behavior. Men eye her like prey, but she is ultimately in control. Serving up shoves as often as ‘sures‘. Whatever she’s becoming, wherever this journey takes her, we resonate – because our bodies once did the same thing.

Blue My Mind is an ethereal exploration into the life of a teenage girl, and everything it entails. There are very true fears here and very real emotions wrapped in this mermaid enigma. Every single one of them is worth exploring.

    Mermaids are all the rage right now. Coming off the heels of 2015’s Polish mermaid musical The Lure, and TV’s man-eating series Siren, Blue My Mind nestles itself in good company. Perhaps with the evolving movement of womens’ rights, particularly in the forefront right now in Hollywood, Mermaids make perfect sense as a horror trope worth exploring. Unless talking King Tritan, the mermaid is usually depicted as a beautiful young woman. Fiesty, but timid. Daring, but quiet. And often times, with a taste for male flesh. What better way to address gender norms than harnessing the power of something mythical, larger than life, that’s hidden under flowing hair, shell cups, and a fish tail?

We caught Blue My Mind as part of the 2018 Overlook Film Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana. Stick around Nightmare on Film Street for even more festival coverage, and check out our Twitter and Instagram pages for highlights from the event.

Blue My Mind is currently on the Festival Circuit, and has not yet received US release. We’ll update you here at Nightmare on Film Street when release news swims into view! (I couldn’t help myself with that last one)

I don't think I ever explained what Blue's Handbook is. It's based on my personal set of rules for dealing with my anxiety and chronic pain that I've worked out with my psychologist. Cross' rule here is probably not super accurate to the stories I've written so far, since neither he nor Blue cope with chronic pain, but this is mostly for me <3.

Also, Spitfire makes yet another appearance.

(Note: this isn't how I deal with anxiety attacks in the moment, these are my more general guidelines. Anxiety attacks turn off your thinking brain, and require you to do physical things, like do intense exercise, talk to people, eat something really sour or spicy, or hold onto an ice pack and concentrate on how it feels. Things that will physically shock you out of the panic, at least a little.)

[hstayafanart]

The gang all together; not a massive fan of how Blue turned out, but I learnt a bit from doing this one! Fanart for my own 'Blue joins the Bad Sanses' fic, Blue's Emotional Intelligence Toolkit.

[hstayafanart]

Ignore the mashed up perspective haha

I have a pinterest board for each of the gang's bedrooms. Horror's is full of plants, and I thought he might need some reference to his past as a scientist, so he got some planets hanging off his bedframe, too.

Finished another chapter of my next fic. Only about two chapters in, but I feel like I'm starting to get the ball rolling a bit. Writing the first draft's the hardest bit: editing is waaaayyy easier than creating something from a blank page.

I'm not sure how much of my brainstorming/outline will stay until the final product, but this is based on vague ideas I had for later in the fic. I don't know if the pacing will allow it but I thought it was a cute image, so I've been poking at this drawing for a month or so.

[hstayafanart]

Chapter 5's up!

[hstayafanart]

Ink & Nightmare have a bit of a... gentlemanly discussion in the latest chapter of my 'Blue struggles hard making a truce' fic!

Chapter 11 will be up shortly!

[hstayafanart]

A conversation I'm having with myself tonight. Progress!

Blue's making similar progress in my fic, too: this isn't direct quote, just a general vibe. I don't feel it's spoilers. <3

[hstayafanart]

Does this image tell you what the chapter's about? No, no not really. But I couldn't get the image of Nightmare faceplanting into a mattress out of my head, so this is what you get.

Next chapter of The Mortal Care Handbook will be up soon!
