“I’m wearing a blazer set that’s from Ledin, my shoes are from Newbella, and my earrings are vintage. I’m really inspired by 60s Japanese preppy fashion right now. I love the school uniform collegiate vibes and mixing in my femininity with lace, pearls, and bows!”

Google commemorates the 116th birthday of American designer Altina 'Tina' Schinasi, renowned for her iconic 'cat-eye' eyeglass frame,

through its August 4 Doodle. Born in 1907 in Manhattan, New York, to immigrant parents, Schinasi's artistic journey began in the streets of Manhattan and eventually led her to the vibrant art scene in Paris, where she pursued her passion for painting after completing high school.

During her time as a window dresser for various stores on Fifth Avenue in New York City, she refined her artistic skills at The Art Students League and had the privilege of working with artistic giants like Salvador Dalí and George Grosz, who influenced her creative vision.

The idea for the "cat-eye" eyeglass frame came to her during her work as a window display designer. She noticed that women's eyeglasses were limited to round frames with uninspiring designs, prompting her to create a fresh and unique option for women. Inspired by the captivating shape of Harlequin masks worn during the Carnevale festival in Venice, Italy, she envisioned eyeglass frames with pointed edges to accentuate and flatter the wearer's face.

Despite facing multiple rejections from major manufacturers who considered her design too unconventional, a local shop owner recognized its potential and signed an exclusive agreement for six months. The Harlequin eyeglasses quickly gained popularity and became a fashion sensation among women in the US during the late 1930s and 1940s.

Her invention brought her significant recognition, including the prestigious Lord & Taylor American Design Award in 1939, and acknowledgment from renowned publications like Vogue and Life.

Schinasi also ventured into filmmaking, producing a documentary titled "George Grosz' Interregnum" about her former teacher, artist George Grosz. The film earned an Academy Award nomination and won first place at the Venice Film Festival in 1960.

As the years passed, she continued exploring new artistic pursuits. In her later years, she wrote her memoir, "The Road I Have Traveled," offering insight into her extraordinary life journey. Additionally, she volunteered as an art therapist, using her creative talents to help others.

Altina Schinasi's cat-eye design remains influential in fashion accessory trends worldwide, nearly a century after its inception. Google celebrates her as a visionary and pays tribute to her enduring legacy.

which song do you think Omar chose and which one would you like him to choose for allsang pa skansen? :)

Right now I can only think of ”Uti vår hage” since he was so specific that he only had one song he wanted. And I want it to be that one mainly bc I want to see him explain his choice. Flustered Omar is adorable. He also likes Carola, but he did that at Liseberg.

And the song I want him to sing is Talk, if he gets to do two songs then Red Light as his second song. His live vocals are beautiful. It’s an amazing promo opportunity with 20% of Swedes watching the broadcast of the shows. The line up at his show with Molly Sanden, Tomas Ledin, Omar and Peg Parnevik will secure a very large audience of all ages. I usually don’t encourage people to be early at shows, but for this one I make an exception since it would be lovely to have Omar fans close to the stage. Molly and Peg fans will also be in front.

Om Glee utspelade sig i Sverige

Så, det utspelar sig på en gymnasieskola i nån småstad. Småstaden har ingen estet-linje för att ”sånt behöver vi inte här”, så en passionerad lärare gör en körgrupp. Mestadels av eleverna i kören går samhäll eller natur, men det finns också några humanistelever (för jag behöver hum-representation i svensk media). Också för att skämta om mig själv, minst en av hum-eleverna måste gå inrikting kultur och alla kommer va typ ”vadå?? Så du är inte inne på språk, är inte det typ allt hum är?” och de är typ ”nej jag går kultur, vi lär oss om idéhistoria och samtida kulturuttryck… nej det är inte flum…” För skojs skull kan det också vara en elev som ingen är säker på vilken linje de går och ingen vågar fråga

Iallafall, låtar som de 100% kommer sjunga i svenska glee:

- Inget stoppar oss nu av BlackJack

- Fångad av en stormvind av Carola

- Faktiskt de har en hel vecka med Carolatema

- De har en vecka där de bara sjunger Björn Rosenströms låtar och alla tar hans mest olämpliga låtar

- De har 100% en vecka med mellotema. Eller flera veckor

- Diggiloo Diggiley är ett måste att de sjunger

- Julavsnitt där de sjunger sånger som ”vår julskinka har rymt” och ”mer jul” och ”tänd ett ljus”

- Ted Gärdestad temavecka

- Markoolio tema och once again hamnar de trubbel för de har hans mest olämpliga låtar

- Tomas Ledin tema…

- Nån måste sjunga nått av Miss Li

Ledian: A Modest Proposal

Oh, Ledian. Beloved bugge cherished by many and belothed by just as many. A controversial reception which is easily understood by looking at its design and stats:

dreadful, isn't it? And that's to say nothing of the near-useless abilities it has—Iron Fist can do nothing off of a paltry 35 Attack, and the mon is likely to faint before Swarm is able to take effect. A cute, yet dreadful mon, and its not an opinion I'm alone in. Pokemon romhacks take particular interest in Ledian whenever it appears, often adjusting stats to mold the beetle into something more viable:

Renegade Platinum adds 60 points to the BST to turn Ledian into a mid-speed physical attacker as seen here:

The Emerald hack Elite Redux takes an incredibly similar approach, adding 60 points and emphasizing the attack stat, but also making Ledian much faster:

This is a similar approach taken by the Photonic Sun hack, again adding 60 points and emphasizing attack and speed:

YouTuber LivSama, no doubt thinking along similar lines, also changes Ledian's typing to Bug/Fighting from Bug/Flying but goes above the modest 60pt buffs to a full 100 in a spread not too dissimilar Mega Beedrill:

YouTuber Zen Mode takes a radically different approach in their attempt to fix Ledian, utilizing a number of minor changes instead of stat redistribution (Bug/Fighting, a few changes to the learnset, and most notably swapping Iron Fist for Technician) to make Ledian a serviceable pokemon throughout all of HGSS. (great video btw)

And lastly, perhaps my favorite Ledian fix comes courtesy of the Crystal Legacy hack. I have nothing to say about this.

If you're smart, and I know you are, you may have noticed a bit of a pattern when it comes to how romhacks handle Ledian: High Attack, High Speed, lower Sp. Atk by 20 points. Why people love to drop Ledian's Sp.Atk is beyond me, but I can at least surmise a reason for the former buffs it receives, which is another fairly consistent pattern among the fixes: Iron Fist. Excepting our delightful ladybird, no fully-evolved pokemon with Iron Fist has an attack stat below 104, and of those 8 mons, 5 have an attack stat over 120. People see Ledian's abilities first, then its attack, and say "well that cant be wrong" and bludgeon the poor dear into the mold of its brethren. I could be callous and argue that this represents a lack of creativity on the part of most fans, an assertion that I would argue is backed up by Zen Mode being able to realize the potential of Ledian's original base stats, I must rather instead accept the reality that Ledian, as it is seen by fans, needs to be a powerful attacker in order to be good.

So, how would I fix Ledian? I would like to draw your attention to the pokemon that Ledian is within a few BST of:

As you can see, barring a few insectoid exceptions locking into their 3rd stage, the 380-395 is home primarily to NFE's. Because of this and examples prior, I argue that Ledian does not need to be fixed, but rather that Ledian needs an evolution. And this is where and how I would like to throw my hat into the ring. Behold Ledinizer name pending):

To start with, Ledinizer will be keeping the Bug/Flying type. Partly because I feel like Yanmega, Ninjask, and Vespiquen are incredible pokemon even with a 4x Rock weakness, but also in part because I personally don't see enough justification to make it into a Fighting type, or into any other type for that matter. "B-but the dex entries say it throws barrages of punches" yeah you know what else the dex entries say? The dex says Ledian is weak as fuck, that it uses starlight as energy, scatters lucky dust, and prefers lands with clean air, and yet no one talks about making Ledian Bug/Psychic or Bug/Fairy or Bug/Dark do they? In fact, take a break from this post right now and go tell your friend that they should've made Ledian a Fairy/Psychic/Dark type, then ask how they'd feel about it being part-Fighting. Go on. That said, I am still taking those dex entries into account with its abilities.

When it came to the stat distribution, I kind of felt like I was playing with fire. I wanted to avoid the trope of Iron Fist maximization, and Pokemon often change stat distributions as they evolve—Electavire and Magmortar are great examples of what I mean with this—, but Ledian comes from an era where stat distros tended to be linear improvements across evolutions, so with this in mind I wanted Ledinizer to maintain its Special orientation and focused on that, but also without giving Ledian an avenue for abusing eviolite. The decision to reduce the speed stat comes from similar turns in the series—Poliwrath, Octillery, and Ursaluna to name a few—but also stems from a conscious decision to avoid a cliche.

Iron Fist is, in my mind, the greatest limiter of Ledian's potential in the fandom. Zen Mode showed that Ledian can work wonders without it, and since this is all in good fun anyway, I did away with Iron Fist in order to give Ledinizer some potentially very broken, but I think very interesting, abilities. Will to Power's flavor text is as follows:

Drawing on the power of the stars, the pokemon’s Special Attack stat is used when calculating the damage of physical attacks.

While 90 attack isn't particularly worth writing home about, I would argue that having an effective BST of 534 lets Ledinizer slide very comfortably into the arena of fully-evolved pokemon. Now, how this abilitiy functions under the hood is: stat stages are still used normally when calculating damage; Atk for Physical, SpA for Special. What this means is that Calm Mind isn't going to let you do more damage with Drain Punch. There's also a number of other complicated interactions with this ability: while active, Physical moves count as Special for the purposes of Battery, Ice Scales, and other Abilities which modify Special damage; Cannot be copied, passed on, traced, or replaced by Wandering Spirit. When attacking a pokemon with Unaware, Mold Breaker, Teravolt, Turboblaze, or Mycelium Might, this ability will fail to activate. I took some heavy inspiration from Water Bubble for these interactions, and the intention for these interactions is to provide unique defensive utility for Mold Breaker type abilities, while also leaving open the option for offensive synergies. Moves like Simple Beam and abilities like Mummy and Neutralizing Gas, which simply overwrite the ability, still function as normal. There's probably some interactions in there that I'm not aware of though lol, but now onto my real favorite of the two, an ability I made specifically for Iron Fist fans, Force of Will, whose flavor text is as follows:

Drawing on the power of the stars, the pokemon increases its Attack stat as its HP lowers.

Force of Will, in essence, is an extreme version of abilities like Swarm. And similar to Water Bubble quietly boosting Water-type moves, this ability has the sneaky effect of, boosting the base power of moves by 10%. Seems small, but let's look at the how it boosts damage:

and lets not forget the host of other interactions: Cannot be copied, passed on, traced or replaced by Wandering Spirit. Suppressible. Affected by Foul Play. While this ability is active, Strength Sap will always work on this pokemon. The Strength Sap and Foul Play interactions are here basically entirely for the purposes of keeping Ledinizer from being banned at locals, lol. Now, I am very fond of this ability because I feel like it explores a niche that TPCi hasn't quite touched yet. Sure we have Zen Mode, Shields Down, and Schooling, but they aren't as dynamic as I'd like. I want to see HP management on razor thin margins, in a way not too dissimilar from how the Persona series uses HP to cast physical attacks, or Binding of Isaac's Eve, where more power comes at more cost. But because this is pokemon, and pokemon battles are not roguelites nor 4vX affairs, it takes advantage of Ledinizer's traditionally very weak type combo of Bug/Flying by turning that weakness into an avenue for strength. If you can't take it down in one or two hits then it will knock you out as thanks. You want a massive attack stat? Well you're going to have to play smart and earn it.

Anyway, I hope you found this to be an interesting little exercise. I would've included a photo of Ledinizer if I had the knack for character design, but for now just imagine a Ledian with Kamina glasses and Knuckles gloves. If I had to shoehorn a moral into this overlong post, I guess it would have to be: do what the fuck you want. Don't let yourself be constrained by what it currently is, throw it all out if you want and start over. And please be more creative than a flat +70 to Attack.

Tune in next time when I figure out how to fix carnivine.
