Devil's advocates

They say, out there, that even the devil himself needs help from time to time.

However, it's not just any kind of help, it needs to come from some special source, from someone who has enough power and understanding to know what kind of things they are going to get into. And of course, he must have the guarantee that, regardless of the matter, he will always win.

The requirements that can lead to hell for anyone who dares to work for him, but just as life is a risk, so it is the opposite side of it.

“My team is highly qualified to quickly take any job assigned to them. Once we take it, there's no going back."

Jinki, the leader of SHINee's firm, fully trusts his partners. Fifteen years of experience support them, and in all that time, among their thousands of cases, there has only been one that they could not win, with the only client with whom you will never be able to obtain what you are looking for.

Kibum refuses to talk about it, despite being in charge of giving the firm a voice, but not because he believes that it will tarnish their reputation. No. It was just a difficult case that didn't end the way he planned. And that is more frustrating than many can actually think.

“We can get the information from anyone and anywhere. It is not a problem."

Taemin boasts of his ability to find the lost things and execute the plans that Kibum dictates; That boy, the youngest in the firm, is quite a special case: he can find anything from anyone, but when it comes to his own things that he himself loses, there is nothing to do. Perhaps that is why the firm holds it to the highest standards to get things done by any means.

And when the time comes to things to escalate and action is required, Minho is the best in his range to carry out the actions that are needed. By good or by force. For Choi Minho there is no other option, the intelligence of his movements combined with his military physique leaves no doubt that he has rarely had to use that force for the case to continue its course smoothly.

And since behind every great team there is a great base, Jonghyun has everything on his side. It has been some time since he became discreet, silent and keeping a low profile since he is almost never seen and his office is in the highest and most restricted part of the entire building, however, it is the foundation of the firm: by his hands -and prodigiously mind- he passes all the cases that are received, patiently reads them, breaks them down and turns them into the stories that are told for each case and for each person.

Without it, the team would simply be lost, and they wouldn't know where to start or where to go.

“Without night there would be no day, without silence there would be no noise. Everything is a cycle and Jonghyun understands it. We also understood it."

"And what are your fees?" The devil himself must ask the question, because he knows in advance that everything has a price, even for him.

“Regardless of the case, the team will always work together. We don't fire anyone, we don't replace anyone, and no one takes a case for themselves. We can act individually, but in the end, it all comes together with us. If one works, we all work. And even if we lose, the guarantee is the team itself. We all accept that clause."

“The devil just looks at Jinki and smiles.

“A deadly fair deal.”

This is not a fic, just a small text I got inspired to write while working on the images :) The idea was only to edit the images with the Photoshop beta version that works with AI (pretty good actually, I like it!), I was just playing a little with the edits ahaha, but hope you all like them :)

Haunted by this image of Barry Sloane and Richard Short's faces photoshopped over John and Paul's faces. Uncanny valley. Absolutely unsettling. Weirdest promo ever

Let me ask you, Boston Dumb Fuck, does your ass hurt from straddling the fence for so long?

(Speaking of which, saddle up, this is a long one)

So, is this some Gemini Mercurial thing? Help me out here:

You go after David Duke, but have no problem with, at the very least, appearing to fuck a racist Nazi

You will go to a BLM march, but have no problem with, at the very least, appearing to fuck a racist Nazi

You claim to be a feminist, and love love, but treat her like shit whenever you are forced to be around her (we know because you are only around her when there are required pictures to be taken, nothing organic)

You claim to be a feminist, but for V-day, to celebrate your love, you dump the most ridiculous set of about 25 pictures (photshopped or not), making you look like a creepy uncle and her like a scheming Lolita, and absolutely no chemistry

You claim to be a feminist, but for V-day you release a snuff film disguised as a dumb face puppet video, where you are holding down your beloved with your hand firmly across her nose, as you laugh maniacally in the background, while you proceed to shove a camera down her throat. And do you have a buddy with you? Weird, but it is interesting you never seem to be alone with her.

You claim to be a feminist, but you post a video where you proudly declare taking away your sweetheart's agency because she didn't want you to post it, but you thought it was "cute" so you did it anyway. And by the way, it was much more humiliating for you- so she didn't know how to play Mario Kart. It's Mario Kart, you 42 year old man-child. Not like you were watching Jeopardy!

Side note- don't dare post ANYTHING for Valentine's Day this year, since this charade seems never-ending. You proved your point last year and it is a capitalist construct, anyway. I can only imagine how bad you will look in them this year considering your almost depleted soul. You may not be able to run out of the car fast enough this time after kissing her chin when the person in the passenger window yells "cut".

You love tradition and cherish all that bullshit, but are willing to make them meaningless for this stunt. Yeah, I can see how special pumpkin carving, apple picking and dressing up for Halloween are to you!

You want someone who is humble and hate arrogance, but you are with someone who thinks she is such a good actress she didn't need to go to school for it because she has natural talent. Spoiler alert- she really, really doesn't! I am sure the acting teachers in your family are thrilled with that one.

You value your family, but are willing to use your precious time with them to show off your new plaything and force some of them to follow her on SM, including your underage nephew, only to have her "leak" her tantrum shower porn video to her followers (also wasn't there something about wanting someone who was mature? I don't know, you have said so much nonsense, it is hard to tell what is real or fake, right?)

You declare yourself to be an alone guy and your dog is your soulmate, but then you kinda sorta have two ceremonies with your Portuguese wifey, flaunting that cheap piece of metal strangling your left ring finger. I am surprised it hasn't turned it green, but maybe you don't have it on long enough for it to do any harm. Also, here's a hint, even though pictures with her and Dodger were most likely altered, he don't like her at all! But at least you get to call someone your "wife"; I remember you talking about how special you thought that was, too.

You don't like liars and you don't like manipulation. But what you selfishly mean is that you don't like being lied to and you don't like being manipulated, because you have had a hell of a time perpetuating those acts on the general public and your fans, now mostly former fans. You know, the ones who saved you from the dick pic embarrassment. The ones you said meant so much to you. You may find out how much they mean to you when another of your movies tanks and have a hard time finding more work. (Another side note- what the fuck was that "Guard the Pussy" meme thing all about that was on the same photo roll as the dick pic? Is it that you are here to guard the pussy or is more of a warning that you are here, so ladies, guard your pussy? Well, nevermind, maybe you were always gross).

You suffer from anxiety, but you have no problem being a crazy maker, or paying people to make people crazy on your behalf. He attended the party. No he didn't. The wifey was there. No she wasn't. She stands just below his shoulder. No wait, they are cheek to cheek with no shoe height difference. Where is his arm? That picture is old. That's not his tattoo. How can he look so different in just three days? She supports him at his premiere. Then why does he (and his co-star and director) look pissed. She is only mentioned in online articles, not print. They started dating during the pandemic (when she was 23). No, she was dating someone else at the time. He said he was married. He bought her an expensive Cartier ring. No, that was borrowed, she wears the ring she tried to fool everyone with on the first pap walk. Oh wait, she only wears it when people are looking. He got married in Concord. No, Cape Cod. No, LA, No, Upstate NY. There was an NDA at the ceremony, but select people are allowed to talk to Condé Naste publications (online, of course). But it doesn't matter unless the reps also confirm because apparently his whole life isn't under his control. But because he is doing such a bad job means he is telegraphing this is fake. But a lie, even one told badly, is still a lie- it's just an added layer of mindfuckery. And why did he do this? Was he promised a role? Was he coerced? Blackmailed? Tricked? Was it hubris? Is he in danger? Broke?

So you don't do any permanent damage on that fence, BDF, you may want to pick a side, because currently you are a fucking hypocritical, almost soulless, misogynistic piece of shit! Get some serious help because you have really poor decision making and coping skills to crash and burn your life so magnificently in such a short amount of time! That part is on you, no matter who forced you to sign whatever you signed. Do better as you try to rebuild! Please!

Have a nice day! 👋

PS- there is so much more I could have included; how you are happier than you have ever been, but look sicker than some dying people, don't even recognize you in your life and use weed to disappear further; the whole egoic narrative and how it led you astray from anything real and true; and don't get me started on your unchecked, entitled, white male privlege. But unlike you, I value the things in my life outside this curated SM world- a great job I put effort into everyday because people need and appreciate the effort and that allows me to put a roof over my head and get the bills paid every month (a luxury I know many don't have), great friends who tell me when I am being an asshole as well as when I am being awesome and a family I would never take for granted and use for cheap and insincere gestures. I would much rather spend time in the real world. It is a marvelous place when you don't put your fate in someone else's hands. I hope you get the opportunity to try it soon.

A lil look at my Good Omens fanart (so far) :) ✧･ﾟ: *

I REALLY enjoyed the show!! So far that I'm even reading the book even though Im a super slow reader :'). But everything about this show was just so good hdhsdd. Am really exited for season 2 :3

Also had some fun playing with the different edits u can do to ur pics in photshop as u can see :')

GET TO KNOW ME ✧˖°.

This is long, so I'm popping it under a read more. Thanks to @allyennah and @sealrock for tagging me!

Tagging: @haellen-o, @ainyan, @fair-fae, @thefreelanceangel, @joiedecombat & you!

are you named after anyone? Technically my name is from Greek mythos! I don't think that's why my mum named me that, though; I think she just liked it. She wanted a name that was unusual enough that people could pronounce, but unusual enough there wasn't likely to be too many people with the same name.

when was the last time you cried? I watched Game Changer last night where the contestants were being really nice to Jess and made her cry so that got me crying. LOL.

do you have kids? Ha. Haha. HAHAHA. no.

do you use sarcasm a lot. I'm Australian.

what sports do you play/have you played? Outside of like school-mandated sports (not that I play any now), I played Netball/Softball as a kid! Softball has a special place in my heart because, while I wasn't very good at it, I did have a lot of fun.

what is the first thing you notice about other people? Nothing, I am literally the most oblivious person on the planet. KSDFJGHSD. I think, especially being online, I tend to notice how people speak and treat each other - if that counts.

scary movies or happy endings? I'm more of a 'watch other people dissect and consume horror' so I would say happy endings... but I do love a good horror movie, even if I personally suck at consuming it.

any special talents? I write! I feel like that tends to get overlooked in roleplay communities because we all write, but I've had work of mine published in marketing/academic circles so I can vouch it's decent. Outside of that, I used to/can video edit, and I'm also passable at photshop.

where were you born? 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. I'm joking. I was born in Sydney, though.

do you have any hobbies? Gaming, writing, reading, photo manipulation. I watch far too many niche video essays.

do you have any pets? She's not so much my pet, but I was adopted by my the partner's family cat, Lucy. She might as well be mine at this stage, though.

how tall are you? I think like 5'6-7? I'll ask my doctor when I see her next, I genuinely don't remember.

favourite subject in school. Surprising absolutely no-one, English.

dream job? You tell me and we'll both know. I flip-flop between so many things I'd like to do verses what is feasible to do. I think realistically, if I could do university over again, I'd focus more on psychology... but I don't know if I'd be a psychologist.

eye colour? My eyes are weird. They're sort of blue/green when you look close and one has a freckle. I love them, but they're weird.

Tetris stop motion group project.

We were given this template in class, and asked to draw over the template design in Photoshop, with our own designs, relating to monsters.

Here is the design I completed on Photoshop. I enjoyed this task, it was relatively easy and did not take too long to complete. My favourite is the monster on a pogo stick. First we put the image into photshop, then lowered the opacity of the image to make it more transparent, this enabled us to see the original image, without it affecting what we were drawing. We then used the brush tool to draw out designs in black. We then used the fill tool to add colour to our designs.

Here is a link to play Tetris online, this gave us the knowledge of how the game works, to enable us to set up the animation of our own Tetris game. We printed off and cut out our Tetris shapes as a class. We set up a sheet, with squares on, to look like the background of a Tetris game, our teacher then used a camera to take pictures to put together to make the animation of our shapes falling. To do this, we moved them by hand between each shot, as if they were falling in a Tetris game. My sock monster was used.

Recolor Resource

I know Simomo has a newer bigger palette, but I’m far too lazy for 178 colors. All credit for this palette goes to Simomo.

With that out of the way

I made some gradient maps for the original 90! Please do feel free to play around with these and change the colors or even make new ones. They’re a lot easier to customize and use than multi-step actions so don’t be afraid to mess around.

You can download them here. (This is not CC. This is a resource.)

How-to under the cut if you need. Very beginner friendly & applies to gradients in general.

You’ll need s4studio and photoshop. I use cs6.  I primarily use these for hair type items, but they can be used over anything. I’m working my way through the clothes atm actually.  I always use the #15 hair swatch. If that is not available (kids) I have included a gradient map you can run over Dirty Blonde #13 to get #15. It’s not perfect, but it’s close enough for a base. 

You can do this over a .dds, .png. jpeg w/e you prefer. I use .pngs.

Load up your file of choice and add an adjustment layer -> gradient map   

You should see a menu like this somewhere in your photshop. 

which will drop down in to this :

If you do not see the momo colors click the wheel up by Momo 83 in my picture and hit load (you can use replace to get a clean only momo menu like my pic) and select the Momo 90.grd file you hopefully downloaded.  You can also double click the .grd wherever you saved it.

Simply pick one and voila. Your texture is recolored. 

Something I had trouble with with actions was them not respecting selections and recoloring everything, the map will respect your selection though so you can leave out streaks or hair accessories easily. I selected a small portion to demonstrate :D  

I have not included an action because you don’t need one! However, I did make one for myself that loads the colors and saves out as 1.png - 90.png, but it won’t work on other’s pcs because the paths would be different. You definitely can and should do this yourself to save time.

that looks like this 

make the layer once, change the color & save. then just change & save until done!

Pro-tip: Save your recolors as .png and name them 1,2,3,4,5 so on. Once you’re done use bulk rename utility and add “Swatch_” as the prefix and “_Diffuse_1″ as the suffix. (in my experience so far “_diffuse_1″ will not need to change, but swatch does so that’s why we don’t add a number to it and instead name the .png as the number.)

 If you do this you can bulk import in to s4studio to save you some clicking. :) shift+control+c in s4studio and type “studio.importall” Studio will make a folder where your package is called “yourpackage resources” and you just drop your .pngs in there then type studio.importall again to actually import this time. Yay no more carpal tunnel clicking import 90 times!

You do need to apply the color palette to the package first but s4studio has that palette tool now so no tips/tricks needed.   Hope this helps!

also for shits n giggles I put one of the blues over a random skyrim screenshot and set the layer to soft light for a knockoff reshade effect. Experiment!

It's nice playing with models made for MMD sometimes. Doesn't mean I'll stop making Sims renders, though!

Models by Mumuta. Stage by Nikukyu. Poses by ozwalcito. Effects are dGreenerShader, PostRimLighting, HgSAO, o_BleachBypass, PostMovie, and o_ShadowFrame. Edited in Photshop.

Some dos and (mostly) don'ts for the upcoming Comic Con, Boston Dumb Fuck.

So I don't know if your handlers have had a chance to program you for the event yet or if they are waiting for a software update, but here are some tips for your trip to Seattle.

When you smile, try to have it reach a little up your face. You could scare the children with your hollow, soulless eyes. You may have become an automaton, but these people paid good money so try to look and act like a human male. And stay off the weed- makes any chance of a sparkle disappear.

When speaking, try to avoid the "ok" sign, or even the Italian thing you do sometimes with the fingers together (🤌)*. It's too close to the sign the smug wifey likes to flash with her close Nazi buddies. You are already tied to her and carry around a certain amount of shame for that, don't need to make it worse by appearing like you are a true believer now.

Don't mention your inconsequential political site. These folks just want a picture with the dude who once played Captain America. They don't care about you and your vain extra curriculars.

At the same time, don't play too much into the Captain America role. You signed on for this fake marriage with the antisemetic, racist wifey to reset your image (I guess?) and you cannot claim any similarity or want for similarity or admiration for the character, when you embody everything he would be ashamed of.

Don't try to get your feminist street cred back by wishing people a good Women's History Month. That ship has sailed for you.

As much as I hate seeing that liars ring, keep your left hand out of your pocket. You look like you are diddling yourself and people don't need more reasons to try to label you as a p**vert. We all know you are an "alone guy" and maybe that is what you do back at the hotel, although with its dubious metal composition, I don't recommend getting that piece of jewelry too close to your junk. It could cause sterility...On second thought, whack away, rub, rub, rub with good old lefty. Do society a favor. You are enough of a child for you to raise.

Of course you could forgo the ring altogether (in unison "You could forgo the ring". Sorry, I had to do that. My dad trained me too well watching "Airplane"). Have the OFFICIAL break up announcement come out before the con. Garner some sympathy. Begin to remove all reference of her. But don't forget that this does little to clear your karmic debt or repair the pathetic shreds of your life. You have a long road to travel, if you chose to do better. Leaving this debacle is only the first step. No matter the narrative being told, the only thing for certain is that you are a major liar who has selfishly hid behind his privlege to get what he wants, no matter the collateral damage.

If you are in real trouble and are in need of serious help, send us the message by wearing your California cap and we'll come running. Maybe. You've been a real shit and may not derserve it. We'll have to assemble a coterie of mods to discuss your fate, like in a Wes Anderson movie. Any mods interested?

If, on the other hand, you are ok but would like to acknowledge you have been a manipulative, selfish sack of White Privleged shit who needs to actively work to become a trustworthy, authentic person and make amends, wear the NASA cap.

Well, that's all I can think of for now. Enjoy the coffee up there in the Emerald City, if you are into coffee that week, you Mercurial mother fucker! 👋

*PS- I would like to clarify that I am in no way equating one gesture with another. My intent was that, in this case, there is a likely possibility the Italian gesture could be taken out of context and skewed to look like the beginning of a WP sign because of BDF's association with the little Nazi twit. Photshop has been used before, why would it not be used for this nefarious purpose? Even these simple and inert gestures can become weapons in the wrong hands.

But I should have been more careful and I sincerely apologize to anyone I offended. I tell BDF to do better, but unlike him, I am not a hypocrite so I will follow my own advice. Thank you to those who politely called me out and I hope this helps.

Reeze whirlwind of gusto, from Yu-gi-oh.  I was never big on the whole Yu-gi-oh card thing, but I like some of the character designs.  I recall I was playing with gradient maps in photshop with this, I wish I knew about them sooner.

Another thing from August for /v/. 

[r6shippingdelivery]

As of today, I've been 3 years into the siege fandom 🎉🎉 

To celebrate, I opened requests on Twitter and I’m gonna post here a recopilation all the small HCs and photshop edits I did!!

Castle/Maverick

- their conversations tend to happen in more than just one language. - Mav loves Castle's dogs, especially when they both take them out on a walk or play with them. It feels peaceful and normal, something he hasn't felt in a long time. - He swears Castle gives the best hugs ever. - Castle enjoys the exotic dishes Mav cooks and the stories he tells, not for the stories themselves, but because his whole face lits up when  talking about the deserts he's seen and the people he met in Afghanistan. - Castle's family wants to meet Maverick soon

Montagne/Lion

Monty feels protective of Lion and defends him even when he knows he fucked up. He might confront him about it later, in private, but he never berates him in public. Lion knows part of the appeal Monty has is that he's sort of a father (or authority) figure, which at first  made him feel worse about his crush on his friend, but he had already fallen hard and the idea of distancing himself from Monty was unbearable, so he just prayed more and more.

Mozzie annoying others

He doesn't do it on purpose, he's just so full of energy that even sitting still for more than five minutes is a challenge for him. He is easily excited, prone to risking his neck on that bike just for the thrill of adrenaline, and can't shut up. Thatcher is wary of having him and Smoke in the same room, since last time they fashioned fire rings for Mozzie to jump through. He also has a tendency to dismiss they non-Australian insects & critters as harmless and play with spiders he finds and show them around.

Mute annoying Smoke

I have the feeling usually it's Smoke annoying Mute, but what does Mute do when he wants to pay back with the same coin? He subtly rearranges Smoke's belongings to throw him off/confuse him; or he'll tease him about his lack of tolerance for spicy food - maybe he cooks something spicy, a recipe from his mom! Or he teams up with Charlie and tells her funny (aka, embarrassing) stories about her dad's antics. Or the worst thing he can do: ignore/not answer Smoke when he talks to him. Fortunately for Smoke, Mute can't keep up that charade for long

Lion/Doc fluff

- PDAs from Doc leave Lion either blushing or smiling like a loon. In any case, he feels like he's floating on clouds and the luckiest man alive. - Lion likes to buy Doc stuff, things that reminded him of the doctor, or some chocolates he loves to apologize after an argument. - Lion radiates heat like a fire, and is more than a little clingy. As much as Doc likes cuddling with him, he sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night trapped by Lion and sweating, so he will push him aside. In winter Doc is the one clinging to Lion in his sleep tho!

Weird Tachanka habits

- He talks to himself out loud, and sometimes his teammates  get confused thinking he's on the phone or something when he's just muttering stuff on his own. - If he wakes up in the middle of the night, he never turns on any light to go to the bathroom or to fetch a drink. - After that time he got shot in the helmet and almost died, he was told by the doctor to make sure he could still see with both eyes if his vision got blurry. To this day, he still might randomly close one eye to make sure he can see with the other.

Ace/Rook

- Rook followed Ace on Insta waaay before Ace joined Rainbow. First time they met Rook may have acted a bit like a starstruck fan. - Ace loved the attention ofc, especially since Rook seemed so earnest and without ulterior motives. Indulging him was... easy and pleasant. - Ace knew he was playing with Rook, both in bed and with his feelings. At first it was just exhilarating to have that much influence over someone, but then he started to develop feelings for Rook too and it all became more complicated for Ace.

And 2 edits: Rook eating Mozzarella sticks and Lion with a flower crown!
