HI CRITTERS

Today was good! I got to hang out with my sister, ate big food, and went shopping and got a new stuffy (her name is Gwen) I got my new favorite pair of pants, and have acquired cute undergarments first time since my transistion!

I talked to my mom about why she feels weird about my presentation with animality, and I’m realizing that she gets truama responses from me that go back to her trauma from her mom. And I get truma responses with her that go back to like large societal root issues.

I also kinda maybe prolly have bipolar, I’m gonna get tested but that would explain the mania and depression back to back very often! We’ll see, I think that working with it will help but my sisters worried for me cuase she has bipolar and it’s really traumatic and rough for her.

I’m back home, and it’s, all the same, and all different, idk how to feel. It’s nice, I’m realizing how stressful just being at school is.

Sorry for the bald pic, my mom said no gear at home, so I guess this is a “not dogged up” zith reveal! I feel a little bald but it’s alright!

It gets better everyone, it always will

Run fast, bite hard, bark loud

Peace, love, and gratitude

Oh yeah! Since I have no clue if/when I'm ever finishing these and I've had them laying around for forever by now- here's the adult IT metaverse outfits I've made! They're all based on their ultimate personas and the concept of heros! Since these were made for an aged up p4 cast, these aren't quite what I'd put their during p4 time selves in- some changing more then others- but if you wanna follow me into design details, that'll all be under the cut!

First off to get em out of the way- Teddie is very largely the same as his p4 time metaverse outfit I made for him back here . The design is still meant to be inspired by magical girls, but the biggest change is that while the old one was meant to look like a magical girl protagonists outfit, this one I tried to lean a bit more into the older/more experienced cast member of the magical girl group type design. Overall a pretty minor change (and I will admit, largely because I'm still incredibly happy with that old design) but it felt fitting!

Chie and Yukiko were, as always when I work on them, designed to match. Their masks specifically mirror eachother with the opposites sides sticking out, and they both have a golden dragon pattern on their clothes as a reference to the twin dragons move! Chie was... honestly one where I had to sacrifice my goals a bit. Like mentioned before, these were meant specifically for an aged up cast. And while p4 era Chie I would absolutely imagine in a kung fu Chung-Li type outfit, we know what a more mature version of her action hero dreams look like; the police! And I.... really did not want to put her in a cop outfit, Ill be real. Instead I just tried focusing on making the outfit look more mature. Also tried to combine a practical and strong look with a more feminine aesthetic, since she struggles pretty badly with her femininity in p4 and I like to think she'd grow more comfortable with her own brand of it over time!

Yukiko is perhaps one of the most drastic one for changes compared to her younger self- if you asked me to design a p4 era outfit for her, it would look nothing like this, hah. Anyways, she's definitely inspired by onna-musha! Compared to Tomoe who was a full on commander of an army going out there, for Yukiko the idea was more the women taking up arms to protect their home when the battle comes their way. Fully having embraced the role she has as the next owner of the Amagi Inn and the responsibility and want to protect it, it's meant to be somewhat of an outing of that!

Fun fact: She has two color schemes! Because uhh I did not know what to go for at all. Her ultimate persona is like a single solid color and I kind of panicked and just ended up winging the colorscheme. One is more red since, y'know, thats her color! The other is more white gold to match her actual persona better. Included at the end of this post for the curious

Rise was based on a greek goddess- though not any particular one, moreso how they're commonly depicteed in art and old statues. Pretty, holy, someone you'd go to for advice and help (someone just out of reach from the general public) It just felt like a good combination of something she'd like to be seen as and percieved as as well. She gets two outfits- for scan and fight mode! Kouzeon has no canon fight mode, thats just for Himiko, but man it exists in my heart. The transistion between the two is literally just her throwing off the long overskirt, hah.

How does her mask work? Excellent question. The p5 idea of having it there when vibing but gone when the persona is out feels a little awkward when her persona's whole thing is putting a visor over her face. Quite frankly I have no idea. Sorry folks. Have all concept sketches for the outfits I've done as compensation with a bonus Noot in there that I never continued on and finished.

ASTRO RELATED

As much as I love astrology, I am not well-versed in transits… Although I’ll say this past weeks full moon conjunct Pluto in Capricorn… made me feel things w/ such intensity ; I rlly had a hard time putting it into words & I’ve had my fair share of plutonic experiences.. Pluto is my 2nd dominant in my BC (actually it’s neck n neck w/Jupiter, Jupiter just is my chart ruler) but THIS?!?! This was such a level of intensity even for ME that, I had to disappear for a few days after.. I had levels of anger that I couldn’t put into words… like, all I wanted to do was cry but.. I couldn’t cause that was something I cut off from urs ago & it doesn’t come as easily anymore so… I just went to anger…like.. I wasn’t being heard & wanted to go to the only thing that gets me heard in some cases..

And that fking SUCKS! I don’t wanna be there… but yet… there’s ppl in my life I HAVE to deal with & that’s the ONLY WAY they even *hear* those boundaries/concerns.. let alone fkin listen!

I feel like there’s some RLLY heavy karmic stuff coming up specially at work & home..

Liek I said.. I’m use to heavy energy but… this even caught me off guard. I’ve been trying to find a reading but alotta ppl I know are booked. If someone can help just give me some clarity; any clarity on how this transit could be affecting me & how I can help resolve any of these karmic patterns if THATS what’s going on.. I would RLLY appreciate it 💗

(Looking back at this I’m wondering… was *all* of that rlly Lilith?!?

JEUSS that would make SO MUCH SENSE.. i’ve been doing a lot of shadow work, although I do find a lot of these situations repeating themselves but is there anything outside of that?? (I’m the inner wheel; transist for Sat are outer)

💗 so much love💗

Thanks to all of you who took the time to read💗

Even if u don’t have any insight but find urself struggling w/ Lilith , libra lilith, 11H lilith or Venus Pluto conjunct, 11H Pluto/venus scorp /cap:. I would love to hear from u/how y’all are doing 💗

Life changing planetary transist of 2023 ..

The two most important Transits that is happening right now is North node in pieces, south node in Virgo, Saturn going direct in Aquarius which is going to change the fate human beings and the whole world.

North node and south node transist start form 30Oct 2023 and continue for 18months.

Rahu or North node in pieces which is realm of libration and completion and spirituality will expand you and push you to perform in that area.

Ketu or south node is very sharp and dry planet so wherever it sits, it detaches you and dry that house.

Now, wherever your pieces is falling in your chart, you will experience sudden burst of energy and pull to perform, and increased desire to gain status.

Opposite to it, where ever your Virgo is falling you will experience sudden detachement, emotional dry and carelessness to that house.

You need to surrender here and accept things as they are, and try not to fight.

Then this transition would be fruitful and could give you lot of gains and knowledge at the end .

Virgo first house, face identity crisis.

Second house detachement from your family

Third house problems in communication

Fourth house emotional damage, detachement from mother land and mother and house.

Fifth house detachement from kids, status, and reputation.

Eleventh house will detach you from your friends, and social media.

Twelfth house, you are ready to let go and move towards liberation. Ketu is exalted in twelfth house.

Pieces in first house, work on your identity

Second house, for family and family saving.

Third house on your communication and for sibblings.

Fourth house, you will get desire to get new home or car

Fifth house for your status and reputation.

Sixth house to destroy your enimies.

Seventh house, for make business partnerships and relationship and for marriage.

Eighth house, for liberation and for occult .

Ninth house, you will be leaving your religion or refuse to follow rules of religion.

Tenth house, good because you will experience expansion in your work .

Eleventh house best as you will get multiple source of income and good network.

Twelfth house, is tricky rahu here, will give you desire for spirituality but to fulfill your own desires.

Saturn is representaation of time, wherever Aquarius is in your chart you have to work on it ,

Otherwise Saturn Transit trouble you.

It will make its move to Aquarius sign on 4nov 2023 and will stay there for till March 2025 for two years.

These two years would decide the theme of your life and you to work on it to avoid the wrath of saturn

This is very positive transition and if you focus the area of life where Saturn is transiting you will gain greatly from it that no other planet could give you.

This is the house if let go, Saturn has one work here to liberate you from past life burdens and karmic relationships.

The Secrets of The Secret Room: KH2's Hidden Boss Arena as a Future Plot Point.

Anyone remember that Secret Room in KH2? The FRUSTRATINGLY difficult-to-reach one within the basement caves of Ansem's Castle? The one that lets you fight Data copies of the Organization XIII members? THAT Secret Room?

KH2's "Garden of Assemblage", GIF by superbia (nokuto.tumblr)

Well, what if we look at KH as a series and its LOVE for hiding plot within gameplay mechanics... and look at that Secret Room again after the Lore Bombs from KHUX & KH3?

The KH series LOVES to "hide" lore & plot foreshadowing within game mechanics: the different/same coloured dream portals in DDD & KH3, the "reset" levels in each game, Anti-Sora and Rage Form...

i wonder who, exactly, set up that Data Combat Record of Organization XIII members?

the easiest candidate is DiZ: he has the means, motive & opportunity to have set something like that up (know your enemy).

it's also plausible that Saïx set it up for Axel, a means of preparing him for assassinations but it doesn't make much sense given that Axel would need that combat data BEFORE he fought his targets while the Data Room only has those 'records' AFTER targets are defeated.

Xehanort is another candidate, perhaps setting the system up in order to have Data Copies of the Organization to fall back on for Future Use (no time travel required!). it WOULD be easier to put a Data Copy into a Replika than trying to locate, say, Lauriam or Arlene (who he only seemed to meet through Xigbar) upon their recompletion.

There's also That Looming Option of Darkness.

Darkness, getting one (or more) of the above characters to set this room up, ultimately for ITS use: Darkness seemingly needs 13 Vessels in its Game with MoM and, going with Sleeping Realm Theory, KH3 DID seem to imply that Data Riku & Young Master Xehanort were not only working for (or with) Darkness but were investigating how Hearts & darkness interacted with DATA.

KH's Primordial Darkness IS canonically tech-savvy: the Secret Room of Data Organization XIII fits EXACTLY within its modus operandi.

it's not JUST Darkness who knows of/discovered this Secret Room, however: Sora & Team Guardians of Light did too.

KH3 somewhat implies that Ienzo and Even learned of the Secret Room after being recompleted: it's probably what they were referencing when trying to set Xion & Roxas up in Replika bodies.

If Roxas is now made up of himself AND his Data Copies (from Data Twilight Down & the Secret Room)... it solves the issue of his dual-wielding keyblades despite no longer having 2 "real" Hearts to source them from.

I don't think that either of these Data Roxases would feel a need to have their own Replika bodies: Axel's Nobody formed a Heart but it integrated with his "recompleted" self without issue, just as all these Roxases would. These Hearts can merge or otherwise exist alongside each other without any issue because they share the same "Soul" (or, at least, there are no conflicting memories within their Timelines).

Xehanort did not seem much affected by Xemnas seemingly forming a Heart either: the "lived time" of Xemnas simply went back to Xehanort (& if the transistion WASN'T so seamless... it's not like he would care & he ended up Time Travelling Xemnas before any conflicts of heart could arise anyway).

Terra, on the other hand... well, Xemnas got the Fixation with Aqua's Armour from SOMEONE.

Back to That Secret Room...

my munny's on Darkness bringing that Data Organization XIII back into play at some point, if only to allow more Hidden Boss Gameplay post-KH3 for the purposes of "strengthening" the Darkness within its vessels.

It makes me wonder if the "Demyx" met during KH3 was actually a "Data Demyx": he and Luxord do not seem native to [this side of] "Reality" but to the home of Nameless Star, going by the Verum Rex trailer in Toy Box & the Secret Ending(s) of KH3.

the premise where DiZ or Xehanort sets up the Data Organization for further study, only for it to get used by Darkness could just as easily apply to XIGBAR/Luxu for MoM but... Darkness is the entity with the greater connection to Data Hearts so, regardless of WHO this Secret Room was set up by, it's probably Darkness who'll bring that game mechanic into the future of KH's Story.

Sounds like you been through some major changes this year, my boo 👻 What's up?

Personally dealing with the transistion from uni to work life and gurl, it's a lot! 😅🙈

Uni is college in places other than the USA, right? Like University? If that's the case, that's a really challenging transition! I hope you're doing well.

It's been really wild, but in short: my sister is a disaster human, I'm now a foster mom of her kid, new angry 11 yo, new job, new home, new routines. It's been a lot to ajust.

Thanks for reaching out!

[blueredlover]

I disagree with drag shows for those who are underage to attend. I disagree with medical transistion for those who can't legally sign the forms themselves. I disagree with medical transistion without at least 6 months to a year of therapy to discuss what transitioning will mean for each person, including surgical options. I am perfectly fine with legal adults engaging in things such as crossdressing and medically transistioning, if you and your therapist decide it's the right choice for you.

I don't want to see a 24 year old detransisitioner commit suicide because they thought they were female at the age of 12 and can't get an erection because of 4 years of puberty blockers and estrogen. I don't want to hear about a 17 year old ftm transistioner who commits suicide, because they were depressed and thought that transisitioning was their way forward.

I don't support either the government in banning adults who want to live their lives as they choose, but I also don't support the larger LGBT+ movement that is being wielded as a cudgel against the traditional family by corporations. I can't support someone who makes their entire personality around what they were, what they are becoming, or who they choose to sleep with. I literally don't care, as long as what you choose to do is freely chosen.

This is what both sides ignore. Most people don't care what you chose to do, so long as it is chosen freely. I just don't want to see people be groomed to believe that they need to change their gender, nor do I want to see people commit suicide (be it assisted or not) as a result of such a thing.

I can't stop people from doing what makes them happy, but we do need to slow things down when it comes to children being exposed to things such as drag shows at the age of 7 and transistitioning before they are even allowed to legally vote. I know most of you don't like Jordan Peterson, but this interview with a detransistioner hit close to home for me, and I hope that I will help you understand why I can't support children getting medical transistions before they can legally sign the forms themselves.

I'm so tired of cis people asking stuff like, "Why would Texas want a list of trans people who legally changed their names?" or "Why would Florida want a list of college students who have seeking gender affirming care? We can't figure it out."

It's eliminationist.

Ken Paxton wants a list of trans people who have changed their name in Texas so he can reverse all of those decisions (and that's the most charitable interpretation). Ron DeSantis wants a list of college students who have seeked affirming care so he can force them to detransition.

Oklahoma introduced a bill to forcibly detransition people under the age of 21 (ironically doing what they accuse us of doing, forcing someone to live as the wrong gender). Texas has a new bill that will ban gender affirming care for every Texan of any age and makes it a felony for doctors to provide it. Multiple states either have passed or will pass bills that will ban legal name changes. Some states have slipped in language to anti-drag bills (which are horrific enough on their own) that ban anyone from displaying, presenting, or dressing outside their "biological" gender (one state has language about "DNA gender") in public.

It's about legally and morally mandating trans people out of existence.

Plain and simple. It's about making sure that trans people can not exist. Period. It's not about restrictions, or "think of the children!" It's about eliminating us from public life and then eliminating us from private life so that we have a choice of either die or conform.

When will y'all realize this isn't some wedge issue or a political football that they'll just give up on if they lose an election or two. These are ideologues who are singularly focused. They don't care about the marketplace of ideas. They don't give a shit if they get mocked on lefty Twitter and the late night shows. They only care about one thing: gaining and then wielding power to achieve their goal of eliminating trans people (and then gay people, and then women who don't conform to their gender standards, ect).

If you give them that power they will use it.

Post Planet Delivery DevLog #1

There were many issues with the base game that I wanted to fix. These fixes would also turn my game into a fully functioning game instead of a scene where you dodge some asteroids.

The first fix was to create a scene for the beginning of the game. This home page was quite easy to make but for some extra polish I proggramed the player's ship to roam around inside of the camera's view. Alongside this, the camera will slowly pan between two planets.

The programming behind this home screen was very easy because it involved panning the camera back and forward and using the boids movement feature on the player ship to create a working AI.

To finish the game loop I also impelented a game over screen that will pop up once the player's health is below 0. This however, was not created in a new scene but instead was developed using the layers feature in GDevelop. Once the player has died the layer the game over screen is on will enable and the game will pause. This allowed me to have a semi-transparent black screen that smoothly transistions from gameplay to the game over screen.

My final change for this development post is the character controller. I didn't like the way the player would automatically move forward towards the mouse. It didn't feel like the player was in space and broke the immersion. To fix this the player will only move forward once they're pressing the "w" key. If not players will keep their momentum but they are free to rotate and aim. This new controller felt more like space.

Players can now look and move backwards instead of running into oncomning enemies.

Speaking to people who have lived in the PNW for more than 30 years, I've noted the following:

You never had a winter without snow, even a little bit. Now it's like one day of snow at best and some years you don't see a single flake stay longer than a few hours.

Summers never went above 80 for the most part. You might get a few days of 80-90 degrees, but that was it. Now we're getting 95 degree days for weeks on end, not to mention the fact that just a couple years ago, we had a spat of 110 degree days that never got under 90 until nightfall. A heatwave so bad, the cables for PDX transist actually melted or snapped, mussels where boiled alive in their shells, and hawk chicks jumped out of their nests in a desperate bid to cool off. People died in their homes because there just isn't a lot of places with ac units in them. We now have to run cooling sites every summer, because people keep dying of heat related illnesses constantly. Hot summers with 90 degree heat never was a thing 30 years ago when most of these buildings were built.

In addition, we now have a wildfire season, though unlike California, Oregon's is usually in the summer and early fall. Even then, you'll get clouds of smoke and ash descending into downtown metro areas, making it super hazardous to go out even for simple tasks.

Ice storms are supposed to be a twice in 20 years kind of deal, but have become more and more of a thing that happens commonly. Quite frankly would like the snow more than ice.

Recently we had a hot Christmas. It was 75 degrees. On Christmas. In the middle of a month were the average highs are 40.
