Elevate your Data Visualization Skills with ChatGPT

(Images made by author with DALL·E) Data visualization is a powerful way to convey insights from raw data. Python’s robust visualization libraries make it possible to create informative charts. However, creating impactful visualizations with these tools can be time-consuming and challenging. This is where chatbots like ChatGPT become invaluable. In this post, we will illustrate how ChatGPT can…

please...... what are the rose colour stereotypes in rose knights...... how many colours are there....... please reveal the lore......

I was both looking forward to and dreading this question in equal measures. So! *cracks knuckles* Let's do a very quick, very messy introduction to the Rose Color stereotypes and Color lore! Lets start with the basics:

There are 7 primary colors Roses usually fall into - purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, white and black. How a rose becomes any color isn't an exact science, but the common character traits these colors have means anybody can look at a Purple Rose and think "Hm! You're probably confident in your skills" or glance at a Yellow Rose and assume "Bright and happy guy" with some accuracy. These are stereotypes, after all. They don't apply to everybody, but a good portion of them do.

But if we're counting the shades and flavors in-between all the normal 7 colors? You have A LOT of niche vibes and ways a Rose can express themself. And a Rose's color isn't static! It can change hues slowly over years, or radically change from 2 different colors in a matter of days or hours. What triggers a color-change depends on the individual and the circumstances they were in.

Extra types of Roses that fall outside of the usual 7 categories include Green Roses! Roses who are born Green (instead of White) don't have the magic ability to change color. The official stereotype tied with Green isn't so much a character trait, and more like an assumption that someone in your family tree must've been something "not a Rose".* (*Green Roses are guaranteed to have a Dragon in their family history) If a Rose is brown, the assumption is that they are dying for real or their mental/emotional health is a trashcan on fire. Roses who are trying to force themselves to be a different color might also turn brown- but it's more like their colors got blended and muddied together too much, confusing the Rose who's trying too hard to be something they clearly aren't comfortable being.

And of course there's Blue! The color associated with the Impossible, heroes, and prophets. Amongst other things that are high and mighty and have a of weight attached to them! No pressure whatsoever, Lapis. You've got this whole "Prophetic Hero" stereotype thing in the bag! SO YEAH. UH. How's that for an introduction into Rose color lore? Is this a good start? Grief there's so many ideas and lore floating in my head it's hard to pick what sounded important or relevant to your question. But hopefully you got something out of it! Thank you for asking!

While I’m Scum Villain posting:

Shen Yuan’s little sister also gets transmigrated (Ning Yingying maybe?) but neither he nor she know the other is there for a hot minute and she is in an endless shipwar to the death with Liu Mingyan over who Shen Qingqiu will end up with. (She is a diehard Liushen stan which Liu Mingyan has several objections to)

The ship war doesn’t end when she finds out Shen Qingqiu is actually her San-ge and if anything she leans harder into the Liushen beliefs because she has seen with her own two eyes he will treat Yuan-ge right in his time of need (mourning his student). She does however have to deal with her brother’s constant teasing about there being something more than a rivalry between her and Mingyan and honestly what is he even thinking he doesn’t know anything.

Hey all, sorry I've been so quiet on here. I was in a bad car accident earlier this year and have had a lot of challenges coming out of that. I'm doing better and would still like to get back to my lotura stories soon! But I am finding that my brain wants to write using present tense now instead of past tense? a;dfja

As part of getting back into the swing of writing lotura, if there's a story you'd like to see updated or have a quick drabble request for a warmup (and don't mind if it's in present tense lol), let me know!

I hope you all are doing okay and staying safe/healthy!

Mini Health/life update!:

Just wanted to drop a lil update cause I’ve been mega mia! At the end of September/start of October I ended up being hospitalised for about a week due to getting a pretty bad case of pneumonia. Was a really scary time but I luckily got through it but am still undergoing tests to montier recovery and am dealing with knock on effects from my other chronic health issues.

Against all odds I luckily still managed to play Dorothy in the production of Wizard Of Oz I was in and since then and have been trying to catch up with university and get through other irl home and mental/physical health issues. (And a power outage and rat infestation… I’m starting to get how tails feels when we all put him through horrific events for angst).

I can’t express how much people’s support and patience has meant to me and while I’m not 100% back I really hope I can get back on tumblr a bit more soon cause I love and miss the bros and everyone on here so much! 💛💛💛

I really hope you’ve all been well and will try and get back to everyone soon! 🫂

It’s my birthday this coming Wednesday and if one more crazy life event happens to me before then I think I’m actually gonna go insane lol.

Saw a post about mutuals you would go to a cemetery with and got curious so I made a poll.

I visit cemeteries fairly often, I think, but i don't really have a frame of reference for normal. Our town's sledding hill is in the local cemetery and it's a great place to take a walk. I do have relatives buried there, but I don't visit their graves that often. I also enjoy visiting old country cemeteries when I'm out hiking.

Bro. Y'all.

So I've been kinda disappointed by Arcane S2 for a lot of different reasons (I don't hate it all!!! I just feel like a LOT of narrative choices/storytelling directions would have been better in another way).

Chatting with a friend about this at length and I high-key wanna compile this all into a word document, essentially rewriting all the S2

I feel like I'm straight up the only person feeling let down over S2. Like I'm glad it's gotten so much hype bc I think animated media needs to be supported and funded more. But man, it sure does feel isolating feeling disappointed and you just see the world raving all excited about it.

More stuff about my Merlin soulmate au:

Something I think I forgot to mention last time is that soulmates take comfort in the presence and physical contact of each other, feeling safe and content with them by their side.

The other kingdoms view Uther's policies on soulmates to be barbaric and cruel, and is a contributing factor to the tension and conflicts Camelot faces with the surrounding kingdoms.

Morgana still goes evil in this one lads, but with an important change of her anger being exclusively directed at Uther, Arthur, and Merlin. Gwen is her soulmate and she loves her, she wants Gwen at HER side. Her rage at getting a vision of Gwen becoming queen isn't because she is queen, but because she's ARTHURS queen (I do want to clarify that Gwen and Morgana's relationship in this au is platonic, but it only makes sense for Morgana to want one of her soulmates to rule beside her, and her other soulmates are her sister and a child)

So all the attempts on Gwen's life are gone (though both the shade plot and the dark tower might still be in play, but with the intention to get Gwen back all to herself, not to harm her)

(Merlin does not know Morgana is one of Gwen's other soulmates until after he poisoned her and Gwen let's slipped that she's really worried about Morgana, but at least she knows she's alive.)

(Gwen being Morgana's soulmate is a treasure trove of angst that I do plan on exploring fully)

The Coming of Arthur is going to be fun in regards to Morgana and Gwen (and Leon)

Morgana promising Gwen that no harm will come to her, not with her by her side.

"I know it's not fair of me to make you choose between soulmates, but Gwen, I can bring peace back to Camelot. Magic can be free again, soulmates cherished as they are supposed to be. Please, join me."

But the thing is, Morgana isn't just asking Gwen to choose between two halves of her soul. She knows both Leon and Merlin would never forsake Arthur, and if she chose Morgana, she would also lose both of them, not just Arthur. It's an unfair position to be in, an impossible situation (she chooses anyway. The Morgana she knew never would have ordered the death of innocent civilians to punish those who would not obey her. Something happened to the girl she loves, shes having trouble recognizing the holder of a piece of her soul)

(Gwen still goes to the dungeon to bring Leon food, though it goes a little differently, with Leon learning that Morgana is her soulmate. More on that in another post)

Arthur is going to repeal the laws against soulmates and magic as soon as he becomes king (he has been aware of Merlin’s status as a sorcerer for years and is unable to see how magic can be evil and corrupting when Merlin is one of the best people he knows and his soulmate to boot)

Due to most of them growing up under laws that prohibit talking about soulmates, it takes everybody far too fucking long to realize that they are all soulmates with each other cause no one says anything or compares notes.

I know its mean, but they finally figure it all out following Lancelot's death

(I have tried to figure out a way for him to survive but I really don't think he can)

(Poor Gwen all alone in Camelot breaking down while helping care for people because she feels Lancelot *die* with only Gaius to help her. No other soulmates available to hold her and help her feel a little less empty, a little less alone.)

Everyone experiencing the same pain and all knowing they just lost Lancelot leads to conversation.

Because while everyone in the group had been bonded with Lancelot, not everyone is bound together, which is totally possible, but Arthur knows he's soul bound to half this group, it would make sense to check if there's others in the group.

I will make a separate post about the events of the darkest hour cause I think this would get very long if I had it in here

Now, something I haven't gotten into yet is the magic part of soulmates (so far it's mainly been the destiny and social ramifications and interpersonal details)

Soulmarks are magic, and in some cases, an individual can develop a soulmate ability, a single ability that can be used in regards to exclusively one's bonded soulmates

Now these abilities vary in strength and specificity, some are dictated by touch, others apply no matter where they are in the world

Some soulmate abilities I've come up with thus far are:

The ability to always know what direction their soulmate is in relation to themself

The ability to know when their soulmate is lying to them, and a more broad varient of always knowing when they are lying period

The ability to always instinctually know what it is their soulmate truly means when they speak (I'm very tempted to give this to Gwen because I think it would make things interesting with Morgana, but I am worried it might break things a bit)

The ability to know what their soulmate is feeling emotionally by looking at them or touching them (I think I'm going to give this one to Leon?)

An ability confined to touch that brings to the soulmate's attention what their body most needs at that moment. (It's requires intent to be put into use, and it doesn't necessarily make the soulmate do that thing? It's not compulsory. It's more "Hey you're fucking exhausted you need sleep," or "Crying sounds so nice right now," or "Dude, EAT," and they can still fight these things, if they choose to, but those things are now at the forefront of their attention (making them more likely to be heeded))

Now, an ability I've thought EXTENSIVELY about:

A very rare and (before Uther nuked everything having to do with magic and soulmates) coveted ability that allows someone to, through constant touch, share their life force with their dying soulmate in order to keep then alive.

So say, for example, somebody (Soulmate A) is actively bleeding out from a fatal wound. The soulmate with the ability (Soulmate B) would have to touch soulmate A, skin to skin contact, and have this desperation, determination that soulmate A will not die, they won't let them.

Now, a couple things would happen.

One: Soulmate B's soulmark on Soulmate A's skin would move in some way to the point of injury (the method may vary depending on what their mark looks like. Like if the mark was a flower, the stem may extend and the mark itself stays stationary, or if it's something that's alive it would just fully move) and start "healing" the wound

Healing being in quotes because

Two: The injury is really being transferred partially to Soulmate B, enough so that the injury to Soulmate A is no longer immediately fatal, for the duration that they keep contact with Soulmate A. This buys Soulmate A time to be healed properly, but if the underlying injury is not healed in a timely manner, both Soulmate A and B could die.

Healing Soulmate A would also heal Soulmate B, as it was never truly their injury (though it sure feels and acts like it, and can be just as deadly if help isn't gotten in time.)

Because this ability is so inherently magic and is considered a spell, Soulmate B, even if they have the capacity to use other magic, can not cast a healing spell while using this spell, as it's only possible to cast one spell at a time.

I am naturally giving this ability to Merlin.

But the thing about abilities like this one is that it's impossible to know if you have it or not until the situation calls for it for the first time. It's impossible to know until your soulmate is dying right in front of you. Until you reach out and wish with every fiber in your being that they survive and they DO

The other thing about this ability? It can only be used once per soulmate. One get out of death free card and that's it

I haven't fully figured out if the dark tower would still happen, but if it does, Merlin would discover this ability saving Elyan's life (with the help of the knights who have to on the fly learn healing magic or else lose *both* of them)

That's going to be it for this post as it's starting to get long, but I have other posts I'm already working on. Also, if anyone has any questions, ideas, or suggestions in regards to this au, please feel free to send them my way!

EPISODE 1 WAS PRETTY GOOD BUT EPISODE 2 IS FUCKING AWESOME SO FAR

[aetherceuse]

Brief notes on Beast!Lusamine (as Sappy has lovingly labeled her):

Shares physical traits with Nihilego. (NOT the Mother Beast design though, that is an entirely different concept.)

Flexible glass carapace encasing her torso, It's incredibly durable, perhaps a step or two below bullet proof glass, but not easy to shatter. Similar exoskeleton on her limbs.

The same glass is already naturally occurring in her hair. (It's the shiny bits you see in her art!)

If injured, the glass shatters, but will gradually regenerate, similar to a slime mold.

Cerebrospinal fluid flowing through her spinal cord is full of the same neurotoxin found in Nihilego.

Sprouts tendrils identical to Nihilego's from all parts of her body, made from the same glassy material.

The tendrils that sprout from her spinal column have stingers at the end of them, capable of injecting neurotoxin into a target. Tendrils attached to any other part of the body cannot deliver the neurotoxin, but are still able to leave burns.

She is able to retract the tendrils at will, and prefers to keep them hidden.

Lusamine's connection with the Nihilego swarm allows her to communicate with them and call for aid when in distress.

Her beasthood abilities are still underdeveloped; Lusamine has kept this part of herself hidden for the majority of her life. She does whatever she can to keep it a secret, going as far as making witnesses of her true form disappear.

If she were to train and focus on growing stronger, she would develop more abilities in line with what Nihilego are capable of-- namely, the ability to cloak themselves with invisibility, altering human memories, and hijacking nervous systems.

She can use Poison Jab and Venoshock!

Like other Ultra Space denizens with strong genetic connections to their Ultra Beast ancestors, Lusamine is able to pass through the wormholes without suffering amnesia and the other effects that Fallers are left with.

Manifestation of the tendrils and stingers is agonizing and painful if done so by force-- either by cracking her carapace or pushing her into a defensive position where she has no other choice but to attack.

During her upbringing as a child at the hands of a pair of Silph Co. scientists, various experiments were done to force Lusamine to show her alien traits for the sake of research. This resulted in her disdain for being touched, her lack of trust in people, and her sense of isolation in the world. Countless lab assistants and researchers were fatally stung, which lead to Lusamine's caretakers assigning people to escort and supervise her in public, and at home, to prevent incidents outside of the lab.

This was also the very first documented case of a fatal encounter with an Ultra Beast.

You can, technically scan her with a Pokedex, but you cannot capture her. Scanning her results in logging a dex entry for Nihilego.

Can you use held items on her??? Maybe. She hasn't tried.

She is not just a Nihilego taking on a humanoid form; while UB-Symbiont is capable of disguising themselves as humans, and using illusions to appear as different creatures, this is not the case with Lusamine. The evolutionary tree of Ultra Beasts and Ultra Humans is not as divergent as the one that humans and Pokémon branch off from. (You know how humans irl can still have neanderthal DNA? Think of it like that. Except this is a much more dramatic and science fiction-y ordeal)
