PLEASSEEE TELL US ABOUT YOUR MYTHIC MUMBATTAN AU PLEASE PLEASEE

>:) very well, my people (currently screaming because i wrote a response but i accidentally CTRL+Zd everything out of existence lmao)

The Mythic Mumbattan AU is me pouring the following ingredients into an explosive mess:

Hindu mythology and Indian culture overload

college!Spider-Man shenanigans

revamping the original Spider-Man: India plotlines and expanding the lore

character studies!!! my favourite :)

a potential and self-indulgent crossover with another indian superhero (if we ever get there)

the horrors.

Pavitr and his personal cast!!! just!!!! THEY!!!!!!

(keep reading if you want more goodies >:D)

So the CoffeeBean is a coffeeshop that existed in the mainstream Marvel universe and in real life but that's another thing; the cast below frequently drop by to hang out with one another. The Mumbattan-equivalent of the CoffeeBean is actually the TeaHouse which is another real life thing but shh and so in-universe they're called the TeaHouse gang, but in my heart they'll always be the CBG 😌

Everyone goes to Brihanmumbai State University (BSU). Lots of crazy things happen here. Pavitr's relationship with the others is always in flux but ultimately they're super close with one another (fuck it, they might as well be poly). Their personalities I try to keep as close as I can to the mainstream universe E616 comics, but I'm being creative and letting a few things from the SMI comics and ATSV influence them:

Pavitr Prabhakar — Tamilar (Tamil); he has the charm and skills from his ATSV counterpart and the smarts from his SMI counterpart; he can be a bit of a jerk and a flake, but he tries to be a good friend, and is much more open than he was in high school.

Meera Jain — Kannadiga (Kannada); basically how I've written her in tibim: everyone's first impression of her is that she's carefree and seems to not worry too much about life. She secretly deals with a lot of self-doubt and personal fears, but the gang's presence is enough for her to push them aside.

Gayatri Singh — Gujarati (Gujarati); she's probably the most quiet of the gang, but undeniably the kindest. She's more similar to Pavitr, in that she's stubborn and quick to judge. She's the glue of the gang and always willing to extend a hand to others

Hari Oberoi — Maharashtrian (Gujarati/Marathi/Hindi); the son of the man who tried to bring literal hell to earth, but other than that he's okay. He's a people-pleaser despite having everything, and struggles with his own self-image and who he should become

Ekansh "Flash" Travasso — Goan (Marathi); the high school jock who's grown more understanding and compassionate. He knew Pavitr the longest, so they have quite an interesting collection of interactions. (ALSO I'M SO SORRY I WROTE THOMPSON IN THE ART POST INSTEAD OF TRAVASSO 😭 maybe i should go back and edit that)

Spider-Man is Spider-Man'ing. Mumbattan loves him (sort of. Inspector Singh has mixed feelings). But another question: why is that every where Spider-Man goes the demons of yore all start showing up and begin wrecking havoc? Why is that? I am taking the magic in Spider-Man: India and dialing it up to five million — horrors and magic of every kind! I can get my hands real dirty and /really/ push Pavitr to his limit >:)

That is all for now. There will be more characters, but they'll show up in time. Lots of stories too, all old and new and revamped and crazy, but they'll be told when they're ready. Perhaps this is enough to satiate everyone's hunger? (unless you want to know something else, then by all means go ahead and ask!!!)

[grubus]

how do you plan out your fics? is it all planned and outline in advance or are you coming up with ideas as you go? btw syonr is THE svsss fanfic, its so well written and your characterizations are just so chefs kiss

aw thank you <3

it's a mix of both! It's a bit of a connect the dots kind of thing. I have certain scenes I planned so far ahead- the demon invasion being one of them, SY's hands were always going to get fucked up from it- and some are just kind of the things I came up with to fill in the space to get to where I wanted. For example, LQG's first appearance/meeting with SY was meant to be after the demon invasion, but I decided it would be funnier if he saw tiny 12 year old SY and thought it was a qi deviating SQQ.

Then there are some that were pre-written; SY's background story was one of the first things I wrote for syonr, even though it took like 20 chapters to get to it. SY showing off his sword to SQH was also one I wrote before SY even got said sword, and the "MF had a crush on ZD" thing was decided pretty early on as well to explain why MF listened to him so much during the Bullying Era.

Though for every chapter, I write down a list/some quotes I want to include, and if I can't squeeze them into that chapter, they go into the next one. I tend to get carried away and forget if I don't write things down.

Right now there are many scenes I look forward to reaching, all after the timeskip. I'm very excited to write them out properly :D

This is kind of a question on canon stuff, but Beta mentioned if she tried to run away from the zeniths she wouldn’t survive in the wilds. What do you think would happen if Beta decided to run away at that moment how do you think she would’ve handled it? Thanks :D

Good question!

Hmmm... *scratches head*

(Note: The order of FW events is a bit foggy in my memory as I write this response)

Considering that she was in Tenakth territory, she probably would get lost in the wilds and would have been found by some hunting party of the... Sky Clan, I guess? The facility she hid herself was at the north mountains if I remember right (I need and want to play FW again, but I need to finish my ZD NG+ run first).

That way, I think Aloy would have found her when she's going to talk with the Sky Clan leader among Kotallo. I imagine Beta is at some infirmary of some shorts. But this way, the weapon Sylens is working on would be presented differently.

ACTUALLY! Thinking about that now... Imagine that Beta had run away from the Zeniths much before Aloy had arrived in the Forbidden West and she started to live with the Tenakth. At first glance, Aloy could imagine that Beta was another clone created by Gaia, but she was raised by the Tenakth instead. The reveal of the Zeniths could have been much slower and would add much more suspense about the subject, because I imagine Beta would be reluctant to talk about it until she trusts more on Aloy. Plus, she would have developed some self-defense skills and/or some ability to use a bow and arrows.

Triangle Tuesday 13: Inversion, fiddling around with real numbers, and a far-out conclusion

This week I'd like to talk about a geometrical method called inversion. But inversion can be kind of hard to get, so first, would you like to see a geometrical method for finding the reciprocal of a real number?

We can represent a real number as a point on a line n, in this case P. Then we need to know where the points representing 0 and 1 are. Here i have marked them as Z and U (for unit, because 1 is the multiplicative unit).

To find the reciprocal of P, draw a circle through U, centered at Z. If P is outside the circle, draw a tangent to it at D, and then drop a perpendicular to n at P'. Then, interpreting n as the number line, P' is the reciprocal of P. Or, to be strict, the length of segment ZP' is the reciprocal of the length of the segment ZP. In this case ZP = 3 and ZP' = 1/3.

If P is inside the circle, simply follow the same diagram backward. Draw a perpendicular from P' to intersect the circle at D, then draw a tangent to intersect n at P.

If P is on the circle, then P = U = P', since U represents 1 and 1 is its own reciprocal.

This works because of similar triangles. Going back to the first case, since DP is a tangent, it is perpendicular to the radius ZD. Then the two triangles ZDP' and ZPD are both right and share a vertex at Z, making them similar. Therefore ZP/ZD = ZD/ZP'. But ZD is the radius of a unit circle, so ZP = 1 / ZP', and there's your reciprocal.

Here we see a this method used to find the reciprocals of 2, 3, 4, and 5. Seen as an arithmetical process, it's a way of finding the multiplicative inverse of real numbers. But seen as a purely geometrical process, we are taking a point and using a circle to find another point. This process is called inversion, or inversion in a circle. The point Z is called the center of inversion, and the circle z is the circle of inversion. We can formally define it like this:

Let P be a point and let z be a circle centered at Z with radius u. Then the inverse of P relative to the circle z is the point P' on ray ZP such that ZP * ZP' = u^2. Equivalently, we have ZP/u = u/ZP'.

(We use the ray ZP rather than the line ZP to ensure that P' is on the same side of Z as P. Alternately, we could use signed distances, such that measurement in one direction on the line ZP is positive and the other negative.)

With that definition, we can extend our idea of finding inverses to the entire plane, since we are not limited by a number line that goes only in one direction. We can also use a circle of any size centered anywhere, since unlike with reciprocation we don't have to treat 0 and 1 as special cases. But before leaving the subject of reciprocation behind, let me list some of the obvious properties of reciprocal numbers:

the obvious properties of reciprocation of real numbers have their counterparts inversion of points. For instance:

Reciprocation is symmetric: if x is the reciprocal of y, then y is the reciprocal of x.

Consequently, the reciprocal of the reciprocal of a number is the number itself: 1 / (1/x) = x.

1 is its own reciprocal, and it's the only positive number with this property. -

If a number is greater than 1, its reciprocal is less than 1, and vice versa.

Numbers close to 1 have reciprocals that are close to 1. Numbers that are very close to 0 have reciprocals that are very large, and vice versa.

I led off this post talking about reciprocal numbers because all of these properties have counterparts in properties of inverses:

If P is the inverse of Q, then Q is the inverse of P.

The inverse of the inverse of P is P.

Points on the circle of inversion are their own inverses, and they are the only points with this property.

If a point is outside the circle of inversion, then its inverse is inside the circle, and vice versa.

Points close to the circle have inverses that are close to the circle. Points very close to the center of inversion have inverses that are very far from the center, and vice versa.

With these in mind, we know what kind of general behavior to expect when we are inverting points, which makes it simpler to follow what's going on when we start inverting more complicated figures.

On difference between reciprocation and inversion is that the reciprocal of 0 is not defined. We could do the same for Z, but it will be simpler to talk about inverses of geometrical figures if we stipulate a single point at infinity, and say that it is the inverse of the center of inversion. Also, since all lines extend to infinity, we will say that all lines meet at the point at infinity.

Since that gives us an inverse for every point on a line, that lets us present our first result on geometrical figures in inversive geometry:

The inverse of a line passing through the center of inversion is the line itself.

So far, not very exciting, so let's move on to different configurations of points. What if we have a vertical arrangement of points instead of horizontal? Our construction requires each point to get its own line, but I'll use rays instead of lines to keep the picture from getting too cluttered.

As expected, as the blue points get farther from Z, their inverses (in red) get closer to Z. But also, they appear to be forming a circle. Can we prove that?

Here we have points P and Q with their inverses P' and Q', P being the closest point on line PQ to Z. By the definition of inversion,

ZP * ZP' = u^2

ZQ * ZQ' = u^2

therefore

ZP * ZP' = ZQ * ZQ'

or equivalently,

ZP / ZQ = ZQ' / ZP'.

Triangles ZPQ and ZQ'P' have a common angle at Z and the ratios of the two adjacent sides equal, so they are similar. By construction, triangle ZPQ has a right angle at P, and so triangle ZQ'P' has a right angle at Q'.

Thus, Q' lies on a circle with ZP' as diameter, as do the inverses of all points on line PQ, and this gives us our second result on inverses of figures.

The inverse of a line not passing through the center of inversion is a circle passing through the center of inversion.

Corollary: since parallel lines meet only at infinity, the inverses of parallel lines are circles that meet only at Z, meaning they must be tangent at Z. Here are two parallel lines and their inverses. Notice that since the dashed line is farther from Z than the solid line, the dashed circle that is its inverse is smaller.

What about circles that don't pass through Z? Here we have a circle in blue with diameter PQ colinear with Z, and R an arbitrary point on the circle. Their inverses are P', Q', and R'. The circle of inversion z has radius u.

By definition of inversion, ZP * ZP' = u^2 and ZR * ZR' = u^2, so ZP * ZP' = ZR * ZR'. Rewrite this as ZP/ZR' = ZR/ZP' and we have two triangles PZR and R'ZP' with a common vertex at Z and adjacent sides in proportion, which makes them similar. In the same way we can establish that QZR is similar to R'ZQ'.

The yellow angles P'R'R and QPR are exterior to corresponding vertices of the first pair of similar triangles, so they are equal. And the green angles PQR and ZR'Q' are corresponding angles from our second pair of similar triangles, and therefore also equal.

Angle PRQ subtends a diameter of the blue circle, which makes it a right angle. Therefore the other two angles in triangle PQR sum to 90 degrees. And so the other green and yellow angles likewise sum to 90 degrees, and angle P'R'Q' is a right angle as well. This shows that R' lies on a circle with Q'P' as diameter.

The same holds for any point on the blue circle, so this circle inverts to another circle, and that is our third result.

The inverse of a circle not passing through the center of inversion is another circle not passing through the center of inversion.

Corollary: a circle that crosses the circle of inversion inverts to another circle that crosses the circle of inversion at the same points, since all points on z invert to themselves.

Corollary: if P is the inverse of P' and PP' is colinear with Z, then a circle with PP' as diameter inverts to itself.

So those are the three important things to keep in mind about lines and circles in inversive geometry. To recap:

Lines through Z invert to lines through Z.

Circles not through Z invert to circles not through Z.

Circles through Z invert to lines not through Z.

Now that we have all that down, what can we do with this method? Let's try it out on a new triangle center.

Let ABC be a triangle with circumcenter O and tangential triangle A'B'C'. Then the three circles defined by AA'O, BB'O, and CC'O coincide at O and at one other place: the far-out point, numbered X(23) in the Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers.

Proof: let Ma, Mb, and Mc be the midpoints of sides a, b, and c. Consider an inversion in the circumcircle of ABC. By the construction of inverses, A' is the inverse of Ma, and A is its own inverse, since it lies on the circumcircle. The circle AA'O passes through the center of inversion, so its inverse is a line passing through A and Ma, which is one of the medians of triangle ABC.

Cycling through the other vertices, we find that the other two circles are inverses of the other two medians BMb and CMc. The three medians coincide at G, the centroid.

Since G lies on all three medians, its inverse must lie on the three inverses of the medians, and this is the far-out point. Note also that inverses are colinear with the center of inversion, so X23 lies on line OG, which is the Euler line.

Birds (of various kinds)

been farming apex tiderippers on story mode for luminous brainstems sooooooo. just flying back and forth from the site in the corner of the map, there's a convenient little ledge you can drop off a flying mount onto and shoot from there like a coward (me). it's the easiest spot for farming brainstem if you ask me. obviously im on story mode, but still, point stands

anyways. Burning Shores birds :D

I remember someone saying these were sandpipers, I think? Buuuut I know nothing about birds so don't quote me on that.

i haven't been playing idk what else to post lol... i still have a prompt list to go through though, so im gonna do that soon hopefully

PLUS I NEED TO FIND THOSE OTHER PHOTOS??? From ZD, JWE2 and Ark. I still haven't done that for some reason

Chapter Thirteen.

Days passed and nothing happen. I was scared and restless and the handcuffs and bathroom were a nightmare. When would this end so the torture could start? I was resting on my cot, asleep when a guard woke me up. "I'm gonna let you out now. You ready??" He grunted.

It was strange too. No one around here had normal eyes, the were pitch black depths of evil. Nothing behind the eyes but coldness. It made me miss my home, but I knew I would never return there.

* * Xxx* SOUTH * S ID*E * DEA*D *KID*S *xxX***

We were traveling to the underworld and in three days we would be there so the three guardsmen would drop me off in the hands of Hades himself, I heard from ease dropping before they put me in the covered wagon, still in handcuffs, in a little cage. I struggled to get comfortable and we didn't even plan on leaving anytime soon, so I wasn't too comfortable. Hours later when I was so exhausted I couldn't see straight, the first guardsman sat in the front. But I had my back to him, and wasn't interested in turning to see what exactly he was doing that was taking so long.

I rode in silence.

Nothing really interested me, since I got my sentence. Sentenced to the underworld. I didn't have much to say. Honestly I kept telling myself it would be over soon, but when would it be over? After a fucking eternity? But anyways I wasn't being strong for myself,. But I was being strong more so because it was the only thing I knew.

I wasn't scared of what was going to happen to me, I was scared of how it was going to end, my life fell apart after that night I became a demon, and I didn't have time to think that was over… Was in string enough to take these guards and escape?

The thought tempted me. I didn't know I could die until about a week ago, but the reassuring thoughts that I could use my strength tempted me.

* * XxxL O V E R B O Y ZD I EI NT H ES C A R YM O V I E Sxx*X

Two days had passed. I didn't know if we where almost there not but I will starting to you hungry the tempting thought to breaking free tempting me the whole time and I did know if I should even try or bother or just accept my fate and just take my place in Underwood.

All of a sudden a loud rattling noise took over.l the covered wagon and we pulled over. I heard the guards mumbling to each other unsure if they should stop the wagon or not but we ended up pulling over.

Only one guard got out to see what it was.

After a moment of rattling there was a loud this noise and a scream. The guards looked at each other and one quickly climbed out to see what happen.

After a moment of silence there was nothing. No noise, no guard, no warning no anything.

So the guard begins the take off driving the wagon as fast as he could. What was going on? Could it be robbers this far out? No way. I'm not that lucky.

And then a loud thud noise came from above us as someone landed on top of the covered wagon speeding up. I look up at the shadowy figure walk towards the front of the wagon yanking the guard out in one quick motion before he could even scream he was gone.

The the wagon crawled to a stop.

Then the shadowy figures abruptly jumps down coming to the back of the wagon straight to me. Revealing it was the reaper, who saved me.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT, SUMMER JUST STARTED AND I FORGOT SO IM CELEBRATING THIS BREAK AND I'M UPDATING TWICE THIS WEEK!! LEAVE ME A GOOD REVIEW ON GOOGLE, OKAY BYEEE.

Chapter Thirteen

Days passed and nothing happen. I was scared and restless and the handcuffs and bathroom were a nightmare. When would this end so the torture could start? I was resting on my cot, asleep when a guard woke me up. "I'm gonna let you out now. You ready??" He grunted.

It was strange too. No one around here had normal eyes, the were pitch black depths of evil. Nothing behind the eyes but coldness. It made me miss my home, but I knew I would never return there.

* * Xxx* SOUTH * S ID*E * DEA*D *KID*S *xxX***

We were traveling to the underworld and in three days we would be there so the three guardsmen would drop me off in the hands of Hades himself, I heard from ease dropping before they put me in the covered wagon, still in handcuffs, in a little cage. I struggled to get comfortable and we didn't even plan on leaving anytime soon, so I wasn't too comfortable. Hours later when I was so exhausted I couldn't see straight, the first guardsman sat in the front. But I had my back to him, and wasn't interested in turning to see what exactly he was doing that was taking so long.

I rode in silence.

Nothing really interested me, since I got my sentence. Sentenced to the underworld. I didn't have much to say. Honestly I kept telling myself it would be over soon, but when would it be over? After a fucking eternity? But anyways I wasn't being strong for myself,. But I was being strong more so because it was the only thing I knew.

I wasn't scared of what was going to happen to me, I was scared of how it was going to end, my life fell apart after that night I became a demon, and I didn't have time to think that was over… Was in string enough to take these guards and escape?

The thought tempted me. I didn't know I could die until about a week ago, but the reassuring thoughts that I could use my strength tempted me.

* * XxxL O V E R B O Y ZD I EI NT H ES C A R YM O V I E Sxx*X

Two days had passed. I didn't know if we where almost there not but I will starting to you hungry the tempting thought to breaking free tempting me the whole time and I did know if I should even try or bother or just accept my fate and just take my place in Underwood.

All of a sudden a loud rattling noise took over.l the covered wagon and we pulled over. I heard the guards mumbling to each other unsure if they should stop the wagon or not but we ended up pulling over.

Only one guard got out to see what it was.

After a moment of rattling there was a loud this noise and a scream. The guards looked at each other and one quickly climbed out to see what happen.

After a moment of silence there was nothing. No noise, no guard, no warning no anything.

So the guard begins the take off driving the wagon as fast as he could. What was going on? Could it be robbers this far out? No way. I'm not that lucky.

And then a loud thud noise came from above us as someone landed on top of the covered wagon speeding up. I look up at the shadowy figure walk towards the front of the wagon yanking the guard out in one quick motion before he could even scream he was gone.

The the wagon crawled to a stop.

Then the shadowy figures abruptly jumps down coming to the back of the wagon straight to me. Revealing it was the reaper, who saved me.

Basically, there are 360 symbols assigned phonetic value from either English vowels/diphthongs or consonants/consonant clusters, numbers range from 0-359.

I have no idea how to make a table for that, but here's a link to a Google Doc with all the symbols numbered. Note that /ʔ/ is a "zero" character.

Paintbrush, PlasGlue, and Holy Clippers: Sparse Marns Part IV: Basecoats Part II: The BITS!!!

Time for 8its!!

So: after finishing the two main colors I took some time to think about what I'd like to paint in that wonderfully bright Trollslayer Orange

and I decided I'd paint their magazines, figuring the redder but almost as bright color would make the yellow Pop even more(and vice versa), and that magazines were a Sensible thing to be a different color for organizational purposes u_u I used this brush

and here's cHeavy and Surprise to show how it turned out

Swanky! Next I moved onto a slightly smaller brush

And my next two paints: Bloodreaver flesh

For leather details like the scabbard and pouch beneath Surprise's arm here

and Zandri Dust

for the scroll work. Voila

While doing that I decided I wanted the handles for their various guns, and the butts of their rifles, to be a slightly paler brown(both for contrast and to reinforce that Friendliness Im going for), so I mixed bloodreaver and zandri together until I got a color I was satisfied with; one part br to two parts zd. You can KINDA see it in the above pic, but this one gives a better idea I think. Look to the strap and handle of the pistol near center

Next I turned to Abbadon Black

but when I opened the pot I decided this wouldn't be a good color for the tubing afterall. In the pot it looks like a rather bluish black, but once I got the top off and saw the paint directly I found it to be a VERY strong, inky pure-black. That would just be too strong a contrast, and also obscure the Neat details on the tubing. I still used it to paint the iron-sights on all the guns, where the contrast would be Stark and Exciting, the knobs on the sergeant's scope, and the non-leather details on the handle of the sergeant's knife.

For the tubing I turned instead to mechanicus standard grey

Unfortunately I forgot to take any pics of this particular step X| After that I turned to the mephiston red for the grenades, then went Mad with Power again and painted the very tops of them in trollslayer orange. Thankfully you can see a bit of tubing on the right arm in this pic, showing off the grenade

...And here I see I forgot to paint the tubing around this lad's codpiece X| X| I have MADE A NOTE FOR TOUCHUP! With that all the non-metallic bits were done and I took a teampic to mark the milestone ^v^ ^v^ ^v^

Now it was time for the METALLICS :> :>

Warpforged bronze is a darker, but still warm, color with a GREAT rich look, and I thought it would make for a gr8 contrast, just like the black. My initial idea was to use it on all the details other than the winged-skull on the marines' chests(they call this the aquilla lorewise), but I found that the contrast was a bit TOO stark for the pauldron-linings, and detracted a bit from the "heroic" concept of the color scheme, so I painted over that with the gold later. In the end, I painted the gun-barrels, the respirator-grill-and-vents on their backpacks, and the ring around the circle on their backpacks in wf bronze; and the aquilla, the pauldron-linings, and Various skull- and wing-inlays across the models in gold...

...and then I decided the warpforged bronze would look STELLAR on the iron sights, actually, so I painted that over the black, and it did :3

But I've got to take a moment to gush before continuing owo owo Gehenna gold is this Really Neat mix of red and yellow gold that just does AMAZING things in the light and I genuinely love it; it was EXACTLY the sort of warm-gold color I was looking for in this paint-scheme uwu I liked it SO much that, after I finished with the gold details, I tried using it as a highlight on the bronze details as well and, again, it was Amazing :3 :3

Here's some pics of Sarge which I think show the metallics to best-effect:

and some of cHeavy too

and HEY! I just realized you could upload more than one image at a time :D :D :D(but also -__-)

You MIGHT have also noticed something else from these pics. On the helmets, just above and beside the eyes(hmm what else is often found there :?) there are these two little Camera looking things, one on each side of the head, and I'd been wanting to paint these since the start, but thought maybe it'd be too finicky. But, while doing the metallics I reminded myself: this is For FUN, and I LIKE Finicky >:3 >:3 and Thus Resolved to Follow My Happy Little Camera Thing Dreams uwu uwu uwu

But this raised an immediate question: What color? The answer presented itself just as immediately: they are accents, so I painted them Orange, my accent color ^v^ ^v^ Hmm they remind me of something... But What :? These mysteries are simply Too Mysterious, Dear Readers: I encourage you to look deep into the shadows of your own hearts for the answers, if ye be dyrstig enough to try >:::;3

Alright! The 8its!! are DONE!!! And the base-layers with them uwu My next step is Touchup, wherein I go through all the models with a MUCH finer brush(which I will need to purchase as the one I used for the above really wasnt Cutting it, sadly -__-) and cover up all the accidental paintings which occurred during the base-layers, and any parts I feel aren't Sufficiently Intense. Seeya then :> :>
