I started watching the @letshaveabouba livestream on youtube, I'm 2 streams in and its really nice! the only bad thing is that because its a recording of a livestream I can't really add my input or share my ideas so I'm gonna blurt it all here.

The proto inventory they came up with is this:

In their documentation they put /a/ as a low central vowel, so its a classic 5 without /e/, but I decided for me I'll make it a square system, it'll make vowel stuff easier for me - so /i/ /u/ high, /æ/ (a for ease) /ɔ/ (/o/ for ease). I also interpreted the back consonants as +pharyngeal, and split the back non stops as one being a fricative and thr other an approximant, instead of having both be both.

regarding syllable structure, they came up with CCVT. I elaborated on it and made it #CC-VCCV-T#, which stands for:

initial cluster of any 2 different consonants allowed. yes, every cluster, even /jqa/ is allowed, but /tta/ is not.

intervocallic clusters of any 2 different consonants allowed, no 3 or more consonants in a row. so /aqba/ but not /ut.ska/

word finally only single consonants allowed, and specifically only alveolars. /klat/ not /pgum/

regarding sound changes, they talked about tone, and having epinthetic vowels breaking up initial clusters and vowel lowering. These are the sound change I came up with to achieve these goals, and some other stuff that seemed cool to me:

Tonogenesis: high tone after voiceless consonants, low tone after voiced. A voiceless consonant preceded by a voiced one gives low tone, and voiced preceded by voiceless gives high tone: /tá/, /dà/, /ntà/, /kná/. Im pretty sure something similar happens in tibetan, but it has aspiration involved, and im not going to have that, so this is only inspired by it.

voicing assimilation: stops and fricatives assimilate to the voicing of a following consonant of the same cluster. now tone is phonemic :) yay: /kná/ > /gná/, /ztì/ > /stì/, but /ntì/, /lsì/ stay as is.

pharyngeal spreading: a consonant in a cluster with a pharyngealized or back consonant become pharyngeal aswell: /psˁì/ > /pˁsˁì/, /ħɡʷà/ > /ħɡʷˁà/.

epinthetic vowel insertion: a vowel is inserted between all initial clusters. its quality depends on the surounding consonants. if one of them is palatal its /i/, if one of them is labialized velar, its /u/. if its both, it depends on the initial cons. else its /a/: /ctú/ > /citú/, /skʷò/ > /sukʷà/, /wɲù/ > /wuɲù/, /tkú/ > /takú/. idk what tone the new syllable gets I haven't thought about that.

pharyngeal lowering: vowels are lowered as follows after pharyngealized and back consonants: /i/ > /e/, /u/ > /o/, /æ, ɔ/ > /ɑ/. now we have 7 phonetic vowels - /i, u, e, o, ɛ, ɔ, ɑ/ yayyy yippee I love big vowel systemsss!! /tˁicˁá/ > /tˁecˁɑ́/ etc.

/ji/ /wu/ > /i/ /u/: because I don't like those sequances. I also think /wra/ >> /urà/, /jki/ >> /igì/ is pretty cool.

Here the current inventory after these changes:

and a few notes:

phonemic destinction between H and L tones

kept the lowered vowels allophones. You could just make pharyngealization go away and phonemicize the vowels but I like this gigantic inventory better lol

Potential /q ħ ʕ/ > /ʔ ∅ ∅/, to make the vowels phonemic. maybe /q/ > /k/. or even /q/ > ∕∅/ aswell?? it'll be a bold decision to make

syllable structure - #CVCCVT#. Initial clusters are now forbidden, but everything else is the same. I think V{j, w, ɰ, ħ, ʔ}C can lead to vowel length or more qualities or something, the sequance has potential.

So yeah this is all the ideas I have in my head rn, I hope it was an interesting read lol. I also recommend you go and watch the streams yourself, the vibe is very nice and help the creative juices flow, like I'm really happy with what I came up with here based on their protolang. it was like a fun colab challenge thing :) here's a link to the channel:

This is my first post and it’s gonna be low effort because I swear I can’t get this off my mind—

Do people from twisted wonderland realize how much Azul Ashengrotto could potentially look up at Vil Schoenhiet??? ONLY @jxnebuggy ACKNOWLEDGES THIS IN HER fem!twst FANFICS AND IT DRIVES ME INSANE!!!

Vil is a successful, confident, drop dead gorgeous fashion icon. He has a whole business for cosmetics because he’s so gorgeous. He’s very skilled in potion making, so much so bro makes his OWN makeup. He has a strict diet he follows and it’s clearly gving him the results he wants. Vil Schoenheit is everything Azul wants to be!! On top of that, Vil is Azul’s bloody UPPERCLASSMAN.

And does everyone forget how Azul literally info dumped about the man in Book 5 Chapter 2?? Nobody talks about it. They’re too busy headcannoning Sebek or Riddle or Floyd to be neurodivergent af (jkjk)!! Such a shame Vil told him to stfu but in his own pretty, 3w4-coded ways😔😔

Azul has shown before he will invest inhumane amounts of time into things he thinks are important. An example of this is in his birthday jackect card, he talked in a fair amount of detail about the quality of the pillow Ace gave him. He could do this because he researched ON pillow qualities.

It’s likely when he was trying to step up his game with success or diet, he stumbled upon Vil, researched the frick out of this guy, and lo and behold became a fan of his.

Some honourable mentions are when he made a deal with Vil in his ceremonial robes. I haven’t seen it because I wanna save the feeling of raw happiness with these two characters interacting once I get the card. If we didn’t see Azul show any sort of fan behaviour when Vil made that deal then I firmly believe he was kicking, giggling, twirling his hair off camera behind closed doors over it. Then I do hear in the second Camp Vargas event, Azul and Vil had some more interactions! I thiiiiiiink they were getting competitive with each other??? That changes nothing from my ignorant eye. It’s NRC. Everyone is really competitive and will turn on each other’s backs faster than Leona can fall asleep (bro’s actually depressed, I swear).

Anyway, I think it’s only right I list my headcanons now for them:

Azul gobbles up any dietary/beauty tips Vil has

Azul uses Vil’s makeup brand that’s probably vegan

He also collects Vil’s magazines and puts them all in a box hidden away in his closet or under his bed

Vil probably finds him annoying💀💀💀 (what can I say? he has a reputation for not stfu around higher class people)

Elaborating on that, Vil does respect his success but I bet he can see the unhealthy greed that lies under it all. Thus, that’s prolly a reason why he would try to distance himself away from Azul.

BADLY wants to collaborate with Vil because Mostro Lounge profits would soar if they did. Knowing his bold arse he probably made the request at least thrice and Vil shut him down each time. He’s obviously not gonna stop because we all know him. (never back down never what—)

Yes, I know he canonically looks up to Ursula, but I think he would like someone… yknow… alive to look up to.

Keep in mind I’m only on Book 5 Chapter 29 as of this moment so it’s totally possible I missed some things! Leave your opinions, headcanons, or anything else in the comments, I’d love to see them! Do leave spolier warnings though. That way I can decide whether I wanna spoil things first myself or not.

EDIT: I already fixed it but did I really just say book 6 😭😭😭 i meant book 5 i am so sry hdgdhjjjdhdjj

[volno-pesh]

W O A H BACK AT IT AGAIN ONLY...3 MONTHS LATER...THAT'S DECEEENT-

But for real ey again! Really hoping to get the sets out consistently, think this is a good pace, but uh...don't get you expectations up *coUgh* But it honestly was fun to get back into them! Especially since now we've introduced the main location for our series...THE OFFICE!! ...I AM ALREADY D R E A D I N G HAVING TO DRAW IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN HHHH-

But still, pretty proud to how these pages came out! Pretty happy with the overall coloring and shading and such, thing I pinned down the mood I wanted, and, more importantly, WE ALSO GOT INTRODUCED TO OUR OTHER TITLE CHARACTER! ...LITERALLY HIS NAME IS IN THE TITLE >:'D

Fun Fact tho: I originally didn't mean to introduce Mark this soon, at least actually see him since he was first just gonna be conveyed through the phone, but as I was formatting the pages I thought...nah that's stupid he's important...so here we are >:]

But anyhoo, not much else to note here, glad to hahe gotten the pages done at a (hopefully) consistent time and quality, and mainly hoping you guys enjoy either way! :D

...Now if you excuse me back to procrastinating some more hhHH-

Bangchan as a boyfriend (ABCS)

•Ⓑⓐⓝⓖⓒⓗⓐⓝ•

A— Adoration: This man would worship you with deep love. “Ah, you’re so beautiful!” He’d pinch your cheeks.

B— Beginning of your love story: You first met Bangchan at a fan sign, then accidentally meeting him again at a hotel. He was so sweet and you couldn’t help but to laugh at his little remarks.

C— Cute: He would mostly act cute instead of being dom about a lot of things.

D— Date Nights: When he’s off work, he’ll take you out to the beach in Sydney, or take you out to a fancy dinner.

E— Effect: This man DOES have an effect on you. But not as much as you have an effect on him. You could simply wear basketball shorts and one of his T-shirts with NO makeup on, and he’d still get a boner.

F—Flirt: He would flirt with you any chance he would get.

G—Gifts: During on your, he would offend give you gifts from each country he’d be in.

H— Happiness: Yes, you guys had some rough patches here and there but you and him are always going to be happy with each other.

I— Inebriation: (Means: make someone drunk) Now, you wouldn’t make him drunk or anything. He’d be drunk himself on your cuddles.

J— Judicious: (Means: showing good judgment) This man NEVER judged you in a bad way. I mean, yeah, you both have your opinions about each other. But if you have a tattoo or wanted one, he would praise it!

K— Kilig: (Means: A Filipino term that expresses a feeling of butterflies in the stomach, similar to being excited or thrilled. I think?) When you go shopping and pick out lingerie for something in the bedroom when you guys have sex. You would text him while he’s at work and show him a picture of you in the new lingerie. This man would be a bit flustered because he’s around the boys and hoped they wouldn’t notice the bulge in his pants. But Chan would be EXCITED to come home to you in bed in the new lingerie that you had bought.

L—Linger: His touches would linger onto your skin with each sexual affection he gives you. When you guys make out, his fingering would grip your hips under the waist band with light and soft touches.

M— Moans: Um… how should I put this? Each sound that comes out of your mouth while he slip and slides inside your wet and silk crimson walls, HE WOULD GO PAINFULLY SLOW because he never wanted it to end. Some times he’ll even hold his breath just to hear your moans.

N— Natural: Chan is an all natural man. Now Chan will wear a condom but that’s if if you want to. (Seriously though, wrap weenie before putting it in the kitty) But you told him he never had to because you’re on birth control, but he wanted to be cautious. But you and him know that the skin on skin is way better.

O— Obsessed: Chan is SUPER obsessed with you. He always talks about you to his fans, his parents, the boys, the staff, and to hosts even. People get annoyed but they’re happy that Chan is happy.

P— Passionate: HE IS HELLA PASSIONATE ABOUT EVERYTHING. The cuddles, the hugs, the kisses, making outs, love making, and flirting.

Q— Quality time: Yes, Chan has work ALL THE TIME, and that goes to the same to you. But when you both get even a day off, you get every chance of quality time you get with each other.

R— Ravish: If you’re wearing something to go to a party or out to a bar. You’d wear something low-cut either chest or thighs and Chan told you not to because he’ll get hard easily. But you don’t care because you know he’ll RAVISH you in bed like no other.

S— Sex: The sex is sweet and nice, he loves the way you sound. Vanilla or not.

T— Touch: His favorite body part to touch is your face. He loves to hold, and pinch your cheeks.

U— Understanding: You guys have your times where you want some alone time. If you’re stressed and over stimulated or he is, you both are understanding to each other.

V— Valentines Day: On Valentines Day, the special day for couples. Chan would ask staff or his boss to get off early just to surprise you with gifts or something sexual when you come home from work.

W— Warm: All you feel is warm. From the inside and out because of Chan’s love.

X— (I DONT KNOW ANY IM SORRY)

Z— (I DONR KNOW ANY IM SORRY AGAIN)

12!! 14. 17. 20. 20 again. 23 because that sounds really interesting. 30!!! 34? ... 37. 38, but three times, because yes!

[ 𝐀𝐒𝐊𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐄:] 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝

⸻ 12. what’s some good advice you want to share? This past year I've been doing a lot of soul searching / reflecting on stuff and working on myself, so I'll list a couple of things that really helped me and stuck with me: Disclaimer - obviously this won't be helpful for everyone, but these things are highly flexible to use, so maybe someone finds them as useful as me.

: ̗̀➛ Journaling. Every morning I write down three things I am grateful for, set one goal for the day (can be anything from tiny tasks to larger stuff), and the book I use for this also gives me a little mindfulness task on every page, which varies. In the evening I assess if I managed to achieve my goal, how my energy levels are and check some pre-determined boxes (drank enough water, moved my body, ate healthy, was mindful.... etc), as well as answer one small prompt the book gives me. Additionally I started to braindump before bed (just writing down w/e comes to mind), as well as jotting down the things I do over the day in a list so I can see that I am not as inactive as my head makes me believe sometimes. : ̗̀➛ Refuse to deal with subtexts. People have a mouth / hands / ways to communicate with you. If they take issue with something they have a problem with, they should communicate it. Otherwise it's a them-problem, not a you-problem. You don't have to interpret what someone might think. You're not a mindreader. : ̗̀➛ Routines. This sounds dull, and believe me I had trouble implementing this, but once something is repeated often enough, it just sticks. Be it the time you wake up, stuff that helps your health (taking supplements, drinking water right after waking up, etc.) or stuff that helps with a better sleep hygiene (no displays one hour before going to sleep, reading more, drinking a cup of tea, mediation etc.) It was difficult to get used to, but I can absolutely see the benefits and try to stick to it most days, simply because I know it helps me have a better quality of life. : ̗̀➛ Romanticize your daily life as much as possible. This ofc depends on a lot of factors, but I try to apply this to the most mundane stuff like cleaning my apartment, going for walks, cooking, preparing my morning coffee... Sometimes life just sucks, but okay-ish days get instantly better if you romanticize them a little.

⸻ 14. what’s something you’ve always wanted to do but maybe been to scared to do? Hmm... in terms of actually being too scared due to phobia: Anything to do with heights. I kind of would love to experience the adrenaline rush of skydiving or bungee jumping, but I can hardly even step on a chair without having issues :'D

⸻ 17. name 3 things that make you happy My cats, my apartment (coupled with how I decorated it), autumn - the crisp air, the colorful leafs, mist, chill weather, being able to properly layer my clothes again... Also the smell of rain, a nice cup of coffee, playing my favorite games, the rush of a hyperfixation taking off - especially when rambling to someone equally as invested, spending my saturdays doing absolutely nothing except what I want and pampering myself, blond bastard men D;

⸻ 20. favourite (2) things about the night? The stillness. Barely anyone outside, everything is a muffled and subdued, most people just want to get home, so walking outside is usually extremely peaceful. Also the sky. Not so much when it's cloudy ofc, but I often spend time just staring into the night sky and looking for shooting stars, constellations, thinking about how small and insignificant we are.

⸻ 23. say 3 things about someone you hate OKAY SO. xD Admittedly it takes a lot for me to hate someone, usually I am somewhere between pettiness, saltiness, annoyance or, best case, indifference. But if I had to pick someone it would likely be work-related. Because man. These people pulled some nasty shit. SOOOOOOO- This particular person .... I'm at least 80% sure they're bi-curious/-questioning or gay-curious/-questioning. Because why else ask me about my sexuality if we hardly have anything to do with each other. Nasty fuck. They're opportunistic and manipulative to the point that I'm very certain they stir shit up behind everyone's back just because they can. They're utterly bland, boring and uninteresting which is probably why they can't stand me. And I hope they have the life they deserve (derogatory).

⸻ 30. what’s one thing that never fails to make you happy/happier? Pretty much what I listed in 17 - but if we're thinking in terms of having a shit day with extremely bad mood, I usually try to parent myself. Make myself a hot chocolate with vanilla, some sweet treats, order food if I don't have the energy for anything else and just all around allow myself to exist without having to do anything much. It absolutely helps to alleviate any negativity after a while. Also ofc having my cats around me to cheer me up. And putting characters in situations, if my energy levels allow.

⸻ 34. any pet peeves? Certain high pitched noises. Or generally loud, penetrant noises. Rudeness. It's not hard to show a modicum of politeness and yet I can hardly move outside one day without being upset about how utterly rude people are. Unclear instructions / constantly flipping priorities around without any sense and brain (again, very work related xD). People not knowing concert / mosh pit etiquette. And phones at concerts, beloathed.

⸻ 37. share a secret I am fairly spiritual and used to be a practicing Wicca. I am, however, not overly supersticious. The way I approach things is I like the look for a scientific explanation first, but am open to believe there is something more to life, death, etc. than that. I mostly keep my believes and practices as well as experiences to myself.

⸻ 38. fave song at the moment?

: ̗̀➛ Akira Yamaoka - Rain of Brass Petals - Three Voices Edit : ̗̀➛ The Anix - Crimson : ̗̀➛ Lady Gaga - Disease : ̗̀➛ Bonus: SHOSTA - Feuer

Thank you so much for all these!!

finally. leo lastname in color except i forgot that procreate eats quality so hes a bit blurry ! details abt them under the cut ^_^

LEO !!!!! my oldeest still living oc <3 (i think theyr like? 4 or 5 yrs old now? and yet i still dont have a last name for them) hes gone thru So many different forms and stories over the years but heres what i have abt him currently:

pronouns: he/they/xyr. half human half angel so xyr genders a bit funky

in my ocverse angels are basically beings that have powers over/related to a certain thing or concept

leo is an angel of gravity, but like in the flavor of the way stars are formed by it

it didnt show up very well in my drawing but he has a bunch of star shaped birthmarks on his arms/shoulders ! they also have some normal tattoos too (not 100% on what they are yet tho)

said stars get glowy whenever xy uses xyr powers bc i think its cool :]

i actually dont know that much abt science and how stars are formed but i think his powers would let him make like. super mega hot balls of energy to throw at things (and imthinknig that potentially this requires them to sacrifice a bit of himself/his life force to make them)

he can manipulate gravity a bit, mostly with smaller things (the bigger the object the more effort it requires)

but he cant actually fly with his wings theyr just for symbolism ^-^ he can make himself levitate as if he were flying (manipulating gravity around himself is much easier than something else) but he doesnt do it all that much bc hes afraid of hights and easily gets motion sick

however xy unconsiously float a tiny bit when they walk and stand

disclaimer - i came up w his design before i even knew what twewy was. that being said, theyr very much if joshua was neku 💀

and thats all i can think of for now ! dont want to get into their relationships until i do refs/color drawings for my othher guys

but pleasplease ask me questions and stuff abt my ocs of u have them it would make e so happy !!! i dont have a lot of stuff fully fleshed out but questions and just rambling are a great way to do that 👍

[genshin-obsessed]

Rare pairs you say 👀 Wanderer and Albedo. My artificial boys. There's just so much potential there asfksgdjshdkdn

Or a slightly less rare but still good pair: Cyno and Albedo. The Windblume jokesters lmao

Ooh this isn’t a bad one! o: I didn’t even think about that but they already sound like such a cute pair 🥺

(W/n) - wanderer’s name in case you chose a specific one

——

“So, what do you think?” Albedo asked, his eyes shifting to (w/n), who stood beside him.

“Well… I don’t hate it?” He replied, gaze meeting Albedo’s. The chief alchemist just stared for a second, as if he were trying to discern his boyfriend’s words.

“That doesn’t help me at all.” He finally concluded, making (w/n) roll his eyes a bit.

“Well I said I didn’t hate it. It’s not bad, I just don’t… care for it. I don’t like anything- you know this.” Albedo just stared at him, making (w/n) stiffen a little. “E-except you and (y/n).”

“Was that a stutter?” Albedo asked, leaning in, making (w/n) blush and back away.

“What? No.” The denial unfortunately came too fast, which of course told Albedo exactly what his boyfriend wouldn’t.

“Ok, well I’ll just let (y/n) know what you said about liking nothing.” Albedo said with a shrug, as if he were playing innocent.

“Hey- wait, no need to involve them.” (W/n) said quickly. That’s when they heard the door open, making. Their eyes shoot the the door.

“Hey, you two. What’s going on here?” You greeted with your usual dazzling smile.

Albedo opened his mouth to speak, but (w/n) spoke so quickly that he didn’t even have a chance to greet you.

“Nothing!” Almost immediately, his face flushed red- a darker red this time- as he looked away. “I mean… Albedo was just showing me some of his work.”

Your eyes lit up at those words and you ran to them, hugging their waists as you looked at the table.

“Ooh! Tell me!” You said excitedly. Sometimes you seemed more excited about Albedo’s experiments than the alchemist, himself. It was one of your best qualities- and it’s what drew them in. Your love for them extended into your love for their interests. Sure, you may not be into alchemy, yourself, but seeing Albedo happy made you even happier.

“Sure, if you have time.” Albedo said, a timidity to his tone at the attention he got from you.

“Of course I have time! I have all the time in the world for you two.” You said as you smiled at them. Both of them blushed and looked away shyly, making you giggle.

Privet Tovarisch And Happy New Year For Everyone. Greetings and Salutation for us All, and hope you guys still stay with us and trusting us for your Defense Needs.

This time Around We'll Covering the Finest Weapons From Czechoslovakia (Now Czech and Slovakia). former Warsaw Pacts member who shine a bright with their breakthrough inventions, that carried until post Soviet States. the Rising Star for the west. And Sorry For Delayed Post.. We're Planning to add another Segment For VVE in format of E-Magazines. for improvement of our Bureau. for now.. stay Tuned

Pistols The CZ 75 The Member Of Famous "The Wonder 9" Is Here CZ75 is a semi-automatic pistol made by Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod (CZUB) in the Czech Republic. First introduced in 1975, it is one of the original "wonder nines" featuring a staggered-column magazine, all-steel construction, and a hammer forged barrel. It has a good reputation amongst pistol shooters for quality and versatility at a reasonable price, and is widely distributed throughout the world. It is also the most common gun in the Czech Republic.

We Covering 4 Famous Version of this Gun which are CZ75B (Second-generation CZ 75 with internal firing pin safety, squared and serrated trigger guard, and ring hammer. which fire in Semi Auto Mode), CZ75A (The Machine Pistol Version of CZ75, That Popularized by Grand Theft Auto 4:The Lost And Damned & Counter Strike:Global Offensive), CZ SP01 (New generation of CZ 75 SP-01 pistol especially adapted according to  suggestions as proposed by users from Law Enforcement, Military and  Police communities worldwide, with an additional input from the Team CZ  shooters Angus Hobdell and Adam Tyc. Based on the SP-01, it has no  firing pin block resulting in improved trigger travel. It also features a  slightly reshaped grip and safety, a “weaker” recoil spring for easier  loading, and fiber optic front sight and tactical “Novak style” rear sight.) & CZ P-07 (The CZ P-07 DUTY is a compact, polymer-framed CZ 75 variant notable for  having a redesigned trigger mechanism.  The redesign has reduced the  number of parts as well as improved the trigger pull.  Chambered in 9mm  Luger and .40 S&W, the CZ P-07 DUTY also includes the ability to  change the manual safety to a decocking lever and vice versa through an  exchange of parts.)

ASSAULT Rifles 1.SA Vz-58  Assault Rifle The Samopal vzor 1958 (submachine gun, model of 1958) was the  standard assault rifle of the Czechoslovak army from the late 1950s and until the dissolution of the Socialist Republic Of Czechslovakia in the 1993. At the present time the  SA Vz.58 is still used by the Czech and Slovak armies, as well as sold  for export in some quantities. The SA Vz.58 saw not much of real combat,  so it is hard to judge how it stakes up against the most known  contemporary rivals, like the Soviet / Russian AK-47 or the US M16.  But the overall quality, fit and finish of this rifle is excellent.  This rifle had been designed by the Czech arms designer Jiří Čermák,  under the project codename "KOŠTĚ", or "Broom", in English. Development  began in January 1956, and the rifle was adopted for service only 2  years later, in 1958. The rifle was manufactured by the state-owned arms  factory "Česká zbrojovka", located in the town of Uherský Brod (CZ-UB).

The Czech army planned to replace the SA Vz.58 with the newest CZ-2000 and the CZ-805 rifle system, chambered for 5.56mm NATO ammunition, but the financial difficulties severely slowed down this process.

While  SA Vz.58 strongly resembles externally the famous Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle, but internally it is entirely different and of original and well-thought out design. We Covering 2 Famous Version of this Gun which are Vz. 58 P which is Standard fixed stock (casually called "pádlo" (paddle) by Czech soldiers) & Vz. 58 V: Metal folding stock version for vehicle crew and airborne units. (casually called "kosa" (scythe) by Czech soldiers) 1.CZ-805 BREN Assault Rifle The CZ 805 assault rifle was first introduced to the public in 2009, as a possible future replacement for aged SA Vz-58 assault rifles still in use by Czech Armed Forces. According to the recent news, early in 2010 the CZ 805 was selected as a next standard military rifle for Czech armed forces, with production contract issued to the famous Czech arms factory CZ-UB in the city of Uhersky Brod. The CZ 805 assault rifle is of modular, multi-caliber design, with  aluminum alloy upper receiver and polymer lower receiver / fire control  unit. The magazine housing is a separate detachable unit, which can be  replaced in the field in the course of caliber change. CZ 805 also  features quick-change barrels, allowing to change calibers and barrel  lengths according to the mission profile (in each caliber there there  are short carbine barrel, standard barrel and long "marksman" or "squad  automatic" barrel). The basic action uses fairy common piston-operated  gas action with manual gas regulator, and a rotating bolt locking. For  each proposed caliber, there is a separate bolt with appropriate  dimensions. Fire control unit includes ambidextrous safety/fire selector switch,  which permits single shots, 2-round bursts and full automatic fire.  Charging handle can be installed on either side of the gun, depending on  user preferences. Feed is from detachable box magazines, which are inserted into  detachable magazine housing. In standard configuration, the CZ 805 will  use proprietary 5.56x45 caliber 30-round magazines made of translucent  polymer. Other magazine housings will allow use of Standard STANAG AR Magazine or H&K G36 5.56mm magazines, as well as various 7.62X39 Soviet M43 and 6.8x43 magazines. CZ 805 assault rifle is fitted with integral Picatinny rail on the top  of receiver, with additional rails running on the sides and the bottom  of the forend. Rifle will be issued with folding iron sights, and will  also accept a wide variety of additional sighting equipment (red-dot or  telescope day sights, night sights, lasers etc.). Rifle is equipped with  side-folding buttstock, which is adjustable for length of pull, and can  be completely removed if maximum compactness is required. Additional  equipment also includes new, specially designed 40mm underbarrel grenade  launcher CZ G 805 and also a new knife-bayonet. Sub Machine Guns 1.SA VZ.23 The CZ Model 25 (properly, Sa 25 or Sa vz. 48b/samopal vz. 48b – samopal vzor 48 výsadkový, "submachine gun model year 1948 para") was perhaps the best known of a series of Czechoslovak designed submachine guns introduced in 1948. There were four generally very similar submachine  guns in this series: the Sa 23, Sa 24, Sa 25, and Sa 26. The primary  designer was Jaroslav Holeček (September, 15 1923–October, 12 1997), chief engineer of the Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod arms factory. Despite The Weapon was SA.26 which fired 7.62×25mm Tokarev. it basically still a same gun despends on Storytelling 2.Škorpion vz. 61 The Škorpion vz. 61 is a Czechoslovak 7.65 mm submachine gun developed in 1959 by Miroslav Rybář (1924–1970) and produced under the official designation Samopal vzor 61 ("submachine gun model 1961") by the Česká zbrojovka arms factory in Uherský Brod. Although it was developed for use with security forces and special forces, the weapon was also accepted into service with the Czechoslovak Army, as a personal sidearm for lower-ranking army staff, vehicle drivers, armored vehicle personnel and special forces. We Covering 2 Famous Version of this Gun which are Famous Vz. 61 which chambered in .32 ACP & Vz. 68  Which Chambered with more popular 9mm Cartridge, despite the First was more popular than former. 3.Scorpion EVO 3 is a 9mm submachine gun manufactured by Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod. The EVO 3 designation denotes that the firearm is a third generation of CZ's line of small submachine guns started by the Škorpion vz. 61.  Skorpion Evo 3 evolved from a Slovakian prototype submachine gun called the Laugo. Chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum, the Scorpion EVO 3 is a light weight, compact submachine gun designed to be easily maneuvered in constrained spaces. The A1 variant features a select fire switch, giving the operator the choice of 'safe,' semi-automatic, three-round burst, or fully automatic fire, while the S1's switch only features 'safe' and semi-automatic fire. The standard version comes equipped with a folding, adjustable and fully removable stock for easy transport. The hand guard is lined with multiple Picatinny Rails for the addition of attachments such as grips, sights, flashlights and lasers.

[ciaossu-imagines]

So, just breaking up requests with throwing up stuff for various fandoms that I’ve been writing or had stored away from previous writing! I thought it would give a better variety of all the fandoms I do write for and really get me back into the swing of things, while still getting you guys (semi)well-written replies! So, for these headcanons, I used this prompt over here and, instead of picking a character and spelling their name, I spelled out the name of the fandom, Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun! fully and wrote headcanons I have for the various characters! I hope you’ll all enjoy!

          W: Would they rather go to the beach or to the mountains?

I feel like Ameri has seen the beach scenes in First Love Memories so many times and she sort of romanticizes the beach and really wants to go there with a lover. It’s one of the top things she really wants to do, honestly, though the actual experience would fluster her! After all, what swimsuit should she wear? There’re so many options; how can she ever pick! And there’s so many things to do at the beach, she couldn’t possibly figure out which one they should do first!

As for the mountains, I really feel like Balam enjoys being up in the mountains, seeing the different species of animals and plants, enjoying the relative peace of the mountains.

Clara and Agares, however, would choose neither because neither of them really appeals strongly to them. Clara much prefers a good forest, with lots of trees and clearings and things to explore. Agares, on the other hand, just wants to stay home and doesn’t get why he keeps being dragged out when he just wants some quality nap time.

          E: Do they have a good relationship with their siblings?

While it’s not quite a legit sibling relationship, I do feel like Elizabetta always wanted siblings. While she appreciates that there are some advantages to being an only child, I really feel like she wanted the sibling experience. She wanted older brothers to dote on her or older sisters to look up to. She wanted younger siblings to guide and watch over. I really do feel like, in some ways, she tries really hard to be like a ‘cool big sis’ to some of the other characters, especially Clara, and it would be such a huge compliment for her if one of the other girls were to tell her that’s how they think of her.

          L: Do they binge watch shows on Netflix?

Okay, so assuming that the demon world has their own version of Netflix, because of course they do, I feel like Jazz only binges under specific conditions. On his own, I don’t feel he really binges anything. He enjoys watching certain things and can definitely sit down and watch them for a couple hours tops but sitting down and watching a full season in one go is not his cup of tea. I feel the only time he really sits down and binges something is if he’s watching it with someone else. He can binge happily with other people because, to him, it’s more a companionship thing than a solitary hobby.

          C: Have they ever lost anyone close to them?

I feel like Kalego does have experience dealing with death. I really can’t pinpoint who or how many people he’s lost but I feel either a friend or a grandparent, maybe? I just really do feel strongly though that he has experience with losing someone, with death, and with grieving.

          O: How would they describe their childhood in general?

I feel like Garu had a pretty normal childhood, if somewhat solitary. He was a bit of an odd duck as a child, really very interested in science and inventing. He was really outgoing and not at all shy but didn’t make friends easily and was often out tinkering on his own. However, he had a good relationship with his parents and was generally a pretty happy child.

          M: Would they rather live in the country or in the city?

I feel like Orobas would be pretty happy in either the country or the city. He’s a pretty adaptable guy but if he had to choose, I feel like he’d pick the country to live in, though he wouldn’t want to live alone in the country. He still wants some companionship but would appreciate the peace and quiet of countryside living more than being constantly surrounded by people and noise in the city.

          E: Do they have a good relationship with their siblings?

Jazz and Rock’s sibling relationship is…strained, to say the least. However, while he’s definitely very selfish in a lot of ways, I don’t necessarily see Rock as being purposefully a complete asshole and I definitely don’t think he hates his little brother. I think, in some messed up way that probably stems from the attitude in the demon world and the way Rock was raised, that his bullying of Jazz is kind of Rock’s way of trying to ‘toughen up’ his little brother and to make Jazz better with both his bloodline magic and as a person. It doesn’t excuse Rock’s actions and I think it definitely sours what could have been a good brotherly relationship, but I do think the elder Andro brother isn’t acting out of pure malice.

          T: What is their full name?

Orias does have a middle name…his full name is Oswell Orion Orias. His family really likes alliteration.

          O: How would they describe their childhood in general?

Allocer’s childhood was solitary but peaceful. He was a curious child, to the point his first word was ‘why’ and he had a thirst for learning from a very young age that his parents fostered and encouraged. He spent a lot of time reading instead of outside playing with other kids and his school life was mostly dedicated to learning and studying. He didn’t make many close friends until he went to Bablys but doesn’t remember his childhood as bad by any means.

          D: Are they religious?

I feel like, with all the other weird things the demon world has, there’s definitely a cult based around beauty and that Dosanko definitely is a member of that particular cult!

          E: Do they have a good relationship with their siblings?

I feel like the Marbas family are all really close to one another, actually. They’re a pretty tight knit clan, though there are, of course, some tensions or arguments between family members, as you’ll find in any family. They fight, ma

          M: Would they rather live in the country or in the city?

I feel that, after experiencing both, Iruma really does prefer city life. While peace and quiet is nice, the city inspires him in a way. There are always new people to meet, things to do, and it makes him happy in a way that the general peace and quiet of country living doesn’t.

          O: How would they describe their childhood in general?

I feel the only way to describe Balam’s childhood is…eventful. He just seemed to have the knack, all through his childhood and teenage years, really, of getting himself into insane situations. It wasn’t even so much that he tried. In fact, knowing that he worried his parents and the few friends he found himself able to gain, he would try so hard not to get into scrapes but he just seemed to attract weird, sometimes dangerous, situations.

          N: How do they feel about politics?

I feel like Azz actually has some rather strong opinions on politics, though he’s smart enough to keep them to himself most times. Growing up with his mother being part of the Thirteen Crowns, I feel he was exposed to political opinions quite often, really, growing up and that he learned and was encouraged to shape his own opinions regarding political subjects. While his views do align with his mother’s quite often, they do differ in certain areas. Again though, Asmodeus keeps his political views to himself a lot of the time, though he will chime in with them if he’s talking to someone he trusts, and the subject gets brought up.

          S: Do they read their horoscope?

It depends on the day and the mood he’s in, but Furfur does read his horoscope. If he’s in a playful mood, he’ll even use his horoscope to make his decisions for the day. Sometimes he’ll go against everything in the horoscope, sometimes he follows it to the letter. It just amuses him to see how right or wrong the advice for the day was and leads him into interesting situations, which is really all he wants in life.

          C: Have they ever lost anyone close to them?

We know that Furcas has a daughter. But, and maybe I’m wrong here because, again, I haven’t finished up the manga…I feel like she’s a widow. I feel like she’s gone through the death of her husband and the grief of that, combined with the stress of having to suddenly become a single parent. While she enjoyed a good drink before that, I really feel like she started drinking more heavily as well in the wake of her husband’s death, as that was the only way she knew of to handle it.

          H: What do they smell like?

Okay, but I feel like Dali spends enough time with Suzy, and is genuinely good friends with her, that he smells a little like the plants and flowers she grows, mixed with a kind of pleasant musky odor and a hint of spice and old leather from a cologne he favours.

          O: How would they describe their childhood in general?

I feel like Blushenko was actually rather bullied as a child by his schoolmates and he was a little bit of a headstrong troublemaker growing up because of that. Though he matured through his teenage years, his childhood was complicated for him and isn’t something he likes to think about.

          O: How would they describe their childhood in general?

Momonoki’s childhood was relatively good. Her parents and her got along and she was the apple of her grandfather’s eye. She made friends well in school, was a good student and really didn’t have a lot of issues that way. However, I feel like her upbringing was quite strict and there was a lot of pressure she felt, a lot of emphasis on her achieving good marks and excelling in school and with her bloodline ability and that she sometimes felt a little overwhelmed at times with it all.

          L: Do they binge watch shows on Netflix?

Robin, not too surprisingly, does love the demon world’s version of Netflix but he’s flighty with it. He’ll either latch onto a show and binge every episode one right after the other or he’ll hop between shows constantly, sometimes in the middle of episodes, because he gets bored with them.

          I: How do they feel about tattoos? Do they have any?

Iruma actually really likes the look of certain tattoos. Some of the jobs he had to work, he got used to tattoos on some of the adults, both good and mediocre ones. He appreciates the work that went into most of them and loves the really detailed, super-colorful pieces that he’s seen on some people. However, he has no desire to get a tattoo himself – he’s a little terrified of the process of getting them and the pain associated with it.

          R: Who is the first person they call when they are in trouble?

Kiriwo, whenever in trouble, will immediately call Baal. Ever since Kiriwo met Baal, that’s been his go-to, the one person Amy feels will be able to solve any issue.

          U: Do they have a criminal record of any kind?

Baal should have a criminal record. He really should. But the fact is, the man is brilliant in his own way and either doesn’t get caught or, if caught, is able to keep or excuse his actions as being just the demonic blood and instincts he has.

          M: Would they rather live in the country or in the city?

I feel like, though Delkira loves the city and, once upon a time, couldn’t imagine being anywhere other than it, the longer he lived and the more power he gained, the less patience he had for it and the more he wanted an escape from the city, from the people, from life itself and the more he wanted a quiet, peaceful, beautiful life in a more country environment, where he could just be.

          A: Do they have any pet peeves?

Gaako’s pet peeve is definitely Iruma by this point, just because of the strength of the obsession her best friend Eiko has with him. Sometimes, she swears if she hears Iruma’s name one more time, she’ll go completely insane.

          K: Do they have a quote that they live by?

Ocho, as part of the Cult of the Numeral 2, kind of lives by their vision and mantras, more or less.

          U: Do they have a criminal record of any kind?

General Furfur definitely has committed war crimes. Just saying. And numerous crimes growing up as he was a hellion of a child. The only reason he doesn’t have a criminal record is he always had the luck to either be on the winning side or to be sneaky enough to not get caught.

          N: How do they feel about politics?

Henri is very political. He’s a very moral character, for a demon, with very black and white views on the world in general and on what is right and what is wrong. He’s pretty forthright on his views as well since he doesn’t feel like he should have to hide them. He believes in following the rules and has a more accepting view of humans than most other demons.
