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.

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.

What I used to wear on dates

This is titled ‘what I used to wear’, because I don’t really tend to go on dates anymore. Of course, Alajos and I still have dates, but it’s a much more relaxed kind of thing, I don’t feel as though I have to pull out every last stop and stand on ceremony anymore, and anyway, he’s blind. Almost none of these tricks would have any kind of positive effect on him whatsoever.

So, this is what I used to wear. I didn’t wear it every single time, and I didn’t reserve it just for dates; this is just my maximalist sort of routine for those moments when you have to look your absolute best. Like, superhuman best. It’s completely fake, but it does what it needs to do.

Underwear

This is where most of the fakery comes in; at least, for me. I have a good body shape naturally, and I work out to make it even better, but I don’t think that it’s possible for any woman to look like a Victoria’s Secret model without devoting themselves literally 24/7 to their body, extreme surgeries, or lots of specialist underwear. I wanted to have the body of a Victoria’s Secret model (3 years later, I think I have gained a slightly more sensible perspective of this goal...), so I invested in the underwear I needed to achieve that.

I’m going to let you in on a secret: if you want high-quality, realistic-looking hip, buttock, or breast enhancers, then you need to be buying high-quality silicone, and shopping from stores intended for drag queens, transvestites, and cross-dressers. No foam pads with weird edges and corners from Amazon or AliExpress! I use SoftLeaves and Hourglass Figure to buy my enhancers, and I always buy the highest quality silicone that I can afford. These sites are going to be more expensive than elsewhere, but it’s worth it; obvious padding is really embarrassing, and you want something that isn’t going to disintegrate after a single wear. Specialist stores like these are discreet, they don’t typically charge with a huge profit margin, and they have a really wide selection of options, with very knowledgeable and friendly customer service. You can buy your enhancers in tiny incremental size options, so that you can achieve exactly the look you want without going overboard.

I used to stack my bras: I wore a high-quality sticky bra (either a drawstring, if I wanted some cleavage, or 2 individual pull-up bras for a perky silhouette under a high-necked top) as a base, and then a traditional push-up bra—I wore the ‘Superboost’ from Gossard, but I’d recommend finding a bra that properly fits and works with your breast shape—with some moderate (80g) silicone enhancers in the bottom. It sounds extreme, and it wasn’t terribly comfortable, but in the context of a whole outfit, it honestly just looked like I’d had an extremely natural-looking boob job. It definitely didn’t look real (to a woman who knows, at least—I don’t think men would be any the wiser!), but it sure looked good.

I had a faja custom-made for me, with a low back and very high compression with steel boning, and cut just right around my chest and arms so that my bra(s!) weren’t impeded at all. I had it come down to my knees—NB: with elastane shapewear, make sure that the hem ends on a joint, either the hip, knee, or the ankle, to prevent rolling—and I had the buttock area made up in a free mesh instead of compression fabric, with extra support beneath, to give my bottom good lift and support. I have slight hip dips naturally, so I wore small silicone hip enhancers beneath my faja to fill in the dips, smooth everything, and give my hips a totally rounded look.

I also wore silicone shoulder pads beneath my faja straps, because otherwise, my shoulders would look narrow and out of balance with my padded hips. I bought these on AliExpress, as I think they’re more popular in East Asia, but I have to admit that they didn’t last out very well, and I bought new ones regularly to replace the old. They were cheap, though.

On top of all this, I’d usually wear a silk petticoat, if I was wearing a dress, for a smooth and flowing line and to prevent my underwear-construction from being seen through my dress. I held all of the straps—of the bra, the faja, and the petticoat—together with vintage lingerie clips. I really recommend these; they’re so handy, and they keep all of your straps together and stop anything from embarrassingly slipping down your shoulder. I bought mine in a charity shop, but you can find them fairly cheaply on eBay and Etsy.

Other enhancements

I also put on a bunch of other enhancements to boost my looks. At this point, I think I’ll probably sound crazy, and you’re welcome to stop reading, but if you’re still interested...

My eyes aren’t droopy, but I have a bit of hooding from my lids which gives the impression of droopy, tired eyes. I fixed that now with Botox, but at the time, I didn’t have any procedures done at all, so instead, I used the eyelid tape patches ‘Lids by Design’ from Contours RX, and actually, it worked pretty well. I had to adjust my makeup style for it, but they were undetectable (once I finally learnt how to apply them correctly) and gave my eyes a much more aesthetically pleasing shape for the evening.

I love my eye colour, and it’s one of my most complimented features. For dates, I used to enhance it even further by wearing the ‘Define Sparkle’ lenses by Acuvue, which really brought out the bright blue colour and, true to name, made my eyes sparkle. These lenses are unfortunately discontinued now, and I ran out of my stockpile about a year ago—and yes, I cried about it! I still haven’t found anything similar which enhances, not masks, natural blue eyes. If anyone has any recommendations, please, please tell me!!! I would still be wearing these lenses every day if I could. If your natural eye colour isn’t blue, then you’re in luck: there are lots of enhancing lenses from Korea and Japan made for darker eye colours. I hear that the brand Olens is particularly good.

I also used to use Lumify drops to whiten my eyes and make them sparkle. I haven’t used these drops since my squint surgery, because I’m now paranoid about putting anything which isn’t sterile saline in my eyes, but they were really effective. Warnings about the dangers of vasodilators etc. etc., and I wouldn’t personally use them again, but if you want something that works and don’t really care about your eye health, then these do the trick.

This is really silly, but I wore a tiny little plastic insert from Nose Secret, designed to lift up my nose tip. The ironic thing is, I don’t have a droopy nose tip in the slightest! I always worry that wearing this made me look like some kind of Miss Piggy lookalike, but photo evidence from those days seems to be safe, so maybe I didn’t. Anyway, it worked pretty well for reducing the visual appearance of the bump on the bridge of my nose—so, to my girls who haven’t yet had a rhinoplasty, or don’t want one, but still hate their nose, this could be for you. Just don’t, like, inhale the plastic or anything. I really don’t want to be held liable for a choking death!

The rest was more standard: I’d wear a halo extension piece with a couple of seamless clip-ins to add length and volume to my hair, my nails would be done in my usual gel style, I wore individual fake eyelashes mapped out to suit my eye shape, and I did my makeup slightly heavier than I usually would, in a sort of ‘soft, candlelit glow’ style.

Outfit and accessories

I wore different outfits for different kinds of dates (obviously), but I did have a sort of basic dress code that I adhered to, depending on activity and occasion. Formal dinner dates called for a body-skimming, but not tight or bandage, dress with sheer stockings and mid-height stilettos. Casual lunches, teas, museum trips, etc. were usually a pretty day dress and flats. More artsy events (and men) got a brightly-coloured silk halterneck and black wool trousers, usually with block heels. Make-or-break, once-in-a-lifetime dates meant that I could pull out my seamed stockings and favourite bombshell wiggle dress. I never wore open-toe shoes on a date. Regardless of the occasion, I always brought a clutch—it tells him a thousand silent words about your expectations! I’d recommend having a small collection of clutch bags for day and evening wear. My jewellery was always minimal, and I didn’t ever wear any obviously branded pieces; usually just a fun pair of earrings that matched my outfit, and maybe a tennis bracelet for the evening.

A final word...

I know that these kinds of temporary enhancements are a lot. I want to stress that I haven’t ever worn this level of fakery on a regular basis. It was, and still is, just for when I know that I want to look as good as I possibly, possibly can. You don’t have to do what I did—you can take what is useful to you, and leave the rest, even if that happens to be leaving all of it, and privately laughing a little at this insane girl who is writing about her beauty routines on the internet. Still, I hope this is helpful to someone!

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。

BX213Fの各スペックはこんな感じ

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���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も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。

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。

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、こっちは多少イカれています。(^-^;

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。

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。

🌿 alliecore 🌿

thanks for the tag, @citrusses! your moodboard looks amazing.

Type your name or blog name followed by "core" into Pinterest and post the first nine pictures with a quote from a book of your choice. Tagging @geesenoises @onemadeofglass @miss-ivyness @chamomileteafuel and truly anyone who might want to do this; it's so fun!

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

[imunbreakabledude]

went and did nex in the maingame for the first time after only having done it in leagues. mentally prepared myself for it to be slower and worse bc people aren't superboosted with relics. ... turns out masses are just as fast in the maingame as they are in leagues lol

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."
