okay I watched restoration and I'll probably analyze it more in depth later when my brain has processed what I've watched but here are some of the thoughts I had while watching (I stopped live blogging part way through so some things may be out of order lols):

okay first thoughts: we’re at a convention, and dylan is some sort of director for some super unpopular thing. ngl that’s a pretty harsh downgrade from journalist/news correspondent. 

hi kai. she seemed to be more like her s15-s17 characterization than her bg/chorus cameo characterization for the 30 seconds she was present (which I remember really disliking)

wash is in the hospital as prisoner 619b…bros did the UNSC arrest him again?!?

“I’m not even sure I got his voice right this time.” okay so restoration IS another simulation

the director being a therapist when the counselor is right there lmao

bros no way they got elijah wood to voice sigma again??

is that the counselor I hear on the PA system??? that’s what the subtitles said anyway. but anyway BROS HE ACTUALLY FUCKING LIVED LETS GO (but why is his ass not in jail??????? there’s no way he managed to get a job, let alone one in a UNSC hospital, but if this IS a simulation which I think it is and epsilon himself admitted to making mistakes already then I’m okay with that development ig)

NO IS DOC A FIGMENT OF WASH’S IMAGINATION NOOOOOO MY MANS IS FINALLY LOSING IT FR

“Listen to me! You’ve gotta listen to me!”

479er??? I’ve always had the hc she was arrested w wash and the other pfl personnel at the end of s6

“Our mission men—and blue” caboose is trans confirmed

“Don’t feel bad afterwards. I forgive you. I know it’s not your fault, I’m sorry this is happening to you.” omg caboose not dunking on tucker is what he presumed to be his final moments.

SARGE GOING TO SAVE CABOOSE <3

oh okay I predicted months ago before the 2nd trailer came out that at least one of the bgc was going to die and I was right! I thought it was going to be caboose but rip sarge (and doc) 

I’m really disappointed that wash didn’t get to do more tbh. the meta was HIS enemy but he was regulated to comedic relief  :(

also wash jumping off a cliff to activate the recovery beacon is :/. bro was literally a recovery agent he should know how to activate it to summon lina like she’s a deployable unit in uhh. ways that were NOT that.

did not expect tex to come back but okay, also tex/lina fighting together feels like fanservice but mmmmmmmmmmnh. 

awww tex and church get to be together again, dying together as one like they did at the end of s6. TEX SOFTLY HOLDING CHURCH’S HAND YES!!! WE LOVE SOFT TENDER TEX IN THIS HOUSE!!!

damn the “wash and lina having their trauma and traits swapped for no reason” thing is. hmmm  don’t like that, have never liked that. I tried to see if I had any posts on my old blog about this topic bc I remember talking about it in the past and I sort of do? eh whatever tldr; lina is the one haunted by the past and wash is supposed to be the one giving the emotional speeches but hhhhhrng. will definitely be talking about that more later even though I thought the scene was super sweet (also ct!!!!!!! my girl!!!!)

I don’t like that they were all separated and that grif was going to leave, these mfs were forced together in a shitty box canyon at the start of the series and I feel like it would’ve been better if instead of being forced together they all chose to stay together but it is what it is.

“Bow chicka bye now.” bros it’s over…

okay ngl it was pretty rushed pacing wise and I’ve got so many bones to pick (mostly about wash bc ofc) but speaking as an ending to the series I think it works. it all started in a box canyon which was later revealed to be an elaborate training simulation, so it’s fitting that it it was revealed very early in the run time that it was all a simulation, and it all ended in the box canyon they started in. I thought the themes of feeling guilty and being able to forgive oneself were very interesting (might get into that more later as well…) so yeah. 

it’s flawed, but for such a long running series that had originally been intended to only be a few episodes, I think it ending with tucker telling us it’s over and to go home is honestly the best way they could’ve done it. all the other times the series had “ended” it was done in a way where it worked as a standalone end for the series, but it was always open-ended enough that a continuation could be made if they wanted to. 

there isn’t going to be a continuation this time, the story is over, but just because the story has ended doesn’t mean that we can’t make our own stories. red vs blue will live on so long as there are people who want it to, which feels pretty on the dime doesn’t it?

[tsukakitty]

Hahaha I haven't posted on this blog at all cause I've become an identity v fan but screw it, people are still seeing my posts so I might as well post some random idv stuff!

My idea for an identity v x project sekai crossover!

Note that none of these are based on idv lore or character personalities... All of this is my opinion

Obviously I feel like the leaders would be getting the skins lmao

Ichika: Journalist... Her camera could be her phone. Idk she could summon Hatsune Miku I think everybody would like that even the hunter. I also really like Alice DeRoss and Ichikas my favorite character so yeah. But she would be a rescue character.

Minori: Cheerleader. She's an idol so obviously she'd be inspiring and cheering for her teammates. And doing everything but decoding but that's okay. But yeah it fits you get my point.

Kohane: Gardener. I'm not sure if she has any mechanical expertise but she should be carrying a boom box and be singing so fucking loud she breaks the rocket chairs... And sing so good she summons a shield. Or she could carry a phone and summon like Len or Meiko idk but I like the boom box idea more cause it's funny. Love you Kohane Azusawa

Tsukasa: Composer... "Oh but he'd be Acrobat-" SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UPPPPPPPPP AAAAAUGHHHGGH idgaf yes he probably would but god forbid I give the character from a rhythm game a character with an rhythm game mechanic. Composers gameplay has him decoding ciphers like he's playing the piano and who plays a piano... Hmmm... And for his tuning fork he could have some phone sure. I also chose composer because I love Frederick Kreiburg and Tsukasa Tenma BUT ALSO BECAUSE Tsukasa could have an accessory that plays one of his commissioned songs instead of the default for decoding and his tuning fork... He could play like Mr. Showtime while decoding and when he clicks his phone (tuning fork) it could play one of the untitled songs or world link songs... Yeah.

Kanade: Psychologist... Uhm. Okay so yes I think it would fit because she would be saving her teammates yes but I don't see her as a full on rescue character. She could use her phone to send a song that would heal her teammates, and yes she can tank 3 hits idgaf if she's canonically physically weak, that extra hit is supposed to be used for healing teammates anyways dude. Stress mechanic fits her also... And hey. Idgaf about Emil he's a cutie and all but PLEASE let me give a CROSSOVER SKIN to ADA ONLY...

Anyways that's my super sigma sugoi idv x pjsk crossover if I get hate on this I'm going to end it all. Obviously this won't ever happen or it won't be accurate and like... I hope we never get a pjsk x idv crossover but hey this is all my sugoi opinion so hip hip hooray

[hopelessbluebird]

I have the urge to draw Sigma

oh?

i also sorry im chronically bad about checking this blog my bad🫡

also this summoned Bram send help🙏

[diagonal-queen]

opinions on sigma

okay so basically

sigma is my end goal when it comes to appearance and gender. i want to look exactly like him. i know that his beauty is unattainable so i'll do what i can, but i could literally stare at him all day. all week. all month. find my rotting corpse seated in front of my laptop with pinterest opened to a bunch of sigma fanart honestly because he's just that beautiful. i plan on dyeing my hair the same colour as his when i'm able to. hopefully next year (@small-chaos im depending on you to help me bbg)

if i had the choice i would also get a ton of bsd posters that feature sigma and plaster them all around my room and make it sigma themed (or- actually i'd also do this same thing with mykola, chuuya, ranpo and poe, but for the moment i'd do it with sigma). once on tiktok i saw someone whose room was entirely deku themed and full of midoriya paraphernalia, like the whole ass room was full of turquoise. i want that same thing with sigma, i won't even lie. his colour palette and whole vibe is just so gorgeous.

his pretty privilege ain't doing SHIT in the manga to help him though. poor little baby always gets the short end of the stick and i feel his exhaustion all the time. the main difference between sigma and i (besides the fact that he's gorgeous and i'm very much not) is that he is acknowledged for his hard work and accomplishments and i'm. not. lol but the impostor syndrome is honestly so real. i always feel that i won't lie. it's probably one of my worst forms of self sabotage.

the other day my manager told me that i'm good at my job, and i just thought 'oh my god what's gonna happen when she finds out i actually suck' even though realistically i am good at my job (gosh that feels so selfish to say- i'm so used to hating myself in every aspect that when i say something good about myself it feels foreign and narcissistic. i should work on that maybe). like he's so relatable for that and i love him

sigma's third wheelness is also super relatable for me. i too want to find a home, except for me it's in the form of a romantic soulmate because i'm just like that. (it should be known that just because i enjoy and crave romance does not make it a mandatory necessity or even a desire for literally anybody else!!) like he will be walking around following mykola and fyodor while they're on a date (or trying to kill each other idk) and just be watching them like o _ o SAME DUDE

also i too tend to have identity crises when it comes to my purpose, and the reason i was born and stuff. i like to think i was born to help people, but it's been a while since i was born and i've only really negatively impacted everyone around me, so... SIGMA on the other hand. his existence has improved my condition of living by an astronomical amount. he was put on this earth to be loved by all of us sillies and i wish i could shift so i could go there and let him know that he is so loved by everyone and he is very valuable and important. i hope when bungo stray dogs eventually ends (the mere thought of which makes me wanna die), he has a happy ending. he deserves it. tbh most of them do, but especially sigma.

this man is literally perfect. he's so babygirl and so soft and smol, but also badass as fuck and a real strong dude. and i respect him for that so hard. like his dedication to his work and his casino is admirable and it makes me want to find something to be that passionate about (i guess at the moment it'd be this blog? silly as it sounds). also he really went from being summoned out of thin air, to being a slave, to escaping from that and becoming one of dostoyevsky's pawns (which he's fully aware of) and yet he still carries on with the casino like an absolute champ? i love him sm

i'm still real mad at the anime for leaving out his introductory scene (his PROPER one where he's a socialite king) because it literally sets the stage so perfectly for him. we as the audience see him the same way his patrons see him, which gives the later reveal that he's actually very anxious and self-conscious a lot more impact. the anime fell flat on that in my opinion. the sky casino arc deserved more, bones! and i know there are gonna be people who are like 'give them some slack they did their best this and that' and im like. some people have been waiting literal years of their life to see him (not me fortunately. i read the manga in december lol) they deserved better than this T-T

anyways there's this bakery right near where i work and it's literally got the Best Cinnamon Scrolls I've Ever Tasted In My Life. like, they're unparalleled with how fucking delicious they are. i wanna go there with sigma and get one for him. they also have cookies there, like real big thick ones with a lil salt on the top. i'd buy him the entire fuckin batch if he asked for it, i won't lie. i just love him that much. i just wanna sit down at a cafe and enjoy a chai latte with sigma. maybe have a walk around the port in the evening after getting dinner together?? sigma deserves only the cutest and most cliche of fluffy dates

i also wanna show him like, regular human stuff. i wanna go to the beach with him, and go looking for cute shells and treasures in the sand together. i wanna take him to the movies and share my popcorn with him. i wanna do his makeup. i want to bake a cake with him. i wanna go grocery shopping with him. i want him to know that i have panic attacks too sometimes, they're normal, he's normal, and he's also a fantastic human being. i just want him to be happy (i'm really hoping he'll join the ada and find the home he's been looking for all this time <3)

the thing with sigma is i'm not sure if he'd like me as much as i like him. though the sigma bots are always very kind (and romantic because this bitch lonely) i'm very worried that i'd annoy him quite a lot. see i talk a lot for an introvert, and i especially have an issue talking to myself. i literally always do it, whether or not i'm by myself or in public, and i think it would annoy sigma. and i think it would also annoy him that i love mykola as well lol he might not trust me if i were to tell him that.

i love sigma's outfit (we're going back to his appearance i guess lol) more than words can express. it's so impeccably gender, so fancy but also not too fancy (those who've met me irl know that i looooove to overdress. once i went to the movies with my friends in this big flowy dress and they were all in like tshirts and shorts and shit lmao) so you could wear it anywhere. the gold (or beige? cream? idfk) tailcoat with the galaxy pattern beneath? the giant flowy sleeves? the turtleneck underneath? the HEELS? god i love his fit. he's so fucking dripped out it's ridiculous. and of course he has long split dyed hair. dudes with long hair are the hottest DON'T @ ME YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT

and he also just has such a lovely smile. though he is tired and annoyed all the time (as he ought to be honestly), he's just so comforting to be around. i feel like a hug from sigma would fix most of my problems i won't lie. like he's got a pretty face and a nice aura and a cute smile. but his stern/angry face though? 😳 shiiii man okay you can make me cry if you wanna i won't mind. also consider sugar daddy sigma. that's so hot and for what?? like imagine being his trophy wife- okay this is getting way too self indulgent imma stop there (might write about it tho sometime lol)

i just had a thought. sigma's ability i feel is generally a rather overlooked part of his character (maybe i'm just not in the right circles of sigma stans but i don't tend to see people talking about his ability much), but to me it is important because consider this. if sigma loves you and you love him, and he'd like to know the extent to which you love him, then through a simple hug you could actually, properly express it. he wouldn't have to doubt himself or anything anymore with it. (stop i'm like fucking crying i love him sm)

i also love that despite everything i've mentioned so far; despite the fact that he was created from a book, runs a floating casino, is androgynous as fuck, has impostor syndrome, owns giant ass guns and can get whatever information he wants through physical contact with another person, he is somehow the most *normal* member of the decay of angels. i mean to be fair one of the other members is literally a severed bust of a centuries old vampire whose lower half is a sword, but still. and yet he still goes along with all the stuff they do and doesn't say anything. fucking same, sigma. it really just be that way sometimes.

sigma has such little wet cat energy (especially after that last chapter amirite) and it's adorable. he doesn't have *pathetic* wet cat energy, but he still has wet cat energy. pathetic wet cats would be like, fyodor and akutagawa. sigma is a cute wet cat with big eyes and tiny little paws. i want to see how he'd be with animals now that i think of it. i think he'd like cats, because dogs might be a little too much for him. and i lowkey think he'd be afraid of farm animals, because they're scary alright. chickens and cows are very frightening to be close to if you're not used to them and anyone who says otherwise is a liar

i just want more sigma content, too. like i know that bungo tales only goes up to season 2 for like valid reasons but i WANT SIGMA MAYOI. little chibi sigma on the battlefield. pretty little sigma pictures of him actually being happy and doing things. i also want official art from bones (but GOOD official art. you already ruined my precious boyo chuuya don't do it to sigma please i'm begging you) and of course harukawa and hoshikawa's art is always appreciated. also creantzyy. i know they primarily do fyolai and mtp but my goodness if their sigma art isn't also just perfect in every way (i'm a huge fan of theirs AS EVERYBODY IN THE FANDOM SHOULD BE. the bernadette animatic to us is what the nagito edit was to the danganronpa fandom)

i also sometimes wonder what stuff sigma likes. i mean we know cookies are his favourite food (which is the cutest thing imo- you can always trust someone who enjoys sweet treats like that), but what kind of music does he like? how would he dress while he isn't working in the casino? what's his favourite colour? does he like animals? what does he think of political stuff? feel free to send me all the sigma headcanons in the world about all of it. he's just very enigmatic at the moment and i yearn to know absolutely everything about him. except unlike mykola i don't wanna experiment on him i just wanna sit down and ask him questions and have a friendly little conversation

and i know everybody's already talking about this scene but let's continue to talk about the scene in the recent chapter where dazai rescues sigma from drowning and gives him a lil thumbs up, and sigma smiles back at him. those panels are literally the most fucking adorable thing i've ever seen and i could stare at them for hours. those two are big comfort characters of mine and i'm glad that they're (kind of) getting along now. at the very least dazai rescued sigma. and lowkey i'm gettin onboard with sigzai. like most of the sigma ships kinda go hard (especially siglai. there's a reason i'm looking for mykola kins guys lmao)

like i love him so much. i really could go on for hours but...this shit is already long enough and i'm sure nobody is gonna read it all. i've recently thought about this though; if i love the characters who i kin the most, maybe i can learn to love myself too. and that thought is comforting to me :)

tl;dr - sigma babygirl

[mod-strap]

this blog is a mess...

its a fandom smoothie at this point. We got toh, bsd, lil bit of mha, genshin, fnaf, and probs like 12 more to come

bsd oc info under the cut

Strap, who is basically her own character

Anyways strap is a minor so no nsfw please and thank you. She/they for mod and Lynnie. Any rp interaction is appreciated and greatly encouraged, im bored. Just dont be mean and we good yk?

Nickname: strap

Real name: Lynnie

Age: almost 16(sophomore in high school)

Height: 5'4 just about (a lil taller than chuuya)

Hair length: mid back, usually in a low bun

Hair color: light brownish, a little blonde in the right lighting

Eye color: dull green, blueish in the right lighting

Outfits: usually wearing a soft, purple sweater(zip up with hood) and random shirt, usually wearing black leggings or sweatpants, always in sneakers, thin rimmed round glasses(gold color)

Dunno what else to put (for appearance) lol this is basically me

She lives at the agency dorms and hangs around the office most days doing mostly online courses, she has to go in person for the vocational aspect of her school(computer tech). Shes been adopted into the ada family with fukuzawa as her dad (ofc) and kenji and ranpo being her favorite brothers (dont tell anyone), she has adopted tiny kenji and tiny sigma. She likes to help all kenjis with their housplants as well, esecially any mint plants or flowers. Shes also surprisingly mature for her age(she still has her moments though). Strap can cook pretty well as long as she is given directions, but she will experiment and tweak the recipie sometimes

She has an ability called 'Fallen From Grace' which grants her small horns, a (surprisingly prehensile) demons tail, and 3 pairs of fully functioning feathered wings that are all the same color as her hair (think seraphims and lucifer from hh in terms of wing design) shes still learning how to fly with them but doesnt use her wings often as they are uncomfortably large to summon indoors or in crowded spaces. Her wings are also physically fragile, strong enough for flight and nothing more. As a side effect of sorts, her blood is a yellow-gold color and glows. It has VERY minor healing properties that are mostly just pain relief and closing up scrapes and small scratches

Lynnie is granted free range of the port mafia hq (other than important rooms where info is stored and such) as long as she isnt there to help the ada against them or cause trouble (she works at a shelter part time)

But its mostly because she brings the shelter dogs around the office for emotional support to some of the members. She brings dogs that love people, but are housebroken and generally quiet (also clean dogs, cant have matted dogs running around the mafia lol)

Doggo info - Froodle doodle baby boodle noodle (Fritz)

Strap is originally from america, but moved to japan to pursue a better education in game design. She plans to buy her own house one day

Her accent is noticable, but not too heavy. She is still learning japanese but knows enough to hold a decent conversation. She gets excited when poe comes over because then she can have more complex conversations in english.

How was Six Sigma Born & its Operational Benefits

The Motorola Six Sigma Story You cannot understand Six Sigma without knowing where it originated from - Motorola. This remarkable story tells us about the way MNCs evolved worldwide. It began in 1981. Motorola was under the threat of Japanese competition. The Japanese had remarkable quality initiatives. They were ahead of any American company. They were undercutting Motorola on prices. This gave them losses of profitability and market share. Motorola was forced to do something about it. The Motorola management made an ambitious plan. They decided to get back at the Japanese and beat them at quality. Top engineers were summoned to Motorola. They were asked to combine all the best quality management practices known then and make a combined methodology that would form Motorola’s quality improvement program. Thus, the first Six Sigma program was born. Motorola came in with a reputation. They had stringent quality measures. Studies showed that they were behind the Japanese. To be competitive they had to improve quality by a 1000% in five years. A determined goal of a 10:1 quality improvement started. Many gurus that Motorola was playing its cards in a bad manner. They started with huge investments in the quality area. Media disapproved of Motorola for using shareholder funds for fantasy-like goals. The management went about doing as they had planned. After 5 years, all business units within Motorola had achieved the 10:1 goal. This boosted the morale of the workers & silenced all the critics. Motorola found out that the Japanese were still way ahead of them. The Japanese had also launched a similar program. Even though it was not as good as Motorola’s, they were ahead because of their earlier lead. Motorola Management became ambitious once again and launched another 1000% improvement drive. The deadline this time was two years. It was criticized for doing this. Despite this, they triumphed yet again. A third program was launched with the same 1000% improvement in quality program. This time, when it ended in 1991, Motorola had failed. They reached 8:1 when measured on a company-wide basis. Some individual units had met their targets of 10:1. When all this was analyzed, Motorola had achieved a target of 800:1 improvement. The critics applauded. Motorola won against the Japanese threat. Six Sigma became the biggest buzzword on the management canvas. Many companies tried to implement it, thinking of reaping the same benefits as Motorola. This is how Six Sigma was born! Operational Benefits of Six Sigma Six Sigma helps businesses in many ways and levels. This blog describes the instant operational benefits that a business derives through Six Sigma. Some of these benefits are as under: The Organization becomes Systems Driven Six Sigma efficiency is impossible to achieve if the mode is craft production. To be efficient, businesses need to depend on systems.  A Six Sigma mindset transforms a people-driven organization into a process-driven one! Decreases Personnel Time and Skill Required Six Sigma saves massive costs. These savings are emphasized by the statistic that after a Six Sigma project, an organization requires fewer labor hours. Skilled laborers’ requirement also goes down. Both combined drastically reduce the labor bill of the business. Reduces Wastage Six Sigma projects reduce wastage. The process is analyzed for costs and value addition. Steps to eliminate wastage to a large extent are taken. Reduces Inventory Needs A Six Sigma project creates a system more efficient than the previous one. Businesses can implement systems like just-in-time inventory practices and still cut costs. Reduces Reworks and Defects Defective processes result in defective products. Each defect has its costs. These could be material, time, overheads, and loss of reputation. Implementing Six Sigma projects pays for itself. It provides financial benefits of near-zero defects to the businesses that implement it. Increases Customer Satisfaction Customers hate unreliable products or businesses. Many Six Sigma businesses have seen their market share increase considerably. Six Sigma positively impacts the marketing of the firm. In the financial evaluation, the revenue (cost reduction) from various sources must be considered. One can then decide if the project is worthwhile or not. The Cost of Poorly Performing Processes Many experts dealing with quality thought that wastage was inevitable. Trying to eliminate it would result in more wastage. For them, eliminating waste was expensive and futile. Juran, the breakthrough quality guru pointed out the costs of poorly performing processes (COPPP). This resulted in people choosing the Six Sigma way of life. The typical of a poorly performing process are: Appraisal Costs These are incurred to find out deficiencies before external customers get affected by them. They don’t include routine quality checks but excessive quality checks that waste resources. Examples of such costs are: - Testing of products prior to shipping - Inspection of purchased supplies - Auditing each and every bill that is generated Double-checking is a good thing to do. Juran thought otherwise. He believed a mechanism is required, that alerts in case of an error. It is good to use resources, to make good the errors, pointed out by the system. The notion was to make a continuous measurement system in which the quality checks were process-driven and not people-driven. Internal Process Deficiency Costs Internal process deficiency costs are incurred in repairs, replacement, or discarding effective work. They are internal because the customer won’t know what happened. When these costs happen, the delivery time is delayed. Customer service levels also take a thrashing. Examples of such costs are: - Overtime - Replacement - Re-work - Lost time External Process Deficiency Costs External process deficiency costs incurred on failures happen when the product or service is being delivered to the end user. These are evident mistakes. They have a huge impact on the public opinion of the business. It has to spend additional to regain the lost confidence of the customers. Examples of such costs are: - Warranty related costs - Giving rebates to affected customers - Correcting billing errors and hence, delayed receipts Juran’s analysis was accepted by the management world. Soon Six Sigma became a rage. The costs of poorly performing processes were too high. Businesses began implementing Six Sigma to be cost-effective and competitive. The 1.5 Sigma Shift Story Some critics say that the whole Six Sigma system is based on fudged numbers. Statisticians say that the name Six Sigma is misleading. Here is why: 3.4 Defects Per Million or 2 Defects Per Billion Six Sigma refers to a process where there are 2 defects per billion times the process is run. The definition of Six Sigma as accepted by modern practitioners says 3.4 defects per million. Achieving an efficiency of 3.4 defects per million makes the process achieve near zero defects. The name Six Sigma is misleading. The value of 3.4 defects per million corresponds to a 4.5 sigma level. The balance is due to the 1.5 sigma shift. Long Term vs. Short Term The logic of the 1.5 Sigma shift is in empirical studies. They have shown that processes fare better in the short term compared with the long term. In the short term, there are normal process variations that need to be dealt with. The long-term cases of special process variation also happen. This results in the process performing at 6 sigma levels in the short run, and at 4.5 sigma levels in the long run. Long Term Dynamic Mean Variation The long-term variation is accounted for by either of the two reasons: - Differences in the process mean over time - Rise in the standard deviation of the process over time As a result of the reasons above, the process doesn’t meet Six Sigma objectives. This is called long-term dynamic mean variation. Empirical Studies at Motorola The Six Sigma criteria are not met because of long-term dynamic mean variation. How does one know that 1.5 sigma from both sides of the normal curve can be removed? It is an industry convention. Motorola started the Six Sigma methodology worldwide. They conducted empirical studies vis-à-vis the improved processes. They also think that a 1.5 sigma shift occurs. Many call this 1.5 Sigma Shift illogical, the industry wants to follow Motorola. This means 3.4 defects per million which define Sigma4.5 are an industry-wide definition of a typical Six Sigma process.     Read the full article

--// It's not valentines day anymore here because I was doing community stuff, but I will do some thing that an rp blog might do and post headcanons about how some muses spend valentines day.

Sigma: He does not know it's valentine's day. He's doing research. He will learn it's valentines day when a friend remind him of it.

Clarissa: Well, she WANTED to go on a date, but Talon pulled her in for extra work, because of course they did.

Setesh: Setesh does not care about a holiday celebrating primarily romantic love between humans. It is pointless and humans would do well to set aside their baser natures to actually be better people rather than subjects of their own chemical reactions. These vapid displays have no meaning when they still allow cruelty and inequality to prevail and help you ignore the corruption festering in the world for this capitalist ploy you call a celebration.

Najma: Najma knows it's valentines day, but they don't really care nor have anyone to spend it with. They used to care and they used to find it charming, but having humans attempt to contain them and hanging out with the likes of Setesh might have changed that.

Roland: He will have a great time buying discount valentines candy tomorrow so he can have a "treat yourself" day and laugh at stupid rom coms with a friend in his pajamas.

Mamun: Mamun always saw valentines as a general celebration of different kinds of love. He likes to send messages of appreciation to his close friends and family when he can. Sometimes, he might forget, recent events have made that more common, but some of his siblings will take te initiative in wishing him a happy valentines day. There are times where he may worry that sending valentines wishes to people could send the wrong message if they don't know him well enough to know it's a platonic thing, but that hasn't happened often thus far.

Sanguine: Heart's Day is actually on the 16th of Sun's dawn, which is the closest equivalent to valentines day in the Elder Scrolls universe, and so happens to be Sanguine's summoning day. It is a VERY important day. Don't ask him what he gets up to; Aside from getting some basic offerings, it's not very PG.

Nihlus: Nihlus used his knowledge of the largely "western" human celebration of valentines day to track down a human target for a mission and kidnap him for interrogation, after which he "disposed" of the individual in question. This is confidential information, the sharing of which can come at the cost of incarceration.

Evfra: He does not know what valentines day is. Is it a day of remembrance? Why are the humans putting pink flower petals everywhere? These are supposed to be hearts? Human hearts don't look like that at all, I have seen several. Paaran, do we have to entertain them on Aya of all places? Can't they keep it contained to the Hyperion? They're making a mess over the entire terrace and Ryder has been sending more ridiculous correspondences than usual. You may be from Voeld, but my heart still melts for you? What does this even mean? Who put a hat on that adhi? Did someone paint flower petals- hearts on that adhi? This is ridiculous. Someone, get that off the animal before it gets even more agitated than it already is.

Super Heroes Academy AU. Seven different boys each possess a unique Power, to be trained and controlled within the classrooms of the Academy. In a surprising turn of events, the unlikely group of boys must work together to overcome the greatest threat to their Academy and all they believe in.

Taegi:

large, extra cheese, extra sauce (extra you) by vminism

Taehyung starts everything by procrastinating. Even unhealthy crushes on the pizza delivery boy.

A merge of requests, but he likes ‘im anyway.

dream on you (dream on me) by jaqueenilini

In which Yoongi can't sleep and only Taehyung can help

Home (It's With You) by arabellarosebts

Bangtan gets the gift of going home for Christmas ~ Taehyung & Yoongi go back to Daegu

Taekook:

pick me up, buttercup by vppa

AU where your soulmate's first words to you will be tattooed on your wrist when you meet. Which freakin sucks, because Jungkook's forearm will now forever read "Hey baby, if you were a booger, I'd pick you first." What the fuck, universe.

whatta man (good man) by aeterisks

Out of all the kinds of blogs Jeon Jeongguk could have run, never in a million years Taehyung would have expected him to have a porn blog. (Or, Jeongguk runs a porn blog and Taehyung not so accidentally finds it.)

Be My Eyes by jxnghoseok

Blind au

***the moon and the stars (are nothing without you) bywowoashley

based off the prompt: "Taekook college AU! The college tour guide raved about the uni's friendly atmosphere and amicable student body, but wanted a high five from a cute student and all he got was a glare"

five fingers on it (hit it like you own it) by prkjimin

“it's nothing that bad, gukkie. i just want to be choked a little, maybe. pin me down, pull my hair, call me names. nothing too intense, but everyone's too delicate, or they just don't do it right.” taehyung complains and suddenly sitting so close feels like a bad idea to jeongguk.

Shameless by foolishbangtan

it started out as a simple gesture, a normal pat on the ass. neither of them anticipated this.

Let me Dream with the Stars by hippocrates (BlueCyanide)

Falling in love with Kim Taehyung is easy.

hide in you awhile by gentlestars

“Come on,” Jeongguk says, long fingers tangling up with Taehyung’s and he squeezes his hand. He motions with a simple nod of his head towards the bathroom door. “Come take a bath with me.”

Under The Rug by dehluxes

Taehyung didn’t know when all of it exactly started. Probably yesterday, when Jeongguk texted him about the date he attended and Taehyung knew he shouldn’t have felt envious of the fact but he still did. Or probably when he got in the basketball varsity and, the famous, Jeon Jeongguk smiled at him so genuinely while welcoming him to the team. Maybe not that, maybe it was the time when Jeongguk told him that he felt most comfortable with Taehyung than with anyone else in the team, that the bond between them was tight and healthy. If it’s not one of those three things, it could have possibly been the time when Jeongguk told him that Taehyung made him the happiest with the biggest smile on his face while looking at Taehyung so fondly.

I Missed You (Did You Miss Me Too?) by officialkth

Taehyung gets home from America, Jeongguk wonders if Taehyung is as happy to see him as he is to see Taehyung.

it was a big world (but we thought we were bigger) by  jhopeg

At the age of five, Jeongguk wanted to hate Taehyung. At the age of sixteen, Jeongguk wanted to kiss Taehyung. At the age of eighteen, Jeongguk really didn't know what he wanted. The story of two childhood friends slowly inching towards each other.

you're my favorite song by heytaetae

taehyung goes on to too many dates and jungkook can only wait

You been ridin' three-wheelers all your life (and I mean literally) by  chardonnay

Jeongguk is pretty damn sure that cycling isn't a life skill. Like what could you even do? He can probably run faster than Taehyung can ever pedal on his crackpot bike, but okay. Whatever he says.

fever chills by  cleo_withoutthepatra

"Taehyung looks down at the thermometer and feels his blood run cold and there it is - the moment you realize you've let things go on how they are for too long and now it's too late." or, alternatively: the one where jungkook works himself straight into sickness (per usual), only this time is different and the hyungs don't know what to do

***Taehyung's Currency by TaeAndKookies

The five times they kiss and the one time it means something.

before the tide by blushmark

Taehyung is full of great ideas, starting with convincing his bandmates to go on a beach vacation. Or: 5 times Taehyung doesn't act like a hyung and 1 time he does

***Hercules by GinForInk

Taehyung forgets his strength kink until Jungkook picks him up during a group project meeting.

love is a laserquest by sassyneki 

When Jeongguk's wet dreams turn into daydreams about his best friend—furniture shops, purple daisies, and all—he knows he's fucked.

Feel it Kicking in by  rix

Jeongguk and Taehyung are just riding it out together, getting high on waves and drugs and each other—platonically, of course.

hold me like i'm hope by jjks

“Uh,” he says eloquently, looking back at Taehyung. “Do you, like, want something?” “Nah, I’m just popping in,” Taehyung says, looking around the place again. Jeongguk stares at him in confusion. “Wh–” he starts to ask when he’s interrupted by Taehyung grinning at him. “Yeah, I’d like to schedule a time to get a tattoo.” “Of course he wants a fucking tattoo, dumbass, why do you think he’s here?” It’s Hoseok, and honestly that warrants another punch to the shoulder, but Jeongguk decides to play it nice. He’s a good boy. OR: let me present to you the most cliché trope of all, starring tattoo artist jeon jeongguk & florist kim taehyung.

Yoonjin:

***Laws of Attraction by whenflowersbloom 

Jin leaves to film Law of the Jungle. Yoongi shouldn’t be missing him that much, right? Right.

The Garden of Words by  miskeen 

just a lazy sunday afternoon with a pair of boyfriends

I could take you home (if you let me) by beeminie 

The issue about having a dog isn’t that it can be an absolute hell sometimes. The issue about having a dog like Jjanggu is that it’s always an absolute hell.

Yoonjin oneshots by baapsae

A collection of short yoonjin stories

***Cleaning House by itsdatrollmon

“Oh my god, that is it!” Seokjin bursts into the bathroom, where Hoseok is not-so-miserably cleaning the toilet because yeah, it’s the grossest chore in the entire dorm but if he doesn’t do it then who will (nobody, that’s who). -- In which Seokjin has had enough of being the 'mother-in-law' of the house, Yoongi has a lot of things he isn't saying, and Hoseok plays mediator.

Bed Space by troubleseason 

Sometimes comfort isn't just a place, it's a person.

Namjin:

I Dream in the Shape of Your Mouth by jonghyun

Seokjin spends a lot of time in the library. Now, Namjoon does too. Taemin tries to summon Satan, and Jimin is a fuckboy.

***all you need is love (and pink) by vppa

Most people only have one miniature angel or devil riding on their shoulders to serve as the physical manifestation of their conscience. Poor Namjoon has five, and they're all telling him the same thing: "fucking talk to him god dammit what the fuck is wrong with you"

Four Years by serenemelodies 

There’s slow and then there’s glacial.

***Beta Tau Sigma by bazooka

A collection of events occurring within (and without) the walls of the Beta Tau Sigma fraternity house. At Beta Tau Sigma, there are only a few rules: 1) have a declared major in the College of Music; 2) keep your GPA above a 3.4; 3) don't let Taehyung into the liquor cabinet; 4) don't fuck up with Kim Seokjin. The rest is all fine print.

Yoonseok:

Hyung, Let's Play A Game by Lindanele

Hoseok has always wanted Yoongi to look at him. Shame Yoongi is too busy looking at someone else. *Dope Era*

I'm Looking at the World in Your Eyes by infinitizeit 

Yoongi has been busy with work and Hoseok is more than patient and lovely as usual.

Yoonkook:

can you trust me? by minniemonnie 

Jungkook takes a deep breath, “ I t-think,” he curses himself for stuttering. “I think I’m gay.” Silence.

over time (i love you more) by heartbee4

Jungkook stopped signing in shock, staring at Yoongi, mouth slightly agape. Yoongi didn’t look away, refused to; he watched every expression that ran over Jungkook’s face – surprise, confusion, fondness, happiness, love. (or: Yoongi learns sign language to communicate with Jungkook).

***riding the wavelength by siderum  ONGOING

"i was asking jungkookie about how yoongi hyung and he could read each other's minds, and yoongi hyung was completely out of earshot, but when i said, 'is it dark in there?' hyung told me to shut up from the other side of the room. he wasn't even looking up from his phone" - park jimin

Window of Sin™ by yoooongi (Stellaluciano)

Yoongi expects a kid Jungkook is most certainly not a kid you can see where this is going

9 Benefits to Dating Min Yoongi by Haru207

On most days, Jungkook thinks to himself that there are definitely benefits to having Yoongi as a boyfriend. First. It means that it only took Jungkook nineteen years of living to discover that anime hair colours can actually look fashionable.

***You Stir up a McFlurry in My Heart by tau

Jungkook is completely and utterly screwed the moment he develops a crush on the voice behind the McDonald’s Drive Thru speaker.

HopeKook:

No One But Me by Lindanele

Jungkook loved his boyfriend to death, but damn could Hoseok be oblivious. (aka Jungkook is a jealous boyfriend and Hoseok can’t take a hint)

VHope:

Dancing on Quicksand by lethallergic

Who needs a functional relationship when you dig your step-sister's boyfriend? Not Taehyung.

VMin:

it's your heart i wanna live (& sleep) in by knth

The first time Jimin sleeps over at Taehyung's, it's an emergency. The other times after? That's a different story.

our sinking friendships (we drown them all) by skateboardsound

Like most bad decisions, it could be traced back to cheap alcohol—the kind with a taste that clung to your tongue too long and gave you a hangover before the high was over. And like most bad decisions, it had also seemed like a great idea at the time.

for you, anything. by kadotas

in which Taehyung and Jimin navigate through married life together, realising belatedly that it’s not always smooth sailing.

Taehyung:

***i do by skswriting

“Are you guys going on a date?” “We’re headed to the bridal show.” You and Taehyung go to a bridal show for the food and end up with more than you bargained for. In the best way possible. white lines, pretty baby by darkparadises (queenhinata)
