Threw some color on it to make it shiny. I quite like how this kit has double ball jointed arms, some funky sword pieces, a clear scarf, etc. not to mention it’s got slots all over itself, so you can have it carrying anything in whatever way you want.

I don't have the willpower to draw out Stephanie DragonWhisper's fashion journey so instead I spent an hour at the Bazaar (and crown shop) putting these together.

Fashion Show under tha cut

☆☆☆☆☆

Whoa!!! Little novice!!! Fresh in the Spiral and full of All Aussie Rage. The very first thing she did was dye her hair Violently Pink. Eloise helped embroider her robes so they suited her new school (and passion) better. The bird wand is hand carved and the first warning sign that this theurgist is going to own 40+ birds later in life.

☆☆☆☆☆

Yes it may look intricate, but this js what she considers her casual, around town robes - when she's not scrambling around in The Wizard's wake, this comfy and stylish gift from Queen Qwendolyn of Avalon is her go-to. Wizard101 hates fun so imagine she's got her iconic pink e-girl streaks.

☆☆☆☆☆

The iconic Council of Light outfit, as seen in pretty much all art of her. Leaning HEAVILY into the white here as a false projection of Purity and Goodness, a mask she's desperately trying to keep from slipping because she's AWARE the Council sucks ass and she's Ambrose's number one hater but if she's in the meetings she's able to advocate for The Wizard. Imagine the pink streaks again, please.

☆☆☆☆☆

The real, true, canon final outfit for the now Professor MerryWeather of the rebuilt Dragonspyre Academy (thankyou @oldestenemy for making me insane ♡) I have yet to farm for her new staff so, if you will, imagine it glowing pink and sprouting little flowers. Got it? Thankyou. These robes are more armoured, which she actually enjoys, and as well as her staff SDW keeps her sword with her just in case. Back to her roots with the dark green, and either reforming the Council or stepping back (not away). Again, imagine her pink streaks but this time woven into her braid ♡♡

☆☆☆☆☆

Anywho she's so silly to me. Keep slaying

[blenselche]

trying to figure out a little glimpse of HW backstory for future van au stuff. the SDW rips her spirit from wood to act as a defensive dryad and her home reacts to her like it does because it's a system of trees that she once belonged to, she essentially lives in her own corpse?? idk fandom specific creativity block is DUMB

[nekotenshi2003]

Hi again! I hope you’ve seen my previous message. I’d like to ask. Why Maria looks like Aunt? Like she was a teenager 50 or even 65 years old from now! She must be a grandma for Shadow’s kids. Its not a suggestion. Just pointed thing.

hope you continue your comic!

until next time!

Sdw.

Actually, when I drew Maria Robotnik, I didn't think much about age, I just wanted to draw her young 😅

[ranubd]

So like, Haley from SDW is literally my wife?

75. Revenge in the Cave

EXTENDED EDITION OFC

What's a good intro?

Fuck intro let's get to it

DON'T READ THE EPISODES UNTIL YOU'VE FINISHED THE FIRST BOOK!!

There’s a lovely scream from the cave, and Logico finally catches up to Seashell near a body. But let’s not be too sure it’s him, because there’s also recent killers Honey and Blackstone. And, finally, of course, Shadow.

LOGICO: Where were you?? SHADOW: I heard a scream. LOGICO: You were gone before that!! SHADOW: I’m a shadow.

Murder time. Shadow stumbles into a crevice and swings an object round and round, letting sparks fly as it hits the walls. Logico rolls his eye. SO annoying. 

SEASHELL: Did you know that there’s a war on drugs?  LOGICO: Yes.  SEASHELL: Did you know that I am part of it? LOGICO: Guilty.

No, he’s not, Logico, be a better detective. When he goes back and stares pained at the ruins, he sees a tiny engraving on this one only - ‘SdW’. Probably stands for ‘Sid Wins’. Logi tenses. He shoulda known he’d been set up. Honey is digging bones out of the area.

HONEY: SHHH!

Why does that man exist. Anyway back in the cave where the actual murder took place, Shadow drops its magnet, which Logi can tell killed a guy. As in, Shadow did the murder. Logi shines a flashlight directly into its face.

LOGICO: I’m really sick of this. You follow me around, then trick me into following YOU around… how do I know you didn’t intend to lure ME into this cave to kill me? I trusted you, and I shouldn’t have. You were simply exploiting my grief. Now, please, for the love of god, can you take your dumb mask off? I know you don’t look like that.  SHADOW: How do you know? LOGICO: Does it matter when I’m right?

Shadow takes off its shades. Now, it has eyes.

LOGICO: For fuck’s sake, you know what I meant.

Shadow stands, shaking. It quickly removes its hat and mask, revealing a face of regret and concern. Logico stands petrified. He is in literal shock, and is probably about to vomit. After a moment of tense silence, he trembles in excitement and GLOMPS the man to the ground. 

LOGICO: [unintelligible high-pitched screaming] I WON’T LET YOU!!! <3 <3  IRRATINO: Haheh… what?? LOGICO: [gico sounds]

Despite his tiny smolness, Logi is pinning Irratino to the ground, spitting buckets of tears, and VERY aggressively snuggling. The ticklish goat cannot breathe. This is very awkward for the other three suspects watching.

Logico suddenly gets all dark and solemn. 

LOGICO: You lied to me. IRRATINO: …Y… would you believe it’s not what it looks like? LOGICO: It looks like you faked your death and have been building fake ruins and placing them everywhere as some kind of publicity stunt. Is THIS what you spent the million dollars on? IRRATINO: What?? No, no, Logico, please! I found these here! I would never fake the occult! LOGICO: But you would MURDER TWO PEOPLE?!? What is ACTUALLY, FUCKING WRONG WITH YOU?! My sweet, innocent, stupidly hopeless little Irratino FUCKING NEARLY KILLS HIMSELF PULLING SOME DUMB STUNT, AND THEN STALKS ME AROUND, KILLS TWO PEOPLE, AND PRETENDS LIKE HE’S SOMEONE HE’S NOT?! [deep low breath] Did you fake your murder on the island?

Tino twitches his little goat paws.

LOGICO: Answer me, now.

He tenses, then falls. 

IRRATINO: It was the only way…

Logico chuckles evilly, eye in shadow. It’s REALLY creepy. Tino kneels down next to him.

IRRATINO: Logico, listen…

In one swift move, Logico leaps up and socks his sweet goat in the face, knocking him out cold, then lays sobbing at his feet as three other men stare with utmost confusion, really never knowing how to feel.

The end (of season three)!

End credits theme suggested by kirvee I didn't forget :3

Goodbye, Mr. Shadow.

The power of Goat Lord compels you!

See you next time murdlers!

Woke up in a coldsweat with the NEED to cosplay my sdw wife, Haley 🌻💞

It’s so fun to see her finally get some love on some, she (and Sebastian) have been my no1 from the start 💞

[covid-safer-hotties]

Reference archived on our website (click to see more than 1,000 open-access covid studies! Daily updates!)

This is just a pilot study, so it's hard to tell if there will be therapeutics derived from this, but it's interesting to see spa treatments pitched for releaving long-covid symptoms. This is the 3rd or 4th study in this area I've seen. Just kinda neat.

Abstract Background The long-COVID syndrome is characterised by a plethora of symptoms. Given its social and economic impact, many studies have stressed the urgency of proposing innovative strategies other than hospital settings. In this double-blind randomised case-control trial, we investigate the effects of sulfur thermal water inhalations, rich in H2S, compared to distilled water inhalations on symptoms, inflammatory markers, nasal microbiome in long-COVID patients.

Methods 30 outpatients aged 18-75, with positive diagnosis for long-COVID were randomised in two groups undergoing 12 consecutive days of inhalations. The active Group (STW) received sulfur thermal water inhalations whereas the placebo group received inhalations of sterile distilled non-pyrogenic water (SDW). Each participant was tested prior treatment at day 1 (T0), after the inhalations at day 14 (T1) and at 3 months follow-up (T2). At each time point, blood tests, nasal swabs for microbiome sampling, pulmonary functionality tests (PFTs) and pro-inflammatory marker measure were performed.

Results The scores obtained in the administered tests (6MWT, Borg score, and SGRQ) at T0, showed a significant variation in STW group, at T1 and T2. Serum cytokine levels and other inflammatory biomarkers reported a statistically significant decrease. Some specific parameters of PFT's showed ameliorations in STW group only. Changes in the STW nasopharyngeal microbiota composition were noticed, especially from T0 to T2.

Conclusions Inhalations of sulfur thermal water exerted objective and subjective improvements on subjects affected by long-COVID. Significant reduction of inflammatory markers, dyspnea scores and quantitative and qualitative changes in the nasopharyngeal microbiome were also assessed.

Guys.....any help? Took me yesterday like 3 hours to correctly install all the extra apps for me to play with Mods. First time playing SDW btw. I was so done with it yesterday, gave it a try today, but it's still ain't workin'??? From checking numerous sources and tutorials, everything should be correct - downloaded, installed, pasted to the right folder, extracted etc., but when I run the game and check console/mods, It for some reason shows only 2 active mods. The ones automatically added. None of those that I downloaded seem to be working or be compatible (even though they should be).....Someone pls help or I'mma havin' a stroke rn 😵😬

[argumentalist]

My wife got me this SDW Gundam Heroes Qiongqi Strike Freedom Gundam kit for Christmas. Neither of us had any idea what it was... The box just looked cool, so she grabbed it.

This was my first SD kit. I'm familiar with the format, and I recognized the Strike Freedom from SEED, but I'd never heard of this SD Gundamworld Heroes series.

There was a surprising variety of plastic in the box. Two different colors of metallic gold. Some clear purple and clear yellow. A bit of red. Black. A deep blue/purple. But, despite all that variety, there were still a bunch of color-correcting stickers.

The runners were a little different than what I expect from the kits I've built so far... There were virtually no gates. And the instructions didn't call for nippers. I just kind of popped the parts off with my fingers - and it was a nearly-clean break. I wouldn't mind seeing that in HG kits.

The build was obviously simple. There isn't a lot to this kit. It only took me a couple hours to build. It's just barely poseable - it doesn't even have elbows.

But it's still fun. I get a certain satisfaction just out of assembling a good plastic model. Following the directions, sticking the bits together, and getting some kind of finished product. It's enjoyable. Calming. Almost therapeutic.

I'll probably build more SD kits in the future... This model has definitely piqued my interest. I'd love to try one of the new MGSD kits.

But I probably won't do another one of these SD Gundamworld Heroes builds. They all look seriously overdesigned. Just way too ornate. I like simpler, cleaner designs.

the indigo giant is the bane of my existence. its on sight what do you mean 3 whole farming sessions and we didn't get up to 70 grave materia SO HELP ME GOD

Redpulse Gundam

SDW Wukong + SDW Aegis + Spare parts

I’m aware that this is largely unpainted, however I thought it would be fun to make something that uses a lot of the clear red(ish) parts found within SDW kits. Tail extension were cut from a leftover runner.

[givemethesleep]

*KICKS DOWN YOUR DOOR*

Congratulations! Wizard Game Brairot has TAKEN OVER and I blame you! Your wizposting has let me properly rediscover the joy of this game and is slowly healing my inner child!

For SDW: 2, 5, and 6

For whoever your main Pirate is: 3, 22, 25

HIIIIIIIIII <3 <3 <3 home from work and procrastinating editing so woe, sdw edgy ask meme upon ye Stephanie Dragonwhisper

2 - What's something about your OC that people wouldn't expect just from looking at them?

For a theurgist in her pristine white and green robes, its probably hard to believe that she was hardcore into the PvP scene in the arena! Most of her spare time between classes was spent taking turns with Suzie Gryphonbane blasting each other to a pulp. On top of this, she's also a skilled swordsman, mostly due to her travels with her adoptive parents, Zeke and Eloise, meaning lessons in Skull Island! So yes, she plays the part of the calm, collected, gentle theurgist when she has to, but SDW is violent and incredibly strong, both within a dueling ring and out.

5 - How far is your OC willing to go to get what they want?

I think a fun problem for SDW is that the only things she wants are things she physically cannot achieve whether she tries or not. For a time, all she wanted was to go back to Earth, to pretend none of this ever happened. But, due to the time disparities between Earth and the Spiral, there was no way she could return without spending the rest of her life in a lab. For a time, it was to become the Wizard, to take that weight off of their shoulders. But fate doesn't play that way. She cannot take the weight of the Spiral for them. She isn't strong enough. For a time, all she wants is her son back. But she knew the Drakes, watched the fallout of Malistaire's grief, and she knows better than to try. She's sick with a longing there's no remedy for.

6 - How easily could your OC be convinced to do something that goes against their moral compass?

Look. Listen. Okay. She's a member of the Council of Light. The backup Wizard, so to speak. And as a result, especially in her early days, she was complicit in a hell of a lot of stuff that she in no way endorsed. But she was young, and despite her shouting she was spoken over. The Council's decision to force the Wizard on without Dyvim is one of her worst moments as a Councillor. That was plain cruel. But she grows sick of that quickly and forces herself to be heard. She's angry and abrasive and challenges the Council on any and everything she deems unfair or immoral, advocating for the Wizard in their absence. She still fumbles, or is involved in decisions that go against her values, but it takes a lot for her to willingly consent to or actively do something she thinks is wrong.

As far as Pirates go, my pirates aren't p101 specific but I'm gonna talk about them anyway. He's not my main pirate but, at least for the book I'm currently writing, Fiorenzo Adathan is who we're following so for the next 3 I'll answer for him.

3- What is your OC's fatal flaw? Are they aware of this flaw?

Ohhhhhh boy. Fiorenzo is a coward. He is painfully aware of that. This man has not once stood up for himself, and bows to everyone else's will. He frightens easily, and is abused consistently by his incredibly unstable captain. He's aware of his cowardice for two main reasons - in running from his father, Fio forced his younger brother into being their father's heir, and a childhood of abhorrent treatment to form him into the cunning lord their House needs, and his cowardice meant that his lover, Adam, is taken hostage and subjected to a fate worse than death. And he could have done something to stop both of these things happening, but he didn't!

22 - What character alignment would you consider your OC to be?

Okay so like. I struggle with alignments because I always find it more complex and situational. But the simplest answer is probably Neutral Good, which is wild for a pirate. Neutral, because, while he does have a blatant disregard for the law, he does follow specific rules to the letter - mostly so Lenora lets him keep his head on his shoulders. And, despite his y'know. piracy. he values human life above all else and is less violent than most of the cast. But again. Good is subjective here i feel LMAO

25 - What is your favorite thing about your OC? Hehehehe. He's just. He has to do so much work on himself. He's not the worst version of himself but he has so many shortcomings that make his life worse, and impact the people around him negatively. And even when he DOES get Adam back, there's no fixing the blame on Fio. Just. Chewing on him. He's Not A Good Person.

AZUL XANXONI!

PRAIZ XANXONI!

THE XANXON ARMY is a part of the larger Xanxon Military, specifically the ground forces. It is the greatest fighting force in the I.T.C.G.[A.]'s records and the largest, not only Intertimelinally but also proportionally speaking, relative to the Xanxon Military, it remains the largest branch.

The following is a list of all actions pertaining in relation to the Xanxon Army, as a service record and a log of all actions considered even remotely noteworthy, since January 1 1rst, 1975 2 ARG, from the Dayi Operation on Dazaan, to the present day [16OCT1-1975-2ARG].

###KAZ--- [REDACTED]

###KZA--- [REDACTED]

###KHZ--- [REDACTED]

###DTL--- [On January 1 1rst,] Xanxon ambassadors meet with General Ryan Ponitownolskiy, of the pro-Xanxon forces, in Warsaw Poland, Dt.A.L..

###DZN--- Just a mere two or so weeks [13-14ds] prior to the Invasion of [REDACTED], Xanxon forces, some 36,000 elite troopers, assaulted the small town of Dayi during the identically named operation. In spite of being outnumbered by the roughly 155k Imperium troops, they were able to so nobly push the invaders out, however this would only be so long lived naturally, as by the 14th enemy reinforcements arrived and crushed the forces present with some over 300,000 hostile personnel piling onto the much smaller force of highly trained Xanxon troopers, who pulled back out of necessity.

###SDW--- On January 1 14th, the Xanxons commence their Invasion of [REDACTED], which seems some rather immediate success, however, after the cruel war crimes committed by the Imperium, and their overwhelming numbers, Xanxon forces were forced to fall back at and after the key and decisive battles, of Carcass Ridge and The Lublin District Pocket, see below comments upon this document for further clarification regarding this campaign. Afterwards, the Xanxon Army was forced to retreat off-world, having dealt heavy casualties, at least at a one to one ratio with the enemy, and unto him they struck.

###WRD--- (Various minor conflicts).

###DTL--- After repeated Imperium aggression, the cowardly evil of Markovich struck again, and this time during Operation Sodium, an Imperial plan to crush Xanxon and local resistance efforts by eliminating most of our leadership, and by capturing or killing General Relek, who, contrary to official Imperium statements, is not guilty of any such war crimes as he is currently being accused of.

###DTL--- On Nov. 16, 2009 D.t.A.L. Local Time, various Bari/Batti-Class Nation(alist) heroes in Europe launched a gracious military coup takeover against the decadent democracies in Britain, France etc., following Ivan Morozov's decision to side with the Xanxons, and save his country of Russia from the clutches of Imperium "freedom". Likewise, General Jeac Ben Venice of France had also decided he'd have had enough of the Imperium's false promises and lies and oppression.

###GSH--- Following this, the opening of the front in January, then by April of the 1rst ARG Cycle, and in April of the GSH's year 2020, our heroes successfully took Leyai City against the evil Soviet and American Imperialist forces. This grand, great and sweeping counteroffensive action had just coincided with many events on the rest of the Interntimelinal Plane.

###T71--- {{AZR-K-15.-8}} It was here that the Imperium failed to even begin occupied the Trinity Seven Dash One world, as we had just quite simply beaten them to it.

###T72--- Minor clashes and an alliance with the Triangleheads had just begun by this point in time.

###DNG--- Likewise, Dazaan had just completely fallen. The Xanxon Army had crushed the evil forces of the Imperium here as well. Predominantly in Asiatic environs.

###DTL--- It was around this point that a massive, full scale Invasion of the DTAL United States has begun, and they lost their capitol very rapidly.

###DTL--- Fortunes for the devilish continued, however, as an equally despicable Empire had just arrived, invading through Germany. What followed was a lengthy and costly struggle. From early to mid December, up until March 1rst of next year (2010), this Empire would fight, as they did in Germany, and in France, and in Poland, and in Berlin, and in Italy, and in Madrid, and in Vladivostok, and in Saint Petersburg, and as in Manchuria, and all before Markovich had committed serious and completely ignored by the community war crimes, achieving a rather speedy victory.

###GSH--- A long, lengthy and complex war had just begun. Following various actions, Interntimelinal World War One had just begun. And it would be bloody, as on the battlefield we had played honorably, and they had just returned that honorable nature with a show of barbaric force and pure malicious evil, trampling upon every single agreement they had signed, promised and had sworn upon. We had to eventually accept a negotiated settlement, which had granted us most of what we had wanted in exchange for peace, simply because we had just slaughtered that many. And it is this settlement that we can indeed consider a victory.

###KRG--- We had joined in upon the imperials in fighting for what they claim and what we prove to be our objective, and that is the rules by which we as responsible hlGl geostrategic citizens must indeed quite follow. And so he had joined upon even unto this dearest conflict.

###2BT--- After repeated attacks, our rather quite slightly troubled ally of Ner was just plain forced to invade Preska, an evil regime, however, by now after August and September, the war had mellowed out in Preska.

###WRD--- It was there, during the heroic and altogether futile fighting in Manchuria, that the enemy had unleashed such terrible weaponry systems and am entire race of such Insectoids as defined by Aichi. We had begun to secure victory by this point, however.

###WRD--- Various conflict, all minor, occured by this point.

###XXE--- And yet it was within our own Empire, that traitors have just tried to seize and secure their ill-gotten power. And yet it is the heroic and impossibly good Xanxon Army who had stopped these terrorists dead in there tracks.

Many conflict are still ongoing, and we are always innovating and improving.

We yet look forward even unto November.

HAYL XANXONI!

(Note, some materials contain the listing of '1975 1', and this is an error, and or indicates oversimplification.

I've been doing frequent writing exercises with my group recently and i need more validation so i'll share my snippets and their prompts. You can respond with your own, ask questions or anything! These posts will be tagged with #sdw so you can do what you want with that info:

Prompt: A queer speakeasy from another writer's GN

The light is dim, though it doesn't dull the colors at all. They spiral and swirl around them as I let myself be led onto the floor. The music is starting again, and everyone moves in concert, stomping and kicking. I can feel the warmth around me, and it's naught to do with the muggy and thick air.

Ash's hand is secure around mine, and I'm secure in it, following along the periphery of the dance floor. "You need to get out from between your stacks of books", she'd said, hands blocking her from the pages.

I stay where Ash leaves me, conversing at the bar. My eyes wander as I wait, taking in the people around us. Flushed faces shine in the flashing lights and those who aren't dancing lean close together. A glance back. Could Ash be sending a message?
