[fishtail-tavra]

Dreamed of 1980’s animated adaptation of Age of Resistance (in the style of the last unicorn) and to be honest it was super fun

They pushed everything into one, hour and a half movie, so a lot of things that were secrets weren’t anymore and the set up got changed to move things right to the climax-

So everyone knows the Skeksis are evil and eating people, but the Skeksis are holding everyone hostage saying the Dark Crystal will die without them (taking all of Thra with it) and THEY will die without Gelfling essence, so from the very start tithes include sacrifices and the retuning of the drained people and

In my dream I cared more about the gays though, meaning Tavra and Onica.

Tavra got introduced arriving late to some big party Mayrin was hosting for the visiting Skeksis- no actually, it was for Brea? Some kind of coming of age thing?- anyway, Tavra trips and falls on her face coming in the doors and everyone’s very O_O; except her sisters who are already running over to say hi

She tripped though bc she saw ONICA in the crowd, disguised, and there were a lot of shots of her in the background during the main action of the party, looking worried and discreetly talking with Totally Not Onica while spilling things on herself absentmindedly or having to get tugged out of the way gently by Onica before she runs into/got run into by someone else

(there’s a morning scene later where we see them in bed together- very PG- both still fully dressed bc Tavra was up most of the night worrying- but Onica is watching Tavra sleep now, reaching out to touch her recently shortened hair (more on that later), and Tavra wakes up from that, smiling, and it’s the first time in the movie we see her really smile so)

In my dream I was mostly busy looking at screen caps and gifs of these two, but there was other changes I had fun with, like BADASS ARCHER NAIA

Naia showing up at the last big battle-

(right before the Skeksis get spooked into unleash the garthim and the clans all scatter desperately hoping at least one Gelfling survives the slaughter long enough to fulfil the Far-Dream that Onica led them into dreaming together blah blah)  

-with this MASSIVE bow, bigger than she is, (lots of cool shots of her arms and back muscles whenever she drew it) and to fire the thing she actually needs to be either standing on something (usually her brother) (or one time both Kylan and Amri stood in for a single Gurjin) or she needs to be airborne

She and Gurjin had this trick where he’d kneel down and she’d run and jump on him, he’d boost her up, and she’d use her wings to slow her fall long enough to get off a shot or two before landing again

She didn’t used it to kill anyone (except Arathim) bc movie Naia still was big on not having the Mystics as collateral damage for stopping the Skeksis,

But she did get a few really dramatic shots- once shattering a Skeksis’s jeweled staff when they were using it to hypnotized and then almost kill someone- and another where (after her own bow got broken) she picks up urVa’s bow (MUCH bigger than hers) and uses her legs while lying on the ground wounded to shoot a flask of essence out of a skeksis hand before they can drink it

In this adaption though Brea is the one who really gets the rebellion kicking, still by reading something, but not a book this time

The movie had Brea going through the trial by wing that her grandmother started as like a coming of age/proof of power to rule kinda thing, where the women who lead the Vapra have to fly the dangerous winds of Raunip’s Pass alone, reach this one high spot where Raunip left an inscription, read it and bring back a stone from the pile siting nearby

This rock pile and inscribed stone is actually the movie version of Lore,

only this time Lore was created by ye oldie Tavra (Raunip’s Friend) to keep her friend Raunip company long after she was dead, and as a way to show no hard feelings for the fight they had over the UrSkeks.

But when Raunip left for the last time (passing through the mountains of Tavra’s home and what would later get named Raunip’s pass) he left Lore behind in the cliffs overlooking Ha’rar, so the Dream-Stitched stone could watch over Tavra’s people even after he was gone

This choked me up every time dream me saw a dream post about it ngl

Anyway, Seladon the 1st, Mayrin, Seladon the 2nd, and Tavra had all just flown up there, seen some old oddly etched rocks, the dedication from Raunip to his friend Tavra, shrugged and grabbed a rock before leaving

(the size of the rock you could manage to haul back was also part of the trial and Seladon was feeling both worried for ‘airheaded’ Brea and insecure knowing her little sister was probably going to bring back a larger stone than Seladon- with her crooked wing- had felt safe carrying)

Only Brea actually takes an interest the ancient writing and the symbols and the odd carvings and she gets distracted clearing away some dirt and rubble

underneath she finds the Dream-Stitching, activates it, gets a lore dump from ye oldie Tavra’s memories AND gets Lore itself to wake up, when it turns out to be able to play recordings of Raunip’s voice etched into stone- Tavra’s real gift to him, a way for him to Dream-Stitch his memories and be remembered even without vliya- so Brea ALSO gets all of RAUNIP’S fears and confessions about his involvement with the second great conjunction and the UrSkeks and the shattering and how things have gone downhill since then and

Brea’s family is getting increasingly worried she’s taking so long, what if she got smashing on the rocks by the winds, what if she’s hurt and needs help-

and the Skeksis get a chance to be evil and manipulative commenting that if Brea isn’t strong enough to follow in her grandmother’s flight path then maybe it’s the will of Thra that she fails this challenge and never comes home

I think I remember this being one of those moments where you can see everyone’s different reactions in a single frame, and it went something like Mayrin: devastated, Seladon: flinching and cringing, Tavra: looking absolutely murderous.

This is when Tavra steps forward and when questioned says she’s going to go look for her sister, since it was the will of Thra that they BE sisters in the first place, and Seladon hesitates before also saying she’ll go with Tavra

But that’s when Brea comes home with an entire rock monster and sort of accidentally starts a rebellion by asking questions, so

The night BEFORE this, the party scene, with the tithing and the prepping Brea for her big day, there had been this moment when the drained Gelflings were returned home, and Mira was one of them

And so Rian had come too, because up until this moment the “crystal anointed” were kept in seclusion, hooded and veiled, to keep a general panic from breaking out, and they only were released back to their own family in the clan they came from

(an information isolation tactic, to help the Skeksis spread rumors of each clan paying more than the other, or of their offered Gelfling being less worthy of the Crystal’s light and THAT’S why they are Like That Now, but the other clans aren’t being effected, no no no it’s totally just you, and you’re also having to give more people because the richer clans are paying more in tithes to send fewer offerings, so really the ones you should be mad at are the OTHER CLANS, not the Skeksis, the Skeksis don’t care how they get their sacrifices, the Skeksis only care about maintaining the Crystal that maintains all life on Thra obviously-)

Rian followed them to Ha’rar (with Gurjin) (and Naia because Naia’s not letting her twin go off into maybe danger without her) to finally reunite with Mira, but she’s been SO badly drained he barely recognizes her and she DOESN’T recognize him,

Cue very sad scene of Rian trying to help her remember, and after a bit she does reach out to dreamfast, like its instinct, only nothing happens, and Naia (the healer) checks and declares she doesn’t have enough vliya to dreamfast with- in fact, she doesn’t have enough to stay alive with, even. She isn’t just old and drained looking. She’s dying.

Rian is horrified, Rian breaks down, Rian shouts at the Skeksis while crying and holding Mira close,

The Skeksis don’t like that and we get a fun dramatic party screeches to a halt scene as the General gets up and draws his sword

Dream me thought it was very fun that Gurjin still got his hero moment, causing a distraction by taking on the castle guards that came here with the Skeksis so Rian could get Mira away

(also callback to the first movie, with a drained and totally out of it Mira still managing to break her and Rian’s fall with her wings when he has to throw them off a cliff)

(he totally thought they were gonna die together and was fine with that)

(instead they land on a Sifa ship and WOOO YEAH TAE AND ETHRI ARE HERE totally not because Oinca had a feeling it would be good and convenient if they parked their ship in this very specific spot)

Back in Ha’rar, Gurjin is captured by the guard, a pissed Naia challenges and fights the general about it

(there was a scene were the Skeksis realize Naia and Gurjin are twins and get Excited about that)

So they make a deal with Naia, if she wins, her brother will go free, if she loses… they both will go to the crystal together.

And while all THIS was happening, BREA ran off to fetch Tavra, who’d slipped away at some point, and runs in on the secret that her big stern sister is very much kissing a Sifa, which these days is Very Very illegal, but Brea’s just shocked to see very serious soldier Tavvra actually kissing anyone-

She remembers to tell Tavra what’s happening at the party, Tavra dives out the nearest window to get there faster, Onica suggests she and Brea take a detour along the way

(the detour is to set up a small tricky sabotage that will let Naia escape in moment)

The first time we see Tavra do anything cool in the movie is when she breaks through a window, sword drawn, and slashes at the General’s hand to make him drop Naia when he has her by the throat

Tavra and the General duel, Naia uses this distraction to attack the guards holding Gurjin and they exit stage right pursued by more guards, Seladon is freaking out and Mayrin calls for Tavra to stand down-

And in the tags of one post about this, ppl talk about how earlier in the movie it was set up how Gelfling don’t normally cut there hair short, since hair is kinda like tree rings or roots to them, so getting rid of it is like throwing away your life up till then and wanting to forget/distance yourself from it

(a thing traditionally associated with criminals, outlaws, Gelflings who went against their families)

BUT lately short hair has ALSO been used by rebels, the rumored Gelflings who refuse to pay tithes or offer up people to the castle

So this scene comes up, Tavra's duel, where the General says something like “blah blah traitorous Vapra, blah, oath breaking Gelfling scum”

And Tavra’s just like, it’s not breaking a vow to defend the people I’ve sworn to protect- which makes the General so mad he tries decapitating her, only she just kneels in response and bows her head-

So the sword cuts off her braid of hair instead. Big crowd reaction shot and gasp

(also revelation that Tavra’s hair is really wavy/curly when it’s short and not tied back, I don’t know why dream me thought that detail was super fun)    

(tags on this post point out that this is kinda like, symbolism of how the Skeksis have being cutting Gelfling’s off from their actual old laws and traditions while making Gelflings bow to them instead)

And the other Skeksis sees this, hears the murmurs and muttering, sees the very bad PR image of a Skeksis about to kill a princess who is kneeling on the floor before him WHILE ALL THEIR PERSONAL GUARDS ARE MISSING and rushes in to pull the General back before he can split Tavra down the middle

The party ends… awkwardly, with the Skeksis placating the crowd by commending Tavra (through gritted beaks) for withstanding their ‘test’ of her loyalty and duty to her vows as a paladin, which they totally did on purpose, never would have actually killed anyone nope

They just barely restrain most of their rage when the guards come back (covered in odd powders that make them sneeze and slipping on boots covered in grease) to report that the three ‘criminals’ have escaped with their ‘abducted’ ‘prisoner’ (Mira)

annnnnnd they’re forced to accept Mayrin’s offer of Tavra leading her soldiers on the search, since they’re the only ones who know Ha’rar well enough to do it

(quick scene of Tavra directing her paladins to search the mountains and the cliffs and the village and the valley, and… no, not the seashore or the coast. Without the help of a Sifa they wouldn’t survive long there and would have to turn inland soon anyway. it’s not like there are any Sifa up here right now. Right? Right.)

I think I also remember that Deet gets introduced while she’s dreamfasting a giant taint-maddened nebrie-

(she can’t heal them, but as long as she’s dreamfasting with them SHE can take on the pain and horror of the taint, and when she sings while doing that they fall peacefully asleep, letting anyone nearby get safely away)

And it turns out she’s been working so hard to find out what’s going on with the tainted creatures of Thra she’s become sensitive to the presence of the taint, AND good enough at listening with her vliya that she can hear and understand what the Trees are saying, even though their voices have almost gone quiet

The trees lost contract with each other as the taint spread (some of them being taken over by it even) so Deet got sent out by her clan’s Tree to contact / warn / bring messages to the other trees and their clans

There was still that cool moment of Kylan dreamstitching the warning onto flower petals and everyone watching them fly off in a cloud so I guess Deet recruited him at some point… or no… maybe that was to summon the clans to what ended up being the big final battle?

I feel like there was a ‘lighting the beacons’ scene where all the clans lit their blue flames and a moment (echoing the opening of the tv show) where we saw their leaders all standing together in dreamfast on a map vision of Skarith land, reaching out to each other around a shared blue fire….

Anyway taking on the suffering of the taint was slowly tainting Deet herself, and she kept lashing out in pain more, or getting lost in the nightmare visions of the crystal’s breaking  

She got one cool scene at the end though.

After the Gelfling come together to Far-Dream the prophecy of how the Skeksis might fall and the Skeksis see this and, in a panic, unleash all their Garthim before they can even control them properly, leading to many Gelfling being killed instead of captured for draining-

Deet is one of the ones caught and brought back to be drained, but she’s laughing when they strap her into the draining chair, and when she calls out,

all the tainted creatures she’s helped over the movie wake up in time to cause havoc on any nearby garthim-

and so do the Trees, reconnected briefly THROUGH the spreading taint BY Deet as she’s being DRAINED by the crystal, and the connection lasts just long enough for their roots to soak up as much of the taint as they can while tearing up the ground around the castle, breaking the crystal (and the taint’s) direct connection to the rest of Thra-

The trees all die, burning up in a last blaze of vliya along with Deet, but the tainted creatures aren't tainted anymore, and outside the barren land around the castle everything else starts growing in healthy again

Turns out it was the world that was feeding life to the crystal, not the other way around

(another skeksis lie)

Which makes the skeksis ultra SUPER unhappy the garthim rampage killed off so many useful Gelflings before their essence could be drained

The stinger ending was Kylan finishing writing all this down and hiding the book just before garthim burst in, the shot of his hand desperately tucking the book away-

-jump cutting to Jen’s hand gently pulling it’s crumbling pages out of hiding who knows how many trine later

Final shot being a slow pull back and pan out of Jen calling to Kira about what he found, and her excitedly calling back that she thinks a small nearby sapling might have just talked to her, so maybe he could read the book aloud to both of them?

end credits roll over the scene as Jen reads and Kira clears away weeds from a young baby tree, while fizzgig gets chased around the clearing by a whole pack of little angry baby fizzgigs

And that’s it, that’s the movie adaption that doesn’t exist but I got to be in the fandom of for a few glorious minutes

The last unicorn animation style REALLY went well with the vibes. loved it.

[disenchantedif]

Theo is so feral oh my lord- 😭 He’s like the the epitome of the “get your fcking dog” vine. With that in mind, how would each RO react to disaster twins MC and Theo. An Mc that has just as much feral gremlin energy as Theo and can’t be left alone with them because something WILL go up in flames.

Luci and Cam are equally horrified because you’re both menaces.

Harlow enjoys the entertainment and the duo of you and Theo are the only ones that can make them laugh.

Viktor is affectionately exasperated but will bail you out if you get in trouble (both figuratively and literally).

Penny doesn’t get a lot of your jokes but LOVES the energy lol.

Avery has nightmares about the two of you finding out what a lighter and hairspray can do.

The Wraith is the one that shows you what a lighter and hairspray can do. They thrive on the chaos.

Amri is totally down for the train wreck that is your friendship. They’d probably pay you both to terrorize their dad for them.

Charlie is more of a chill, laidback type but once they become friends with you two, you draw out the worst in them lmfao.

And Theo, of course, loves their partner in crime.

questions? DM or send an ask on this blog or my main @amri-my-child

[fallenlightsif]

Who would the cast in FL get along with best from your other games?

(Here's the resend!!)

Asdksjdhj I’ll answer the ask under the correct one this time!

Florian: Would get along so well with Viktor from @disenchantedif tbh. They’re both very soft and love their friends with their whole hearts, very protective at their cores.

Marcella: Tbh she’d get along well with Luci from @disenchantedif just because they have similar trauma related to their families, but Marcie escaped way sooner. I think she’d help them realize that there’s light at the end.

That or Niy from @reapersbayif simply because Niy is a pirate and therefore has a boat.

E: Surprisingly enough, Kai from @reapersbayif. Kai would kill E’s family for them to jumpstart the healing process and would try and understand E’s quirks and difficulties on a deeper level than most, I think.

Ari: Amri from @disenchantedif because she respects the integrity and understands the pain of your family not accepting who you want to become. She’d totally help them right a tell-all exposé.

Dimitri: He would beat sense into Cam from @theunseelieif with a hammer but after that they’d be good friends.

Would also get along well with Kendall from @theunseelieif because they have similar anxieties of being unloveable. They’d hate themselves with insisting the other should live themselves and not see the irony in it at all.

Orion: Has to be Kiran from @theunseelieif. Orion’s biggest fear is betrayal and Kiran would rather cut off their own arm than betray a friend. Kiran would also hug Orion, which he sorely needs.

Rowan: Mica from @reapersbayif because they’re an academic but in a much softer way than Rowan, and I think ultimately Rowan would want to protect that softness in a way Rowan themselves was never protected.

Kira: Would absolutely love Mari from @reapersbayif! Someone give Kira a gun and the game will be over in one chapter lmfao. For real though, Mari and Kira is a friendship match made in hell and they’ll wreck everyone. Mari with fae magic at their disposal? Someone call a medic.

Cier: Aub from @theunseelieif because they enjoy similar brands of chaos. That or Theo from @disenchantedif because…again, similar brands of chaos. Those three could fuck shit up.

Ilaria: Probably Josie from @theunseelieif because Josie would snap her out of her self destructive spirals and Ilaria would kill someone for her vampire bestie.

Long Distance Marriage

Usia pernikahan yang aku jalani memang masih sangatlah sebentar, baru dua bulan menikah aku dan suami menjalani Long Distance Marriage (LDM). Tentunya keputusan ini kami ambil setelah melakukan diskusi panjang dan secara sadar, jauh hari sebelum kami benar-benar yakin untuk melanjutkan hidup bersama. Dengan banyak pertimbangan, pro dan kontra, berbagai masukan dari yang jauh sudah lebih dahulu mengalami kehidupan pernikahan, saran dari teman-teman dan juga para sesepuh, tak membuat kami urung melangsungkan pernikahan ini dan juga konsekuensi LDM yang telah kami sepakati. Lalu apakah hubungan Long Distance Marriage ini berjalan dengan mudah? Tentu tidak ya teman-teman. Namun aku dan suami sudah tahu bahwa jalan yang akan kami tempuh nantinya tidaklah mudah. Banyak sekali suara-suara yang dengan kencang mengatakan

“beneran nih mau langsung LDM habis nikah bgt, LDM nggak mudah lo, gimana kalo  di sana ada yang lain, gimana kalo dia punya cadangan, gimana bisa kuat, apalagi bule bule kan cantik-cantik di sana, ataupun sebaliknya”

Kembali lagi, bahwa masing-masing rumah tangga punya mimpi yang akan dicapai bersama. Aku dan Amri sama-sama bertemu disaat kami saling memperjuangkan mimpi kami masing-masing untuk melanjutkan studi, meskipun untuk saat ini ia telah lebih dahulu meraih  mimpinya sedang aku masih dan akan terus berjuang. Aku selalu berdo’a agar dimudahkan oleh Allah melalui cara terbaiknya di waktu yang tepat, seperti doaku sebelum bertemu teman hidup yang selalu aku doakan setiap detiknya. Dari mimpi bersama ini, yang membuatku yakin meskipun berat untuk menjalani LDM yang saat ini baru saja dan masih berlangsung. Aku yang sudah biasa hidup merantau ini, nyatanya masih saja menangis hehe. Walaupun saat mengantarkan Amri di bandara looks so fine, cuma gatau kenapa waktu pulang tiba-tiba sepi. Biasanya selalu ada temen makan, atau berantem karena hal-hal kecil yang sengaja aku permasalahkan untuk memancing emosinya, sekarang jadi hampa (asek). Yah gimanapun juga cerita ini akan selalu aku kenang dan kujadikan pelajaran di kemudian hari.

Ada beberapa figur disekitarku yang menjalankan LDM ini bertahun-tahun, dan meski jalan yang ditempuh terjal namun semua akan kembali indah pada waktunya. Kebanyakan dari mereka yang menjalankan pernikahan jarak jauh ini adalah untuk memperjuangkan sesuatu yang dianggap sangat penting untuk masa depan, entah karir, studi ataupun hal lain. Karna, setiap dari kita pasti memiliki mimpi-mimpi, dan tidak apa jika mimpi kita boleh jadi tidak sama dari kebanyakan orang atau pasangan. And it is totally okay.

Apapun itu, aku hanya bisa menggantungkan segala urusanku kepada Allah. Karena menikah adalah ibadah terpanjang, oleh karena itu jika saja ada hal-hal yang berpotensi menjadi variabel bebas dalam pernikahan, biarkan Allah yang menjaga mahkluknya. Aku tahu ini tidaklah mudah, namun Allah akan selalu dengan prasangka hambanya.

[mysmorgasbordoffantabulosa]

Two beings Jk love more than Tae is Bam & armys . I wonder, the Q&A which Jk did in his Golden live stage , how would he like to spend time with armys . I think he would really like to spend a day with army. Will he do the dingo variety show like Tae some day ? I wonder . He also said he will peel perilla leaves for amry which he was totally against in that debate 🤣

I think his relationship with ARMY is very different to the one he has with Bam and Tae.

For JK, and his fans, it isn't cheating. ARMY is JK's 'girlfriend' he's just not in a relationship with us.

COMMENTARY

Ben Shapiro LOSING HIS MIND Over TIm Walz The way Ben Shapiro describes him in these segments makes Tim Walz sound like Ronald Reagan, a Governor, avaucual,, down home foot ball coach, like Ron the Life Guard, he's a walking , talking Andy Hardy movie. Right out of the New Deal like Reagan, All those RINO's who want to restore the Party of Lincoln can vote Democrat once in their life this one time and clear the deck of the GOP of Prohect 2025  

The difference between DUtch and Tim is that Walz didn't play Command Sergeant Major on a movie lot, he was a CSM. There is nobody in Project 2025, little pepsqueks like Ben Shapiro and Rich Lowry up to mobsters like him, Except, of course, for the Project 2025 Amry NCOs and Officers are like Michael Flynn, All the Pro-Life chaplains have been pumping the Chiristian Nationalism theology of Project 2025 into the military community and is major factor in the elevated rate of suicides, 22/ay. of combat vets and young men who identify with Kurt Cobain, and are the engine of sexual assault inspired by the Total Depravity doctrine of Calvin,

  What you Progressives need to do is to explain to RINOs why piling onto the Harris/Walz DEI ZenVusiness Express into the Green New Deal, Biden/Harris/Walz is completing Reagan's New Federaalsim and Tayolr Swift and Beyonce are lanuching the global mobilization for the paradigm shfit of Stage 3 of Eisenhower's 1956 Presidential Platform.

  To a great degree, Eisehhower's 1956 Presidential Platform is a process to ttranform the Militaray Industrial Complex into Bernie Sander's social safety net, Because of George Marshall's reform of the General Staff with the addition of G5, the Army had a huge amount of data on how constitntion capitalism was healing the wounds in Europe ffrom 1900 years of lethal combat and he and his brain trust at Columbia University conceived of the process Eisenhower put into motion as a froce multiplier of Truman's desegregation of the Federal Government, usefully reversing Woodrow Wilson's Jim Crow bigotry that is considered revealed righteeousness in the PResbyterian Church, USA, particularly fans of Norman Vincet Peale's Prosperity Gospel, at the center of Project 2025.

  Do a review on your show with as a ZOOM discussion of the Buckley-Baldwin Cambridge Union debate in 1965, Baldwin represents the BLM/DEI/Truman de-Nazification of the federal government and Buckley represents Project 2025 and the original sin of the Presbyterian Chrus USA, Buckley's Negro Problem, This is another reason for RINO's to vote for Reagan's New Federalsim and Harris/Walz and Gen Z. Quit worring about the zero-sum politics of Ben Shapir and Project 2025 and promote the progressive captialism of the Starship Capitalism of 2001: A Space Odyssey of the Green New Deal set in motion by Eisehower's 1956 Presidential Platform, The only thing in the way since 1981 has been Project 2025.

Academic-Efficacy

Self-efficacy atau efikasi diri adalah salah satu konsep dari teori Bandura yang artinya keyakinan diri untuk mampu melakukan sesuatu hal secara spesifik. Kalau dikontekskan untuk siswa di sekolah ada academic-efficacy, yaitu keyakinan siswa untuk mampu menjalankan akademiknya dengan baik. Maksudnya, siswa percaya bahwa dirinya bisa melakukan hal-hal terkait kegiatan belajar, misal menguasai materi dan mengerjakan tugas dengan bagus.

Yang menarik, efikasi ini murni penilaian subjektif diri, bukan secara objektif. Jadi pake perasaan. "Aku ngerasa ga mampu.." atau "Aku yakin aku bisa." Jadi kayak mindset.

Kita butuh efikasi di level yang cukup supaya semangat ngerjain sesuatu. Kalau, efikasinya terlalu rendah kita bakalan ngerasa ga mampu menaklukan hal tersebut, sehingga udah pesimis duluan.. "yaampun itu susah banget, aku mana bisa ngelakuin hal tersebut.."

Jadi kalau academic-efficacy-nya lagi rendah gimana dong, buun?

Mastery experience/Inget pengalaman sukses

Kamu kan belajar bukan cuma setahun-dua tahun. Dari TK-SD-SMP-SMA-S1, total hampir 19 tahun! Selama 19 tahun itu, kamu nilainya (biidznillah) relatif aman.. trus kalau kamu belajar, kamu (biidznillah) bisa ngerti. Dulu yang paling membingungkan adalah ngerjain skripsi, yakan? Soalnya tugas individual project-based, jadi sering banget tersesat dengan langkah-langkahnya. Tapi.. udah selesai juga kan? Kayaknya kuncinya 1: kerjain dulu sampe kelar secepet-cepetnya, habis itu baru perbaiki. Gitu aja, siss!

2. Social modeling/Punya contoh sukses

Kalau emang bingung banget dengan tugasmu, yaudah tanya aja ke temen atau kakak tingkat.. Kan kamu bukan satu-satunya siswa, yeuuu. Kemarin inget kan, dapet insight bagus banget setelah nanya kak nadia. Yaudah sana, call a friend!

3. Social persuasion/Disemangatin orang lain

Ini mah udah gausah dijelasin lagi, ya. Kamu mau kemana aja juga sekitarmu seneng nyemangatin kamu. Kamu juga dapet afirmasi positif dari rewardmu kemarin. Paling utama, agamamu itu loh, cek coba di Al-Quran dan sirah, pasti kamu bakal nemu afirmasi-afirmasi. Misalnya, "Allah ciptakan manusia dalam bentuk sebaik-baiknya." Kan, masih mau ngomong kamu ga bisa?

4. Psychological response/Respon psikologis

Shofi.. Degdeganmu itu artinya kamu excited! Tugas-tugas ini bakal menjadi stimulus yang sangat baik buat ngembangin kapasitas otak dan kemampuan berpikirmu kan. Kamu excited dengan pembelajaran baru yang akan kamu terima. Oke, ada beberapa tugas yang malesin kayak baca biografi haha, tapi.. pas kamu udah lakuin, kamu semangat juga tuh?

Kalut kamu itu karena bersiap menembus belantara ilmu pengetahuan. Kamu bersiap dan bukannya tenang-tenang aja. So, it is a good thing :D

UMA SOLUÇÃO PARA O PARADOXO DE FERMI - TALVEZ OS ETS NÃO SE IMPORTAM COM...

VENHA FAZER A PÓS GRADUAÇÃO DE ASTRONOMIA DO SPACE TODAY: DETALHES: http://academyspace.com.br/ GRUPOS PARA TIRAR DÚVIDAS: https://spacetoday.com.br/semanapos O artigo, lançado no arXiv, foi escrito por Amri Wandel, do Instituto Racah de Física da Universidade Hebraica de Jerusalém. Ele faz duas suposições básicas. Primeiro, os alienígenas realmente não se importam com planetas com vida. Em segundo lugar, eles se importariam se pudessem detectar vida inteligente em um deles. Para que a primeira suposição seja válida, ajudaria se a ocorrência de planetas “bióticos” (ou seja, com biologia) fosse generalizada. Nesse caso, mesmo as civilizações avançadas podem não ter recursos suficientes para se dedicar à exploração completa desses planetas, especialmente na forma de uma sonda real. E enviar mensagens, que consomem muito menos energia do que enviar um objeto físico, é inútil se todas aquelas ondas de rádio apenas passarem por alguma forma de organismo unicelular primitivo. Os cientistas recentemente deram mais crédito a essa teoria, dada a preponderância de exoplanetas encontrados nas zonas habitáveis ​​de suas estrelas. Suponha que cada um deles desenvolva vida em algum ponto de sua evolução. Nesse caso, a galáxia pode estar tão repleta dela que não valeria a pena o tempo de civilizações avançadas para checar cada planeta biótico antes que ele desenvolva inteligência. No entanto, uma vez que um planeta desenvolveu inteligência, pode ser interessante para eles. A base do Paradoxo de Fermi é que não é particularmente fácil detectar vida inteligente. Portanto, é provavelmente relativamente raro na galáxia até agora. Portanto, qualquer instância disso pode ser interessante até mesmo para uma civilização avançada. Para detectar vida inteligente de longe, a coisa mais fácil para uma civilização avançada seria procurar sinais de rádio artificial ou outros sinais, semelhante ao que fazemos com o projeto Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Como seria se a situação fosse inversa e os alienígenas pudessem detectar sinais de inteligência na Terra? A resposta mais óbvia seriam os sinais de rádio que a Terra começou a enviar há cerca de 100 anos. Nesses 100 anos, os sinais teriam teoricamente alcançado as 15.000 estrelas mais próximas, mas apenas aqueles dentro de 50 anos-luz seriam capazes de enviar de volta qualquer coisa que tivéssemos visto. Esse raio inclui 1300 sistemas estelares no total, dos 100 a 400 bilhões de sistemas estelares da Via Láctea. Não muito para os padrões galácticos, mas ainda um número diferente de zero. No entanto, os cientistas do SETI acham que os sinais de rádio que enviamos, que foram mais um acidente de transmissão de televisão do que qualquer mecanismo de sinalização intencional, seriam indistinguíveis do ruído de fundo após cerca de um ano-luz de viagem. Portanto, mesmo naqueles 1300 sistemas estelares que poderiam ter respondido, há uma boa chance de que eles nem fossem capazes de detectar nossa assinatura tecnológica não intencional e ainda pudessem ignorar a vida inteligente neste planeta. E se a vida não inteligente é abundante, por que eles se incomodariam em gastar recursos para tentar entrar em contato com um mundo potencialmente não inteligente? Portanto, uma solução para o Paradoxo de Fermi – os alienígenas têm estado em silêncio até agora porque não viram nenhuma indicação de que somos inteligentes. É certamente uma solução elegante e que já foi apresentada de outras formas anteriormente. No entanto, o argumento é bem explicado no artigo de Wandel, que vale a pena ler para qualquer pessoa interessada em soluções para a potencialmente maior questão de nosso tempo.

El francés volvió a ser decisivo en un partido atascado para su equipo TOMÁS FERNÁNDEZ Nueva victoria del Al-Ittihad de Karim Benzema ante el Sfaixen (1-0) en el Campeonato de Clubes Árabes. El ex del Real Madrid debutó con el equipo árabe en la victoria de los suyos ante el Esperance de Túnez hace tres días, partido en el que anotó un gol y dio una asistencia, (y hoy ha vuelto a ser decisivo para su equipo). El reciente campeón de la Liga Árabe se medía a un Sfaixen que perdió en la primera jornada del torneo ante el Al Shorta iraquí. El partido parecía, a priori, más desequilibrado de lo que después se dio -al menos en la primera mitad-. La primera parte estuvo muy disputada entre ambos equipos hasta el minuto 20. Benzema avisó primero en el partido en el minuto 9 tras un buen disparo con la zurda desde fuera del área que se marchó fuera rozando el larguero. El Sfaxien quiso sorprender, y en su único acercamiento al área rival, generó peligro en una jugada en la que el defensa del Al-Ittihad Al Hawsawi estuvo correcto despejando de cabeza el centro que el conjunto tunecino había colocado. A partir del minuto 20, el dominio fue total por parte de los locales, que comenzaron a lanzar centros al área, aunque sin remate claro. La ocasión más clara la tuvo en sus botas Hamdallah. El atacante marroquí salió en una contra con el balón controlado y tras una buena carrera, lanzó un zapatazo al palo largo de la portería de Gaaloul, que hizo una gran estirada y la detuvo. Cerca del final de la primera parte hubo polémica. Hussein Ali le hizo una falta a Hamed, que cayó al suelo. Ali trató de evitar golpearle saltando por encima de él con la mala fortuna de pisarle la cara con los tacos. El árbitro, que le había sacado amarilla en primera instancia, fue llamado por el VAR y tras revisarlo decidió expulsar al '10' del Sfaixen. Benzema se zafa de varios rivales.Al-Ittihad Nuno Espírito Santo, entrenador del Al-Ittihad, no quedó muy contento con la primera mitad e introdujo tres cambios en el descanso. Entraron así Al-Farhan por Hamed, Bamsaud por Shanqeeti y Al-Olayan por Al-Amri. En el comienzo de la segunda mitad, el Al-Ittihad trató de anotar un gol pronto, pero una gran defensa del Sfaixen no se lo permitió. Tuvo que aparecer la magia de Karim Benzema para desatascar el partido en el minuto 62. Tras un rebote dentro del área que acabó con el balón en el aire, Hamdallah se quedó con el balón y se lo pasó de cabeza a Benzema. El francés sacó sus dotes de Balón de Oro, y con un buen giro de cadera y un tiro raso potente puso el balón en el fondo de la red. Eso sí, tocó el palo antes de entrar. Tras el gol, el Al-Ittihad continuó el con el dominio del encuentro encerrando a su rival, que poco pudo hacer y perdía el balón en muy poco tiempo tras recuperarlo. No pudieron ampliar la ventaja los campeones de Arabia Saudí ante un rival que se quedó con nueve jugadores al final del partido tras la expulsión de Conté al recibir la segunda amarilla en el minuto 84. Karim Benzema ya pone el nombre del Al-Ittihad en el punto de mira y sigue sin perder esa esencia que empezó a demostrar desde muy joven en el Olympique de Lyon y, posteriormente, en el Real Madrid.   Para recibir en tu celular esta y otras informaciones, únete a nuestras redes sociales, síguenos en Instagram, Twitter y Facebook como @DiarioElPepazo El Pepazo/Marca

Since we'll probably never get to see Amri as a puppet, might as well turn him into a 3d model ;)

I'm no where finished yet, but alas

[bocceclub]

awful warlock named Amris. he was a total nobody who died in a freak accident and wound up getting resurrected by an old god for purposes unknown. needless to say he is not very happy about it.

(also he’s trans, he got an eldritch transition boost along with his new powers lol)

Flames of the Dark Crystal liveblog pt 31-32 FINAL

Flames of the Dark Crystal by J.M. Lee because the last two chapters are really short so I’m going to knock them out at once rather than have just one post next week!

Last times in book: The fires of resistance are lit, the Gelfling clans are united, Thra has provided a prophecy of Gelfling’s ultimate victory over the Skeksis, and the Skeksis have run away to hide in the Castle of the Crystal. In the aftermath of the battle, the Gelfling recover, pay respects to the dead, and make plans for the future. After Naia confirms that Amri is as interested in their romance subplot as she is, she heads off to find Kylan.

Chapter 31

Goodbyes.

The wall with the five figures was in the center of the ruins, out of sight from the campfires that flickered along the perimeter. The stench of the battle with the Skeksis had cooled, replaced by the indigo scent of the night and starlight. Naia followed the orange glow of a torch, finding Kylan kneeling at the base of the wall, clearing away vines and recording the figures on the wall in his book.

“Kylan. There you are!” She crouched beside him, nodding a second hello to the crystal spider on his shoulder, shining in the light of the clear sky. “And Tavra.”

“The etchings go on for what seems like forever,” Kylan said. He sighed and looked into the pages of his book. “I’m never going to be able to record them all. Especially not if we’re leaving in the morning. We may know the final outcome, but we can’t deny that hard times are yet to come. For all of us. The Skeksis may try to destroy the wall. The song of prophecy must be preserved. But...”

Apparently when Thra gets talking, its a chatty planet.

The iconic prophecy about what was sundered and undone? That’s a small, small part of the total amount of text that spontaneously burst into existence at the end of the battle.

I wonder what it all says.

Naia recognizes that Kylan is connected to all this prophecy somehow. And, I mean, he was the impetus. Showed up and tooted on his firca and gave Naia the idea of a plot resolving sing a long. Plus, his firca is a super magical one that resonates with the Crystal.

Given all that, Naia tells Kylan that he should just stay in Stone-in-the-Wood and study the lore as much as he needs to.

It’d be too dangerous for a full clan to stay here but a couple Gelflilng shouldn’t be a problem. Especially since Kylan is familiar with the area now.

Tavra offers to stay with him and volunteers Onica to stay as well. Although, to be fair, she mentions that Onica is drawn to the etchings like Kylan is.

Kylan asks Naia if she’s sure and she says she is, like a liar.

Naia laughed to hide the opposite feeling that was burrowing in her chest. Even deciding Gurjin and Rian would go to the castle hadn’t felt like a farewell. Not really, and certainly not like this. Naia wasn’t sure the time would ever feel right to say farewell to Kylan of Sami Thicket. Her friend the song teller.

;__;

I’m feeling feelings.

Writing down the prophecy is just one part of the task Kylan would be taking on as best prophecy boy. After that, he’ll need to decipher and interpret it with Onica’s help.

Naia even suggests that after they’re done in Stone-in-the-Wood, for them to visit the Valley of the Mystics and get the urRu’s insight on any parts they can’t figure out.

Being best prophecy boy is a full time job and Naia doesn’t know when she’d see him again.

But its him becoming his best boy best self. Definitely the greatest song teller since Gyr.

TANGENT: during this scene, Kylan holds his bell-bird firca and the narration notes that resonating with the crystal has scorched the bone a clay or earthlike shade unlike the bone white color it had before what with being made of bone.

The implication being that this is the firca that Jen eventually has and its why the Crystal Shard resonates with it.

I’d personally prefer if any firca could have done what Jen done did in the movie, provided the Gelfling play the right note.

But this isn’t an establishing movie thing and implying bad thing for prequel character thing like Rian and Gurjin’s mission with the shard.

Kylan is already going to the valley. Maybe he leaves his firca with urLii or urSu for safe-keeping.

And from there, Jen gets it.

Also tangent: Tavra doesn’t mention Tae staying with Team Prophecy so I guess that answers my question about her and Tavra’s deal.

Anyway.

“I’ll make sure one day all Gelfling know the song of how we endured the Skeksis. Forged the prophecy and healed the Crystal. And in that song, your name will ring. As will Rian’s and Gurjin’s. Tavra’s and Onica’s and Amri’s.

“And yours,” Naia said, tears pricking her eyes. She tried to capture his face in her memory. The path ahead was unsure and uneven, and even though the Gelfling were united in spirit, there was still distance between them. It was likely it would be a long time before they saw each other again.

Kylan chuckled. “Don’t be silly. It’s poor taste for a song teller to insert himself as a hero in his own song... I’m glad to have met you, Naia.”

“Same, Song Teller,” she said, and wrapped him in another hug that she hoped could last until the next time they met.

;__; Frens.

Chapter 32

Morning came softly and quietly.

Naia woke to the smell of the fires being put out, the gentle murmuring of the Gelfling saying their goodbyes to one another. It was time to leave.

Dang.

I know its not safe or enjoyable to hang out in the ruins of the village that the Skeksis destroyed but I thought that the great Gelfling gathering would last longer than that.

And if they take the plan to relocate the clans to swamp, ocean, and desert, there’s probably not going to be another great gathering for a while. Traveling is going to be dangerous.

Oh and apparently Aughra just ghosted the Gelfling at some point. Just took off without saying goodbye.

That tracks.

Naia speculates that she has her own work to do.

Rian and Gurjin head off for their crystal shard mission.

Since Gurjin is about as good at goodbyes as Naia, instead of hugging her, he punches her in the arm. Just refusing to acknowledge that they might not see each other again. And since she’s about as bad at goodbyes as Gurjin, Naia socks him right back.

Ah. Siblings.

Naia gets on a Landstrider with Amri and sets off with a group of other Landstridered Gelfling swampward.

“I’ve been thinking,” Amri said suddenly. “Do you remember what skekZok said, back in skekSa’s ship? About how our descendants might not know the names of the clans?”

“Yeah?”

“Well, take a look around. Maybe he was right.”

Gelfling surrounded them. On foot and some on Landstriders, the Drenchen and the Spriton and the Stonewood. There were even some Sifa and Dousan with them, and silver-haired Gelfling, though whether they were Grottan or Vapra, Naia couldn’t tell from the lofty saddle of her mount.

It didn’t matter, anyway. They were one clan, now. No matter what else happened, that was something the Skeksis could never take away from them.

One clan. And some of them have gills but that’s alright.

With the Sog ahead of them, Naia feels that even though she’s going home, it’s like she’s stepping into a brand-new world she’s never been to.

“It is new,” Amri said. “It’s new every morning. It’s only our memory that ties us to yesterday. Everything else is different every time the suns come up.”

Naia closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the three suns as they brightened across her face. She took in the moment, the fresh air across her shoulders. Amri nearby, holding her waist. The Gelfling waiting below and all around. Listening for her signal.

To continue. To go on. To survive.

She opened her eyes. Kicked her heels and whistled, letting the moment pass as her Landstrider raced first into the awakening day.

How far Naia has come. She went there and back again and there and back again.

I really loved this book series!

Sure, it wasn’t perfect. I still think the final battle feels tacked on after the natural climax of the book. I wish the Arathim had gotten something like they got in the show.

But the characters, the expansions on the Dark Crystal setting and lore, each Gelfling clan getting some time in the spotlight, the creative places the plot went. It was a trip I’m glad I took.

Now to be sad that I ran out of Dark Crystal things to read.

Saaaaaaaaaad.

[skullvins]

Got another Army hc for ya!

So I was thinking about those elaborate illustrations that explorers do of like wildife and stuff, and then I thought, "hey, what if Amry did that?"

What if he likes to go out and observe all the wildlife and draw it in one of his manuals? I hc he really likes nature and perhaps he likes to sit outside and paint landscapes. Maybe he also likes to draw random people on the street to hone his drawing skills. He would have separate manuals for this of course. Plus it shows he has a softer side and a passion outside of turf.

On an unrelated note, I hc Aloha and the pink team like to roller skate

OK BUT I LOVE THIS????

I can totally see army doing landscapes and weapon sketches, tbh, but struggling to draw people? I feel like he would have a very technical and mechanical approach, and the soul of his work really shines through when he can take advantage of that

pink team roller skating is hilarious and completely in character. it's honestly really neat to think of hobbies the s4 teams might do together: I think purple team is the exception, due to their relationship being less personal, especially pre blue team, but due to my shipping hcs (stitch/paisley and qp skull/avi) I actually imagine they have plenty of double date kinda moments
