Schatz, schau mal was bei den Nachbarn passiert.

Tja, wenn Töchter nicht auf ihre Eltern hören. Und wir bekommen es mit.

Wie peinlich.

Honey, look what's happening at the neighbors' house.

Well, that's what happens when daughters don't listen to their parents. And we see it.

How embarrassing.

TJA Sequel Exchange Masterpost

What is a sequel exchange, you may ask?

Well, when you have a ship-focused server full of writers and artists, there will be so many people who want more of that one specific fic (or, as it turns out, so many specific fics). And what better way to motivate people to write than an exchange?

Here's what we did (in alphabetical order):

@araydre made this gorgeous art for Skalidra's fic More Chances Than Deserved:

set in chapter 3, Jason and Slade sparring before Billy arrives

@arkhammaid wrote Fangs and Claws (sinking into me) , a new work in the Fangs and Claws series for @bittercape:

Theory says both the Alpha and Omega must consent to entering a mating dance for it to even have a chance in being succesful. Reality proves once again that theory can be fucking bullshit.

@bittercape wrote Midnight at City Hall, a sequel to 4am at Denny's for @safelycapricious:

“What’s wrong?” he asks, because obviously something is wrong for Roy to be calling like this. “Jason,” Roy says, sounding a little faint. “Stay put,” Slade says, and then he calls in the big guns.

@darbydoo22 wrote Happy Birthday Steve, a sequel to Sit By the Fire for astranne:

Dick Grayson introduces the family to his boyfriend, Steve Rogers, during the Wayne family’s annual Fourth of July party.

@katzynia wrote Piece by piece, a sequel to Every piece of you for littledevilbean:

A month after their last encounter, Slade shows up to see how the life has been treating Jason. And to show him a thing or two.

@lisholoz drew Slade in Red Hood's gear as a sequel to Jason in Deathstroke's armour:

Boyfriend hoodie? Pfft. Steal your BFs vigilante gear

@littledevilbean wrote Bad Habits (and how to share them), a sequel to in the office ( 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘬𝘦𝘺) for @notherdeadrobin:

In Slade's defense, it wasn't like he was trying to create a pattern.

@marquisedesaad wrote Turning the Advantage, a new work in the Taken Advantage series for @paprikadotmp4:

Dick and Bruce investigate in the aftermath of Jason's abduction. Meanwhile, Slade turns the situation to his advantage.

@marirah wrote two fics for darbydoo, candlelight and good morning, new works in the of Year of the OTP/Year of Jason and Slade 2023 (combined) series:

Dick and Tim have a date night in

Jason and Slade (and Peter and Damian) start to adjust to their new apartment

@safelycapricious wrote BE TRUE?, a sequel to BE MINE? for GavotteandGigue:

In an event that honestly Jason doesn’t foresee, the next day doesn’t bring him the chance to go out and figure out what the fuck Deathstroke is thinking. Not just because the idiot hadn’t cleaned up the crime scene and Bruce had taken the “BE MINE, RED HOOD?” as a threat instead of a courting gesture. But also because his cramps are persisting. Which is just. Fucking. Perfect.

Life happens, so there are a couple more sequels coming in a later reblog, but in the meantime: read, look, and remember to keep your fancreators fed and watered (commented, reblogged and kudos'd).

AAIC Launch Trailer

This is the 81st and truly final post in the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Countdown: 0 days left until release aka release day!

Today's topic: the Launch Trailer for the Investigations Collection!

Surprise! I know I said the previous countdown post would be the last one but we got another trailer specifically for the release of the collection and I just can't not comment on it!

And what an epic trailer it is! It essentially goes through all the major characters in the story, introduces them and their role and gives a little snippet of what they're like with one line or a little scene. I especially love all the titles the characters are given, they're an absolute goldmine! Since the trailer has also been released in German I'm having a lot of fun comparing them.

First off is of course our favourite protagonist, Miles Edgeworth himself! "Prosecutorial Prodigy" in English, "Wunderkind der Staatsanwaltschaft" (= prodigy of the prosecution) in German; or in his younger years when he was just starting "Rookie Prosecutor" and "Neuling der Staatsanwaltschaft" (= rookie of the prosecution). I really like how they kept the same title scheme for both in German, makes them fit together even better!

Next we have our two most important sidekicks: Gumshoe is "Devoted Precinct Detective" and "Engagierter Inspektor des Reviers" (= dedicated detective of the precinct). "Devoted" sounds a lot stronger here and I definitely like it more even though "engagiert" is just as fitting for Gumshoe as he very much is. Kay is "Self-Proclaimed "Great Thief"" and "Selbsternannte "Meisterdiebin"" (= self-proclaimed master thief). I already talked about how much I like the change to "Meisterdiebin" in German in a previous countdown post and I still love it, it sounds so badass! In her teaser part we also get an even better look at the Haunted House projection that I mentioned in the very same post and again I'm struck by how incredible it looks! The HD chibi of all the characters are so cute!

Then we get the main rivals (turned allies) of Investigations 1 under the title "Globetrotting Agents of the Law" and "Weltreisende Agenten des Rechts" (direct translation) including Shi-Long, Shih-na and Franziska. Shih-na is simply "Lang's Secretary" in both versions while Shi-Long is "Elite Interpol Agent" but I do want to point out the two teaser scenes we get. I really like the translation here, it's very accurate and still sounds wonderfully dynamic in German. I especially like Shi-Long saying "Mistkerl" when referring to the kidnapper, I hope they also keep his "bastard" line towards the end boss in I1! And that "Tja" for "Well" in the 2nd scene, they could've just left it out but it conveys exactly the right amount of unquestionable confidence Shi-Long has in this moment. It's been so long since I played AA in German that I really don't recall how good the German translation was but the more I see of it the more I'm confident that it's going to be great. And one last observation to these two scenes: I love how different all of Shi-Long's subordinates look! In the pixel artstyle they were basically indistinguishable, only some by their uniforms, but they really went to the effort of drawing several different characters for the group scenes for the HD chibi sprites. Look at them, their hair colours are different, one even has glasses and their face structures and facial expressions are different as well! I particularly like the one right in front of the Blue Badger, he's just so happy to be here 😊 Oh I just love everything about this game!

Franziska is "Internationale Staatsanwältin" (= international prosecutor) and in her younger years "Praktisch eine Staatsanwältin" (= practically a prosecutor) in both versions. (that 2nd title 😄) Her line is also translated perfectly!

Next we have the main rivals from Investigations 2 getting the title "Eindringlinge aus dem Komitee" (= Interlopers from the Comittee, also directly translated). For Justine (Verity) we get the confirmation that her "Goddess of the Law" shtick will be kept identical as her title is the same as what the fan translation always used. The German translation also keeps it literal with "Göttin des Gesetzes". Good choices all around!

Sebastian's (Eustace') titles are "Winning Rookie Prosecutor" and "Siegreicher Neuling der Staatsanwaltschaft" (= winning rookie of the prosecution) with the German version again keeping it wonderfully in theme to Miles' titles. Love the connection between the two here! His teaser line is also really interesting. In English he says "Ignorance is sweet, as they say. So I'm sure most things mean sweet nothings to you." We don't have the context for this scene but I guess the joke is that "ignorance is bliss", not sweet, and "sweet nothings" is something you whisper in your lover's ear and doesn't mean what Sebastian thinks it means. That's not an expression in German though so the joke wouldn't work and to make it work the translation changes it a little bit. Translating his German line back to English directly it's "Not everyone can be of superior intellect. And single (as in unmarried) are those mentally poor." It makes no sense because he completely messes up a German proverb. Correct it goes "selig sind die geistig Armen" ("blissful are the mentally poor" meaning stupid people are more blissful/happier, going in the same direction as "ignorance is bliss"). It actually took me a minute to realize what he was trying to say because on top of using the wrong word he also messes up the grammar so that sentence is wrong on so many levels 😄 Such a great way to get that across, I love it!

Last but not least we get "Die aus Edgeworths Vergangenheit" (= Those from Edgeworth's Past) with Gregory "just" being "Miles' father" (I mean, accurate) and Ray (Eddie) being "Ace Defense Attorney" and "Attorney's Assistant" in his younger years and in German "Ass-Verteidiger" (yes, German "Ass" means "ace" in English) and "Anwaltsassistent", both direct translations. I love his teaser scene of eating a piece of paper from his notebook and saying that something here doesn't taste right, that's young Ray in a nutshell 😄

And finally, a similar ending screen as the Allies & Adversaries Trailer had with several scenes floating over the screen at the same time. Still such a great look! Here I just want to focus on one scene, that of Kay saying her poetic line about the Yatagarasu ("Dark skies of evening, when no other bird dares take wing, one alone remains all-seeing!"). Stuff that's supposed to rhyme is particularly difficult to translate but I love what they made of it in German: "Zieht die Dunkelheit herauf, wagt nur EIN Vogel sich hinauf, seine allsehenden Augen auf!" I can't really translate it back into English without losing the rhyme again but it keeps the meaning and has such a nice poetic ring to it. Maybe not the most incredible poem but it's easily on the level of the English version. Oh and we also get a wonderful little rendition of Shi-Long and Shih-na's synchronized taking off of their sunglasses in HD, that's one of the best animations in AA ever! (Fitting to their synchronized finger pointing!)

In conclusion, another wonderful trailer that I can, again, talk about way too much! And now I'm really going off to play the Investigations Collection!

[kingmagnificoofrosas]

Es tut mir leid euch nochmal zu stören eure Majestät..

Aber ich habe etwas vergessen. Ich hab vergessen mein liebes Haustier zu vorzustellen. *deute auf ein kleinen schüchternen löwenbaby* Das ist mein Haustier Simba. Ungefähr noch so klein wie Valentino. Simba ist voll nett. Und schüchternd wie ihr sehen könnt.. er liebt außerdem es zu knuddeln und er liebt es wenn ihn jemand sein Lieblingsessen serviert. Er isst nähmlich Larven…

So ich wollte auch nicht lange stören. Ich wünsche euch ein schönen Abend noch.

@tollpatschige-asha2024

Oh! OH! OH DEAR! A lion cub .... is this really a lion cub I'm seeing?

Oh! OH! MEINE GÜTE! Ein Löwenjunges ... ist das tatsächlich ein Löwenjunges das ich da sehe?

It is, mi amor. Don't freak out. Just hear what she has to say first.

Ja ist es, mi amor. Nicht ausflippen! Hör dir erstmal an, was sie zu sagen hat.

*leans in and mumbles* A lion! Mo chroí! We have venomous snakes, scorpions and spiders, owls and bugs and things and now a LION? My kingdom is turning into a zoo!

Ein Löwe, mein Herz! Wir haben Giftschlangen, Skorpione und Spinnen, Eulen und Käfer und sowas und jetzt ein Löwe?? Mein Königreich wird zu einem Zoo!

*chuckles* Don't be ridiculous. It's just a baby lion.

Sei nicht albern. Es ist doch nur ein Löwenbaby.

It will grow, and then what?

Es wird wachsen. Und dann was?

Listen to it's owner, darling.

Hör einfach der Besitzerin zu, Schatz.

Yes ... *clears throat* Hello, dear ... so ... Simba it is, yes? All baby animals are cute and sweet ... and then they grow. What will you do once that cub is grown? Such an animal needs lots of space and .... lots of food. Even if tamed. A lion isn't a mere housecat.

Ja ... Hallo, meine Liebe ... also ... Simba war es, ja? Alle Babytiere sind am Anfang süß und niedlich ... und dann werden sie groß. Was willst du machen, wenn dieses Junges ausgewachsen ist? So ein Tier brauch sehr viel Platz ... und sehr viel Essen. Ein Löwe ist keine einfache Hauskatze.

King Akim does have tigers doesn't he?

König Akim hat doch Tiger, oder?

*groan* Yes, honey. Exactly. I told you he wanted to give me a monkey last time we saw each other ... he's .... a little ... *clears throat*

Ja, Liebling. Genau das. Ich habe dir doch erzählt, dass er mir das letzte mal, als wir uns sahen, einen Affen geben wollte. Er ist ein bisschen ... *räuspert sich*

Crazy?

Verrückt?

A little bit ... and that was the summer before I ... that thing with the book happened ...

Ein wenig ... und das war der Sommer bevor ich ... diese Sache mit dem Buch passiert ist ...

*caresses his arm* Well, if Akim can keep tigers, she surely can keep a lion. And he eats larvae.

*streichelt seinen Arm* Tja, wenn Akim Tiger halten kann, dann kann sie bestimmt einen Löwen halten. Und er frisst Larven.

Yet he does. Soon he'll need much more than that ... Anyway.

Noch. Bald wird er viel mehr als das brauchen. Wie auch immer ...

*whispers* Do you also think she somehow looks a lot like Asha?

Findest du auch, dass sie Asha irgendwie sehr ähnlich sieht?

*turns to his wife slightly to whisper back* You think that too? Maybe it's her cousin and she never said a thing?

Du denkst das auch? Vielleicht ist das ihre Kusine und sie hat uns nichts gesagt?

We can ask her later. Now ... I really want to pet this baby lion now! *comes down the podium* Hello, cutie! May I pet your lion cub? Yes? Awww you're such a cutie!!! Who's a good lion? Hmm? You are a good lion! Yes you are!!!

Wir können sie später fragen. Jetzt aber ... will ich diesen Babylöwen streicheln! Hallo du Süßer! Darf ich dein Löwenjunges streicheln? Ja? Ooooohh du bist so ein Süßer! Wer ist ein guter Löwe? Du bist ein guter Löwe! Ja das bist du!

*watches his wife fondle the baby lion* ❤️ .... *very much in love sigh*

Wie man AI Bildchen erkennen kann - ein Guide

Ich habe einen langen Artikel über die Probleme und das Potenzial von AI Bildchen verfasst. Darum soll es heute also nicht gehen. TLDR; Bis auf Adobe Firefly (angeblich) arbeiten alle mir bekannten Bildchen AI's mit geklauten Daten. Deshalb sind AI Bilder aus diesen Quellen nur, aber auch wirklich nur für den absolut privaten Gebrauch. Ihr erfreut euch an ihnen, so ganz für euch, verkauft sie nicht, zeigt sie nicht rum? Well OK. Inzwischen ist das Internet voll von AI Bildchen und die Qualität so drastisch gestiegen, dass es manchmal kaum möglich ist zu erkennen, ob etwas AI generiert ist oder nicht. Trotzdem finden sich auch in den krassesten AI Bildchen Schlüsselhinweise - und die älteren AI Bilder sind so offensichtlich zu identifizieren, wenn man es erstmal weiß, sieht man diese Marker sofort.

Dieser Guide soll euch helfen, Stockphotos, die nur AI Bildchen sind auszusortieren und, wenn gewünscht, AI ganz zu vermeiden. Immer mehr Designkolleg*innen von mir fallen auf AI Bilder auf Shutterstock und Co. herein. Großverlage haben AI generierte Artworks auf ihren Covern, dabei zahlen die echten Künstler*innen ja schon viel zu wenig Geld, für deren harte Arbeit. Frechheit ist das. Aber... einige von ihnen wissen auch einfach nicht, dass sie da AI Bilder nutzen. Woher auch?

Für den Laien ist das nämlich echt schwer zu erkennen.

Das hier... ist AI:

Quelle: Geklaut vom Niji Journey Discord Server. Niji Version 5.

Ja von wegen AI kann keine Hände. Sicher, die stimmen nicht ganz, aber... nur 2-3 kleine Handgriffe und die Fehler wären behoben. So ganz grob, ohne Ahnung... sieht das für die meisten Leute wohl aus wie ein ganz normales Artwork.

Sehen wir uns das mal näher an: Ein Artist mit diesem Skill würde auch ein Ohr vollkommen ausarbeiten. Das Bild hat doch wirklich viele Details. Wieso sollte da beim Ohr die Anatomie ignoriert werden? Es fehlt oben ein Teil - und die Knorpel des Ohres sind nicht verbunden. Und dann der Ohrring. Wieso sollte man so einen Hingucker in einem solch detailreichen Bild so schief nach schräg gestalten, wo doch der Stein auf der Stirn klar und korrekt gemalt worden ist?

Und welcher Logik folgt die Spitze und das Muster des Kleides? Blumenkohl? Natürlich kann ein Kleid ein mannigfaltiges wildes Muster haben, jedoch ist deutlich der klare Ansatz des Ausschnitts zu sehen, der eine gewisse saubere Linie vorgibt. Und hin und wieder finden sich Blumen in dem Design, die nur eben nicht konsequent durchgezogen werden.

Tja und dann die eine Hand im Detail. Muss ich mehr sagen? Der Daumen scheint dem Handgelenk zu entspringen, der Mittelfinger hat ein Reiskorn als Nagel und irgendwas hält die Hand auch scheinbar fest...

Das Bild ist echt hübsch - keine Frage. Aber halt auch nur ein Bild. Keine Kunst. Keine Intention. Keine Geschichte. Sicher, wir können ihm eine Geschichte geben, die Arbeit, die hinter dem Bild steckt, ist jedoch gestohlen.

Das hier ist schon schwerer:

Quelle: Geklaut auf dem Midjourney Server. Midjourney V5.

Uff. Das ist hart oder? Er hat alle Pfoten, die haben auch nicht 10 Finger, sein Gesicht ist symmetrisch, die Ohren auch... Das einfach von Illustrator vektorisieren lassen und well... perfekte Vektorgrafik. Oder?

Das Problem: Die hier aufgezeigten Fehler können jedem Artist einfach passieren. Aber bei einer eigentlich so clean ausgearbeiteten Grafik ist es ungewöhnlich eine solche Vielzahl vorzufinden.

Ein Strich steht am Ohr über. Die Innenohrfarbe folgt nicht clean dem Rand der Ohren bzw. die Welle, die die Innenohrfarbe macht, ist unsauber, beim von uns aus rechten Ohr auch nicht symmetrisch.

Die Zunge kommt nicht mittig aus dem Mund.

Der Blush des Hundes ist unter den Augen und teilweise wie verzerrt unter dem Auge (hier rechts von uns aus gesehen)

Generell haben die schwarzen Linien seltsame Doppellinien Effekte und das leichte Muster über dem Hund ist nicht gleichmäßig. Wieso sollte diese Art Muster unregelmäßig sein?

Allerdings ist AI auch nur bei so simplen Sachen so gut.

Hier brauch ich nicht mal ranzoomen, hier seh ich sofort: Da stimmt ja gar nichts.

Quelle: Midjourney V5 Bildchen

Die AI müsste für jeden einzelnen Bereich alles einzeln rendern, bräuchte ewig und müsste auch noch korrigiert werden, um so viele Details hinzukriegen.

Ich habe ein paar Stichworte diesbezüglich für euch:

Verwaschen

Verwischt

Schmierig

Folgt keiner logischen Linie

Keine klar zu erkennenden Texte.

Wellige Linien, die gerade sein müssten

Linien werden nicht bis zum Ende durchgezogen, sondern scheinen wie abgelenkt, werden in andere Objekte hineingezogen oder formen auf einmal etwas Neues.

Und die zwei wichtigsten Stichworte: Plastikhaft. Leblos.

Nur sehr selten gelingt der AI etwas wirklich greifbar lebendig wirkendes zu erschaffen, bei gemalten Bildern häufiger, als bei Fotos und 3D Gestaltung.

Oh ja, der Froggo sieht realistisch aus, nur was ist da mit der Hand los? Und wer hat diese Weste verbrochen? Warum springt da Wasser aus der Tasse und wieso hält er sich nicht am Henkel? Huch, die ganzen Knöpfe da am Mantel, aye...

Quelle: Midjourney Discord

Na bei dem Typen stimmt wenigstens die Hand. Ansonsten sitzt aber das Hemd irgendwie seltsam, sein Gesichtsausdruck kann sich nicht zwischen Lachen und Niesen entscheiden und die Leute im Hintergrund könnten nicht mehr "random" sein.

Erinnern wir uns an unsere Stichworte und schauen uns dieses Bild mal ganz genau an:

Was geht denn da mit den Ohrringen ab? Und welchem Konzept folgen die Haare bitte?

Und die Blätter sind auch nicht wirklich verbunden, folgen nicht der gleichen Form, haben so eine seltsame Kante an sich, die nicht ganz zum malerischen Aspekt des restlichen Bildes passt.

Schwierig zu finden, aber eben doch auszumachen. Um diese falsch gerenderten Details zu fixen würde es Fähigkeiten benötigen, die aktuell nur Artists haben, die so ein Bild selber malen können, keine AI brauchen und ohnehin lieber eigene Geschichten erzählen. lul

Aber... irgendwie hat die AI ja durch ihre Art zu sampeln auch etwas Eigenes, Spannendes. Der Vibe dieses älteren Midjourney Bildes ist in vielen AI Bildchen wiederzufinden, egal von welchem Anbieter, egal welche Methode. Auch hier sind wieder die schmierigen Linien, die oft die Verbindung und ihren Zweck verlieren, sehr entlarvend. Genau wie die merkwürdigen Entscheidungen hinsichtlich der Kopfform und des delligen Himmels. Aber ein Laie? Das sieht man nur mit Übung, das interessiert einen vielleicht auch nur, wenn man selber schon ein Auge für Techniken entwickelt hat.

Entdeckt ihr hier all die Probleme? Nun bei der Dame mit den langen rosa Haaren, sagen wir, da ist es noch einfach... XD

Aber hier bei denen? Da hab ich echt meine Probleme, denn sogar das Muster ist symmetrisch und clean.

Ich als Artist sehe den perspektivischen Fehler hier, aber wer noch?

Und auf den 3. Blick wird klar, die eben noch symmetrischen Linien sind es gar nicht.

Quelle: Modjourney Discord V5 und V4

Also Fazit: AI Bilder sind auf den 2. oder 3. Blick immer so ein bisschen "WAS IST DENN HIER LOS?"

Andere Beispiele, um ein Gefühl für euch zu schaffen, was möglich ist:

Krass ne?

Echt krass...

Müsst ihr jetzt deshalb jedes Bild im Netz mit der Lupe durchforsten? Ne. Weil... sorry, aber das ist auch nicht unsere Verantwortung, da sollte sich mal jemand mit ein bisschen mehr Macht drum kümmern. Vielleicht all jene, die sonst wegen Lizenzen und Copyright die schützende Hand über uns halten? Oder die Großkonzerne, die schon bei runden schwarzen Ohren ihre Anwälte auf Artists hetzen, selbst wenn der Charakter ein Bär ist und keine Maus.

Wir haben schon genug scheiße um die Ohren. Ich hab inzwischen viel AI Zeug auf Pinterest in meinen Favoriten, weil ich vor allem lange nichts von der Niji Version 5 mitbekommen habe. Ich wusste nicht, wie gut die ist.

Liebe Kunstschaffende, ich weiß doch auch nicht.

AI ersetzt bereits Berufe.

Dabei könnte AI Berufe erweitern.

Hier, das ist auch AI. Und was macht sie? Hilft euch Nervarbeit abzunehmen, damit ihr mehr Kunst machen könnt. Sie koloriert für euch eure Animationen. EPISCH. https://cadmium.app/

Wenn ihr könnt: Bitte teilt weiter eure Bilder. Bitte seid weiter laut. Bitte klärt weiter auf.

Nehmt euren Prozess auf, um die 2. Kunst hinter fertigen Artworks zu zeigen: Die Entstehung. Bis AI das simulieren kann... und will man das? Weil das ist so offensichtlich fake.

Die Echtheit seiner Kunst beweisen zu müssen ist vor allem gar nicht so neu lol

Ich will eure Hände sehen, eure Fehler, eure Tränen, das Lachen, die falsch gefärbten Ebenen, die Skizzen... das ist so lebendig. Noch nie konnten wir an so viel von eurer Kunst teilnehmen, wie durch das digitale Zeitalter.

Und damit jetzt erstmal Tschüssi.

I did some Fire Force research for the last chapter of my fic and I'm??? Confused??? About this timeline????

Now either they did sth wrong or I misremembered the timeline since the beginning. I thought the fire against the horned demon that Konro won was 2 years ago and not 4 but maybe they simply never said it and I wrongly assumed that it correcalted to some other unrelated event.

Benimaru being utterly finished in the flachback does make more sense though with him being 18 and not 20 and he also has way less muscle there as well. But as we say in Germany:

Tja.

I'm not going to comb through 220k words to correct that mistake. My fic plotline... would still make sense if I did that becasue I only reached summer instead of bridging the (wrong) 2 years until canon but I don't care. I'm good and as no one ever said anything about this everyone else is good as well 👌

[sahnejungsliebhaber]

Tja, immer nur faul im Sessel liegen hat Folgen! Da wird man selbst zum weichen prallgefülltem (Speck)kissen.

Well, always lying lazily in your armchair has consequences! You become a soft, overfilled (fat) pillow yourself.

[ask-felix-aberg]

Lilith walks into your dorm room without knocking, your door opens wide and with such force that it hits the wall with a loud BANG. It does not phase the newcomer: she instantly launches something in your direction. She spots @ask-andrew-larson by his bed as well and puts her hand on her hip, surprised to observe such a skittish baby deer in the wild, my, my. They hunt those for sport at Durmstrang, sweet face and all. She turns to look at Felix and points at the projectile she chucked at him.

"Ey. Just some goodies for you two. You eat them just like that. But," she sighs. "I was told not everyone just eats them here so here's a solution: you dip beans in chocolate."

With that, she digs a chocolate bar out of her bag and almost throws it at Andrew but changes her mind right before doing it. The chocolate gets placed on the table instead. Lilith leaves without closing the door behind her.

Felix’ heart nearly leaps out of his chest as the door slams open, making him jump in his seat. He whirls around to face the unexpected visitor with wide eyes, only to find Lilith standing there, her aura almost intimidating.

Before he could even utter a word, she had already hurled something in his direction. He barely manages to catch the coffee beans, his fingers fumbling awkwardly to keep them from spilling onto the floor, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

He shoots a glance at the small hole in the wall left by the force of the door, a silent testament to Lilith's determined entrance, before turning his full attention back to her. The confident Ravenclaw seemed to be in a hurry to leave as quickly as she had arrived.

Before Felix could gather his thoughts or even muster a response, she was already gone, leaving the room as quickly as she entered. The Swede shoots a puzzled glance at Andrew, silently asking him for any explanation he might have.

His gaze shifts between the beans in his hands and the chocolate bar now sitting on the table. A smile tugs at his lips as an idea forms in his mind.

"Tja, Andrew," he says cheerfully, "want to whip up something delicious with these?" He gestures towards the ingredients with a nod of his head, already moving in the direction of the door.

With a flick of his wand, he repairs the hole in the wall with a whispered "Reparo," then turns back to his friend, waiting for his answer with a hopeful look in his eyes and a smile plastered on his lips.

Masterlist

As you sat slumped against your boyfriends form you joined into the conversation Eddie and Gareth were having. You were sat in the student lounge, Robin a vickie huddled togethers on a love seat, Nancy in Steve's lap, Jeff in an armchair as Eddie sat on the end of the long couch, unconsciously stroking your hair as your head rested in his lap, feet hanging heavy with the weight of your docs off the other armrest of the couch. 

“So Y/N” Jeff caught your attention “You sitting in on hellfire tonight?” he asked as he leaned forward in his chair to look at you. “Not tonight” you answered, craning your neck to make eye contact with Jeff. “Wait youre not?” Eddie looked down at you as your attention was brought back to him, looking into his round brown eyes. You gestured towards the older girls “Were having a girls night” you smiled at him. “Yup, we're getting shitfaced on cheap wine at Nancy’s” Robin jokes, earning a light slap on her arm from her girlfriend. 

“Oh ok” Eddie said, slightly deflated. “Don't worry, you can pick me up after, i'll probably be drunk as hell but past experiences hint towards that being not much of a problem” you smirk up at him, earning a chuckle and a few laughs from the other. 

Just as Eddie was about to speak up the sound of your phone ringing interrupted him “Oh, hang on” you wriggled on the couch, awkwardly trying to get access to your phone in the back of your black jeans. 

“Hallå?” you asked, your voice had immediately sunk in depth, talking less high pitched and more what could only be described as annoyed. Gareth frowned. “Aa tja” you greeted your mom on the phone. 

By now you had gotten the group's attention. “Nää asså jag ska bara chilla hos Nancy” the word sounded so out of place in the conversation, you didn't say the word at all the way you would when speaking English. “Jo o sen ska jag över till Eddie” again the name sounded straight. 

“What the hell is she saying?” Robin piped up, asking your boyfriend. “No clue, but I’m guessing she's talking to her mom about Nancy since she's speaking Swedish” you sat up on the couch, resting your back against the pillows now. “Jag tror att jag sover där, är det okej?” you asked your mom. 

“Why is she speaking swedish?” Steve asked, confused. “Her mom's swedish. Wait you guys didn't know?” they shook their heads. “She swears in Swedish like all the time” Eddie frowned as. 

You decided to stand up, the noise of the others talking distracting you and opting to stand by the vending machines while you talked on the phone. “Haven't you heard her, she goes like ‘fan’ and ‘jävlar” he butchered the second swear horribly. 

“I thought she was just a weirdo” Gareth grinned earning a look shot by Eddie. “Yeah well she speaks Swedish at home, even mixes up the languages” you hung up the phone and walked back to your seat, this time in Eddie's lap. “She'll shout at me from the other side of the trailer and expect me to know what she means” he grinned as you rolled your eyes. 

“Well it's your fault for not speaking Swedish” you joked as Eddie slank a hand on your thighs. “So you speak swedish? Like fluently?” Jeff asked. You frowned “Well yeah my mom's Swedish, didn't I tell you this?” 

“No” Nancy chuckled. “Oh well surprise” you gave small jazz hands. The bell rang as you all stood up to make your way to your next class, you had bio with Robin. 

You leaned up to give eddie a kiss “Okej, Hejdå Bajskrov, älskar dig” you grinned. “Hejdå, älskar dig, bajskorv” Eddie responded with the few words you had taught him, he said them in such an awkward way tho, making you cringe. 

You hooked your arm with Robins as she began bombarding you with questions. “Ah so you speak swish now too?” you heard Steve joke with Eddie. “Nah, just some stuff she taught me he chuckled as Gareth's hand slapped onto his shoulder. “What did she say then?” 

Eddie cringed a little “Well she said bye, that she loves me and that I’m a bajskorv” he grinned back at you as you began slowly walking out the door. Behind you you could hear Gareth ask “What's a bajskorv?”

You giggled as Eddie rolled his eyes “Some childish word, basically a shitsausage” Gareth frowned. “Well it makes sense in swedish!” you shouted as you turned and walked to class with Robin. 

✨Translation✨

Some of the words like the swares are specific to Swedish so they are difficult to translate but you get the jist. 

Hallå?- Hello

Aa tja- Yeah hey

Nää asså jag ska bara chilla hos Nancy- Nah I'm just gonna’ chill at Nancy’s

Jo o sen ska jag över till Eddie- Yeah and then I’m going over to Eddies

Jag tror att jag sover där, är det okej?- I think I'll sleep there, is that okay?

Okej, Hejdå Bajskrov, älskar dig- Okey, bye “shit sausage”, love you

JinJiyanAzadi #BijiRojava WATCH The woman who defeated hundreds of ISIS militants [UPDATES]

Rojda Felat, who leads the “Wrath of the Euphrates Campaign,” is fighting to liberate Raqqa from ISIS.

Felat talks about the challenges she and the other female fighters she leads face on multiple fronts, and how she was able to gradually overcome fear.

This report comes within the framework of the 100 Women season, through which the BBC tells the stories of women and their achievements…

RELATED UPDATE: [FRENCH] WATCH Rojda Felat, the extraordinary Kurdish fighter who liberated Raqqa

The commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces who triumphed on Tuesday in the former “capital” of the caliphate is a long-time activist for women’s rights. Of all the women

On Tuesday, she displayed a radiant smile alongside dozens of comrades in combat, on the Al-Naïm roundabout, waving a huge yellow flag bearing the name of her militia. “This is where Daesh beheaded innocent people accused of refusing to serve the Islamic State (IS),” explained Rojda Felat, the commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who led “Anger the Euphrates,” the operations. on the city of Raqqa, Syria. This city which was finally liberated after having served, for months, as a rear base for the jihadists and which the IS had proclaimed the capital of its terrorist “caliphate”.

For Elle, who painted her portrait last August, she is “the woman who has made Daesh tremble” for months. The magazine wrote in particular that “when the sweet voice of Rojda Felat rises in the military command room, […] everyone, without exception, listens to her religiously.” His role was “immense”: “It is an honor but it is a very great responsibility to lead the battle against the “capital” of Daesh. […] The Islamic State is not an enemy like the others. He is strong, well organized and has his ideology that he tries to spread. The issue is not only military,” continued the Kurdish commander, who calls herself a Muslim and a believer…

Zoals beloofd

Bronnen; Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. Daarnaast voor mensen die treinen willen gaan spotten of net komen kijken.... Er zijn locomotieven, zoals de HLE18, waar je niet in kunt zitten. Daarnaast zijn er stuurrijtuigen/treinstellen/motorrijtuigen waarbij je wél in de eerste wagon kunt zitten. Als er niks bij staat hieronder is de trein een motorrijtuig en is er dus geen aparte locomotief-wagon nodig. De lijst hieronder gaat trouwens over ruituigen/wagons. Dat kunnen stuurrijtuigen zijn, maar het zijn sowieso altijd de rijtuigen/wagons in het midden van de trein. Je kunt dus echter ook een combinatie hebben zoals een "I6+I10" trein waarbij beide type wagons gecombineerd zijn. Mocht je dus ooit een trein met twee verschillende type wagons zien, dat is normaal, dat gebeurt soms in de treinwereld. ;)

Zie Wikipedia voor meer informatie, voor nu presenteer ik met trots het simpele lijstje NMBS treinen 101!

Klassiek motorstellen; MS66/MS75/MS80/MS86/MS96/MS08 en MSCR en M4

(Ik heb geen idee waarom specifiek de M4 nauwelijks verschilt van de MS-reeks.)

Naar mijn mening zijn dit de meeste typische NMBS-treinen. Bekend om hun "communistische stoelen" in de 2e klasse. Vanaf de buitenkanten kunnen ze sterk van elkaar verschillen, maar de meeste lijken vanaf voor ongeveer op de MSCR CityRail hieronder afgebeeld. De nummers verwijzen naar het bouwjaar. MSCR zijn hierbij oudere treinen die gemoderniseerd zijn. MS66 wordt sinds 2023 niet meer gebruikt, maar 2023 was vorige jaar dus daarom staat die er nog bij.

Voor meer informatie, zie zeker hier;

https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klassiek_motorstel

I6

De I6 is de enige NMBS-trein die nog steeds het "coupé systeem gebruikt" dat gebruikelijk was in de vroege 20ste eeuw. Zoals te zien op de foto heeft deze trein nog een locomotief nodig.

I10

Tja, wat moet ik erover zeggen? Gewon een klassiekertje. Heeft net zoals de I6 een locomotief nodig.

I11

Tja, kan aan mij liggen, maar ik zie het verschil met de I10 niet echt, behalve in de raampjes. (Heeft ook een locomotief nodig, net als de I6 en I10.)

MW41

Idk, lijkt op de I10 en I11. Herkenbaar vanwege de gele voorkant en de banner met daarop de bestemming.

M5/M6/M7

De enige dubbeldekkers van de NMBS! Tevens bekend vanwege de "open bank ruimtes" (zie derde foto);

@nederlandsespoorwegen Ik had beloofd je te taggen. Dit was erg leuk om in elkaar te flansen en de hoeveelheid typen wagons van de NMBS valt dus eigenlijk echt mee!

@nmbs-sncb-official I'll tag you as well, just so you know. ;)

While rewatching the good omens season 2 episode 6, for like the fifth time and hearing " no nightgales" I realised I don't actually know what nightgales are. ( English is not my first language). I had to google it and I was reminded of a song in my native language.

V dolini tihi je vasica mala

V večernem mraku vse že mirno spava

Le eno okno še odprto je

Na njem slonelo žalostno dekle

Vse že spava samo mesec sveti

Tja na okno otožnemu dekletu

In jo sprašuje zakaj da še ne spi

Zakaj tak grenke solze briše si

In jo sprašuje zakaj da še ne spi

Zakaj tak grenke solze briše s

Slavček pel je, pel je pesem svojo

A jaz tajila sem ljubezen mojo

Al on odšel je, odšel je daleč proč

Zapel, zavriskal je v tiho noč

Al on odšel je, odšel je daleč proč

Zapel, zavriskal je v tiho noč

This is my native language and it's not a well known language and it doesn't translate right most of the time, so here is the rough translation I did, hopefully it makes at least some sense.

In the quite valley, there is a small village,

By the twilight everything is sleeping

But one window, is still open

Leaning on it was a young girl

Everything is sleeping on the moon is shining

On the young girls window

And it's asking her, why she isn't sleeping yet

Why she's wiping such bitter tears.

And it's asking her, why she isn't sleeping yet.

The nightngale sang, it sang it's song

But it I ignored my love

And now he's gone, he's gone far away

He sang and shot in the quite night

And now he's gone, he's gone far away

He sang and shot in the quite night

It kinda reminded me of Crowly pushing down his feelings and not communicating them well, so Aziraphel leaves happy. Both the last 15 minutes of season two and the song talk about repressed felling and the losing a loved one, due to poor understanding of emotion.

If anyone is curious the song is V dolini tihi by Lojze Slak. It in Slovenian song and here is kind of a national song and I'm happy I can connect my passion with my history.
