How do I level up high jump and unlock glide?

Assuming this is about KH2, you gotta level up your forms! Valor is for high jump and Final is for glide; here is the guide for those unlocks and what you need to do to level them up.

I honestly love this question because I played KH2 for years without ever leveling up the forms. I only realized how helpful they were in the Final Mix with the Cavern of Remembrance. I asked a friend and they told me about the form abilities and I just "they do WHAT" 😂

raise your hand if you never used drive forms during your entire kh2 playthrough 🙋

Did you know that there is a mod that lets you use Valor Form? You can even take it the extra mile to alter Sora's outfit too but I prefer the look I'm using here.

Women’s self-image is as negative as ever despite the “body positivity” wave of choice feminism. Why?

I think one of the biggest reasons as to why women’s beauty standards and self-image are worse than even is because you can preach about unfair beauty standards all you want and tell women not to make fun of another woman’s looks but you can’t take away the social status and praise that women who are “beautiful” get from society (both men and women). You give them clout and praise them. Something both “body positivity” and “body neutrality” feminists do btw despite all the talk about acceptance.

It’s like saying you don’t support the ethics behind a product and yet still consume and buy it. In this case “beauty” being a luxury achieved via consumerism where women become the products (objects) that other women admire and obsess over. There is a demand so there is a supply PERIOD.

Women might not directly pursue beauty (“I do it for myself”) for men but nonetheless it’s definitely ingrained as a sign of status and that’s enough to cause a negative self-image in women who don’t participate. Men might have been the original perpetrators of installing unrealistic beauty standards for women but the victims (women) have also turned into perpetrators who can’t let go of the misogynistic status symbol of having value from appearances because it’s considered “culture”.

We're still working out a lot of details and plot directions, but in the beginning points of SoFS&V, Tua and [former] Grand Inquisitor aren't aware of each other & that they're both working in some way with Kallus.

He finds out about Tua before Tua finds out about Him. He's due to meet up with Kallus for some mission when he sees Tua talking with him. She disappears shortly afterwards. Enjoying trying to find as many ways to get a rise out of Kallus as possible, He cracks a joke along the lines of "*gasp* Kali, you're cheating on me?"

"What?"

"I thought I was the only desperate tramp you've taken upon yourself to try and guide on the path to redemption from life of the empire."

"Oh, you are the only tramp. She's a lady thats more tenacious than the woman you and I used to know."

*scoffs* "yeah, we'll see how long that lasts. Princesa has always been one to run when things got too intense for her."

"Well, you've both changed a lot in the year you two have disappeared."

People blaming Netflix for Arcane only having two seasons as if that wasn't an intentional decision by the writers is so weird to me. Personally, it's so cool to see writers know what they want from a story and not dragging it out for money which while ruining the story, is something they can do because of how popular Arcane is.

I just really like it when writers are given the freedom to write the story that they want without any constraints because money-making is above everything (looking right at you, Hazbin Hotel and Julie and the Phantoms).

Dialogue from "A Valorous Hero" + Raid: Shadow Legends

Last, but always the most, here's Nemona's Candela's text for her quest, once again sourced from Pokeminers. My thoughts below the cut, as always!

Since this is the last of the leader hero quests, I've also included comparisons to the three of them throughout this little series, as well as my observations towards the buildup of Shadow Raids. So, this post's end notes will be a little longer.

+TEXT: A Valorous Hero (4/4) +RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_0_0

+TEXT: ... ... ... *sigh* ... ... ...

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_0_1 +TEXT: Oh. Hey, %PLAYERNAME%.

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_0_2 +TEXT: ... ... ... *sigh*

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_0_3 +TEXT: Sorry. I’ve just been feeling kinda burnt out lately.

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_0_4 +TEXT: I hate to say it, but my battling techniques have gotten stale. I need to reignite my inner fire somehow.

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_0_5 +TEXT: Wait—I’ve got an idea! Professor Willow’s always talking about how great you are at Pokémon battles.

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_0_6 +TEXT: How about letting me see some of that passion in action? Watching you battle might be just what I need!

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_0_7 +TEXT: You’ll help me out, yeah? Nice. I knew you’d agree, %PLAYERNAME%.

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_0_8 +TEXT: Let’s make sure our teams are in top shape, then we’ll get to it.

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_1_0 +TEXT: I’m all set, %PLAYERNAME%.

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_1_1 +TEXT: My team’s raring to see you and your Pokémon blaze into the fray!

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_1_2 +TEXT: So. Where should we start? There’s plenty of options—take on a Gym, battle with friends, go a couple rounds in the GO Battle League...

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_1_3 +TEXT: You and I could even go head-to-head!

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_1_4 +TEXT: Oh—I’ve got it! See that Team GO Rocket Grunt over there?

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_1_5 +TEXT: Let’s take ’em down. We can save whatever Pokémon they’ve got their hands on and flex your battle skills at the same time!

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_2_0 +TEXT: You’re on fire, %PLAYERNAME%! + +RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_2_1 +TEXT: Didja see how fast that Grunt ran off? Hah! You smoked ’em.

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_2_2 +TEXT: Speaking of Grunts, they’ve been acting weird lately. The last few I battled acted off after I beat ’em. Usually they throw a huffy quip at me before sulking off.

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_2_3 +TEXT: But lately they just laugh!

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_2_4 +TEXT: Rrrgh... Think I need to up the intensity? Maybe have Ponyta give ’em a good Stomp at the end?!

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_2_5 +TEXT: Anyway. Enough analyzing—that’s Blanche’s thing. Let’s get back to battling. Why don’t we find a Gym you can take on.

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_3_0 +TEXT: That was a blistering battle, %PLAYERNAME%!

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_3_1 +TEXT: My mind’s ablaze with new ways to train.

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_3_2 +TEXT: Thanks for helping me find my fire!

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_3_3 +TEXT: I should probably be the one teaching you stuff, but you know plenty already.

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_3_4 +TEXT: Does that mean you’re looking to take up the reins of team leader yourself? Hah, I could get behind that!

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_3_5 +TEXT: You know, you really gave me the inspiration I needed—I’d say that’s pretty heroic.

+RESOURCE ID: quest_special_dialogue_may23_candela_3_6 +TEXT: All right. Enough talk. Ponyta and I are off to get in some training. See you later, %PLAYERNAME%! And you better be ready to battle the next time you see me.

If you missed out on Willow's Diary (back from 2019 or so) entries, Candela struggled with sharing her feelings and asking her help. This quest shows how far she's come with that and contrasts her personalty well against Arlo's. She's secure enough in her own sense of power to not only share her feelings with you and ask you for help, but vouch you for leadership. That is saying a lot. 100/10 would vote for anytime.

Candela's thought process falls right in between Spark's and Blanche's. She doesn't want to waste time over-analyzing, but she knows when to slow down before rushing into the fray.

I found it interesting that each leader observed the rockets with their strongest assets: Blanche noticed their numbers (analyzing; Blanche likely keeps track of the GO Rocket grunts on a highly detailed scale); Spark noticed their activity (intuition; hunters and protectors tend to notice patterns within their prey); and Candela noticed their reaction to their losses against her (empathy; laughing after being beaten is usually a huge red flag in storytelling and would make anyone worry IRL.)

On the first few read-overs, I was taken aback by how she speaks. The dialogue feels as if it's meant to emulate how pun-laden the mainline characters are, especially the 'genki' ones like Ash and Nemona. But those come off as more charming in how silly and hyper-focused they are. This has a more "how do you do, fellow kids?" energy. Compared to Spark and Blanche's written voices, it's not the best execution. I know that she has a "soft mode" (check her old appraisal lines and her introduction when you choose a team) and "fired up" mode in terms of how her dialogue reads; but the latter mode needs work. That being said, I may not be giving credit where credit is due. Candela is supposed to be both heroic and a massive ham. If that's still the case, then they've nailed it.

Puns puns puns oh my god jesus christ

Similar to Spark, I can see how someone like Arlo could easily underestimate her potential. The more I take inventory of her behavior and dialogue that's been put on display over the years, the more she comes off as a Badass Murder Cheerleader type.

She almost reminds me of Cliff with how focused and warm her dialogue is: only saying what needs to be said, very inclusive and treats you like an equal while knowing she's you're guide and protector (which all three leaders have displayed traits of in their own ways). I would go as far as to say Cliff may have been more like Candela before his 'fall,' but prone to irrational ragers, unlike Candela.

Regarding Shadow Raids

The 'laughing at losing' bit actually makes me wonder if it's laying the foundations for the scope of what's to come. Candela sees the grunt's reactions from a self conscious angle, which is not only a normal response, but tells me she's out to actually demoralize the grunts in battle. Rightfully so, considering their cruelty. However, if you know what's on the horizon, we know that laughing when you're beaten down is something that a person will do when they put a lot of faith in something or someone. They see the Shadow Raids (which you could interpret as gym takeovers) as a huge gamechanger.

I already had a hypothesis, since the excavation event, that GORocket is more 'cultlike' than other instances of Team Rocket. They were also singing praises to Arlo when you beat them, so…
