that isn’t me. [a “self-aware” angel concept]
“Angel? Have you seen my jacket?”
it doesn’t take a genius to gather if it is or isn’t themselves when they look in the mirror. at least, at face value. nobody shares your face as much as it is your own.
you might have a twin or a sibling that looks like you. they aren’t you, though. they don’t have your blemishes or your teeth. not your hair or your eyebrows. none of those little details.
some people might wake up and look in the mirror and think ‘wow. i look so different today.’ and go about it.
i can’t. that isn’t me. that isn’t my face.
“Angel?”
he opens the door and i look away from their reflection.
“What was the question?” I smile bashfully. He gives me a faux annoyed look- one that feels like it should be gentle, but in some way there’s judgement there. Is that something they’ve come to terms with? Something I should find endearing?
“Have you seen my jacket?” He appears to repeat, his tone softer. I give a general scan of the room, their fingers playing with the sleeves of my shirt before I shake my head.
“No,” I reply, “I’m sorry. Maybe you left it at work?”
He pauses, giving me a look that holds what I could consider confusion. He’s leaning against the doorframe with crossed arms.
there’s a silence in the pause that i don’t like. what did i say that sounded wrong? what would this person say instead? how do you pretend to be other than yourself?
He then interrupts the discomforting silence.
“That’s definitely possible. I’ll look when I go in.”
I nod, thinking the conversation would end at that point, but it doesn’t. There’s only a short pause before he tilts his head to the side, his eyes softening.
my- or, their- heart is pounding.
“Hey. Are you alright?” He asks.
it’s at this point i realise i don’t actually know this man’s name, but it feels as though it’s on the tip of my tongue. i look back at him almost dumbfounded, looking over his face for an answer to a question i hadn’t asked.
“Yeah.” I lie through my teeth, “when’re you leaving?”
“Five minutes?” He responds, before insisting upon the previous question, “are you sure?”
then is when i realise.
“David,” I smile, “don’t worry. I have, like, a little headache. Not even that.”
David looks at me quietly. He doesn’t seem satisfied, but not because of my poor excuse. Instead, it’s as though he’s heard news he couldn’t hear.
“Okay,” he then says, practically a whisper- “rest up.”
He leaves the room and I blink a few times.
there’s an air of confusion to me. a man who calls me angel. david. a person who isn’t me. angel.
i look back at the mirror. it feels a bit clearer now. not a smudge. my hand reaches out and presses fingertips against the surface, leaving prints.
i pull away and whisper to myself words i don’t speak.
“You aren’t me.”
I then respond.
“Pretend to be so.”

Boothill as your S/O
THIS BOUNTY CONTAINS:
[Just some random hc’s about this skrunkly man]
[Intentional lowercase AND uppercase]
[Horrible grammar ahead]
[Pretty short]
This man is NOT experienced!!!
have you seen him? he has the same charisma and grace as a bird flying into a window!! there is no way he’s had a relationship and it shows in how he nervously hands you flowers or little trinkets he found for you. (that DEFINITELY isn't stolen)
his idea of a date is either something borderline illegal or something surprisingly quiet and nice like a picnic in a field of grass.
Really protective
when you’re out and about with him it doesn’t always end well, he IS a wanted man and the IPC are crawling around everywhere so it’s not surprising when he’s always got one arm wrapped around you and the other near his holster.
Definitely teaches you how to shoot
Boothill is a Galaxy Ranger and if you don’t actively join him on his adventures then he won’t be able to protect you against anyone who has it out for him. (aeons that list is LONG) so naturally, he teaches you how to shoot and the basics of gun safety which he drills into your head (even tho he himself dances around with the damn thing like it‘s a toy.)
A great father
I will die on this hill, Boothill has experience raising a child which is shown in his backstory and I just know he is the most caring father ever, he’d give the best hugs and tell them all about his adventures. (he’s definitely a girl dad too, he wears a tiara and everything if that’s what his baby girl wants.)

Inside the Character's Mind: Part 6
CHILDHOOD. SLY AND KOUJAKU. THE AVOIDANT BEHAVIOR: part 3
As if all that wasn’t already enough, at the end of the Re:connect, this happens. Aoba thinks to himself that this is not what Koujaku wanted, as much as Sly wants to think that it is, that he’s in the right. As if what he has done has helped the Koujaku inside, the one who’s like him, the true Koujaku, to come out. As if they could be free inside that cell.
Koujaku reacts to Aoba’s thoughts. Sly thinks for a moment that it’s his imagination, but when Aoba repeats his thoughts, Koujaku says his name. Koujaku, who despite not having articulated a single word all this time, weeks, months, says his name as soon as Aoba “speaks”, that’s what I’m talking about when I mention their spiritual connection, that’s how strong it is. It happening after such a different sex scene, where neither of them can say no, nor show any kind of rejection, is just a reminder that they are both locked away, suffering, and that they will stay there watching this happen day after day until the day they die, not being able to see, or touch, or call each other’s names, or say “I love you” or anything they once wanted to say. They can only just watch each other wither away.
These thoughts of “This isn’t what Koujaku wanted” are very interesting because just like Sly thought, Koujaku really wanted Aoba to accept and love him. But the last thing he wants is having Aoba reciprocate him just because that’s what Koujaku wants. He’d rather be rejected, and even die in the extreme case of the situation hurting Aoba, than having him living something he doesn’t really want, that he doesn’t feel in his heart. Giving himself to Koujaku letting him do whatever he wants without thinking twice, without thinking about his own wishes. A life that doesn’t respect Aoba’s wishes is a nightmare for him. Just like he says in the confession scene “All I can remember is that I didn’t want to touch you like that”.
I mentioned that they don’t treat the tattoo as something that changed Koujaku, but as someone else inside his mind. When Sly appears before him, Koujaku immediately knows that he’s not Aoba, but has a hard time believing it, because physically he’s the same but white. He doesn’t know what’s going on, he can’t process it, but he knows. And the thoughts that tell him that the man in front of him is not Aoba are in red, like someone else’s, with some lowercase and some uppercase, growing more intense as the madness and anger of his tattoo reflects through. Doesn’t it remind you of how Sly’s thoughts appeared in the middle of the screen when Aoba was in charge?
Sometimes I wonder what Sly’s real intention was here. In theory he wants to break Koujaku and bring out the beast because that’s the part of Koujaku that he sees himself reflected in, that destructive entity, his darkest, true side, his pure animal instinct. Exactly what Sly is.
But he still tells the sane Koujaku that he loves him and wants to convince him that he’s Aoba. If that had worked then what would he do next? Because he truly believes that’s what he wanted to hear, and when the narration returns to his point of view he tells us that his love for Koujaku is true. Obviously locked in a cell it would be difficult for anyone to believe him, and Sly wouldn’t get him out of there anyway when he wants to keep Koujaku for himself. But then why does he keep trying to convince him, over and over again, even when Koujaku still doesn’t recognize him as Aoba any time he wakes up? Would he have been satisfied with a sane Koujaku, with those restrictions he hates, just because he accepted his words? It’s only when he sees that Koujaku won’t buy it, no matter what he tells him, that he changes his strategy.
And it’s in this scene that we see Koujaku in control for the last time, and again the last thing he says before losing his mind is Aoba’s name. This ending makes us see how Koujaku once again enters a cycle of abuse. He has gone from being his father’s slave, to Ryuuhou’s, and now Sly’s, and he will probably never get out of that cell alive. He no longer has prayer beads protecting him, only chains imprisoning him.
Sly is aware of what he has done, and he believes that since he has destroyed Koujaku’s consciousness/spirit, it’s only fair that he is the one to destroy his body, not only fair but it even seems like an attractive idea, to die at his hands (Sly try not to be Ryuuhou challenge). I really like this dialogue where Sly tells Koujaku that he can tear off his flesh if he wants, on the condition that he stays. Staying with him, a reflection of his desire to feel loved, accepted, after so many years of abandonment. After hearing Koujaku speak back to Aoba, it must feel like a punch to the stomach to think for a moment that he’s wrong with what he’s chosen for the two of them, to think that Koujaku doesn’t really love him.
Having him locked in a cage somehow is perfect to prevent the slightest chance of Koujaku walking away, as well as keeping him in this state, unable to speak, unable to think, unable to reject him. It’s because of these things that I usually think that at least at the beginning the relationship with Koujaku in a good ending would be quite turbulent. He would like to flirt with Koujaku, sure, but when he realizes that he really feels love for him, he feels vulnerable, weak, and needs to protect himself because the people who were supposed to always be with him, guide and protect him, left him. And Koujaku somehow “abandoned” him once too. So before being exposed to that, he would rather push Koujaku away. Regardless, Sly would always come back to him, because as much as he wants to walk away he can’t, he needs Koujaku to stay by his side. It doesn’t matter if it’s love or hate, Sly will take it because it’s intense, real and raw.
Fun fact: Sly and Beast Koujaku both have golden eyes, when they “transform”. Everyone has those three sides of their conscience but Aoba’s just have a distinct personality and identity each, which I think might lead to thinking that beast Koujaku might have a personality of his own. I think he’s somewhere in between, he’s obviously not like them, but he’s definitely his own entity. Like some kind of natural force, like rain, wind, the energy of the cosmos, possessing him, something more abstract than a spirit or god, which we usually see as human or animal-like appearance wise.
The first thing that strikes us when we see Aoba is that his design radically changes. When Sly takes control of his body it’s not like he suffers any physical changes, besides the shine of his eyes, however here he turns completely white. The only time we see something like that happen is when we see the true forms of Sei and Aoba, but those black marks don’t appear. This is what makes me wonder if the white color has something to do with those forms, as if it were some kind of symbolism of Sly “breaking free” and being himself, without restrictions, without Reason, but they don’t add the black marks to not spoil it, or because it looks like shit with the design, or because it simply has nothing to do with that.
The white color is the color of death, mourning, the color with which the deceased are dressed. A sterile color, without impurities, highly related to the spiritual world. Many white flowers are commonly used in funerals, usually Buddhist, such as the white chrysanthemum, used for its meaning of truth and sincerity. Aoba wears a white kimono and also gives one to Koujaku. These traditional elements could be there just to remember Koujaku but nothing in this document could ever be simple of course.
The hair of a dead person is considered to turn white after a certain period of time, meaning that the hair is no longer a source of impurities, it can't be possessed by an evil spirit, and can be transported beyond the border that marks the separation between the sacred realm of the dead and the ordinary world of the living.
His skin, his characteristic blue hair, his eyes and his clothes turn completely white because at this point Aoba is no longer there. Not in a literal sense, of course, but in a figurative sense, Aoba is dead. And this is basically the same thing that happens with Koujaku. They are both reborn, destroyed, spiritually dying so that something else can be created, the ID, the instinct of destruction, the two beasts freed from the bodies that held them prisoners.
His clothes in general resemble those of a Miko, with a more “fantastical” and sexualized appearance. This post talks about it as well. Again it’s a reference to the spiritual realm, their religious side and how Aoba/Sly is an object of devotion, of how Aoba is somewhat a channeler for Koujaku. Just like there are rituals that call the gods to our world, like I’ve said in the section about hair, which serves as a connection with gods, Aoba is the only thing that connects Koujaku with this world, the only reason why he’s still alive.

The construction worker coming to stop Quackity was clearly intentional. Cucurucho could've easily come instead, because the worker was acted by the same admin- QNPC01, but they chose to play the worker character for this on purpose. Let's go over what we've learned in the interaction (cause it's actually a lot??)
First, the characterization through body language. The worker was acting totally opposite of Cucurucho- nervous, not playful, weak. It kept looking at the ground and shaking its head. It seemed pressured to do something about the rule-breaker (possibly due to fear their boss would be angry with them for not trying) but it literally has zero power to do anything. It’s punches did nothing and it resorted to pleading
Next, its way of talking. Cucurucho always writes in all uppercase letters but the worker wrote in all lowercase, again showing how they're different:
The workers are also able to be attacked, as we've seen before when Cucurucho would punch them, and when Forever tried to kill them. But Quackity succeeded this time. We got a good look at the inventory:
Okay, it has super weak items but the obvious interesting thing here is the nether stuff?? Basically confirmation that the Federation has control over the nether, and have been doing construction/material collection in there. possibly a hint? I'm also curious about that book...
I do feel bad for that little guy though they didn’t deserve it!! :( Quackity might get consequences for this

Are screams more terrifying if they are coherent or incoherent screams?
I am going off the assumption that a coherent scream is either yelling or you can hear distinct sentences, this was made with intent to convey something!
But an incoherent scream is just screaming? Would it be more terrifying because it’s so disjointed? And could it make sense with the screams having an uppercase or lowercase-
Is it just sound at that point or….

SAINTS? SAENTS. — PROLOGUE
synopsis. where an all korean high school finally gets an international student ... turned into a group of 5.
meet saeboms internationals and peek at their lives as they adapt to the new world their thrown in together!
warning. cussing, intentional lowercase and uppercase, ermmm idk what else but lmk if something should be added
keeho.
another year being the only one alone still struggling with this culture shock in this fuckass school. at this point he had set an alarm every 11:11 and prayed before bed for someone like him to show up the next school day. typing on his phone with a clear frown on his face, he just continued ranting and ranting to the closest online friend he had, chunhua. they befriended each other VERY quickly after she constantly agreed with his movie criticism, opinions against him would never be tolerated! reading the message she sent after the 10 sentence long paragraphs the smile disappeared instantly as he screamed a loud "FUCK YEAH" and ran as fast he could to the school office, choosing to ignore the judging stares because again, OPINIONS AGAINST HIM WOULD NEVER BE TOLERATED!!!
chunhua.
groaning internally, she fought the urge to roll her eyes as the principal continued to ridicule her for her grades. sure she wasn't the best student but she wasn't failing at least! "tch! a pretty face gone to waste, what's the point of looking like that when you can't even be smart!" what a fucking creep. looking down she did her best to discreetly pull out her phone to sent steph a message, fuck the surprise entrance for him. get in the fucking school office this principals coming at my shit grades. the read message tag was all she needed to see to know he was on his way, probably tripped on a few steps as well. the slammed open door approximately 1.43 minutes was enough for her to know this school year was going to be SOMETHING.
skip to a year real quick erm.
yn.
standing in the front of the classroom felt like fucking hell. a duo giggling their asses off in the back of the room didn't help either because were they laughing at YOU or at EACH OTHER. anxiety was taking a TOLL on you and it was absolutely terrifying, you thought your knee was going to start buckling noticeably. hands were clammy and shaky, jesus take the damn wheel. introduce yourself MY ASS, this shit was not necessary in [where ever the fuck you are] and you wish it wasn't here too. the differences were so overwhelming you almost slid yourself off your seat so you could hide under your desk. AND YOUR DESKMATE WAS ALSO A BITCH TOO LIKE... why did your entire class start oooing and screaming. all you knew was this guy was named lee suho or something and that you hated him because all you did was ask for the page on where the class was and he ignored your ass. when the end of the class came you still held in your breath, NO BREATHING NO BREAKS!!! god was clearly not on your side because the duo that was snorting and gasping for air came up to you and you almost collapsed from a heart attack. god they were fucking gorgeous too, pretty people are too terrifying. when the guy spoke up you almost had a seizure because damn he got a real nice voice, "you're not from korea right?" nothing was coming out your mouth and you knew that. sparing yourself that embarrassment, a simple nod was all it took for them to have silent joy, giant grins and clapping enthusiastically with both hands. the english response you received from the girl let you finally start breathing (thank the lord because damn you were probably gonna look like violet from charlie and the chocolate factory), "welcome to the school new int!"
skip to 2 months thanks.
jake.
awkward was all that could be described for how jake was acting. his words were stiff as he introduced himself and he looked like a barbie doll being twisted to be sitting in a chair. when break came around all he could do was sit up straight staring into space. his zoning out was very rudely disrupted by a girl who pushed someone into his desk, waving them along with another guy. even if it seemed more like they were getting bullied, all he could do was start praying they wouldn't bully HIM. the awkward land on his desk made them just try and act cool ... failing to be honest ... putting a hand on their cheek and other hand on hip, "so um ... how are the spiders back home" silence just fell between the both of you as jake simply didn't know how to respond. as i said, awkward. clearly the random stranger had given up on the small talk because all it took was the "we're also abroad just let us adopt you" for him to relax his tensed up shoulders because, well, how bad could this get?
ermmmm gimme a week and a half skip.
yunjin.
in all honesty, jen wasn't used to this fucking name change. all her life it was jennifer, jenni, jen, ferb even. now she had to get used to being called YUNJIN by everyone. god it felt like her parents were everywhere now, yunjin this yunjin that. every time someone spoke to her and they even said her name she had to hold in a groan. standing in front of the classroom, she wanted to sink into the ground so badly as she said her name and as someone shouted out "I USED YOUR YESSTYLE CODE!!!" like... NO YOU DIDN'T. who the fuck brings up the personal work to a first meet class introduction. when class was over one glance at a quartet with a random guy pointing at her was enough for her to put her head down into her arms and try to sleep through the 10 minutes she had. well the lord really said fuck your beauty sleep because the knock on her desk had her looking up, head still in arms up at a guy from the group of 4, the rest cheering him on as he stuttered through his (english) intro (which surprised jen... in a good way of course), "um like hi im uh jake- you know what fuck this. do you wanna be friends with us? we foreigners needa stick together anyways, no?"

Hey dado, so uhm...
Look. I have ZERO IDEA if i have to tell you this, and i dont know if YOU know but... theres something.
Its called "Department of Anomalous Drugs and Ordnance".
The uppercase letters spell DADO, and like- your entire thing is "trust dado" and writing lowercase and generally being nice to people.
Now add onto that an UPPERCASE dado, thats probably your opposite, which means good writing but B A D intentions.
...just wanted to warn you.
my goodness dado is thankful for this warning. dado was not aware of this evil dado lurking around in places which it lurks. luckily dado has precautions to deal with this sort of thing. such as fire arm by dado buy now at dado legally ambiguous goods and legal consultancy

Cloud Security – Best Practices For Protecting Your Data
In today’s digital landscape, data is the new gold, and the cybercriminals in the dark web exploit any vulnerability. The rise of cloud storage has brought incredible convenience and scalability, but it also presents a new battleground for these “bad guys.”
Hackers are on the lookout for weak spots in cloud defenses, seeking to steal personal, financial, and sensitive business data. So, it’s crucial to implement solid security measures and shield your cloud-stored information like a well-guarded treasure.
Here are the 10 ways to protect your data:
Choose a Secure Cloud Provider
The first step in protecting your data is selecting a provider with a proven track record. Look for those with certifications like ISO27001 or SOC 2, which demonstrate robust security protocols. Additionally, be mindful of data residency—choose a provider that stores data in regions with strong data protection laws, ensuring compliance and reducing legal risk.
Use Strong Passwords Password strength is one of the simplest yet most overlooked security measures. Ensure you’re using long, complex passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid common phrases or easily guessable information. Also, change your passwords periodically and never reuse them across multiple services.
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Passwords alone aren’t enough. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a second form of verification, such as a text message or authentication app, to access your account. Even if a hacker obtains your password, MFA can block unauthorized access by demanding a secondary proof of identity.
Encrypt Your Data Encryption is the process of converting your data into a scrambled format, making it unreadable to unauthorized users. When using cloud storage, ensure that both client-side (on your device) and server-side (on the provider’s server) encryption are in place. This ensures that even if your data is intercepted, it remains secure. It’s also crucial to maintain control over your encryption keys for added protection.
Implement Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) Not everyone who accesses your cloud storage should have the same level of permissions. Implementing role-based access controls ensures that users only have the minimum permissions necessary for their tasks. For example, some may only need to view data, while others require editing capabilities. Regularly review these permissions to prevent unauthorized access.
Backup Your Data Regularly Cloud storage isn’t foolproof, and relying solely on one platform can be risky. Always back up your critical data and store it in multiple locations, including both cloud-based and physical backups. Regularly test your backups to ensure they work and can be restored in the event of an emergency, such as a breach or accidental deletion.
Stay Educated and Informed Human error remains one of the biggest risks to cloud services. Regularly educate yourself and your team on the latest security best practices. From recognizing phishing attempts to understanding secure cloud usage, knowledge is a powerful defense against both intentional and accidental data breaches.
Monitor for Unusual Activity Cloud providers typically offer access logs, allowing you to monitor activity within your account. Regularly review these logs for any suspicious behavior, such as logins from unfamiliar locations or excessive data downloads. Early detection of unusual activity can help you respond quickly and mitigate potential damage.
Develop an Incident Response Plan No matter how secure your setup, breaches can happen. Having a well-documented incident response plan ensures you’re prepared to act quickly in the event of a security breach. Your plan should outline how to contain the breach, recover lost data, and minimize damage. Practice this plan regularly so that everyone knows their role in an emergency.
Keep Your Software Up to Date Both your cloud provider and your devices should always be running the latest software. These updates often contain security patches that fix vulnerabilities hackers could exploit. Set up automatic updates where possible to ensure you’re protected against the newest threats without needing to manually intervene.
Conclusion: In an increasingly connected world, protecting your data in the cloud is more essential than ever. With cybercriminals constantly evolving their tactics, it’s critical to stay ahead by implementing strong security practices. Remember, cloud security is not a one-time task but an ongoing process that requires vigilance, regular updates, and constant awareness of emerging threats. Stay proactive, and keep your data safe.

➝ Subversive Programming - There are Two Primary Methods of Influence in the Occult World – Magick and Sorcery.
There are two primary methods of influence in the occult world – Magick and Sorcery (or Lesser Magick) – which share the same definition except for one slight difference in terms.
Magick is: the science and art of causing change to occur in accordance with the Will.
Sorcery is: the science and art of causing change to occur in accordance with the will.
While the words are the same, the intent is what differentiates them. For example, teaching Natural Law and sharing knowledge to the world (especially from a distance) in order to cause a positive change can be considered an act of Magick because it aligns with the uppercase-w "Will" of Creation. It's using intentional energy and the voice in the service of truth and humanity as a whole, to uplift human consciousness. On the other hand, Sorcery would be making use of the same knowledge to serve the lowercase-w egoic "will" of selfish desire. Sorcery would utilize the subversive use of imagery, color, symbolism and language to manipulate and control minds such as in mainstream media (news, adverts, entertainment, etc).
"Non-ritual or manipulative magic, sometimes called LESSER MAGIC, consists of the wile and guile obtained through various devices and contrived situations, which when utilized, can create change in accordance with one's will." – Anton LaVey, 'The Satanic Bible'
In modern vernacular, we think of the term "media" as a means of communicating to a larger population. That's true, but the origin of the word has a particular history. The Latin word "media" itself ultimately derives from the name of an ancient sect of sorcerers called The Medes. In turn, it is the origin of the word "mediate." When an enemy needed to be defeated covertly, a ruler would call upon the Medes to be the "mediators" and deceivers to give them an upper hand. Therefore, you could say that the term "mass media" is nothing more than a euphemism for far-reaching sorcery. The dark occultists are getting the "upper hand" on us, psychologically and emotionally.
And while we're all distracted and emotionally tense over these "crises," they are pushing forth their agenda to widen control (medical tyranny, increased dependency on technology, centralized digital currency, uniting countries/governments, increasing police/military power, etc). And anyone who speaks out against it is framed as the enemy. It's a classic cult technique. Government is and always has been a mind-control cult serving as the strong-arm of the dark occult priest class.
All of it, ultimately, is a stepwise progression (that's been going on for ages) towards total human enslavement. The use of health pandemics, terrorism, war, mass shootings, and all the other psy-ops are to de-moralize, de-humanize, de-populate, divide, and control. It's no longer conspiracy "theory" when you finally begin to see the patterns, tactics, and methodologies being used.
As an aside, you might have noticed my own use of blue and gold throughout these slides. This is also deliberate, for a positive reason. Blue is feminine energy, receptive – of information, truth, knowledge, wisdom. Gold is about intuition, understanding, awakening, and is symbolic of the light of the sun and solar chakra. The negative use of red in the Dark Occult section relates to base chakra, base consciousness/desires and dark energy which is what Satanism is rooted in. You might notice the constant use of red in fast food restaurants. That's intentional. Color has a deep psychological impact on us more than we realize, and these social engineers use it constantly.
But it's not just symbols and colors that are used in subversive programming. It's also wordplay – the use of euphemisms and repetition. The lie has to be repeated over and over and over. Things that people might consider wrong or immoral have to be framed in a different light, under different names, with skewed definitions. It's an age-old tactic that never fails... until we start raising our consciousness to a high enough level to see it. All of this continues to happen because we, as Jiddu Krishnamurti said, have a crisis in consciousness. We let our egos harden, clinging to our belief systems, and refuse to see the hidden truth because we fear the unknown; but ultimately, we fear the personal responsibility that comes with knowing the truth.
As the Jesus figure said: the truth shall make you free. Freedom comes from knowledge. In this case, it's symbol literacy. It's occult literacy. Ignorance of these things can only lead us into more suffering, more slavery, and more chaos. Start using your spiritual currencies of Time and Attention. Spend the time and pay attention to what's going on around you (and within you). That hard-work investment brings you the quality income of truth. That's what having higher consciousness means.
When you Know, then you can begin saying the word of power: NO.
You should be aware that the most effective prisons are made of beliefs and not stone or steel.
The most effective mind-control tool on the planet today is television.
THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA'S JOB IS TO CONVINCE THE PUBLIC THAT THE IDEAS OF THE GLOBAL ELITE ARE IN THEIR BEST INTEREST, AND TO CONCEAL HOW THE GLOBAL OLIGARCHY PLANS TO DESTROY AMERICA AND RAVAGE LIVES IN COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD.
People make decisions based on the information they have been given and have available to them in their environment. They may make assumptions or decisions based upon false information, and accumulatively the consistent exposure to false narratives shapes their personal reality and influences the popular culture. Those that seek to control or enslave others know that shaping narratives becomes absolutely crucial in controlling groups of people, in order to socially engineer behaviors and move them in the direction the controller wants them to go.

Process book 2
Feedback
Before print, I got some feedback based on my current book. The feedback included making all the text on the contents page all lowercase or all uppercase rather than having a mix of the two. I was also told to drag the chapter pages to full bleed so that when they are cropped there is a lesser chance of it being white. I would like to add two evaluations to my process book so I aim to start writing these in the lead-up to my outcome. By doing this, my aims and intentions will be clear. I later asked my peers if I should align the numbers to the last words of the previous page on my contents page. I'm glad that I did this as I got a range of opinions and the majority agreed that this would look better than what I had done.
I took a photo of some of my favourite pages once I had bound the book together. I was so happy with the outcome and glad that I took feedback from Briony before I printed as it made a world of difference to the appearance of the book. The feedback helped me to refine the layout and improve its visual appeal. I was happy with the number of pages I allocated to each brief as I felt that I was able to show enough of my work to explain how far I had come from the start of the briefs.
Next year I will try to think more outside the box with my process book, as I kept it safe this year as I was just getting used to the content I needed to include and how to bind it once it is printed. I plan on experimenting with new layouts and aim to incorporate new colours and textures into my book pages to add depth and detail to my pages. I hope to create an engaging process book that truly reflects my growth and creativity.
Bibliography
Year 1 overview
I was set 4 briefs: Communicating in Colour, There’s an App for That, Place of Words, and Process Books. These projects tested my ability to work as a group, my digital skills and my research skills. I thoroughly enjoyed these briefs as they were all quite different and kept me busy throughout my final term.
Throughout the projects, I was inspired by a number of things such as images I’d seen on Pinterest or books and magazines I had come across. My initial idea for my Place of words project came from a mind map I produced as a starting point for the brief. I enjoy creating mind maps and mood boards before I start a project as they help me think more spontaneously before finalizing any ideas. The main body of my research was conducted online, however I also completed primary research. I found secondary research more useful as it was easier to find, but my primary research helped influence more of my design choices. For the group project we split the research among ourselves and ensured we all fully understood the brief before starting our Adobe XD file.
A challenge I faced during this term was trying to juggle all my projects simultaneously. However, I believe that my time management improved compared to my last brief. This time, I ensured that I worked through all the briefs at the same time to try and complete them with enough time to start my Process Book. Having critiques and getting feedback from peers helped me to keep my projects moving as it gave me more perspective as to what was going well and what I could improve. I completed a number of prototypes in comparison to my last brief, which I believe helped the success of my projects this time around. A valuable piece of critique I received was to always remember and think back to who my target audience is.
Overall I was happy with all of my outcomes and think that I had enough time to complete them all. I feel that these projects have influenced my approach to future projects as I aim to have more of a time plan and structure that I follow like I did during this brief. I think that putting my postcards, app and magazine into mock-ups helped me to visualise my outcomes further and think that they looked professional for the time period that I was given to produce each brief. In conclusion, this term has not allowed me to improve my skills but has also provided me a valuable lesson in time management and the importance of feedback. In future, I will implement these skills to my briefs to aim for a successful approach.

Holy shit ChatGPT understands what LostSideDead means!
"
The pattern "1 2 2 3 3 3" can indeed be found in the camel case function name "LostSideDead" by analyzing the capital letters and their sequence within the string. Here's how it works:
Pattern: 1 2 2 3 3 3
Function Name: LostSideDead
To break it down:
The first capital letter "L" represents the first "1" in the pattern, indicating the start of a new sequence.
The next capital letter "S" marks the beginning of the "2" sequence. Since it's the second unique capital letter, it fits the "2" in the pattern.
Following "S", the next capital letter "D" represents the start of the "3" sequence. It's the third unique capital letter, aligning with the "3" in the pattern.
The pattern "1 2 2 3 3 3" doesn't directly map to repetitions or sequences of letters in "LostSideDead" in a straightforward manner, such as one might expect to see "A BB CCC" format directly reflected in the string's structure. Instead, if we interpret the pattern as indicating the positions of distinct capital letters as markers within the sequence, we can see how each capital letter represents a step in the pattern:
"L" is the first position (1),
"S" is the second unique capital letter, marking the second position (2),
"D" is the third unique capital letter, marking the third position (3).
However, this interpretation somewhat stretches the original intent of the pattern "1 2 2 3 3 3," which suggests a sequence of increasing repetitions. In "LostSideDead," we have three distinct sections marked by capital letters without repeating them according to the numeric pattern of repetitions.
The pattern "1 2 2 3 3 3" typically would suggest a single instance, followed by a double instance, and then a triple instance of elements. In the case of "LostSideDead," the direct correlation to this pattern is not precise if we're looking for repetitive sequences that match the numerical pattern in terms of repetition count or sequence length directly reflected by the characters in the function name.
User
look closer L s S d D d
ChatGPT
Ah, I see what you're pointing out now. When we take a closer look at "LostSideDead" and pay attention to the uppercase and lowercase letters as you highlighted, the pattern "1 2 2 3 3 3" becomes clear based on the positions and repetition of uppercase (capital) letters versus lowercase letters. Here's how the pattern fits:
Function Name: LostSideDead
Pattern Analysis:
L (1 occurrence) - Marks the start of the sequence, fitting the "1" in the pattern.
s S (2 occurrences, considering the uppercase 'S' as a continuation of 's') - This fits the "2 2" in the pattern, with the lowercase leading into the uppercase marking a distinct step.
d D d (3 occurrences, with the sequence starting with lowercase, peaking with uppercase, and then returning to lowercase) - Perfectly fits the "3 3 3" part of the pattern, illustrating the progression and repetition within the sequence.
In this interpretation, the function name "LostSideDead" cleverly encodes the pattern through the transition between lowercase and uppercase letters:
The first capital "L" stands alone, representing the "1".
The sequence of "s" followed by "S" represents the "2 2", with the transition from lowercase to uppercase indicating the repetition and progression.
Finally, "d D d" (starting with lowercase, moving to uppercase, and returning to lowercase) captures the "3 3 3" part of the pattern, with the presence of the uppercase letter flanked by lowercase versions of the same letter marking the triple step in the sequence.
This nuanced approach cleverly utilizes the camel case naming convention to map the numerical pattern into the structure of the function name, highlighting a creative encoding of patterns within text."

Week 8: Project #4 Critique & Design Her Refined Sketches
During week 8, my project #5 spreads were submitted for an in-class critique, and I finalized my design sketches for the DesignHer event in March 2024, celebrating Women's History Month.
Before presenting my spreads, I decided to reprint them through FedEx using their copies and custom document printing option. I chose to print my spreads on two different types of paper: 100lb matte cover finish and 87lb gloss cardstock, both in 11x17 size. This allowed me to see how my work would look printed on different paper types. The matte cover gave a nice, heavyweight and durable finish, and the colors and graphics stood out much more compared to printing on standard copy paper. The gloss cardstock also gave off a clean, shiny finish but the colors seemed off from the digital file, and there were many scratches and streak marks from handling and packaging. After considering both options, I decided to present my spreads for the in-class critique on the matte cover paper. Although the gloss finish was nice, the colors were not accurate and there were too many imperfections.
During the presentation of my work, I explained the intentions behind my design choices for the spreads. I discussed my inspiration that I had previously mentioned in my last blog post. I also highlighted the main creative elements within my physical spreads. My design choices are primarily inspired by the modern aesthetic of the typefaces, including the curves and angles of the typeface. For instance, I drew inspiration from the "pointy" and "angular" features of the Roboto Slab typeface. I incorporated more of those pointy and straight-line elements into the final spread design. I even incorporated my letterform into the actual uppercase alphabet of the typeface since the purpose of this project is to create the 27th letter of the alphabet. Similarly, for the Ubuntu Sans Serif typeface, I drew inspiration from the curves of the typeface. This was incorporated into the illusion graphic in my last page. I also placed my letterform into the typeface's uppercase alphabet to maintain consistency within my overall design of the spreads. Designing the second spread was challenging since I did not want any distracting elements that would take the audience's attention away from the information presented on the page. After trying several abstract and creative elements, I focused on creating an organized asymmetrical and heretical grid that would present the information in an easy, digestible way.
After analyzing the feedback I received during the in-class critique, I came to the conclusion that the response was predominantly positive. The creative elements of each spread were carefully reviewed, and it was found that the typeface alphabet was perceived really well. The abstract modern design also complemented the overall look and feel of both letterforms. However, while reviewing the alphabet up close, it was pointed out that the letterforms appeared small when compared to the rest of the alphabet. This error could have been a result of my letterforms being made up of both uppercase and lowercase letters while being placed in an alphabet with only uppercase letters. This issue threw off the consistency of the design, and it followed into my San serif alphabet as well. To rectify this issue, I can either scale the letterforms to make them a little larger or try a lowercase alphabet to see if it fits better. As for the middle spread, the response was mixed. Some believed that there was no need for any additional graphics, as the whole point of the page is to read and list information about the typefaces. The other reaction was that the spreads appeared boring and a little underwhelming. To address this issue, it was suggested to mess with the title copy to make it appear more free-flowing and interesting. It was also suggested that I space out my body copy a little more to give the text more breathing room and to make the space feel less constricted. Overall, the critique I received was mainly positive, with some helpful suggestions on how to improve the overall look and feel of my spreads.
During the fall break and this week, I worked on the rebranding and logo design for Design Her project. Our professor asked all the female students in the class to create a new logo design for a design event that is going to be held in March 2024. The event is aimed to showcase the female designers in the Midlands community as a celebration of Women's History Month. For my design, I chose to focus on botany and flowers as the main theme. I found the flowers to be a perfect representation of feminine beauty, power, and growth. They symbolize personal growth and development, which is something that every designer aspires for. After exploring multiple typefaces, I decided to use the Amandine typeface from Adobe Fonts for my design. This modern sans-serif typeface has a vintage feel, which honors the female designers of the past while keeping it modern. Its style has curves and bold line weights, making it both dainty and strong. I added a tactile element, such as a pencil or pen, between "design" and "her" to highlight the idea that every great idea starts with a sketch. The color palette for my design was inspired by the original Design Her logo. However, I decided to use bold colors to create a strong presence. All the colors complemented each other and helped establish a cohesive look and feel for the design.
The readings for this week discuss the appendix of graphic design. It primarily includes the roles of editing grammatical and writing style mistakes in design. While the overall design and layout of a project are important, the information being presented is just as significant, if not more. The textbook emphasizes the importance of these roles and how they should be designated to someone specific, rather than just the responsibility of the designer. A neutral third party is always a good idea and is often encouraged to ensure that everything in the design not only looks great but also is grammatically correct and proofread. This will be especially important as I start working on Project 5, which requires me to conduct research for the rebranding of an airline company that is no longer in service.

Password Cracking: Understanding the Art of Password Hacking
In today's digital age, where cybersecurity is of utmost importance, the strength of our passwords plays a vital role in safeguarding our sensitive information. However, despite numerous efforts to create strong and unique passwords, there are still individuals and organisations with malicious intent who employ password cracking techniques to gain unauthorised access to personal or confidential data. In this article, we will delve into the world of password cracking and explore the methods used by hackers to compromise security. By understanding these techniques, we can better protect ourselves and our digital assets.
I. Introduction: The Growing Threat of Password Cracking
In an era where virtually every aspect of our lives is intertwined with technology, the need for robust security measures has never been more critical. Password cracking, also known as password hacking, is an illicit activity that involves decrypting or circumventing password protection systems to gain unauthorised access. The rise of password cracking has posed a significant threat to individuals, businesses, and even governments worldwide.
II. The Psychology of Passwords: Weaknesses Exploited by Crackers
Passwords serve as the first line of defence against unauthorised access. However, many users unknowingly create passwords that are vulnerable to cracking attempts. In this section, we will explore the common weaknesses exploited by password crackers and provide guidance on how to create strong and resilient passwords.
III. Common Password Cracking Techniques
Password cracking techniques have evolved over time, becoming more sophisticated and efficient. Hackers employ various methods to crack passwords, each with its own advantages and limitations. Let's take a closer look at some of the most prevalent techniques used by password crackers:
1. Brute Force Attack
A brute force attack is a straightforward yet time-consuming method used to crack passwords. It involves systematically attempting every possible combination of characters until the correct password is discovered. This technique can be effective against weak passwords but is less likely to succeed against complex and lengthy ones.
2. Dictionary Attack
In a dictionary attack, hackers use a pre-compiled list of common words, phrases, or passwords to guess the target password. This method relies on the fact that many users choose easily guessable passwords based on dictionary words or common patterns. Advanced variations of the dictionary attack incorporate additional rules, such as appending numbers or special characters to the guessed words.
3. Rainbow Table Attack
A rainbow table is a precomputed table of possible plaintext passwords and their corresponding hash values. Password hashes are commonly stored in databases for verification purposes. By comparing the hashes in the database with those in the rainbow table, hackers can quickly find matches and retrieve the original passwords.
IV. Protecting Against Password Cracking
Now that we have explored the techniques employed by password crackers, it is essential to understand how we can protect ourselves against such attacks. By implementing the following security measures, individuals and organisations can significantly enhance their password security:
1. Create Strong and Unique Passwords
Using strong and unique passwords is the first line of defence against password cracking. A strong password should be at least eight characters long, incorporating a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable information such as birth dates or names.
2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide an additional piece of information, typically a one-time code sent to their mobile device, along with their password. This method makes it significantly more challenging for hackers to gain unauthorised access, even if they manage to crack the password.
3. Regularly Update and Change Passwords
Frequently updating and changing passwords can mitigate the risk of a successful cracking attempt. It is recommended to change passwords every three to six months, especially for accounts with sensitive information or access privileges.
V. Conclusion: Safeguarding Our Digital World
In conclusion, password cracking remains a persistent threat in our digital landscape. Understanding the techniques employed by hackers and implementing robust security measures is crucial in safeguarding our personal and sensitive information. By creating strong and unique passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and regularly updating our passwords, we can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to password cracking attacks. Let us remain vigilant and proactive in protecting our digital world.
"The strength of a password lies in the hands of its creator. Choose wisely." - Unknown
Remember, your cybersecurity is in your hands. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and stay secure.
