Arstron

Image accessed from the Ultraman Wiki here

[Return of Ultraman is the third Ultraman series, the fourth in the Ultra series altogether, and the first that establishes any sort of continuity between one-off cameos. If the original Ultraman is the toku version of Green Lantern (space cop gives power to human fighter pilot), Ultraman Jack is the toku Spider-man before the actual toku Spider-Man. Hideki Go is thrilled to get powers and rapidly goes too far with them, and has to learn that with great power comes great responsibility. Plus, the series has as much of a focus on his home life as it does on his monster-fighting antics, and Ultraman Jack often loses fights and has to regroup and rethink his approach before winning.

Arstron here (referred to as Earthtron in English before Tsubaraya made official Romanizations for their many many kaiju) was the first kaijur that Ultraman Jack fought, and it's one of his most iconic opponents. Arstron has reappeared in multiple Ultra Series, has a lot of toys, and even appears in the opening credits of the next series, Ultraman Ace. Not bad for most transparent Godzilla knockoff of the franchise not actually made from an old Godzilla costume.]

Arstron CR 21 CN Magical Beast This creature resembles an oversized, slightly humanoid dinosaur, its arms short and legs massive. Rows of low plates grow along its spine, and it has a huge crescent horn growing from its forehead.

An arstron is an enormous burrowing predator that superficially resembles a theropod dinosaur. They spend most of their lives underground, hunting other large subterranean creatures like purple worms and supplementing their diet with organic minerals like coal and oil. Arstrons are territorial and belligerent, and the movement of dragons, kaiju or other enormous and powerful monsters through their territories may provoke them to go on violent rampages. Arstrons enjoy combat, and their rare interactions with other members of their species are typically sparring matches.

Arstrons care little for stealth, and they are pursuit hunters rather than ambush predators. Their burrowing is often felt in the form of small tremors before the monsters emerge to the surface. Arstrons prefer to use their breath weapons and spit fireballs in order to hunt—animals, monsters and humanoids killed by the flames are eaten carbonized, and arstrons typically char their food before consuming it. They use their teeth, claws, tails and scything horn primarily when fighting an enemy that is fire resistant and/or large enough to fight back. An arstron can launch itself into a frenzy similar to a barbarian’s rage, and if anything survives that onslaught, the arstron is likely to burrow back below ground and try to flee.

Arstron               CR 21 XP 409,600 CN Colossal magical beast (earth) Init +5; Senses darkvision 120 ft., light sensitivity, low-light vision, Perception +27, tremorsense 120 ft.

Ecology Environment any mountains or hills and underground Organization solitary or pair Treasure incidental

Special Attacks Bolide Blast (Su) As a standard action, an arstron can spit a fireball to a range of 500 feet. When it reaches its intended destination, the fireball explodes in a 40 foot radius, dealing 16d6 points of fire damage (Reflex DC 33 halves). An arstron can use this ability at will. Frenzy (Ex) An arstron can enter a state of frenzy as a swift action on its turn, gaining a +2 bonus to attack and melee damage rolls, a +2 bonus to Will saves, 2 temporary hit points per HD (64 for a typical specimen) and a -2 penalty to Armor Class. An arstron’s frenzy lasts for 1 minute, whereupon it is fatigued for 10 minutes. An arstron can enter a frenzy at will, but cannot do so when fatigued or exhausted. Maximize Breath Weapon (Ex) By spending a full round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, an arstron can deal maximum damage with its breath weapon. When it does so, the recharge for its breath weapon defaults to 4 rounds. Shake It Off (Ex) Whenever an arstron fails a saving throw against a paralyzing, petrifaction, polymorph or immobilizing effect (including binding and temporal stasis, but not imprisonment), it can attempt a new saving throw at the end of its turn to remove the effect. Doing so takes no action. An arstron can attempt a new save to end the effect as often as it wishes, but can attempt to remove only one such effect per round.

27, 30, 32 for the ask game !

HI THERE 27) What's your favorite book? Or just one you've read a few times? PLEASE DEAR GOD READ IN OTHER LANDS BY SARAH REESE BRENNAN. It's a story about a bisexual disaster of a boy who goes to magic school but the trope is subverted BEAUTIFULLY. The main character is an asshole and I love him, he's also a pacifist in a world where kids grow up studying how to go to war. It's delightfully queer, and the prose is so hilarious. I love it sm. I think I should reread it actually. Hmm. 30) What are you looking forward to in the near future? Next weekend I have my first hotel con since February with my gf and friend and I'm SUPER EXCITED!!!!! In fact I lowkey wish it was already next Friday but also my costumes arent done so RIP 32)If you could go anywhere right now, where would you go? Japan but only if I was given approximately 30,000 dollars first

CoX: Cold Read

This is an explanatory writeup of one of my Original Characters (OCs). Nothing here is necessarily related to a meaningful fiction you should recognise and is shared because I think my OCs are cool and it’s cool to talk about OCs you make.

Just how many chances do you get at living your own life?

Cold Read went from a conman’s aid to a ward of the state to a Priori posterboy to a Longbow operative to finally, finally, an expatriate of Earth, all before he turned twenty-one. There’s a lot you miss when your life is a political football, and Read – ‘Reed’ on the birth certificate – hasn’t had a good take at it.

So now the lilting lying conman mutant is trying his hardest con yet: That he’s worth keeping around, and life is worth living. The mark? Himself.

Cold Read is a technically-a-hero from Paragon City, where he primarily works in environments where people have lived a long time. Known mostly as a ‘Dark’ character, his powers visibly present as trailing lines of black smoke around his fingers, his enemies and the world around him, a sort of suffusing fog. While there’s some degree of ‘combat’ ability to his powers, people who fight him usually describe it as a kind of exhaustion, of being worn down, confused and disoriented until they finally collapse, choking on the fog and black tentacles that follow him.

A just-under-average height man with red-brown hair, the Irish accent of someone born in Ireland, raised in the United States, and absolutely playing up his accent to get attention from people he considers rubes, Read specialises in looking like he’s harmless; where other heroes use a physical identity to set themselves apart, he explicitly tries to look like an ordinary civilian and even has infiltrated events as a hostage. It’s his ability to dupe people and play with perceptions – beyond his powers – that make him helpful to protecting people.

Cold Read has experience as a confidence trickster and stage magician. These skills play into how he approaches problems, knowing what things are and aren’t important to his opponents and also the best ways to play on people’s uncertainty.

His powers being so focused on people and how they feel is what makes him so comfortable operating in city environments. No matter how hard he blasts it, he can’t use his poisonous emotional effects to break windows or damage support beams, meaning that he doesn’t have the same kind of risks of collateral damage. As a teammate, he’s friendly and charming and more often than not, risks forgetting about you the second you’re not important to him. What makes this even more damning is that when he’s then called upon to be charming again, he can remember you – which means the forgetfulness is, itself, an act.

Oh and he may technically be a reformed child soldier working for a terrorist organisation, that point is uncertain.

Build

Read’s build is a little complicated to describe, because it’s a file from an earlier version of the game, found in a folder, along with some costumes. Normally, my builds integrate things like level 50 materials and the Incarnate system, and this is not a character who ever got to swim in those waters. What I can tell you about the build based on the information I have imported into the new readers is that he would have:

45% ranged defense

45% smashing and lethal defense

53% energy defense, which is 8 points of overkill

115% global recharge, which makes Hasten Permanent, which also makes Dark Servant permanent

Why I have this information though is notable, because I have the information that’s from records saved when I preserved his build because this build was capable of soloing a Pylon. For those unaware, this is like a world boss that’s designed for 32 people to kill together. They’re pretty unique as damage tests because they will absolutely kill a player in one or two hits very easily, which means surviving them is often a matter of never getting hit and recovering fully quickly.

Cold Read, a defender, solo’d pylons as a stress test.

I think that’s pretty cool.

History

Phew, well, this is an interesting but fairly deep personal cut, which is to say, Read owes his origin to the roleplay group known as Nation. And man, has a lot of stuff changed around that. The original conception of Nation was a high-concept supervillain group, which positioned itself as being above the hero-villain paradigm, modelled after the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Yes, I know Evil is right there in the name.

The idea, made by the players with the tools we had at the time, was that Nation was an idealistic group of mutants trying to create a unique living space, and then used the tools the game gave us to do our best to both make a faction that could care about and argue within themselves, but was also giving us a chance to use villainous archetypes (at the time, being region-locked), to play heroic characters and tell stories within the confines of Villain content as being morally good characters, while also considering the complexity of a group that probably was at least 50% bastards.

I wrote a lot of lore for Nation and part of what I wound up tabling was the idea of subfactions in the group; people who were doing international combat scenarios, intervening in other government spaces to ‘rescue’ Mutant children, that kinda thing. I also suggested that as a ‘legitimate’ faction, they would maintain a Hero side group, where the hook was that it was for grubby, dark and kinda villainous loser heroes who were more important for how they could be controlled as a public relation tool than any kind of support for the good they did in Paragon.

This was the canvas I had to work on, the space I was building in, when I made Cold Read. He had a good story that Americans love; he was Irish, so he had that accent, and he had a backstory about being ‘branded’ by Longbow to keep track of him with his superpowers. Now, I honestly think that’s pretty silly now — but there’s nothing that’s not got a bit of regret in this characters’ story, ruefully written. The core of what he is – a resentful hero-by-default who has a hard time building trust with strangers, and who treats heroism like a performative magic trick – I like a lot, but the way he got there is pretty rough and has a lot of hallmarks of some truly thoughtless nonsense I chose as a roleplayer. Even just now I’m already negotiating with the backstory — if they put a tattoo on Cold Read to track where he was, then that is a sign that he was probably already being incredibly recalcitrant to responding to things like regular court summons or tracks. It’s clearly a unique solution negotiated with an individual and Longbow wouldn’t do it because it’s terrible optics, so it’s probably done by one rich idiot with – oh yeah, probably Manticore.

Anyway.

Nation wound up going really sour, and I left it behind, pulling all my characters out but I liked the vibes and appearances. That meant that Cold Read hung around, saved in a folder somewhere, and when we got Homecoming, I had him again. Costume files, build files, and a tracker indicating how this build I’d afforded could do all this cool stuff, and a plan to one day try and solo the Imperius Task Force with him when he had incarnate stuff. That meant reflecting on him as a liar, a thief, a scoundrel and a manipulator, who spends his time pretending to be a hero, well enough that he can fool himself.

I like that.

I like that he has to con himself and I get to consider him more wholly, and as a better writer than when I was much younger.

She escaped, thankfully, and became a hero.  She's been through many tough trials, she has the heart of a hero, and a smart mouth.  She lives with her dad (her mom died when she was young), and is somewhat smothered by him, but she likes it.  But don't tell him that.

She enrolled in the Avengers Initiative program in 2005 but has been active as a hero since 2003.  She is one of the last known Shocker Kaijin to have been created, and the last known one to rebel against their tyranny. She has since trained in magic and had a hand in dealing with the aftershocks of "The Crisis".

warnings: swearing, comic con, mention of smut at the end

”comic cons in town!” I said happily as I came into the cafeteria. Dan frowned at me and I smiled back at them. “So who’s going? Gurgs?” She shook her head. “Wyatt?”

“hell yes.” He said holding out his hand. I high fived him and turned towards Abbie.

“I know the rest of you aren’t going.” I said as Dan put a hand on my back, guiding me to sit on his thigh. He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me back against him. “And thank you for the night off Dan. I’ll have a lot of fun without you.” Dan rolled his eyes.

“good god. You’re one of them.” He groaned. “Honestly Wyatt that’s surprising. You come across as someone’s who’s had sex.” I laughed as Dan hugged me tightly to him. “And I know you’ve had sex darling.” Dan kissed the back of my head. I felt him tense up and he buried his head in my neck.

“don’t move.” Dan whispered. “Juliane is here. Get me out of here.” I raised an eyebrow and looked at Wyatt.

“sure. we can get you out of here.” I said. Wyatt smiled at me. “Just one thing. You’ll need to be in disguise.” Dan nodded against me.

“anything. Just get me the fuck out of here.” He whispered harshly. Wyatt and I looked at each other and smiled. Nodding, we got up and ushered Dan out of the cafeteria before Juliane noticed him. Wyatt got one of his friends to help with dans disguise and I walked him through it.

“so Klingons are…well basically you.” I said. Dan watched me and I saw a flash of annoyance in his eyes. “Grumpy. Annoyed at everyone and everything.” When Wyatt’s friend finished up, I smiled at him.

“So…” Dan said as he stood up. “How do I look?” I nodded.

“looking good Dan.” Wyatt smiled as he handed Dan a mirror. He frowned.

“You know from the right angle I wanna kick my own ass.” Dan muttered. I laughed.

“that means it works.” I said, patting his shoulder. “Now let’s get out of here before Juliane shows up.” Taking dans hand, the three of us headed out to our cars. “I’ll just need to change my shirt when I get there and we’ll be all set.” Dan looked over at me as I drove.

“Star Trek uniform?” He asked, slight disappointment in his voice. I nodded, glancing over at him.

“yeah.” I confirmed. “Everything ok? You seem really…i don’t know pissy about all this.” Dan sighed and looked out the window.

“this kind of stuff just isn’t my thing. And I know it is your thing. I just can’t quite wrap my head around it though.” He shrugged. “There just seems to be something slightly weird about all of it.”

“I get that.” I said. “Believe me first time I went to a con, I was nervous and confused and worried and whole bunch of other things. But I mean…” I paused and bit my lip. “You know how I am. You accept that. And that’s what I feel at cons. No ones judging anyone. Everyone’s just there to have a good time. Dress up. Meet some people. That kind of stuff.” Dan reached over and put his hand on my leg. "if you just want to sit and people watch, I get it. I'll run around with Wyatt for a bit and when he inevitably goes to get laid, I'll come find you and we can either leave or go to a panel or something."

"If it means that much to you, we can walk around." Dan said, rubbing my leg. "Besides, it would be a waste of the costume if I just sat in a corner the whole day." I laughed and looked over at him.

"Thank you." He smiled at me before turning to look out the window as we passed by the convention hall. Once we got in I changed. We took some pictures before Wyatt ran off to go see some panel while Dan and I opted to walk around the artist alley. "That one looks nice." I commented as I paused in front of one booth. Dan looked it over and nodded.

"It would look nice hanging by the bay window." He added. I looked at him and shook my head.

"I mean it is nice but not that nice. Besides, it would look slightly out of place." I shrugged. I went to walk away but stopped when I noticed Dan wasn't next to me anymore. My eyes went wide as I watched him hand the vendor his card. He looked over at me and smiled before taking back both his card and the art print. Walking over to me, he bent down to kiss my cheek.

"If you like it, then it will look perfect." he said. "Do not, ever, try to get away with saying it won't fit into our apartment. You do not have nearly enough stuff hanging on those walls and I will cover them all in art prints if it means it will make you smile at least once a day." I looked at Dan before nodding. Reaching up, I cupped his cheek and pulled him into a kiss.

"Thank you." I whispered. Dan nodded before looping his arm with mine and starting off again. By the time we met back up with Wyatt, Dan was carrying several bags. None of which he would let me hold.

"I think I'm going to spend some more time walking around. Trying to see some people." Wyatt said, eyes trailing after a few cosplayers. Dan raised an eyebrow before turning to me. I shook my head and rolled my eyes.

"Yeah. Well..." Dan paused before he smirked at me. My face fell and I put my hand on his arm to stop him. Dan turned to Wyatt and tilted his head. "Some of us have costumes that people think are cool. So..." He took my hand and lead me away. I turned to look back at Wyatt and gave him a sympathetic smile.

"Sorry!" I called back. "But some of us just want to fuck a Klingon!" The last look I got of Wyatt was him throwing his head back in laughter before Dan was pulling me towards our car.

California Living - Day 29

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/tbA7jgC by Masoena Sam went to Stanford and not long into being there Brady became his Dom, something his girlfriend Jess had no problems with as their sessions and scenes were entirely asexual. Two years on they are invited to a zentai costume party and Brady challenges him to wear a little extra underneath the innocuous nylon head-to-toe suit.

Gardacqua - Garda (VR): un'estate 2024 da vivere tra parco, piscine, Adventure Camp per bambini e ottimi piatti

Il grande parco estivo di 11mila mq di Gardacqua, centro benessere d'eccellenza a Garda (Verona) è finalmente aperto. Se i trattamenti di questa realtà sono ormai ben conosciuti, soprattutto d'estate i motivi per frequentarlo sono anche altri. A tutte le età.

Circondato da verdi colline, il parco di Gardacqua sarà aperto per tutta l'estate 2024 fino all'8 settembre. E' il posto giusto per regalarsi rilassanti bagni di sole, noleggiando lettini ed ombrelloni. All'interno del parco c'è poi una grande piscina, con uno scivolo in inox per i più piccoli e non solo. La vasca ha anche una parte dedicata a chi ha voglia di nuotare. 

E ancora: idromassaggi per il relax, vasca contro corrente e pure river, per il divertimento. A completare l'offerta "acqua", il parco di Gardacqua dispone anche di una zona bambini con scivoli, giochi d'acqua, e una vasca riscaldata a 32° con lettini idromassaggio e getti d'acqua. Non è tutto. Lo staff Gardacqua pensa anche a chi vuol muoversi e fare sport nel verde.  Per tutta l'estate continuano le nostre attività di acquafitness e pilates in acqua così conciliamo allenamento e tintarella.

Per i più piccoli, sono poi aperte le iscrizione agli Adventure Camp estivi di Gardacqua, aperti a bambini e ragazzi dai 3 ai 12 anni. Saranno impegnati in attività motorie, in acqua e a terra, progetti sostenibili come la cura dell'orto, attività creative e ricreative saranno in programma ogni giorno... A completare l'offerta il buon cibo cucinato dalle cucine di Gardacqua, che propongono ogni giorno menù bilanciati e sano, studiati dalla dietista del centro. Si parte dal 10 di giugno e si continua, dal lunedì al venerdì, con diverse modalità, fino al 6 settembre. I Camp si fermano solo per la settimana di Ferragosto, offrendo un servizio davvero importante alle famiglie in cui i genitori lavorano anche d'estate.

Qui tutti i dettagli: https://bit.ly/CampGardacqua

Tornando al buon cibo, il ristorante di Gardacqua è davvero invitante, soprattutto con la bella stagione. Si affaccia direttamente sul parco, offre angoli d'ombra freschi per gustare piatti semplici ma gustosi adatti per una giornata di sole e acqua. Il momento aperitivo è  inserito in un quadro naturalistico meraviglioso: al tramonto tutte la vallate e le colline si dipingono di rosso. E' la perfetta conclusione di una giornata di relax e divertimento.

Cos'è Gardacqua? 

Gardacqua, a Garda, sulla sponda veronese del lago, è sinonimo di tempo dedicato al benessere. La struttura, conosciuta per il suo approccio globale al wellness, è circondata da un verde parco con ulivi secolari. A livello archiettonico è caratterizzata da una elegante cupola di cristallo ed ospita una SPA di oltre 1700 MQ, grandi piscine interne ed esterne in cui rilassarsi oppure nuotare, beauty center in cui regalarsi trattamenti e massaggi d'ogni tipo, bar, ristoranti ed aree kids dedicate ai più piccoli.

Gli augfuss meister, i maestri di sauna di Gardacqua SPA, guidano gli ospiti nei loro momenti di relax. La struttura segue la filosofia della tradizione nordica: all'interno degli ambienti caldi non è consentito l'utilizzo del costume: ad alte temperature infatti alcuni tessuti possono rilasciare sostanze tossiche. Invece c'è l'obbligo di coprirsi nelle aree di passaggio tra un ambiente e l'altro. Al Welcome Desk sono disponibili teli, ciabatte e accappatoi, così che gli ospiti possano pensare solo a rilassarsi.

Gardacqua SPA è dotata di un'ampia Sauna Finlandese con cromoterapia (Temperatura: 80-90°C, umidità 5%). Qui calore, colori e profumi creano l'atmosfera indispensabile per un'esperienza di profondo benessere. La Bio Sauna (temperatura: 50-70°C; umidità: 40%), con il suo ambiente caldo e umido, è invece ideata per avvicinare alla sauna anche tutti coloro che soffrono le alte temperature. Il Bagno Salino (temperatura: 40-50°C, umidità: 80%) è poi un ambiente dal vapore salinizzato che grazie all'azione antibatterica delle particelle di sale è in grado di favorire l'igienizzazione delle vie respiratorie. Lo scrub salino, realizzato all'interno, leviga lo strato superficiale della pelle e riattiva la microcircolazione. 

Il Bagno Turco (temperatura 40-50°C; umidità: 95-100%) stimola i pori della pelle ad aprirsi ed induce la sudorazione, favorendo una profonda pulizia dell'epidermide attraverso l'eliminazione di tossine e impurità. Il Laconium (temperatura: 55-65°C; umidità: 20%) è invece un ambiente dedicato al riscaldamento graduale del corpo per un effetto di rilassamento totale. Il Percorso Kneipp di SPA Gardaqua, a Garda (VR), alterna acqua fredda e acqua calda, per stimolare la microcircolazione di gambe e piedi. La Cascata di Ghiaccio, invece, offre il raffreddamento più indicato dopo la permanenza negli ambienti caldi per ottenere il massimo dalla propria esperienza in sauna.

Non manca una grande zona Idromassaggio (temperatura: 33-35°), per un relax che stimola la circolazione e decontrae i muscoli. Tra un ambiente e l'altro, qualche momento di assoluto relax nell'accogliente e silenziosa Dream Room è poi l'ideale per una breve pausa. Ecco poi la grande Zona Relax, con vista sul prato privato della SPA: qui ci si riposa al caldo, con luce naturale, coccolati da un tiepido raggio di sole con vista sul prato privato della SPA. La struttura è dotata di un Solarium Naturista, un prato privato dove prendere il sole senza costume in mezzo al verde e alla natura.

5 Seconds of Summer’s Derp Con: Navigating A Pop-Punk Boy Band Fan Convention

(Maria Sherman, Billboard, 17 Nov 2014)

'For a band often chased around hotels and airports by ravenous fans — that's what happens when you open for One Direction, score a No. 1 album debut and become one of the breakout stars of the year…

Michael Clifford and Calum Hood of 5 Seconds of Summer perform onstage during the 5 Seconds of Summer tour held at The Forum on November 15, 2014 in Inglewood, California. Michael Tran/FilmMagic

Upon entering 5 Seconds of Summer‘s world, one must come prepared. You need the uniform of knee-high socks and punk rock t-shirts, the earplugs to muffle teen girls’ nearly volcanic wails. You need to let yourself become part of that community and accept the fact that everyone around you is having a ridiculously good time. There’s a high probability that you will, too.

The concept for the Australian pop-punk group’s Derp Con (named such as the 5SOS boys consider themselves awkward, always “derping” around) was lofty. Kids from all around the world would enter contests in their native country through radio and other media platforms, and if they won, they would be flown them out to Los Angeles, put up in a nice hotel and given passes to attend one of the band’s two headlining gigs at the famous Forum. In between: a promised day of debauchery at a mysterious location.

For a band often chased around hotels and airports by ravenous fans — that’s what happens when you open for One Direction, score a No. 1 album debut and become one of the breakout stars of the year as good-looking teenage boys — 5SOS managed to keep Derp Con a secluded event. Billboard and other attendees were told to meet in the lobby of the Andaz Hotel on Sunset Boulevard at 8:45 in the morning on Sunday (Nov. 16), where we’d hitch a ride to… well… somewhere. Below is a minute-by-minute recap of 5 Seconds of Summer’s enthralling fan convention:

8:45 AM – A series of hop-on, hop-off sightseeing buses pull up to the hotel. Apparently, we’ll be riding in style today.

9:00 AM – It takes a few minutes to get everyone on the bus, mostly due to the contest winners’ unrivaled enthusiasm — it’s like attempting to hurdle a group of squirrels. Each bus reflects a variety of countries, and apparently we’re the “Good Girls, Bad Girls” team representing the United States and Australia/New Zealand. I’m told there are 32 countries present and two or three people with each present contest winner, typically a chaperone and a friend.

9:03 AM – When the bus starts moving, it becomes evident that our tour guide was going to show us the 5 Seconds of Summer version of Los Angeles. “‘Pizza’ was performed at the House of Blues, one of 5SOS first shows,” he announces. A girl asks if it is the same venue as the one featured in the Lindsay Lohan version of Freaky Friday.  Spending an hour on the bus with this guy proved he didn’t really know how to handle teen girls, as he made quips like “You might be a little young for this, but have you ever heard of a musician called Sheryl Crow?” and “The only time L.A. is empty is now, on a Sunday morning. All the rock-and-rollers are sleeping off last night’s party.”

9:19 AM – The tour guide makes a James Dean joke. The girls do not know who James Dean is.

9:23 AM – The tour guide makes a Ketchup joke, referring to the dog toy the band had while recording their debut album. He wins them over again.

9:34 AM – The girls gasp and take pictures of a Panda Express. 5 Seconds of Summer loves Panda Express.

10:00 AM – We arrive at our destination: Paramount Pictures. The bus is too tall to fit through the studio’s iconic gate, so we’re forced to circle the grounds.

10:12 AM – As the bus continues taxiing, a group of girls start reworking the lyrics to “English Love Affair” to be about going to Los Angeles and meeting the 5SOS family. One girl, dressed in a fleece penguin costume in 80-degree heat, pulls out a ukelele and starts playing “She Looks So Perfect.” In the crew, there’s a gaggle of Pikachus, skunks, kimonos and kids in school uniforms, vis-a-vis the “Good Girls” music video. There are flags from all over the world being worn as capes. This is the Teen Girl Olympics.

11:12 AM – After a prolonged security wait, we finally enter Paramount, where there’s a red carpet and fake paparazzi cameras flashing around us. A few more steps and the place looks like Comic-Con: there’s a dude in a Spider-Man suit and a mariachi band covering “Don’t Stop.” There’s a DJ competing with him, spinning pop-punk and pop-rock jams from the early 00’s. Jet’s “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” is played more than once.

11:18 AM – The first destination is check-in, where each attendee is handed a map, a schedule and a fake Australian passport. There are six stations in total that the girls are designated to swing by. Little information is given out about each one. Inside, “Derp Rock City,” and various 5SOS-doctored classic rock posters litter the walls.

11:20 AM – Our first station is “Awkward Family Photos,” where the girls get the meet the band. This information isn’t told explicitly — just “Remain calm, one at the time.” The girls figure it out instantaneously and appear as if a fuse has been lit inside their souls.

11:30 AM – They seat us in a room with folding chairs, facing an exposed window. The girls are quiet and confused and then loud. The Australian girl slated to go first starts hyperventilating. Another girl starts crying because she can hear the boys’ muffled laughs in the background.

11:52 AM – They spot the boys in the distance, and explode. Those muffled laughs were just employees.

12:00 PM – Two girls and their mom filter into the room with the band. The mom is now feeding off their energy, shrieking and crying along with them. Luke Hemmings, the heartthrob of the band, tells them they smell nice. He might as well have just given them a million dollars.

12:03 PM – After the girls meet the band and get a photo, the mom comes up to me to tell me her daughter’s fifteenth birthday is in two weeks, and that her family cannot afford a quinceañera. Winning the contest, then, was a godsend. “You probably don’t have kids, but when you do, they become everything,” she starts. “When they’re sad, you’re sad. When they’re happy, you’re happy. I’m just a mom, an average joe. I could never provide this for her. And she’s happy.”

Seeing stuff from a 5sos perspective…. #DERPROCKCITY @5SOS November 16, 2014

12:18 PM – The next station is called “Virtual 5SOS,” where fans get to experience recording with the boys. A group of girls puts on virtual reality goggles and massive noise-canceling headphones to watch a short clip of the dudes rehearsing their song “End Up Here.” When they’re done, the girls turn around and see the same instruments the boys used in the segment. One girl cries, “My butt is where Ashton’s butt was!”

12:23 PM – The Ashton-butt girl declares that she wants to start a band.

12:28 PM – It’s Graffiti Wall time. Much like the ladies of the “Good Girls” video, here the kids get to experience the art of spray paint… virtually, of course. There are screens and can-snapped remotes to direct their hands, and when the attendees are done writing “Michael Marry Me,” they add 5SOS-themed emojis like tongues and logos. At one point I think a girl is trying to be particularly badass and write “hate,” but she was scripting “Haley.” That’s kind of the beauty of this place–it’s all positivity, all of the time. The strong emphasis on technology here really makes it feel like a convention.

Turkey or chicken #DERPROCKCITY @5SOS November 17, 2014

1:00 PM – Lunch break. I help myself to a “Don’t Stop the Derp” adult beverage. At one point, a guy in a Teen Mutant Ninja Turtles costume grabs a drink with me. The food options are pretty teen-friendly: there are two pizza stations, with toppings hand-selected by the boys, and a few of the pizzas have M&M’s, gummy bears and gummy worms on them. I try the vegemite one. It’s not terrible.

1:13 PM – A DJ starts entertaining us with even more 5SOS-picked jams like Foo Fighters’ “Hero” and Green Day’s “Jesus of Suburbia.” Meanwhile, girls are excitedly exchanging Instagram and Twitter handles with each other.

2:00 PM – We walk into a cool dark room with two vintage Capcom arcade games and 5SOS-themed Pac-Man game called “Hungry 5SOS.” A group of girls play on a large LED screen while a crowd watches below.

2:12 PM – The girl who wins “Hungry 5SOS” tells me that she gave guitarist Michael Clifford a Game Boy when she met them — specifically, a Game Boy Advance SP, which was released in 2003 and is now vintage. She represents the generation that entered Green Day’s music at American Idiot and made 5SOS superstars.

2:18 PM – The next station is “Da Green Screen,” where fans get to take props like comically oversized sunglasses and bassist Calum Hood’s signature sombrero and recreate some of their album covers. It’s a sweet idea, but the girls are mostly still discussing the fact that they met the band just two hours earlier.

Da green screen. #DERPROCKCITY @5SOS November 16, 2014

2:23 PM – We reach what should be our final destination constructed within the confines of the Paramount grounds, the “Hi Or Hey Record Store,” named after the band’s new label Hi Or Hey Records. Upon entering, the girls are handed an exclusive Derp Con EP signed by the band.

2:30 PM – At this point in the afternoon, everyone is exhausted and waiting around, wondering why we’re supposed to stay here until 5:00 PM.

4:00 PM – Another surprise! 5 Seconds of Summer take to a small outdoor stage within Paramount, performing hits like “Out of My Limit,” “Good Girls,” “Amnesia” and “She Looks So Perfect” acoustically for a special set before their Forum gig later that evening. Between the tracks, the boys answer questions written questions submitted by fans. Calum pulls out a card, begins cackling and says, “Is this from my mum? ‘What’s your mum’s favorite food?'” Out of a few hundred questions, the bassist apparently found his mom’s entry. It feels like a fitting metaphor for the band: they’re still kids, after all.'

44. Mangia molte fibre. Ti fan sentire piena e portano via il grasso dal tuo corpo quando andrai di corpo. La naturale pulizia dell’intestino aiuta sia il tuo livello di energia sia la tua sensazione di benessere.

45. Prima di precipitarti su quella torta, busta di patatine, caramelle, o quel che sia, fai un grosso respiro e conta fino a 100. Di solito prima ancora che sei arrivata a 100 avrai convinto te stessa che non ne hai veramente voglia.

46. Quando hai fame bevi velocemente 2 bicchieri (o quanti te ne servono) di acqua liscia. Ti sentirai così sazia e nauseabonda che avrai completamente perso l’appetito.

47. Il sedano brucia calorie. Ogni ora mangiane un gambo. Non solo ti sazierà ma contribuirà a velocizzare il tuo metabolismo.

48. Pesati sempre prima e dopo aver mangiato. Non solo eviterai di mangiare cose superflue ma ti verrà voglia di mangiare meno ogni volta che vedrai che i numeri sulla bilancia crescono.

49. Leggi sempre le tabelle nutrizionali. Ricorda senza grassi non vuol dire senza calorie. Inoltre tieni d’occhio la quantità di fibre che gli alimenti contengono. Mangia più fibre che puoi invece taglia calorie e grassi.

50. Non mangiare tanto e tutto insieme. Dividi il cibo durante il giorno. Questo ti aiuterà ad evitare le abbuffate e velocizzerà il tuo metabolismo.

51. Se ti piace bere alcolici,questa idea ti piacerà. Datti una regola:Puoi bere solo se perdi 1 chilo,quindi se perdi 2 chili a settimana puoi bere sia venerdì che sabato sera,se invece hai perso solo 1 chilo puoi bere solo una sera!

52. Non mangiare davanti alla televisione o al computer. Ti distrae dal senso di sazietà.

53. Salva i soldi che avresti dovuto spendere per un pasto in un barattolo. Oppure salva i soldi in una bottiglia trasparente e guarda ogni giorno i soldi che aumentano.

54. Stai alla larga dagli alimenti definiti “sicuri” come ad esempio gli snack della “pesoforma”. Dai un occhiata alla tabella alimentare e capirai il perché. Con le stesse calorie e carboidrati sarebbe la stessa cosa andare a mangiare un pezzo di una fottuta torta. Per non parlare dei prezzi ridicoli di questi alimenti “sicuri”… Salva i soldi e le calorie.

55. Invece di comprare del cibo, con gli stessi soldi comprati dei fiori. Il cibo è deprimente, i fiori ti renderanno felice.

56. Quando hai i crampi allo stomaco per la fame bevi un paio di bicchieri d’acqua con qualche fetta di limone e conta fino a 100…dovrebbero andare via.

57. Mangiare 100 calorie 4 volte al giorno è meglio che mangiare 400 calorie tutte insieme in un pasto.

58. Un abbuffata occasionale non ti farà male, soprattutto se hai smesso di perdere peso, il tuo corpo penserà che hai smesso di digiunare e perderai sicuramente mezzo chilo il giorno dopo! Ma non abbuffarti regolarmente!

59. Se ti fai un bagno in acqua ghiacciata per 15-30 minuti, la tua temperatura corporea si abbasserà e brucerai sulle 200 calorie per far salire di nuovo la tua temperatura corporea ad un livello normale.

Hi, I’m Alexandria Means, I’m 32, a single mom of a special needs child and I like to cosplay. I got into cosplaying about 5 years ago. My first costume was a Sylveon style dress made by Darling Army and I went and bought the ears and the tail. I didn’t think it was much, but when I went to my first con and people were so supportive, I couldn’t believe it. Here was this place where people could dress up to be anything they wanted and people were excited and supportive about it. The feeling was magical.

I did go by myself to my first con because I didn’t know anyone that cosplayed at the time. I was pretty socially awkward (I still am). I don’t remember exactly what someone said but it was something like “cute Sylveon” and it just made my day. I didn’t think my bought costume was anything special and I was definitely self-conscious about my body. I weighed a lot more back then. But with every positive comment, I felt more and more like I belonged.

I’ve always been a sort of creative person as it was my outlet. I have bipolar type 2 and I trend more toward the depressed side, so cosplay gave me this creative outlet to express myself. About two years before I wore that dress, one of my friends talked me into making a costume. I thought it was impossible. I was obsessed with Overwatch at the time and I remember seeing Stella Chuu’s Mercy Imp cosplay. I mentioned it to a friend of mine, and he said: “Do it, I have some friends that help you with the logistics if you get stuck.”. I thought “well, let’s do something different for the year,” so I took the first steps. I would say they are the first steps into madness, haha. I made Devil Mercy and put it on for Momocon and people loved it. More importantly, I found that I loved the process and it helped me through some very rough times.

Last year, I had an extremely rough breakup. The relationship itself was very unhealthy and I went into a very dark place. I was working on a cosplay at the time but I eventually settled on Feo Ul from Final Fantasy XIV, which was ultimately a really complicated project. I became obsessed with completing it because I told myself that when I finished, it would be the beginning of something new. And it was.

Feo Ul is my fifth made costume and it took me four-ish months to make. The wings took about three months and the overall total of hours that went into it clocks in well over 300.

The main part of the costume that almost everyone sees before me is made out of four different thicknesses of foam (10, 8, 6 and 4 mm, respectively). I did the pattern making for the wings myself with a little bit of trial and error and help from FFXIV cosplay discord that I frequent. The details were burned in and the paint was airbrushed on. I had a lot of trouble mounting it to a harness (much tears and rage were had) but I finally managed to get the end result after an entire days worth of work.

The whole setup is actually pretty light, it just makes getting through doorways and crowds quite difficult sometimes. The wig is actually an Arda Wig chibi that I had re-purposed from my Pink Mercy cosplay and dyed a light orange. The styling was honestly the hardest part aside from the wings but managed to create something passable. The wings are honestly still my favorite part about the costume and the thing I’m the proudest about in my cosplay career.

Over the course of four months I had created this crazy set of wings and had started healing in the process. And what’s crazy is that people loved it! That was so crazy for me. When I finished her, I was watching the feedback, and it was like people were seeing me for the first time. For me, each cosplay is a new beginning, a new way that I challenge and change myself, and a way for people to see the real me and the creative stuff that lives in my head. Cosplay honestly helped save me in a way.
