#caged again lb

I'm enjoying watching Porsch and Arm bicker like the old married couple they are. It feels so real because it is real.

[kyogre-blue]

For... reasons, I went back through Belobog again. tbh I often get a bit too worked up on my first time through a game, and I also miss a lot of stuff because I'm not good at keeping track of details, so I was curious what kind of impression I'd have of it after getting a bit more used to HSR in general.

Overall, I do think it holds up better than I initially thought, but it also definitely has some fairly notable shortcomings.

For the good, they definitely put in effort to set up the story elements. There's a lot of mentions of things that will come up later, and in general the plot follows along quite well. There's a pretty good sense of characters continuing to do things off-screen based on their knowledge and goals, which is always nice. Additionally, Bronya's character holds together better than I'd realized, all things considered. I also like Belobog as a setting and the side characters are presented quite well, given the constraints of the short runtime of the story as a whole.

I would even say that it's overall a better story than Okeanos, a middling FGO chapter that I personally liked quite a bit, and you can even hold it up to London and American, maybe even to the weaker LBs, depending on your perspective. Not a bad showing, honestly.

But like I said, there's definitely issues. Some of them are not too important, like the dragged out pacing of the epilogue section (why do you need three whole missions after defeating Cocolia...), some are probably due to specific circumstances, like Seele's promise kind of never actually involving protecting Bronya because Bronya is fine (I do think they cut a boss battle here), and some are probably a victim of the genre's needs, like the all flash no substance final battle needing to push the MC when the MC has no reason to be the focus, but there's one specific issue I think holds the writing back as a whole.

It's a bit hard to put into words... The way I would describe it is that characters will often say some cool-sounding line, and it might work in that specific scene. But if you try to connect any scenes and their cool lines together, it just doesn't work.

A lack of substantive narrative through-line, I suppose?

On the mildest side, it can be just a lack of connection between things that sound like they should be connected. For example, Bronya talks a couple times about needing to stand up to Cocolia and convince her. Clara talks about needing to stand up to Svarog and convince him in very similar words. It looks like a parallel... but it isn't really, because this doesn't go anywhere. These two situations aren't being intentionally paralleled and there's not really anything to take away from comparing them. It's just coincidence. I think it also leads to some things coming out of nowhere, like the sudden focus on "preservation" very late into the story, despite it never really coming up before.

On the extremely frustrating side, it can end up making entire sections of the story feel ridiculous or hypocritical. Like, yes, I always come back to this, Bronya and Seele deciding to lie to everyone. The Svarog and Serval sections of the story explicitly focus on finding the truth and how important that is. Seele specifically discusses in regard to Svarog how people need to be free, not caged (/in ignorance), even if the outside world (/truth) is harsh, and how people are stronger than Svarog is giving them credit for. Welt at the very end says that advancing while knowing the truth is better than blissful optimism/ignorance. AND YET, Bronya and Seele turn around and lie to the people of Belobog, so they can have "hope." If you work backwards from this, they're basically saying that the people of Belobog are too weak to handle the truth and they don't deserve to know the truth. Cool??

Team, does the Topaz continuance address this, or what?

And while this instance is the most frustrating and impactful one, I think it's just one manifestation of a general issue regarding, like... creating an overall message throughout the story. This is part of what I think holds the story back compared to the truly great stuff in FGO. It's not that there necessarily needs to be a thesis statement that the game returns to repeatedly (though FGO certainly has that too), but at the very least, it needs to not constantly puff itself up with cool-sounding things that end up lacking the substance to back it up. Either make cool statements and back them, or stop trying to sound like you've got depth while lacking it. It's one or the other.

(Of course, most people don't see this as a problem at all. See: Kazuha's big moment being extremely popular despite its utter lack of substance.)

Anyway.

Overall, I do like Belobog, and I definitely understand how people think it's so peak. It's a fun story, cast, and setting, and it was a very good start for HSR.

But at the same time, I really worry about the endgame of Amphoreus, haha

Ford Bronco vs Toyota 4Runner – Which Reigns Supreme in Clermont Off-Roading?

If you're torn between the Ford Bronco vs Toyota 4Runner, you’re not alone. These two iconic SUVs are constantly at the top of every off-road enthusiast’s list. But if you’re shopping for your next adventure SUV in Clermont, there’s a clear winner—and it’s sitting right on our lot at Toyota of Clermont.

Let’s break down the details and see why the 2025 Toyota 4Runner is the ultimate off-road companion.

Performance That Packs a Punch: The Ford Bronco vs Toyota 4Runner 

In the Ford Bronco vs Toyota 4Runner matchup, both SUVs bring solid engine options, but Toyota’s engineering makes the difference.

2025 Toyota 4Runner Performance Highlights:

i-FORCE 2.4L turbocharged engine: 278 hp & 317 lb.-ft. torque

i-FORCE MAX hybrid: 326 hp & a whopping 465 lb.-ft. torque

8-speed automatic transmission for smoother shifting

Hybrid option offers lower emissions and improved fuel economy

2025 Ford Bronco Options:

Multiple turbo engines from 300 to 418 hp

Top-end trims win on horsepower, but lack hybrid efficiency

Transmission feels rugged but less refined

If you want strong, usable torque and long-term fuel savings, the 2025 Toyota 4Runner is the smarter pick, especially for Clermont drivers who want both power and efficiency in their SUV.

Designed for Adventure (and Real Life): How Do These Off-Roaders Compare? 

When you compare the design and utility of these two vehicles, Toyota again comes out ahead.

Why the 4Runner Wins in Design:

Modern boxy styling with a rugged, upscale finish

Power rear hatch + signature roll-down rear window

Larger cargo area + third-row seating for up to seven

Designed for practicality, from trail to tailgate

The Ford Bronco looks cool with its retro vibe, but falls short on real-world functionality. The roll cage intrudes on space, the rear cargo area is smaller, and there’s no third-row seating option.

Ford Bronco vs Toyota 4Runner: Interior Comfort with a Side of Versatility

Inside, the redesigned Toyota 4Runner continues to impress.

Interior Advantages:

Premium materials throughout the cabin

Quiet, smooth ride even on highways

Available third-row seating

More spacious cargo setup

The new Ford Bronco is built for the mud—but that ruggedness can be uncomfortable on everyday drives. It’s louder on the highway, lacks a third-row, and isn’t as family-friendly or road-trip ready.

Technology and Safety That Lead the Pack

Safety and connectivity are vital whether you’re trailblazing or commuting across Clermont.

Toyota 4Runner Offers:

Up to 14" Toyota Multimedia Touchscreen

Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 standard on every trim

Adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and pre-collision braking

Bronco Features:

SYNC 4 with 12" screen

Smartphone integration available

Most safety features cost extra on upper trims

When it comes to the Ford Bronco vs Toyota 4Runner, Toyota gives you more tech and safety up front, no costly upgrades needed.

Real Value and Long-Term Benefits

Let’s talk money, because value matters and should play a role in the Ford Bronco vs Toyota 4Runner debate. 

Why the Toyota 4Runner is the Smart Investment:

Higher resale value = better return at trade-in

More standard features at a better price point

Hybrid i-FORCE MAX saves fuel AND adds power

Lower maintenance costs due to Toyota’s legendary reliability

With the Ford Bronco, you’ll find yourself paying more for the features that come standard on the 2025 Toyota 4Runner.

Built to Last: Toyota Dependability

Clermont drivers know reliability is everything, and Toyota consistently delivers.

Proven turbo hybrid technology

Lower ownership and maintenance costs

Toyota’s unmatched track record for long-lasting vehicles

The 2025 Toyota 4Runner isn’t just a new SUV—it’s an investment in years of worry-free driving.

Why the Clermont Toyota 4Runner Is the Better Choice

Let’s recap. If you're comparing the Ford Bronco vs Toyota 4Runner, here’s why the 4Runner wins every time:

✅ Superior towing capacity (up to 6,000 lbs) ✅ Class-leading torque, especially with hybrid power ✅ Spacious interior + optional third-row seating ✅ More safety tech & features included ✅ Higher resale value + better long-term reliability

Ready to See It for Yourself?

If you’re ready to experience the 2025 Toyota 4Runner, stop by Toyota of Clermont today! We’re located just west of the Florida Turnpike at 16851 State Road 50. Come in for a test drive and see firsthand why this SUV is the smarter choice over the Ford Bronco.

Sharks lb do you guys know how cool markstrom’s mask is?

I love the way they painted the outside of the cage to match too, and the details like the indents where the fangs/tusks would rest if the mouth was closed.

I do hope Georgi goes with a less commonly used artist for his mask again I like what they come up with

[princess-of-the-corner]

Ask didn’t go through yesterday, so trying again today.

About the “Chat Noir using Cataclysm to make a platform of rust” thing. In one of the leaked early series bibles, it says that the Cataclysm could “reconfigure” objects. Like bending a wall into a cage, or using the street to make a wave of asphalt that he can surf on. I assume that what we saw with the Eiffel Tower was a remnant of that idea

Lol that's such ridiculous bullshit.

See I could roll with it if it was a duo attack. Like, Chat and LB use their powers together to deconstruct and reconstruct things.

But as-is it's a little ridiculous.

VISAGE | PLAYLIST | PORTRAYAL NOTES

NAME: Sol Neela EPITHET: Dancing Spur Neela. Neela, the Dancing Spur. 踊る拍車 ( odoru hakusha ) AGE: 18 (pre-timeskip), 20 (post timeskip) BIRTHDATE: July 19th. BIRTHPLACE: Mirror Ball Island, East Blue. HEIGHT: 174 cm / 5'8.5 WEIGHT: 59kg / 130 lbs BODY TYPE: Slender, muscular. Neela has well-defined limbs and muscle tone as she is usually active. In particular, her shoulders, back, and core boast some of the most striking definition. Her breasts are somewhat full, though they tend to look fuller and sit higher due to the amount of muscle she maintains in her shoulders, pectorals, and lats. GENERAL APPEARANCE: Large, doe-like umber eyes that always sparkle with wonder or delight. A face-splitting grin usually adorns a petite, heart-shaped face. Full lips frame the almost permanent smile. A somewhat petite nose with a relatively low bridge with an alar base that is somewhat wide. Her septum is adorned with a stacked/2-tiered golden septum ring which nestles at the top of a short, concave philtrum. Coils of flaxen hair are usually braided and tied in protective styles. Her frame is lean and muscular; muscle accounts for the majority of her weight, though it has a healthy percentage of body fat to keep her insulated. A narrow, defined waist signifies a deep core that bears a great deal of strength. Broad shoulders are capped with visibly sculpted deltoid muscles. The combination of shoulder and chest muscle volume lifts the tissue on her breasts to make them appear fuller and sit higher on her rib cage. AFFILIATION: Straw-Hat Pirates (available for AU storylines) SKILLS: Dancing, body contortion, and combat.

Neela is a user of kenbunshoku haki—though before the time skip she is not entirely aware of what exactly it is named nor what it is called—and considered her fluid, evasive movements to be attributed to a divine blessing. Over time, she becomes cognizant of what it truly is (and that it is not as uncommon as she once perceived). Through practice, she is able to hone it further. After the time skip, Neela has progressed into utilizing busoshoku haki. Her ability progresses to a degree where she can emit it in short distances, serving as foreshocks or aftershocks to her strikes.

WEAPONS: Currently being reworked, stay tuned (updated as of 8/28/24)

BACKSTORY:

Neela was raised by her father, Nyota Njano, a discharged Navy soldier on Mirror Ball Island. Her mother, Sol Najma, was one of many daughters of a misandrist troupe of mercenaries. The Sol Clan lineage is believed to have originated in Alabasta, though they have long since emigrated from their home and settled on Mirror Ball Island. The love between Najma and Njano was forbidden by the matriarchs of the Sol family. They were incensed when their rendezvous resulted in the conception of a child. From Najma’s pleas, they spared his life under the condition that he never be near Najma nor any Sol family member again. The Sol family was deceived into thinking that Najma’s child had passed shortly after birth. Instead, Njano was given the baby girl as a parting gift from his beloved. Najma did not want her daughter to suffer the same fate. 

Fate, however, was cruel to them. At the age of six, Neela had been spotted with her father by a Sol matriarch. Njano, who worked security for Doskoi Panda, was later dispatched. Neela was collected by her mother, who provided the child the palatable alternative to her father’s passing. She was told he had been sick and that the reason she had not yet met her mother was that they were searching for herbs to cure his rare condition. Unfortunately, they were too late. This seemed to alleviate some of the otherwise happy-go-lucky girl’s grief. Despite the dismissal and degradation from the Sol matriarchs for her sunny disposition and naivete, Neela thrived on the quiet praises of her mother for her athletic and acrobatic feats. After all, she was a Sol: movement was in her blood. It was in her soul. 

Curiosity about the world around her eventually got the better of young Neela, however. At age 18 she was unable to contain this curiosity and decided to set out to sea. Boldly, she propositioned a pirate crew to take her to sea. This was met with both laughter and a threat. So . . . Neela sought to stow away by using her contortionist skills. This led her to Orange Town. Of course, the occupation of the Buggy Pirates only scared her further, and she ended up returning to the ship. Initially, the idea of a circus seemed interesting until she was able to fully process what was happening. 

Next stop? Baratie. After cautiously leaving the cargo hold for a stretch, Neela’s curious cruise about the restaurant led her to be unintentionally marooned on the floating restaurant. With no money and no place to go, she sought an audience with Owner Zeff. After an arduous back and forth, Zeff relented under the conditions that she not set foot in the kitchen and that she wear some covering on her feet. She would be allowed to bus tables and run food. Her time at Baratie was short, but memorable. The dancer had scoped out a gallion to slither into. She narrowly missed the arrival of the Straw Hats, and the subsequent siege of Don Krieg. 

Finally, Neela arrived at Loguetown. Neela’s stint in Loguetown ended with her being taken into naval custody by Captain Smoker after recognizing–and attempting to reach Sanji–during the chaos that unfolded. Believed to be in league with the Straw Hats, Neela was placed in the brig of a Naval ship that ends up at Alabasta. When the crew of the vessel departed, Neela was able to escape her handcuffs by using a ring blade (erroneously thought to be body jewelry since it had not expanded) on her ankle. After securing her bracelets, she slinked cautiously into the chaos of Nanohana. As fate would have it, the familiar face of Sanji was also there. 

Ultimately, this entanglement led to her recruitment. Her involvement in the battles over Alabasta’s fate were not substantial, but she was there regardless. 

Neela’s involvement with any specific arc is not necessarily specified as these things can be explored in separate threads and dynamics. She will likely not have a pivotal role in them, as she is a support character.

Following the events of Sabaody, Neela was sent hurtling back to Mirror Ball Island. The initial embrace from her mother soon soured, and Neela spent her two-year journey on the receiving end of incessant insults by the Sol clan. How foolish she was to abandon family . . . for a man, no less. How stupid she was to strengthen herself . . . to serve a man! She chose love over power! Yet still, the training continued: with unexpected onslaughts and strikes from various members of the skilled Sol clan, Neela lost almost every encounter at the beginning of her training. Neela protested adamantly that her desire to be strong was not to serve, but to protect. Her desire was not to be subservient but to love. Her desire to love and be loved was not foolish, and it was not weak. In fact, she cited that love could be the strongest armor and strongest force that one could ever wield. That armor and that force manifested as a newly awakened skill: busoshoku haki.

Valoma & Mi So Tra, Madagascar!

May 31, 2024

Our last day in this enchanting country. It’s been so different from the African continent in so many ways, and as such a treat in the middle of our trip.

After another yummy breakfast we joined up with three other folks (the Canadian/Russian couple and an American woman) for our trip to the giant tortoise conservation area. It was a 20 minute drive to the small village where three keepers live with their families. Some time ago it was discovered that the giant tortoises in the Seychelles came from Madagascar. Since they had become extinct here, the powers that be swung a deal to bring some back and try to repopulate the island. It’s a long term project, but is coming along nicely. The families are responsible for protecting the tortoises, making sure they have water, building protective cages around eggs, determining the sex of the hatchlings (cool conditions result in females; warmer conditions, males) and keeping the young in covered cages to protect them from predators while they’re small. We wandered around to several areas where they had first the little guys and then the more mature ones who can live in a quite large fenced area without the risk of a fish eagle swooping down and carrying them away — the 15-20 year olds weighting 75-100 (or so) lbs. Reportedly, there are twelve in this age range and we met all of them.

Our guide gave us the option to go back to the lodge or carry on. Luckily, everyone in the group was game to keep going. We went through some mangroves and sandy areas that flood at high tide. Of course, there were new and interesting tsingy mounds and outcroppings with shrubs and trees growing on top and out of the sides. In one of the mounds, he brought us to a very old burial cave with the remains of long ago ancestors of current residents. Two protectors - wood statues - stood watch. On we went to the cave of a shaman who died several years ago - no replacement yet. This was a larger cave from where he operated and since he was well-known, is still a place where natives from relatively far away come to pay homage to his memory. The cave had crazy stalagtite (or is it stalagmite?)-like shapes on the ceiling and various wooden carvings on the ground and hanging on the walls. A quick water break overlooking an inlet and we returned to the village. There, about six of the local family members sat on the ground and seranaded us, while one of the men played his hand-made guitar. Our guide, Fabrice, explained that the song was to thank us for coming. He then gave us the translation for goodbye and thank you: Valoma and Mi So Tra!

On our return, we exchanged travel stories for a bit with Sarah, the American woman, and then came back to the room for a bit before another delicious meal. A digression here to say that the food here has been really quite memorable, delicious, beautifully prepared and overall the best we’ve had. If we mentioned that already, forgive, but it’s worth noting again. Hard to think of a wonderful DC restaurant that could do better!

After lunch, it was time for our last dip in the Indian Ocean and a little snooze on our private lounge chairs in the sand. The water feels chilly getting in, but is actually quite warm. It’s sandy all the way out until one’s toes no longer reach,which makes it oh-so-pleasant getting in and out. Nice to have had this break by the sea before we head back to the African continent tomorrow.

We did the 4:00 PM walk for the third day. This was through Baobab Alley - an area with loads of baobao trees, even some planted by humans to ensure they continue for many centuries to come. The largest in this area is 900 years; one of the new plantings, five years. We’ve quite enjoyed the 4:00 PM walks. They’re slow-paced, super informative, and not taxing — perfect for the late afternoon before tea. On this excursion, we drove to the baobabs, which started like all of our drives while here. The driver lowered the ladder on the back of vehicle, then the guide and driver stood on either side proving their shoulders for us to hold onto as we climbed in.

After a short respite in our bungalow (A/C working again after an electrical issue earlier in the day), we went to the oasis for the best lemur show yet. We were almost directly underneath one group and then another who alternately snacked, jumped, hung, swung, rested, and then lept their way across our view - perfect! (We should add that this was not our first lemur sighting of the day, though. There was a little family leaping above the path on our way to breakfast and a couple right outside the bathroom window when Seb finished her shower after the beach.

A quick break before our last dinner. Chef Fidele will remain in our hearts and bellies. On our way to dinner, we stopped at reception to pay our bill and avoid being rushed in the morning. In chatting with the two receptionists, they asked what our highlights were. Our answer — the guides on our activities and the food. One receptionist broke into an ear to ear smile. We learned that she is Chef Fidele’s wife

Stories about love...

Maybe a million have been written already—from simple, everyday tales to those with hidden romances that only show themselves when you read slowly, freely, and really pay attention. It’s about accepting reality just the way it is: neutral, simple, raw… with a kind of transparency that’s rare. Without emotional attachments clouding the message the writer is trying to share.

An incredible person.

That’s what I heard come out of the mouth of this guy who was staring straight north.

Why was he doing that? Maybe he saw something I couldn’t. I didn’t get his amazement or his obsession with looking in that direction. But then, when I dropped my ego and tried to be more open-minded… it hit me.

Oh, shit.

For a second, I thought I was hallucinating. But damn—it’s a trip when you sync up with someone like that. My face had this weird grin, like a mix of disbelief and nerves. But I didn’t care about how I looked… I just let myself feel it. And there I was, next to this little dude, just watching. Not a word between us.

Then suddenly, the bastard smirked again—that same wild excitement—and said:

“You’re an incredible person. One of a kind.

C’mon! What are you waiting for?!”

And then, whispering, his face changed.

“Come to me,” he said.

I had no fucking clue what was happening, but once again, I dropped all my overthinking and just watched it all unfold—two people searching for each other, calling out, responding, each in their own way.

That’s when I realized what was really going on.

It wasn’t the first time I’d found myself in the middle of a firestorm like that—right in the crossfire.

It was like standing under a meteor shower… or maybe smack in the middle of a battlefield, where two worlds slowly start to merge.

At least, that’s how it felt.

But then, something else happened—something I saw with my own eyes, but my brain couldn’t fully grasp.

Let me describe it for you:

From the north, I saw this unstoppable force—like a machine, but beautiful. A woman, stunning and powerful, coming in strong. Not a tornado… no, more like the shockwave of a nuclear bomb, followed by that wave of heat that just melts everything in its path.

For a moment, I turned to look at the guy who was clearly the main target of this storm, and I saw him there, arms wide open, in a totally vulnerable stance—like the crazy bastard was welcoming the impact. That insane power she carried—elegant, magnetic, almost divine—was heading straight for him, and he just stood there.

Shit.

The more I watched her, the more I got sucked into the moment.

And just like him, I found myself saying the exact same thing:

“No doubt about it. You’re an incredible person.”

The guy changed posture again as she came closer. He widened his stance, bent his knees just a bit. His torso stretched out, his arms and back seemed loose… but at the same time, they were opening up like he was bracing for something massive. His neck lined up with his spine in a way that made it impossible not to think: Dude’s prepping for impact.

And I couldn’t help but think, Is he nuts? If she hits him head-on, there’ll be nothing left.

But then I looked at his face—and damn, he was smiling. A confident smile, maybe even a little insane. But I saw it. I felt it.

And I finally understood.

It reminded me of something.

UFC 60.

Royce Gracie—the legend. The guy who carried the legacy of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu into the spotlight.

He was facing off against Matt Hughes. No title on the line, just a fight at 175 lbs.

But it wasn’t just a fight—it was a message. A Gracie stepping into the cage to prove that anyone who messed with his family’s name would end up like the rest: just another victim of the Gracie system, like in UFC 1, 2, and 4.

Everyone thought Royce had it. Me too. I was sure it’d be another night where Jiu-Jitsu taught someone a painful lesson.

But holy shit.

No one saw what happened coming.

The result?

The headlines said it best:

"THE SPELL AGAINST THE SORCERER."

Never assume anything.

And just like that, I snapped back to the moment. To what I was seeing with my own eyes.

That guy—just like Matt—wasn’t the stronger one. But from the look on his face, I knew he knew. Just like Matt did that night.

"THE SPELL AGAINST THE SORCERER."

Once I cleared my mind and faced the inevitable outcome, I closed my eyes.

And once again, I learned something:

Appearances can fool the hell out of you.

This wasn’t a battle of who’s stronger. Even if it looked like it.

There were no winners or losers here.

This goes beyond logic.

To understand it, you gotta let go of your ego.

A third guy was there too. Young, amazed, and excited. He told it like this:

**��That afternoon, I was just walking around. My head was a mess from a recent breakup—I just needed air. But outta nowhere, everything changed.

For a moment, I forgot all about my problems. I saw something that stopped me cold.

Shit! He’s gonna die!

That was my first thought when I saw this dude, arms wide open, in this weird-ass pose—kind of cocky, but also… impressive. Like, full of confidence and raw strength. I mean, when a train’s coming at full speed, you don’t stand in front of it. You get the hell out of the way.

But this wasn’t a damn train.

This was power. Pure destruction.

It looked like… I don’t know, a freakin’ nuke, man. That intense.

But the best part?

He took the hit.

He absorbed all that power. And after the collision…

Oh man…

It was beautiful. Just plain beautiful.

It wasn’t about domination.

It wasn’t about control.

No tricks. No manipulation. Just something real.

And I’ll be honest—yeah, I felt jealous. But I was in awe too.

Could I do the same? I don’t know. Maybe I’d be too scared. But I’d want to try.

I think I over-idealized my ex. Didn’t see things clearly.

She was just a person.

That’s all this was.

That insane power…

It was just that.

Wearing a divine-looking dress, full of unstoppable energy…

But now I get what the guy saw.

She was simply…

An incredible woman.”
