Now for the fun facts

Everyone that has a year of birth is actually a year younger than their profile says because the story happens during March and April, I think their birthdays were picked after the ages were set and probably it wasn't taken in consideration that it would make them younger than their profile says (if you take the year of birth in their timelines) for Marcille and Izutsumi it doesn't count much cause they actually have their birthdays at the end of the story. But honestly I wouldn't take that too seriously, I think the age in their profiles is the intended age they are and the birthdays were probably an afterthought that wasn't considered when setting their ages for the story (So I'd think their year of birth is wrong rather than their ages if that makes sense)

Anyway, the story happens between 03/15 and 04/27 of 514 so these characters had birthdays during the story

Benichidori 03/15 (Day before Falin was eaten)

Hien 04/01 (During the time Marcille was petrified)

Marcille 04/19 (During the Faligon banquet)

Izutsumi 04/21 (During the Faligon banquet)

Something else that's interesting is that Kabru's profile says his name is unknown but his birthday is there, same with Izutsumi and Thistle who don't know about their origins, so maybe the birthdays are word of god information? Either that or they remember their birthdays or those aren't their actual dates of birth but symbolic birthdays. My guess is that is word of god info so we can celebrate their birthdays.

Shared Birthdays:

Kabru, Otta and Doni share a birthday on May 28, other than that only the twins Kaka and Kiki share a birthday on September 26

If you wanna see a proper Birthday Calendar with the birthdays organized by months the wiki actually has it

[sp-the-list-tournament]

Welcome to Round 2 of Tumblr’s Cutest Boy Tournament 2024!

Thank you to all who have participated thus far in the tournament. We’ve had some great propaganda and well-meant feuds over these characters, so I am pleased to see a round 2 where a community of dedicated voters has been cultivated, with good energy and no current issues or rule-breaking.

The same rules as before still apply, and I’ve not got a doubt that you all will adhere to them as wonderfully as you have in the previous round!

This may cause inaccuracies, but that comes with the deadline for the tournament being the 14th of November, the original episode’s 17th anniversary. Apologies for that again.

[daresplaining]

Hi! So, this may get a bit long but there’s a Spider-Man issue that I only read the start of and haven’t been able to find since where Peter goes temporarily blind while working with DD and DD has to lead him around (just remembered it was titled The Blind Leading the Blind! I think I found it in one of the epic or masterworks collections) but that’s not the part that stuck with me:

while Peter can’t see he relies heavily on his spider-sense to get around, and after a short time it starts to function nearly identically to Matt’s radar sense; they’re heavily implied (and maybe explicitly stated) to be the same power, and I personally have kind of latched onto it as my radar sense explanation even if it’s never brought up again.

For one, it fits with the original portrayal of the radar sense as a sort of warning when Matt is about to walk into things, and considering that Peter and Matt got their powers in very similar manners (radiation) it would make sense that they have an overlapping powerset. Both get enhanced senses, but because Peter can still see he doesn’t depend on them the way Matt does and instead perceives them more instinctually.

depending on what you prefer you can also make the argument that the spider-sense and radar sense aren’t even an extra sense at all, just an amalgamation of all the other senses, but I do think it’s a cool theory and it would be cool to see the similarities between the two explored more! (Also, if you do know what issue I’m talking about I would love to know so I can finish it ❤️❤️❤️)

The story you're thinking of is told in Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man (1976) #26-28 (right here). It's a favorite of mine, and a really sweet episode in the development of Matt and Peter's friendship.

You're spot-on here, and I love your point that seeing Peter try to navigate while blind calls back to that first iteration of the radar sense, which was very clearly based on the Spider Sense. I've also never thought about the possibility of Matt's powers and Peter's being connected, and it's a really interesting and thought-provoking hypothesis. Thank you so much for sharing!

Updates and fun facts

They are in dd/mm/yy

12/04/24: Well, we'll be on hiatus until May. Nonetheless, more silly fun — here's Shiro's song pick. "Akatsuki no Kodou" by "Unchain" for the simple reason it sounds like him.

❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅

28/02/24: The fanfic will probably hit hiatus by chapter 7. Or not. I hit a slump and I'm having a hard time getting out of it.

❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅

22/02/24: Finally, chapter 4 is up. This one was a hard one, because I'm not in the greatest headspace right now. Just hope I'll be feeling better when posting chapter 5.

❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅

12/02/24: I really need to define a day every week to post, heh. The next chapter will probably be posted on the 22th, but maybe earlier if I get around revising it before that!

❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅❅

09/02/24: Some silly fun, I saw Akutami's song picks for his characters, and I thought I'd make such a list for my own original characters. Starting with Shiori, I chose the song "Setsuna" by Sunny Day Service for her. Felt like a good fit. Hope you like it.

My author's notes about this fanfic

I’m currently working on a sole mid-long fanfic called Sand and Snow, with a dear and beloved character Kento Nanami as a teenager coming into adulthood.

It takes place around 2 years after the star-plasma vessel fiasco, and it’s about Nanami’s last mission before leaving Jujutsu High after graduation. I wanted to delve into his psyche and motivations for doing so, because I feel we didn’t get to see enough of that before he became the absolute beefcake we know and love. Goddamn you, Gege.

This is my copium after the end of the Shibuya arc, and I wanted to explore more about the character. Of course, the absolute icon Satoru Gojo will be arriving at Odate to help Nanami, because I love some classic Gojo and Nanami Shenanigans.

Thank you for reading this wall of text, and hope you like it! Xoxo

Audio Drama Sunday - 28th July ✨

What to even say about this week. Oh my god. Will anything else ever live up to the The Silt Verses finale?? I don’t know! 

🦀 It’s been nearly a week and I still want to explode thinking about the @thesiltverses finale. What an incredible story made by incredible, talented people. I sobbed, I laughed, I said ‘fuck OFF’ out loud in shock and dismay. What a wonderful reminder to choose love no matter what you are asked to sacrifice. I wish Jon and Muna all the best for parenthood and I’m looking forward to their next project, whenever that may be!

👻 @tellnotalespod (S2E14) aw it makes my heart so happy to hear Leo and Riley working through their issues!! Leo’s under a lot of pressure to fix a problem that may be unfixable (at least without a certain someone stopping being an evil hoarder of spirits) but I believe in them now that they’re no longer working in isolation!!

🌲 @hellofromthehallowoods (160) !!!!!! DO !!!! YOU!! WANT !!! TO !!! BE !! MY !!! FFR!!!IIIEEEN!!DD!!! !!!! I wish this episode could have ended with the return of my BEST BOY but jesus, that torture device Shelby is trapped in is not only sick but also twisted. I love how the hallows plays with genre, but I didn’t expect a nod to torture porn! I hope Clem gets her out of there and SOON. 

🧳 Travelling Light @monstrousproductions (28) hehehe my favourite silly is back and they’re 🤭✨jealous✨🤭. I love how Óli is so entitled but SO endearing with it. “I shouldn’t HAVE TO” stop, I already love them so much. 

🖥️ The Magnus Protocol (23) The thing that really creeped me out this episode was how the writer kept referring to suggestions other handles had made while all the posts were getting 0 comments. Excellent stuff. 

🦋 @remnantspod had my emotions all over the place this week with eps 2+3. I loved how simple but effective the music was in ep 2 and I think my heart is still broken thinking about that ring. This show is going to ruin my life in the best way, I can already tell. 

🥾 @doyoucopypod is back! I listened to the first episode this week and I’m excited to hear the recordings to find out what on Earth happened in these caves! I’m worried that this entity will find out what they’re doing and compel Blair to stop them!! 

Possibly no ADS from me next week because I'm going on my sister's hen do (pray for me hehe) 

I hope everyone has a lovely week and listens to things that make their heart happy! 🥰

-PINNED POST- (This entire Post is OOC)

-PLEASE READ WHOLE POST BEFORE INTERACTING-

18+ NSFW

MINORS GTFO

Actual Real-Life Homophobes, Transphobes, Racists, Rapists and Misogynists Fuck off and die! This is fantasy only. I’ll find out who you are and block you.

Asks are welcome from anyone. If you’re a curious Dom looking for tips or a Sub who wants to have some kinky interactions but want to stay anon, anyone with pussy is welcome for kink interactions too regardless of gender. Read more about my boundaries and limits below before submitting any questions or you may be ignored.

28 Cis Male, Canadian, Dom

GENERAL TRIGGER WARNINGS: I regularly include in my stories kinky and MADE UP/NOT REAL/ FANTASY depictions of Sexual Assault, Misogyny, Homophobia, Verbal abuse and Physical abuse. I add specific trigger warnings to my individual stories. If you feel triggered by something you read and I forgot to put in a warning please DM me and let me know.

I call myself straight but My sexuality is that I like pussy and I’m not really picky about whether the person who has it is a man or a woman. I do like Tits but also don’t care if you’re flat. Really, I have no set “Type” I like both femme and masc presenting people. Tomboys are just as hot to me as girls in cute dresses or tight outfits as an example.

My Boundaries are firm with strangers, I understand if you make mistakes or misread the pinned post but you get 1 warning before I block. Friends and Mutuals I’m a bit more forgiving with. But will still block if they push too far.

This blog just gives me a place to get shit out of my system. I volunteer a lot of my free time to support 2SLQBTQIA+ spaces and programs, but there’s been some internalized misogyny that has come up that I’m trying to deal with in a healthy way so it doesn’t get in the way of my volunteer work. Part dealing with that includes this blog.

I don’t have a crazy sexual history it’s just very diverse and I’ve experienced a variety of things. I’ve played out some Dykebreaking scenes a few times with consenting adults IRL it’s intense and takes planning and it is very draining but intensely hot and rewarding. I’m into more than just into Orientation play but that’s mostly what this blog will be.

I like writing, and I sext a lot. So this kink blog thing was just a natural extension of that.

NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT SHIT!

✅Into Roleplay, CNC, Orientation Play (Dykebreaking, Misgendering, and occasional Acebreaking), Humiliation, Cuckolding other men and/or Cuckquean, Abduction, Anon kink, Public Sex, Drugged/Intoxicated, sometimes Hypno is fun, Breath Play, light Impact play (No tools), Light Bondage and occasionally Anal. Very hot when women/girls call me “Daddy” but I’m not seeking out a DD/LG dynamic or into age-play. I’m sure there’s more, will edit as things change.

⚠️Soft Limits (Things I’m not actively Into but will explore with a TRUSTED partner or TRUSTED mutual.) are… Somno, Foot Stuff, Heavy Impact Play (w/tools such as whips or paddles) Complex Rope Play (Needs practice), Object Insertion, Lactation, Kigurumi, Impregnation

🛑Hard Limits:

Forced Feeding, Scat, Piss Play, Snuff, permanent Injury/disfigurement, Infantilism, Haematomania, Knife Play (I’ll use a knife or scissors to cut off your clothes if you want just don’t ask me to cut you.)Furry Play, Necrophilia, Beastiality, and Age Play.

When I begin a post or DM with “OOC:”it means I’m talking “Out Of Character” as a human being outside of the fantasy.

When I begin a post with “IC” it means I’m talking “In Character” almost all my posts are In Character, you will only see me specify this if It is a post where I switch back and forth between OOC and IC and have to clarify.

Example:

OOC: Be safe, Practice Rack. Fuck homophobes.

IC: Dumb dyke whore. How does it feel cumming on your rapists cock?

I will only share Private messages/DM’s on my blog if it has been previously agreed between me and the person on the other end of the DM’s.

If you don’t tell me a specific safe-word when we start interacting we use the stoplight system by default. If you have a preferred safe word then tell me.

GREEN = Yes keep doing that

YELLOW = Take it easy or be careful.

RED = IM SAFEWORDING STOP RIGHT NOW

LAST OF ALL! BE SAFE!

Safety Tips:

- Subs, Learn boundaries from more experienced Sub’s so you can learn the difference between abuse and kink.

- New Subs should read “The New Bottoming Book”

- New Doms should read “The New Topping Book”

- Don’t doxx yourself for any reason.

- Stay anonymous online

- Be aware of the risks of sending pics and giving out your name.

- Practice RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink)

- If you are going to do something potentially dangerous then be aware of the potential dangers and put safeguards in place to minimize them.

Орлёнок (Eaglet) Battle System - Dev Diary #3

3.1 Weapon Characteristics

Ranged weapons possess four characteristics. These are:

Firepower (FP): how much damage one shot with that weapon deals at range

Melee Power (MP): how much damage one attack with that weapon deals in melee

Targets (T): how many targets that weapon can hit with one attack

Armor Piercing (AP): how well that weapon can deal damage against armored targets

Dedicated melee weapons work the same way, but have Parrying Rate (PR) as a fifth characteristic. It allows soldiers to negate enemy melee attacks.

Units, on the other hand, have Health Points (HP - how much damage a single soldier can take) and, as a group, Coordination Rate (CR) as important stats. Coordination Rate represents how well organized troops conduct their attacks, a low CR could for example mean that a lot of soldiers fire at a single enemy, leading to lots of excess damage which could've been put to use against other targets instead.

The last important factor in fighting itself is Initiative (I) - it governs in which order casualties are resolved, which can significantly influence the relative damage output of two groups attacking each other.

I know that might be a lot to take in - but don't worry, this is not a tabletop miniature wargame. The code will do the maths for you. The only one suffering is me, who has to teach the code how to.

3.2 Damage Calculation / The Actual Fighting Part

But still, let's look at two simple examples (disclaimer: I wrote these like a year ago, so there might've been some oversights that escaped my vetting process):

Example 1 - Ranged

Let's say you have 100 troops with rifles, as well as four pieces of medium artillery. There's an enemy formation of 100 riflemen in front, and you launch a surprise attack - you have the Initiative.

So, 100 rifles and 4 medium artillery make 1 attack each on a group of 100 enemies. Your CR is, let's say, 50%.

50 of your rifles do 1000 (50 rifles * 20 FP * 1 T) Concentrated Damage (CD - those are attacks that hit directly, assuming soldiers successfully aim at enemies until they're dead, and then switch target);

the other 50 of your rifles do 20 Dispersed Damage (DD) each, sometimes hitting targets already dead or switching target without finishing the first one off;

2 medium artillery do 800 (2 medium artillery * 80FP * 5T) CD;

the other two medium artillery do 80 dispersed damage each to 10 (2 medium arty * 5T) targets.

All human units have 100 HP each. This means the rifles kill 10 enemies directly with their CD, and bring another 50 enemies down to 80 HP. The medium artillery kill 8 enemies with CD and bring 20 enemies down to 20 HP each with their DD.

But this is an interim result: CR comes into play again. Some of the wounded enemies were wounded by both the rifles' and the arty's DD, or by multiple rifles at once. To be precise, 50% of them (since the CR is at 50%).

In concrete terms, of the 45 enemies wounded, 22 will get consolidated, meaning their damage will be transferred to the other 23, starting with those with the lowest HP. So, 22 will actually be unwounded, while of the 23, 10 will die due to having 20 damage added to the 80 they already got from the artillery, while the other 13 will be reduced to 60 HP.

Which means the total result of your ranged attack is 28 dead (18 from CD, 10 from DD), 13 wounded (with 60 HP left for each), and 59 who are still fine. Since you had the Initiative, the remaining enemies may only now fire back.

Example 2 - Melee

In this scenario, you have 80 saber-armed foot soldiers (dismounted cavalry perhaps?) as well as 20 saber-armed riders charging at 100 enemies (all with sabers only, and no horses). For the sake of simplicity, we'll say both your infantry and cavalry reach the enemy at the same time.

Once again, your CR is at 50% - and so is the enemy's. That's right, they'll be hitting back this time. The reason for that is that, while your charging horseback troops may have Initiative 2, your foot soldiers only have Initiative 1, the same as the enemy.

The cavalry sabers hit first thanks to their Initiative. 10 of them (CR 50%) do 1600 CD (10 sabers * 80 MP * 2 T (sabers get +1 T when mounted)), the other 10 do 80 DD each to 20 enemies.

Those enemies now parry with their sabers, at a rate of 40%. This means that for each enemy that's been attacked (number of attacks = total T value of attackers; if the total number of defending soldiers is less than that, then that value is used instead), there's a 40% chance to negate one attack. Since there's 40 attacks (20 sabers * 2 T) raining down against 100 enemies, that means 40 chances to negate one of them. Negating works by adding up the potential damage those attacks would've caused (number of parried attacks * MP of attacking weapon) and substracting it from the CD.

Alas, our poor training dummies have been clumsy and failed to parry even a single attack. This means that before factoring in CR, there are 16 dead and 10 wounded (with 20 HP each). When CR comes in, 5 additional ones die with -60 HP each, and the overhang damage gets added to the others (unwounded ones, as there are no wounded left), causing 5 of them to get reduced to 40 HP each.

Which means the total result of this devastating cavalry charge are 21 dead (16 from CD, 5 from DD), 10 wounded (20 HP), 5 wounded (40 HP), and 64 unwounded.

Now, onto the infantry.

40 of your foot sabers do 3200 CD (40 sabers * 80 MP * 1 T), the other do 20 DD each to 40 enemies.

Soldiers with HP < 50 are assumed to be out of action, so of the 79 enemies still alive, only the 64 unwounded can parry. This time, they do far better, and manage to reduce the CD to 800, with no less than 30 successful parries.

In any case, they don't actually receive the damage before hitting back, as their Initiative is the same as that of your infantry, and that means both will attack and be afflicted by damage at the same time.

Since their CR is also conveniently sitting at 50%, 32 of them deal 2560 CD (32 sabers * 80 MP * 1 T), the other 32 deal 20 DD each to 32 of your troops.

This damage will go entirely towards your infantry, as units can only hit back against a unit with higher Initiative than them if there are no other targets. If there are multiple eligible targets, the damage will go to a random unit (in its entirety, due to mathematical limitations).

So, let's see:

Your infantry initially suffers 25 dead and one wounded (40 HP left) from CD, and another 32 wounded (80 HP left) from DD. After CR calculation (rounded down, so the damage from 15 wounded is added to that of the 16 other wounded, starting with those most heavily wounded). That's still 25 dead, one wounded (20 HP left), one wounded (80 HP left), 16 wounded (60 HP left), and 15 actually unwounded, in addition to the 22 who were unwounded in the first place.

The enemy initially suffers 8 dead from CD and 40 wounded (80 HP left), which after CR becomes 8 dead and 20 wounded (60 HP left). 24 enemies are left unwounded.

This would conclude this round of combat. In the next turn, your 20 cavalry and 55 infantry (one of whom is down to 20 HP and won't be able to do much) would face off against the remaining 44 enemy infantry, with recalculated Initiative and CR values.

Or maybe the enemy will just run away; which brings us to the next topic, which, considering the length of this, will be postponed to tomorrow's dev diary: Morale and Commitment.

A little about the types of "candy"

I apologize in advance for my English - this is not my native language, I do not speak well (and maybe sometimes I speak like Master Yoda).

Recently, there has been a wave of outrage among the turtles on Tumblr, because from time to time there are malicious anti-accounts that try to devalue our fandom and “wash” candies. This pissed me off and I decided to write a post.

But now this is not about these accounts.

I want to organize (mostly for myself) candies and arguments that we all love so much and look for in every GGDD action.

I am of the opinion that many of the candies are probably really wrong, but this is very individual, and if many people are happy with candies that seem unconvincing to me, they have every right to be. I also have candies that I strongly believe in and, in my opinion, they can not be "washed".

Maybe my "organization" will help someone better understand and also determine for themselves what kind of candy are more reliable, and which ones can be "washed" over time (and are really unintentional).

And one more thing: all these my fabrications are completely fantasy and fake, I just talk about all sorts of nonsense, in reality this nothing doesn't exist! 🤡🤡🤡

There are a lot of materials in Yizhan's world, I will give only a few examples. You don't have to agree with me at all. Everyone has their favorite “candies”, if you are so interested of GG and DD that you want to follow their life and work, then on this way you will find many exciting and intriguing details that you personally will like.

1. "Numeric candy" in social networks — kadian

I like kadian very much. I won’t talk about what it means and how to use it, many already know, and who doesn’t know, there are many materials on this topic, for example, there is good post of @rainbowsky.

Before, when I first became a turtle, I counted everything that was published by GGDD, but over time I realized that this is not worth doing. It is unlikely that DD, GG or their teams bother counting the date and time numbers in each post. It's just absurd and no one busy person would do that. But I think they make sure the numbers look neutral and won't post every day 28 or 23 knowing full well what it mean.

On the other hand, I believe that the direct kadian (for example, the time 18:33 or 23:38) wasn't made by chance.

Sometimes I believe in kadian with counting numbers (for example, 1+8+5+9 = 23), and I have reasons for this - sometimes they both publish such kadian (for example, 28 and 23) on the same day, and that reduces the likelihood of coincidence.

If someone is trying to "wash" kadian, then his argument can be only one thing - "this is an accident." It is impossible to prove intentionality or unintentionality of numbers. In this case, you'd better just decide for yourself whether you believe it's an accidentally or not. Look at the type of post with kadian (it is most less likely in advertising and it absents in posts on social and political topics), what circumstances preceded it and what happened after it. And if you understand for yourself that in this case it is quite appropriate, then no "washing" is valid here - kadian, by definition, cannot be "washed", it's just a matter of probability and faith.

I will give a little example, when the kadian in the ad looked suspicious, and I am inclined to believe in it - this is the time of the publication of GG's advertisement at 10:18 on March 26, 2023. Yes, this is just an advertisement that GG constantly publishes in the morning. But firstly, the timestamp :18 is completely atypical for him, secondly, he knows perfectly well what it means and what kind of reaction may follow, and thirdly, the accompanying circumstances. This post appeared on the morning after the ambiguous Weibo Night, they were in the same city, and in the morning GG was leaving, and bad rumors and gossip spread immediately after the event. I personally believe in this kadian, because for me the circumstances are convincing, but in each specific case, everyone decides for himself.

This category also includes GG's posts of 18 (actually 33) or 12 (actually 28) photos with which he periodically pleases us, 18 photos, including 8 “movie tickets” from GG. It is impossible to prove whether this is a coincidence or not. Look at the likelihood and yourself decide. I believe in this kadian.

2. "Numeric candy" (kadian) that GG and DD demonstrate personally

These are the hands and numbers on watches, the numbers on the sleeves, above the head, spoken verbally personally by GG and DD etc.

I noticed this most often with DD: the numbers 31 and 5 on DD's jacket before GG's birthday, 21:33 on the clock above DD's head in Los Angeles, 32-33 on DD's sleeve on June 21, “2nd row 30th place, 3rd row 20th place” at a fan meeting in Qingdao, and the like.

As for the GG, he has an episode in the vlog on February 7, when someone stops the radio dial at numbers 8 and 3. Although GG himself is not in the frame at that time, this is still his vlog, and it seemed remarkable to me. GG makes it more elegant and not so obvious (the picture can be enlarged).

Can it be "washed"? Some of this, of course, can be controversial and it can be explained as coincidence. For example, a clock display in LA could show a random time. Or DD not chosen the clothes with numbers by himself, but the brand insisted on this (I believe that this is DD's choice).

But how do you "wash" what DD said personally twice at the fan meeting if he and the whole world know perfectly well what those numbers are? If the anti's claim that he "disapproves bjyx" were true, then this just could never happen.

And Y.-Off. posted on Instagram that photo from LA with 21:33, and in fact they could easily not have done this, but they did.

3. Specific things that are pretty obvious

One example of such things is the glowing BJYX sign posted on Weibo by DD's team on October 29, from the final of SDC5. This photo was placed in the very center, and the light sign could be easily cut off or simply erased, and a million photos were taken at the final, but this was chosen. Try to explain why the person who allegedly "disapproves bjyx" did this. This is the very reliable and loud candy.

The same category includes DD's “sneakers and ice cream”, “give the scorpions to WB” (GG's food vlog in Qindao), UGG shoes in GG's vlog June, 7, the text “heart with a mole” in DD's Weibo post on April 26, 2023, and the like.

Something can be "washed", for example famous GG's "rainbow" umbrella, which many considered as such for a couple of years, turned out to be black, we had seen this in his recent July vlog.

You can try to “wash” UGG, refer to the fact that DD was not yet a brand spokesperson when the vlog was filmed. But going back to the previous point - GG KNOWS who the brand ambassador is now, he KNOWS how it will be perceived, other things in the room are blurred and hidden but shoes are on display. It is unlikely that he and his studio did this publication in a state of clouding of mind.

4. Very subjective things that are perceived emotionally and awaken the imagination

These are meaningful words in the songs, the “wedding” outfit on Weibo Night, mention of lychee and camping, a certain arrangement of photos, GG's photo with the dog, DD's T-shirt with the dog. Where DD looked and how smiled, how GG greeted DD's colleague in a special way, images and allegories that GG shows in vlogs and uses in interviews. Jaw and finger DDGG (which pops up again and again and haunts turtles! I'm agnostic about this "candy"). GG's drawings, DD's dances, "I'm out of the habit of spicy food", voices of GG and DD behind the scenes, birthday greetings to DD, sunset, moon and so on.

And our favorite bone necklace also falls into this category, because no one knows exactly where it comes from and what it really means for DD. We can only believe or not believe.

This is the most vulnerable category due to its extreme subjectivity. This is purely a matter of faith and individual perception.

Sometimes such candy are "washed" by GG or DD themselves. If you remember, in November 2022 GG posted several photos, and among them one with incomprehensible blurry red-blue stripes. Many have decided that this is blurred photo of Lego "Titanic", which GG bought for DD. But in the December vlog, GG showed that those were streetlights that he filmed from the car. He sometimes advises us to hold our horses.

I really love things of this kind, I like to look for strokes in the drawings and peer into the photos of GG, guess what this or that emotion can mean, and what DD wanted to say with his dance. GG especially likes to make such riddles, his vlogs are special works of art, I always really look forward to them and find a lot of secrets in them.

It is very difficult to confirm these things. It is unlikely that GG will ever come forward and say what he really meant by drawing two boys on the beach … But I hope at least a small part of this will someday be clearer. Let it be so.

5. Timing of actions

After a long silence on social networks, the posts of both appear one after another. Or after a suspicious period of time - for example, after 13 or 85 minutes, or after 3 hours and 28 minutes. Same posts style. Simultaneous arrival in Beijing after the Hong Kong concert, supposedly from different cities. IP addresses from the same location. The gestures that DD made at the "water show" on July 10, GG shows us the next day in his vlog.

The simultaneous disappearance of both from the field of vision (August 4, 2023), GG being late for work during the DD's illness. This can be “washed” if you prove, for example, that there were definitely other reasons for being late or absence.

An example of such "washed candy" - many thought that GGDD were together on DD's birthday in 2022, but later it turned out that this wasn't.

6. Clothes

I put this in the separate category, because this section is quite large. These are fun candies that many turtles love (myself included). We've already lost count of the same brands that GG and DD wear. It is difficult to "wash" such candy, because that they both wore We11done, Alexander McQueen or Maison Kitsune is a fact. This is observed very often, and sometimes things of the same brand appear after a short period of time.

If I'm not mistaken, once was counted about a hundred matches in GGDD clothes (now there are probably more), and it was noticed that DD's employees used things those brands are represented by GG and on the contrary.

7. Acquaintances, colleagues and friends

These are a few people who sometimes hint to us that they know something. This is “Uncle Lan”, other CQL colleagues, DDU brothers, songwriter and her comics, colleagues from the industry, I won’t tell names, they are known among the turtles.

Sometimes their hints are quite transparent, and we are always happy to see that GG and DD are supported by other people in their circle.

To refute it is the same as to assert that all these people have conspired and are fooling us for some reason for years. Agree that this is absurd!

In addition to all this, beyond any categories, we have BTS of CQL, Rumor Houses and BottledJoy. There's been a real circus going on with BottledJoy lately, so it will be very interesting to see where this all leads, and it's a very funny to watch them performances.

Perhaps I forgot something important and didn't mention some categories, because there are too many materials regarding Yizhan. And this is great, because even if a few candies are "washed off", we will not lose anything, we always have many others!

And no antis can cope so much evidence that we believe in and that tells (and sometimes just screams) to us, that BJYXSZD💚❤️.

The Sukhoi Su-57 is Russia's most advanced stealth fighter jet. Only about two dozen are operational. It is known that Russia has used these jets to launch Kalibr missiles into Ukraine.

So Ukraine became the first country ever to destroy a Su-57 – and there's reason to believe that it may have taken out TWO of them.

It’s increasingly clear a Ukrainian drone badly damaged, and possibly destroyed, a Russian air force Sukhoi Su-57 stealth fighter in a Saturday raid on Russia's Akhtubinsk State Flight Test Center in southern Russia 365 miles from the Russia-Ukraine border. And it’s possible a second Su-57—out of around two dozen Su-57s the Russian air force has acquired since the type’s first flight in 2010—was also damaged in the raid. “There is preliminary information that there could be two Su-57 aircraft affected,” Andriy Yusov, a spokesman for the Ukrainian intelligence agency, said in a Sunday interview.

The Su-57 is roughly the equivalent of the US F-22.

As recently as 2019, there were at least six twin-engine, supersonic Su-57s at Akhtubinsk. Ground crews routinely parked the radar-evading jets out in the open—eliciting a bitter protest from the Fighterbomber Telegram channel, a popular forum for Russian airmen and their boosters. Fighterbomber asked why, 28 months into Russia’s wider war on Ukraine, the air force hasn’t built hardened shelters for its most precious aircraft—including the Su-57 that Fighterbomber itself confirmed suffered shrapnel damage during the Saturday drone raid.

You read that correctly. These very expensive and relatively rare planes were parked outside in the open during wartime when Ukrainian drones have already struck more than twice the distance into Russia of the Akhtubinsk air base. The Russian military continues to prove that it simply is not very bright.

Meanwhile, Ukraine gets increasingly resourceful and innovative.

But the Ukrainians strike Russian airfields more effectively than the Russians strike Ukrainian airfields—thanks in large part to Ukraine’s growing inventory of long-range strike drones and the relative sluggishness of Russian decision-making. Ukrainian air force commanders frequently, sometimes more than once a day, scatter their jets across a vast network of small airfields and even highway airstrips—all in a preemptive effort to complicate Russian raids on parked planes. Russian air force commanders do no such thing. When Russian jets change bases, it’s usually the result of a long-planned move—often in response to particular bases repeatedly coming under attack by Ukrainian rockets or drones.

Here are before and after satellite photos of one of the wrecked Russian Su-57s.

^^^ Date format is DD/MM/YYYY. The Ukrainian captions simply identify the aircraft and point out burn marks and debris from the explosion. You don't have to annihilate an expensive aircraft to make it unusable.

Russian disinformation, as parroted by both extreme right and extreme left in Europe, often goes like this...

"OMG, there's no way Ukraine can ever defeat Russia with its unlimited resources."

We know that those "unlimited" resources are unable to provide almost a quarter of Russia's rural population with toilets. 🚽

Those Putin stooges want you to ignore how Russia has suffered frequent military humiliations, demonstrated bizarre military incompetence, and has lost hundreds of thousands of troops in the past 28 months. Russia, or rather its predecessor the USSR, lost the 1979-1989 Afghan invasion. Russian incompetence certainly did not vanish 35 years ago when that war ended.
