Just to be clear you are aware that in french you just said "you want to fuck me so much that you look stupid" ?

Oooooh, so that's what I said? I had nooooo ideaaaa... You see, I don't speak French, I just hit my head on the keyboard until the text seems French-like, then I add a few vowels and Xs to the resulting text in random spots.

Have you ever heard about the infinite monkeys typing Shakespeare? That's how I post things in french.

Priest Bożydar Alojzy Skarga !

Oc info under read more :) love my little guy! i meant to post this way back too,,,,

was supposed to rewrite it so its less coloquial (?) but i never ended up doing it so.

here is the lovely wall of text <3 :

One Sunday, as he was in a confessional, with one of his faithful, in one of the little wooden chapels that the locals had. As they're mid confession a horde reaches the village- since the confessional has full doors they're not aware that a barrel came into the building and it blows up, decimating one of the ceiling supports and mostly destroying the part of the confessional where the other person was.

[Heads up: the name 'Bożydar' literally means God's gift/Godly gift]

He was a priest taking care of a few villages in the area. A phlegmatic of average stature but of little physical strength as he had in habit to fast. (Thinking about giving him glasses too… well see when I draw him)

So uh. Xs. Bożydar got trapped as a bunch of wood fell, blocking his exit (reminder, he's a thin stick with no muscles)

He couldn't do anything to get out or help others, the only thing he could do, was to observe the villager being torn apart next to him and to listen to the yells coming from other inhabitants

Thankfully there were no more barrels heading for the Chapel, so he was spared. Trapped in the ruins of the building, he waited for anything, really. After a day, a group of soldiers came through the wreckage that was once a village and rescued him. Xs. Bożydar ended up being the sole survivor of this attack 👍 with nowhere to go and terrified to the marrow of his bones, he joined the group as their chaplain.

The event caused him to change from a slow paced man to a constantly in a hurry person, always anxious over how the time passes. And since he was caught during a confession, when he was rescued he still had his (I FORGOT THE WORD. GRRRGRGGR. the purple additional cloth that priests wear during confession.) on, and decided to not take it off, ever. Because what happens if he won't be able to cleanse another person off of their sins in time again?

Alojzy is his second name, but to the soldiers he introduce himself as Xs. Alojzy instead of Bożydar, as how could he be a real gift of God's if he was unable to help both sinners and innocents from an unfair end?

He greatly struggles with guilt regarding the situation. Bożydar knows that there was no way for him to do anything, and if asked, he would answer similarly, but buried deep in his mind is the thorn of guilt and sadness. He wants to let it go, but he is unable to.

In addition, he stopped fasting unless its a day that requires it like no meat on Friday. He no longer fasts additional days as he is afraid he will be too weak to do something again (again, illogical as no way bro could lift a whole ass wooden beam, a door and more wood chucnks by himsel even if he was ripped)

Oh yeah! his surname is Skarga [lit. Complaint] not only because haha reference to the other priest Skarga, but at the same time it's a meaningful name (nazwisko znaczące?? Idk) He feels guilty, he thinks that the spirits of the killed would complain about him.

some XS text posts that no one asked for cuz the brainrot is crazy

[fandom-has-consumed-my-life]

You there! Ever think back to being a little kid with no worries, no responsibilities, and waking up early to a lineup of your favorite Saturday morning cartoons? Remember this little gem?

Xiaolin Showdown; created by Christy Hui, just turned 20 this year with a dedicated reanimated collab to celebrate, and a staple of many people's childhoods. Obviously, I'm not the only fan who's still floating around these parts and there are probably more of us chilling in other fandoms! So, I have decided to orchestrate a specific rival for the fandom-

A revival of the Xiaolin Showdown RP Fandom!

Under the cut is the link to the discord server that serves as the hub for this undertaking: whether you're a pro at roleplaying or a total newbie, you're welcome so long as you stick to the rules. Resources for blog-making, icon-making, and a channel for promoting your completed blog are already set up, so you can jump right in if you so desire.

If you wanna just talk about the show, that's good as well! There's an entire category for speaking on characters, episode discussion, sharing fan art and fanfiction, and original characters! As much as I want to revive the RP fandom, I'm also all about connecting fans to one another and injecting more life into the entirety of the XS fandom.

Reblogs are seriously appreciated and needed to spread this post as far as possible to as many people as it can reach. Thank you and I hope to see new people in the server soon!

as always, thank you @hgejfmw-hgejhsf for the tag 🥰 love u val

here are some texts from part 2 of to be so lost in this radiant wilderness which i wanted to post this weekend - well. i won't, so here's a preview, i guess.

Henry: Tell your sister that I love her interviews.  Alex: what  Henry: June Claremont-Diaz right? I figured she was your sister, that���s not a very common last name.  Alex: and you mention this just now Henry: To be fair you never left me a lot of chance of talking. Alex: oh god  i can’t stand you  Henry: The feeling is mutual  And don’t text while you’re talking with your family it’s not polite xx  Alex: i’ll shove those british xs down your ass  Henry: You know I love to have things shoved down my arse Alex that’s not exactly a threat.

O2A2 Daily Log. DAY/NiGHT 1 (July 5th, 2024)

I'll be posting these until I get to the game's development conclusion!

Day I.

It was around 10 AM when I started working. My initial process laid in drafting the story. After deciding on the main character (in this case, Amaranth) I stripped the story to its two components – place and premise – because in other cases it’d be down to building the plot off of a character, and my mind runs wild whenever I construct it like that.

The place is the library, where souls come after they’ve passed, so an Afterlife Library. And the premise is quite simple – it’s a game for the player’s life! In this case, instead of a gamble it all comes down to outsmarting the machine, ahem, the experienced librarian.

And as a person who barely knows Python beyond freely coding in Ren’py, I wandered to the search engine to find a tutorial and realised that I’ll probably be better off searching on Reddit. One of the posts gave me a really good idea – the OP was talking about imagebuttons and logic and then it clicked for me.

Tic-tac-toe is a game where you draw the image inside the grid spaces, taking turns and adjusting your movements to your opponents’... Was it possible to code something like that?!

(duh, of course it was, this log is a testament to that)

I started by cropping the supposed “images” (solid blocks of two colours – one for the scroll and one for the charcoal), and cropped tiny squares of the scroll's colour. So the layering was like this – background scroll - big dark square - vertical box full of horizontal boxes of scroll’s colour, creating the illusion of a drawn grid, when in reality it is not.

And this marks the beginning of my two-hour suffering. I ditched the idea of imagebuttons that I wanted to go with, since that’d require assets, which I only could use one of. So I opted for textbuttons, and it was the most Hell I’ve had coding.

At first I couldn’t get them to show up. Then, I remembered to set a box just for them (x/y maximum of 70ish, since the squares are 90), had nightmares doing the horizontal and vertical boxes, and increased the font. Hooray! Visible!

Setting a variable on click with “action” function was easy, and soon enough I could fill an entire board with. Xs and Os. Time to code Amaranth’s turn in! (scared)

It wasn’t as scary as I imagined: basically, all tiles are “if” functions, and if they’re empty the player can fill them. If it’s not their turn, they’re not active, and Amaranth is quick to respond (I did a test to see if she’d fill an empty cell and she did!)

Then came the invisible (for now) work – I coded in a win condition. I SCREAMED WITH JOY WHEN I SAW THAT MY ARRAYS FINALLY UPDATED! 

That concluded my day-work!

Night I.

So I decided to push forward and actually coded in her responses!

I took and hardcoded the first two turns for her Xs and the rest was assigned at random. As for Os, I made it do everything at random, since she’s more experienced at playing Xs! (totally not because I didn’t want to look at tic-tac-toe ever again)

Each turn the machine checks if there are any free spaces and if any of the rows match winning conditions. If they do, the player gets to the end plot (I still haven’t written any of it, aaaa!). If they don’t, the game continues until it’s a draw or X’s/O’s win.

With that, I finally slumped into the bed. Even with taking breaks it was kind of a hard exercise to be jumping straight into after a. Year. Of not working with Python’s syntax.

[I’ve cut off a huge text segment of me trying to design a less clunky random placement system, but all of my endeavours led to dead ends caused by my inexperience and complex requests. Thank you for all the answers, StackOverflow! So many people asking the same question, it makes me feel like we’re all a part of a big community…]

iOS 17 Features Coming Soon: Here’s What Rumors Say – Features, Release Date, and More

As the world eagerly awaits the release of Apple’s next major operating system update, iOS 17, rumors and speculations about its features and improvements are already swirling around the internet.

With every iOS release, Apple has managed to surprise and delight its users with new and exciting features that enhance the overall user experience.

iOS 17 is expected to be no different, with many exciting features and improvements in the pipeline that are sure to make the iOS ecosystem even more powerful, intuitive, and user-friendly.

In this iOS 17 features coming soon post, we will take a look at some of the most anticipated iOS 17 features that are coming soon and explore what they could mean for Apple users.

So, let’s dive in and get a sneak peek into iOS 17 features coming soon!

iOS 17 Features Coming Soon: Release Date & Announcements

Apple enthusiasts can anticipate the announcement of iOS 17, the successor to iOS 16, most likely to occur at the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2023.

You can check out the recent update from Apple in our guide on iOS 16.4 features coming soon.

Following Apple’s usual trend of releasing the latest iOS version in the fall, a potential timeline for iOS 17’s release can be estimated.

Firstly, a Beta version of the software will be made available to a limited number of users for the first few weeks after the announcement.

This allows volunteers to report any bugs or issues with the software to Apple so that they can be fixed before the official release.

When the new iPhone 15 series debuts in late September or early October, the stable version of iOS 17 is then anticipated to begin rolling out to all eligible iPhones.

Eligible Devices For iOS 17

Apple has built a reputation for offering extended software support to its devices, which is why a significant number of iPhones are expected to qualify for the highly-anticipated iOS 17 update.

To provide greater clarity, we have compiled a comprehensive list of eligible devices that are slated to receive the iOS 17 update.

iPhone 14 (Complete Series)

iPhone 13 (Complete Series)

iPhone 12 (Complete Series)

iPhone 11 (Complete Series)

iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max

iPhone XR, iPhone X

iPhone SE (3rd generation)

iPhone SE (2nd generation)

In September 2023, Apple is expected to release new iPhones that will come equipped with the latest iOS 17 operating system.

Apple typically provides software updates for devices that are no more than five years old, and the recent release of iOS 16 has been made available to the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. You can check out the latest iOS 16.4 release dates, features and all.

However, due to their 2017 release, it is unlikely that these models will receive the iOS 17 update.

Similarly, all other iPhone models launched prior to the iPhone 8 series will also be ineligible for the iOS 17 upgrade, just as they were not eligible for the iOS 16 update.

Expectations For iOS 17’s New Features

We’re all excited to know about the iOS 17’s new features, which will be the most insane of all time.

iOS 16.4 New Features update was just released by Apple where some notable changes have been made. You can check out that as well.

Call Recording:

One of the most important iOS 17 features coming soon is the ability to record phone calls directly on an iPhone.

There are third-party apps available for this purpose, but most of them are just gimmicks and don’t work properly.

Call recording can be extremely useful in a variety of situations, such as conducting interviews, recording important business calls, or simply for personal reference.

Split Screen, which has been available on many Android tablets for several years, allows users to run two apps side-by-side, making it easier to multitask and be more productive on their device.

With Split Screen, users can easily drag and drop content between two apps, such as copying and pasting text from a web page to a document.

The implementation of Split Screen in iOS 17 is expected to be seamless and intuitive, as is typical of Apple’s design philosophy.

Rumors suggest that Apple is planning to introduce a redesigned Notification Center, which will make it easier for users to manage and prioritize their notifications.

It is expected that Apple will add new options for customization, allowing users to personalize their notifications even further.

This could include the ability to set custom notification tones for specific apps or contacts, as well as the ability to group notifications by app or category.

One of the most exciting rumored features for iOS 17 is the potential introduction of a “Dual Apps” feature.

For example, if you wanted to have two different WhatsApp accounts running simultaneously on your iPhone, you could use the Dual Apps feature to achieve this.

While there has been no official confirmation from Apple about the introduction of Dual Apps in iOS 17, it would be a welcome addition for many users who have been requesting this feature for years.

The last point on our blog of iOS 17 features coming soon is about Siri.

With iOS 17, Apple is rumored to be introducing a “Better Siri” feature that will finally bring the digital assistant up to par with its competitors.

The improved Siri is expected to have more natural language processing capabilities, allowing for more conversational interactions with users.

It is also rumored to have a better understanding of context, so it can provide more accurate and helpful responses to user queries.

How Excited You’re For iOS 17?

Well everyone is pretty excited for iOS 17 features coming soon on all iPhones and iPad. There are a lot of exciting rumors circulating about what iOS 17 may bring to the table.

From the highly anticipated split screen, call recording, improved Siri feature to potential improvements in areas like performance, privacy, and customization, it seems like Apple is aiming to make iOS 17 a significant upgrade from the current version.

I found your blog via grasshopper's blog. Loved your discussions and content. You both give many interesting insights. Your contribution to the fandom as bloggers and writers is so vast I consider you gods, haha. Even with these text posts in which you make fun of XS characters - I'm cackling. Especially I'm very fond of 'big tidy guan' and 'Dojo where is Atlantis' Also, I'm looking forward to more wu-redesigns adult!Omi is about to make. And I'm obsessed with your au with soup-powered Dashi. You're just an amazing person with an incredible sense of humor and full of mind-blowing ideas for a niche franchise. And that's why more people should follow your lovely blog.

Well, it's certainly nice to know I was found through a friend! I always have fun discussing headcanons and such with @grasshopperdoingdogpaddle, always so many fascinating topics of discussion! Though I don't know about considering myself a god (except maybe of chaos haha), I just like to have fun.

And I enjoy incorrect quotes style stuff, too! It's just really fun to imagine them being goofy when talking. I like to imagine it as a bloopers sort of thing. And I have lots of fun making the memes, I feel very affectionate toward the kind of ridiculousness they have going on.

I do plan on doing more Altered Wu stuff in the future! I have many ideas for the ones I haven't mentioned so far so I'm glad you're interested in hearing more in the future!

Day 17 Chiricahua Nat'l Monument

Look at this Yucca plant's spent flower. We have these at home but they're about 3 ft . Ones like this are everywhere and some, like this one, are 8 ft. Wow! Another day of desert hot sun and because of our elevation it was maybe in the 30s in the morning (maybe 50 in the afternoon). But it felt a lot warmer. This afternoon we could even see evidence of snow melt, making more mud🤪.

What we didn't take time for in yesterday's post was to tell that we had no internet or phone service. Just Xs on all the phones. We woke this morning to enough service to get a text in or out and an email download (as long as we were in the front of the motorhome holding a phone up in the air). Not enough to use a computer, but weirdly at night we could watch Netflix, no other streaming services though. Interesting.

You read yesterday that we saw a couple RVs a half mile away and that was it. The dirt road we're on does go many more miles past us and we didn't know if it ends or connects to something else. Why tell you this? We saw a guy in a truck with a trailer of wood go past us a couple times. And we heard a chainsaw while we were hiking. Speculating - is he cutting down trees and selling the wood (not allowed on national lands), is this one of those places (we didn't see any signs) where we've seen signs saying it's ok to cut dead, is he cutting up trees that are already down for campfires (he doesn't appear to be camping), or, you fill in the blank?

Our hike was great fun but super muddy. Thank goodness for snow to keep wiping the clods of mud off.

We saw the remainder of a cool cattle enclosure and based on the narrow exit we're guessing it's where cattle were sold and picked up (we've shown you pictures of much newer and currently in use enclosures like this on ranches).

We forded a stream (a couple times). And best of all, we saw no people, just trees, bushes, cactus, water, snow and mud.
