#Convergen

[kythriscourierseberron]

I would say I was sorry about making us travel up to the opposite end of the city to rescue Aena, My uncle, the area of Sharn with Aereni elves and mi abuello...I would say that... But we are making good progress, and now that Aena is safe I can feel a massive weight off my shoulders..

A weight I will gladly chain on that gnomes ankles when we drop her off the Skyway

Dear Gods the fights have been going.

We saved our friend, Aena, from a planar-imbued living chess game, and then proceeded to fight drug-induced hallucinations come to life. We have… four more places left to help save, and then we shall kill that horrific noblewoman responsible for all of this (yes, Aurea Ocular ir’Korran, we know that it’s you). I do trust that Apollo, Luca, Blue, TAS, and Flamewind can hold their own until we get there, but my gods this is nerve wracking.

Day 54: Convergent lady beetle

Their larvae are cool.

if I keep fucking around with brushes I’ll figure out how to use these things eventually, right?

i photographed the exact moment that this ladybug got too anxious about the presence of my giant human hands and camera, and threw down their snack of aphid (and directly scurried off).

Bueno, casi una semana después del aniversario de "Más fuerte que tú"/ "Stronger than you" de Steven Universe. Me veo en la obligación de decir esto pq es ahora o nunca.

Me cansan las personas que salen con su cuento de que *** "Garnet no es un mecha controlado x Rubí o Zafiro" *** cada vez que uno quiere decir "este comportamiento de Garnet se parece a algo que haría Rubí/Zafiro" porque muchas veces uno no se refiere a "Jajaja, obviamente Rubí/Zafiro está al mando en este momento" sino como "efectivamente, se nota que es hija de sus madres" pq ajá, Garnet claramente es su propio ser, pero no salió de una mata de mango, obviamente tiene que tener características de las personas que la crearon/formaron, tal como pasaría con una persona de carne y hueso.

PARKINSONIA CONVERGENS Fossil Ammonite – Zigzag Zone, Bajocian, Jurassic – Burstock Lane, Broadwindsor, Dorset, UK

About the Fossil:

This exceptionally preserved Parkinsonia convergens ammonite fossil originates from the Zigzag Zone, Convergens Subzone of the Bajocian stage (~170 million years ago) of the Middle Jurassic and was discovered in Burstock Lane, Broadwindsor, Dorset, United Kingdom. Parkinsonia is a genus of evolute ammonites, characterized by its strong ribbing, well-defined whorls, and distinctive suture patterns, making it a desirable fossil for collectors and researchers.

During the Middle Jurassic, ammonites like Parkinsonia convergens thrived in warm, shallow marine environments, where they were active swimmers, preying on small marine organisms. The Zigzag Zone, Convergens Subzone is a significant stratigraphic marker within the Inferior Oolite Formation, which is renowned for its diverse and well-preserved ammonite faunas.

¡Hola! Soy yo otra vez. ¿Cómo estás? Espero que estés bien. ………………………………………………🦦……………………………................... ¿Recuerdas que me dijiste que si necesitaba tu apoyo, estarías aquí? Bueno, estoy escribiendo un fanfic. La trama se desarrolla básicamente después del final del juego, donde MC escapa (aún no sé si con Doble o con Haley🤔). Ray conoce a mi personaje principal, que es ciega, con una condición que le hace ver borroso👁👮‍♂️, pero puede ver bien los colores. A pesar de esto, se desenvuelve bien y tiene una habilidad que le permite conectar sensorialmente con su entorno. "Siente" el espacio como una extensión de sí misma a través de sus otros sentidos, que se amplifican. Ambos se conocen de una manera extraña que involucra a un gatito y mi OC (su nombre es Alma💖) ayudando a Ray con una herida durante su "trabajo nocturno contra el crimen", sin que ella lo sepa porque no estaba lo suficientemente cerca para sentirlo, pero Ray estaba lo suficientemente cerca de él para notar que estaba herido, todo un malentendido XD, pero se encuentran y Ray no la mata porque ella es básicamente inofensiva y no se dio cuenta de lo que pasó^3^.

Durante la creación de la historia, he planteado que, a través de la experiencia previa de Ray con MC, esta vez no busca ser amado, al menos no románticamente. Probablemente esté deprimido☔, pero aún busca conectar con otro ser humano que lo haga sentir humano. Por eso, esta vez Ray intenta ser más paciente y no estar tan desesperado por conectar. Lo curioso son los pequeños puntos en los que ambos convergen, y que Alma es una persona que luchó durante muchos años con una enfermedad que le quitó la visión, pero ahora, más adulta, con experiencia y más sabia, vive en paz consigo misma. Parte de su sabiduría y forma de ser podrían hacer que Ray empiece a perder el miedo, a resistir, a perdonarse e incluso a mejorar para empezar a sanar, aunque sea poco a poco. Alma es una mujer que ha pasado por muchas cosas intentando compensar lo que podría disfrutar después. Hizo mucho, pero es solo ahora que siente que aún queda algo por lo que vivir; ya no piensa en eso. Me gustaría pensar que si alguien (como mi OC🌟) lo tratara como a otro ser humano, lo escuchara, lo comprendiera, pero no lo justificara, le enseñaría que lo que importa es lo que él elige ser a pesar de todo, que con paciencia y guía, puede perdonarse y redimirse, porque el perdón no siempre se trata de ser "absuelto" por la persona a la que lastimaste, sino de aprender a ser mejor, demostrando así que el arrepentimiento está ahí y que las acciones son importantes para sanar.💔

¿Qué opinas? Aún está en desarrollo, pero… quiero entender un poco mejor el personaje de Ray para integrarlo bien en la historia.

De todos modos, mucho texto XD. sorry ☠

How do you think Ray would be with a blind MC/OC? This is so I have an outside perspective to help guide me.

Do you think Ray would like tea, painting, or making ceramics? In fact, my oc does those things lol

How would Ray react if his son liked fictional heroes like Batman, Flash, Iron Man, etc.?

If present-day Ray met a teenager who strangely resembled him and claimed to be his son from the future, how would he react? Given that it's true and the son has some way to prove it, like a time machine or the ability to travel to the past and future (It reminds me of Five from Umbrella Academy lol)

If MC told Ray that he prefers Ray's natural hair color, would he leave it natural? How would he prevent it from being bleached? I find it funny how NAHA would react too.

If MC somehow had a relative who was also a hero, what would Ray do when he met him? Pretending he's a hero from another country to make him more interesting.

Ray reacting to an MC with British English. He's like, he speaks English, but sometimes his British accent comes out, and it's like he suddenly can't understand what he's saying. lol.

Creo que eso es todo por hoy. Me alegra mucho que hayas respondido a mi pregunta anterior. Por cierto, dejé un comentario y espero que te vaya bien. ¡Adiós!🌹💕

hola, amiga/amigo mi espanol esta oxidada. 😅Lo seinto. Me encanta la historia que tienes hasta ahora. Me gusta que la historia no sea intrínsecamente romántica. En cambio, hay una acumulación de sentimientos y una mayor carga emocional. La verdad es que Ray necesita ese tipo de ayuda. A alguien que lo ayude a superarlo. Que lo ayude a aprender a perdonarse a sí mismo. Utilicé alguna traducción para esto ya que no confío completamente en mi español. 😭

Ray would take nurturing role in the story. He’d almost be like a mother. Doing things for them, taking care of them. Making sure they go to appointments and have meds if they take them. Since your M/C takes in the world around her through other people by feeling that space. He will do that. Will be that person when they need it.

Ray has never had time for those kinds of things so he would have no experience with that. However I do think he’d like tea. Painting and ceramics take time, I think those activities would make him feel…wrong. He’s too stationary. He’d feel like he has to be doing something else. He is so used to being on the move that when he’s given that much time to do something like that. It’s hard to do. Granted, I feel he could learn to like those things. He’s definitely a culinary kind of guy and making art that way. However, oddly enough, I could see him doing carving. Like some wood carving. Idk why, but that feels like it could be something he likes. It’s not stationary, he only makes small things like small animals but, the details give him something to focus on and he can walk around while he does it. In an off note, if Ray was a free man, he’d definitely be the type to have a cabin in the woods. Alone and content. Living off the land. He could be that type. (Anyway, moving on.)

Ray wouldn’t mind his son liking those things. The child can choose, honestly it might even be better that way. It always kind of weirds him out looking at toy versions of his hero self. Especially when they are chewed on.

Holy, that would be wild! Man would be in shock. He wouldn’t know what to do. The very thought that he actually managed to have a kid? That someone loved him enough to have a child with him. To love him enough to bring a child into this world. Ray also has a perception on time travel, he’d be like, “you aren’t supposed to be here.” Cause who knows what could happen with unsafe time travel.

You like his natural hair, done. Ray clearly stopped the NAHA from bleaching his hair more in recent time and years. So, he’ll just keep working at it. Once it’s long enough, he’ll cut his hair. He might even get the James Sunderland cut to get rid of that blonde for good. 😌 personally, I love the grown in roots hair look BUT, I love Rays original, default setting hair color.

Hm, Ray will be polite, this hero is your family after all. So, if he cares for you he’ll care for your family. That’s about it, plain and simple. Unless your family suck then he’ll be a bit sassy to them.

The British accent and slang He’ll be like. “You what?” 😂 “okay. Repeat that but slower. Please.” That would be funny.

Lo siento por el texto, lo vi, pero como dije, he estado ocupado y no me siento bien. ¡Lo haré esta noche! ¡Lo prometo! ❤️

Lluvia forma parte del libro Gotán (1962), una de las obras más representativas del autor, en la que convergen la militancia política, el lirismo y la experimentación lingüística con la oralidad porteña. El poema evoca la memoria, la pérdida y la persistencia del deseo en medio de una melancolía profundamente urbana.

Un abismo de poesías,

de sensaciones infinitas

que convergen en mi corazón,

de emociones

que fluyen y refluyen,

sabiendo que siempre

su significado quedará

In a universe where so many thoughts converge, one must be certain which are one's own and which are those of others, without forgetting that they can also be changed if and only if desired.

En un universo donde tantos pensamientos convergen se debe tener la certeza de cuáles son los propios y cuáles los ajenos, sin olvidar que también se pueden cambiar sí y sólo sí se desea.
