#sky exploits

[awd-dusk]

so i’ve discovered a glitch that lets you wear boots with any pants.

(those are the jelly whisper pants, you usually can’t wear boots wit them)

basically what you do is you go into the outfit closet, select the pants you want wear boots with, then select one of the new season pants that you don’t have yet, go to the boots section of the closet, select the boots you want, after all that simply walk out of the closet, and there you have it.

as far as i can tell they stay on between realms as well as if you logout.

sorry i would’ve made a tutorial with pictures but the sky servers don’t want to cooperate with me rn

Edit: this also works with any of the base game pants you don't have.

there are some days when no matter how good the music or the company or the food, no matter how comfortable you are or how much tea you make, no matter what friends are online, you just feel miserable.

*old vet voice* Back in my day we didn't need these fancy krill repellent spells, we had...

The Home Glitch

What was the home glitch? Well, to put it simply, it was a way of using the game's menus to keep a krill attack from knocking winged light out of you. Named for the fact that its most common form used the "going Home" menu, this glitch took advantage of the "invincibility" that being in certain menus would give you for things like krill or crab attacks. Another menu that was often used was the emote help menu, though the Home one was used more due to being faster to access, as well as certain instruments that made you sit down to play them

Now, while the glitch would ensure you kept your winged light (and stayed lit, unless you were in Eden) following a krill or crab attack, it was still possible for a krill to fling you away when it hit. Crabs, oddly enough, would just phase through you. I should know. I tested it way back when. Back when collision damage was still a thing, this meant that even if a krill didn't extinguish you, if you got knocked into a wall, you'd still lose some light. However, that was eventually phased out, so the home glitch became basically invincible

That is, until someone (or multiple someones) complained to TGC on the official facebook page and the glitch was removed 😔 A lot (and I do mean a lot) of players were salty about this... including myself, but who's counting? Later invincibility tricks included the sitting instrument glitch, and a few other minor ones that never became particularly widespread, but these too were eventually removed

Genuinely love how you characterise getou. Many people imagine him as a goody two shoes who is always kind reliable and follows rules (and to be fair he was canonically an “exemplary student” and more popular than gojo but I digress), but him being an excellent liar who uses it to his advantage just..makes so much more sense to me idk 😭

you know those people who can sweet talk you into doing anything for them, and you don’t even realise in the moment that you got played (only to figure it out weeks or months later)? mhm that’s him. And worst part being he’s always so soft spoken along with being a smooth conversationalist, so good luck getting him to admit he wanted something from you, you’d only end up looking crazy.

Bro knows he’s charming and exploits it to max as and when he needs it 🥴🤭

i think there's a hs geto adult geto divide just as there's a gojo hs adult gojo divide. i think hs geto had no qualms lying and using his honor student charm but it was never that malicious. he tells you the sky is purple because he thinks it's fun to mess with you. i think he had his condescending cocky moments with gojo but it was never that bad. i think adult geto is bad.

« The Feat » by Svetoslav Roerich

nope is a really good movie because i adamantly believe i'm the only person who fully grasps its brilliance and everyone else is illiterate simpletons. surefire sign of a masterpiece

but for real, i'm disappointed that i STILL haven't seen anyone point out that Jupe called Jean Jacket 'The Viewers.' he was consumed and killed by the viewers. Jupe actively participates in the fetishization and commodification of his own childhood trauma and encourages people to uncritically consume that nostalgic racism because it gives him an illusion of power, it makes him feel in control- and he does the exact same thing with Jean Jacket

Jean Jacket is obviously analogous with Gordy, but it's not a coincidence that Jupe both calls it the viewers and visually designs the aliens after the cameras that recorded him. ITS UNFOLDED FORM IS DESIGNED AFTER AN OLD FILM CAMERA. Jean Jacket eats the Audience, the Actor, the Horses, and the Cameraman alike. it's analogous to fame, and the path to fame. it consumes all who pursue it.

Just read that there's a new method of getting every pokemon (yes EVERYONE OF THEM, even shiny celebi and purple kecleon!) as an egg in pmd sky/time/darkness. Without real cheating.

If you're already using a wonder mail generator, that's good, because it works just like that.

After some additional research, I moved the timeline of "It's Not The Sky I'm Asking For" about a decade (from 1850s to 1860s) to better fit the time period i actually thought i was referencing

But unfortunately that SIGNIFICANTLY changes the expected travel time from the east coast to the west coast, because of how much railroad expansion was happening at that time

And now idk if i'd rather rethink my expectations about culture/dress, or rework the timeline to fit more period accurate travel times, or just ignore it (bc really is anyone but me going to care that the travel actually should have taken 4-6 weeks rather than the ~5 months I was originally planning around?)

As relentless rains pounded LA, the city’s “sponge” infrastructure helped gather 8.6 billion gallons of water—enough to sustain over 100,000 households for a year.

Earlier this month, the future fell on Los Angeles. A long band of moisture in the sky, known as an atmospheric river, dumped 9 inches of rain on the city over three days—over half of what the city typically gets in a year. It’s the kind of extreme rainfall that’ll get ever more extreme as the planet warms.

The city’s water managers, though, were ready and waiting. Like other urban areas around the world, in recent years LA has been transforming into a “sponge city,” replacing impermeable surfaces, like concrete, with permeable ones, like dirt and plants. It has also built out “spreading grounds,” where water accumulates and soaks into the earth.

With traditional dams and all that newfangled spongy infrastructure, between February 4 and 7 the metropolis captured 8.6 billion gallons of stormwater, enough to provide water to 106,000 households for a year. For the rainy season in total, LA has accumulated 14.7 billion gallons.

Long reliant on snowmelt and river water piped in from afar, LA is on a quest to produce as much water as it can locally. “There's going to be a lot more rain and a lot less snow, which is going to alter the way we capture snowmelt and the aqueduct water,” says Art Castro, manager of watershed management at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. “Dams and spreading grounds are the workhorses of local stormwater capture for either flood protection or water supply.”

Centuries of urban-planning dogma dictates using gutters, sewers, and other infrastructure to funnel rainwater out of a metropolis as quickly as possible to prevent flooding. Given the increasingly catastrophic urban flooding seen around the world, though, that clearly isn’t working anymore, so now planners are finding clever ways to capture stormwater, treating it as an asset instead of a liability. “The problem of urban hydrology is caused by a thousand small cuts,” says Michael Kiparsky, director of the Wheeler Water Institute at UC Berkeley. “No one driveway or roof in and of itself causes massive alteration of the hydrologic cycle. But combine millions of them in one area and it does. Maybe we can solve that problem with a thousand Band-Aids.”

Or in this case, sponges. The trick to making a city more absorbent is to add more gardens and other green spaces that allow water to percolate into underlying aquifers—porous subterranean materials that can hold water—which a city can then draw from in times of need. Engineers are also greening up medians and roadside areas to soak up the water that’d normally rush off streets, into sewers, and eventually out to sea...

To exploit all that free water falling from the sky, the LADWP has carved out big patches of brown in the concrete jungle. Stormwater is piped into these spreading grounds and accumulates in dirt basins. That allows it to slowly soak into the underlying aquifer, which acts as a sort of natural underground tank that can hold 28 billion gallons of water.

During a storm, the city is also gathering water in dams, some of which it diverts into the spreading grounds. “After the storm comes by, and it's a bright sunny day, you’ll still see water being released into a channel and diverted into the spreading grounds,” says Castro. That way, water moves from a reservoir where it’s exposed to sunlight and evaporation, into an aquifer where it’s banked safely underground.

On a smaller scale, LADWP has been experimenting with turning parks into mini spreading grounds, diverting stormwater there to soak into subterranean cisterns or chambers. It’s also deploying green spaces along roadways, which have the additional benefit of mitigating flooding in a neighborhood: The less concrete and the more dirt and plants, the more the built environment can soak up stormwater like the actual environment naturally does.

As an added benefit, deploying more of these green spaces, along with urban gardens, improves the mental health of residents. Plants here also “sweat,” cooling the area and beating back the urban heat island effect—the tendency for concrete to absorb solar energy and slowly release it at night. By reducing summer temperatures, you improve the physical health of residents. “The more trees, the more shade, the less heat island effect,” says Castro. “Sometimes when it’s 90 degrees in the middle of summer, it could get up to 110 underneath a bus stop.”

LA’s far from alone in going spongy. Pittsburgh is also deploying more rain gardens, and where they absolutely must have a hard surface—sidewalks, parking lots, etc.—they’re using special concrete bricks that allow water to seep through. And a growing number of municipalities are scrutinizing properties and charging owners fees if they have excessive impermeable surfaces like pavement, thus incentivizing the switch to permeable surfaces like plots of native plants or urban gardens for producing more food locally.

So the old way of stormwater management isn’t just increasingly dangerous and ineffective as the planet warms and storms get more intense—it stands in the way of a more beautiful, less sweltering, more sustainable urban landscape. LA, of all places, is showing the world there’s a better way.

^me getting ready to devour this analysis hehehe

Gosh this is literally SO GOOOOD

How you manage to get such a grasp on these characters and so such a thorough analysis amazes mee

THANK YOU!! this will help me so much in my endeavours to cause ✨ problems✨ between these two😈

Luna, my dear sweet friend, can I pick your brain?

Lofty gave me a veeerrry good scenario for a Time vs Sky conflict, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on what that could look like? I picked 2 very mature characters and now I have to make them brawl lolol

I think the best route (for me at least) wouldn't involve the master sword or Hylia. So this would be a personality conflict. I don't wanna spoil the scenario she gave me, so I thought I'd ask for your general opinion on what you think would make them fight, personality wise🥰

Feel free to delete if you don't care to go over this, but I thought I'd ask cus you're really good at going in depth with character analysis❤️

BYE FRIEND😀 also I hope you're doing well and you're amazing and wonderful❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

YES ok so personality conflicts between Sky and Time. There's... a lot to look at there lol.

So I'm just gonna look at each of their personalities +flaws, and then how they interact :))

Soo for Time

Time is dad. He's older and more experienced- and he's still a stubborn gremlin like all of them. He's patient with them but also stern- he cares very deeply about all the boys and Sky is no exception

I don't doubt for a second Time wants to be just as close to Sky as the others

One of Times biggest flaws is the idea of a closed mindset. Which makes sense, since we know Time's ending as the hero's shade- he spends years in that mindset of regret. Time has these thoughts of being too old to change (<no), and allows himself to keep holding onto bitterness, especially about the sword. Which he has good reason to be a grumpy old man already, with the mental and physical age difference, but still

Time is obviously capable of changing his mind- as Wind took a challenge to prove

But overall Time is still. He's not super expressive, my man likes to just be. He wants to be still and live, and hero as needed, and not be a super crazy hero, but just a chill dude with malon.

Time is patient and stern and calm and good. He is also closed and stubborn. That's all good, but it doesn't always work the best with Sky.

So Sky.

I literally love this ask because I could rant forever about his flaws to talk about them more (no one kill me).

Sky very highly values being a hero as part of who he is- in contrast to time who literally just doesn't want to.

I see so much of Sky's patience. And with good reason- with others Sky is endlessly patient and calm in resolving conflict. He's emotionally intuitive and intelligent and awesome

But Sky is also I think extremely impatient. With himself, and with things around him that aren't going well.

He wants answers and he wants them now, which is kind of scary from him. I see a lot about Skys temper, but I don't want to forget how much of that is from impatience- not knowing how to handle things going slow.

Because things moving fast and violently is how it needs to be right? *cough cough IMPA

For all sky is extremely patient with others feelings, he is one of the most impatient people with himself and his circumstances. Which a lot of comes from immaturity, which is my next point-

Sky is. A monster with pranks. I don't even know why it took me so long to realise this was Sky-

Saying 'I know we should help but this is too funny'. Twilight and wild are looking disturbed and like they want to help, and Sky and legend are just cold-blooded leaving four struggling for his shield and taking bets. He's very immature, and furthermore, he doesn't really respect Time as an authority as much in the face of pranking/joking

Bro is not remorseful at all I swear-

I also think 'nice hair' Sky is a little... idk judgy? With people he doesn't get along with as well. Like Hyrule. (Wait I haven't yet I gotta rant on that sometime sorry- but yeah he and Hyrule don't vibe well)

Sky can also be unrestrained with his words and snark- his words can practically be a prank in itself 'nice hair' 'am I late?'. I think sometimes he toes the line with pranks and joking around (like that one quest where you could break Peatrices heart?), and same with his words. Overall he's a snarky and sharper person- and being able to pull off good pranks and jokes isn't inherently a bad thing- he's smart. He's a kind person too, but I think sometimes his words and actions can be too sharp.

I think Jojo also said in the post with their ages that she made him slightly younger because of his immaturity compared to twilight. Do with that what you will

So point is, Sky has flaws that are mildly subtle but still prominent, like his impatience with himself and situations, his immaturity with joking and temper and words, and I hc he's a slightly judgy person. 'Nice costume' to Zelda like SKY but I swear I love him. Don't kill me for discussing flaws please I have a dog

So how this comes together with between him and Time is pretty cool-

Skys impatient, and Time has a resistance to change in his mindset- which means that as far as the sword, Sky wants change now, he wants validation and Time to not hate it. Time does not care about this because the sword hurt him and he's spent years hating it.

But with situations and stuff, especially with the entrance arc, we can see Sky being very impatient after Twi's injury- from what I can tell he wants to rip dinks throat out. But it's still subtle- what's not as subtle is how much Time wants to slow down. He wants to hold them back and protect them, and Sky is impatient in a frustrating situation. I could honestly see Sky wanting to run after the shadow on his own right now (sorry, I've been rereading elastic heart). Sometimes patient + wanting to hurry up doesn't work well.

If you think about it in relation to their journeys it makes sense that they are portrayed this way. Skys journey was about rushing and trying to hurry up. Times journeys were horrifying, with this insane feeling of running out of time.. but he could still turn back said time.

I can't even count the number of people I've seen say they tried to rush through the eldin temple as fast as possible on reruns- after Impa telling him it was too late trying to run as fast as possible even knowing it wouldn't change anything. That translates into skys character, and it must be insanely frustrating for him.

They are both heros. Time's journey was about saving the world and Sky's was about trying to kill a god. It's a big disconnect between them- one is patient and one is not, one doesn't want to be a hero and one's life is being a hero dating a goddess. One lightheartedly jokes and one throws a love letter down the toilet (SKY), one is older and one is immature. Yet on the surface Time wears a scowl and Sky is as soft as can be.

They are so very different in so many ways, but so much alike- they are both heros, they both want to be young and playful at heart. They both really like stabbing things and setting them on fire. And also saving the world.

They are also both extremely mature in ways beyond their years and endlessly kind.

I love them so much.

I wasn't sure to say this in the post bc the ask is about personalities, but I feel like another major issue between them could be whatever happened with Time and timelines and the triforce. Obviously the timeline is messed up. I also have not played times games... but I think in timeline talk one he mentioned the triforce of courage ended up broken? I can see Sky not taking well to all of that.

Soooo in terms of personality conflicts that would make them. Fight? Yikes what are you planning Oma, I would say there's several possible triggers outside of the master sword and Hylia (which I think is wise of you to avoid btw)

I think that Skys impatience contrasting with Time's fixed mindsets can have issues. But the way Sky has shown no acknowledgment of Time when he's tried to stop the boys goofing off w/ pranking can also be a trigger- as well as that sharp and sometimes insensitive snarkiness in Skys words we all know and love. They have. A lot of issues. lol.

Yeah! I uhh hope that helped and was relevant or made sense at all- I swear I love these guys. These two are fun to look at because outside of the obvious stressor of the sword they have a lot of other issues as well. They have differences in thinking and personality that can lead to a lot of tension between them.

Thank you for the ask and I can't wait to see what you come up with

Thank you for listening to my rant, and here's one of my favourite pictures of these guys

Thinking about how Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy are all business owners. Meanwhile Pinkie Pie has an apprenticeship and Rainbow Dash starts the series in a dead-end job and eventually becomes a professional athlete. The horses have jobs. They earn money they can spend. Do the horses have economic theory? Characters like Filthy Rich indicate obvious wealth disparity exists. They live under horse capitalism. Does that mean there is also horse communism? Is there a horse Karl Marx? How does Celestia feel about her subjects using money to exploit eachother? Why doesn't she step in? Can Celestia be paid off to look the other way? Does Celestia also need money? She controls the fucking sun in the sky but she's still beholden to the power of capital? This is fucked
