Shining Sunlight on Chief Thundercloud

April 12 was the birthday of the film actor known as Chief Thundercloud (1899-1955). As it happens, there is a “thundercloud” surrounding the actor’s true identity. His real name has been given as Victor Daniels, but also as Vazquez. Studio hoopla gave out that he was either a Cherokee or a Muskogee from Oklahoma, but the evidence is stronger that he was from Arizona and thus probably Pima or…

Chapter 19: Regency Red Carpet

Anthony Bridgerton x fem!reader

Introduction: Aubrey Hall has weathered storms, scandals, and the occasional Bridgerton game of pall mall. But nothing—nothing—could prepare its walls for what arrives in five carriages, trailing silk, secrets, and an unholy amount of unresolved tension. The guests have arrived. The house is full. And the chaos? It's dressed, pressed, and already halfway to the rose garden.

Carriage One: The Queenslayer Squad

The grand gravel drive of Aubrey Hall curves into view just as the first carriage crests the hill. It's elegant, understated—Bridgerton tradition wrapped in grace and discipline.

Inside?

A four-woman army.

Lady Violet Bridgerton, composed and regal, holds the reins of decorum. Beside her: Hyacinth, practically vibrating with anticipation, already planning mischief. Eloise, looking unimpressed and vaguely threatened by the concept of a countryside “retreat,” flips through a book she hasn’t read a word of. And then there’s you—seated across from them, a study in composure masking a thousand unspoken things.

The estate comes into view through the window. A familiar sight. A beautiful one. But this time? It feels…different.

“Ah,” Violet says softly, as the drive smooths beneath the wheels. “Home.”

 Hyacinth immediately leans forward. “Does anyone think we’ll make it through the weekend without a scandal?”

“Define scandal,” Eloise mutters without looking up.

You offer a slow smile. “Would it really be Aubrey Hall without one?”

The footman opens the carriage door.

And thus, the first move is made on the chessboard.

The queens have arrived.

Carriage Two: The Bridgerton Brothers (and a Brewing Storm)

The second carriage rumbles down the gravel with the quiet weight of history and sibling rivalry.

Inside sit four men—each a story in motion.

Anthony Bridgerton, eldest and thundercloud-in-chief, stares out the window like the estate personally offended him. He hasn’t spoken since they left London. Not about the ball. Not about you. Not even about the cursed piano incident that continues to haunt the halls like a ghost.

Benedict lounges across from him, sketchbook open, pencil tapping absently against the page. He’s drawn this road before. And yet, this time, he’s watching Anthony more than the scenery.

Colin is mid-monologue, some tale about a duel that wasn’t really a duel, unless you count losing your cravat in the middle of Mayfair a mortal wound.

Gregory is trying—failing—to look like he belongs with them. He’s been practicing smirks in the reflection of the carriage window. He thinks no one’s noticed.

“Remind me,” Benedict says dryly, not looking up, “why are we arriving after the ladies?”

“To ensure peace,” Anthony replies flatly.

“Ah yes,” Colin mutters, “because we’re famously good at that.”

The wheels crunch to a halt. Aubrey Hall looms just ahead.

Gregory grins. “And so it begins.”

Anthony doesn’t move.

Not yet.

Because he knows that inside that house… you’re already there.

And it’s going to be a long, long week.

Carriage Three: The Duke, The Duchess, and Their Very Small Overlord

The third carriage is quieter, but no less important.

Inside, Daphne Bridgerton—now the Duchess of Hastings—sits with practiced elegance, her gloved hand gently patting the back of her sleeping son. Baby Augie is nestled in a woven basket lined with the softest silk money and stubborn maternal instincts can buy.

Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, lounges beside her, looking far too composed for someone traveling with a literal time bomb in the form of a teething child.

“How long do you think we have before someone asks to hold him?” Simon murmurs.

Daphne smirks. “Long enough for you to lose the battle of pretending you don’t enjoy it.”

Simon raises a brow. “I will do no such thing.”

“You cooed at him last night, Simon.”

“A tactical distraction.”

“You used baby talk.”

“I was strategizing.”

The carriage slows as Aubrey Hall comes into view. The lush countryside unfolds like a familiar lullaby, and Daphne lets out a soft sigh.

“God, it’s good to be home.”

Simon glances over, the fondness in his gaze barely concealed. “You mean, it’s good to be surrounded by a swirling vortex of meddling, matchmaking chaos.”

Daphne smiles serenely. “Exactly.”

The carriage door opens. The footman bows.

Simon lifts his son with a sigh. “Well then. Let the chaos begin.”

Carriage Four: The OG, the Mystery, and the Misses Sharma

The fourth carriage pulls up with the slow, deliberate grace of a vehicle that knows the weight of the women it carries.

Lady Danbury is seated nearest the window, cane in hand, gaze already narrowed like she’s sizing up the estate for weak points in decorum. She doesn’t wait for assistance—when the footman opens the door, she descends like a storm cloud in lace, perfectly coiffed and already judging the gravel.

Behind her, Lady Mary Sharma offers a polite smile and an air of composed resignation—the look of a woman fully aware that she is outnumbered by forces greater than her will: Lady Danbury and her own daughters.

Kate exits next—cool, sharp, and clearly already exhausted by the prospect of the week ahead. Her hat is pinned with military precision. Her eyes sweep the grounds like she’s preparing for war.

“You do not have to attend every battle,” Lady Mary murmurs as Kate straightens.

“No,” Kate replies, expression unreadable. “Just the important ones.”

 Edwina is last, stepping out like springtime itself—graceful, bright-eyed, and wholly unaware of the quiet emotional landmines dotting the grounds of Aubrey Hall.

“Oh!” she breathes. “It’s even more beautiful than I imagined.”

Lady Danbury adjusts her gloves. “Let us hope it stays that way, my dear. Though I doubt it will.”

And then, a muffled thump and a blur of beige fur launches itself out of the open door—

Newton.

A comet of fluff, determination, and zero regard for social graces.

He barrels out of the carriage with the singular purpose of establishing dominance over the Aubrey Hall lawn. The footman jumps back. Edwina gasps. Kate groans.

Lady Danbury, utterly unbothered, lifts her cane just in time as Newton weaves around it.

Lady Mary: “Shouldn’t he be leashed?”

Kate: flatly “He was.”

Newton makes a hard left toward the rose bushes, does a victory lap around a peacock statue, and finally flops down in a patch of sunlight with the smug satisfaction of a creature who absolutely knows he’s the moment.

Lady Danbury watches the display with a dry smile. “Well. At least someone in this family knows how to make an entrance.”

Kate sighs.

Edwina beams.

And from somewhere in the distance, a Bridgerton senses the arrival of trouble in heels.

The Final Carriage:

There’s a hush, almost imperceptible, that falls over the gravel path as the fifth and final carriage appears at the edge of the estate drive.

The footmen straighten.

Colin mutters, “Oh no.”

Hyacinth sits up straighter. “He’s here.”

From where she’s watching through the drawing room window, Eloise groans. “Someone warn the rose garden.”

The carriage, black with silver trim and an aura of someone’s about to lose their composure, pulls to a slow, deliberate stop.

The door opens.

A perfectly polished boot touches the ground.

Then—

Viscount Lucien Alexander Blackbourne steps out, dressed in the kind of travel attire that looks less like he just completed a journey and more like he’s posing for the cover of Rogues Quarterly. Charcoal waistcoat. Gloves in one hand. The other casually brushing nonexistent dust from his lapel.

His hair is only slightly tousled, like it was meant to be.

His eyes lift—cool, unreadable—and land directly on the entrance of Aubrey Hall.

He smiles.

Somewhere inside the house, Benedict finishes a drink in one gulp.

Colin whispers, “Is it just me, or did the sunlight literally change direction?”

Eloise: “If he starts monologuing, I’m locking myself in the library.”

And then—

He starts walking.

Measured steps. No rush. As if the entire estate has been expecting him. As if Aubrey Hall is merely the backdrop for his next great performance.

Newton barks.

Lucien raises an eyebrow, crouches with a grin, and within seconds, the traitorous beast is melting under his touch.

The great doors have only just closed behind the last of the arriving guests when—

CLATTER.

Somewhere to the left, a tray hits the floor. Silverware skids.

A footman freezes mid-bow. A scullery maid drops a folded linen. The butler—the one with a personal vendetta against chaos—stares out the window with the slow horror of a man realizing he is about to live through another Blackbourne week.

Head Housekeeper (in a whisper): “He hasn’t even unpacked.”

Second Footman (in awe): “Is it true he once made the Viscount drop his tea cup just by raising a brow?”

Kitchen Maid: “I heard he speaks five languages. And all of them flirt.”

Stable Boy: “I thought that was a myth—like spontaneous combustion or Gregory Bridgerton’s reading habits.”

One of the junior maids peeks around a curtain, watches Lucien saunter toward the entryway, and promptly fans herself with a lace handkerchief that does nothing to help.

“Trouble just arrived,” she murmurs.

The Butler closes the guestbook slowly, his expression unreadable. “Alert the kitchen. Triple the wine. And someone discreetly inform the rose garden to brace for impact.”

Lucien, meanwhile, is removing his gloves with the practiced ease of a man who knows exactly what effect he has and has no intention of softening the blow.

He smiles faintly at the butler.

 Lucien: “You remember me.”

Butler (stone-faced): “My doctor still does.”

One Piece Chapter 1144 - Initial Thoughts

And we're back a little early

Elbaf is waking up to the threat at hand but Loki is down for the count, so let's see what Oda has in store for us again

Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release too

Unsurprisingly, Who's Who's crew and cat harem are beaten up off-screen by Yamato, allowing Minatomo and the women to be freed

Maybe Yamato should now steal the cat harem, it'd be a waste to leave a cat harem just lying around

We are alas, blueballed in classic Oda fashion about Loki's insinuation last chapter - maybe he's saving it for the round number - instead we are with Franky and the lovely miss Ripley

Ripley has shown something that surprises even Franky

Oh! It's a building, but its architecture is more like a factory, and it has a robot head on the top, but it's very overgrown too

Ripley brought Franky here with him in mind, being a cyborg and all

That does indeed bode a question, how does a facility crop up in a land of warriors?

Lilith and Bonney are here too! Which at least means they're safe from the bustle happening at the Walrus School they were last seen

Lilith was gonna show Franky this place too, so Vegapunk didn't build it

Turns out they got lost and found this place XD what did they take directions from Zoro?

What the? Lilith estimates that this facility has been around for 3,000 years!

3,000! So that's not even Void Century stuff guys, this could be First World shit right here! Was the Ancient Kingdom Egghead based itself off also basing itself off an Ancienter Kingdom!?

None of the locals know the origins of the building, and since the oldest one is half a millennium old it could very well have existed for thousands of years

Lilith's interest is piqued, and thus this will be her base of operations - likely completely nixing her from being a prospective nakama

Before Franky can investigate it too though, Bonney spots a nightmare

The group are attacked by the evil thundercloud, Franky thinks it's just something from Elbaf, but even Ripley is shocked by this foreign thing

In the Western Village, the Draugr bears over the feasting and still drunk giants, who attempt to sober up and prepare to fight

It seems they've clocked onto the fact that it comes from children's imagination

But they're without the Chiefs, Dorry and Brogy, who are 'holed up in the privy'

Brook come on lad, it's not a giant you

The giants seem concerned about the crew, but Usopp - sobered and thus a little quietly - insists on fighting

Colon is at the village, so he was safe from the kidnapping, but he is refused - rightfully - by the adults from fighting, despite his insistence that he's his father's son

Nami decides to fess up to Jarul

By the sounds of it she's left out the Loki stuff, only telling him about the guards being attacked - who verify the appearances of Gunko and Shamrock

They note the weird ability and Jinbe makes the clear 'if it's a weird ability it's likely a Devil Fruit'

Jarul sends more giants to search for two non-Straw Hat humans, but Brook has a hunch that it's more than two intruders - you could say he feels it in his bones yohoho

Nami remains true to the rule that you fuck with kids she'll rip your throat out

Usopp is also thinking about the motive, expecting a bigger plan to be hatching as a result of the kidnapping

Jinbe requests a ship to help, but Jarul insists they hide somewhere else and let them deal with it

Asking a Yonko crew to sit back is kinda sus ngl...

Once again we get told that Dorry and Brogy are stuck in the privy

Jinbe and Usopp agree that while the giants are capable, they deal with giant threats, so they should be allowed to deal with normal-sized threats

The problem however is that they can't travel on anything supersized without a giant

Enter Colon, who's ecstatic that the crew isn't planning on stopping him, but he has to be captain

On a Svald ship the Colon Pirates set off

While this is not the first child to involve themselves directly in a One Piece arc it is a wee bit careless of Nami, Usopp, Jinbe and Brook to lead a child into the battlefield

New announcements come about the intruding humans, all while Gunko listens to some tunes

Seems that she listens to music after every meal, but refuses the claim that it's a ritual

Huh, I guess it is weird to see headphones in the One Piece world, outside of Uta at least, it's called a TD (they don't explain what it stands for but it's probably something like Transponder Deck)

Sommers keeps teasing her and gets hit, but Killingham asks her favourite song

Surprisingly, her favourite is New World: Brook's song before he left Sabaody

Sommers continues to tease but Killingham reprimands him, so Sommers shifts his attention back to Saul's efforts to stop the kids

This time, Saul is using shields to prevent himself from getting stabbed and stop the kids from walking into the fire

He succeeds in stopping the kids, but the thorns start pressing into the children behind them

Robin is abhorred by the tactic, and surmises that it must be a devil fruit at work - and they must be close by

Saul tries a new plan, this time he'll lasso a child at the back

And it succeeds! Pulling him out of the line, not sure if it pulls him out of the trajectory because Gunko did make a big deal to Loki about how only she can alter it

Alas, Saul's success puts him at the mercy of the nightmare Fenrir

Ange tells Kiba about more monster sightings, and they - again - surmise that it's a fruit ability

The Draugr is defeated by some of the drunk giants, but they did have some trouble

They're immediately jumped by Nidhoggr - which looks just like the dragon in Punk Hazard - and the Dapper Ghost

The giants prepare to flee, but Dorry and Brogy come in with a Hakoku to wipe out the nightmares

They're back from the privy - why didn't anyone tell us that's where they were? - where they sobered up after hurling

The rest of the Giant Warrior Pirates are also with them, using the Svalr mode of their ship

In addition, Gaban is here to join the fight, inspiring the locals' confidence

So at the least things are happening

It wasn't a bad chapter in the slightest, we are drawing some more lines that do make sense, it just also feels like we're at a simmer when it should be a boiling point.

I mean Ripley showing Franky this 3000 year old facility is big, it's a massive deal that such technology predates the ancient kingdom by so much and can give us so many questions and answers in the long run. But she's barely reactive to word that the kids have been kidnapped, idk I guess I wanna see Ripley kick some ass.

There was probably a bit too much repetition too, I get not everyone gets the same information at the same time, but usually you can spread it out. For Dorry and Brogy in the privy it does work for rule of three, but 'this is the work of a devil fruit' probably didn't need to be said 3 times.

I am on the fence with Gunko being a Soul King fan too, on the one hand it seems nuanced to show that the God's Knights have a dynamic with each other, even if they're scum to everyone else, but also; they're scum, to everyone else! I praised Oda last chapter for reminding the audience that they're unlikable but this felt like it reset it a bit, I don't vibe with the idea of them being redeemable right now either. Sommers' thorn stuff is still a problem, but the arrival of Fenrir should at least give Robin and Chopper the floor to do some fighting, same with Franky and Ripley against the thundercloud. I'm curious what the 'Colon Pirates' are gonna do, if they're investigating and looking for the God's Knights it could be them who fight the trio, but it still puts Colon in danger - I do partly wish Usopp was still drunk through this, it seems he's quickly sobered up. I remain wary of Jarul as well, and still curious about the Loki stuff that we didn't touch on.

So yeah, the wheels are turning but a bit less repetition would've helped the chapter for me, still a good one though.

[toyhouse-code-hell]

Pinned Post/Rules

Hello, I'm Clay (he/him, adult, very queer) I give out toyhouse codes from my account PhalarAluve.

Asks open when I accumulate 50 codes and code status is always in my bio. And because of this, I am limiting things to:

ONE CODE PER ASK AND DO NOT DOUBLE DIP.

Asks are OPENED.

46/50 CODES AVAILABLE

FAQ ?

Can I pleeeease get two codes...? It's for a sales account. 🥺 No <3 Them's the breaks.

Can I dm you for a code? I would prefer asks only, so no. I want this to be a touch-and-go sort of deal.

Please turn anon asks on, I'm shy/anxious/etc... I can't reply privately to anonymous asks to send you back a code :( It's one ask and then you never gotta do this again.

You did not answer my ask for a code. Why? You did NOT read my FAQ entirely. Explode. I also have 5 asks in my inbox that are just. Not There. So yeah. :( also five ghost asks hoooly shit???

I replied to any post you've made, asking for a code, and you ignored it. Why? I've drawn it out for you.

I've seen these codes traded for art and designs before, why are you giving them out for free? A month's premium code worth is 0.61 USD per code. Yearly premium's code worth is 0.23 USD per code. No art is worth that little. It's scummy to give codes in exchange for ANYTHING at that price. I am staring directly at r/toyhouse and r/codesfortoyhouse.

Why can't I see your profile/Why am I blocked??? If you are under 18, I have maturity block on! If over 18, I've IP blocked someone and you just share that address! If you're over 18 and I haven't "blocked" you and you have no code yet, I've also turned on guest block. Either way, sorry!! </3

Can I have a code please even though I'm in X fandom?? I do not care what fandom you're in. Live your truth <3

Do you give codes to people with CBCs/Dekudogs? I do not care what ocs you have. Live your truth <3 (Just don't make them public, people are so quick to report them)

What is toyhou.se even??? Toyhou.se is an invite-only beta character storage website where you upload your own characters (their art, literature, even au versions if you want) to your profile.

Do I need to understand HTML to use this website? A little bit if you choose to use html coding for profiles... But unless you want to make your own code, you won't need to know more than adding an embedded link or image. Using other's premade HTML is just replacing their fill-ins with your stuff.

Did you really read my post? Thank you!! Put the thundercloud ⛈️ emoji in your ask (required) and give me a song recommendation (optional, but I'd LOVE one). I will make a playlist once all codes are gone. If you just send a link, tumblr might kill your ask, so just the title of the vid is cool.

Prior Playlists: 🐌 | ⛈️ | X | X | X | X | X |

DNI ?? idk chief i just work here

Disclaimer: if you post AI content on the site, people can report you and the site mod will ban you.

"Come on there can't actually be AI bros or queerphobes on toyhouse. It's an OC storage site. What." I wish. I fucking wish. I've been here since 2017. I've seen it all.

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Disclaimers ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ I am not associated or affiliated with anyone I give codes to. If anyone has ban evaded, block evaded, or has done or will do any future harm with their toyhouse account, my hands are clean of it. If you come in here like "YOU GAVE A CODE TO USER BILBIPPITY AND THEY SCAMMED ME AND ITS YOUR FAULT" That is not my fault.

21 for BIG MELKOR if there’s anything we are yet to know…

love you for this one for real. OK, since you said you meant the DVD commentary question, here are some additional thoughts (bite thy wings and let thee crawl, Melkor/Maglor)

First, I really just want to share all the passages from Lay of Leithian that I'd copied into my notes doc (beyond the bit I included and took the title from), because. Big Melkor canon...

Then Morgoth came. For the last time     in those great wars he dared to climb      from subterranean throne profound,      the rumour of his feet a sound      of rumbling earthquake underground.     (25) Black-armoured, towering, iron-crowned      he issued forth; his mighty shield      a vast unblazoned sable field      with shadow like a thundercloud;      and o'er the gleaming king it bowed

and

Heard ye not then of that pretty fay, of Lúthien? Her body is fair, very light and fair. (210) Morgoth would possess her in his lair. Boldog he sent, but Boldog was slain: strange ye were not in Bolgod's train.

Fierce is your chief, his frown is grim. Little Lúthien… what troubles him? (215) Why laughs he not to think of his lord crushing a maiden in his hoard, that foul should be what once was clean, that dark should be where light has been?

Whom do ye serve, Light or Mirk? (220) Who is the maker of mightiest work? Who is the king of earthly kings, the greatest giver of gold and rings? Who is the master of the wide earth? Who despoiled them of their mirth, (225) the vain Valar? Repeat your vows, Orcs of Bauglir! Do not bend your brows. Death to light, to law, to love; cursed be moon and stars above; may darkness everlasting old (230) that waits outside in surges cold drown Manwë, Varda and the sun; may all is hatred be begun and all in evil ended be in the moaning of the endless Sea!' (235)

and

Into the vast and echoing gloom more dread than many-tunnelled tomb in labyrinthine pyramid where everlasting death is hid, down awful corridors that wind (5) down to a menace dark enshrined; down to the mountain's roots profound, devoured, tormented, bored and ground by seething vermin spawned of stone; down to the depths they went alone. (10)

and

Slow-wheeling o'er his iron crown, reluctantly, shivering and small, (95) Beren there saw the shadow fall, and droop before the hideous throne, a weak and trembling thing, alone. And as thereon great Morgoth bent his darkling gaze, he shuddering went, (100) belly to earth, the cold sweat dank upon his fell, and crawling shrank beneath the darkness of that seat, beneath the shadow of those feet.

and

Yet welcome, welcome to my hall! I have a use for every thrall.

and

A pretty toy for idle hour. In slothful gardens many a flower (190) like thee the amorous gods are used honey-sweet to kiss, and cast then bruised, their fragrance loosing, under feet. But here we seldom find such sweet amid our labours long and hard, (195) from godlike idleness debarred. And who would not taste the honey-sweet lying to lips, or crush with feet the soft cool tissue of pale flowers, easing like gods the dragging hours?

and

Then flaring suddenly they fell, down, down upon the floors of hell. The dark and mighty head was bowed; (275) like mountain-top beneath a cloud the shoulders foundered, the vast form crashed, as in overwhelming storm huge cliffs in ruin slide and fall; and prone lay Morgoth in his hall. (280) His crown there rolled upon the ground, a wheel of thunder; then all sound died, and a silence grew as deep as were the heart of Earth asleep.

Like did I even have to write this fic?? Tolkien wrote it first...

This is most of what I have to say that I haven't said before, aside from that I love to see people in the tags of @aquaregiaart's beautiful art losing their minds in the exact same way I did when I first saw an earlier version of it and felt possessed by a demon with the urge to tell some more of that story!! 😌

One other thing on my mind when writing beyond horny was Melkor's voice, I guess. I really wanted his lines to "sound" resonant as though they came from a position of power, and "read aloud" well, and I tried to pay attention to that when I was editing, taking out some of the hedging and other words I had in there as options at first (at least one "I think" got cut at that stage... Just picture me like staring at 2 very similar options like it's the dress meme, muttering to myself "Would Melkor say this? I don't fucking know..."). I haven't spend a ton of time thinking of Melkor as a character (I've only written him a little bit before, in the backdrop of Finrod/Sauron AU) and I really wanted him to come across as scary and brutal/unflinching but also keep some sort of undertone suggesting that At One Point, he was or could be a seducer figure as well. Also, revisiting these Lay of Leithian portions with him was inspiring in terms of writing & keeping in some of his dialogue in the fic, because he DOES have a villainous glee in Lay of Leithian, a bitter, proud sort of "positioning" against the Valar, and he likes to hear himself talk. After reading that, I felt a lot more empowered to write him talking some more!! Thank you so much for your Big Melkor support all through working on this, it makes my heart grow to Big Melkor sizes ❤️❤️❤️

New Palworld Update Includes First Raid Boss, Pal And Base Changes, And More

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/new-palworld-update-includes-first-raid-boss-pal-and-base-changes-and-more/

New Palworld Update Includes First Raid Boss, Pal And Base Changes, And More

Developer Pocketpair has released a new Palworld update that introduces the game’s first raid boss, makes changes to pals, U.I., and bases, and more. Dubbed v0.2.0.6, the Steam version of this update for PC players is already live; the Xbox version will be released when it’s ready, according to Pocketpair. 

As for what to expect, today’s update is one of Palworld’s biggest. But chief among the additions is the game’s first raid boss, a heavily anticipated aspect of the survival game’s endgame. Let’s break it all down: 

Raid Boss

The first Palworld raid boss is now live

You can summon raid boss pals by using slabs at new Summoning Altars

These pals are extremely powerful and cannot be captured. 

Pal eggs can drop after defeating raid boss pals. 

There is an “extreme” version of the first raid boss that Pocketpair says “is incredibly powerful and difficult to defeat.” 

Other New Content

New “Training Manual” items have been added. These manuals allow you to give experience points to Pals.

New item “Ancient Technical Manual” has been added. This manual gives you ancient technology points and can be randomly found inside dungeon chests.

New “Recovery Meds” items have been added. Using these meds will slowly recover your HP over time.

New item “Homeward Thundercloud” has been added. When used, this item will instantly move you to your nearest base.

New item “Ability Glasses” has been added. When equipped, you can see Pal’s stats.

New stat boosting items have been added: “Power Fruit, Life Fruit, Stout Fruit”. These items will boost Pal’s stats when used.

Added a new passive “Mercy Hit”. Pals with this passive cannot reduce enemy HP below 1 when attacking.

New item “Ring of Mercy” has been added. When wearing this ring, you cannot reduce enemy HP below 1 when attacking.

New armour “Multiclimate Undershirt” has been added. Protect yourself against both the heat and the cold with just one slot!

New building “Electric Egg Incubator” has been added. This incubator consumes electricity to automatically adjust the temperature to the optimum temperature for each egg.

New building “Ore Mining Site” has been added. This mining site allows you to produce ores from the comfort of your base!

Pals

Kelpsea can now produce Pal Fluids at the ranch

Dumud can now produce High-Quality Pal Oil at the ranch

You can now reduce the weight of metal ore while riding Surfent Terra

Increased the amount of ore dropped while riding Astegon

You can now raise Pal’s rank to the maximum with a single synthesis using the Pal Essence Condenser (Condensation progress is now accumulated in the individual Pal)

Negative Pal status will now be resolved after spending some time in the Pal Box

UI

While aiming a sphere, it will now display how many of the target Pal has already been captured

You can now check the cooldowns on partner skills for all your Pals on the main screen

Equipment and item stats are now visible on the technology screen, even if you have not unlocked them first

The tutorial has been improved and renamed to “Journey”

You can now show/hide the “Journey” in the game options

Damage number display size can be changed in the game options. (In Raid Boss battles, the damage numbers tend to overlap a lot and it may be difficult to see, so we recommend adjusting the size)

Player

Items dropped by players after death on a dedicated server can now be picked up by anyone after 24 hours of real-time have passed

Added a new “sleeping” player emote (edited)

Bases

You can now allow/disallow certain work for base Pals at the Monitoring Stand

Chest filters have been added. Select item types to allow or disallow inside chests

Crafted items are now transported from crafting facilities. Selecting “allow transport” when crafting will result in Pals transporting those items to chests when finished

You can now edit your character’s appearance at any time by using the “Antique Dresser”

Building and building piece placement rules have been relaxed (you can now connect stairs facing upward; roof pieces can now directly connect to foundations; triangular walls can now be connected to stairs)

You can now force a Pal to work and cancel their break by picking them up and throwing them towards a facility (Pals recover their SAN while taking a break, so be careful!)

Fixed assignments remain fixed, even after bad events occur. Previously, some assignments would change due to certain conditions, but now they will remain fixed unless the Pal is placed inside the Pal Box

Balance Adjustments

Minimum heat and cold resistance have been added to various armour. You will no longer need to take off your heat-resistance armour when it is cold at night in the starting areas!

Reduce the button press time in the egg incubator

Change the pattern for Jormuntide Ignis to something more unique

Added legendary blueprints for some firearms (Dropped from specific enemies)

Corrected the selling price of diamonds

In single-player, it is no longer possible to select the initial spawn point for multiplayer

Blocked the back of the starting area with rocks to prevent players from getting lost or stuck

The increased attack power multiplier of partner skills that increase the player’s attack power while riding has been uniformly reduced from 2.0 to 1.2

Eggs now have a small chance to produce Alpha Pals

Flying and floating Pals are now immune to falling damage

Shop price adjustments

The Traveling Saleswoman (1950) was a “Joan Davis Production.” Joan Davis is a female comedy icon. She has mostly been forgotten or maligned. Part of the problem is that her sitcom, I Married Joan, was filmed with a distracting and contrived “preview track,” the worst of all laugh track technologies. 

Comparisons to I Love Lucy didn’t help. Her comedy was also extremely broad and that type of comedy doesn’t usually age well.

However, her film career throughout the 1930s and 1940s was extremely impressive. She played comic relief in many B-pictures and a ton of A-pictures, eventually working her way up to be the lead star in many comedy films. She was a contract player at Fox in the 1930s and at Universal in the 1940s. By 1950 she even had her own production company on the Columbia Pictures lot.
