Hello! Do you aspire to have a mad profession, but don’t know where to start since garden-variety biochemistry isn’t for you? Do you not have the expertise, are you simply bored with the premise, maybe looking to try something different?
Reasons aside, you’re in luck! Here are some alternative lesser-known mad professions for you to consider!
Actor
a classic
everyone loves the theater kid urge to throw an extravagant party which is actually a setup for an equally extravagant murder game!
and it’s all filmed to rewatch later
something about being doomed by the narrative except you are the narrative
General Artistry
so many options!!
costumes with colors that don’t exist
illustrations that slowly alter minds
cursed unknowable sculptures
animation creepypastas, but like, the real and better version this time!
websites that have no bottom, they scroll forever, and the more you scroll, the more things you Learn.
photographs from impossible perspectives
tattooists can even tattoo magic-infused designs into their skin for extra power and insight!
Programming
programming is already a hassle, why not draw power from it? it can’t possibly drive you crazier than the missing semicolons do!
Architecture
Everyone loves their non-Euclidean architecture, but no one ever stops to think who DESIGNED it. That special someone could be you!
CEO
Most CEOs are mad CEOs, so the term “mad CEO�� is usually redundant. If you become the CEO at any company that doesn’t have a double or single-digit number of employees, congratulations, you are considered mad by definition.
Spies and Detectives
They’re shady, mysterious, and have strange quirks. Surprisingly, mad spies are threatened and mad detectives are severely endangered as these professions are becoming more heroic in nature. The world needs more cutthroat spies and dishonest corrupt detectives.
Note: I do not recommend the similar Police Officer as a mad profession, simply because it’s boring and has no agency. Cops take orders and wear uniforms, the detective does things their own way and gets to have their own style all the time, all on their own.
Streamer/Youtuber/Social Media Influencer
Have you ever wanted to start a cult AND be caught up with the trends? Well now you can! It’s not like it’s that uncommon today anyways!
Writer (Fanfic)
Devote yourself to a god of someone else’s making and rip yourself apart! You can do it in cosplay! You can do it however you feel like it! Stories become legends become myths become gods, and at the center of it is you!
Mathematician
The numbers transcend mortal experience. When the universe dies, the numbers say how it will happen, and after it happens, the numbers remain; unmoving, unchanging, uncaring.
Linguist
Have you ever seen people locked in an unfurnished room for years with monolingual speakers of entirely different languages to study the unique pidgin language they create as they learn to communicate? Well, now you will!
Chiropractor
It’s not like these people are even doctors. You don’t need a general medical degree to practice it and the guy who invented it said he learned it from a ghost. Why not go into it with the intention of breaking as many bones as possible?
Taxidermist
nonsensical stuffed dead animal monsters.
yeah that’s it, but it’s worth it.

File: The Mist
SCP#: ABB
Code Name: The Mist
Object Class: Apollyon Nexus
Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Hades-3 “Mist Busters” is responsible for maintaining and guarding SCP-ABB at Site-AD. SCP-ABB-1 is contained within the entirety of level 20 of the Site which ranges [data expunged] allowing a basic ecosystem of SCP-ABB-2 instances to exist. The entrance to level 20 is an elevator guarded by a small, fortified building within the level. This building stands 20 meters tall and 60 meters wide and acts as a security outpost, an observation post, and science lab. The entrance is guarded by automated sentry guns and AFA-2's armed with laser rifles. Only Foundation staff with level 3 clearance or higher are allowed to enter this level or take samples of SCP-ABB-2 instances.
MTF Hades-3 is to act as a last defense should SCP-ABB-2 instances infiltrate the building and the elevator. If for any reason SCP-ABB-1’s stability goes haywire all Foundation staff are to evacuate Site-AD and MTF Hades-3 is to go to SCP-ABB-1 and either stabilize or destroy it. For whatever reason none of the SCP-ABB-2 instances like to go near SCP-ABB-1 once they have entered our reality. So in such a scenario MTF Hades-3 will not have to worry about being surrounded until it is time to retreat.
Description: SCP-ABB is an alternate dimension that bled into our world because of an experimental dimensional rift device created by rogue personal within the US military. Regarding SCP-ABB, it consists of two components being SCP-ABB-1 and SCP-ABB-2. SCP-ABB-1 is the dimensional rift device, standing 60 inches tall and wide. When active it has the ability to create a square portal standing 20 x 20 meters but has the potential to grow larger. Though SCP-ABB-1 itself is relatively harmless; it is responsible for the existence of SCP-ABB-2 instances. 
SCP-ABB-2 instances are a wide variety of creatures that belong to the natural ecosystem of the original dimension SCP-ABB-1’s portal is accessing. SCP-ABB-2 instances seem to be similar to animals and bugs found on earth. However, SCP-ABB-2 instances are not only larger but much more grotesque and horrific looking than their earth counterparts. Unfortunately, along with the SCP-ABB-2 instances, SCP-ABB-1 floods a large and thick mist into our world which seems to be the common atmosphere of their original dimension. From what we can tell the SCP-ABB-2 instances came from a world of constant fighting and survival and as a result are violent to all forms of life here on earth. Their violent way of life has made them naturally grow a number of anomalous abilities such as spinning acidic webbing, possessing venom that naturally gives spontaneous cancer growths, and the ability to be completely silent despite having large bodies. It is unknown how many SCP-ABB-2 species exist though it’s suspected to be almost equal to the amount of species here on earth. 
SCP-ABB was discovered in 2007 and was originally considered an XK Class End-of-the-World Scenario anomaly due to its area of effect's spontaneous growth. Foundation agents within the US government reported a containment breach at the [data expunged] facility on the top of the mountain [data expunged] of [data expunged], Louisiana. SCP-ABB was created by a rogue faction of PENTAGRAM when they foolishly established project Arrowhead. For those that don’t know PENTAGRAM is a highly classified military branch of the US that focuses on combating anomalous and occult threats. However, this rouge faction wanted more power, and it was their stupidity and greed that allowed SCP-ABB to not only manifest but get out of control. Everyone on the mountain died and unfortunately so did the Foundation agents though so did the rogue faction of PENTAGRAM. However, the growth of SCP-ABB's area of influence was so spontaneous that containment was almost declared impossible. The area of influence grew to about 200 km before the Foundation was able to surround and suppress the growth. 
The surrounding towns and cities of the incident were unfortunately in full view of the event. Mobile Task Force Gamma-5 “Red Herrings” worked around the clock to suppress all memory and mention of the event while the Foundation moved in. Due to the massive area of effect progress was slow and thus when the Global Occult Coalition moved in to assist, the Foundation accepted their help. It took four days to suppress SCP-ABB's area of effect, in that time over a hundred survivors were found and given Class G Amnestics.
The cover story was that the mist was a toxic gas cloud created from a chemical spill from a U.S. military experiment gone wrong, technically not a lie. Normally the Foundation doesn't pin the blame on lesser organizations like the U.S. government. However, superiors of both the Foundation and the GOC agreed it was proper punishment for allowing a rouge faction of PENTAGRAM to exist in the first place.
Agent [data expunged] was on a covert mission to assist in evacuation of civilians. However, her area was hit by SCP-ABB's area of effect before evacuation orders could be given. Though she was able to record her experience with a group of survivors before her eventual rescue by the Global Occult Coalition. Please see Addendum X-5 for details.

Natural Remedies and Home Treatments for Fungal Nail Infections: Separating Fact and Fiction
Introduction:
Fungal nail infections, also known as onychomycosis, are a prevalent illness that affects millions of individuals worldwide. They develop as a result of fungal infiltration of the nail bed, which causes brittleness, thickness, and discoloration. Despite the fact that chronic infections can be difficult to cure and persistent, many people use home remedies and natural therapies. Do they, however, genuinely function? In order to sort truth from fantasy, let's investigate some of the most well-liked choices and look at the science underlying them.
Tumblr media
1. Tea Tree Oil: Reality
Tea tree oil is a well-known essential oil that has strong antifungal and antibacterial effects. It is effective in treating fungal infections, especially mild to moderate instances of onychomycosis, according to several studies. Active ingredients like terpinen-4-ol have the ability to stop fungus development and enhance the look of nails. • To use, dilute tea tree oil with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, and apply directly to the afflicted nail twice daily. Keep up your consistency because it can take a few months to see benefits. • Scientific Support: According to a research in the Journal of Family Practice, there are situations where using 100% tea tree oil works just as well as over-the-counter antifungal medications.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar: A fictitious remedy
Because of its acidic properties, apple cider vinegar (ACV) is frequently praised as a home cure for a variety of illnesses. Although some people think it can kill fungus by changing the pH of the nail and the skin around it, there isn't much scientific data to back up its efficacy in treating fungal nail infections. • How to Use: It's suggested by many to soak the afflicted nails for half an hour every day in a solution made of equal parts ACV and water. • Scientific Backing: Although ACV may have antibacterial qualities, there is less evidence to support its effectiveness in treating fungal nail infections. It is unlikely to get rid of the fungus, but it could help soften nails and lessen Odour.
3. Vicks VapoRub: Fact (with Limitations)
Surprisingly, Vicks the VapoRub, a mentholated topical lotion, has demonstrated efficacy in treating fungal nail infections. Some of its components, such as camphor and menthol, have some degree of antifungal activity. Applying Vicks VapoRub to diseased nails may eventually enhance appearance and slow the spread of fungi, according to a few modest studies. • How to Use: Bandage the injured nail overnight after applying a tiny dose of Vicks. Do this every day. • Scientific Support: A 48-week research in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine revealed that 83% of Vicks users had changes in their nail look; nevertheless, total removal of the infection is not certain.
4. Baking Pop: Untruth
Because of its capacity to absorb moisture and inhibit the growth of fungi, baking soda is frequently promoted as a natural cure. Its ability to actively cure pre-existing infections is unknown, while it could aid in avoiding fungal infections by keeping the region dry. • How to Use: It's common advice to mix baking soda and water to make a paste, which should then be applied to the affected nail. Soaking the afflicted nail in a solution of baking soda and water is an additional choice. • Scientific Basis: Although baking soda may theoretically have some antifungal qualities, there isn't much evidence to support its efficacy in treating fungal nail infections.
5. Oregano Oil: A Partial Fact
Thymol, an antifungal substance found in oregano oil, has the ability to stop the growth of fungi. Anecdotal evidence points to potential advantages, however study on the subject is still in its early stages, and treatment efficacy may be inferior to that of alternative options. • To use, dilute oregano oil with carrier oil and apply to affected nails daily. • Scientific Support: Although oregano oil's antifungal properties were shown in a research published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology, it hasn't been thoroughly investigated in relation to nail infections.
6. Garlic: Fiction
Garlic is well-known for its antifungal and antibacterial effects, which are attributed to the component allicin. While it may be useful in specific infections, such as athlete's foot, it is ineffective in treating more chronic fungal infections, such as onychomycosis. • Application Methods: Crushed garlic can be applied directly to the afflicted nail, or nails can be soaked in oil flavored with garlic. • Scientific Basis: Although garlic may have antifungal properties in a laboratory context, there is insufficient clinical data to support garlic's effectiveness in treating fungal nail infections.
7. Coconut Oil: Reality (as a prophylactic precaution)
Caprylic acid, found in coconut oil, has inherent antifungal qualities. It may not be potent enough to cure current fungal infections, but it can serve as a barrier that prevents fungus from spreading to healthy nails. • How to Use: Every day, dab a little coconut oil over the skin around your nails. It works very well when used with other antifungal medications. • Scientific Backing: Coconut oil has antifungal characteristics, especially against Candida species. However, there is minimal study on its effectiveness for treating nail fungus. It works best when utilized in addition to other treatments.
8. Hydrogen Peroxide: Untrue (for nails with fungus)
Hydrogen peroxide is a common household disinfectant that is frequently marketed as a cure for fungal diseases. While it can destroy certain fungi on surfaces or in skin abrasions, its efficacy in treating nail fungus is debated.
• How to Use: Some advice using hydrogen peroxide straight to the damaged nails or soaking nails in a diluted solution.
• Scientific Support: Although hydrogen peroxide is unlikely to pierce far into the nail bed, where the fungus lives, it could aid in disinfecting the nail's surface. There is not enough evidence to back its claim that it can treat fungal nail infections.
Final thoughts
Natural therapies can provide comfort and, in some situations, assist control fungal infections; however, they are not always successful on their own. For persistent or severe diseases, combining home remedies with professional medical care may produce the greatest outcomes.
Conclusion:
Natural remedies and home treatments for fungal nail infections can be used as part of a larger treatment strategy, but they are not cure-alls. You may set reasonable expectations and make well-informed judgements if you are aware of the facts underlying each solution. Whether you use home treatments or seek expert assistance, patience and consistency are essential for attaining healthy, clean nails.

Non Opioid Pain Treatment: Alternative Pain Management Solutions Beyond Opioids
Tumblr media
As concerns rise regarding the ongoing opioid epidemic, researchers, doctors and patients are increasingly seeking out non opioid pain treatment options for managing chronic pain. A variety of alternative therapies exist that can provide relief without the risks of addiction associated with prescription opioids. Physiotherapy and Non Opioid Pain Treatment Physiotherapy focuses on movement and manual therapy techniques like massage and spinal manipulation to relieve pain and improve mobility. For conditions like back pain, physiotherapy has been shown to be as effective as medication for providing short-term relief and preventing future episodes. Exercise programs, when developed with a physical therapist, can also help strengthen muscles and improve flexibility. Both aerobic and strength training have benefits for arthritis, fibromyalgia and other pain sources. When practiced regularly, exercise serves as a natural pain reliever and stress reducer. Psychological Therapies Our mental state significantly impacts how our brain perceives and responds to global non opioid pain treatment. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches patients pain coping strategies along with relaxation and mindfulness practices. Studies find CBT as useful as medication for reducing chronic pain. Hypnosis and biofeedback are also psychological methods showing promise. By gaining more control over stress levels and negative thoughts, these therapies can enhance self-management of ongoing pain. Acupuncture This ancient Chinese practice uses thin needles inserted into specific points on the body. While not fully understood, it's thought acupuncture stimulates the release of natural pain-relieving endorphins and serotonin. Multiple clinical trials demonstrate acupuncture provides relief equal to or better than drugs for certain types of pain like back and neck pain, headaches, osteoarthritis and dental pain. It tends to have minimal side effects and works well as an adjunct or alternative to medications. Supplements and Non Opioid Pain Treatment Diet and lifestyle choices affect pain levels, and supplements may offer targeted support. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil help reduce inflammation and joint stiffness from arthritis. Glucosamine and chondroitin promote cartilage repair for joint pain. Topical creams with menthol, capsaicin or camphor work as gentle counterirritants. Herbs like turmeric, devil's claw and willow bark are also being studied extensively for their anti-inflammatory properties. A healthy, balanced diet is fundamental for naturally managing chronic pain. Low-Level Laser Therapy This treatment involves exposure to specific wavelengths of light which stimulate healing processes in cells and tissue. Researchers continue to uncover its benefits for various pain conditions. One review found it as effective as NSAIDs or exercise for knee osteoarthritis pain. Another found it may relieve neck pain from injuries or arthritis. Others report positive results for plantar fasciitis, dental pain and more. Laser therapy is thought to regulate inflammation and encourage tissue regeneration with little to no side effects. Support Groups and Alternative Medicine Connecting with others in similar situations can help manage the mental and social aspects of ongoing pain. Support group meetings provide education on treatment options as well as empathy from peers. Alternative medicine specialists like chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists and naturopathic doctors can also assist with care plans combining manual manipulation, energy work, supplements and lifestyle changes tailored for each individual. An integrated approach using a combination of treatment modalities usually provides the most complete relief. Get More Insights On, Global Non Opioid Pain Treatment

What is topaz in jewelry?
Tumblr media
The word "topaz" is believed to originate from the Greek roots Topázios or Topázion, passing through Old French: Topace and Latin: Topazius, derived from the word Τοπαζος, which was the ancient name for the island of St. John in the Red Sea, where yellow gems (now believed to be chrysolite: pale yellow olivine crystals) were originally mined.
The term "topaz" was first used to refer to the modern gemstone in 1737. Ancient Sri Lanka (Taprobane) exported topaz to ancient Greece and Egypt, leading to the similar naming of the island by Alexander Polyhistor (Topazius) and ancient Egyptians (Topapwene), meaning "land of topaz."
Pliny stated that Topazos was a legendary island in the Red Sea, where the "topaz" gem was first found. Alternatively, the word "topaz" may be related to the Sanskrit word तपस् "tapas," meaning "heat" or "fire."
Topaz is a type of gemstone. When cut and polished, it is used for making jewelry or other decorative items. Low-quality topaz is often used as an inexpensive material because of its hardness, and it is used to produce fire-resistant materials for high-temperature environments. Topaz can be used as a flux in steel production.
Using topaz as a fire-resistant material may cause health and environmental problems, as the combustion process of topaz can release fluorine as a by-product.
Topaz is ranked as the second category of gemstones or semi-precious stones, along with aquamarine, morganite, and tourmaline. In contrast, the first category of gemstones or precious stones includes ruby, sapphire, diamond, and peridot.
Is a topaz stone valuable?
Tumblr media
The price of topaz, like other gemstones, depends on quality. However, some general statements can be made. Blue topaz, which is the variety most commonly seen in jewelry today, is produced in such large quantities that it currently generally sells for around $25 per carat at retail prices for ring sizes. Larger sizes may be slightly more expensive. Although natural blue topaz exists, the production of large quantities of treated blue topaz has driven the prices of natural blue topaz to equal that of treated blue topaz. Smaller sizes and lower qualities can be less expensive.
Colorless topaz, the raw material for producing blue topaz (by irradiation and heat treatment), comes in sizes of 100 carats or more and sells for less than $8 per carat. Brown topaz has prices similar to these.
How can you tell if a topaz is good?
A high-quality topaz will have a vivid, even color, be eye-clean, and well-cut, and come with proper documentation regarding its authenticity and any treatments. Understanding these factors will help you make an informed decision when evaluating a topaz.
What color of topaz is most valuable?
The most valuable and sought-after color of topaz is imperial topaz, a rich orange color with reddish-pink or yellowish tones. This vibrant hue is caused by trace amounts of chromium and iron impurities in the gemstone's chemical composition.
the distinctively beautiful color and the rarity of its production sources make imperial topaz one of the most precious and expensive colors of topaz.
Tumblr media
Conclusion
Topaz is a gemstone that has been known and valued since ancient times. The name is believed to originate from the Greek word "topazios" or "topazion", referring to an island in the Red Sea where yellow gems were originally mined (now thought to be chrysolite).
Topaz comes in various colors, with blue being the most common variety used in jewelry today. While large quantities of treated blue topaz have made it relatively inexpensive, the rarest and most valuable color is imperial topaz, which has a rich orange hue with reddish-pink or yellowish tones.
The value of topaz depends on several factors, including color, clarity, cut, and size. High-quality topaz should have a vivid, even color, be eye-clean (free from visible inclusions), well-cut, and come with proper documentation regarding its authenticity and any treatments.

Why is Kant's moral philosophy our ethical standard in this era? Could somebody reply to it?
Objectivism is somebody’s reply to Kant’s moral philosophy in our era.
COMMENTARY:
Well, the short answer is that Kant’s moral philosophy is an explication of the ethics of Jesus, Kant’s moral philosophy is an enquiry into the kinetics of the irresistible grace of The One as it flows through the being in the world. Kike Hegel, Kant isn’t inventing anything, but building on the foundation of the epistemology revealed by the calculus of Newton that demonstrates to David Hume the nature of perception and the phenomenal construct that results from that apprehension of existence.
A metaphor I recommend to describe Kant and Hegel’s irresistible grace is the relationship of the Sun Flower to the Sun. If you have ever seen a field of Sun Flowers, their blossoms are always facing the sun and follow the sun’s arc through the course of the day. That’s the context of the Categorical Imperative.
Kierkegaard complained of the discontinuity of Kant’s mind and body duality without understanding that it represented a paradox, the point of paradox between the biological process of our existence and our cognitive processes being the Pucker Factor, or the fight-flight response to environmental challenges of requisite variety. The flow of what Henri Bergson calls the elan, or life force, is assumed by Kant and the biological processes are basically a life support system for the Categories. In this regards, Kant is mapping out the boundaries of Reason in the human consciousness and the point where the intuition of Faith forms the bridge between what we can demonstrate by Reason and the mind of God. based on the rigors established by Hume’s theory of perception and rules of evidence.
The a posterori analytic, the a priori analytic and the a posterior synthesis represents the realm of Metaphysical Knowledge made possible by Reason and represents the mechanism of the scientific method,
The source of a posterori analytic is from sensory input and the linguistic tags we have devised for labeling our sensory experience of the noumenal would, the “Thing in itself”. The source of A=A in our Phenomenal Reality is less significant that our capacity to systematically and consistently identify these phenomena with their existential stimulus
The source of the a priori analytic is considerably more dubious, but, through convention, we have found it useful to identify thinks like Pi that don’t exist except in our phenomenal reality as if they were existential in an A = A kind of way and then to blend the two categories by Reason in such a manner that a novel apprehension of the existential obtains, which we call Metaphysical Knowledge, Where the a priori comes from occurs beyond the boundaries of Reason where our imagination is drawn by irresistible grace to the mind of The One, which Plato nominates as the Realm of the Forms, or Ideas.
In this regards, all humans are created equal and are drawn by the same irresistible grace we share with Jesus to the Good, what ever that is. Kant describes the mechanisms of how we acquire the ethical standard of Jesus and posits that this ethical standard is the inevitable outcome of the pursuit of personal righteousness in the same way the Sun Flower is eternally oriented to the the Sun.
The significance of the epistemology of Gestalt Theory that Hume’s theory of perception exposes is that the figure and field dynamic is how perception actually works, universally, and it is the inerrant epistemology of the narrative of the Bible, both Hebrew and New Covenant. Kant’s moral philosophy is the ethical standard of the human condition and he is merely describing what mankind has inherited.
Nietzsche Ayn Rand’s Objectivism and Mein Kompf offer alternative epistemologies to Kant’s Categorical Imperative, which represents replies to the ethical standard of Kant’s moral philosophy. January 6 and the Final Solution are outcomes resulting from those replies in our era. It is useful to remember that the Cross is an endorsement of Socrates’ submission to the secular rule of law, without which democracy cannot persist.
At this moment, the ethical standard of Kant’s moral philosophy comes down to the 14th Amendment. The continued Conservative support for Trump’s presidential ambitions is what the Objectivist reply to Kant in our era looks like.

Altaurium
A material utterly core to our current existence, it is hard to imagine what a world without it may have looked like. While there are several varieties of altaurium, this documentation intends to cover the most common types, as well as similarities than exist between all variations. If you wish to know more about altaurium was initially created, you may wish to refer to literature on the Del'kheynfar. For security reasons, the mining and refinement of all types will only be covered in minimal detail. For more information on these, refer to [REDACTED], or inquire at your nearest IDNI office.
COMMONALITIES
All altaurium shares its most notable trait: the ability to impart force on its surroundings, although it is manifested to varying degrees. This force, known as altaurium shift, also necessarily applies a counterforce in the opposite direction, although with careful shaping and manipulation of the material these can both be directed to some extent. Shift is constantly exerted at a low level, with the energy spent resulting in gradual breakdown of the material, and varying degrees of radioactivity between all types. This natural "eating" can be slowed by placing the altaurium adjacent to other dense materials, but all altaurium will eventually be spent.
An alternative source of energy (and the one most commonly used) is electricity, owing to the much finer control it allows over shift. By varying the frequency and strength of electrical impulses as well as their direction, far greater shift can be exerted than natural levels, and directed more precisely. While natural shift has historically seen much use, this was reduced sharply by the newer method, with non-electrical shift being retained in certain niche applications.
TYPE-1 ALTAURIUM
By far the most common variety, Type-1 or stable altaurium has a dull metallic sheen and a slight gold colouration, and exhibits only weak, but consistent shift. Not broadly useful on its own, this type is nonetheless valued for its role as a precursor to other, more potent derivatives.
TYPE-2 ALTAURIUM
Type-2, or unstable altaurium is not found naturally in large amounts owing to its high rate of decay. It has a greater sheen and far richer colouration than Type-1, emitting a small amount of light on its own. Large amounts of Type-1 altaurium must be refined to produce it, making it highly prized and often jealously guarded. Its shift is considerably more potent than natural, and so it sees use in almost all applications - from home appliances to Vaikh-traveling warships. Radioactivity is sufficient to be harmful with prolonged exposure, so proper shielding and care must be given when working with it. This category also includes "double-enriched" unstable altaurium, although this variety is too inconsistent in its shift and has too short a half life to be required outside of very particular circumstances.
TYPE-3 ALTAURIUM
Although small amounts occur naturally, Type-3 largely exists as a by-product of Type-2 refinement. With a dark grey, almost black colouration, Type-3 altaurium is entirely lacking in shift and far denser than previous types. It sees broad industrial usage due to its equally high tensile strength and low cost, along with frequent employment as a component of various composites. As the majority output of any Type-2 refining will be Type-3 Altaurium, it is far less frequently a component of international trade; any group that could afford the transportation fees can likely afford their own basic refining infrastructure.
TYPE-4 ALTAURIUM
The properties of this material are not well understood, let alone its production, and I myself would not believe its existence were it not for a series of unfortunately classified recordings. Type-4 or exotic altaurium seemingly posses a negative mass, with the effects of its shift similarly inverted. I believe it is the secret to accessing the Seydanvaikh, and

          metamorphosis was neither a facile victory to achieve nor an exercise of convenience.
     WHEN  the time came for a decision to be made in the hellish bowels of arasaka, fervid  protest  had brashly contended against the notion of an engramic transfer: a dire gamble which heavily relied on the equivocal stability of the megacorporation's rumored cloning program and the mercenary's cerebral condition after excision. a verbal undertaking had already been pledged at the hotel pistis sophia, a  solemn  promise to voluntarily surrender the body to its rightful owner which was intended to be fulfilled. v was meant to take priority if their continued existence couldn't be mutually assured, each and every time; thus, a string of  imprecations  and astringent objections existed as their own variety of obstacles when v's route deviated to the lower levels' research and development department and forewent her arrival at mikoshi entirely. despite all qualms, however, the transfer proved to be a  serendipitous  success.
     at first, there had been  nothing  and then there had been  everything  all at once. the first breath necessitated a laborious effort, new lungs heaving under the direction of a new consciousness — a breath of life, for the first time in half a century. the cloned body felt so much heavier than his digital form but to take up physical space was a  luxury  no longer taken for granted; every limb and corporeal piece of him had weight to it and further to its benefit, the dysmorphia that he initially been present in his host's female form was noticeably absent. it felt  right  in the ways that mattered — as right as it  could  be in the circumstances.
     in the reflection of the bathroom mirror had he bore witness to a  ghost,  a reimagined memory of a young man who had fatuously volunteered himself to an  unwinnable  war effort. dark blond strands had neither been exhaustively acquainted with dye nor known liberation from routine trims, still virgin and all-natural during the body's extended term in stasis and thereafter. the stubble along his jaw showcased a mere few hours' worth of growth, and the entirety of him was unmarred by conflicts long since buried beneath history's ashes. for all intents and purposes had he been resurrected as a clean canvas, and the foreign sight was equally as  surreal  as it was  felicitous.
     in the end, despite previous attempts to secrete the former, robert linder and johnny silverhand had been  reborn  as an amalgamation.
     ❝  nah, i'm covered for now.  ❞   polished chrome revealed cigarette affixed between digits, expeditiously looted from evelyn parker's cigarette case to  christen  a fresh set of lungs and assert newfound  independence  over the vice. over time would addiction be gradually abated out of a vow of personal betterment but for now, a celebratory smoke was an apt means of festivity after their uproarious escape.   ❝  found it in the usual spot. figured what's mine is yours, and vice versa.  ❞
     out of rare respect for his counterpart was the window cracked open a little, enough to air out the smoke so she didn't feel mandated to  indulge  in his habit; she didn't have to humour him anymore, not if she didn't want to. lighter's flame ignited with a rehearsed click and hovered near the end of the cigarette, waiting for it to take before the top was shut with a snap of his wrist and subsequently returned in the same fluid motion. at their respective heights, it didn't escape his notice how her hand was now  dwarfed  by his own.
          even a passing touch felt electric.
     ❝  think i'll start feelin' more like myself once i get some fresh ink and a shit-ton'a hair dye. not used to looking like a fresh-faced youngblood, is all. thought that kid was dead and gone, rotted away to dust in that hotel room. funny that it's all come full circle again — still  leagues  better than the alternative, though.  ❞   sly rejoinder prodded without intent to maim, smile becoming a little broader in a bid to re-establish some semblance of  normality  between them.    ❝  you made the right call back there. a gonk-ass gamble, no two ways 'bout it, but fuck if it didn't actually pay off. you did good, v.  really.  ❞ 
     eye contact was broken to temporarily relieve her of his scrutiny, still unaccustomed to the  novelty  of seeing her at all angles without the aid of glass. from v's countenance to her idle mannerisms, every aspect of her contributed to a  resurgence  of interest which had to be mindfully moderated. the world was finally his to freely observe, to experience, and to engage with. there was simply no knowing whether the privilege would ever lose its luster and be reduced to mundanity but it ultimately didn't matter: v would always have his undying  gratitude  for the second chance.
     ❝  how's it been for you ?  figure it must be nice to have all that free space in your noggin. weird,  maybe, but nice.  ❞

shutting the door to the outside in her apartment felt almost deafening - crashing the reality of what they had managed to achieve finally falling down around her. and the exhaustion that seemed to be a permanent part of her being that clung to her bones made it hard for her to discern how she felt about it. relief - possibly. there was a sense of relief there, from the satisfaction of something finally going in her favor - of finally finding a victory in the sea of ruins that her life had become after the relic. relief, yes, that the ticking timer above her head wasn't quite as short. it was still there, but she bought herself years instead of possible just precious weeks. and - alone in her mind again, in her body, she didn't allow herself to think of the implications of walking that road alone now that her other occupant was no longer unwillingly chained to her side. he had his freedom - that was what they had both wanted, right? after johnny no longer looked like the monster under her bed with fangs and claws - after their connection slowly humanized him and she saw a man underneath. not a legend. not a monster -- johnny. she wanted him to have his second chance, and because of that she couldn't be upset if the relic became her issue alone. right? he had no duty to her, and she knew that. she would think about that later - she didn't have the energy to do so in the present moment. as the sounds of the shower pelting against the stall walls filled the small apartment, val busied herself with getting comfortable. stripping off her jacket and laying it over a chair near the door - removing her boots and tucking them to the side. she wanted to sit, and relax -- her body needed it. but her mind was restless. her mind was empty again, and it felt hollow. strange. like a part of her had been ripped out and she hadn't been prepared for the empty feeling that it would leave behind. like prying out out a tooth, or a bone. her and johnny were no longer impossibly entwined by code - once he was showered and whole, she found him sitting on the couch - and she couldn't help letting her eyes linger on him. she wasn't ogling - that wasn't it. sure, johnny was a conveniently attractive man - anyone with eyes knew that. hell, he probably knew that. no, that wasn't it. it was the startling appearance of the blank slate of his skin - lacking the scars and ink that she was so accustomed to decorating his skin in her head. he looked different, in more ways than one. he looked real, like his body actually took up space. like he wasn't about to flicker and glitch out of existence; like his lines held structure. the couch under him bowed under his solid weight, and she couldn't keep her eyes off him for the moment - her eyes lingering on his facial features; even his hair was different. his scruff, short and barely existent and lacking the patches of scar tissue along his jaw. but his eyes -- his eyes were the same. her expression was unreadable as she eventually crossed the room, sitting on the edge of the coffee table near him. because her own mind, picking apart whatever she had going on there, wasn't important at the moment. she could only imagine what was going on in his - what he was feeling. she takes a breath and speaks, looking up at him again to try and meet his eyes. "how do you feel? do you need anything?" her pantry lacked anything of luxury, but she at least could keep him from going hungry.

Premium Nuts, Seeds & Dry Fruits | Roasted & Raw - BoYo
WE ARE FOR YOUR HEALTH
Healthy lifestyle is a dream in today’s world. A dream that everyone is wondering to achieve and believe in. But what all gets stuck in, is the prior question, “Where to start from??” Maintaining a healthy body is now a necessity, and one of the best ones indeed. The global pandemic has already made us all suffer and realize our mistakes and laziness regarding the health and nutrition, that we were always denying to our bodies. But the high toll is more than enough already to make us all alert and awake.
Alter your lifestyle…
The busy technical world comes with lots of loopholes of it’s own. And one of the biggest ones is our lack of time and hectic lifestyle that eventually affects our health badly. And what’s worst is that we all know what the problem is, but aren’t ready to tackle it. What’s good with the pandemic is that it really made each and everyone scared about the possibility of a deteriorating health condition, of the basic bodily functions get tampered with. Eating healthy, diets, exercises, etc. are a different thing. But to alter your existing lifestyle according to your bodily as well as healthy compulsory needs, is a whole different game.
Think again
And to start with it all, its required to first ponder upon your food choices and think again before you take that next bite of those junks. Look around and find healthy snacking alternatives to munch upon, because cutting out completely on snacking, is something no one’s in the mood off. So it’s better that we search for something worth all the time, and give our health and ourselves a treat.

We often compromise..
Let’s not go far, rather see the various cases that comes every day due to eating unhealthy and of cheap quality. Be it your roadside nuts, dried fruits, seeds, open chips, biscuits and what not. Everything is available nearby all of us, and the lack of awareness and consciousness lead us all to make mistakes and compromise the quality of the food that we intake. We all have seen a number of flies, mosquitoes and insects o we the roadside food but still, can’t resist ourselves to go and have a bite. However when the consequences become drastic and almost out of hand, we then rush and feel guilty, since nothing remains other than regret. Regret to not have chosen healthy, regret to have overlooked the quality over other things, regret to not have pondered before eating.
Better late than never!
However it’s better late than never. With increasing cases of illnesses and severe chronic diseases such as obesity, heart strokes, blood pressure, and a lot more, what has interestingly increased is the health consciousness and a desire to live life healthily and happily. People are really looking forward to lead an active lifestyle, and to start with they are now really double checking and thinking deeply twice about their eating habits and choices.

AU(s) where all the mod videos Tommy does, along with some other videos, are all alternate universes, and their residents end up in the SMP. Chaos ensues. 
Voice Mod AU:
Universe where nobody talks aloud. They telepathically communicate, and the closer you are, the clearer and louder you are, unless you have the control the lower your mental voice.
Why?
Post-apocalyptic world(because Tommy said welcome to the new world at the start, and I too that and ran with it). They’re the new versions of humans, created after life returned on the planett, and the telepathy is a survival method, because outward noise draws predators, inner noise does not. 
This also means they possibly have some other features similar to that. Like maybe Quackity’s duck wings being from some newly evolved duck species in the new world, Wilbur being a bit abnormally tall, or similar. I’m not sure. 
Oh hey, no, Wilbur can be like a tree hybrid or something, cause Treebur. 
Basically, evolution and telepathy.
Wilbur has a horse named Bert, he is speedy, and spends just as much time dragging his owner out of trouble than he does riding him into it.
The gang is basically just traveling the lands, exploring what’s about.
There are fish-horses, ender-horses, spider-horses, silverfish ponies, and horses that are somewhat like a breed between llamas and sheep in the world.
There are a lot of new horse breeds.
The Quackity of this universe wears clothes a lot like Manhunt Dream’s, hoodie-wise, but it’s all bright blue, and his mask has the :] face on it.
Size Mod AU:
Universe where people can shift and change sizes, though only to certain ones.
For example, Wilbur’s stuck small. He can shift to the size of a small dog, height wise, or that of a flower, but he can’t get big. Quackity can go smaller than Wilbur, or literally bigger than the Enderdragon. Both Tommy can be normal sized, or big, and Phil’s can be about the size of a tree, or become the size of a small mountain. 
They all live in a nice house in the plains and spend their time terrorizing the locals.
Wilbur has a little house within the house, and he uses his size to cause havoc more often than not. Quackity is equally guilty of this.
Sometimes when the kids are being particularly bad, Phil puts the smaller ones in a compost bin and holds Tommy off the ground until he starts behaving. 
Quackity’s a follower of the Blood God. Not to Techno’s length, but he goes and kills rabbits for him, and dedicates the chaos his giant form causes to the guy. In return, the four always have a flourishing harvest, and Quackity’s absolutely mean in battle. 
Wilbur sleeps in one of Tommy’s old shoes that he stole and made into a bed.
Honestly, Wilbur’s kind of like the house mouse. He steals stuff and vibes in his little home in the walls. The cats that occasionally slip in try to eat him a lot too.
Wilbur and Quackity are bird hybrids, Tommy’s a zombie hybrid(cause he’s fighting a zombie and saying ‘I burn’ at that little bit), and Phil’s an iron golem hybrid.
Quackity and WIlbur have little bird-houses set up around the area for them to dart into and hide if anything comes after them.
They all met when tiny Q and Wilbur tried to rob Tommy and Phil. They succeeded with Tommy, but Phil was less than impressed at the attempt. Somehow it resulted in them all sharing a house.
Dragon Mod AU:
Universe set in more medieval-themed world. Phil, Quackity, and Tommy are dragon hunters. Wilbur’s a mischievous dragon sorcerer who enjoys shapeshifting into a dragon to mess with people. The hunters were originally sent after him, but spent more time frantically running for their lives while he laughed at them.
Wilbur’s actually good friends with the actual Enderdragon, who he calls Keithette. It was with her blessing that he decided to pick on the hunters.
He just spends all of his time messing with them. That’s all he does. He messes with them. It’s originally more malicious, which means they had a ridiculous amount of deaths, but they eventually all grew fond of each other, so now it’s more playful. 
He helps them find treasure and scares off rivals. 
Tommy’s a trained medic. 
Quackity and Wilbur are...something? It’s a Skephalo situation. They could just be very affectionate friends, or they could be dating, or they could be messing with everyone. Nobody knows, and everytime they think they’ve figured it out, the two seem to magically know and do something to throw them off.
They’ve confused many, many people with their antics. 
(They’re probably messing with people though, because they definitely know what they’re doing)
When the actual Enderdragon and her egg mysteriously went missing, Wilbur rounded up his friends and asked for their help in finding her-so now the group is on a quest to find her and return her to the End.
Natural Disaster Mod AU:
Universe where world ending natural disasters just keep happening. It killed off a lot of people, but honestly, at this point, it’s been going on for years, and those that remain are pretty used to it.
Tubbo and Wilbur are followers of the Mule God, and were brought together by him. Jack and Tommy are two good friends who came together to survive. And Phil’s a top-tier survivalist who keeps an eye on the four, mostly because he’d feel bad if they died too often while they live in the area.
Though they’re all three different groups, they stick together and help each other out.
Tommy and Tubbo were childhood friends before the disasters separated them. A young Jack found Tommy and took him in, and Tubbo was saved and blessed by the Mule God. They’re still friends, but have somewhat grown apart with their differing lifestyles. 
Tommy’s a penguin hybrid. 
Tubbo and Wilbur have been known to try and scam people passing by, and they have tried this with everyone in the area too-the difference is the ones who stick around know better than to buy it. 
Whenever Tommy wants to hang out, he declares he’s rescuing Tubbo, and steals him from whatever he’s doing. Wilbur has long since accepted that occasionally Tubbo is going to be stolen, and doesn’t even blink anymore. 
Tommy wears green, and Tubbo wears red. 
Storm riding is a favored sport of Tubbo’s, where you grab a hang glider and get swept up into the storm. Jack hates it, but often gets dragged along anyway. 
Morph Mod AU:
Universe where shapeshifters are more common, and Tommy, Charlie, Phil, Schlatt, and Wilbur are all a clan of them. 
They co-exist with humans, and actually protect the local villages they live close too. 
They also spend a lot of time messing with people outside said villages, but that’s unimportant. 
Charlie and Wilbur prefer to be aquatic creatures. while Phil transforms into whatever works better for the environment he’s in. Schlatt just does whatever, and Tommy usually sticks to human form, only shifting when he’s bored or he needs too. 
Wilbur tried to transform into a horse once, while in fish form. He’s not sure what exactly happened, but long story short, he’s the reason for the myth of the hippocampus.
They have a house in the village, one out, and then general little areas meant for them in animal form. 
Because shapeshifters are strongly group-oriented, they prefer to shift in pairs or groups. Charlie and Wilbur typically pair up, as do Schlatt and Tommy. Philza doesn’t really have that instinct as strongly, so he just stays close to them instead. 
Laser Eye Mod AU:
Universe set in a futuristic setting, where, due to an ancient void deity becoming malicious, Tommy, Phil, Charlie, and Wilbur are selected to become plasma wielding cyber warriors(futuristic magical girls, basically) to fight back against such threats.
These four’s cybernetics were embued with magic to produce specific plasma that would be effective against threats.
Phil wields divine plasma, and it’s fired out from his cybernetic wings, which were implanted as a military experiment. He can even detach a feather to act as a plasma covered sword.
Tommy wields phoenix plasma, and it’s fired out of his cybernetic eyes, which were transplanted into him when he was in an accident young, rendering him blind. They allow him to see by scanning out the outlines of objects and areas, and feeding the image into his brain.
Wilbur wields soulfire plasma, which is fired from his prosthetic legs, which have a kind of mermaid-motif, with fins and all, and make him a fast swimmer.
And Charlie wields greekfire plasma, fired from his cybernetic arm-it can also fire slime-like globs that rapidly grow and incase the area they’re attached too. 
Wilbur was actually the first selected for the program, but he went missing shortly after, stolen and controlled by the void deity, who turned him into quite the obstacle for the others.
They eventually rescued him from it’s control, and after he recovered, he joined the fight. 
Endermen and endermen hybrids are common minions of the void deity-it seems to have End-based origins, being able to control them.
Lava Ravine Mod AU:
Universe where Phil, Charlie, Wilbur, and Tommy are all strangers, who get a mysterious invite to an unknown world. It seems like a lovely vacation at first, strangers aside, but things turn deadly when a seemingly normal ravine in the ground begins to grow, the lava inside it begins to rise, and our heroes find themselves unable to leave the world.
They soon realized they may have been selected for their ability to survive, but to do that, they’re going to have to all work together.
Tommyinnit originates from the world of RLcraft, Phil grew up in Hardcore Mode, Charlie is a fallen god from a world of chaos, and Wilbur has lived through a world like this before.
They build a giant glass and stone dome, and live within there, using their various skills to survive. 
Wilbur pretty much knows how this world works to a T, and is able to predict when the lava will raise and how quickly. He knows how to survive and work around the heat.
Tommy and Phil have a variety of skills from their lives before, not limited to first aid and cooking.
And Charlie’s got a bit of godly power he can put to good use here, as well as many out-of-the-box ideas for what to do.
Charlie brought a card-game from his old world, and teaches Wilbur how to play. It becomes a favorite past time of theirs. 
Jump Mod AU:
Universe where enhanced individuals have recently begun to exist. Tommy, Wilbur, and Quackity are some of many who choose to use their new abilities for their own gain, becoming thieves. They were taken under the wing of master thief Philza, who was in the game long before he gained his new powers.
Or, well, they were thieves. A job gone wrong resulted in them being caught by authorities, and forced into a deal. Once thieves for their own gain, now they’re agents for the government, stealing back what was stolen from their country. 
All of them are generally more physically enhanced, with agility, endurance, and all that jazz. But they also have other abilities. 
Tommy’s faster than anyone. Wilbur can refract light, essentially becoming invisible. Phil can communicate with birds. And Quackity can change the density of anything he touches, himself excluded. 
Philza was actually caught because he stayed behind for his new partners. He had realized someone was looking into them, and didn’t want the younger ones going into that alone. 
TNT Mod AU:
Universe where everyone is a mob hybrid, and they live divided in tribes. Tommy, Phil, Charlie, and Wilbur are a tribe/keg of creeper hybrids, who protect their territory, and cause havoc for any trespassers who happens upon them.
No one dares settle there, because these four are just as likely to swear a village’s protection as they are to laugh as they set it ablaze. It’s purely up to how they feel at the moment, finicky keg that they are. 
However, there is a reason some do venture here. 
Every tribe/(name for grouping of specific mob) guards a certain treasure. For the creeper boys, it’s an orchard of apple trees that grow, not only red apples, but gold ones too-and rarely, a god apple.
If you do happen to stumble upon their territory unintentionally, your best bet is to appeal to Wilbur, as he does have a soft spot for people-of course, you’ll need to make sure none of the others think you’re taking advantage of that soft spot, lest they slowly and painfully kill you for even considering it.
Creepers are very friendly to them, and see them as one of their own. Other mobs, not so much.
The orchard is surrounded by a dense forest, that’s abruptly lets up to a clearing that rings around it. This is where the keg lives, in high tree houses all connected to one another.
Their forest is their pride and joy, and it’s filled with many exotic trees and plants from around the world. Bringing them an addition for it is a sure way to assure your survival, and even gain an alliance, if it’s a really good addition.
Likewise, messing it up even slightly will immediately get you murdered.
Black Hole Mod AU:
Universe where the sun exploded and became a black hole that’s slowly consuming the world. Though many perished, some survived, with the advanced technology in the future.
Wilbur, Charlie, Phil, and Tommy are some of those survivors. 
Charlie is a scientist, studying the black hole to see if there’s anyway to perhaps stop it, or survive within it once it consumes them.
Phil’s a former mercenary who came to the lab with Tommy, after finding the young student stumbling about the remains of a city.
Wilbur’s the former on-board scientist from the crew that first encountered the black hole. He was originally presumed dead, but suddenly reappeared one day, and was found nearby by Phil, who dragged him to the lab. He’s...different. He’s seen things.
Charlie and Wilbur graduated from the same university, and were actually working in the same lab before Wilbur joined his crew in space for an up-close study.
Philza has a bad habit of adopting any creature he finds, and it’s become something of a joke by the four. He adopted Tommy, he’s adopted Wilbur and Charlie, and he has quite a few birds and other creatures that followed him back.
Body Shuffle Mod AU:
Universe where glitches a common sight, and humanity has evolved alongside them.
The world basically...well, I wouldn’t say revolves around? But glitches are a large part of life at this point, and players have specifically evolved to be able to work with them.
A common glitch includes the Body Glitch, where random body parts will seemingly vanish off a person without causing them harm or effecting them.
Tommy and Charlie are Takers, people who have a special, glitch-specific gene that allows them to take a glitch effecting a being or item, and pull that effect from said being/item, and upon themselves.
They’re equally loved and hated, considering the rarity of the gene, and what uses it could be employed for.
The two have a business that they use this ability to take and relocate glitches for various purposes.
Philza and Wilbur are the two’s bodyguards turned friends, who protect them from less savory people, and suss out the ones with bad intentions.
Gas Mod AU:
Universe set in a modern fantasy world where a mysterious gas suddenly overtook the planet. Many died. A few survived-but for some of them, that was the crueler fate, as the mysterious gas began to make them monsterous creatures that sought flesh and blood.
Tommy, Charlie, Phil and Wilbur are the scattered survivors in a city overtaken by the gas, banding together to fight back the monsters born from the green fog, and stay alive. 
Wilbur was formerly a cartographer on a ship. He’s also half siren, and his most priceless possession is a diamond dagger given to him by his former captain.
Charlie is a doctor, as well as a wizard. His magic pet is a slime-like dragon. Yeah, he’s not sure where the little guy came from either.
Phil got a whole cocktail of heritage, but most are sky-related, so he’s got a strong grasp on air magic, which he uses to create safe bubbles for the gang to breathe freely.
And Tommy’s a low tier human-turned demon after death- an imp, basically. He causes havoc.
They all have to wear gas mask, which are heavily enchanted to keep the gas from affecting them.
The group basically just has a weirdly domestic life in the abandoned city, after they cleared out an abandoned apartment building to chill in.
Surgery Mod:
Universe where the gang are the experiments of a mad scientist having escaped.
Tommy is a poison-based experiment, Wilbur is a Nether-based one, Philza is an End-based experiment, and Charlie is an Over-world based one.
They were all grouped together in a cell because the older three are part of the Dimension Project, and Tommy accidentally imprinted on Wilbur when he was created, meaning he would have died if he was separated from him.
The four eventually decide that they hate this life, and stage a break out with the rest of the guys experiments. 
Once they escaped, they decided to travel the world as a family, exploring everything they’d never had the chance to see, and finding where they belonged in this place.
Lava Floor Mod AU:
Universe where all the oceans in the world have been replaced by lava. For Ninja, Tommy, Wilbur, and George, their get-along vacation goes south when they’re stranded alone on a chain of distant islands, far from any sign of civilization. 
If they ever hope to survive, they’ll have to put their issues to the side and work together to get to the one place unaffected-the Nether.
Tommy ‘Smokes’ Notfound, and Wilbur ‘Soot’ Fortnite are the two children of the struggling couple George ‘Specs’ Notfound and Ninja ‘Bow’ Fortnite, who haven’t seen each other in years, despite still being married.
The two, knowing how close their kids were, agree to meet up so the two can hang out, which is why they ended up on this vacation on the first place. 
Wilbur and Smokes would really appreciate if their parents could get along too-it’d make vacation a lot nicer without all the tension. And yes, they could worry about all the oceans turning to lava, but they won’t. Instead, they’re going to be gremlins who try to get their parents to make up, whether that means divorce, or becoming a happy couple again.
Rising Void Mod AU:
Universe where the planets are being eaten by the void. Tommy, Philza, and Quackity are all aliens who managed to escape the demise of their home planets, and crashed landed on Earth, with the intention of warning them of what was coming.
Unfortunately, the only guy around for miles is Ranboo, a conspiracy theorist who prefers his isolated mountain cabin to the city...and also is in complete denial about the existence of aliens, even if they’re standing right in front of him. 
Quackity is from a planet where ores and gems have a large part of fashion culture.
Tommy’s planet was the first to fall. However, Quackity was the one who was closest to be touching, and it leaves side effects-like him occasionally hearing it’s eldritch whispering calling for him to surrender himself to it and stop fighting-
But, y’know. It’s fine. It’s all good.
(Although he does happen to be the most aware of their inevitable fate, and uses humor to cope with the knowledge that no matter how hard they try, he and these people he’s grown to care for are going to die, and there’s absolutely no way to stop that)
Sky Grid Mod AU
Universe where Ranboo is a young, lonely god born to a grid-formed world. Though he has made many interesting creations, he decides he wants someone like him. Who can listen, and answer, and love, and hate.
And the universe loves him, so it answers.
It finds two souls who’ve died too young, and puts them into his hands to mold as he wishes. One, he creates in colors of green, like grass, and emeralds, and poison alike. The other, he creates in colors of red, like lava and poppies, and warm beds.
Their names are Tubbo and Tommy, and they’re different than what he thought they’d be. They cannot be controlled or remade, but they can bleed, and they can laugh, and most importantly, they can make choices.
And they choose to love him, taking him in their embrace as a friend, treating him kindly, and as one of their own, regardless of his power or abilities. 
The three make a home in the gridded world, finding themselves and never fearing the fall, because the world loves both it’s godling, and the people made within it.
Terraforming The Moon AU:
Universe where the remains of humanity have fled to the moon upon the destruction of earth. They unintentionally awake age-old space deities, who, luckily for them, feel like lending a hand-mostly. 
Wilbur is the only actual deity of the moon, but the rest of the SBI spend more time there than they don’t, because humans are interesting.
Tommy’s the youngest god, a deity of the stars within their young galaxy-it’s a position that was passed onto him by the former star deity, Clara.
Technoblade is the deity of both Mars and Venus. He’s actually been to Earth a few times before it’s destruction, and finds their cultures fascinating-particularly the Greek and Romans.
Philza is the god of the End. The oldest, he’s not just a deity, he’s a primordial of the end of all things. Truthfully, it was the very end of Earth that awoke him from his slumber, and it’s former inhabitants interesting lives that keep him awake.
They all pick a human to favor, and help out. Changes on the day.
Honestly, they aren’t necessarily malicious? They don’t really consider the fact that humans don’t have the same limitations and powers as them, so occasionally they fuck something up that somebody worked hard on, and don’t understand why they don’t just fix it already, not realizing that the humans actually have to take awhile to do that.
One Hundred Player Laboratory AU:
Universe set in modern time. 
Wilbur and Technoblade are two university students trying to do a study for their finals-unfortunately, the rats they were supposed to use are both oddly sentient, and incredibly chaotic.
Techno and Wilbur are doing a study of behavior, and other scientific things. To do this, Techno has built a large, complex maze/building thing.
And Wilbur purchased a bunch of rats-except, he probably should have been a bit more careful who he bought from, becomes these rats definitely understand human speech, are all not normally colored, and desire to be as annoying and detrimental to their grades as possible.
To put it lightly, it’s not going well.
George’s If You Laugh You Lose Rematch AU:
Universe set in a chaotic, light-hearted world.
Sapnap, Karl, George, and Dream are some of the world’s residents.
Karl and Dream are chaotic shapeshifters who enjoy messing with George.
Sapnap’s a mischievous nether spirit who likes to team up and help them do it.
Karl can shift into objects, and Dream can turn into animals. 
The whole world is comedic, and all it’s residents have a permanent case of the giggles-to the point of making a game of how long one can hold off laughing.
Sapnap usually takes the form of an enderman or enderman hybrid

The Mysterious Stranger
The Anime, the Manga, and the Mark Twain Novella
"God will provide for this kitten." "What makes you think so?" Ursula's eyes snapped with anger. "Because I know it!" she said. "Not a sparrow falls to the ground without His seeing it." "But it falls, just the same. What good is seeing it fall?"
—from The Mysterious Stranger
There is a short novel by Mark Twain, written near the end of his life and published posthumously, entitled The Mysterious Stranger. The tale is set in a small village in 16th century Austria, where three boys one day meet a young man different from themselves: "he had new and good clothes on, and was handsome and had a winning face and a pleasant voice, and was easy and graceful and unembarrassed, not slouchy and awkward and diffident, like other boys."
The mysterious stranger starts to do small but amazing tricks for them—causing water to turn to ice; conjuring grapes and bread out of air; even making birds that can fly out of clay. At last one boy, the story's narrator, works up the courage to ask the stranger who he is:
"'An angel,' he said, quite simply, and set another bird free and clapped his hands and made it flyaway."
The angel then proceeds to really impress them by making an entire toy castle, complete with five hundred miniature soldiers and workmen that move around by themselves. Naturally the boys get involved with this ultimate playset, making their own knights and cannon and cavalry, and although they get rather nervous again when the angel reveals his name is Satan, he assures them he is not that Satan, but only named after the fallen one.
"We others are still ignorant of sin; we are not able to commit it; we are without blemish, and we shall abide in that estate always." Distracted by two of the miniature workmen, "Satan reached out his hand and crushed the life out of them with his fingers... and went on talking where he had left off: 'We cannot do wrong; neither have we any disposition to do it, for we do not know what it is." Horrified as the other boys are, "he made us drunk with the joy of being with him and of looking into the heaven of his eyes, and of feeling the ecstasy that thrilled along our veins from the touch of his hand.'"
Yes, Kaworu Nagisa made quite an impression on the fans of Neon Genesis Evange/ion, despite the fact that, in the original broadcast version of the TV show (before it got all director's-cutted, box-setted, special-editioned, and platinum-lined) he shows up for only slightly less than thirteen minutes of total screen time, the climax of which being an entire minute where nothing happens at all.
That's what being a beautiful angel will do for you, especially when you make the most of your thirteen minutes on Earth by having a Whirlwind romance with the main character that ends in a lover's quarrel with Prog Knives and finally a voluntary martyrdom at the hand of your boy here. Relationships don't come any more tragic than that of Kaworu Nagisa and Shinji Ikari, and when fans (including this one) first saw it on TV, the affair was so brief and shocking the story logic of it didn't click in until much later.
In the anime, Kaworu is acknowledged as the Final Messenger, and, of all the Angels Shinji has to fight, this is the most ruthless battle, won at the highest possible cost to himself. It took even longer for me to realize that the showdown in episode 24 had also taken us full circle from Shinji's first fight in episodes 1 and 2, which emphasized his personal helplessness against the looming Angel Sachiel. Against Kaworu, it is the Angel who becomes the small, helpless figure, while Shinji is represented only by the gargantuan, frightful helm and arm of his Eva Unit-O1. We never see Shinji's human face once throughout the whole final minute of decision.
So as Col. Trautman would have said instead of Major Katsuragi, "It's over, Shinji! IT'S OVER!" Kaworu v. Shinji (or Kaworu x Shinji, in the doujinshi) was the big final showdown between humanity and the Angels. And with the outcome leaving Shinji at his most wretched ever, wouldn't it be nice if everyone just died—your wish being Eva's command, as it turns out that fortunately humanity hardly ever needed the Angels to slaughter itself.
"I am perishing already—I am failing—I am passing away. In a little while you will be alone in shoreless space, to wander its limitless solitudes without friend or comrade forever...But I, your poor servant, have revealed you to yourself and set you free. Dream other dreams, and better!"
—from The Mysterious Stranger
Satan's words near the end of Mark Twain's story also uncannily prefigure the end of the world and the Instrumentality project, both of which follow his death in the TV show in such quick order you picture Anno as a hairnetted fry cook dinging the counter bell. By now you see Sadamoto's handling of Kaworu, and perhaps nothing illustrates the different experiences of the manga and the anime better than his handling of this critical character.
No longer the last Angel to be fought, Kaworu actually becomes an active Eva pilot and fights an Angel—the dude even has the nerve to observe the fight is fixed, based on his knowledge of SEELE's prophecies. Sadamoto of course introduces him at an earlier point in the narrative—at the equivalent of episode 19's end—and then sends him to NERV near the equivalent of episode 22's beginning—before certain important events, to put it mildly, can occur. When one notes this kind of thing, of course, it's important to restate that the Evangelion manga has always been a separate but equal "official" version of Eva, with no particular obligation to align itself with the anime, and indeed it was with Book Five, the first released after The End of Evangelion, that Sadamoto began to truly seem free to go in his own direction.
Nevertheless, as the "other" official version of the Eva story, it is reasonable for fans to view it as an "alternate history" relative to the anime, and the way Kaworu has been introduced makes us realize the manga may end very differently indeed. Despite the fact we know here that Kaworu is an Angel from the very beginning, he appears destined to at least hang around long enough to pick up a few paychecks. It's not clear when your health benefits kick in at NERV, although if Ritsuko is your primary caregiver it might be best to forego them.
Sadamoto's remarks upon visiting the U.S. in 2003 indicated that the Eva manga might (might) be planned as a twelve-volume series in all. There is still plenty of room for speculation, as the slow working pace to which the artist himself often refers has of late become almost relativistic—as of this writing, it has been eight months since Sadamoto has drawn a new installment of Eva in Japan, and hence a Volume Ten is nowhere in sight. It may be small comfort, but those of you reading this are pretty much in the same drifting boat as the Japanese fans.
"An angel's love is sublime, adorable, divine, beyond the imagination of man—infinitely beyond it! But it is limited to his own august order. If it fell upon one of your race for only an instant, it would consume its object to ashes. No, we cannot love men but we can be harmlessly indifferent to them; we can also like them, sometimes."
—from The Mysterious Stranger
And with Book Nine we see the most staggering difference thus far between the manga and the anime; Sadamoto's Shinji doesn't even like Kaworu, much less love him. Of course, you could say the less-ethereal Kaworu of the manga is harder to love. I can't believe Sadamoto had him tell Rei he thought she'd be "heftier." And yet he did.
I don't think any A.T. Fields actually got penetrated in the anime; while I do think Shinji felt sexually attracted to Kaworu, and that you the audience are supposed to feel that he felt it, what Kaworu himself thought was a very different matter. Like Rei, I believe Kaworu to be innocent—coyly, he appears not to be so, because while Rei needed to be reached out to, Kaworu has come to reach out; whereas Rei has spent her existence being observed; Kaworu has come to observe.
Indeed, in the manga, Shinji's irritation about Kaworu's invasion of his personal space seems almost a parody of his attitude in the anime. In the TV show, when Kaworu put his hand on Shinji's, he flinched but did not pull away; whereas in the manga it's easy to imagine Shinji slugging him. Instead he goes to run after Rei, hoping to get closer to her again.
I hardly think the change reflects any phobia on Sadamoto's part (after all, we even get to see Shinji's "Unit One" in the manga), but the fact the manga Shinji is less emotionally bleak and empty, and hence less vulnerable. Shinji's just as negative in the manga, of course, but it's an active variety, rather than the passive negative creep (in the best Nirvana song sense) we know from the anime. We don't have to imagine him slugging Gendo; from the look of surprise on Dad's face in Book Seven he would have smacked the beard off his face if Kaji hadn't stopped him.
Neither is Shinji in a positive emotional situation where we leave him here, either; indeed at this point in the manga there's arguably no one he can turn to—the more brutal fate that befell Toji has cut him off from his school friends, Rei has become hesitant, Kaji is dead, and his perennial self-esteem booster Asuka is going to need to rebuild her internal supply before she can even get back to calling him a loser and idiot.
So, like Misato trying to put her own hand on Shinji's, all I can do for now while we wait for Sadamoto-sensei is to recommend for your winter vacation reading list The Mysterious Stranger, which I can almost guarantee will give you new angles to think about Kaworu, and may even earn you class credit besides. A quick look at the novel's comments on Amazon list a teacher who says fundamentalist students walked out of his class when he taught it; another compares it to The Matrix; those who dislike it call it "sick," "bitter," and "twisted." Sounds like good old Evangelion to me!
—Carl Gustav Horn
[a drawing of Kaworu holding a kitten]
Although The Mysterious Stranger can also be found in a number of print editions, including The Portable Mark Twain from Penguin (haw haw), the story, being from the days when mp3s came on shellacked cylinders, is legally available online at http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/toc/modeng/public/TwaMyst.html. The same site has a book called The Holy Bible, King James Version, which fans of Evangelion might also enjoy, although it's technically "Editor's Choice."

Conversion Corner: PF2 Ancestry Rewind part 4
Leshy Heritages
 Today, rather than focusing on an entirely new ancestry, let’s take a look at how Pathfinder 2nd edition expanded upon one that already existed, the leshy, formerly the vine leshy!
When vine leshies were introduced in first edition, late into it’s lifespan, they were introduced as an advanced form of the various other forms of leshies, created to serve nature as all others do, but possessing full independence compared to other leshies, able to learn a profession and become adventurers.
While dependant leshies do still exist in 2E, mostly as familiars for druids, they also decided that it would be much cooler if all types of leshy could be independent, so the leshy ancestry allows for a much wider variety, which we will be reverse-engineering to first edition today!
 Leshy Alternate Heritages: These alternate heritages replace the normal vine leshy ability adjustments, the unassuming foliage and climber racial abilities, and modify the change shape ability so that the leshy takes the form of an appropriate plant for their heritage.
Cactus Leshy: Surly and taciturn, cactus leshies are slow to befriend others, but they can be steadfast and loyal, even sacrificing their own vitality to keep others alive.
Alternate Ability Adjustments: +2 Con, +2 Wis, -2 Cha
Alternate Abilities:
Thorns: Cactus Leshies are covered with thorns, which grant them two slam attacks which deal 1d3 bludgeoning and piercing damage. Additionally, foes that strike the cactus leshy with natural attacks or grapple them also take this damage.
Cactus Fruit: A cactus leshy can take 1d4 Constitution damage to cast goodberry as a spell-like ability, using their level as their caster level.
Change Shape: The cactus leshies alternate form resembles a cactus, and retains the leshy’s thorns ability.
 Fruit Leshy: Resembling miniature trees or other fruiting plants, fruit leshies embody the very picture of generosity.
Alternate Ability Adjustments: +2 Con, +2 Cha, -2 Int
Alternate Abilities:
Fruit: Once per day, a fruit leshy can infuse a single fruit with healing magic, which acts as a potion of a single-target spell with the word cure in its name with a spell level equal one half the leshy’s class level. This fruit spoils after 24 hours, making it nearly impossible to sell to those knowledgeable of it’s nature unless they have immediate need of it.
Change Shape: A fruit leshy’s alternate form resembles a Small fruit-bearing bush or fruit tree sapling.
 Fungus Leshy: Proud and dedicated workers, fungus leshies have little care for how alien their gardens and works appear to surface-dwellers, and most are content to make and create in peace, offering the fruits of their labors to those who visit them.
Alternate Abiity Adjustments: +2 Con, +2 Wis, -2 Cha
Alternate Abilities:
Darkvision 60 ft.
Spore Cloud: Once every 1d4 rounds, a fungus leshy can release a cloud of spores as an immediate action after being hit with a melee attack. The attacker must make a Fortitude save (DC 10+Con modifier) or be sickened for 1d4 rounds.
Change Shape: A fungus leshy’s alternate form is that of a Small mushroom.
 Gourd Leshy: Famous for their love of superstition and ritual, gourd leshies adore good luck charms and all sorts of folk remedies and stories.
Alternate Ability Adjustments: +2 Dex, +2 Wis, -2 Int
Alternate Abilities:
Keepsake: Gourd leshies have space inside their carved heads for a single fine object, which is warded by nondetection and kept pristine by constant mending. A gourd leshy can draw the object inside their head as a free action.
Superstition: Gourd leshies gain a +2 bonus to saves against magic.
Change Shape: gourd leshies take the form of a small gourd-bearing plant or singular gourd
 Leaf Leshy: Dedicated protectors of the forest, leaf leshies take training to fight smarter and harder very seriously, and prefer hit and run tactics so that they may live to continue protecting the wilds.
Alternate Ability Adjustments: +2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 Wis
Alternate Abilities:
Glide: When a leaf leshy falls, they can choose to glide, granting them a fly speed of 30 ft, but they cannot use this fly speed to ascend, and must end their turn at least 5 feet lower than when they started.
Light Body: Leaf Leshies are immune to falling damage.
Change Shape: a leaf leshy’s alternate form is that of a small tree.
 Lotus Leshy: Enigmatic and introspective, lotus leshies spend much of their time meditating, but they do love honest debate and new perspectives, but also believe that direct answers do little to stimulate the mind.
Alternate Ability Adjustments: +2 Con, +2 Wis, -2 Dex
Alternate Abilities:
Dream Pollen: Once per day, a lotus leshy can unleash a 15 ft emanation cone of pollen. Targets within must make a Will save (DC 11+Con modifier) or fall asleep.
Spell-like Ability: Constant: lily pad stride
Change Shape: Lotus leshies take the form of a water lily or lotus plant
 Root Leshy: Root Leshies are derived from plants with strong taproots or root vegetables, and tend to be quite stubborn and immovable.
Alternate Ability Adjustments: +2 Con, +2 Wis, -2 Cha
Alternate Abilities:
Root Nourishment: Root Leshies can go an extended period without sunlight as long as they have soil, allowing them to go twice as long without sunlight before being affected by starvation.
Stability: Root leshies receive a +4 racial bonus to their Combat Maneuver Defense when resisting a bull rush or trip attempt while standing on the ground.
Change Shape: Root leshies have an alternate form resembling a small plant with a strong root system.
 Seaweed Leshy: Cosmopolitan and highly social, seaweed leshies are eager to learn about other cultures, but consider their freshwater equivalents to be backwards compared to themselves.
Alternate Ability Adjustments: +2 Dex, +2 Cha, -2 Wis
Alternate Abilities:
Air Cyst: Seaweed leshies grow air bladders from their bodies that can be detached and gifted to other creatures, acting as a potion of water breathing that lasts 10 minutes. Seaweed leshies grow four such cysts each day, but they spoil after 24 hours after being detached, making them nearly impossible to sell.
Waterbourne: Seaweed leshies are able to breath both air and water, and gain a swim speed of 20 ft.
