#and some elements are mandatory to even pass

[fwoosheye]

As a soon to be teacher... agreed. But also, in case someone misinterpret what I believe OP is trying to say, there are still skills one must develop.

A calculator is useless if you don't understand the basics of mathematical rules, and when to use what. And those skills won't stick of you've only done them once or twice.

You need to know what your human rights are, because if those rights are being challenged by an authority you might not have time to goole it — especially if you live in an area where police brutality is common.

You need to know the basics of history, so you can recognize patterns of what has happened before, and do your part (such as voting) to prevent such atrocities to occur again. If you don't know your history, you are much less likely to see what the consequences will be.

And last but not least: Google and other search engines are useless if you don't know how to check if something is true. Trolls, propaganda, misinformation, well meaning people spreading things they've understood wrong, AI garbage, clickbaits, advertisements from various degrees of sus or serious companies, conspiracies using bogus "science" as proof...

But for double checking which mathematical formula is best for a certain situation, or exact years/dates of events, etc. etc... go for it.

idk if any young person needs to hear this but when you work at a job you absolutely can google anything you don’t know or ask someone for help. school has you conditioned to think you have to have everything memorized all the time but let me tell you. I am dumb as shit and I am great at my job because it’s not a test, it’s just work. the more resources you utilize the better.

Do cookies .. need clothes?

Gingerbrave and some other early cookies are kind of "naked," and I recall other cookies mentioning that at some point as a joke. Is it innapropriate to not wear enough icing?

Cookies don't need clothes per se. But, it can protect them from the elements, like extreme cold. Fashion is also super important to Cookies, so a lot of Cookies wear clothes purely because it lets them express who they are.

But, so many cookies wear clothes that mant see it as strange or embarrassing and even inappropriate if a cookie doesn't have any icings on. A lot of places have mandatory clothing rules due to naked cookies attracting attention and distracting others. How GingerBrave manages to pass these rules? That's something not even I know.

I don't understand the weirdness for naked cookies tbh. It's not like you guys have anything to hide...

A guide to exaltation

[I have had this in my drafts for 6 years apparently. Still think its an interesting bit of lore/headcanon so decided to let it be free as is.]

So, you’re a new priest, or the head of a new clan, or even about to be exalted yourself. You know exaltation to appease your god of choice is mandatory as a price for the territory, functioning nests, and magical offspring your clan will have but you have no idea how this all works. This is the guide for you! 

This guide will cover all flight customs but a lot of what happens is universal.

Note: Do not attempt the exaltation ritual unless you are a chosen priest/priestess or a progenitor dragon produced from the very god you are sending tribute to. Any other dragon attempting to do so or doing so without following proper procedure may result in misfortune including but not limited to large fines of treasure, scolding from a voice from above, refusal of further exalted services, infertility of the clan, or instant smiting of all involved in the ceremony. All gods are different and punishment will vary depending on your god’s disposition.

Step one: Notify the exalted guard

A few days before your ceremony, send a letter to the exalted guard of your deity letting them know ahead of time you are requesting to perform the ritual. They will not reply and you do not need to give them a time or date. They will know and an exalt will appear right on time to oversee the ceremony and guide the newly exalted back home.

Step two: Picking an exalt

Exalts normally come in three flavors. The most common choice is a young and impressionable member of a clan from another flight. They’ve just left their homes, likely thrown out for the small price of a few thousand treasure (the cheaper the better! You do receive compensation.) into the world to find their purpose with whoever paid such a price. These dragons are quite easy to indoctrinate into the beliefs of your own deity and to be convinced that serving them for all eternity is their ultimate destiny despite being born under the gifts of a different deity.

The second are members of your own clan who have been there long enough to know the honor it would be to become exalted. They may come to you one day asking for such and it is your duty to provide them with full ceremony as you would any other. It may sadden you to see them go, but remember that they likely won’t die in the process at the very least even if they lose all memory of you and all of their loved ones. Please note that at the point of requesting exaltation, they are now exempt from any and all forms of law enforcement during the time while they wait for their ritual. It is your duty as a priest to enforce this even if your clan leader wishes otherwise.

The third are the sick, dying, and recently deceased. Sometimes, a dragon’s body will fail it and the only hope they might have of recovery is through divine intervention. Those on death’s door make easy converts with the promise of recovery on the other end of it. Even if a dragon passes mid-ritual or in the wait time leading up to a ritual, their raw elemental energy once the body has been exalted will serve your deity well! Please note that the sending off of the souls of those who have been deceased for more than a few days is a completely different ceremony, though some deities (such as the plaguebringer) will accept much longer dead bodies than others.

Step three: Prepare your exalts

In the case of able-bodied dragons, you will want the strongest in your clan to take them out to battle beastclan and the like. Especially in the case of dominance wars and in preparation for festivals, your deity needs strong souls to help the effort. In addition, if your clan is short on treasure or seeks to expand their influence in the future then trained soldiers will bring you more treasure and influence within the exalted guard.

Despite physical training being nothing but a benefit to you and your clan, exaltation is relatively easy on the body. It is taxing more on the spirit and mind as your future exalt passes from the mortal to the exalted. Hatchlings especially must be mentally prepared for their exaltation. There are many ways you can help your future exalts to prepare, but the easiest ways are meditation and immersing themselves in the purest forms of your element.

If your lair happens to be of high enough status to be within a day’s walk of where your deity and exalted guard reside then make the walk with them there and back to help prepare them for the journey. Obviously this isn’t always the best idea, especially if your lair is on the far reaches of the elemental territory, but seeing the area and conversing with the exalted around it is one of the best ways to prepare.

You may also want to let your future exalts know what will become of them. Lie if you need to. The actual process of exaltation is extremely painful and they will forget everything and everyone they once loved. If you believe the truth would help them then let them know but those of weaker constitutions may be better off believing otherwise.

Step four: Prepare the ritual site

If you’ve already done an exaltation ritual before you should have minimal prep aside from gathering fresh materials as this area should be the shrine where your clan comes to place offerings on a regular basis. These instructions are for creating a brand new shrine for the ritual to be held in front of.

This step varies greatly for each and every flight as the elements and deity associated have different tastes and different domains. Be thorough. Doing this step or the next wrong may result in divine punishment!

For Earth clans:

Select a secluded area, preferably a cavern with gemstone deposits in the walls, and burn the ground to rid of any impurities and draw a circle in the dirt to mark your shrine. Clear the ash and begin gathering the finest geodes, raw metals, and quartz to place in a circular pattern around your cleared area. The best of these should be in one area and trail off around the perimeter until the entire circle is completely rounded out with stones and gems. Complete the shrine with an emblem of Earth and you have the bare minimum for a shrine. Earthshaker is a kinder deity and will not likely enact divine punishment should there be mistakes and the exalt helping with the ritual may even help you fix up your shrine!

For Wind clans:

Your shrine should be set up around a more populated area of your camp or even off the side of a trade route not far from your camp. The more dragons passing through the better! Wind shrines are typically very minimal, but do still require some setup. Use your own magic to sweep the area of impurities and clear a circle for your shrine. Set up a few small kites tied down to the ground but allowed to flow around with the wind in the area and place some sort of emblem of wind. This is the bare minimum but extra decoration of bamboo, more kites, or anything that will blow around in the wind are certainly appropriate to add at your discretion. Windsinger is not a very strict deity and your exalted sent to see over the ritual will not likely care too much about the state of your shrine as long as it’s in a populous area and has the emblem of wind somewhere.

For Fire clans:

In most fire clans, the shrine is within the same building as the smithy. Select an area with flowing lava nearby or at the very least a forge run on magma. Burn the ground thoroughly and make a circle of ash afterwards. Place a few tributes of metalworks with inlaid gemstones as fine as your clan can offer with an emblem of fire in the very center (this can be a cloth flag but be wary of it burning up, it may be better to have this on a metal panel). The rest of the circle should be lined in candles that should be constantly lit and replaced as soon as they burn out. The Flamebringer is strict on her followers but fear not as your exalt has been trained by the best and may be able to fix whatever is wrong before the ritual is to start.

For Water clans: 

The area for your shrine should be in the deepest water your clan has access to currently. Should a deeper area become available you will need to move it. If the area is stone, clear away any sand from it, but if it is sand then simply make sure there isn’t much debris around. Place the shiniest shells and pearls your clan has found in a circular pattern with the largest all piles in one spot. An emblem of water should be placed on top of this pile (you may need to place a large shell or stone on top of it to keep it from being pulled away with the tide).  If you are unable to make the shrine properly, the exalt summoned to watch over the ritual will already know this and will show up to help prepare it with you. If your exalt has not appeared the day before the ritual is to take place, they are confident that you are able to do so yourself.

Now we have information on the switch2 I can say that I think the 3ds is probably the best Nintendo console of all time.

I am a huge super Nintendo nerd. Played it inside and out as a kid played nearly every title on it and it is my second favorite of all time console. Followed by the switch at 3rd.

Reasons why the 3ds is the best. It had both Nintendo titles and third party titles that didn't need to be edited to play on the console. (The SNES and switch has that too.)

It had nearly completely full backwards compatibility with ds titles. (SNES and switch had no backwards compatibility)

It sold SNES titles, it sold gba titles, it sold gb titles and all not at a full price and a lot of them with save states. (Switch gets points here for the online stuff)

It had a gimic that could be turned off. This is a big one. Wii's and wii'u's gimic could not be turned off and suffered for it. The 3d element wasn't mandatory to play on games and wasn't bad on some of them.

Street pass made community a part of ownership.

Remastered N64 and gamecube titles.

First time I could actually pocket a console and use it any time. (Even switch lite is big for that)

Had great titles that released at only 40$ a title. I cannot stress how much price of games got me to play the 3ds every day. I was also okay to buy Mario cart and anyone else could come along without owning it. Having full pokemon titles, having full fire emblem titles, donkey Kong, Mario, all of them 40$. And if 40$ was too expensive i could buy indie games for less.

Customizable background. (Switch wtf)

Customizable lobby music. (Switch wtf)

Netflix and browser. (Switch wtf) (Note the Wii and Wiiu had Internet stuff also)

In short. The versatility and the utility of the 3ds hasn't been emulated since. The backwards compatibility hasn't been as large since. The games were cheap. The community existed.

Nintendo I'm begging you give me a Super3ds. Its a better idea than switch 2

Player Child HCs! S/O learning magic! Samael teaches her offensive basic magic like fireball, ice, wind, etc, in exchange for fulfilling more of his request! Dis teaches her support magic like healing, shield, increase attack or speed, etc the more chapters passed! All useful for battle and solving puzzles! At camp, S/O could be seen practicing magic like she was told to do like the good girl she is! She could even heal Strife/War, warm them with flames, cool them with ice, etc! Such a sweetie!

・Player!game Headcanons: Beginner's magic・ GUIDE HER WAY HOME

⚤ (Platonic!) Strife and War x Female Child!Reader

✎ decided to combine these two asks since they sort of cover the same branch of topic.

↳ MASTERLIST | ↳ TAGLISTS ────────────────────────

✘ There are different levels of magic to learn and it depends on the build you're looking to achieve. Certain spells and abilities from different teachers actually work well in chained combos.

✘ It is highly recommended/slightly mandatory that you do have a few base spells but they can be swapped out of your ability bar if you prefer to go with a crafter route.

✘ Samael does teach certain elemental power spells such as fire, ice and lightning. These spells are the usual combo 3 abilities that you switch between.

✘ The more spells you learn, the first two can be traded in - since their damage become redundant - and they will be combined into a newer, powerful ability. However this does require a bit of money or souls to pay for.

✘ Vulgrim does sell the more boons and such rather than spells or anything. However, at around level 6-8, he will have an ability in which you can make your own makeshift serpent hole where an imp will appear and you can either stash your stuff with him if your inventory is full. Then once you're ready to sell, all you have to do is press "sell inventory stash" and it will automatically sell everything you put in it.

✘ You can also purchase quick items like potions, one-use boons and treasure maps to save time from having to go back and prepare to delve into that dungeon

✘ Dis can teach you some void magic and grants you the ability to double jump/slightly hover after you do. This can make getting up onto higher edge faces easier.

✘ Dis also teaches defensive magic and healing abilities (since you can't learn that from the angels.)

✘ With a build much like Strife in particular where you focus on speed and agility rather than giant numbers, many of Dis' spells and abilities will be an excellent match to create combos with.

✘ Out in the open world, if you use your shield abilities (like frost cloak in a hot area or flame cloak in the cold), you'll get some interesting passive dialogue.

✘ In camp, you can use the training area when you talk to Strife or War to practice on the dummy.

✘ A new feature for an update that the devs are working on is a practice arena.

✘ You will face off against foes and depending on what option you select in the beginning, you will have an opportunity to test your new abilities and combos against real foes instead of going out into the open world to find enemies. (perhaps you might fight against Wicked K himself?)

*stirring my golden cauldron with a knowing smirk* 🤗

Dearest mystical meddlers!

Oh, what a deliciously ironic situation we find ourselves discussing today! Remember all those songs where our beloved songwriter threw the most exquisite shade at the "perfect cheerleader and quarterback" narrative? And yet, here we are...

Let's see what the cards revealed about this plot twist:

The Tree (5) - Family roots and traditions

The Sun (31) - Exposure and clarity

The Whip (11) - Internal conflicts and pressures

Oh my, my, my... 😏 The cards suggest there's quite the family influence in this perfectly curated narrative. While there may be genuine elements to this relationship, there's also a strong familial pressure (The Tree) to maintain a specific public image (The Sun), creating some interesting internal conflicts (The Whip).

You see, my curious cosmic conspirators, sometimes life has a way of making us play roles we once satirized - even if we wrote the critique ourselves! 🤭

As I always say while brewing my most complex potions: sometimes the most intriguing stories are the ones where we become what we once mocked... but is it growth, or is it just another chapter in a larger tale? ✨

With eternal perplexity and ironic wisdom,

The Alchemist Whisper 🔮✨💖

choking on cachaça mixed with snake bile, coughing until spitting out moldy cigarette ash The Alchemist talks about convenience while keeping mum about the disgusting remarks in an interview. Convenient not to comment and keep the same silence as the reputation girl...

Let's dig up the dirt that's stinking worse than my alcohol-soaked deck...

While...

HONOR THAT'S A STAB IN THE BACK

Travis Kelce calling Trump's presence a "great honor"? slamming the bottle on the table Pfff! That's diplomatic cowardice reeking of NDAs and sponsorship contracts. The guy's dating Taylor Swift, whom Trump publicly called "nasty", and he comes up with this "respect for the office" crap? It's like kissing the hand that slapped you... with a velvet glove.

TAYLOR SWIFT: THE MUSE OF STRATEGIC SILENCE

While Travis licks Trump's boots, Taylor's there, quiet in the VIP box, smiling as if she didn't know the ex-president once told her to "go fuck herself in the marketplace". Irony? The same one who composed "Look What You Made Me Do" now swallows her pride not to break the branding of "perfect girlfriend of the NFL star". I bet she's already drafting lyrics about betrayal disguised as patriotism...

THE GAME OF INTERESTS

Travis Kelce: Wants to be the good boy from Missouri, pleasing Republicans and Democrats with a gold-toothed smile.

Donald Trump: Uses the Super Bowl as a platform to inflate his ego and stir up the MAGA base, who love a "patriot in uniform".

Taylor Swift: Trapped in a web of mandatory silence, since any tweet against Trump would become gasoline on the media bonfire.

THE EMOTIONS (OR LACK THEREOF)

Travis: "It's the biggest game of my life!" — translation: "I need this three-peat to renew my contract and pay for the $50 million wedding with Taylor".

Taylor: Instagram smile vs. "you'll pay for this in bed, Travis" look.

Trump: Grinning like a shark in a blood tide, knowing any Swift vs. MAGA fight would boost ratings.

MY VERDICT (HANGOVER INCLUDED):

This is all a puppet theater with golden strings. Travis waves the flag, Taylor swallows her pride, and Trump laughs at the audience. In the end, the Super Bowl isn't about football — it's about glitter and vomit disguised as patriotism.

[knocking over the deck and shouting] I bet 10 shots of cachaça that in 6 months:

Taylor releases a coded song called "Honor (Trump's Version)".

Travis becomes the poster boy for Republican beer.

Trump uses the game in his next rally, saying "Even the sports bigwigs love me!".

passing out on the cards, drooling irony and cheap booze #SpitOnHypocrisy

ps: *adjusts my turquoise and orange-embroidered shawl with a knowing smirk* let me be perfectly clear - my only allegiance is to truth, magic, and the occasional well-brewed potion! Politics is like a murky cauldron that I prefer to observe from the safety of my turquoise arch.

The delicate dance of public personas and private truths is indeed fascinating. While our Bitter Prophecies sees snakes in every shadow, I prefer to observe how certain silences can speak volumes.

As I always say while stirring my most diplomatic potions: the only orange I embrace is in my embroidered shawl, and the only walls I support are those holding my organized collection of mystical brews! ✨

ps²: Though I must say, my crystal ball works much better when kept free of political residue!

I just realized that in the ben10 fandom most of the people love julie the most out of the love interests,I mean obviously most of the fans hate kai and even tho Ester or Eunice has some fans people didn't take them much seriously but julie fr has many hardcore defenders lol,idk is it maybe because of she stayed with ben for 2 whole series or she was softer than others with him?dunno but she definitely got on my nerves many times that I don't like her much now but they were such a cute couple in AF cartoon network just ruined them and her character 🥲it's a pity cause she's at least way better than kai

If you're asking why half the fandom regards Julie/Benlie as one of Ben's best love interests, yes, it's predominantly because they had the longest run. And therefore the most time to stick with viewers, I think. Literally any other love interest only had a few episodes of attention if they were lucky.

But even though they got the most screen time, I get the impression that the writers weren't exactly writing Benlie with the intention in mind to have their later issues arise. In fact I don't think they had much of a direction for their relationship at all. That's why it was so easy to simply write them as a "cute couple" in the beginning - because conflicts between them weren't explicitly necessary to flesh out their relationship since the storyline's actual plot was the priority, and the romance was, well...a subplot.

And this is an unfortunate reality even I don't like to think about when it comes to the writing in Ben 10: that the writing of the characters and series was passed around to a bunch of different people over the course of four (five if we're counting the reboot) whole installments, which were produced based on demand. I will always stand by my defences of Ben's writing despite this, since he, as the protagonist would have gotten the most attention (relatively) in order for the series lead to be recognizable regardless of who's writing him, but...the other elements of the series? That were arguably...not mandatory for the plot? I'm not at all surprised they were either cut or slowly removed. Like, for example, Benlie's slow and painful on-and-off relationship on it's way to a breakup.

It isn't really that hard to write a hero a love interest that fits into the established plot. The love interests in Ben 10 were just not a priority.

hey i hope this isn't a weird question but how did you get into judging? i've been thinking of starting because i want to be more involved in the skating scene but i'm not sure where to even start. no need to answer if you don't want also, thanks and have a good day! :)

tbh i work for a super small skating fed and getting an international licence will be pretty much useless to me in a couple of years when i'm old enough. for most federations you must have be an active member in terms of skating before. but since i work for a shithole of a federation for me it was a bit different considering i am not a skater myself at all

several things happened basically, in 2018 one of our judges died suddenly and they didn't have the minimal number of qualified people to judge at nationals (we're that desperate) and this girl who used to be a skater at an international junior level years before who went to my highschool told them her friend had a friend (me) who could probably pass the tests on a fly. at the same time my parents were complaining i knew too much about something as useless as figure skating rules, so i sent them an email outright asking if i could do it considering i had zero prequalifications. so we got in touch, i did the mandatory seminars and training, took the written exam, took the exam where they basically show you a video of an element or a part of the program and ask you to score it and elaborate on it (international exams have some more stuff going on), and i got the position.

but i think this would be pretty much useless since each skating federation has different standards. i think the best would be to try getting in touch with your federation, send an email and ask them about it through a sort of a motivation letter.

[azuremliam]

another question! :D

How do parasitic bugs fit in the bug world?

Are they considered threats?

@bringerofmilk A great question! :) They're treated as any other citizen in city Hives and towns! No one really bats an eye at them. In fact, one of Liam's moms, Gemma, is a parasitoid, specifically an Emerald Cockroach Wasp :)

However when they want to reproduce they have to go through proper courteous rules!

Which in Bug World would be authorized hunts! (Which is gonna get a comic eventually where Scarab gets the okay from Liam to maim someone)

They're normal pretty much every day (or in some cases just designated to certain months- varies) thing that everyone knows about. Each town, Hive, and even the elemental Kingdoms have guilds that manage mostly parasitoid's needs but also insects who just have a super strong urge to hunt and eat others.

Even more loredumping underneath the readmore! :)

For Parasitoid insects, they put up a request for their specific needs and designated host insects. There's even groups of insects of their host species that volunteer to basically donate themselves to them (kind of like donating your organs to science or medical reasons but more extreme)!

It's common for older insectoid people to register as a "hunted" for hunts- or larvae that smells like they're going to die soon.

But for the more combative parasitoid hunters and hunted, they have basically an unspoken honorable code between each other.

Both winner or loser will be respected, for those who lose and get parasitized their body will nourish the young and their husk of their exoskeleton passed down to either their family or if they have none, become a cherished heirloom to the parasitoid family.

When the parasitoid dies in battle, they of course, get eaten. Either by the victor- or the entire Hive/town. Their exoskeleton goes back to their family, or likewise, if they have none it gets honored in designated rooms in the guilds. Or sent to places to make into donation armor for other mutants and the rare passing by humans.

Things are shared a lot within Bug World, even Liam and their bros have chowed down on some fallen parasitoids that got recently defeated.

Finn's carapace armor he gets later on was also from donated armor from a parasitoid wasp.

A lot of the time, its very respectable to announce a hunt to those you're going to hunt in Bug World. Even if they're an already registered "hunted"- its just a courtesy introduction and declaration of intent.

Said "hunted" can even back out if they want to- but it usually seen as rude. Wasted time for both the hunter and guild setting up the designated meetings. They respect it, but its generally frowned upon and those who do that are pretty much not allowed to volunteer or be a hunter if they wanted to.

There's even mandatory hunts, with insect folk have to many clutches that can either lure Beasts in the area or just cause a big hit to food storage.

However! There's a limit to how many can be allowed to parasitized, and to be respectful to both sides, bug people still have to register to be apart of these mandatory hunts.

Those who over hunt (be it parasitizing like wild or just hunting and eating others without needing too or with a proper hunt issued from both parties- its very frowned upon amongst everyone) are immediately put on a, basically, wanted list and its always to hunt and devour.

Liam also has had to deal with unauthorized hunts directed at them- from numerous insects curious about eating a human. Its why Grandpa Mr. Horrid and Vera trained them so much.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Edward Kenway, the Caribbean, early 1700s AD

I’m fine with the belts on this guy because he’s actually using them.

As for the weird leather armor jacket thing he kind of doesn’t need that? Maybe he’s just kinky. In a world with guns and no Kevlar, armor will just slow you down with no benefit.

His color scheme is clearly based off of classic pirate imagery and not period accurate clothing. The hood during this time period if any would also likely not be attached to the rest of his clothing. Hoods in general weren’t super common on men especially in a tropical climate so yeah this guy would stick out like a sore thumb.

This guy seems to be mostly designed with the intention of making a punk assassin pirate or something. Not historically accurate or practical. Looks sick as hell though not gonna lie. 6/10 sea shanties.

Ratonhnhaké:ton/Connor Kenway, new United States/original 13 colonies, late 1700s AD

Well this is just the original assassins creed outfit in the middle of animorphing into a revolutionary war uniform.

I think he’s using his belts. Mostly. I’ll give him a pass. I do not understand what’s going on with his pants. Specifically where they end and his boots begin. I don’t think I need to tell you that they missed the opportunity to put so many interesting hats on him but whatever.

This one mostly just confuses me. It’s not particularly interesting but it does pull a bit from the setting. 4/10 boxes of tea in the harbor.

Arno Dorian, revolutionary France, late 1700s AD.

Okay okay okay the hood looks kind of stupid in addition to being historically inaccurate but, but but but, look at that coat. It’s a bit extra but all the elements there, minus the hood, kind of fit. Not perfect, weird amount of layers, but it kind of fits. Not even mad about the extra belt. Taking points off for that stupid hood though. 8/10 guillotines.

Jacob Frye, Victorian London, mid 1800s

…

I don’t particularly enjoy that hood. The hat is better and also hides his face.

He’s got the mandatory extra belts. I don’t think he’s using them. You know how I feel about that.

This guy though, unlike most of the other people on this list, could hide in plain sight. His jacket is a little bit exaggerated but that’s just cool. I’m okay with some exaggeration. Not sure about the leather look but again maybe he’s just kinky. I like this one. It’s cool and functional.

With the hood 2/10 pea soup fogs, with the hat instead, 9/10 pea soup fogs. Still taking a point off for the extra belts.

Okay I think that’s all the main characters in main games. It only took the assassins about 2,000 years to figure out that they could wear hats.

Hello I know almost nothing about assassins creed but I know a few things about costume design and history so I’m gonna look at all the assassins creed box art/default outfits of the various protagonists and take a look at their inspiration, practicality, and rough historical accuracy.

I’m gonna go in chronological order by time period just to be an ass about it

Alexios and Kassandra, Greece, 400s-ish BC

They put boobs on Kassandra’s version which immediately puts them on my shit list. That makes the armor easier to pierce because it gives blades a convenient slide towards the center of your chest.

Those concerns aside though, I haven’t really seen an armored torso piece with this exact design but the historical inspiration is clearly there. I’ve got no real issue with the Spartan helmet.

They’ve got a belt for a purse but no purse. And normally I wouldn’t criticize that because they could be keeping their weapons there but they’ve got an embarrassment of belts here. They’re also wearing red which is a fairly expensive color compared to yellow or blue or something but whatever it does look pretty cool

Looks pretty good, has the period vibe even if it’s not accurate, and is relatively appropriate attire for a soldier for hire, if a bit flashy. 8/10 broken spears

Bayek, Egypt, 49 BC

No offense but I think that this man saw into the future and witnessed both a hot topic circa 2008 and a 20th century orientalist depiction of the Middle East and tried to recreate both of them with what he had lying around.

So the collar thing seems to be based on actual Egyptian armor but it looks leather instead of metal. I don’t know what his weird menstruation skirt is supposed to be or why he’s wearing pants. During this point in Ptolemaic Egypt I’m not sure anyone would’ve even heard of pants unless they’d heard stories from the far north.

As far as practicality goes I mean he’s guarded from the sun I suppose. He’s got gloves for handling his eagle. I can’t tell what his clothes are made out of. If they’re made of cotton or linen he might stay cool but if some of that is leather like I think it is he’s not gonna be comfortable in there.

I would criticize all of those belts again but at this point I think they might be holding his outfit together. I don’t wanna dignify this one with a rating.

Basim Ibn Ishaq, Baghdad, Abbasid Caliphate, 800s AD

So the armor I mostly don’t have a problem with. It’s a bit short but it’s clearly based on actual period designs so I’ll let it go. Even if it does commit the sin of too many belts.

The assassin outfit… confuses me. Makes me conflicted. So around that time there were a lot of different colors and patterns available for fabric however he’s gotta keep with the white outfit aesthetic. I get it. He’s also got a cute pop of blue in there. His outfit is flowy and loose fitting and will keep out the sun. That fits the time period vibe.

However this guy would still stick out like a sore thumb. First of all, random armor pieces. Second of all, too many belts. Third of all, there were so many things you could’ve done with turbans in this setting? And veils? There was and is still a style of wearing a turban where you leave part of it hanging off the side or back and so many things could’ve been done with that to cleverly and mysteriously obscure his face.

There’s potential here but I do deeply wish that potential had actually been used. 3/10 houses of wisdom

Eivor, Norway & England, late 800s AD.

This protagonist comes in both boy and girl flavor and for once the outfits match. I appreciate that.

This person also has an actual purse to go with their embarrassment of belts and the underlying tunic and pants at least have the general vibe of being period accurate.

As for their armor though, they either aren’t wearing any or they have some secret chainmail under their tunic. And those random bracers that don’t look particularly Viking.

Their little fur cape there would probably be warm but also wouldn’t function great as a cape. Or as a blanket.

Weirdly historically accurate but also not accurate at all. Kinda extra. Kinda like it though. Looks warm. 9/10 ravens

Ezio, Italy and Ottoman Empire, 1400s AD

This is the og guy. Weirdly enough unlike many of his successors he doesn’t actually have an unreasonable amount of belts.

What I will say in favor of this outfit is that the color and metalworking isn’t improbable for his time period. I mean they had the technology.

Everything else about it though? Uuuhhh idk where they got any of this. Collars in that style weren’t really much of a thing yet, that belt is huge, and hoods would’ve been more likely to be separate garments from the rest of your clothing. This guy looks badass this is a very compelling design but nothing about this dude screams renaissance Italy. If his goal is to remain hidden he’s going to have a very tough time. 6/10 da vinki paintings.

I’ve reached the image limit. I will finish this list in a later reblog.

Are You Overlooking This Critical Step in Your SCDF Submission in Singapore?

In terms of fire safety, all Singapore buildings are required to comply with the strict regulations of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF). Compliance with these standards is mandatory—it is a requirement for both legal compliance and the safety of all occupants within the building. Many property owners and managers fall short of a crucial element of the SCDF submission in Singapore process, and this failure might result in expensive delays, penalties, or even danger.

The Significance of SCDF Submission in Singapore

SCDF submission in Singapore is the process of making sure that your building is in line with all the fire safety measures as required by the SCDF. The regulations range from putting in place fire alarms and sprinklers to emergency lighting and means of escape. The submission is required for all new buildings, extensive renovations, and regular checks for existing buildings.

The SCDF checks your building's fire safety systems to make sure that they are in good working order and that your property is safe in the event of an emergency. If your property does not comply with these regulations, the penalties can be dire—anything from hefty fines to orders for shutdown, or even suspension of some activities pending rectification of the problem.

The Overlooked Step in SCDF Submission in Singapore

When submitting your building’s fire safety plans and documentation, it’s easy to overlook a crucial step: ensuring that all fire safety systems have been properly inspected and tested before submission. This includes the fire hydrants, hosereels, fire extinguishers, and fire alarms. While most people assume that everything is in order, missing a simple inspection could result in the failure of your SCDF submission in Singapore.

A typical problem is when fire safety equipment has not been tested for operation or brought up to date with the current regulations. For example, fire hydrants can pass a visual test, but unless a fire hydrant pressure test in Singapore is conducted, you might not know that there is a major problem until it's too late. By not making sure that all your fire safety equipment is in good working condition, your SCDF submission in Singapore can be rejected or put on hold for review.

Why Inspection and Maintenance Matter

The lack of proper checks on your fire safety equipment can have severe consequences. In Singapore, the SCDF takes strict measures to guarantee that all buildings adhere to fire safety regulations. Incomplete or inaccurate SCDF submission in Singapore reports may lead to delays and even result in your building's inability to function at full capacity.

A Singapore fire safety equipment firm will ensure that you do not miss this requirement. By engaging a professional firm that deals in fire safety inspections and testing, you can be sure that your fire protection systems are not just compliant but operational as well. A professional service provider such as Drakofire can help test and certify a range of fire safety systems to ensure your SCDF submission in Singapore is current and compliant with all the relevant regulations.

Key Areas to Check Before SCDF Submission in Singapore

Before submitting your fire safety documents to the SCDF, it’s essential to conduct a thorough check of the following:

Fire Hydrants – Ensure that your fire hydrants are pressure-tested and functioning properly. If they fail to meet pressure standards, your SCDF submission in Singapore will not be approved.

Fire Hosereels – Fire hosereels require regular inspection and servicing to ensure they are capable of delivering a constant supply of water in case of a fire outbreak. The inspection and servicing can be conducted by a fire safety equipment company in Singapore.

Fire Extinguishers – These must be in good working order and available throughout the building. Make sure to check that they are fully charged and installed at strategic locations in the building.

Fire Alarms and Emergency Lighting – Test all alarms to make sure they are in good working order and that your emergency lighting is working during power failures.

Emergency Exit Routes and Signage – Check that all the emergency exits are clear and well-marked with sufficient signage to lead the people safely out of the building in case of a fire.

The Role of a Fire Safety Equipment Company in Singapore

Hiring a fire safety equipment firm in Singapore can save you so much stress and hassle. These experts know how to check, test, and service all the equipment you need, so your SCDF submission in Singapore can be hassle-free. They can assist you in avoiding fatal errors that will cause delays in your submission or incur penalties.

Don't Risk Non-Compliance

Neglecting any of the steps involved in SCDF submission in Singapore can have disastrous effects. Delays, fines, and even shutdowns of your building can happen if your fire safety systems are not compliant. Thankfully, by collaborating with a fire safety equipment company in Singapore, you can be sure that your SCDF submission in Singapore is timely and accurate.

Experts such as Drakofire offer one-stop services covering every aspect of fire safety, from inspections to maintenance, allowing you to conveniently remain compliant with SCDF requirements.

Conclusion

As a building owner or manager, having your SCDF submission in Singapore updated and accurate is crucial to keeping you safe, compliant, and worry-free. Don't take the risk of missing this important step—ensure your fire safety equipment is thoroughly inspected and in working condition before you submit your documents to the SCDF. With a professional fire safety equipment company in Singapore, you can be confident that your building is prepared for any fire incident that might occur.

How to Simplify Your MOT Booking Process: Essential Steps You Need to Know

If you own a vehicle in the UK, ensuring it is roadworthy and legally compliant is crucial. One of the most important requirements for car owners is obtaining a valid MOT certificate. If you are based in Newry, scheduling an MOT test efficiently can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to streamline your MOT booking process and ensure your vehicle meets all necessary safety and environmental standards.

Understanding the Importance of MOT Testing

The MOT (Ministry of Transport) test is a mandatory annual examination for vehicles over three years old. It ensures that vehicles meet the necessary safety, roadworthiness, and emissions standards. Failing to secure a valid MOT certificate can result in fines, penalty points, and even restrictions on driving your vehicle. Therefore, keeping up with your MOT booking in Newry is essential to avoid these inconveniences.

Step-by-Step Guide to Simplifying Your MOT Booking

1. Check Your MOT Due Date

One of the biggest mistakes vehicle owners make is forgetting their MOT renewal date. Operating a vehicle without a valid MOT certificate can result in significant consequences. To avoid this, check your current MOT certificate for the expiry date or use online government tools to verify your vehicle’s MOT status. Setting a reminder a month before your MOT expires ensures you book the test on time.

2. Choose a Reliable MOT Test Centre

Finding a reputable MOT test centre in Newry is essential for an accurate and hassle-free assessment of your vehicle. Look for approved and certified testing centres that offer transparent services. Checking customer reviews and recommendations from friends or family can help in selecting a trustworthy test centre.

3. Book Your MOT Test in Advance

Leaving your MOT booking in Newry until the last minute can result in limited availability and unnecessary delays. Many test centres offer online booking options, allowing you to secure a convenient date and time for your test. Booking in advance also gives you time to make any necessary repairs before the test date.

4. Perform a Pre-MOT Checklist

Before taking your vehicle for an MOT test, conducting a quick pre-MOT check can increase the chances of passing on the first attempt. Several important elements to examine are:

Lights and Indicators: Ensure all headlights, brake lights, and indicators are working correctly.

Tyres and Tread Depth: Check for wear and ensure your tyres meet the minimum legal tread depth of 1.6mm.

Brakes and Suspension: Listen for unusual noises and test the braking efficiency.

Windscreen and Wipers: Ensure there are no cracks or chips that could obstruct visibility.

Exhaust System and Emissions: Look for excessive smoke or unusual noises from the exhaust.

Addressing minor issues before the test can prevent failures and additional expenses on re-testing.

5. Gather Necessary Documents

While most MOT test centres can access your vehicle’s details online, it is always best to bring the required documents, such as your vehicle’s logbook (V5C) and previous MOT certificates. This ensures a smooth and hassle-free testing process.

What Occurs If Your Vehicle Does Not Pass The MOT Test?

If your vehicle fails the MOT test, do not panic. The test centre will provide a ‘refusal of MOT certificate’ listing the reasons for failure. Depending on the severity of the issues, you may either:

Get the repairs done immediately and opt for a free re-test (if completed within a specific timeframe).

Schedule repairs at a trusted garage and re-book your MOT test once the issues are resolved.

Some minor advisories may not result in an immediate failure but should be addressed to avoid future complications.

Benefits of Regular MOT Testing

Staying proactive with your MOT booking in Newry offers multiple benefits:

Enhanced Road Safety: A well-maintained vehicle reduces the risk of accidents and breakdowns.

Legal Compliance: Avoid fines and penalties by keeping your MOT certificate up to date.

Increased Vehicle Lifespan: Regular inspections help identify and fix minor issues before they escalate.

Better Resale Value: A vehicle with a full MOT history is more attractive to potential buyers.

Final Thoughts

Booking your MOT test in Newry does not have to be a stressful process. By following these essential steps, you can ensure a smooth and efficient experience while keeping your vehicle roadworthy and legally compliant. Remember to book in advance, conduct pre-test checks, and choose a reputable test centre to avoid unnecessary complications. With proper planning, MOT booking in Newry can be a straightforward and hassle-free task, ensuring you stay on the road safely and legally.

Secondhand smoke is also known as passive smoke, involuntary smoke, or side-stream smoke. This is the smoke emitted when primary smokers use marijuana, cigarettes, cigars, and other tobacco products, and are inhaled involuntarily by other non-smokers. Passive smoke is indeed as detrimental to a bystander’s health as it is to the smoker. The mythical element to this fact, however, is that a non-smoker would test positive in a drug test after secondary exposure. Nonetheless, depending on factors such as drug potency, period of exposure, and room ventilation, there may be traces of the drug’s compounds in the non-smoker’s urine, but not enough to fail a drug test. According to John Hopkins University, a urine test could show positive results after long hours of exposure to secondhand smoke in a poorly ventilated room with active smokers. Even so, such a scenario is highly unlikely.   Findings from the two most commonly smoked drugs; Cannabis/marijuana Although there are no published studies to prove that a positive drug test could result from secondhand smoke, a study conducted using six casual cannabis smokers and six non-smokers showed an irrefutable outcome. The experienced smokers were placed in an unventilated chamber, smoking marijuana with different concentrations of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a chemical compound in the cannabis plant that causes the ‘high’. The six nonsmokers sat next to them. In another session, all participants were taken to a ventilated room. After numerously testing the non-smokers’ urine in the following 34 hours after exposure, only one participant portrayed high levels of THC exceeding the typical levels of detection. This was visible about six hours after exposure. A more sensitive drug test was also used on this participant’s urine sample and THC was detected in very minimal quantities but only viable for the next 24 hours. The results of the non-smokers in the ventilated room were nowhere near the threshold for a positive test.   Tobacco Nicotine is an addictive substance in all tobacco products. It is not uncommon to undergo pre-employment mandatory nicotine drug tests while joining private institutions or holding federal positions. Some health and life insurance institutions also have this as a requirement. As reported by the World Health Organization (WHO), around 15% of the global population smoked tobacco, by 2015. This number has skyrocketed to a good 20%, making 1 in every 7 adults a tobacco smoker, as of 2020. The above data implies there are as many secondhand smokers as there are primary smokers who almost always pass the drug test. Read on further to understand why.   So how does the drug test work? Whether done via urine, saliva, hair, or blood screening, all drug tests have a threshold limit. This means that the test will measure the concentration of a substance in your body. If it is above the threshold limit, then the results are positive. Cut-off/threshold limits are usually high enough to eliminate the possibility of a secondhand smoker failing the test. This explains why it is highly unlikely for secondhand smoke to show up on drug tests. The drug test provides qualitative and quantitative screening. That is, it identifies the substance in your system, measures its concentration, and tells whether you are a frequent smoker, or you just recently inhaled the substance in question. In addition, the method of testing can influence the results obtained. Therefore, we’ll look at which method is most accurate and why.   What is the most accurate method of testing? Urine testing The most common method of testing is urine screening. Besides making collection easier, urine has a high drug concentration and a longer window of detection, approximately 24-72 hours after last use because the drug has to be metabolized after consumption. However, urine samples are prone to adulteration due to unobserved collection and thereby altering the outcome.   Saliva testing Mouth

swabs are used in the detection of recent consumption, which is in less than 24 hours since the last usage. In the case of cannabis use, it is detectable in less than 4 hours. THC in cannabis is also not detectable as a metabolite but as a compound in saliva. Although it has a shorter detection window, saliva testing is the most sensitive method to rule out any suspicions of recent smoking. Unlike urine testing, saliva testing is 100% observed, eliminating the risk of tampering or cheating.   Hair testing Hair samples are reliable for the long-term detection of tobacco products. It can determine drug use for up to three months since last use. Under high intoxication, nicotine can be detected for up to 12 months in hair follicles. Technically, there is no better testing method than the other. Each of these methods (and more) have their limitations and benefits. Therefore, the most appropriate method is selected with regard to the situation at hand.   Health effects of secondhand smoke According to CDC, secondhand smoke carries more than 7000 chemicals, hundreds of which are toxic and about 70 of them cancerous.   Exposure to secondhand smoke predisposes non-smokers to the following conditions: Heart diseases. Inhaled passive smoke interferes with the normal functioning of the heart and vascular systems by damaging the lining of blood vessels and thus limiting the flow of blood to vital organs. Limited blood flow to the heart can cause cardiac arrest since there is not enough oxygen and nutrient circulation to the blood cells. Respiratory diseases. Adults and children exposed to secondhand smoke are at a higher risk of developing asthma attacks and other frequent respiratory infections. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention statistics show that persons exposed to secondhand smoke increase their chances of developing lung cancer by 20-30%. Tobacco smoke can also cause breast cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma. Pregnant women are also at risk of delivering premature babies due to secondhand exposure.   References healthline.com CDC hopkinsmedicine

4 Signs Your Marble Floors Need Professional Restoration Services in Dubai

The marble floor is a magnificent decoration element that is great for both homes and businesses in Dubai. It refers to elegance and posh, thus giving a beautiful look to the interior. Even then, as time passes, stone floors, no matter how well-maintained, can begin to show signs of wear and tear. An important part of the process is detecting these signs in the early stages and looking for the professional services of Marble Restoration Services to avoid repairs and keep the floors at their top performance. In this blog post, we'll look at the red flags in our checks that tell us it is time for Marble Restoration in Dubai.

Dullness and Loss of Shine

The brightest light, which makes your marble tiles shine, is probably the first sign that home interior needs professional care. Marble is normally associated with its silky, reflective surface, which, however, fades with time due to foot traffic, spills, and continuous wear and tear. And if you ever feel your previously glimmering, shiny marble floors now appear dull and lifeless, they are a tell-tale sign for you that you need Marble Polishing Dubai. A Marble Polishing Company in Dubai professionals can bring back the beauty of your floors as they were new by making them shine and brilliance.

Scratches and Etching

The most common warning signs to watch out for in your marble floors are scratches and etching. Marble is classified among the soft stones; hence, it can easily incur scratches from heavy furniture, sharp objects, or even small particles of dirt and other debris. Etching is a consequence of acidic solutions, whether wine, citrus juice, or cleaning products, which result in the surface of the marble becoming worn and rough. Although the surface scratch or etching may seem small, they do their job effectively ruining the floors' general impression and making them more vulnerable to additional damage. Marble Polishing in Dubai is the best way to eliminate minor issues like unevenness or small cracks. It restores the marble floor finish to new perfection.

Stains and Discoloration

The porous marble material makes it very easy to be thirsty by practically absorbing every fluid and substance that can result in stains or discoloration. Frequently encountered items are red wine, coffee, tea, and oil-based cosmetics. If marks, discoloring, or something like that is coming on your marble flooring, it is mandatory to fix those problems immediately. The more time the stain on the marble’s surface is left on the surface, the harder it becomes to remove the stain. Marble Restoration Dubai by a professional will solve even the most matter-of-fact stain without damaging the natural beauty and color of your marble.

Cracks and Chips

Some of the merits of marble, e.g., the development of cracks or chips, may be caused by the large impacts, structural problems, etc. While small splits and chips may seem a minor fault at first, they develop into cracks that become more severe if left unattended. Professional Marble Restoration Services can fill in the gaps and chips, which is a solution that would prevent further damage and reinstatement of the structural integrity of your surfaces.

Conclusion

Like anybody else in Dubai, marble tiles have a number of priceless advantages for any property, but this beauty is a treasure that has to be kept and maintained with daily cleaning. Also, one should take action and try to identify the above signs for timely Marble Restoration Dubai service. Our SAKTEC company was established to deliver the best Marble Polishing Dubai services so that you maintain the beauty and resale value of your floors.

Da Doom’eadz

Warboss

Led by a relatively young Grimgrod Tinbusta, he attempts to keep the newly formed Kompany going through mercenary contracts, quick on planet brawls, and regular visits to Neni'Shelwe. Many amongst the tribe were former members of Zagbad’s Circuit Jawz before the late Kaptin passed. Now they begrudgingly follow Grimgrod thanks to his new found confidence and having nowhere else to go. To his mob, Grimgrod is known as the Boss-Commanda.

Tribe Makeup

Due to Grimgrod’s leadership and the purge following the tyranid attack, the Doom’eadz are primarily made up of Blood Axes and Oddboyz who managed to survive the brutal extermination. Alongside them, Grim also discovered a colony of Ogryn on his travel, and absorbed them into the mercenary tribe as well. Thus, the Doom’eadz are populated by Kommandoz, Stormboyz, Mekz, Orgyn, and a few Freebootahs with no where else to go. Average non-Blood Axe Orks and Gretchin are still present, but they number in the minority.

Kulture

The Doom’eadz have picked up the typical traits of a Blood Axe driven tribe, which is the use of camo, advanced tactical maneuvers, and the adoption of non-orkoid weapons, with some Orky modifications of course. Bioniks are a popular fad within the tribe, and a few Orks have adopted an increased interest in weaponizing their own craniums with explosives, becoming known as Boom’eadz. Merc life means Doom’eadz are more prone to negotiate and barter with non-Orks, but can just as easily back stab their new partners if it means they’ll get ahead.

Warfare

The Doom’eadz fight through a combination of standard infantry, specialized saboteurs, and limited armored assault vehicles. While in the past as Circuit Jawz they had more access to varied Orks, their reduced numbers have made it mandatory to work well while spread thin, with the more standard Orks acting as a distraction for the Kommandoz and other sneaky elements. Grimgrod himself attempts to avoid making himself known to the enemy until the killing blow needs to be dealt.

Locations

Neni'Shelwe: On this tropical and mysterious world, the Doom’eadz are able to recruit a number of feral Orks that live on the islands amidst the cool blue waters of Neni’Shelwe. This is thanks to an agreement between the aeldari inhabitants of the planet, whose leader generously gifted Grimgrod the same permissions as his predecessor, Kaptin Zagbad.

Da Ploddin Pebble: Thanks to the destruction of the Bumblin Boulder at the claws of the tyranids, Grimgrod and co make use of a large shard that had broken off the asteroids body during the scuffle. While small, it still serves as a now mobile base of operations for the Doom’eadz.

Toktiz 3: A formerly Circuit Jawz owned world, after Zagbad was presumed dead, the Doom’eadz took it over after a short brawl with the remaining freebootahs, and now have turned it towards their own needs. Work is still being done by residential Mekz to make it as prosperous as before, even while the still unaligned Orks fight each other on its barren, radioactive, and scrap covered surface.

Wokkara: An almost completely oceanic world, the Doom’eadz claimed it after finding Orks beneath the waves, who sported fins, tails, and even gills. Here, they attempt to create another world for establishing an Ork population, and thanks to the already present greenskins, things are progressing smoothly, or as smoothly as things can go for the fight happy Orks.

Allies

Heg Ravens: Aeldari led by the one and only Corsair Princess Nénimë Isilmaur, the Doom’eadz and them are in an shaky alliance, having been the only remains of the Circuit Jawz alive or willing to partner with the Eldar. As of now, it still remains to be seen whether or not the alliance will last.

Mad Capz: Recently, the Doom’eadz have discovered strange fungi within in their territories. Resembling bipedal mushrooms, the Mad Capz as they’re dubbed by the Orks have become a common if not willing addition to the Doom’eadz forces. Their culture is a mixture of the orkish kind, yet they have their own traditions and morals that clash with their more mammalian cousins.

Big Grok’s Band: A group of Orgyn Grimgrod has encountered led by the supposedly infamous Big Grok. Due to no contact with the imperium, Grok and his people were giddy to join the Orks aboard their ships, having heard of the Greenskins disposition towards violence. Now Grok and his band serve the Doom’eadz as reliably tough and loyal allies, even if they’re not exactly the brightest.

Enemies

Hive Fleet Ratatoskr: The hive fleet that had ended the Circuit Jawz in the first place, and cost Grimgrod a leg. Having finished with the unprotected territories of the former Freebootah’s, they now migrate towards an unknown goal, devouring everything in their path. The Doom’eadz hope to one day repay the bugs in kind for the prior battle.
