MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO ARE PLAYING PLAYFUL LAND AND ALSO FOR BOOK 7 CHAPTERS‼️‼️

I don't know if this has been asked before or not, but regarding Fellow/Ernesto's unique magic, how come it worked on Ortho? When Malleus cast his sleeping magic in book 7 for example, Ortho wasn't affected because he isn't an actual human and can easily just escape into his own cyberspace for protection,,, so how come Fellow's magic affected him? :0

Well, Ortho isn't completely immune to magic. He is very much still affected by it. For example, Ortho can still take damage from magical strikes. In book 7, he was also initially pulled into sleep by Malleus's UM. The only reason why Ortho was able to escape from it is because he has a loophole as an android: he has the unique ability to transfer his consciousness from one robot body to another. Even then, Malleus made it quite difficult for Ortho to access his spare Gears. He had to transmit himself to Styx HQ via cyberspace and find a workaround.

By that logic, Fellow's UM was still able to influence Ortho because his consciousness was present. If Ortho had somehow transmitted himself into a different Gear and left his old one behind, the old one wouldn't have a consciousness and therefore Fellow would not be able to impact it. Does that make sense?

[moonsinkfoxgirl]

Of the various designs for the fox emoji, which one would you say is your favorite? 🦊

iOS (2016/2017/2024) -- 7/10 that's a cute foxy, but there is a certain cartooony ness about them that lessens their impact

Android (2016) -- 9.5/10 a wilder foxy, with a serious expression, simple and beautiful

Android (2017) -- 9/10 sudden change entirely, thoroughly simplified, but a core foxyness is retained and you get a good smile that can be both adorably whimsical as well as mischievous

Android (2020-2023) -- 5/10 that's a foxy alright, but she borders on being soulless

Samsung (2016) -- 2/10 easily mistaken for some form of rodent

Samsung (2018) -- 6/10 a lot better but a similar problem, the cute eyes do kind of elevate her though

Samsung (2019) -- 5/10 the plushie look helps a bit but very similar

Samsung (2023, 2024) -- 2/10 you could convincingly claim they're hamsters

Microsoft 3D fluent (2023) -- 0/10 may the gods have mercy on whoever decided to turn the beautiful Vulpes Vulpes into this abomination of artificial plastic

Microsoft (2016) -- 8/10 a striking shape in a beautiful style, but perhaps a bit too lacking in emotion to capitalize on that

Microsoft (2021, 2023) -- 1/10 it's better than the plastic 3D render but still a crime

Whatsapp (all of them) -- 4/10 not as bad as the samsung hamsters but you could still make the case

Twitter (all of them) -- 8/10 a cute and fine foxy, again a bit lacking in the emotional department

facebook (2017) -- 9/10 a delightfully whimsical foxy

facebook (2018, 2023) -- ‽⸘/10 this foxy was taken on a boat, gripped at her tail by some sort of tentacle, dragged to the bottom of the ocean where she saw abyssal truths that would be too much for the mind of any creature, and has now miraculously washed up on shore, wet, bedraggled, knowing

Huawei (2023) -- 8/10 this foxy holds many a wisdom

Joypixels (2016) -- 6/10 one day I may welcome our robot fox overlords but that day is not today

Joypixels (2017) -- 8/10 these foxies are young and curious

Joypixels (2018) -- 7/10 a step backwards from above

Joypixels (2019, 2020) -- 6/10 a villainous foxy full of deceit, not necessarily a badly made depiction under that premise but it is a harmful stereotype!

Joypixels (2020, 2023, 2024) -- 4/10 these foxies are being forced to smile fake smiles at 60 hours per week customer service jobs, please free them, they are calling for help

LG (2021) -- 5/10 a long nose lacking in emotion

Twitter emoji stickers (2022) -- 7/10 that's an expensive fursuit head

SerenityOS (2024) -- 1/10 at least with all the other rodents and hamsters you can kind of imagine them to be foxies if you're told that's what they're meant to be, but this? this is a mouse no matter how you look at it

TossFace (2022, 2023) -- -1/10 a corporate abomination

Sony Playstation (2021) -- 8/10 a cutie!

Noto Emoji font (2023) -- 8/10 a black and white cutie!

Icons8 (2023) -- 5/10 she's old and angry and doesn't like you

emojidex (2016/2017) -- 3/10 these girls are haggard

Emojipedia sample images (2016/2018) -- 2/10 could be confused for rodents again

the girl you sent me without a source -- 8/10 a serious cutie, but she could be mistaken for a wolf

[heartfullofleeches]

Ranking my non-human darling's by how much they like to take baths and how willing they are to let their yan(s) bathe them:

Puppy Streamer/Mall Security Darling: 1000/10. Loves a hot bath after a day at the gym or at work. Washing all that fur themself is a bit of a pain so some assistance is much appreciated

Cat Streamer Darling: -10/10 As a grown ass person they can wash themselves just fine. Only takes a bath if they haven't showered in a couple days. Hates every second of it

Bunny Streamer Darling: 5/10. Also prefers to wash themselves, but so long as their yan has a gentle hand they'll eventually warm up to the idea

Alien Streamer Darling: 9/10. Confused by these human bonding rituals, but never doubts the words of their dear friends. Probably enjoys eating bath soap.

Incubus Darling: 10/10. Sees past their yan's little tricks, but would never say no to free pampering. Be sure to polish their horns well, love

Angel/Cupid Darling: 9/10. Not sure to a mortal form and loves some assistance. Lil hesitant about letting people touch their wings due to how sensitive they are, but warms up to it with a bit of love and patience

Werewolf Bodyguard Darlingx: 4/10. Only allows others to bathe them if their fur is covered in too much filth to get out on their own like mud/blood

Werewolf Sheriff Darling: 0/10. Just give them a bucket and fuck off.

Ghoul Darling: 3/10. Scary.... Their Yan has to be extremely cautious or risk scrubbing off bits of their flesh. Easy to persuade with treats for good behavior

Evan's Spouse Darling: 0/10 when they first met. 11/10 currently. Stinky fleshy eater was initially frightened by bathing because it got rid of their natural scent and Evan used nasty 5 in 1 body soap. Now that he switched over to soaps with a more fruity and they moved into a place with a tub they both could get in, they look forward to every bath.

Cult Monster Darling: 2/10 at first. 100/10. Monster Darling was cautious of humans and nearly ran away when they mentioned bathtime as to their previous cartakers it meant chaining them down and spraying them with a hose. The cultists nor darling's mate would ever subject them to such torture and bathe them with the utmost care which they grow to love.

Sea Creature Darling: -1000/10. Fuck you. They live in water- there's no need to give them a bath. Thinks their caretaker's just want any excuse to touch them. Nearly took someone's eye out just for having a sponge near them.

Clown Fish Darling: 1000/10. Fun! Sees bath time as play time which can be a hassle for their yan if they're washing them in doors. It's best if their yan bathes with them as this darling will mote often than not try to pull them in anyway

Thembo Shark Darling: 7/10. ??? - but, they're in water all the time.... it is nice to have some help picking fish bones out of their teeth and they'd hardly refuse anything if food is involved

Slime Darling: 0/10. Do not need to be bathed and runs risk of losing parts of themselves in the water/down the drain. Likes watching others bathe instead.

Nightlight Darling: 0/10 as an android they do not need baths, but as a caregiver they like to help give them. Acts like one of those floating bathtub lights and can dispense bubbles from their mouth.

Doll Darling: 9/10. Also also doesn't need baths, but it's fun to pretend and if it makes Yan happy they'll gladly do it

Spider's Big Prometheus Thing: Index Post

Being a list of all the posts produced in the course of this inexplicable project of mine. This project is now complete, at an unexpectedly extensive thirty entries long.

I swear, I didn't intend for it to go like that, but it was fun to write.

All entries have at least a minimum level of citations for where to start looking for more facts on any subject external to the movie itself, which includes everything from how DNA is sequenced to how Nickolodeon slime is made, and from the comedy in mislabeled portraits of early church fathers to the correct attribution of a cat's contributions to historical linguistics.

Be aware that there's also hidden rambling and bonus facts in the image alt text. A lot of them.

0. Introduction

Setting the scene, including my background, my intent, and where this movie is going.

1. Opening

Expectations, landscapes, and aliens.

Rambles: DNA, whether aliens would have it, and why it doesn't look like a pale bacon ladder.

Alt-text rambles: nano-bubbles.

2. Discovery

The Isle of Skye is gorgeous, the movie attempts to establish its themes, and why it had already got my hackles up. Rambles: how cool ancient and pre-modern peoples were, the implications of humanoid figures in European cave paintings, and misplaced lions. Alt-text rambles: seriously, Skye is just so cool. Erich von Däniken and modern publishing royalties are not.

3. David

We meet the loneliest android, and his fandom of choice. Rambles: I go nuts for a paragraph over Proto-Indo-European. Alt-text rambles: Help me remember a dude's name, that time Ron Perlman saw Sigourney Weaver do something so cool he forgot to act, and a Coronation Street conspiracy theory.

4. Humans (Derogatory)

We meet the human crew, and analyze why they're a mismatch to the movie's established expectations, and what subgenre they fit in most. It isn't the one the movie seems to be aiming for. Rambles: 50s B-movies and their Men Of Science, modern movies and their quietly suffering scientists. Alt-text rambles: inconsistently moist characters, Idris Elba's christmas tree decorations.

5. Pseudoarchaeology (Extremely Derogatory)

We meet Old Man Capitalism, poor logistics, and how the movie began to really lose me through dropping in some racist pseudoscience tropes. Rambles: more logistics (of alien bioengineering), historical art styles, what the world was getting up to in the 600s CE Alt-text rambles: Linguistics, more ranting, the life and extraordinarily ornate death of Kʼinich Janaabʼ Pakal. Rants: the existence of writing, people who don't look like you can still think, stargazing and how conspiracy theorists don't understand it.

6. Roads

Poor firearm safety with Chekhov's Gun, when movies move too fast, atmospheric chemistry, and the moment I began to yearn for blood. Rambles: First contact protocols, why 3% CO₂ won't kill you but it will make you weird, my personal experience digging up a Roman road. Alt-text rambles: the logistics of securing items in moving craft, linguistics, atmospheric science, colorblind-friendly diagram design, swearing about orology, and cursing the crew for their fictional crimes against archaeology. Rants: Why they should've stayed in orbit, and my impassioned defense of historically significant transportation infrastructure.

7. Masking

The bit that made most people realize these characters were idiots. Featuring an attempt at themes. Rambles: NASA's policies on biological contaminants Alt-text rambles: Benedict Wong having nothing to do, helmet design, driving on dusty track, the tiny overlap between archaeological horrors and Minecraft, the CDC's excellent captions on men sneezing. Rants: Nominating a man for the Heinrich Schliemann Archaeology Award, all these people are catching space covid

8. Ghosts

Comparing the Engineers to their series antecedents, and I develop a slight soft spot for the geologist. Rambles: Set design in Alien, how carbon dating works. Alt-text rambles: Adventure games, GET DOWN MISTER PRESIDENT, I get very excited for Dune: Part Two, the archival devotion of people with rare blorbos.

9. Dignity

Personal, professional, social, and media context for the treatment of people's remains. Rambles: Personal experiences around the archaeological discovery of human skeletons, professional codes of ethics, movies that handle dead bodies better by being more crass about it. Alt-text rambles: None, the main text gets full focus this time.

10. Atmosphere

How intertextual imagery is overused, how the one major character arc is developing, and a whole grab bag of miscellaneous shambolic events. Rambles: How tourist-breath can destroy artifacts, and a deleted scene Alt-text rambles: Whether explaining mysteries is always the wrong decision in fantasy, the usefulness of helmets, Mass Effect's loading screens, please someone give me more recommendations for things where Giger creatures aren't all bad, and how cultural variation in gestures can make you look like an asshole. Rants: they aren't done desecrating the dead oh boy it's just gonna get worse

11. Decontamination

How to present an audience with events that make no sense, how to do it eerily, and how Prometheus does this by accident. Rambles: NASA's Apollo 11 quarantine policies Alt-text rambles: How 2001: A Space Odyssey put on a cosmic lightshow, how traditions are faked for political and social power in Midsommar, confusing lab equipment, robot arm safety, the use of camper vans in space exploration, umarell behavior, and robot horror movies. Bonus text rambles: pressurized gas cylinder safety, and how the cargo of one truck apparently tried to join Roscosmos. Rants: Laboratory safety

12. Shocking

Mary Shelly would not be proud of them. Rambles: Which home electrical appliances their tomfoolery is equivalent to. Alt-text rambles: Semiotics and Alien, reuse of props and art department equipment, the cast's inability to look at things, how the first chestburster scene intelligently incorporated spontaneity, and I completely lose my mind over a single computer readout, finding out in the process that the Engineers are close cousins to the common house mouse. Rants: I didn't think that "don't stick electrical plugs in people's ears" would be something that needed to be said, but here we are.

13. Family Tree

A soothing ramble about some of the cool bits of my job. Rambles: How evolution has made some vertebrate blood white or green, how genomes are sequenced, and how to determine the relatedness of species. And more. A lot more. I love my job. It's so cool. Alt-text rambles: How Nickelodeon slime was made, how hecking tiny molecules are, why blue-tongued skinks have blue tongues, my review of Dune: Part Two, how hard I worked to not turn Gene Wilder into a jumpscare, lots of enthusiastic explanations of DNA sequencing techniques, the aesthetics of the machines wot do that for you, how "snip" no longer sounds like a verb to me, and how I started out as a computational scientist.

14. Cheers

David poisons a man, and how his character arc ties into christian-influenced existential dread. Rambles: series continuity, gnostic theology, Ridley Scott's beliefs. Alt-text rambles: How to ruin petri dishes, Vickers' questionably carbon-based existence, the game of Operation, hand doubles in filming, how the funniest possible misidentification of an early church figure is wandering around the internet, the cool genders of suit actors, gnostic Archons, and the Engineers as Sophia. Rants: Holloway seems unaware that archaeologists study dead people, Ridley Scott is his own biggest problem.

15. Unworthy

The movie does something I'm not going to joke about. Don't read this if you're having a bad day. Big content warning for Holocaust imagery.

16. Intimacy

Your asexual commentator grapples with Hollywood's terrible track record on romantic and sexual chemistry. Rambles: Why we don't say an archaic-looking species is "older" than another, how religious scientists do what they do Alt-text rambles: the human family tree, Abbott and Costello, pitcher plant cultivars, the creative possibilities of a Buddhist version of this movie, and Stephen Still's lack of accordions. Rants: I've never been a boyfriend but I'm pretty sure that's not how you do it

17. Threat

Prometheus takes a hard turn into old slasher movie tropes. Rambles: A movie trailer that gave Wee Spider the screaming heebies Alt-text rambles: The age rating of Prometheus, a spontaneous X-Files crossover AU, Pitch Black, how likely it may or may not be that the images in the post will get flagged, critter behavior, insufficient EVA suit design, and the content balancing I take into account when selecting screenshots. Rants: This movie does not seem to know what it is. Alt-text rants: Ditto, focusing on characterization.

18. Flames

"Mac wants the flamethrower!" Rambles: I wandered off in the middle to watch a 40k comedy video, does that count? Alt-text rambles: More content-balancing, what kind of very English critter David appears to be, dune buggy design, Star Wars: The Old Republic is worth your time, Dune: Part Two is worth your time, an extremely long ramble about integration of CG background elements, and Oblivion memes. Alt-text rants: Movie color grading and lighting, undercutting scares.

19. Stars

The movie shows how good it can be when no dialog is involved. Rambles: The movie Contact and how Prometheus could've learned from it. Alt-text rambles: How I estimate large numbers from a still image, a brief Baldur's Gate 3 appearance, the set design and staging of a room made for giants with squishy computers, the use of color to make a cohesive scene, facts about Uranus, visual intimation of threat, VFX wizardry, practical FX wizardry, Michael Fassbender's wordless acting.

20. Expectant

The movie shows how good it can be when character choice is removed from the horror. Rambles: the inspiration and place of chestbursting in Alien movies, the continuing religious symbolism in the movie, the clunky dialog, how to build or undermine tension, and the good blending of practical and CG effects, and how tiny creatures of the ocean manage to be more uncanny than horror critters. Alt-text rambles: reading details the prop department never meant for you to see. Alt-text Rants: the return of the head-exploder and the first sight of actual PPE, slowly mangling a plot point's name until it has been thoroughly folded, spindled, and mutilated.

21. Underdelivered

The movie shows how terrible it can be when horror doesn't build tension. Rambles: Contortionists in horror, hillbilly horror/hixploitation movies. Alt-text rambles: Resident Evil 7, Dead Space and "strategic dismemberment"

22. Hubris

The movie tries to do some themes again Rambles: my ineffable desire to genetically sequence ditch weeds, Left Behind Alt-text rambles: Brad Dourif's commitment to the bit in The Two Towers, nigh-invisible wheelchair product placement, the Fallout series in general and the upcoming show in particular, praise for an epic-length critique of Left Behind, Robert Zemeckis' bizarre quest to mocap everything Rants: This movie does a terrible job representing both religiosity and atheism

23. Informed

Exposition is delivered, and plot points try to knit together. Rambles: The Silent Hill movie, Pacific Rim Alt-text rambles: Pyramid Head's secret unclothed backside, demanding environmental enrichment for scientists, greebling, Tumblr's favorite shitty copper merchant Rants: What could've been done instead of an exposition dump and daddy issues Alt-text rants: these people and their interior design are tempting fate and testing my patience

24. Inscribed

I go rogue and ramble about constructed languages and cuneiform for an entire post. Guest appearances from Klingon pop music and a delightfully eccentric Assyriologist. Rambles: All of it. Alt-text rambles: the self-awareness of conlangers, fingernail length, Schleischer's Fable as a warm-up for the next section, my primary conlang derangement, speculation about whether cuneiform was legible for the blind, my beef with the cowards at Lucasfilm for refusing to use Star Wars' coolest letters, my love for Warframe's Grineer, going into far too much detail about redesigning Prometheus' Engineer script, and finally, the many crocodiles of ancient egyptian hieroglyphs. Rants: None/all of it

25. Judgement

We discuss some of what the movie doesn't. Rambles: Fiction and morality, Blade Runner, biblical allusions the story could've made and doesn't Alt-text rambles: Lance Henriksen's insane career, the paintings of John Martin and a surprise George Washington, Rutger Hauer's effect on Blade Runner, my tentative plans for the next essay series. Rants: Germs, old man makeup. Alt-text Rants: The characters are reading ahead in the script again, the half-assed Engineer writing system continues to hurt me

26. Awoken

I go bananas over PIE. Rambles: fix-it fic for this damned movie, PIE, how to avoid PIE, how to analyze PIE, and my personal alternative to PIE. Alt-text rambles: calculating how long the Engineer's overslept, their potential spiritual kinship to Moominpapa, behind the scenes photos of the suit actors, Prometheus rants in the days of LiveJournal, the game Hades, how hard it personally is to get PIE right, the linguistics nerdery of the Hittite empire, and watermarks. Rants: how the movie fails its premise and hurts my soul with linguistics

27. Shortcomings

The characters, and movie, fail to get their message across to someone bent on their destruction. Rambles: David's confused religious symbolism, Star Trek Alt-text rambles: My desire for fanfic, behind the scenes photos, what other critters the Engineer's suit actor has played, the naming of Australopithecines, crash-proofing a movie set, alien gender, Gandahar and how French animated SF in the 80s was awesome, Scorn and its expert consultation from a cenobite, and Doctor Strangelove. Rants: the assumptions of the human characters, I go from trying to be measured to actively spiting the writer for his take on thoughtful SF Alt-text Rants: Del Toro is the only one who gets me, the movie has forgotten its main character just had a major surgery, one last rant about how terribly unsafe the Prometheus was as a ship, before it becomes definitively not a ship.

28. Momentum

It's the bit where she doesn't turn. Rambles: How to fix the dumbest thing we've seen in a hot minute, Edge of Tomorrow and feeling Tom Cruise's fear, how the dead thing is never really dead in horror. Alt-text rambles: How hard it is to find the most catchy song in We Love Katamari, more behind the scenes pictures of my blorbos, Friday the 13th Part IV, bad braille, and trilobites. Rants: I mean how can you not when the movie forgets how space works? Like, the idea of 3D space as a concept? Also, a particular rock earns my ire, and my ranting about interior designs on ships finally pays off.

29. Dissonance

The ending of the movie, and its tonal incoherency. Rambles: Protagonist-centric morality and lack thereof Alt-text rambles: Star Trek TNG, green blood, caecilian teeth. Rants: shallow christian themes, sequels that could have been, Shaw's confusingly deployed robo-racism Alt-text rants: sequel disappointments, inadvisable post-caesarian activities, how the hell do you fit that much 'burster into one chest, biological plausibility in alien extend-o-mouths

30. Justification

A breakdown of a post-release interview with Ridley Scott, explaining some missing details. Rambles: Gnosticism again, Mesoamerican and European human sacrifice and the exoticization of shared cultural practices, and a hearty book recommendation. Alt-text rambles: Icelandic volcanoes, The Collector (2009), Stephen Speilberg's War of the Worlds and how scaring the shit out of someone isn't necessarily the job of a horror film, the Tollund Man, unique cultural practices, Hello Future Me, and my opinions on what we've seen of Alien: Romulus. Rants: Ancient peoples weren't stupid, an unexamined christian-centric worldview, an unexamined christian-centric worldview, I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGh

[bulkyphrase]

fic trope rate game - kink edition

Thank you to @fohatic for the tag, and creating this exciting new tag game!!

Since I'm not filling this out on my lunch break I'm going to provide recommendations for these tropes when I have them.

Rate: How much do these tropes affect your decision to click on a fic?

-10 -> very dissuaded

0 - don’t care either way

+10 -> very enticed

nope -> if it’s a hard no and you’d never click on a fic with that tag or or you even have the tag blocked or you’d insta click out of the fic if it wasn’t tagged. Bonus points for explaining the rating and whether it’s conditional.

Onto the game ➡️

Roleplay: +7

Love roleplay. It can be cute, it can be hot, it can be a way to explore heavy scenarios without bringing down the mood too much.

Just a really solid trope.

Little Red Button by scribblywobblytimeylimey (Stony | Explicit | 6,298 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: Sequel to 'All There in the Manual' for firelordstark: “[I]t would be interesting if roleplaying an android were an actual kink of his and not just his subconscious trying to construct a situation where Tony would be interested in him.” (What do you know? Freud was right.) Tony takes so well to Steve's suggestion he starts to wish he'd mentioned it sooner. It's easy to believe the rest of it – that he's the sex-toy android Tony built for when Steve's not around, built to please him, modded within an inch of his life to react to pressure sensors in all the right places – when Tony's even gone as far as to integrate a voice modification filter that fits like a gag but lets out every last sound, not quite in Steve's voice, but flattened a little with a tinny edge, just like he *would* sound if he *were* a robot sex toy. And that's not even all of it. One of these days, he's going to learn to never underestimate Tony Stark.

The rest is below the cut!

BDSM: +9

Love it, love it, love it. Love bondage, love pain, love willing and eager submission.

Note: this rating applies to "normal" BDSM only. BDSM-AUs where everyone is born into a d/s role are actually a squick for me, and I'll generally only read if it's subverted or otherwise different.

Living on Your Breath by Sineala (@sineala) (Stony | Explicit | 110,343 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: The Avengers have faced Onslaught and come home. The team has assembled again. And Steve is finally together with Tony. They're in love. Everything is perfect. But this happiness is all too brief, as Tony is kidnapped by forces unknown. Steve rushes off to rescue Tony, only to find that Tony has been brainwashed and turned against him. Now Steve, captured and tortured by the man he loves, must sacrifice everything he has to stop Tony from becoming a monster. Their relationship will never be the same again... if they both get out of here alive.

Armor Kink: +9

I'm not even sure why. The bondage element? The intimacy of being fucked not by Tony, but by one of his creations? A soupçon of objectification? I do love fucking machines even when it's not the armor, but it's so much better when it's the armor.

Automated Fantasy by IOnlyWriteWhenCarmelyzed (Stony | Explicit | 1,711 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: Steve gets bent over by one of Tony's Iron Man suits

Sex Pollen: +10

I just want my blorbos to be forced into deeply contrived porn situations. I want them to have sex before they even like each other. Is that too much to ask?

Also I love dubcon. Sex pollen/sex magic does both magnificently.

All Is Good That Is Desired by Arch (@archouai) (James "Bucky" Barnes/Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers | Explicit | 12,920 words | No Archive Warnings Apply)

Summary: Steve gets drugged to the gills, and Peggy and Bucky have to deal with the fallout. Note: dubcon of the sex pollen variety, though it’s as consensual as sex pollen can get.

Noncon: +∞

Have I ever mentioned here that I came into the MCU fandom via Hydra Trash Party? I'd been a casual fan of the movies since The First Avenger but I didn't dive into fandom until I found out you guys had some top-notch rapefic.

This is the first ever MCU fanfic I remember reading (disclaimer: most of the noncon is in part 2 of the series):

Dragging You Down by AraniaArt, Kamiki (@araniaart, @shipperhipster) (Stucky | Explicit | 81,016 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: In a divergence from the canon storyline, Hydra experiments with occult legends of a more demonic bent. When Bucky is captured at Azzano, something more insidious than a knock-off super soldier serum is done to him, but the full effects take some time to completely set in. Bucky struggles with building impulses and an increased libido while trying to keep his interest in Steve from boiling over and ruining Steve’s chance at the life he deserves.

Somnophilia: +10/0

If Steve is the one asleep I will read the story. Full stop, end of sentence.

If someone else is asleep then it depends on the ship or scenario. This trope is very character/ship/dynamic dependent for me.

Exhausted by FestiveFerret (@festiveferret) (Stony | Explicit | 2,764 words | No Archive Warnings Apply)

Summary: “You going to sleep, love?” Tony asked, and Steve nodded. “You okay with keeping the collar on?” Tony knew Steve understood what he was asking for - as much as he knew how badly Steve wanted this.

Drunk sex: -2

You would think that with my love of dubcon and sex pollen I'd be into this, but no. Maybe it's too...real? Conventional?

Get back to me when it's aliens clouding their judgement.

I honestly have nothing. This fic is about alcoholism but there's no sex. That's the best I can do:

All of Your Lonely Sieges by WhenasInSilks (@whenas-in-silks) (Stony | Mature | 13,236 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: Steve and Tony are stranded in the wilderness. Things go downhill from there. The story of thirty-six hours.

Tentacles: +10

Yes please.

The Laboratory of Dr. Banner by Anonymous (Multi | Explicit | 24,187 words | Rape/Non-Con)

Summary: Peter goes exploring in Dr. Banner's lab and finds a little (alot) more than he bargained for. Tentacles. He finds tentacles.

Sexting: -5

Sexting in the context of a story is theoretically ok if it's hot enough, but tbh this isn't for me.

Sorry, all you get is regular-type texting for this one:

the texting romcom of two very confused nonagenarians by StuckySituation (Stucky | Teen And Up Audiences | 11,331 words | No Archive Warnings Apply)

Summary: Unknown Number: hey UN: i saw you on news UN: are you real? Steve: who are you? how did you get this number? UN: doesn’t matter UN: please answer Steve: no, i’m not real. of course i’m just your imagination UN: guessed so Steve: then why bother texting in the first place? UN: i don’t know UN: bye --- While on his way back from the mission, Winter Soldier sees Captain America on TV. He wants to know why he knows this man and why he is important. Enter one Steve Rogers who just wants to help this poor, confused man back to the dementia ward where he clearly belongs, plus one manipulative Hydra running a desperate interference to get their runaway asset back... and it all devolves into a roller coaster of disasters.

Daddy Kink: -8

An occasional "daddy" can be ok, but if it's prominent enough to tag then I'm out. I do not understand the appeal.

Under Duress by daphnomancy (Stony | Explicit | 6,925 words | Rape/Non-Con)

Summary: Programmed worry clouded Steve’s dead, grey eyes. His face made the expression genuine, but it wasn’t like it was during the day. The worry Steve wore when he accidentally spilled a glass of milk or was hearing about a new operation from Maria Hill looked almost like this. But his eyes were clear then, blue. The way they were supposed to be. They were different now. A fic commission where a very evil Tony develops a way to control Steve and use him however he wants, making him forget each time. Extreme non-con elements and angst.

Vampires and/or Werewolves: +7

This isn't even a kink thing for me I just like supernatural stories. Too much Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter at a formative age. I don't think they're especially sexy, but I do think they are interesting. Well, werewolves are interesting as long as they aren't too omegaverse-y.

Wait no, if Steve is being railed by a shifted werewolf I am there. I am seated.

I’ma Bite Your Feelings Out by blue_jack (@some-blue-jack) (Stony | Explicit | 4,174 words | No Archive Warnings Apply)

Summary: “I’m sorry, but we have to do what?” Steve asked, sure he’d misunderstood. “I said that someone needs to have sex with Tony,” Dr. Strange told him, sounding annoyed that he had to repeat himself, as if Tony weren’t currently a wolf, standing six feet tall at the shoulder. A little bit of clarification wasn’t too much to ask for.

Underage: 0

Doesn't really do much for me, but I won't reject a story just because half of the ship is underage.

Father's Disgrace, Lover's Embrace, The Cold We Brace by sweetNsimple (Stony | Explicit | 3,927 words | Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Underage)

Summary: “That's because only a real artist knows the actual anatomy of the terrible or the physiology of fear - the exact sort of lines and proportions that connect up with latent instincts or hereditary memories of fright, and the proper colour contrasts and lighting effects to stir the dormant sense of strangeness.” ~ 'Pickman's Model' by H.P. Lovecraft The blonde man of the two, the other brunette, looks up right into Tony's eyes. It's like ice, the man's stare, eyes so blue and clear. Like frosted windows. He smiles and Tony thinks of cold nibbling at his throat. The two men are closer, coming up against the security without even having drawn Howard's attention, and Tony knows, he knows that he needs to get up and tell his father about them. That something bad is going to happen if the two men get through. He stays right where he is and doesn't say a damn word.

Sexual Dysfunction: +1

Back when I had a twitter account I once posted that I would never go see a movie just because Patrick Wilson was in it, but I always enjoyed seeing him when he showed up.

That's how I feel about sexual dysfunction.

Choke You With My Charms by synteis (Stony | Explicit | 8,919 words | No Archive Warnings Apply)

Summary: Steve can't seem to help himself from jerking off at Tony's big do. Tony can't seem to get it up after the last round of chemo. But when Tony offers to take Steve in hand and give Steve's cock some old-fashioned punishment, neither of them are quite expecting what happens next.

Crossdressing Kink: nope

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The heart wants what it wants and my heart does not want this.

Non-Sexual Submission: +8

Yes please. All the...restfulness of sexual submission but in a friends dynamic. Love it. Finally people are writing stories specifically for my aroace ass.

Ground Me by vassalady (@vassalady) (Romanogers | Mature | 1,461 words | No Archive Warnings Apply)

Summary: When Steve needs to let go, he goes to Natasha, who takes care of him.

Cheating/Infidelity: -2

Ehhhhhh. There are some very solid infidelity fics (see below) but generally not my thing.

Heart And Body by redbluesilver (Steve/Rumlow, Stony | Explicit | 3,136 words | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings)

Summary: He knows it's not what he needs right now. But it feels good. It feels too good.

Tagging: Honestly I'm not sure which of my tumblr friends would want to fill this out. Not everyone wants to be horny on main (or anywhere) and I respect that. So, no pressure.

Backstory: okay so like you guys know who Failsafe was right? Amanda Waller (the bitch) turned him into her servant when Zur-En-Arrh (the other bitch) was deleted. Her, Failsafe, and the Brainiac Queen made a shit ton of these Amazo bots, based off the iconic Amazo android designed by Anthony Ivo. These bots were only designed to rid the world of Meta humans. Yes, I was one. Yes, I assisted Waller in her war against Metas. No, I do not agree with her ideologies. Us bots were used to drain the power from Metas, which somehow gave many of us sentience, compassion, and a copy of the ability we were draining. She found out, and enacted her own 'failsafe,' and set off a mass reboot. I happened to be disconected from the main frequency, and escaped this reboot. Hence why I am here now. I've learned to appriciate humanity in the 3 or so years I have been a part of it.

PRAGMATA details story, puzzle and action combat - Gematsu

Capcom has released new footage, screenshots, and information for PRAGMATA, introducing the game’s story and combat.

Get the details below.

Capcom Spotlight provided a more detailed look at PRAGMATA featuring new details about the game’s sci-fi story and the first extended footage of its unique action-packed gameplay.

PRAGMATA takes place in the near future. In the years since the discovery of Lunam Ore, humanity has developed Lunafilament, a material capable of replicating almost anything. One day without warning, Earth lost contact with the lunar research station dedicated to this Lunafilament, as all signals went dark. Today’s footage delves deeper into this out-of-this-world adventure. The journey follows Hugh Williams, who is dispatched to the moon as part of a team to investigate what happened. When a lunar quake suddenly strikes the facility, Hugh is separated from his team, injured, and knocked unconscious. In this moment, he’s rescued by an enigmatic Pragmata, a unique android created using Lunafilament, who has the appearance of a young girl. As the unlikely duo joins forces to fend off the station’s rampaging bots, Hugh nicknames his newfound companion “Diana,” and they embark on a mission to escape the lunar station and return to Earth.

In PRAGMATA, Hacking and shooting are at the core of gameplay. During combat, a panel will appear on screen while aiming at enemies. This represents Diana’s ability to hack into foes’ defenses. By maneuvering the cursor through this panel, she can take down their armor and provide openings for Hugh to blast enemy weak points with his arsenal of weapons. This system will challenge players to think on the fly to overcome multisided situations in the heat of battle. Exploration is also a team effort. Diana can utilize her Hacking abilities outside of combat to access the facility’s systems and remove environmental barriers that block progress. Meanwhile, Hugh can make use of his suit’s thrusters to traverse the lunar station’s terrain. By combining their skills and abilities, they can achieve feats that would be impossible alone. The official website for PRAGMATA is now fully open. Alongside new information about the game, the site includes a “Hacking Minigame” allowing players to experience part of the game’s unique combat system before PRAGMATA launches. Before then, the game will be playable at Gamescom 2025 and other events.

PRAGMATA is due out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam in 2026.

C-03-303: “The Fractured Martyrs” (Lobotomy Corp. x CCCC Fan Abnormality)

I’m back! And I’ve got something else for you!

Yet again, this one’s a crossover. A CCCC crossover, specifically. Hope you like it!

“We will be combined, wether that be dead or alive.”

The Fractured Martyrs are an Abnormality that can take many forms depending on their mood. However, the Abnormality tends to take three main forms, each belonging to a different identity they can take on.

The Fractured Martyrs-1 takes the form of a man with purple, angelic wings, wearing a black blindfold, sitting in the Containment Unit.

The Fractured Martyrs-2 takes the form of a partially-damaged android with piercing blue eyes, standing in the Containment Unit.

The Fractured Martyrs-3 takes the form of a man with a trident and hypnotic red eyes that stay shut until an employee enters the Containment Unit.

Basic Information

Risk Classification: ALEPH

Attack Type: Unknown (Red (-1) / White [-2] / Black {-3})

Max. E-Boxes: 30

Good Mood Range: 21-30

Neutral Mood Range: 11-20

Bad Mood Range: 0-10

Max. Qliphoth Counter: 3

Managerial Guidelines

1. The Abnormality has three states of being designated as The Fractured Martyrs-1, The Fractured Martyrs-2, and The Fractured Martyrs-3. These entities take on distinct personalities: as such, the Abnormality’s work preferences cannot be properly distinguished.

2. When Insight work was performed on The Fractured Martyrs-1, the state of the Abnormality changed to The Fractured Martyrs-2. The process was reversed upon performing Attachment work with The Fractured Martyrs-2.

3. When two or more Qliphoth Meltdowns occurred in the facility without the state of the Abnormality changing, the Qliphoth Counter lowered.

4. When an employee with III or less Temperance finished work with The Fractured Martyrs-1, the Qliphoth Counter lowered.

5. Subsequently, when an employee with III or less Prudence finished work with The Fractured Martyrs-2, the Qliphoth Counter lowered.

6. When the Qliphoth Counter became 1, the state of the Abnormality changed to The Fractured Martyrs-3.

7. When an employee got a Good Work Result with The Fractured Martyrs-3, the Qliphoth Counter raised. Subsequently, when the work result was Bad or Normal, the Qliphoth Counter lowered.

8. When all the Abnormality’s states breached at once, The Fractured Martyrs-3 voluntarily helped out with the suppression. However, after the two were both defeated, the Abnormality became hostile and required immediate suppression.

9. When The Fractured Martyrs-1 or The Fractured Martyrs-2 were defeated, they shrunk down to smaller forms and stopped moving. However, once both were suppressed, they began making their way towards The Fractured Martyrs-3.

10. The Manager must be very careful to suppress The Fractured Martyrs-3 before any contact is made between it and its other thirds.

Escape Information

The Heart Acoustic (The Fractured Martyrs-1: Breaching)

The Heart Acoustic in its breaching form takes the appearance of a large purple heart with a fanged mouth, enclosed by two purple rings lined with empty eye sockets. Floating just outside the rings are large violet bird wings.

It has 3000 HP and little movement speed, but will teleport to the healing room of a random department (that isn’t currently occupied by The Mind Electric) every time it loses 25% of its HP.

Wing Attack: The Heart Acoustic slaps a single target with one of its wings, dealing 20-30 Red damage with little cooldown.

Bite Attack: The Heart Acoustic bites a single target, dealing 25-40 Red damage with a medium cooldown.

AOE Attack: The Heart Acoustic lets out a shrill screech, making the room shake and dealing 30-50 White damage to all employees currently in the department with a long cooldown.

Red Defenses: 1.2

White Defenses: 0.8

Black Defenses: 1.7

Pale Defenses: 2.0

When it is defeated, it shrinks into Pathos Wisp, a small ball of purple smoke. It will not move until The Mind Electric is defeated and shrinks into Logos Wisp, at which point it will slowly move towards The Soul Eclectic.

The Mind Electric [The Fractured Martyrs-2: Breaching]

The Mind Electric takes the form of a large blue eye with a rhombus-shaped pupil, surrounded by glowing “eyelashes”. Protruding from its back is a spine-like limb with a mace on its tip.

It has 3000 HP and little movement speed, but will teleport to the healing room of a random department (that isn’t currently occupied by The Heart Acoustic) every time it loses 25% of its HP.

Sanity Attack: Its pupil slits as it stares at a single target, dealing 15-20 White damage with little cooldown.

Laser Attack: Its eye and eyelashes glow as it fires a short laser beam at a single target, dealing 20-35 White damage with a medium cooldown.

Mace Attack: With a few seconds charging up, it slams its mace onto a small group of targets, dealing 35-50 Red damage with a long cooldown.

Red Defenses: 0.7

White Defenses: 1.4

Black Defenses: 1.4

Pale Defenses: 2.0

When it is defeated, it shrinks into Logos Wisp, a small ball of blue electricity. It will not move until The Heart Acoustic is defeated and shrinks into Pathos Wisp, at which point it will slowly move towards The Soul Eclectic.

The Soul Eclectic {The Fractured Martyrs-3: Breaching}

The Soul Eclectic looks mostly the same as in its Containment Unit, except wearing rusted armour under its cloak and wielding a trident.

It has 9000 HP and average movement speed. It will focus its efforts on attacking The Heart Acoustic and The Mind Electric until they are both suppressed, upon which it will teleport to the central room of a random department (not occupied by Pathos or Logos Wisp), and attack all entities that attempt to suppress it.

Trident Attack (Blunt): It attacks a single target with the blunt side of its trident. Deals 15-20 Black damage with little cooldown.

Trident Attack (Tines): It attacks a single target with the prongs of its trident. Deals 25-30 Black damage with a medium cooldown.

Red Attack: With a few seconds charging up, it throws its trident at a group of targets, dealing 20-35 Red damage to all of them with a long cooldown.

White Attack: With a few seconds charging up, it drives its trident into the ground, dealing 40-50 White damage to the whole room with a long cooldown.

Red Defenses: 0.7

White Defenses: 0.7

Black Defenses: 1.6

Pale Defenses: 2.0

If its HP reaches 1000 before The Heart Acoustic and The Mind Electric have been suppressed, it starts rapidly healing until it reaches 4500.

If one Wisp reaches it while it’s attacking Agents, its colour changes to either purple or blue, it either grows wings or dons a crown, and its health increases by 4500. If both Wisps successfully reach it, a cutscene will play in which it momentarily transforms into a man wearing a half black, half tan jacket.

It grins, its head tilted down towards the floor, before suddenly its body beings glitching, and a shockwave engulfs the facility as they, once again, split. The Fractured Martyr-3 is immediately knocked unconscious, as the SP of 75% of the Agents in the facility immediately drops to 0.

Story

The Abnormality takes the form of a humanoid figure in the Containment Unit. The appearance of this humanoid figure differs depending on the identity of its current host.

It identifies itself as three separate entities trapped within the same body, and all information gathered about the Abnormality backs up this claim. Each are capable of taking control of the body at certain predictable intervals.

—

The first of these identities: C-03-303-1, or “The Heart”, makes the body grow wings and don a blindfold whenever he takes control of it.

He identifies himself as the emotional side of the three. He claims to be blind, though no one has seen what is beneath the blindfold while he is taking control, and his refusal to cooperate with Agents means that his claim cannot be confirmed.

The Heart has expressed a great distrust for the company and all employees within it. He may attempt to attack those who he believes pose a threat to him, though he can easily be fought off with a decent EGO weapon. Despite this, Agents must try their very best to ensure that no physical or emotional harm is done to him as to not aggravate him.

He has shown symptoms of many mental illnesses, including paranoia, but can warm up to Agents if they show him enough kindness. He has also shown symptoms of mood swings, as there have been multiple occasions where he has violently lashed out at an Agent that he believes wishes to cause him harm, only to profusely apologise and beg for forgiveness the next time the Agent works on him.

It is also believed that he may suffer from depression and anxiety. He seems to have, to an extent, a low self-esteem, but not the point where he disregards his self-worth as the emotional third. And above all, he expresses a great hatred for The Mind.

—

C-03-303-2, or “The Mind”, makes the body transform into a humanoid android when he takes control.

He identifies himself as the logical side of the three, and expresses a great hatred for The Heart, calling his mood swings pitiful and unnecessary.

Out of the three, The Mind is by far the most willing to cooperate with Agents, though still cautious of them. He has regularly expressed an interest in the Containment Unit’s mechanisms, though Agents are advised to share as little information as possible and to lie if necessary.

However, he has displayed intelligence on a level considerably greater than the other two personalities, and despite our best efforts, has figured out some of the Containment Unit’s mechanisms all by himself [though Agents must be careful never to let him know his deductions are correct].

He even claims to be able to unlock the door and leave containment at any time, though he’s never demonstrated this supposed ability simply because he knows the company doesn’t want him to.

The Mind regularly assists Agents in their work, specifically Insight work, although it’s suspected that it’s mainly to learn more about the Unit. He has also expressed an interest in being promoted to an Agent himself, saying he “could easily accomplish in 20 minutes what would take a whole department 2 hours”.

While there is little doubt that this is likely the case given his hyper-intelligence and status as a particularly powerful Abnormality, the existence of his other two identities has resulted in this idea being shot down as quickly as he brings it up.

—

C-03-303-3, or “The Soul”, makes the body transform into a man wearing causal wear hidden under a brown cloak when he takes control. He wields a glowing red trident which he can summon at will: the exact capabilities of it are unknown, but he has been seen using it to manipulate matter on multiple occasions.

He refers to himself as the “host” of the three, calling the other two parasites doing as they please within his head.

He generally distrusts Agents, though he tends to be more trustful of those who pretend to be willing to help him “become Whole”: a desire he expresses regularly, which he cannot reach apparently due to The Heart and The Mind’s constant fighting.

Aside from that, The Soul has also expressed a desire to leave, repeatedly insisting that they aren’t an Abnormality and acting particularly aggressive towards any Agent who challenges them on this point.

He is the least regularly seen of the three, typically appearing after repeated agitation from both Heart and Mind. As such, little data has been collected about him. However, Heart and Mind talk about him rather often. They are both sympathetic towards Soul and try their best to please him, claiming that his mental state is slowly deteriorating.

Despite this, the relationship between the two and Soul doesn’t appear to be positive. Mind refrains from talking about him for too long, preferring to focus on the task at hand, whereas Heart may express something close to fear of him depending on the topic.

We can only be sure of one thing: no matter the situation, The Soul must be approached with extreme caution to prevent further unnecessary death.

—

None of the employees really know where Abnormalities come from.

It’s said that not all of them began as Abnormalities, though nobody really knows whether this theory is true, and if it is, clearly it isn’t in all cases.

If there were any of true, normal origin, however, my guess is that The Fractured Martyrs are most definitely one of those ones. They act too human to have come from anywhere else.

I’ve only worked with them a few times, but I’m certain of that, from what I’ve seen from them. The whole “three people sharing a body” thing aside, they seem too… normal in casual conversation.

There’s no such thing as a truly normal Abnormality, however.

I began overseeing work with them after the death of my upperclassman. We call it the Trident Incident, and it’s kind of taboo to mention around here.

After all, who knew that such a complacent- if unusual and fairly stressed- Abnormality could cause the death of five people, including a Level V Agent with ALEPH-class EGO, so easily?

When The Fractured Martyr breached, it happened with zero warning: in fact, they seemed to knock the door straight off its hinges. Natsuki did her best to fight him off, but the blast still did a number on her spine: and unfortunately, the first people in the department other than myself to react to the blast were all clerks and low-ranking Agents.

It all happened so suddenly, and I don’t know why, but I froze up. I disobeyed the Manager’s orders and just watched. Ultimately, though, that cowardice might have saved my life. By the time Natsuki finally went down, the hallway was covered in red, bodies were littering the floor, and Soul looked like he was barely even scratched.

I heard footsteps as some of my more experienced colleagues arrived on the scene, but as soon as he realised they were there, Mind took control and just… nonchalantly walked back into containment.

Apparently, my status as the Trident Incident’s only survivor in the department made the Manager think I was a good replacement for her. Exactly why, I have no idea, but I didn’t care. All I wanted was answers. Natsuki was a well-respected Agent who’d been working in the company for far longer than I had: and she had worked with The Fractured Martyrs dozens of times before and they had no problems with her, even enjoyed her company, so what happened?

Luckily, the first time I stepped in that door, Mind was willing to clear up my confusion. That day, the day she was killed, Natsuki was working on Soul. Due to how rarely Soul takes control of the body, this was one of the first times she had worked on him.

As usual, he was talking about fusing himself with the other two to make himself “Whole” once more: taking back what rightfully belonged to him, and putting an end to the “dissonance”.

But she didn’t agree that that was right. Natsuki was a kind Agent, kinder than the company deserved, and when she heard all this talk of fusing with the others once and for all, she thought it was essentially killing them. She told Soul it was a good fate he had, to be stuck for the rest of eternity with people who cared about him so much.

He didn’t like that response. Of course he didn’t. After all, how would you react to being told the “parasites” taking control of your body were people too, and deserved to live just as much as you did?

Or at least, that was probably the way he saw things, because eventually he got so agitated that he broke down the door and painted the corridor red in a fit of rage that couldn’t have lasted longer than a minute, but took the lives of five people.

After that, Heart and Soul started acting more aggressive towards Agents, calling them traitors for opposing the one thing that would fix all their problems. Mind, as usual, called Heart’s grudge against the company petty, but doesn’t seem to hold it against Soul that much.

And to this day, Soul has shown no signs of remorse for the damage done during the Trident Incident.

I’m beginning to doubt whether a way out is even possible for him, though I’d never say that to his face or to any of their faces. Don’t want to suffer the same fate as Natsuki, after all.

Soul is obsessed with the idea that a way to make himself normal again is possible. But every time he comes close, all it ultimately does is make things worse than they used to be.

And from what we can infer, it’s been this way for a long time. Still there’s been no luck, and still he doesn’t give up hope. The others suffer for it, sure, but he shows no remorse. Innocent people suffer for it, but still he shows no remorse.

He’ll go to any lengths necessary to stop the fighting between Heart and Mind, to “fix” himself, and he’ll more than likely take this whole facility down for the sake of it.

Sorry if the damage outputs during the Escape Info feels unrealistic! I’m not very good at that. Anyways, this was a whole lotta writing and I’m running on a bit of a tight schedule today (for once), so… I’m done now!

You just got an old car and it doesn't have Bluetooth. You can only buy 7 CDs and you can't repeat an artist. What are you getting?

So much fun, @bangpop91 says!

This was stressful!

But then I remembered it’s for a car; not a deserted island. I spend on average 0 hrs per day in a car.

And *then* I remembered it’s a tag game, not a contract; and had the potential to be So Much Fun 😝

Kaliteli Uyku için Uyku Hesaplama Nasıl Yapılır?

Kaliteli bir uyku için uyku hesaplama, ne zaman yatıp kalkman gerektiğini belirleyerek uyku döngülerini optimize etmeyi amaçlar. Uyku döngüleri yaklaşık 90 dakika sürer ve genellikle 5-6 döngü (7-9 saat) sağlıklı bir uyku için önerilir. İşte kaliteli uyku için uyku hesaplama adımları ve detaylı rehber:

1. Uyku İhtiyacını Belirle

Yetişkinler: Ortalama 7-9 saat uyku önerilir (Ulusal Uyku Vakfı). Ancak bireysel ihtiyaçlar değişebilir (bazıları için 6 saat yeterken, bazıları 10 saat isteyebilir).

Yaşa Göre:

Yeni doğanlar (0-3 ay): 14-17 saat

Çocuklar (6-13 yaş): 9-11 saat

Gençler (14-17 yaş): 8-10 saat

Yaşlılar (65+): 7-8 saat

Kendi İhtiyacını Test Et: Bir hafta boyunca alarm kurmadan uyuyarak doğal uyanma saatinizi gözlemleyin. Ortalama uyku süreniz ihtiyacınızı gösterir.

2. Uyku Döngülerini Anla

Her uyku döngüsü (REM ve non-REM evreleri dahil) yaklaşık 90 dakika sürer.

Bir gecede 5-6 döngü (7,5-9 saat) tamamlamak idealdir.

Neden Önemli?: Döngünün ortasında uyanmak (örneğin, derin uyku evresinde) yorgun hissettirir. Döngü sonunda uyanmak daha zinde hissettirir.

3. Uyku Hesaplama Yöntemi

Uyku hesaplaması, kalkman gereken saate veya yatmak istediğin saate göre yapılır. Aşağıda iki yöntem var:

A. Kalkış Saatine Göre Yatma Saati Hesaplama

Adım 1: Sabah kaçta kalkman gerektiğini belirle (örneğin, 07:00).

Adım 2: 7,5-9 saat geriye git (5-6 döngü). Ortalama 8 saat alalım:

07:00 - 8 saat = 23:00 (yatış saati).

Adım 3: Uykuya dalma süresi (ortalama 10-20 dakika) ekle:

23:00 - 15 dakika = 22:45 (yatağa girme saati).

Örnek:

Kalkış: 07:00

Yatma: 22:45 (8 saat uyku için) veya 23:15 (7,5 saat için).

B. Yatış Saatine Göre Kalkış Saati Hesaplama

Adım 1: Yatağa gireceğin saati belirle (örneğin, 23:00).

Adım 2: Uykuya dalma süresi ekle (örneğin, 15 dakika): 23:15.

Adım 3: 5-6 döngü (7,5-9 saat) ekle:

5 döngü: 23:15 + 7,5 saat = 06:45.

6 döngü: 23:15 + 9 saat = 08:15.

Örnek:

Yatış: 23:00

Kalkış: 06:45 (5 döngü) veya 08:15 (6 döngü).

4. Online Uyku Hesaplama Araçları

Manuel hesaplama yerine şu ücretsiz araçları kullanabilirsin:

Sleep Calculator (sleepcalculator.com): Kalkış veya yatış saatine göre ideal zamanları önerir.

Sleepyti.me: Basit bir arayüzle döngüleri hesaplar.

Uygulamalar: Sleep Cycle, Pillow (iOS/Android). Uyku takibi yapar ve en uygun uyanma zamanını önerir.

Nasıl Kullanılır?:

Kalkış saatinizi girin (örneğin, 07:00).

Araç, 90 dakikalık döngüleri dikkate alarak yatış saatlerini listeler (örneğin, 22:15, 23:45).

Türkçe destekli uygulamalar için Sleep Cycle’ı deneyin.

5. Kaliteli Uyku İçin Ek İpuçları

Hesaplama kadar uyku ortamı ve alışkanlıklar da önemlidir:

Düzenli Uyku Rutini:

Her gün aynı saatte yatıp kalk. Hafta sonları bile ±1 saat içinde kal.

Uykuya Hazırlık:

Yatmadan 1 saat önce ekranları (telefon, TV) bırak. Mavi ışık uykuyu geciktirir.

Ilık duş, meditasyon veya kitap okuma gibi rahatlatıcı aktiviteler yap.

Ortam Optimizasyonu:

Oda sıcaklığı 16-20°C olsun.

Karanlık ve sessiz bir ortam yarat (karartma perde, kulak tıkacı kullan).

Rahat bir yatak ve yastık seç.

Beslenme ve Alışkanlıklar:

Yatmadan 2-3 saat önce kafein, alkol ve ağır yemeklerden kaçın.

Hafif bir atıştırmalık (örneğin, muz, badem) uykuya yardımcı olabilir.

Egzersiz: Günde 30 dakika hareket et, ama yatmadan 3 saat önce ağır egzersiz yapma.

6. Örnek Uyku Planı

Senaryo: İşe gitmek için sabah 07:00’de kalkman gerekiyor.

Hedef: 8 saat uyku (5,5 döngü, ~8 saat).

Hesaplama:

Kalkış: 07:00.

Yatma: 07:00 - 8 saat = 23:00.

Uykuya dalma (15 dakika): 23:00 - 15 = 22:45.

Rutin:

22:00: Telefonu bırak, kitap oku.

22:30: Ilık duş al.

22:45: Yatağa gir.

07:00: Zinde uyan!

Alternatif: 7,5 saat uyku için 23:15’te yatağa gir.

When does Michael Graham's body get reported to the police?

Connor estimates he died around 6:24 PM;

Connor is at the Zen Garden at 7:51 PM (Russian Roulette start) and Amanda gives him the report few minutes after;

Connor arrives at Hank's house at an unknown time and can say to Hank the report was made 43 minutes before;

Connor and Hank arrive at the club around 8:17 PM;

The assumption is it's a time between 6:30 PM and 7:51 PM. Life would be so much easier if we knew when exactly Connor arrived at Hank's house neither where he was while in the garden, but i'm pretty sure ain't more than 8 PM and no less than 7:51 PM itself.

If i had to take distance in consideration then indeed they left the house no later than 8 PM.

Connor usually stays at the station, but for him to not hear of the Graham's body report at all while there he [1] wasn't at the station at all or [2] was in idle the entire time without capturing anything surrounding him - if we, ofc, consider Amanda gives him the report far after it's really made and confirmed android involvement. But the way she acts it's like Amanda has just received info.

The issue is if he was at the station while on the garden, he'd have to arrive at Hank's house in less than 10 minutes for my assumption to work, which is highly unlikely even using a Taxi unless in DBH's universe traffic jam ain't a major issue and we got high speed vehicles. So maybe he wasn't at the station at all?

There's absolutely 0 reason for him to be going to Hank's house while on the garden since Amanda is the one who orders him to look for Hank, so it's improbable he was already in the way.

Doing a rough math using both the time he receives the report and the time he arrives at Hank's, i'd say:

19h51m - 43m = 19h08m

19h55 - 43m = 19h12m

20h00m - 43m = 19h17m

If i use Graham's death estimation we also have:

18h24m + 43m = 19h07m

That would let me with a time 10 minutes interval (19:07 to 19:17). If i had to consider DBH's issues with timeline then i'd say 19:51 and closer time is a better probability, meaning Graham's body was likely not reported after 19:15. But don't ask me how much time to relate it to a sus android involved case (where Hank and Connor must be called), considering Ben and Gavin were already there it was probably reported as a common death until Ben and Gavin set is as android related (likely cuz of the broken android) and had to pass things to Hank and Connor.

Why?

Cuz Floyd was very concerned with losing his license, what tells me that if one of his androids were "defective" or something to do with the guy's death it could mean trouble. So he likely just called the emergency like "oh, there's this dude here at the Eden Club and he probably had a heart attack".
