Here it comes! My super long, super overdue “Ivy is Yvette” theory post! (Below the cut, with photos and everything!)

Alright so this is a theory post about a character from the webcomic Never Satisfied by Taylor Robin. There are about to be MAD spoilers for the entirety of the comic so if you aren’t up to date with the comic then I don’t advise reading this! So we all know and love Ivy, the “familiar” of the protagonist Lucy Marlowe! How could you not love this face??

As the comic progresses we’re starting to learn more about Lucy’s vague past. Like how they used to be the child of Fidelia and Antoine who was at some point made to live on the streets with a younger Tobi and Su-Yeong, ultimately leading to them being taken in by Joe Rothart and “Dr. Malliet” who has been presumed dead by most up until this point.

But that’s not the can of worms I’m trying to get into right NOW so we’ll come back to that later!

We surprisingly have learned a LOT about Ivy during this comic. A lot more than we have about any other familiar, which we could write off as natural since she’s the protagonists main companion. On the other hand, nearly HALF of the comic has been spent viewing the lives of various other characters and we haven’t gotten nearly as personal with any other familiar compared to Ivy.

So let’s cover what we know about Ivy! She is a lovely white cat with unnaturally blue eyes... Every other familiar in the series has had normal eye coloration. Not even when they’re being used as a visual conduit by their magician, like we see Joe do with Romeo.

So then why are Ivy’s eyes... Like That???

It’s difficult to write it off as a stylistic choice, since Ivy is literally the only animal, let alone the only familiar, with eyes like this. We even see that Isra owns a normal PET cat with two black dots for eyes.

In Never Satisfied, eye color is often indicative of an individual’s magical alignment. Every magic user we’ve seen has had an eye color that matches the color of magic that they use.

We KNOW this isn’t a coincidence because of individuals with unnatural eye colors as well as the fact that Ana’s eyes change their color completely when she loses her magic!

There’s more connections to eye color and magic though. When we meet Su-Yeong, a husk, we learn that Husks are most noticeable in their first stage due to their eyes.

Eyes that are glowing, with magically colored scleras instead of pupils....

..... Huh.

So, even if Ivy ISN’T a husk we can at least agree that she’s a magical anomaly. She’s unlike any familiar we’ve seen. She even said it herself!

In fact, she even makes it sound like she’s not a familiar at all..... Like she’s a person........ Wait a minute.............

In this scene Ivy is telling Lucy that she won’t be going with them to compete because she is THIERRY’S familiar, not Lucy’s.

But.... we KNOW that’s not true because Thierry is a HUSK and husks don’t HAVE familiars!

In fact, Ivy’s relationship with PIPER the frog we’ve seen subtly placed in the background of scenes before has more of a familiar relationship to Ivy then Ivy does with any human she’s been with.

It’s been established that magician’s can look through their familiars eyes, as pictured earlier with Joe looking through Romeo.

In chapter 7 we see Ivy doing the same thing with Piper!

Now that I’ve established that Ivy very obviously is NOT a CAT, or at the very least not a NORMAL cat, let’s get into why I think she’s Yvette!

The easiest thing to cover is the shade of magic shared between the two. The silhouette of Yvette we see is dressed in a light blue. Ivy is seen using light blue magic against Su-Yeong.

Now of course that isn’t conclusive evidence since January, Joe, Thierry, and a few other characters we’ve seen ALSO have blue magic. It’s not uncommon. So let’s get into more of what little information we have on Yvette and work back from there.

Yvette was the representative before the story began. She was seemingly mentored by Fidelia and went “missing” some unspecified amount of time ago.

Now that’s not a lot to work with I know but TRUST me.

Yvette was mentored by Fidelia who we’ve come to learn a lot about recently. Fidelia has been shown as manipulative, overbearing, and power-hungry.

The way she speaks about Yvette shows that she held no real attachment to her, she just viewed her as another puppet to control behind the scenes.

In Fidelia’s original speech to January she talks about her experience with the guard. Glorifying January’s “heroism” in an attempt to flatter her. In fact, it seems like Yvette ALSO apprenticed with the guard, since Joe seems to know her well enough.

And at the end of her dialog with January, Fidelia speaks to her familiar about how January is “perfect” for what she needs. Easily controllable. Then ends the scene by stating the following,

...... Incredibly ominous, I agree.

Now looking back at everything Fidelia has said about Yvette we can conclude that she was heavily manipulated by Fidelia.

Yvette suddenly “disappearing” seems less and less likely the deeper we dig. It makes sense that Yvette could have recognized what Fidelia was doing and ran away. It also seems probable that Fidelia has no more use of Yvette and “disposed” of her...

But the way Fidelia talks about Yvette seems to indicate that she’s at least a BIT mournful of the loss of Yvette. So while Fidelia COULD have done something to Yvette it makes the most sense that she would have kept her around as long as physically possible.

So maybe Yvette DID just run away when she realized she was being treated cruelly.

Now we know that Yvette and Fidelia had an abusive relationship but what does that have to do with Ivy?

Well, Ivy has never directly interacted with Fidelia but she has indicated how she feels about the woman once before. When Lucy first went missing and the seeker stones where flying around town.

The way that this is phrased makes it clear that Ivy knows that only one person is looking through these seeker stones for Lucy, and that person is Fidelia.

Why would Ivy be so afraid of being spotted by Fidelia if they’ve never interacted before? It makes no sense! Of course there’s the possibility that Fidelia could capture Ivy and question her relationship with Lucy but Ivy really isn’t Lucy’s familiar and she doesn’t know where Lucy is. She would be of NO help to Fidelia’s search. Then even if she thinks she might be questioned, it doesn’t explain why Ivy knows that Fidelia is the one looking?

Maybe it’s because she’s afraid that Fidelia will take her back. If she really is Yvette, and Yvette really did run away to hide from Fidelia then it makes more sense. Yvette ran, Fidelia wants her back to use her, and Yvette is scared of being caught.

A few pages before the seeker stones are shown, Ivy even directly states that she’s on the run!

From what, we don’t really know, but if Yvette is on the run and so is Ivy it’s certainly a strange pile of coincidences.

The last issue I wanted to cover is Ivy’s relationship with Thierry and Yvette’s apparent relationship with the Rotharts.

Now we already know the “Dr. Malliet” is actually Thierry Rothart who became a husk and faked his own death. We know that Lucy Marlowe was actually originally Morgan, a child under the direct care of Joe and Thierry, who was also presumed to be dead.

Lucy and Thierry being together just makes sense. Thierry became a husk and burned down their house, panicked for whatever reason, fled with the incredibly ill Morgan, and when it turned out that Morgan had lost their memories they became Lucien and Thierry became “Rothart”.

So then, where the hell did Ivy come from? She’s not anyone’s familiar and it’s clear that no one else we’ve encountered has recognized her beyond her connection to Lucy.

If Ivy was with Dr. Malliet and Morgan before they “died” then surely Isra or Neith would have recognized her? It makes sense that they wouldn’t see the face of Morgan (a supposedly dead 12 year old) in the face of Lucy (a super alive 17 year old) but I find it hard to believe that they wouldn’t piece together a very distinct magical cat with unnatural blue eyes.

Except, it’s clear that Ivy and Thierry have a close emotional connection! Thierry has shown more compassion for Ivy than he has for Lucy who is his own child. He even remains non-violent with her despite being so overwhelmed by his own aggressive husk nature

So when exactly did Ivy join the duo??

Maybe she had been there all along.... just with a different name and a different body?

.............. Okay so I know french names aren’t ENTIRELY uncommon in this comic but hear me out.

Both of them have lighter blue magic, while this isn’t concrete proof that they’re related, having magic of the same shade has been narratively indicative of familial relationships in this comic MULTIPLE times.

Sylas and his father Antoine both have purple magic.

Seiji and his mother Rin both have red magic.

January and her uncle Joe both have blue magic.

Ana and her grandmother both had red magic.

Even the fact that Emilia had pink magic while neither her father or “mother” did was hinting at the fact that Emilia’s birth mother was actually FIDELIA.

The same concept was used to show a relationship between Lucy and Fidelia! When Lucy flash-backed to a younger age and Thierry was trying to get them to use a spinel to focus their magic, it clearly showed that their magic used to be pink.

Thierry and Yvette being RELATED could explain why Joe was speaking so fondly about Yvette. Maybe she was even the reason he met Thierry in the first place!

A younger Yvette apprenticing with the guard, befriending a young officer Joe, and ultimately introducing him to her older brother seems possible.

It would also explain why Ivy was so willing to defend Thierry to Lucy up until Lucy ran away! She didn’t want to abandon her family but when she saw that Thierry was treating Lucy how she was treated by Fidelia before she ran away, she realized she had made a mistake.

Also! It’s kinda cute to imagine “Ivy” being a nickname Thierry gave to Yvette when they were younger

Anyways this took me like two hours to type up so enjoy these screenshots of Ivy and Thierry having chaotic sibling energy.

Fidelia Lissiri Profile (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy)

Name: Fidelia Lissiri

Nicknames: Fi, Del

Gender: female

Birth year: 6ABY

Allegiance: First Order

Hair: long, brown, wavy, generally worn in two ponytails with the length wrapped in black ribbon

Eyes: brown

Face claim: Troian Belissario (oof why was it so hard to get good gifs)

Fidelia is a force sensitive who grew up with her father, a rebel engineer, on Yavin 4. Unfortunately, her mother became very ill towards the end of the pregnancy. Doctors thought that removing Fidelia early would help the illness, however she only got worse and died after a few months. Her father did not take the death well and became distant, leaving the majority of Fidelia's care to droids.

When she became one of Luke's students she struggled to make friends, having never really learned the social skills required, but she grew very close to Ben Solo. It was early on in her training that Fidelia learned she was very gifted with psychometry, the ability to feel what happened to something or someone through the Force, especially with people. She had little control over this ability, which made the other students wary of her. Luke tried very hard to help her control this power but she never learned how to. When the temple was destroyed, she left with Ben, now Kylo Ren, to the First Order.

Due to the bond Fidelia and Kylo had, Snoke saw her as a way to reinforce Kylo's loyalty, so she became his second in command. While she was perceived as an intimidating force user, she would do anything for her friend Kylo.

(And that's where TFA begins)

How other characters feel about her at this stage:

Kylo - The closest thing Kylo could call a friend. It's very much not a conventional friendship at all, but she's always there to validate his feelings and support him. He appreciates that she never questions him. Sometimes she reminds him of his old life and he hates it. On his side, their relationship is almost a love-hate relationship.

Hux - He was very intimidated by her at first, not that he would show it. He saw her like Kylo for a long time, a rival who wasn't worthy. After a while he realised the depth of her devotion to Kylo and began to think of her as lesser until he actually had the opportunity to speak to her alone. She frustrates him and their relationship is one of constantly shifting dynamics.

Snoke: Fidelia isn't the most useful tool he has at his disposal, but she serves her purposes. Her powers can be extremely useful in interrogations and he knows she will serve him as long as Kylo does as well. She is predictable and so he doesn't have to work hard to keep her in line.

Shipping: I mostly ship her with Hux, but also with Kylo as well. She's Pansexual and i would be very interested in shipping her with other OCs or reader self-inserts!

How To Convert FLAC To Apple Lossless Audio File (ALAC) On Mac

IOS eleven reportedly brings native support for lossless audio encoded within the common FLAC format to iPhone, iPad and iPod contact. Allowing the streaming service to compress and convert your audio recordsdata would not essentially mean the quality will degrade, but some compression algorithms enhance peak alerts enough that the audio can sound distorted. When you use a trusted program to convert your information to the correct format for every platform, you'll be able to hear to each one to get a good suggestion of what it should sound like as soon as it is printed.

Within the late Nineties, one of many authentic transportable music file formats - the MP3 - was causing quite a little bit of trouble primarily because of user's unlawful sharing over Napster. Whereas MP3 finally prevailed, there may be an excellent better option for prime-high quality music downloads, and it is playable on your favorite machine. It's even in your music streams. The brief answer is sure, if it is accomplished by a reputable service provider. There are two major security considerations to remember before you utilize file conversion software program. The first is the safety of your laptop. Most online file converters require you to upload the file to a server. Then the service, most often, sends you an email with an executable file attached. When you download and run an executable file, there's an opportunity it may carry a virus or alac to flac converter download android malware. The identical pitfalls exist for a desktop conversion software program that requires you to download the application. If the software developer would not have contact types or a good About Us web page, be wary. As for duplicate information. Sure I did have to take some time to re-rip all of my CDs to FLAC but the files are saved on a memory stick (for use in the MS) so there isn't a duplication on my Mac. These days I've been using a program referred to as Fidelia to listen to the FLAC on the MAC. However iTunes is extra built-in, so I wouldn't have a really perfect resolution apart from to keep one format on my MAC and one other (FLAC) on a memory stick for the MS. There are a number of packages that will convert ALAC to FLAC and the conversion is well worth the effort. The lossless information make an enormous distinction within the MS sound. Convert iTunes M4A, M4B & Audible AA, AAX audiobooks to plain format. Wait a couple of minutes for the FLAC information to convert. Yeah, unfortunately it would seem that AAC was added to the formats list with out the proper understanding that it was a version of MPEG-four, similar as ALAC. Likewise I requested MPEG-four to be added with the intention of applying it to movies, however I too didn't notice that AAC and ALAC are sorts of MPEG-four. Exclusive Mode aka Hog Mode : What actually matters on a Mac OS is how the participant takes control of the settings in core audio of you machine. Open up "Audio- and MIDI-settings" and show the audio window. Play recordsdata with completely different sample charges and bit-depth from iTunes and you will se that core audio doesn't change. Meaning a sample charge conversion is going down. Now download and run an app like the BitPerfect and make the same test. It is best alac to flac converter mac to now observe that the core settings are actively tailored for each and every music you play in iTunes. This is what gamers like Amarra Music Player, kierapaschke9.wordpress.com Pure Music and Audirvana also does; they take lively control and optimize the core audio settings to avoid any native real-time pattern price conversion. Ogg to mp3 free informative submit: ogg to mp3 batch converter develop shortly convert from ogg to mp3 on-line this Essential: Every audio converter program beneath is freeware. It's completely appropriate with Residence home windows 10, simple to obtain (the free download" buttons are a super place to begin), and highly versatile. In addition to, Any Audio Converter is an efficient on-line video downloader and on-line video to audio converter. Timothy, there is a handful of good GUI tools that convert FLAC direct to AAC. Most, if not all of them, are business, although. As soon as the information are converted (green bar) you possibly can obtain the transformed ALAC recordsdata individually or click Obtain All" button to download all recordsdata in a ZIP archive format. AIFF - AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is a file format used by Macintosh computer systems and Silicon Graphics Incorporated to retailer and transmit high-high quality audio information, similar to music. These audio format is uncompressed, very comparable with WAV format. Should you choose lossy formats (MP3 or AAC) the minimum bitrate setting you need to use for music is 160 kbps, although 256 kbps might be to be most popular - and in use on an iPod is unlikely to be distinguishable from WAV or AIFF (or Apple Lossless). For speech 128 kbps and even sixty four kbps can be utilized as the bitrate if most popular.You need to choose a location where you need the ALAC file to be stored. You'll be able to create a new folder, put it aside in an present folder or depart it in the default folder. After that, you'll be able to full the conversion by clicking the Convert" button. When you use Apple's iTunes software program to prepare your digital music library, then you definitely probably already know that the default format that it uses is AAC If you additionally purchase songs and albums from the iTunes Store , then the files you obtain may even be AAC (the iTunes Plus format to be precise).

#FIDELIA APP FOR MAC OS#

#FIDELIA APP SOFTWARE#

Sure, both are cars, but some people will surely appreciate the Ferrari in a different level. Comparing this to Vox is like comparing a Hyundai with a Ferrari. Maybe I'll try it again once it's 1.2 or 1.5. This worked fine with MP3 files, but failed with high resolution WAV files. I prefer to use iTunes along with Digital Power Station, or with Jack OS X and DSP-Quattro and my plugins. I hate to give this a low rating, but this is terrible. Additional features cost more than the application itself. There's no functionality to quickly rearrange plugins. With each restart a crash report was supposed to be sent to Audiofile Engineering, but I don't know if the multiple reports actually went out. I also had to Force Quit the application numerous times. In order to get sound again I had to quit the application. This was the case with a couple of high resolution WAV files. In some cases, audio was degraded and sounded terrible. I have around 40 of those, and they come in different formats like VST and AU, and different variations as well, such as Mono and Stereo. In some cases it took over 10 seconds to validate a plugin, as was the case with many Waves plugins. While listening I was also using different metering plugins to get a more accurate picture of what was going on in terms of volume and frequencies. I did a very thorough test with one file comparing the recorded output from iTunes and Fidelia, and found greater perceived loudness along with some better response across the frequency spectrum. Improved audio quality, probably due to limiting and equalization. Numerous crashes upon launching -or trying to launch- the app. In all fairness, Fidelia does not claim to sound better than iTunes.Īdditional issues I encountered with Fidelia:Īdding a song resulted in losing my playlists until restarting the app. What does this mean? That the audio is and sounds exactly the same, regardless of whether you use Fidelia or iTunes for playback. In practical terms there was silence regardless of which plugin I used to invert the phase. I then tried to reverse the polarity using Melda Auto Align, and this time the files nulled 100%. Using Sonalksis' FreeG to invert the polarity of a track the files nulled almost perfectly, with only something going on below -93 dB. The null test link posted by Moogan makes sense, so I played a file using Fidelia and then using iTunes, I captured the audio from the file using Audio Hijack Pro, and loaded the resulting 2 audio files into Studio One along with the original WAV file. Fidelia keeps it simple: organize and enjoy your music library at superior levels of sonic quality.
