Au idea: the rich kids club

Their parents fucked them all the way up

Context: The rich kids “club” is basically a group that Chloe made as a safe space for the four to vent and to rest when they get overwhelmed

After Adrien’s home life went on the start of going downhill (well more than before) they decided to put money in a savings box with four locks and each have a key to one lock. If one or all four members decide to run away they must know to at least say goodbye

They all tried to leave the country together but Gabriel used the butterfly miraculous to make an Akama and held the entirety of France hostage so they couldn’t escape until hawkmoth was defeated

That’s when su hang personally handed them miraculous’s and made a deal to become Guardians in exchange to give them a place to stay away from French

Obscure Character Showdown FINALE

[image ID: the first image is of image is of No Significant Harassment, a shadowy figure standing behind a sleeping pink-red, fox-like creature. their green hands seem to be holding up the floating creature. the second image is of Granger, a girl with green eyes and short, wavy or curly black hair. in her hair is a red hat or ribbon. she's wearing a black turtleneck sweater, blue overalls, and a green coat. end ID]

No Significant Harassment

[NSH has beaten Akama (The Idiot (1951)), Libby Day (Dark Places), Sally Swing (Betty Boop), Shrimp (The Upturned), Oopsy Bear (Care Bears (2007 series)), Hikaru (Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu), and Diggory Graves (Hello from the Hallowoods)] They're just a silly little guy. A jokester. Significant harassment if you will. Anyway, a more in depth run down: They're a city sized supercomputer built by a Buddhist adjacent society to figure out how to transcend the 'Great Cycle' (semi-metaphorical cycle of death and rebirth) in a safer way than the previous method (submerging oneself in the 'void sea' which is a mysterious golden liquid that dissolves whatever it touches). Despite being built for this express purpose NSH never really shows a pressing interest in ascension, even cracking jokes about those who are still looking for a solution. Whether this is due to indifference, dislike of, or humor to cope with being unable to ascend is not clear and really up to interpretation. Example: NSH: I wish them super good luck in that endeavor. How is it going to happen? Have the overseers gnaw through bedrock until their entire can crashes down in the void sea? BSM: Please be respectful when speaking of the Void Sea. Grey Wind, where did you hear this? CW: I really shouldn't say. He's going to attempt some sort of breeding program. Thought you might want to know. NSH: Haha with the slimers, lizards and etceteras? Surely the answer was in a lizard skull all along! He's very flippant, but does care very intensely for those close to him. NSH: Moon? It's me again. NSH: I do not know if you are receiving these. Please signal in any way you can. NSH: I need to talk to you. I need to know you're okay. NSH: … NSH: Its difficult for us to assist you over this distance. NSH: Even more difficult for us to do anything in the midst of these tantrums. NSH: Were going to try everything that we can. NSH: Just hold on a little longer. (Context for previous convo: They genetically engineered a super organism of a slugcat (the species you play as in Rain World) to help reset his coworker/sibling after her collapse and restart her systems. He was so desperate to fix her that he accidentally messed up the slugcat's (Hunter) genetic code and as a result it became riddle with the Rot (relatively similar to aggressive cancer) :( which parallels his other coworker/siblings condition who also has the rot. ) He canonically uses he/they pronouns too! Nonbinary swag! NSH has major internet troll vibes. He has sent a data pearl of "something distasteful" to his neighbors on several(?) occasions and causes chaos. If he had access to the wider internet he'd probably be an influencer So…yeah! Vote NSH this website likes the allure of heavy machinery and stuff like that so… there you go. Kind of a blorbo. End post.

Granger

[Granger has beaten Chopfyt (Oz), Wolfman (Darkwood), Gaap Goemon (Mairimashita! Iruma-kun), Forest Friend (Gris), Turnip (Chicory: A Colorful Tale), Gary (Faith the Unholy Trinity), and Stag Malinay (Krystar First Fragment)] so granger is the main character of the indie game "NeverHome" Chapter one, which is only $1 on Steam, is called NeverHome: Hall of Apathy. if ur a fan of young protags being put in RPG maker horror games, then this is the game for you!! so granger is just that… she wakes up to find herself in a strange, hostile world. she, along with the friends she makes, must solve the various puzzles before them while creatures are out to kill them… and along the way they can uncover the secrets of these never ending halls… her dynamics with the cast is also super fun… each character gets their moment or moments with granger. and what's so cute is that there's unique art for each pair that highlights the fact you cant get through these halls alone!! she also has her own theme song!! here!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_vwtmIj5cw it's called cyclical tragedy AND HERE IS AN ANALYSIS OF THE THEME!! MUSIC THEORY!!! written by my good friend @HIEMIOLA "cyclical tragedy" embodies the protagonist, granger, through the music theory behind the track and ties itself back into the main track as well. to begin with an overview of the track, the key is D minor and hte time signature is 3/4. the piece begins with a broken minor third starting from the tonic. that is, it begins on the main note and moves along the main chord, D to F. the next set of notes are C to E, which is shifted down a step. the phrase repeats again, this time D to F, then G to E, which is an inverse movement from the original sequence. even in this first part, we could tell that the protagonist begins from square 1 with a simple pattern, then tries it again when it works. however, the inverse breaks that expectation of repetition, thus showing the diverse variations of solutions she comes up with using just the tools she has (the two notes moving in thirds). just like the game, she is given a handful of objects as well as a knife to defend herself and solve the mysteries of the world she exists in. with her creative uses of the items given to her, she continues on her way through the plot. we will keep moving. the melody begins. true to the title of the track, the melody cycles around the same beginning note, D, that she always returns to at her square 1. this is a nod to the save states she is allowed to keep to make sure that we the players don't lose the game, but it also references the health bar that appears as a circle around her avatar. the melody, mapped out, is also moving in an up-down wave movement across the sheet music. granger is creative with the knife she has and the quest items she obtains throughout the story, but she is not entirely reckless. rather, she knows when it is time to return to the safe rooms to rest. to time her returns requires skill because she must run to cover without being caught by varying her path so the enemies don't corner her as she tries to return to the room. most of the time, she is successful, shown through the consistent return to the beginning note. let's keep going. i would like to turn your attention to the main theme briefly. in the bass notes, you can hear arpeggios and outlined chords. this makes up the bulk of the accompaniment in the main game theme. [mod note: the rest of the essay, and some more propaganda, is continued under a cut because tumblr will not process more text than this in an indent. sorry to split it up, please continue below for the rest of the essay and additional propaganda (including art) !]

the third variation of granger's theme also has arpeggiated chords in the accompaniment while the melody features broken chords. at this stage, the pattern switches to eigth notes instead of the quarter notes at first. with greater movement and heightened senses, she runs throughout world and befriends other people, thus interacting further with the environment. while she isn't exactly someone we would call open, she is respectful to the people she first meets and has no problems with asking them for help when she needs it. because of her openness to working together, she speeds up her progress by asking for aid at obstacles that would be too difficult for her to overcome on her own, such as asking a teammate to break things, move things, or reach into smaller holes. fusing the main theme elements with her own theme marks this step as the inciting incident that sets her on the path to escape from this world. we'll continue.

continuing the same part, we hear some secondary fifths. i'm not entirely sure if this is what you call it, but it is a nod to the parallel key, D major. depending on what theory class you take, this could also be considered the other half of the key. i dont know how else to describe it, but i digress. these are glimpses to different dialogue options she could take, glimpses to a different key or a different ending. because this game only has one chapter ending so far, we are unsure of what other paths granger will end up in; we only know that there are certainly other endings she will experience, only to begin the cycle again when the save state is loaded for players to reach another ending. both A major and G major are chords that signify different choices that may lead her elsewhere only for her to return back to the tonic or main note, D. despite this, she keeps going, as will we.

at the midpoint of the track, we see a quick shift in patterns. instead of upward leaps in the notes, the melody falls in stepwise motion. true to the plot, this is another turning point of the game when she is forced to make a choice: continue or stop. after facing the spoiler event, her once determined personality is challenged as she struggles to keep herself and her team together. despite being the headstrong protagonist who spearheaded solutions, even now she finds herself doubting and taking smaller steps, smaller risks.

even after all of this, she rises to the challenge as the melody returns to its beginning sequence. true to a protagonist she gets up again despite the events that transpired and keeps her team moving in their lowest points. the thirds return as she finds more objects to solve more puzzles to open more rooms to save more friends. this repeating part of the track only solidifies her resolve as the piece ends with a broken chord in the main key, her key, of D minor. despite everything that transpired, she stayed true to herself."

the game is also so, so charming with the art, music, and story made by the same person… its so clearly loved and full of passion!! i love listening to the game's ost on occassion!! since it's all on youtube!

ok one last thing thing!! on may 8th, the game hit 100 downloads (on both steam and itch.io). you can see the creator of the game celebrate that with this lovely drawing of granger: https://twitter.com/NeverHome_Game/status/1655761270694633472

so at most, only a bit over 100 people have played the game… id like to say that makes it obscure!!

anyways granger and neverhome!! we love to see our protagonists put in horrific situations and isn't she super cute with a lil bow on her head? she is my daughter…

New Ranma 1/2 fanfic chapter: Ranma 3/2 Chapter 3

Here is the next chapter for my fic Ranma 3/2

Chapter 3: Blind Tag

Time for school, but which Ranma will be the one attending?

It was truly amazing just how much a mere 24 hours could introduce so many new and interesting surprises for a young and purely innocent girl. Nabiki couldn’t help but think about that as she biked along her usual route to school, the majority of her musings being one (or perhaps as many as four, she speculated) of those surprises from yesterday who was currently running on top of river-side fences and house gate walls, keeping up with her with seemingly no effort. Which, to be fair, really shouldn’t have surprised her at this point. She listened in on the various braggart heavy stories that the one named Kuroma regaled to Kasumi the previous night. And even if one were to discount the clear embellishments given, Akama’s performance that afternoon prior more than demonstrated the potential power of this apparently gestalt boy coming to school with her. Although, the more she thought of it, the more she couldn’t help but wonder if either of those qualifiers were completely accurate. Right, best to clear that up before they made it to their destination. She did have a reputation to maintain after all.

“So,” Nabiki casually called out, “now that I have the chance to talk with just the two of us, more or less, there’s a few things I’d like you to clarify for me.”

“Yeah, figures you’d still have a buncha questions,” the dark haired martial artist sighed as he or maybe she looked down at Nabiki while not missing a step. “Alright, what do ya want to know?”

“Well, first off…” Nabiki drawled out, deliberately pausing for just the exact amount of time to get her target’s interest piqued and vulnerability to its maximum before striking. “It would be good to know who it is I’m actually addressing.”

The Saotome youth seemed to think about this for a moment. “Well, when we’re like this, I guess it’d be easiest just to refer to us as Ranma, since that is who we are after all.”

Nabiki couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at that response, noting that this Ranma appeared to be directing that last part more towards herself or himself rather than towards her. “Interesting, Saotome, but that doesn’t actually answer my question. Namely, which one of the three siblings am I talking to, that is if you really are any of them.”

Since I wanted something I could arrange for myself and only have what I wanted on it, I made some Trojan war relevant maps!

There's nothing truly amazing here, except, I suppose, that I put the Achaean camp down by what's now called Besic Bay. Usually the camp is placed up at the spur (Sigeion), with the wall going straight across the narrowest point. But apparently some scholars (especially some German ones) like to put it down by the bay. Archaeologically, there was a harbour/settlement here. (I briefly considered settling the camp a little higher up on the coast, around where there in at least modern day is another harbour settlement, but I liked the idea of the bay and the archaeological connection. Plus, the bay would be the most obvious point of approach/landing when coming from Tenedos.)

I also put the fortification/rampart the Trojans made for Herakles further south than it's traditionally placed. My reasoning, aside from the fact that I'd already moved the Achaean camp, was that at least in Caroline Alexander's translation it says they built that protection for Herakles "towards the plain". So that's where I put it, but still adjacent to the traditional location. (This is where the pro-Achaean gods are seated in Book 21-22; Kallikolone is where the pro-Trojan gods are seated.)

As I understand it, the whole outflow of the Skamander and probably the Simoeis, too, would make the area closest to Troy too marshy and closed-up for a harbour. I still have let them have a small one, because I wanted to. But the main one is/was down where the Achaeans now have their camp.

The map of the camp is angled as it is to try and show its "actual" alignment/placement along the shore. Makes it easier (most of all for myself haha) to visualize how it's oriented towards the plain (and, further away, towards Troy).

I'm pretty sure it's not Official Canon that each of the gates have at least one tower, or the main gates two; the only tower we know of is the right-hand one, that Menestheus is stationed at. But it made sense to me that if one gate had at least one tower, the others would as well. The ships have been spaced out as they have not just because there are so many of them but because it doesn't make sense to me that the Trojans would be running THROUGH the actual "settled" camp to get to the ships; hence, I've put them in rows. (And even like this, I'm absolutely certain that, just as the Iliad says, the ships would be taking up even more space along the shore. There's too many of them.)

This map is absolutely basing itself on the one(s) that appear in Jenny Strauss Clay's Homer's Trojan Theater, but I've made some elaborations, especially for/around the assembly area and the middle space.

Too, what's also (partially) taken from that book is how/where the named camps in red are placed in comparison to each other. Which, however, is based on the Iliad and I was doing some of that myself. But the schematic in the book made it easier, so I don't want to pretend I didn't use it. The only place I ignored Clay's arrangement was with Menestheus and DIomedes; she has them the other way around (which is why they're not in red).

The reason for where everyone else is placed between the three Iliad-assured ones (Ajax, Odysseus, Achilles) is Vibes, Baby. And they have to be SOMEWHERE between the ones we know, after all.

The names within simple parantheses are where the Catalogue of Ships (generally) mentions other/subcommanders. I didn't bother to go hunting for them anywhere else in the text. Achilles' other commanders aren't mentioned in the Catalogue, of course, but they were easy to remember. The names that are in parantheses within the other parenthesis are presumed to be attached to these people. Demophon and Akamas aren't mentioned in the Iliad but are in other and later works clearly present, and were put with Elephenor after Menestheus got Athens after the Dioskouroi got Helen back. Palamedes, as Nauplion falls within Diomedes' control, I've headcanoned/assumed was one of his commanders, not someone in command of his own force of ships and men.

The gray names denote leaders of contingents that died early war - Thersander during the attack on Teuthrania in Mysia, and Protesilaos during the landing at Troy. (And while he's not included, the Cretan Lycomedes that is mentioned in the Catalogue of Women as a suitor of Helen I headcanon also died during the attack on Theuthrania, so that Idomeneus absorbed his land/cities and thus ships into his own forces.)

Troy! Pretty self-explanatory I think, though a few notes;

The gate stones by the south/middle citadel gate are "real" (and a feature of Hittite cities/religious thought). There was cultic activity performed in a building in the city-side part of my sacred district, which is why I put it on that side of the citadel and the city. It's also believed that the building I made the shrine of Ganymedes had cultic activity as well, so it seemed fitting! The water cave and the well are both archaeologically real; a city needs to have water supply inside its walls, after all. I took inspiration from the Iliad's mention of (outside the walls) hot and cold springs attached to the Skamander and put them inside the walls instead. (Or, if you will, they have outflows inside as well as where the Iliad has them outside.)

Some other myth-related art that draws from the real city puts the Scaean Gates up where I put my (headcanon-named) Hellespontine gate, because for the real Troy that gate ended up the largest one. But it made more sense to me to put the Scaean gates where I've put them, though that's far from the citadel itself; being up on the walls there would give a better view of the plain.

Considering that Troy has two courses of walls, I rather headcanon that the Wooden Horse was placed in the square I put south of the sacred district in the city. Close to the citadel walls but not inside, and as close to the temple of Athena as they could come (I put hers on the inside of the citadel walls).

Masayuki Mori and Setsuko Hara in The Idiot (Hakuchi), Akira Kurosawa, 1951

Cast: Setsuko Hara, Masayuki Mori, Toshiro Mifune, Yoshiko Kuga, Takashi Shimura, Chieko Higashiyama. Screenplay: Eijiro Hisaita, Akira Kurosawa, based on a novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Cinematography: Toshio Ubukata. Production design: Takashi Matsuyama. Film editing: Akira Kurosawa. Music: Fumio Hayasaka.

The Idiot, or Hakuchi, is Akira Kurosawa's mutilated masterpiece, made in the year after Rashomon and the year before Ikiru, with the stars of the former, Masayuki Mori and Toshiro Mifune, in the respective roles of Kameda (the Dostoevsky novel's Prince Myshkin) and Akama (the novel's Rogozhin). And Takashi Shimura, the star of Ikiru, has the key role of Ono, the novel's General Yepanchin. Setsuko Hara, best known for her work with Yasujiro Ozu, is the "kept woman" Taeko Nasu, the novel's Nastassya Filippovna. So it's something of an all-star affair, originally designed as a two-parter. After a flop opening, the studio forced Kurosawa to cut it from its original run time of 256 minutes to the extant 166-minute version. It became something of a brilliant ruin in the process. Kurosawa stuck to Dostoevsky faithfully, while adapting the 19th-century Russian characters and setting to postwar Japan. Mori is, I think, an almost ideal Kameda/Myshkin. The raw edges from the cutting of the film show, however -- it's hard to follow the logic of some the characters' actions, and the presence of the mob that shows up with Rogozhin at one key point in the story goes unexplained in the film. The complex relationship among Takeda, Taeko, and Ono's daughter Ayako (the novel's Aglaya Ivanovna) becomes reduced to a kind of love triangle. But there are few sequences in Kurosawa as haunting as the candlelight vigil Kameda and Akama keep over the body of Taeko at the film's end.

I miss french....

Sorry I’ve had not much time to artwork lately due my work, but here I have emotional but wholesome poetry! Oh well sort of at least I’m trying I’m better at illustration work than poetry ok! *blush* I just know that his came from the depths of my lonely and tortured soul and  I’ve spent 2 hours crying after writting it, so please go and read it! XD

They think that due not being from there,I have no right to

People arround me, don't understand why I do it

But I do 

I miss french

the way one misses an unrequited love

A family member who passed away

Or a friend you cherished

but later you realized

that he was a mean person

I miss french

The way I miss sunsets by the beach

playing with my siblings 

when we were kids

the way I miss my childhood that is now gone

and the dreams I had at those old times

about being hired by dreamworks

akama studios or disney

or one day working with Miyazaki and Takahata

I miss french

the way I miss my first love

And my first intimate time

that I gifted to my exboyfriend

and for which he didn’t give a dime

The same way I miss my innocence

my self-steem my self-confidence

 that he took away with his violence

I miss french

The same way I miss the glory days

of my adolescence

when my parents loved me for who I was

And we all though 

that I had a great future as an illustrator

And animator

And they din’t called me a looser

I miss french

Like something who was taken away from me

since long time ago

Something I cherished so

Deep in my heart

and I know it will never come back

Because it was never there for a start

...But in my heart it always was!

How to download a hard copy of vimeo on demand purchase

Need: VLC

Recommended: ffmpeg (I'm just using this because I already have it)

ffmpeg installation: https://windowsloop.com/install-ffmpeg-windows-10/

Tried: yt-dlp, jdownloader, various extensions on chrome and firefox, inspecting source and searching for "vod" "progressive" "akamaized", etc. Results: FAILURE

This tutorial is working at the time it was made, which is currently: 1:20am, August 26, 2023.

Install Chrome Extension: Vimego Simple Video Downloader

Go to the video you've purchased on vimeo

On the video screen on the right hand side a list will appear with the options available to download. Click on the highest resolution to download, audio is not included, download audio separately.

For the sake of making things with ffmpeg work smoothly, rename the files to something simple such as video.mp4 and audio.mp4 (the audio is downloaded as an mp4 but we'll convert this in the next step using ffmpeg!)

In the folder that the audio was downloaded to, right click, open command window, enter this code to run ffmpeg to convert the audio from mp4 to mp3: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -map 0:a -vn -b:a 256k output.mp3

If you don't have ffmpeg then I suggest finding an online mp4 to mp3 converter.

To download subtitles, follow the guide outlined here: https://gist.github.com/pjmartorell/384aa1d019f919af6b84894038bf29aa?permalink_comment_id=2814547

Simplified instructions from link above: In the video player on vimeo, click on the CC button and select your preferred language. Right click, select Inspect, go to the tab that says Network, in the Filter search bar, type in VTT, select this and right click to open in new tab.

Right click on the tab that you just opened which, select save as. You can rename the file to whatever, such as subtitle.txt or sub.txt, etc. You don't have to save it as a VTT, just adding .txt to the end of the name will save it as a txt file.

Go to https://maestra.ai/tools/subtitle-converter/txt-to-srt and drag and drop your txt file to convert it.

After converting the srt file should look like this when you open it:

You now have the mp4, mp3, and srt file.

All that's left is to combine the video and audio using either of two methods: ffmpeg, or VLC. Ffmpeg takes a couple seconds, VLC will take a while, when I tried it took a few minutes.

Using ffmpeg, enter this code into the command prompt making sure to replace "video.mp4" etc. with what you named the files: ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.mp3 -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mp4

Done, if you don't have ffmpeg, but do have VLC, use the method below ->

Follow these steps from: https://moviemaker.minitool.com/moviemaker/add-audio-to-video-in-vlc.html

Step 1. Run VLC media player. Step 2. Go to Media > Open Multiple Files… Step 3. Load the video file by clicking the Add button. Step 4. Check the boxes Show more options and Play another media synchronously… Step 5. Click Browse, a new window will pop up, add the audio file and click Select. Now the window should look something like this:

Step 6. Click the down arrow icon next to Play and select Convert. Step 7. In the Settings section, next to Profile, click the wrench icon. Then switch to the Audio Codec tab, check the options Audio and Keep original audio track. Click Save. Step 8. Click the Browse button to select a folder to save the converted video. Name the file as you like, then click Start.

Now you can open the new mp4 file in VLC and it will have audio. If VLC doesn't automatically add the subtitle file then go to the tab that says Subtitle > Add subtitle file > Select your srt file. Make sure the srt file is in the same folder as your mp4. VLC should automatically add it when you select your video, so if you follow these steps and it still doesn't work then your file may be corrupted.

If you want to overlay the subtitle to the mp4 so that way you can watch it on a device that doesn't have VLC... Here is a guide I just found using ffmpeg to convert, it works fine for me: https://www.bannerbear.com/blog/how-to-add-subtitles-to-a-video-file-using-ffmpeg/ The link above uses this code: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf subtitles=subtitle.srt output_srt.mp4 (only replace bolded parts with your file names.) There may be other guides on how to add it without using ffmpeg but I haven't tried any of them. Good luck, and happy watching!
