uh oh. the instant enzo pauses with the book in his hands, bonnie recalls a moment similar to their current conversation when elena had gotten mad at her for talking about her death within the same vein. maybe that wasn’t the best thing to say. not when bonnie knows how much enzo cares about her-- can feel it radiated within his aura when he was around her--, about her life, about keeping her away from harm. dark hues observe him, hyper-focused as he puts the book back and crosses over to her. she sees the way his emotions color his aura, concern swirling around him and something else, a stronger emotion that bonnie is all too distracted to discern when his fingers catch her chin.

heartbeat quickens, breath caught as a dizzying feeling begins to overwhelm her. why did he always have that affect on her? as if he was able to disarm her with one pointed look. as if they were somehow tethered and something within her was cracked open every time he pierced her with the weight of his gaze. “my very own dark knight in shining armor.” she sighs out breathlessly, her face threatening to turn a rosy shade of pink when she feels the dip of the mattress where his palm meets it. “now that’s romantic.” voice emits with a dreamy tone, bonnie clearly enjoying thinking of him in such a regard.

a moment later, her features forego pink and head straight for red when his lips meet her skin. was this intensity, almost scary in it’s power, what elena had with stefan before.. before she’d died? it was unlike anything she’d felt before. “i-- i want to be here with you too. and if anyone tries to come in our way, i’ll find a spell to deal with them! just like i did when i helped you escape the college.” magic, psychic powers, dreams, it wasn’t a game and sometimes it scared bonnie how much of herself she had to give over to use these gifts, yet of one thing she was certain: she would utilize everything in her arsenal if it meant protecting those she cared about.

@everythingheard​​ | (kat to klaus; s2)

confusion laces features, gaze unfocused as dim light filtered through half-open eyes. katerina had known he would come, seen all the pieces falling into place like pawns upon a chess board. but to be kidnapped by a warlock and left to awaken on the dirty floor of an apartment? that was just rude. hair falls into her face, a roll of her neck as she gets her bearings and glares at the chanting warlock. “you always did have a flair for the dramatic.” katerina offers, not needing him to speak to know that he had now possessed alaric’s body. “it’s one of the things i stupidly believed i liked (loved) about you when you were courting me for death.” tone turns to ice as she watches alaric’s klaus’ eyes observe her.

centuries on the run had taught her to be strong, to flush out weakness and destroy her enemies, to take what she wanted and let nothing stand in her way. and so, klaus and his pursuit had made her into who she had now become. still, could she really say some twisted part of her was not pleased to see him even if his ultimate goal was to take the blood of elena? ah, to have found living family, a sister and a brother and in that manner a direct link to her mother.. perhaps she was letting humanity creep back in after all.

“do you remain so vexed with me that you believe this is an acceptable condition for a reunion? i’ll have you know your warlock kidnapped me and left me to awaken on the floor!” there is an appalled tone that emits from katerina despite the absurdity of the situation-- after all he could kill her right where she stood for his believed transgressions of the past, however, katerina was never anything but herself and awakening on the floor was unacceptable even if he cared nothing for her.

[thekaijudude]

So, run this by me and for everyone who also doesn’t understand it: why exactly are Chimera Kaiju so…. psychologically unstable and uncontrollable creatures? And I mean TRUE Chimera Kaiju not fragment ones or anything. Also, how would you rank each Chimera Kaiju throughout the series in terms of power and abilities along with infamy and popularity in the fracnhise?

Oh lol so just for context for everyone else, a few days ago, we were discussing this theory about the characteristics of naturally born fusion kaiju

So I pointed out that we actually rarely see naturally-born fusion kaiju, and its mostly a result of bioengineering by aliens

And when we look at how pure ultra fusion works, we always see that the hosts either work in perfect sync (in Saga/GV for example) or the component ultras remain dormant and allow the hosts or another component ultra to retain control (GV and potentially Reiga). But the hosts/fusion components has to have a level of bond in order to achieve this perfect sync for a fusion to occur (Zero pointed this out in the Ginga S Movie)

So I assume that for kaiju, since they were "forced" to fuse (for pure fusions), its most likely that they were totally out of sync and as a result, most likely psychologically unstable.

Unless they were simply mind controlled either by bioengineering (Belial Fusions Beasts that were not formed by Fusion Rise Giga Chimera, Grand King) or sheer will of a much stronger master (Golba, Izmael etc)

We can clearly see this in 2 instances, Beryudora and Five King

Firstly, back in Ginga S, Exceller pointed out that he needed the Victorium Crystals embedded in Five King to stabilize the fusion, and it as also pointed out that once the Victorium Crystals were destroyed, Five King basically got weaker.

Next, for Beryudora, as a fusion of 200+ kaiju, while being able to even fuse that many kaiju is one of the biggest feats in the franchise, we clearly see that its very unstable, with components just stitched together in a very superficial manner and Beryudora not being able to actually use all of the kaijus' abilities to its full, combined extent (cause believe me, if it could, it was totally impossible for the ultras to win that day). And Rei was able to disrupt the fusion as well, clearly demonstrating how unstable Beryudora was right from the get go

Which is why impure fusions (or Type 2 fusions as i coin the term) aka fusions with only 1 host but uses only fragments of the other components' power to fuse are a more convenient option, albeit its far weaker. Cause it allows higher order fusions with virtually no drawback.

We clearly see this being demonstrated in Z with Cerebro being able to switch between Belial Fusion Beasts, access Tri King then further amping up to Five King. As well as of course forming Destrudos and further empowering it with 11 Kaiju Medals but still remaining in Cerebro's control. Same logic with the Tyrant that showed up in Geed and Ginga as a result of summoning items that only contain a fragment of the components' actual power.

Also Metsuboros where Cerebro just outright just used Horoboros as a host for the 2 other components, the whole episode of which clearly showed it was mentally unstable and had to have DRC put it out of its misery.

This is very similar to Guar Spectre's reformation in UGF3 as well as Gina was unwilling to recombine with her dead siblings (understandably so as she was under intense emotional stress at the time, especially since this is a fusion of 3 minds into a single body under the influence of a Reionyx). Which is also why I still believe that the Guar Spectre that showed up in UGF3 is not at its true power, because the Guar Siblings clearly have the ability to work in sync, but its reformation was heavily and purposefully botched by Tartarus.

And the only naturally born kaiju we saw were formed from supernatural means like Tyrant and Ultra Dark Killer, both of which were formed at the Monster Graveyard that were "united" in their grudge against the kaiju. iirc, Giga Chimera was also partially formed that way as stated in the Superior 8 Movie.

Ranking wise, ill just rank them according to power which is more clearer. And because theres just so many fusion kaiju, Ill be grouping them together that are in similar levels of power.

Beryudora (If he was stable)

Guar Spectre (not sure if he should even be on this list since he split into the siblings rather than existing as a fusion in the first place)

Ultra Dark Killer (canon)

Grand King (Im not sure if I really wanna count Super/Maga Grand King (Spectre) as a fusion at this point but I wont talk about it here cause its a can of worms)

Giga Chimera (I might actually place Dark Lucifer since it required Noa to defeat him but im just not sure if the Nexus novel is canon or nah)

Tyrant (Supernaturally formed kaiju seems to be far stronger than ones that were bioengineered, which explains why the feats of a 7 fused kaiju is better than a 12 fused kaiju)

Izmael

Destrudos (unempowered), Five King, Zeppandon and Metsuboros (if it was stable)

Tri King and the Belial Fusion Beasts (minus Chimeraberus and Atrocious)

Golba, Zetton Falx (which is bascially a modified Zetton Alien Baltan, which implies the existence of the latter so...), Zetton Alien Baltan

I probably missed some fusion kaiju ngl, but I cant recall anymore at the top of my head lol, do lmk if u dont see anyone thats supposed to be here.

For example fused Carmerra/Megalozoa (1st and 2nd forms) and Greeza (2nd and 3rd forms) can technically be counted as fusion but its also easily arguable that they are simply empowerments, same logic as the Sphere-empowered Hyper Zetton that showed up in Saga as well as the rest of the Sphere Synthetic Beasts and the Sphere-empowered MK2 Galactron

Thanks for the question!

What Ottolenghi did next

IN setting the flavour of our times, this decade has been Yotam Ottolenghi’s. The Israeli-born chef and his Palestinian business partner, Sami Tamimi, first set up shop in Notting Hill in 2002. But it was the publication of Ottolenghi’s second cookbook, Plenty (2010) and the opening of Soho restaurant Nopi the following year that shot him to ubiquity. Since then he has launched a series of celebrated cookbooks and TV shows. And his fame is international: when a New Yorker friend visited me last week, the top of her to-do list was eating at Ottolenghi’s restaurants.

His significance is, however, much greater than that: Ottolenghi has quite simply changed the way we (or at least the metropolitan middle class) eat. It’s a point already made unimprovably by the Sunday Times’s brilliant Marina O’Loughlin.  Put it this way: what were until recently obscure Levantine ingredients such as za’atar, sumac and pomegranate molasses have become everyday in a way that once took, say, balsamic vinegar 20 years. There are now Waitrose own-brand versions of all three ingredients. Meanwhile Ottolenghi is surely responsible in part for the governing restaurant trend of small plates, and for the breakthrough of other Israeli-inspired eateries (The Barbary, Honey and Smoke). And I can’t think of a single book since the River Café Cook Book (1995) that has so thoroughly changed my own kitchen.

Yet Ottolenghi resisted the temptation to open more restaurants after Nopi. Then last summer he launched Rovi  in Fitzrovia; on the principle that I don’t try any fancy restaurant until it has O’Loughlin’s approval, I only made it there last week. And it is magnificent.

It’s a bigger space than Nopi, but with even greater attention to detail: airy, pale wood and comfortable, vaguely Nordic seating. We sat at the bar. But you’re here for the food: and as a succession of taste sensations, I’d put it up there with, for example, a visit to Albert Adrià’s celebrated Barcelona tapas joint, Tickets.

The dishes came as a cascade of delights, with us trying to pin down flavours and figure out just what was in front of us and in our mouths. This was a meal where most of our talk was about the food.

Thus we started with snacks of carrot jerky with gooseberry boshi, smoked labneh and chilli, and duck pastrami with a selection of pickles (cabbage, endive, purple carrot and something neither we nor the bar staff could identify; both dishes pictured above.) No, I don’t really know what gooseberry boshi is either: it’s hard to Google as there’s some Nintendo character of that name who gums up searches (this is food that demands a fair bit of at-table googling.) But in any case, the sum of these flavours almost defies description.

Indeed vegetables dominate the mostly small-plates menu. It’s another key part of Ottolenghi’s influence: he’s taken vegetarian food from Guardian self-righteousness – a column there was the genesis of Plenty – to bleeding-edge London foodie hip.

Using the kind of Levantine flavours we’re familiar with from him, Ottolenghi (or rather his chefs – he’s not in the kitchen here) delivers hugely satisfying vegetable dishes such as celeriac shawarma with bkeila, a spinach herb paste, and fermented tomato (pictured above). I yield to no-one in my love of lamb shawarma but this was just about enough to turn me veggie.

The big shift from Nopi is the Asian influences here: furikake (Japanese fish/seaweed seasoning), kosho (a seasoning paste with chilli), fermented black vinegar and (presumably) boshi. We loved the tempura stems and herbs with Szechuan, mandarin and lime-leaf vinegar, and a side dish of spring greens with dashi and sesame; and asparagus with wild garlic, burnt butter, lemon kosho and jalapeño.

But as those combinations suggest, these are dishes and flavours that are genuinely hard to describe – and the menu provides only an approximate guide. Take the delectable “beef carpaccio (grass fed), Jerusalem artichoke, Crowdie” (pictured above). Never mind the quality of ingredients – pink, melt-in-your-mouth rounds of beef – or that I’d never have identified the sweet-sour artichoke for what it was (pickled?), or the oddness of pairing it with a Scottish soft cheese: as an ensemble, it delivered flavours and textures greater and more unexpected than its parts.

The same is true of the astonishing desserts – something I am rarely tempted to order. Eventually we plumped for rhubarb and rose doughnuts with vanilla cream and pistachio, and five-spice pumpkin and apple fritters with clementine, buckwheat and coconut sorbet: both combinations of wonder. We left eager to taste the rest of the menu.

The wine list is fascinating and appropriately sparky, though for me it somehow doesn’t quite hang together. It’s fairly pricey: there isn’t much under £40. It is also heavy on natural wines: with our opening snacks I drank Nando rebula (ie ribolla gialla) Blue Label 2017. Having a fairly obscure Slovenian orange wine like this on a list carries a certain kudos amongst today’s hipper London sommeliers; I just thought it cidery. As for the Jurschitsch Belle Naturale grüner veltliner 2017, Kamptal, also orange (though not on the list as such), I sent it back: not only did it bear no resemblance to any GV I’ve ever tasted, it was just an unbalanced mess.

But tasting one’s way through such a list is an adventure – especially with bar staff as good as these. Ciù Ciù “Falerio” 2018, Oris Bianco, a trebbiano/pecorino-based white from the Marche region, also had some skin contact but was utterly charming. The La Raia Gavi 2018 (organic) was much more classic, beautifully clean.

Among the reds, there is Alfredo Maestro’s well-balanced Valdecastrillo Ribera del Duero 2016 by the glass. But the real discovery is Cremisan Baladi 2017, Palestine, made on an estate owned by a Catholic order in the West Bank by a Christian Palestinian winemaker. From the local baladi grape, it’s dark, juicy, not unlike cinsault, with a touch of oak. Elsewhere on the list is a trio of beautiful nebbiolos, at a price (including ones from the rarely seen Ghemme and Gattinara areas in Lombardy) as well as Christian Tschida’s intriguing and very individual Felsen II syrah 2016, Burgenland.

Rovi triumphantly takes Ottololenghi’s middle-eastern fusion cuisine to a new level. It will be interesting to see whether it spawns a cookbook. My instinct is that this is the kind of food that you simply cannot prepare at home; then again, maybe in three years’ time we’ll all be incorporating koshu and furikake into our dinner-party dishes? You read it here first.

Rovi, 59 Wells St, London W1A. 020 3963 8270.

300+ TOP ORACLE RAC Interview Questions and Answers

ORACLE RAC Interview Questions for freshers experienced :- 

1. What is cache fusion? In a RAC environment, it is the combining of data blocks, which are shipped across the interconnect from remote database caches (SGA) to the local node, in order to fulfill the reuirements for a transaction (DML, uery of Data Dictionary). 2. What is split brain? When database nodes in a cluster are unable to communicate with each other, they may continue to process and modify the data blocks independently. If the same block is modified by more than one instance, synchronization/locking of the data blocks does not take place and blocks may be overwritten by others in the cluster. This state is called split brain. 3. What is the difference between Crash recovery and Instance recovery? When an instance crashes in a single node database on startup a crash recovery takes place. In a RAC enviornment the same recovery for an instance is performed by the surviving nodes called Instance recovery. 4. What is the interconnect used for? It is a private network which is used to ship data blocks from one instance to another for cache fusion. The physical data blocks as well as data dictionary blocks are shared across this interconnect. 5. How do you determine what protocol is being used for Interconnect traffic? One of the ways is to look at the database alert log for the time period when the database was started up. Want To Get RAC Training From Experts? Enroll Now For Free Demo On Oracle RAC Training. 6. What methods are available to keep the time synchronized on all nodes in the cluster? Either the Network Time Protocol(NTP) can be configured or in 11gr2, Cluster Time Synchronization Service (CTSS) can be used. 7. What files components in RAC must reside on shared storage? Spfiles, ControlFiles, Datafiles and Redolog files should be created on shared storage. 8. Where does the Clusterware write when there is a network or Storage missed heartbeat? The network ping failure is written in $CRS_HOME/log 9. How do you find out what OCR backups are available? The ocrconfig -showbackup can be run to find out the automatic and manually run backups. 10. If your OCR is corrupted what options do have to resolve this? You can use either the logical or the physical OCR backup copy to restore the Repository.

ORACLE RAC Interview Questions 11. How do you find out what object has its blocks being shipped across the instance the most? You can use the dba_hist_seg_stats. 12. What is a VIP in RAC use for? The VIP is an alternate Virtual IP address assigned to each node in a cluster. During a node failure the VIP of the failed node moves to the surviving node and relays to the application that the node has gone down. Without VIP, the application will wait for TCP timeout and then find out that the session is no longer live due to the failure. 13. How do we know which database instances are part of a RAC cluster? You can uery the V$ACTIVE_INSTANCES view to determine the member instances of the RAC cluster. 14. What is OCLUMON used for in a cluster environment? The Cluster Health Monitor (CHM) stores operating system metrics in the CHM repository for all nodes in a RAC cluster. It stores information on CPU, memory, process, network and other OS data, This information can later be retrieved and used to troubleshoot and identify any cluster related issues. It is a default component of the 11gr2 grid install. The data is stored in the master repository and replicated to a standby repository on a different node. 15. What would be the possible performance impact in a cluster if a less powerful node (e.g. slower CPU’s) is added to the cluster? All processing will show down to the CPU speed of the slowest server. 16. What is the purpose of OLR? Oracle Local repository contains information that allows the cluster processes to be started up with the OCR being in the ASM storage ssytem. Since the ASM file system is unavailable until the Grid processes are started up a local copy of the contents of the OCR is reuired which is stored in the OLR. 17. What is the default memory allocation for ASM? In 10g the default SGA size is 1G in 11g it is set to 256M and in 12c ASM it is set back to 1G. 18. How do you backup ASM Metadata? You can use md_backup to restore the ASM diskgroup configuration in-case of ASM diskgroup storage loss. 19. What files can be stored in the ASM diskgroup? In 11g the following files can be stored in ASM diskgroups. Datafiles Redo logfiles Spfiles In 12c the files below can also new be stored in the ASM Diskgroup Password file 20. What it the ASM POWER_LIMIT? This is the parameter which controls the number of Allocation units the ASM instance will try to rebalance at any given time. In ASM versions less than 11.2.0.3 the default value is 11 however it has been changed to unlimited in later versions. 21. What is a rolling upgrade? A patch is considered a rolling if it is can be applied to the cluster binaries without having to shutting down the database in a RAC environment. All nodes in the cluster are patched in a rolling manner, one by one, with only the node which is being patched unavailable while all other instance open. 22. What are some of the RAC specific parameters? Some of the RAC parameters are: CLUSTER_DATABASE CLUSTER_DATABASE_INSTANCE INSTANCE_TYPE (RDBMS or ASM) ACTIVE_INSTANCE_COUNT UNDO_MANAGEMENT 23. What is the future of the Oracle Grid? The Grid software is becoming more and more capable of not just supporting HA for Oracle Databases but also other applications including Oracle’s applications. With 12c there are more features and functionality built-in and it is easier to deploy these pre-built solutions, available for common Oracle applications. Explore Oracle RAC Sample Resumes! Download & Edit, Get Noticed by Top Employers!Download Now! 24. What components of the Grid should I back up? The backups should include OLR, OCR and ASM Metadata. 25. Is there an easy way to verify the inventory for all remote nodes You can run the OPATCH LSINVENTORY -ALL_NODES command from a single node to look at the inventory details for all nodes in the cluster. 26. If I am using Vendor Clusterware such as Veritas, IBM, Sun or HP, do I still need Oracle Clusterware to run Oracle RAC 10g? Yes. When certified, you can use Vendor Clusterware however you must still install and use Oracle Clusterware for RAC. Best Practice is to leave Oracle Clusterware to manage RAC. For details see Metalink Note 332257.1 and for Veritas SFRAC see 397460.1. 27. Is RAC on VMWare supported? Yes. 28. What is hangcheck timer used for ? The hangcheck timer checks regularly the health of the system. If the system hangs or stop the node will be restarted automatically. There are 2 key parameters for this module: hangcheck-tick: this parameter defines the period of time between checks of system health. The default value is 60 seconds; Oracle recommends setting it to 30seconds. hangcheck-margin: this defines the maximum hang delay that should be tolerated before hangcheck-timer resets the RAC node. 29. Is the hangcheck timer still needed with Oracle RAC 10g? Yes. 30. What files can I put on Linux OCFS2? For optimal performance, you should only put the following files on Linux OCFS2: Datafiles Control Files Redo Logs Archive Logs Shared Configuration File (OCR) Voting File SPFILE 31. Is it possible to use ASM for the OCR and voting disk? No, the OCR and voting disk must be on raw or CFS (cluster file system). 32. Can I change the name of my cluster after I have created it when I am using Oracle Clusterware? No, you must properly uninstall Oracle Clusterware and then re-install. 33. What the O2CB is? The O2CB is the OCFS2 cluster stack. OCFS2 includes some services. These services must be started before using OCFS2 (mount/ format the file systems). 34. What the OCR file is used for? OCR is a file that manages the cluster and RAC configuration. 35. What the Voting Disk file is used for? The voting disk is nothing but a file that contains and manages information of all the node memberships. 36. What is the recommended method to make backups of a RAC environment?                          RMAN to make backups of the database, dd to backup your voting disk and hard copies of the OCR file. 37.  What command would you use to check the availability of the RAC system? crs_stat -t -v (-t -v are optional) 38. What is the minimum number of instances you need to have in order to create a RAC? You can create a RAC with just one server. 39.  Name two specific RAC background processes RAC processes are: LMON, LMDx, LMSn, LKCx and DIAG. 40.  Can you have many database versions in the same RAC? Yes, but Clusterware version must be greater than the greater database version. 41.  What was RAC previous name before it was called RAC?OPS: Oracle Parallel Server 42.  What RAC component is used for communication between instances?Private Interconnect. 43.  What is the difference between normal views and RAC views?A RAC view has the prefix ‘G’. For example, GV$SESSION instead of V$SESSION 44.  Which command will we use to manage (stop, start) RAC services in command-line mode? srvctl 45.  How many alert logs exist in a RAC environment? A- One for each instance. 46. What are Oracle Clusterware Components Voting Disk — Oracle RAC uses the voting disk to manage cluster membership by way of a health check and arbitrates cluster ownership among the instances in case of network failures. The voting disk must reside on shared disk. Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) — Maintains cluster configuration information as well as configuration information about any cluster database within the cluster. The OCR must reside on shared disk that is accessible by all of the nodes in your cluster 47. How do you backup voting disk #dd if=voting_disk_name of=backup_file_name 48. How do I identify the voting disk location #crsctl query css votedisk 49. How do I identify the OCR file location check /var/opt/oracle/ocr.loc or /etc/ocr.loc ( depends upon platform) or #ocrcheck 50. What is SCAN? Single Client Access Name (SCAN) is s a new Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) 11g Release 2 feature that provides a single name for clients to access an Oracle Database running in a cluster. The benefit is clients using SCAN do not need to change if you add or remove nodes in the cluster. ORACLE RAC Questions and Answers pdf download Read the full article

@everythingheard (klaus) moved for beta from x

she can see it in the subtle changes in his features, the vexation with her. she has a way of reading him that could only be honed by centuries together, side by side, a mentor in the life of a creature of the night and student, and two lovers, companions until the threat of mikael had torn them apart. twice. even so, katerina’s own expression rises to meet his, no remorse for the desiccated body which lay sprawled out on gruesome display. that had been something she’d learned from klaus too, back when he had taken the sheltered girl with the doting father and awakened something more within her, something dark and passionate, something inhuman and yet littered in humanity all the same. 

“--before you attempt to place blame where it does not belong, marcel. as i already said, i did not provoke this vampire in any way.” katerina offers, a hand motion toward the vampire given. “i may be human right now but i care little if your vampires kill the tourists to the quarter, but i am certain he knew that i am not just another human.” katerina had never just been anything, she had always, in her vampiric life, made it a point to be a force to be reckoned with. “had i not been a vampire before, known what to expect from an attack, i’d be laying dead on the floor instead of him. i hate to think what klaus would have done to you, son or not, for such a thing.” there’s a threat within her tone, katerina displaying the fact that, though human, she was not something to be trifled with. and together? her and klaus held every bit the air of rulers, even if they had yet to take the quarter away from marcel.

@everythingheard (klaus)

it is a macabre display. every step further into the wooden home revealing an escalation of violence. it begins with a bloody handprint upon the ajar door, rancid with summer air. flies flock to it, little legs sticky with crimson. the coppery scent wafts off it like the beacon of alexandria, too fresh for humans to smell-- and yet exposed for all to see. the horror continues within, three bodies in the hallway, throats eviserated and yet gaping wounds from a sword lay waste to their torsos too.

there is a level of brutality and precision to the wounds. she'd toyed with swordplay first, a force of nature unleashed upon the men, before moving in for the kill. as if playing with it and one could see why celine and kol often got along so well. it was a play which had been taught to a girl who had been cast down and become something more. she hadn't used her magic however. and that is perhaps more telling of the original's moods and motivations. she had not deemed these people worthy to be touched by her power. only her wrath.

a kind of silence emits through the space, the sound of stormy winds outside muffled. it is perhaps a blessing which keeps most of the village huddled in shelter and unable to bare witness to such matters. christian idols lay upon the floor next, a mirror to the bodies which too have been cast aside. a strange time had come upon them. a time of change, of a marriage of ideas, of stories, of faith influenced on another, gathering people, drawing them into those in power's ways. she does not like it. this god, these idols not her own. she had been bore in a land far away but raised within mikael's beliefs. raised upon the poetic tales he would awe her with of loki's chaos, of sif's hearth, and thor's strength while her siblings instead faced his wrath. with esther, for her, it had been the mirror. further still another body, this one shown small mercy. they had been impaled by blade yet not had faced the fangs of their killer. it had been a quick death but a death all the same.

"you must not be cross nik." voice emits with a quiet innocence so contrary to her morbid art that it is a wonder how both could exist together. she sits, blood splatters upon her dress, with a small toddler in her arms, bouncing him to make him giggle and it becomes clear what has transpired.

"they killed that boy, or as may as well have." she states, referencing the malnourished and abused child who had been found dead within the village square, curled up next to the well. it was not a time where many held much, the majority starving not the minority. yet celine had known this family held the means to provide. instead they took in more children, setting them to do their bidding while they reaped the rewards.

there had been no excuse.

she cradles the child, making faces and laughing as if slaughter was not all around her. as if her actions will not draw attention to them even if the townsfolk would not know the culprit. "does he not remind you of... henrik?" she questions, turning the child so that his bright eyes meet those of her brother, little splatters of blood dried upon the babes covering. celine had always been an amalgamation of contradictions. brutal to her enemies and yet gentle to her friends, able to still laugh with humans and dance next to a fire and lay destruction upon them in equal measure. kind and yet a viper which shifted like the waves upon a sea. "say hello to nik little one." she begins, a small giggle about her. "tell him he must not be mad at us for sending such people to náströnd."

@everythingheard​​ asked: “  who did this to you?  ” (enzo for bonnie)

confusion radiates, heartbeat accelerated, fear swirling upon the edges of her aura. the druidic witch does not know how she got there, left upon a deserted street of the french quarter. she does not know why blood stains the side of her neck though she can feel the familiar hum left in the aftermath of magical use. she had used her power to do something, perhaps to save herself from a much worse fate. yet her memory.. why could she not remember? had she been compelled or had she simple hit her head? oh how frustrating this was! “i-- i don’t know!” voice emits an octave higher than usual. 

once bonnie had been thrilled by the notion that she would be young and beautiful in her coffin, however after being awakened to the eldritch world around her and meeting enzo she did not think it such a romantic notion. yes, he was a vampire and one day they would need to address what their future may hold, but she did not want to die before that happened! “i think i’m okay now that you’re here. just-- a little weak.” 

[rebelthree]

@everythingheard​​ for stefan​

gaze narrows as elena’s blue hues look out the window only to turn rapidly and focus on stefan, chaotic emotions radiating from her in waves. “while it causes me pain to even say it, we’re going to have to help klaus. god knows i’d rather just kill him-- and i’m fairly certain there’s members of the clave who’d be for it too-- but that’s not an option anymore given katherine’s condition.” katherine. her sister was a whole issue unto herself and one that, as usual, was going to throw everyone’s lives and the whole french quarter itself into chaos. 

[rebelthree]

@myersbprd​​​ | continued from x

he says it’s okay and the entirety of the current situation was anything but alright. no, johnny should be neck deep in studying for his exams with little margaret tugging on his books seeking attention from her favorite brother (meggie never grasped the fact john was their cousin but then again, they all considered him a sibling), not facing vampires and witches and everything in-between. elena should have protected him from this even if his friendship with davina would have led him into this world anyway. at least then he wouldn’t have had to deal with vampires. but elena hadn’t been thinking of anyone else other than what she wanted when she had pursued stefan or when she’d learned about what him and damon were. now, she had to face the consequences of the fire she’d thrown herself into. 

“you’re here now and you’re right, i’m in control.” she wouldn’t hurt him no matter how rough the feeling in her throat remained ever-present. “so you don’t have to go rushing off either.” her tone is back to the way it used to be, confident and filled with regency. no, johnny wasn’t leaving until he was dismissed. 

“am i to be rapunzel, locked away in a tower?” elena questions, blue hues eyeing the books he’d brought her. “i’m not saying i should go to a party or sit in the middle of a full class but i’m not going to be stuck locked in the house all day either. you can tell alaric that.” elena never was one to be told what to do, that wasn’t going to change now that she was a newbie vampire. 

“that said--” she begins, picking up one of the books from the pile. “-- it would be nice to actually be the first one to read my own book.” features soften though elena maintains her distance from her cousin in the room. “you know the way to my heart john.” or he’d seen her doodling in her diary during class. the best felt pens? she’d accept the offering to her court.

Most Powerful Ultras list: A powerscaling calculation attempt

So yeah, after the recent asks, Ive received requests to actually try and figure out just how large each power gaps are, and after browsing through various stats, I was surprised that I could actually somewhat figure out just how strong each ultras are relative to one another

I’ll skip the rough working of the actual calculation tho (like 4 pages worth lol I aint posting THAT)

Bruh this entire calculation took me about an hour

So, the main information and assumptions I have used:

1. Magnificient’s Mega Bomber Punch impact power of 120 000t

2. Powered’s normal punch impact power of 100 Million t

3. Zero assumed to be equivalent to a 20 year old human (lowball proportionality constant)

4. Geed’s age being speed up by the same proportionality constant

5. M78 Red Ultras’ power scales proportionally to their age

6. Gruebe being 100x stronger than Ruebe via the Ruebe Light Ring official info

For the sake of convenience, the unit of measurement used here would be NG (1 average New Gen, like X, Geed etc)

(I’ve used many more approximation assumptions [Like Zero being 1.5 NG] and did not list them here cause if that’s the case, I might as well post the whole actual calculation procedure lol)

So I’ll list the exceptional ultras as well as just how much stronger they are compared to an average New Gen in increasing order and u can even actually see yourself just how much stronger they are to each other relatively:

Ruebe/Trigger Truth: 100 NG

(Brief explanation of how I got this result, I simply took the average power level of all the components and multiply by 100 based on Gruebe's official multiplier, same calculation done for the rest of the fusions)

Mebius Pheonix Brave (actual, without Crew GUYS included): 150 NG

GV: ~200 NG 

(I just approximate both Ginga and Victory to be 2 NG each but one can easily argue they could be stronger)

Average Ultra Brother / Nexus (at the min): 1000 NG (lowball, because assumed Mega Bomber Dynamite is Magnificient’s standard punching power here)

Nexus Anphans (by himself) was basically able to defeat Titan, each Absolutian at the minimum is comparable to a single Ultra Brother, so tbh his power ranges anywhere from 1000x-10 000x NG

Gruebe/Taro/Nexus (~max): 10 000 NG

(The reason why I placed Taro here is mostly because of Toregia [whom is scaled to Taro], which essentially would've beaten Gruebe as shown in the RB and Taiga Movie, but I won't be surprised that this is not the true baseline of ALL the Ultra Brothers and that Taro is even stronger than this)

Saga: 15 000 NG

Reiga: 10^13 NG

[Assuming Ginga = 1 NG as a lowball estimate. Although Reiga is formed by the Mvoie/fused forms as its components, UGF3 shows that Ruebe x Grigio still forms Gruebe regardless so this is a pure 11-way fusion]

Super Taro: 1.5 x 10^15 NG

Mebius Infinity: 1.5 x 10^17 NG

Ken/Belial (at 130 000 years old): 10^39 NG

Assuming every 10000 years = 1000x previous level of power,

130 000 ÷ 10 000 = 13 units of geometric increment

1000^13 = 10^39 NG

Ken/Belial (at 160 000 years old): 10^48 NG

King: 10^90 NG

Noa: 10^105 NG

(Didnt include Legend and the hypothetical Lugiel since there’s virtually no info on them for me to calculate their approximate power level)

Along the way I made further estimations for easier calculation (like just assuming Grigio is 1 NG despite her being weaker than that and Ginga and Victory being 2 NG each etc)

Just for fun, I also calculated how many NG are needed to fuse together to each stronger ultras:

Ken/Belial (at 130 000 years old): Equivalent to a 34-way fusion

Ken/Belial (at 160 000 years old): Equivalent to a 43-way fusion

King: Equivalent to a 88-way fusion

Noa: Equivalent to a 103-way fusion

Yeah so this just puts into perspective just how ridiculous the canon power scaling is, even if I assumed lowball assumptions (linear scaling, Zero’s age being taken as 20 instead of 18 in human years as a general proportionality constant, Ultra Brother being all only 1000x stronger etc)

But this definitely isn’t a perfect calculation, but it would explain most of the canon interactions between beings in these different tiers (Like the directors’ cut scene of Saga and the Ultra Brothers, UDK, Super Taro with Ken etc)

I'm generally gonna go with this powerscaling from here on out

[thekaijudude]

A potential insight from TDC's teamup roster

Upon rewatching the prologue, I suddenly recalled the leaked image we got from the Heroes event and realized this

So as a refresher, the Absolutians are aiming to negate any possibilities of pure fusion ultras forming

And let's recall this image

And back then, it seemed peculiar to see the New Gen-Ultra Brother team up but come to think of it, perhaps these teamups are so maybe because groups of them were purposely physically separated to prevent fusion?

Notice that this would basically prevent the formation of virtually ALL fusion ultras, Gruebe, GV, Super Taro, Mebius Infinity and Reiga options are off the table here, on top of Saga and Legend

(except Ruebe, which is with Zoffy. But since Trigger is there I'm just gonna assume for now that Trigger Dark isn't gonna show up, so we can also take out Truth as well)

Which means scenes from the trailer like these would probably take place after they've regrouped accordingly to their strongest fusion combi:

But of course yall might point out that we don't see Titus, Fuma (since TS requires their physical presence) and Mebius in the leak.

Well it could easily be reasoned away as Mebius dosent yet have a SHF figure so they probably just didn't include that squad but we should expect the 3 to be in the same team as well

And of course Grigio is MIA because of whatever the hell is going on with Grigio Darkness, which I suppose the second pic with the New Gen are them trying to get back the last component to finally form Reiga, which explains why we still don't see Gruebe at that point (Z is there just because lmao)

Furthermore, the above also implies that Zero, Dyna and Cosmos would also probably be meeting up somewhere along the way to form Saga

(We likely wouldn't see Legend again since he could single-handedly end the whole conflict and him showing up in TAC without essentially doing so raised quite abit if eyebrows already)

Tho with potentially 9+ seperate teams, (Dyna, Gaia and Agul could potentially be one as well as Cosmos, Max and Ribut could be the other, to make up 11 seperate teams) the key thing is, who exactly are each team even going to be fighting?

Hopefully not the Legionoid and Darkclops fodders we saw from the trailer, especially when they have Reibatos and Tartarus that could seemingly bring back everyone. It better be familiar big names.

But of course this then leads to an even bigger question of who the hell is Reiga, Mebius Infinity and Saga going to fight against?

Hopefully not their old, original matchups

But man TDC is really shaping up to be VERY exciting

Can't wait especially to see the New Gen interacting with the individual Ultra Brothers

Ultraman Geed Series Review Part 3

6. Zero Beyond

I’ll break this up into two parts:

a) Design

Ok ZB is arguably a bigger letdown than OT in terms of design.

When u look at GV and LA then u look at ZB, my point of contention is pretty clear on that.

I mean I can only see Orb’s forehead crystals and Ginga’s zenshin crystals on his forearms and sheens but there’s no indication of X nor Victory in there.

Although I sorta get why ZB now has 4 sluggers (although he technically shouldn’t since none of the component ultras have sluggers) cause it’s a ‘quad’ fusion, therefore 4 sluggers pfft.

Also, the floppy shoulder pads are really distracting and it takes away the intense moments in a serious battle. The armor I expected on ZB was to predominantly make him bulkier but lean (like LA) and colourful but all we got was a simple purple/silver boring colour scheme.

And I wanna bring in the design of the solid beyond twin edge. Ok, u can argue that the solid beyond twin edge is somehow stronger/sharper/more shiny than the Zero Twin Sword

But hey, IT LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME.

At least OT had the decency to at least have the Orb Slasher (which is still nothing fantastic btw) to ‘make up’ for its horrible design but ZB didn’t even bother to differentiate (aesthetically speaking) the Beyond Twin Edge and the Zero Twin Sword.

b) Battle Prowess

Although the official stats isn’t released yet, since his a quad fusion, I can estimate his lifting strength to be around at least 300 000 tonnes.

And one of the only things that really demonstrated ZB’s status as a quad fusion was when he physically reflected Zegan’s Space Distorting Zegant Beam and Magnificent’s Earth shattering Big Bustaway with nothing but his raw power and coating.

But everything else was meh.

Why? Well…

Where’s the UlTrans? Where’s the MonsArmors?

Literally what OT (a ‘lesser’ fusion) can do should apply the same to ZB, especially the 2 aforementioned abilities.

Thats why ZB is arguably a bigger disappointment than OT tbh here.

And virtually all attacks from ZB is literally just based of of Zero’s base form

(except for Bulky Chorus, likely an amalgamation idea by the director with Ginga Especially, Orb Supreme Calibur, Xanadium Ray and Victorium Especially as the references from what I can see, but it’s the only attack that really shows that he’s a fusion of his components)

Specials like Twin Giga Break and Wide Beyond shot are literally based off of the Zero Twin Sword and the Wide Zero Shot.

Now u may argue that each somehow references his components but can they make an even bigger effort to create some differentiation here?
