Oh? What are your Sealticge headcanons?
@merbis (tagging bc I made it a private post first and don't know if you get the answer notification)
This isn't super well thought out, just mostly a collection of impressions that put her a bit at odds with the church/more traditional forms of worship.
She's the goddess of dancing (obviously). Dancing in Octopath is an art form primarily seen as entertainment and self-expression, which are very worldly things that don't really fit in with the focus the church puts on the gods rather than the people.
Her divine skill is called Sealticge's Seduction. Self-explanatory, I think. Straying from the proper path, leading people astray, things that the church, at least in real life, isn't terribly fond of. Her association with the night adds to the the sense of shadiness.
(Little fun fact, in both games the region where her shrine is located is at the opposite end of the world from the church.)
In short, she strikes me as the type of deity who is best worshipped through using her blessings to enjoy life and be yourself rather than a strict set of religious rules. And Partitio is the kind of guy who does exactly that.

The horse has bolted is an old English idiom, meaning don’t bother closing the stable door once the horse has bolted, meaning the damage has already been done, the horse has already fled
Anon could mean, in terms of Jikook it could simply mean that they have already put themselves out there, with the show and enlistment. Although not obvious to everyone, they made themselves vulnerable and showed more of who or what they are to a large audience, one by their own volition and choice, and the other because they wanted to try to be together during their service, and are. Both mark them as different to other members. If they come back and return to how they were in 2023, appearing aloof and distant, there would be little point, we know they are closer than close, it would be somewhat silly to hide that, hence the horse has bolted.
Thanks for explaining that, i knew the meaning, but I love it in this context because a wild horse is such an evocative image and conveys exactly the intended feeling in this specific context. Something wild and instinctual. Something that cannot be contained, that shouldn't be held.
I agree, Jikook did not make this show only to enjoy themselves. It was a statement, a step in the next direction, a trial run for a pairing that has been unattainable for years now. If you have more than three braincells, you can't have missed these two being extra close. So this was not only for them, it was sending a message. The underscoring of which was them enlisting together. An absolute bonus, + + + extra superbooster for jikook. They are a pairing the even the company can no longer relegate to the background. They can't go back to it being something unnamed..
No, they called it, named it, assisted, and acknowledged these two now. No more ifs or but's about it.
The horse has made it to the beach, is running on the shore, kicking up sand and splashing water...and what a beauty it is
💛💜

Does this mean vestige afo for that au idea?
that au idea - yes, yes it does :) have 5 more
1- Given Vestige AfO isn't exactly willing, this is an AU where Izuku can access any OfA Quirk if he tries hard enough, since the others already agreed to pass it on. That said, to maintain a sense of control, Vestige AfO pretends it was his plan all along in order to divide All Might and his successor from each other. He convinces himself and exactly none of the other vestiges of this, who put more locks on the vault door when he gets too loud on the other side.
2- During the quirk assessment test, Izuku uses Gearshift when trying to not break his bones throwing a ball. It doesn't feel like OfA, but everyone else doesn't notice. He's tense, waiting for anyone else to realize he took theirs on accident, but no one reacts (other than Kacchan). He tells All Might after, half panicked, and they and Nedzu look at everyone in UA, but it doesn't match up with anyone. All Might makes calls, but Tsukauchi hasn't heard anything. Nedzu proposes the idea that if AfO as part of OfA's history has been stockpiled in the quirk, other holders might as well. They only know about Float, but All Might says he'll look further than that and get a list, hoping to see a match with any of the other quirks he sprouts.
3- finally, they do, and Izuku is almost sick when relief when a classmate asks who the new quirk he's borrowing is from, and he can say "oh, a relative of mine- Uncle Banjo calls it Black Whip" instead of trying to avoid answering. At that, Todoroki looks up because he's been sure All Might was letting Izuku borrow his quirk too, but couldn't figure out why he'd trust a random student with it. A relative, though...
4- The Vestiges reach out to Izuku the night after the SF. He dreams of Iida, who's thin and fading like a ghost, panicked for his brother, asking Izuku to help, he'll do anything. Then he's gone, and Uraraka is there, asking where she is before she vanishes too, and leaves him to watch ancient memories of a couple of feral twins arguing politics they didn't understand. After, Yoichi apologizes to Izuku, as none of them expected any of this - then tells him not to listen to the other vestiges, Yoichi is sure that Izuku can use the quirk to help people, like he always wanted his brother to. With that new pressure on, Izuku wakes up and wants to dismiss the entire thing as just a weird dream, until he hears on the morning news that Ingenium was attached, and hears Tenya's panicked echoes.
5- In the months leading up to the Jakku Raid, the vestiges realize that the plan to superboost Tomura is probably also a bodysnatching plot from AfO- and if he could do that to Tomura, then he could do it to Izuku. They do not want three AfO's duking it out, and to be in one of them even less, so they dedicate most of their time to keeping that Vestige down and away from Izuku. The good news is he has more practice with using their quirks, so he shouldn't be too hurt by their lack of attention and advice just then.

super boosteds (for down hill racings)
しばらく前にリリースされていたのに、こちらで紹介するの忘れていました。<(^o^;
前後共SuperBoost規格のダウンヒル(DH)競技用ハブです。(実際にはDHだけでなくエンデューロ競技用でもSuperBoost規格の車体は存在するので、広義の意味で昨今の下り系全般と捉えていただいてもいいかもしれません。)
競技の特性上、車体のあちこちで破損リスクが大きいこともあって、おそらく自転車競技車両の中でもDH競技用のパーツ規格は改良、更新が最も活発に続けられているので、この手のハブが必要な乗り手は「SuperBoostってなに?」…とはあまりならないかもしれないですが、車体の破壊に消極的な…馴染みの薄い「普通のサイクリスト」の皆さまの為に説明をさせていただきます。(^-^;
通常Boostと呼ばれている規格は、前が110x15mm、後ろが148x12mmの貫通する軸を使われるハブの規格を指します。
簡単に紹介すると、SuperBoostとは従来のDH用規格と普通のBoost規格のいいとこ取りみたいな規格です。
前は旧DH規格の110x20mm(100mm幅規格のハブ軸だけに左右5mmづつ加えた規格)とは少し違い、ブレーキのローター台座を5mm外側に出し、左右とも規格幅いっぱいまでフランジ幅を広げてあります。
Tumblr media
BX213Fの各スペックはこんな感じ
Tumblr media
旧DH規格のハブ(A20M)と比べると同じ110mmの軸長にも関わらず、左右合わせると15mmくらいフランジが幅広く取られています。
後ろは旧規格の150x12mmと軸径は同じですが、古い軸長135mmと142mmの関係と同じく、フレーム エンド部分でのキャッチ寸法分、7mmを加えられていて、やはり前同様にフランジ幅をローター台座ギリギリまで拡張した規格です。
但し、後ろは旧規格との後方互換性をとったのか、ハブ シェルとローター台座の位置関係は変更されていません。
その為、後ろに関しては左右で7mm追加されたハブ軸さえ用意できれば、同じ車体で新旧規格の車輪を混在運用して���特に問題無いことになっています。(もちろんハブのメーカー違いでスプロケットやローターの端面に若干のズレが発生する可能性はあります。)
BitexのSuperBoost製品には2種類の後ろ用のハブがあります。
一つ目はBX213R、通常の8~11速スプロケット用のハブで、カセット ドライバーを交換する事によって、"Sram XD"や"Shimano MicroSpline"などの12速にも対応可能です。
Tumblr media
12速でしか得られないような50Tを超えるビッグ スプロケットは本来DH用としては不要ですが、エンデューロ競技用としては大切な要素かもしれません。
Tumblr media
ただ、このBX213R、多分、旧製品のMTR12-150の軸長変更製品である可能性が高く、もし現在MTR12-150を使われているのであれば、157mmの軸交換でSuperBoost対応できるかも…。
二つ目はBX215Rで、こっちは多���イカれています。(^-^;
Tumblr media
カセット ドライバーの幅を狭くして取り付けられるスプロケットの枚数を減らしている(6速~7速)代わりに、左右で近いスポーク ブレーシング角度(左右張力比率87:100くらい)になる様な幅広いハブ シェルを実現しています。
Tumblr media
これ、あとちょっと工夫するだけで左右ほぼ同じブレーシング角度が得られるとか、シングル スピード並みの良好なバランスのデザインです。
実際、前後共かなり幅広のフランジ間隔になっていて、29erのリムでもちゃんとスポーク ブレーシング角度を大きく確保できる様になっています。
これによって得られるのは同じ量(総断面積)のスポークを使っていても、より大きなスポーク ブレーシング角度(29erで8°前後)によって高い横剛性を得られる為、安定したハンドリング特性や、一貫性の高い正確な旋回性能を得られる事になります。
別な表現をするならば、同じ歪み耐性を達成する為に必要なスポークの総断面積やリムの断面積も小さくて良くなり、より軽い部材で車輪を構成できる事になります。
特に昨今の下り系競技全般で主流となっている後輪荷重を重視してスラントしたキャスター角度と長いフロントセンターを備えた、いわゆる後ろ乗り型のフレームでは実際に後輪荷重で高い旋回速度を実現する為に前輪以上に後輪の横剛性と左右バランスの確保が重要になっています。
そういったモダンなフレーム デザインを活かす車輪を作るために必要なハブだと言えます。
現状、後輪の不安定さやイマイチ踏ん張りの効かない物足りなさを感じている乗り手には福音となるのではないでしょうか。
もし思い当たる様でしたら、ぜひ一度ご検討ください。 よろしくお願いいたします。

tumblr deleted my book quote 😭 anyway it's this one, because i woke up with it in my head this morning and it's impossibly sad:
“Henry knew better than to want freedom. The only life worth living was the unfree life, the life Schwartz had taught him, the life in which you were chained to your one true wish, the wish to be simple and perfect. Then the days were sky-blue spaces you moved through with ease. You made sacrifices and the sacrifices made sense. You ate till you were full and then you drank SuperBoost, because every ounce of muscle meant something. You stoked the furnace, fed the machine. No matter how hard you worked, you could never feel harried or hurried, because you were doing what you wanted and so one moment simply produced the next.” Chad Harbach, The Art of Fielding

Celeste Map Reviews #29
5 mostly chill catsnug maps this time! And a bonus! That i forgot about adding the past 2 reviews! But we ball anyway! Let's go!
BONUS! - SUPERNOVA by evie! - The 2nd checkpoint went up for playtesting a while ago now, and after working my way through the trials and tribulations of dead states every 4 microseconds, I can confirm that this map has only gotten BETTER! With even cooler moves, even more new ideas on the table, and even crazier input density, these rooms played like peak, and I could barely muster up any complaints with it (except for that one GLORIOUS cheese lmao) (its probably fixed now :c) . As before, there's all sorts of sling bubble+gravity+retention shenanigans making up this feast. The input density is really fun and satisfying to do, and I still wholeheartedly recommend this (when it's out!) to anyone who can play this difficulty! Quality! Overall, shoutouts to helper updates breaking unintended but cool behaviour! 9.9/10
FIRST! - slipsling by nascence! - I finally bit down on the grapplepill and there's no better way to get used to the mechanic than this advanced/expert map! With coool swap block movement, simple swings and even a custom grapplable bubble in play, it'll get you used to this nifty hook in no time! There's even a challenging berry to go after as well! As if that wasn't enough, the deco and music go really hard too! The dark and gold blocks really work off each other well. So yeah, I enjoyed this one, and it got me started on my own little grapple map; you'll have to wait and see.... Overall, and it's nascence with the map named SS! 9.5/10
SECOND! - some kind of blueberry by aonkeeper4! - for a map with just 2 rooms it has quite the vibe! This map was only done in like 3 hours or so which is quite impressive given the complexity of the rooms, custom music, endscreen and pretty decent deco! The gameplay revolves around dream toggle swap blocks, and move blocks. It's about high expert, though the routing may be the standout aspect here. It can definitely be hard to figure out how to actually do the rooms; there is a good bit of outside the box thinking needed to get through here. But I had fun and the EUREKA moments are always super satisfying! Overall, CL*UDSCAPE??? I'm sorry it's a 1/10 from me! (actually it's a 9.1/10)
THIRD! - Prew's Devious Meadow by fonda1515! - Thanks aon for just kinda mentioning this map while I was around because I have been exposed to peak fonda fiction yet again! Fonda's maps feed me like I'm Bowser in the victory buffet room, it's all such peak. This time, the map in question is focused on fish refills and supporting dream blocks! Having worked with a fishy madeline in my own map I expected good things and I sure got them! Superboosting a fish on dash is just so speedy and satisfying and the moves fonda cooks with them are sublime! All 11 rooms are plenty unique too so it really does make for a super jauntful time! I had a blast playing it all! The deco was also pretty neat! Overall, wait, who's Prew? 10.6 fish/ 10 fish
FOURTH! - Splinterstate by nascence! - Woagh, another nascence banger in the same review? Okay! Created for a bi-monthly mapping prompt event, this map chose to tackle the "cutting corners" theme by literally cutting out a vital part of the mapping process. Y'know when you make gameplay layouts, then you add the hazards n stuff, then you deco it? Well what if you figured enforcing stuff was overrated and skipped right to deco? Splinterastate is the result! A cool intermediate map with dash block lineups, bubbles and even lillies later too! (^w^). The intended routes are good fun, and the deco certainly did NOT suffer it is soooo pretty, but one of the most interesting parts of the experience were the options to skip out on several chunks of many rooms! That's the consequence for not being a spinner merchant after all! It's a cool showcase of a map that gives the freedom to do as it wants, or do what you want, and it's a very fun concept! I mostly stuck to intended myself. Overall, really? another ss name? what's next? Severance Strobe? pfft, surely too predictable. 9.3/10
FIFTH! - Television Tower by Nibblz! - And finally we've got a mildly dense dance of tech, done to the tune of a cool song! Indeed, this somewhat unofficial mtc entry's deco and vibe take after its soundtrack! I like mtc maps, the music choices and their effect on the maps really enhances the experience for me. Parts of the deco also reminded me of SC2020's Tempoeral Tower, which I don't feel is just mere coincidence. As for the gameplay itself, it's input dense, features a lot dream refills and move blocks, and generally has you teching around all over the place. I love gameplay like this always! Flying everywhere speedily never gets old for me, and though a couple parts in some rooms were on the iffy side I very much enjoyed my time! Especially with the last 3 rooms those were awesome! Overall, cool maps start with tele! television tower, teletown, uhhhhh, well 2 for 2 is good! 9.2/10
WOOOOOOOO Watch out for Switching Jungle Swing coming in....some amount of time....DRAGON GLIDAHH

Linkages in Moral Manoeuvering: Rekindling Moral Indignation
"A highly effective means of reinforcing moral crusades involves a strategy of linking present crusades to past campaigns that have enjoyed a great measure of public support. This is. a concept which may be termed moral manoeuvering. Toronto’s most recent, and certainly most effective moral campaign, revolved around the Jacques tragedy. The malefactors in the Jacques case sexually abused, strangled, and later drowned the child. The four accused were involved with quasi-criminal pursuits on the Yonge street “sin strip”; a collection of body rub parlours (housing prostitutes), pornography shops, taverns promoting striptease, and run-down cinemas devoted to sex and violence.
Public sentiment created an atmosphere which allowed not only the closing of “massage parlours”, but also a high-density policing of facilities and street people on the strip. The Jacques crusade focused public attention on immoral behaviours, and particularly their connection with the strip. The “cleaning up” operations engendered widespread support for the police as protectors of public morality, for a stress on ends rather than means, and produced a“superboost” for police morale. The involvement of male offenders in the criminal episode, who engaged in homosexual acts with Jacques (whether they were “gay” or not) cemented a relationship between gay sexual behaviour and murderous acts in the public mind, subsequently reinvoked in coverage of the 1981 baths raids.
Primary media accounts of the raids concentrated upon a portrayal of gays as “sick” and/or “criminal”, engaged in continually expanding the boundaries of gay perversion of propogandizing and proselytizing the young. The Toronto Sun, in a series of reports throughout the coverage of the raids, juxtaposed the case of a minor who had been forcibly confined and indecently assaulted by three men. This provided not only a memory jogger with regard to the Jacques case, but a connection of gay sexuality with criminal actions. The net effect for the reader is to produce an “understanding” of a marginal news event in terms of an existing category, so rendering present behaviour familiar, and allowing the option of “trivialising” it. In this way, the reality which is made of gay sexuality and baths life may be inaccurate or misleading, the “sense” which is made of it senseless, but triviality has been restored, and life may be resumed.
Douglas (1966) and Pearce (1973) demonstrated that “moral tales” ending in natural justice are invariably linked with reports of homosexual behaviour, and one would expect this to be a significant phenomenon in the reporting of baths raids. Following the precedent set by the English tabloids in covering murder cases on the same page as the proceedings of the Wolfenden Committee, the Toronto Sun utilized the case of a metro constable who was tragically killed during a tavern robbery to morally manoeuver against public sympathies towards gays. The implication of relating the two was simply: “Who shall we support, gays who engage in bizarre sexual activities, or the police who die to protect us against unscrupulous criminals?” Pearce (1973) and Jones (1974) have argued that such cross references provoke a strong and significant association, lumping gays, criminals, and murderers in one anomalous heap."
