random/irrelevant question but do you know whether nikita was right handed or left handed?

Judging by the way Nikita holds everything, his right hand is the dominant one.

• Pic 1. For right-handed guitar players, the right hand typically handles strumming or picking, while the left hand takes care of fretting. • Pic 2. The computer mouse is located on the right side of the table. The lamp is on the left side of the table (if he were left-handed, he'd block the light with his hand).

As for Artyom, there's a short clip where he signs the documents. He is right-handed.

Things that happened in Penacony:

Aventurine gave Trailblazer his room

Acheron said Aventurine had the look of a desperate man making an all-in gamble

Ratio said the Family has taken Aven’s cash and power stones

The implication being that when Aventurine had nothing else, he used the room to gamble for Trailblazer’s assistance. It was the last and only thing he had left. It appears to be a gamble that pays off.

So where is Aventurine staying?

And they were roommates! For the time being, at least.

Other things that happened in Penacony:

Aventurine talks to Sparkle in the dream Golden Hour

March mentions seeing a suspicious alabaster head man in the dream

The room contains one (1) dreaming tub.

Who’s in it?

Ok but could y'all imagine the absolute chaos if Ganondorf actually could take care of both Power and Warriors? I mean, they'd probably bring out each other's gremlin side, and then there'd be sibling dynamics like this.

Wars: Ok, if you truly want to embody the essence of being a Hero, you need to learn how to deflect better when he's interrogating you. Power: Wars: For example, if you're injured and you know you need to keep going, but he'll immediately shut that down, then you have to be able to deflect! If he asks if you're hurt, you could just say no, but it's better not to outright lie. He'll see right through that. Ganondorf, entering, glancing at Power: Have you eaten? Power: The captain hasn't. Wars: Wars: WAIT A MINUTE--

I have to hope something changes with regards to the new penalty system.

I do not want to have a championship decided over things that had nothing to do with what happened on track. Like imagine someone winning just because their competition made a political statement of solidarity(or the FIA thought they did) or accidentally cursed in a press con, or said something the FIA didn't like the tone of.

Like we have enough going on with penalties for on track behavior, and as unfair as those might seem, at least it's over things that have happened on track during a race that impact the final results. This introduces something where a driver could easily lose points over nothing to do with on track performance. And it seems that is intended because of the 2 year limit, means that it will be easy for anyone to reach that threshold.

I can't imagine teams will stand for this either, how do you even coach a driver on what to say when saying too much or too little could piss off the FIA. It's constantly walking on eggshells and hoping for the best.

Given the rushed nature of the rules it's clear this is another blow in the current version of the battle between FIA and drivers. So not it's up to the teams and drivers to respond.

freaks me out that people call celeborn teleporno for many reasons

It sounds stupid

there’s linguistic inconsistencies with ‘silver’ as ‘telep’ in quenya and as ‘telpe’ (ex. tyelkormo, tyelperinquar, telperion)

he’s Moriquendi so he has no quenyan name

Did I mention it sounds stupid

I appreciate q!Bagi stating that q!Phil acting like this isn't normal, and emphasizing to his kids that that man who was yelling at them and all that other shit wasn't truly their father. Bagi and Phil aren't not super close or anything, but she knows him just enough that how he has been acting is nothing like she has seen from him before, and she can tell that something is off.

Love how The Red Bell's Lament has the little pinboard with the strings between the characters to represent when you're shifting to someone else's perspective. Truly representative of my state of mind while playing this game

I have returned to continue the series that I most certainly did not almost forget about! But it's only been five days you say. Well, what can I say?

We continue with ............ *drum roll please*:

Val Montemer

Pear, Grapefruit, and Leather.

Mx Val was supposed to be simple. I laid out a few options that I felt fit as I was looking into perfumes and essential oils, but the put together actually took more time than I expected [hence why I skipped Kendis and Pierre to go to Val because they were supposed to be simple!]

It was clear to me that I wanted Leather from the beginning, both because of the motorcycles tune up love and the constant wearing of leather jackets. But Leather perfume/scents were often associated with 'sophistication'. But Mx. 'I love fairs and free stuff' and 'I could live off artificially-flavored candy and fruit loops' isn't exactly who I would describe as 'a sophisticate'. Over Nate's dead body. Undead body? So for a while I considered ginger to step in as the more 'pungent' scent. Though Ginger is paired with having a 'refreshing' vibe, I always felt the scent was ... 'spicy'. And not spicy as in hot, but there's a certain kick to your senses that you get when you spell or consume ginger. [Making the title of being 'an adventurous scent' make perfect sense.]

Then, I was like you know what, I really do want leather and I don't think ginger works quite as well ... because though Val does cause trouble, I don't think they're quite spicy. This is why I kept letter and also tacked in Peppermint. Peppermint didn't kick as hard as ginger, it tingled and tickled. I also liked it because it has calming anxieties and inferiority complexes -- fitting for someone who has both, in a sense. And as a tingly scent, even when it stops tickling our nose it still lingers [like Val on Adam’s mind~]. And Peppermint is also seen as a scent with "an adventurous" vibe. Maybe because it adds 'invigorating and dynamic' notes to other scents it mixes with.

Alas, even Peppermint fell [even though I really do think it was near perfect], because the scent of 'pear' captivated me. You could say, as a concept and a scent, it bewitched me body and soul:

Pear: Though, far from spicy and tingly, Pear is stated to have a 'slightly tart' scent. And, for me, pears have a ... I don't know how to describe it, but a sort of low-key sweetness that sort of kicks you in the back of your throat. Sometimes it can be too sickly sweet -- which kind of makes me think of how some cereals can be. Val like cereal so pear is clearly perfect ;-D. [Both, at least for me, have a residue ... that after taste, and that too is Val x Adam. To me.] Pear also mixes well with the other two scents -- though, termed as a 'sophisticated' scent when paired with leather, I did like the way it brought out the muskier aspects of leather and grapefruit seems to heighten the refreshing scent of pear. But I particularly liked how pear was described as a peculiar, distinguishable scent but also comforting. Maybe brings mind of spring evenings as pears start to bud, maybe it is the thought of an idyllic summer twilight where you share a peach with the one you love. Anyway, I liked that as a description to how I saw Val as slightly odd but surprisingly responsible [where it matters].

Grapefruit: I got a lot of citrus scents recommended to me via quizzes, and as I was reading I felt they fit as well, for Val. Particularly lemon, bergamot, and just citrus in general. They worked of course because citruses are seen as a zesty, energetic scent. Marked even as 'fresh' and 'green'. In a metaphorical sense, green worked because Val is the youngest of my detectives and I wouldn't be surprised if they were the youngest in their play through. I settled on grapefruit because, I felt it to be uncommon -- people tend to be more familiar in using lemons, limes, and oranges in their food and scents/oils seem to focus on bergamot, neroli, oranges, and lemons. I didn't see a lot of grapefruit, I felt that separation from the pack ... the belonging yet not fit Val. But more than that, I've seen many say grapefruit is a citrus that they like least or not at all. Like Val, it is an acquired taste :-D. There are plenty of reasons why I liked grapefruit - as you can see, and not least of all for the descriptors of 'lively, 'vitality', 'fresh', 'tangy', 'slightly bitter' - but it was described as a 'unisex' scent. Pear seemed often noted to lean as a 'feminine' sent and Leather mentioned often as a 'masculine'. I liked the idea pair of being both the combining link but also distinctly either or, neither nor.

Leather: Last, but never ever least, is leather. Practical, bold, grounded, a scent of leadership, Leather is categorized as a niche scent that leaves an impression. As I stated, I really wanted Leather to represent Val's hobby and style, but I did also like how it is seen equally as a warm, captivating [and when mixed with citrus or floral, it was even seen as 'soothing'] scent despite that it was very often marked as 'virile' and powerful. For some reason, particularly when thinking of it with pair, it kept reminding me of that book 3 end moment. The way Val sympathized with Adam despite how he picked at their insecurities, that the strength of warmth for him overshadowed the heartache they had. It also encapsulates their determination to save him from himself.

So, if you're looking for a mixture of invigorating scents that leave you feeling refreshed after an exhausting day but still manage to keep you warmly grounded, than a Val candle is for you! Or if you just want a smell that balances between dynamically light and powerfully robust as well as a touch romantic, than give their candle a try ;-D
