⋆.˚ chapter iv: take on me ᝰ.ᐟ
previously on: 🕰️ BACK TO THE FUTURE 🕰️
"Don't worry," he says with an easy confidence. "We'll figure this out. But first, let's make sure you don't look like you're from outer space."

The next morning, Steve takes you to Melvald’s General Store, their first stop on your journey to adapt to 1985. The whole vibe of the store amazes you, it was all retro-y, filled with posters and neon lights all over, just like what you’ve always imagined.
“You’re gonna drool over if you kept your mouth open.” You didn’t realize that you’ve been keeping your mouth open in awe at the store.
You can tell Robin and Dustin was looking at you weirdly, knowing that this is just some regular clothing store. But not for you. For you, there is nothing more magical than being in an 80s clothing store, filled with retro and disco like clothes hanging all over.
The jingling of the old-fashioned cash register catches you off-guard, and she marvels at the analog setup. There was even no card scanner! Or a QR code for cashless payment.
Steve raises an eyebrow, clearly amused when you slightly walked over to the cash register. “Welcome to the world of cold, hard cash,” he teases, handing her a few bills for small essentials.
From there, they head to another local thrift store, where Robin joins them, ready to make an event of it. The air is filled with the scent of worn leather and old fabric as Robin rummages through the racks, dramatically holding up an oversized blazer with shoulder pads. “Future girl, this screams power suit,” she jokes, earning a giggle from you.
Even Steve and Dustin helped to find you a nice pair of clothing for you to wear today, and at least a few days to come since they know it won’t be easy to fix that watch.
After much trial and error, some of it clearly for Robin’s amusement, you settle on high-waisted jeans, a striped crop top, and a denim jacket. Steve insists on adding a pair of white sneakers to complete the look.
“You’re officially a Hawkins local,” he declares with a grin as you twirl in front of the mirror, amazed of yourself. Sure, in 2025 people still dress like this. But this… All this felt so different for you. The whole vibe, the people, everything just felt like what you’ve always dreamed of.
˗ˏˋ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ⊹₊ ⋆ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆.˚ ‧₊˚ ⋅ ˎˊ˗
“Okay, so… since you’re from the future, I’m guessing you already know stuff that happened in the 80s, correct?” Dustin asked. We were just chatting on the backseat of Steve’s car, whilst Steve was driving to to the arcade, Robin sitting on the seat next to Steve. Dustin requested to take you to the arcade, wanting to show you the amazing stuff that happens on the 80a.
“Like… what, exactly?”
“Music! You know what I mean?”
“Like… Madonna and shit? Blondie? The Runaways?”
“Yeah, yeah! Like that!” Dustin was amazed when you said all those famous names.
“I’ve listened those on Spotify, kid. So… I’m not that stupid for a person who’s a maniac about the 80s.”
He looked at me confused when you said ‘Spotify’, as if asking for explanation about it without telling you.
“It’s like a music platform, you know? In this.” You showed my phone to him, unlocking it, and opened Spotify. You began searching for my downloaded playlists since you got no internet service here and played Take On Me by a-ha.
“Whoa…” Dustin let out an amused laugh. You even caught Robin’s attention. “I thought you said that’s a phone?”
“Yeah, it is! Except it’s not just for calling, and sending messages. You can listen to songs, watch movies, call people and see them through the phone, read books and magazines online, and many more!”
Your explanation about your phone caught all their attentions, including Steve, while you remind him to keep his eyes on the road.
“You’ve played Pac-Man?!” Dustin exclaimed. You tried to explain to him that you also played it on your phone.
“Oh you’ll never beat Steve. See that? That’s the highest score. And who does that belong to? Steve Harrington.”
“Oh, so the sailor likes to play Pac-Man…” You teased Steve who just entered the arcade after parking his car.
“Well, good luck on trying to beat that, future girl.” Steve challenged you, making you raise your eyebrows.
“Might as well let me try to beat your ass, Harrington.” You pulled up your jacket sleeves and began playing Pac-Man, just like what you always knew. You have to make Pac-Man eat up all the yellow stuff and make sure not to get caught by the ghosts.
On the first try, your Pac-Man was cornered by the ghosts already, and the screen immediately flashes GAME OVER.
Steve smirks. "Not as easy as it looks, huh?"
"Let me try again!" you insist, and to Steve's surprise, she improves quickly.
By your third try, you beats his high score, and the group gathers around, cheering her on.
"Looks like the newbie's got skills," Dustin says, impressed.
“Fun fact, there will be a Pac-Man movie in 2015. It’ll be called ‘Pixels’.” You said, smirking at Steve who seemed to be annoyed.
Steve, pretending to be annoyed, mutters, "Beginner's luck." But there's a glint of pride in his eyes as he watches your grin in triumph.
˗ˏˋ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ⊹₊ ⋆ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆.˚ ‧₊˚ ⋅ ˎˊ˗
As the night falls, the rink lights dim slightly as the disco ball spins, casting a cascade of shimmering lights across the floor. Dustin and Robin let Steve be your guide for tonight in the skating rink, since Steve is such a good skater deep down. Meanwhile, you and Steve sit side by side on the edge of the rink after their dramatic fall, catching their breath between fits of laughter.
The faint buzz of 80s pop hits fills the air, but you are hyper-aware of Steve’s shoulder brushing against hers and the way his smile lingers as he glances her way.
“You okay there, klutz?” he asks, nudging her lightly.
“Oh, I’m the klutz?” you retort, raising an eyebrow. “You’re the one who dragged me into that spin of death.”
Steve chuckles and raises his hands in mock surrender. “Hey, you almost nailed it. I’d give it a solid six out of ten.”
“Wow, generous,” you mutter, rolling your eyes but smiling all the same.
Steve leans back on his elbows, looking out at the rink. “You’re actually not bad, though. For someone who didn’t even know how to skate, you’ve got potential.”
You tilt your head, watching him curiously. “Well that’s encouraging.” You gave him a sarcastic look.
You’re about to press him further when he stands up, brushing imaginary dust off his jeans.
“Come on,” he says, holding out a hand. “We’ve got time for one last lap before they kick us out.” You hesitate, staring at his outstretched hand. Your eyes moved to his, watching those brown eyes carefully. There’s something in his eyes, a warmth, a quiet sincerity that makes her heart skip a beat. Slowly, you place your hand in his, and he pulls you to your feet, steadying you when you wobble.
Both of you step back onto the rink, and this time, you feel a little steadier. Steve skates alongside yourself, pacing slow but steady as the music shifts to a softer, dreamier track. The glow of the disco ball reflects in his eyes, and for a moment, the rest of the rink seems to blur away, it was like you’re the only ones left in that rink.
“You know,” you say quietly, breaking the comfortable silence between them, “I never really had nights like this. Back home, I mean.”
Steve glances at you, intrigued. “What do you mean?”
You shrug, looking down at your purple skates. “I was always so focused on everything… school, responsibilities, the future. I never let myself just… be a teenager. Not to mention the strict parents.” You sighed, looking at his eyes. “It’s not as fun to live in the future like they said.”
He nods, a knowing look crossing his face. “Yeah, I get that. I used to be so caught up in trying to impress people, be the king of Hawkins High or whatever. But looking back? None of that stuff really mattered. This…” He gestures around them, his gaze landing back on you. “this is the kind of stuff that sticks. The moments you don’t plan.”
His words hang in the air, and you feel a pang of something you can’t quite name. Nostalgia for a time you only just started experiencing, maybe, or the bittersweet knowledge that moments like this are fleeting.
“I think you’re right,” you admits, your voice soft.
You skate in silence for a while, the music wrapping around them like a warm blanket. Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper playing vividly. You find yourself stealing glances at Steve, noticing the way his jaw clenches in concentration as he avoids an oncoming skater or the faint curve of his smile when he catches you looking.
At one point, Steve slows to a stop in the middle of the rink and turns to face you. “Alright, future girl. Let’s try one more spin.”
You groan at his request. “You’re relentless.”
“Come on, it’s your redemption arc,” he teases, his grin widening.
With a sigh, you let him take your hands, and attempt another spin. This time, it’s less of a disaster, though you still stumble into him at the end, your hands clutching his jacket for balance.
“See?” he says, his voice low. “Told you you’d get it.”
Your faces are close now, closer than you’ve been all night. You can feel the warmth of his breath, the faint scent of cologne lingering in the air between them. Your heart pound in your chest, but you can’t bring yourself to look away.
“Thanks,” you whisper, your voice barely audible over the music.
“For what?” Steve asks, his expression softening.
“For this. For making me feel like I belong here,” you said.
He smiles, a genuine, almost shy smile that catches you off guard. “You do belong here. More than you think.”
The moment stretches out, the world around them fading into the background. You aren’t sure what’s supposed to come next, but you knows one thing.
For the first time since you arrived in 1985, you don’t feel like a stranger.

I'm losing my mind.
Destiny 2 has a new community event, in the first week it involved us scouring the game to find 60 unique chess pieces.
Then this week a chess board appeared, we got shrunk down and began to play.
After winning 27 games of chess the board wiped, and revealed something new;
Unique boards with different frequency codes, like x2017.
There were frequency codes from x0001-x4096, which meant there were 4096 unique boards for each player to find.
So we did, we gathered all of the boards, uploaded them to a database and began to align them, they created a QR code;
This QR code led to this website;
Which requires you to navigate it, and when you get to input experiment codes, it requires you to generate a FEN code to input.
How?
Using a website like this;
So, the goal is to recreate all 4096 boards, get the FEN codes, and input them into the website, yet not all FEN codes seem to work.
All I've pieced together is that it's the Apollo company, it has Marathon code names, it involves time travel, and the Cabal have apparently interacted with this prior.

Wind Breaker Exhibition Kyoto - Full review with audio guides
I went for WinBre Ex two weeks ago! It was STUNNING and AMAZING 🤩 Here’s a rundown of what went down (with plenty of simping from yours truly)! I also bought the audio guide, so I’ll also be summarising the audio guide at the points where it’ll be played. The guide features the first year trio.
Disclaimer: Photos are allowed for most sections of the exhibition. As many of the exhibits are manga panels, I was more selective in the photos I've shown here, to focus more on interesting ways the panels were shown, or on exhIbition-exclusive displays. (moots, feel free to DM me if you want more photos!) Where there are no photos in my post, photography was not allowed. I did not take photos of every single exhibit on display, only the panels or art works that I found especially interesting (or those with Umemiya cos I'm his simp).
Entrance
You’ll be given a QR code to scan to get the audio guide when entering, if you bought it! There are 9 tracks in total.
The bonuses you’ll get when entering are a random sticker (I got the omurice one with Sakura and Umemiya!!!) and a physical ticket. You can also purchase the ticket with a pass case and photo card, but I didn’t find it very cost-effective so I bought just the ticket ^^;
At the entrance there’s a huge poster of the key visual of the exhibition art, as well as the noticeboard at the entrance to Makochi!
Section 1: Character intros
The first section has cutouts of the first years! Manga panels of the first chapter and a few other general key visuals, such as art by Nii-sensei for the anime airing, are here too.
They also have Sakura’s real uniform on display!! The detail on the embroidery is sooo intricate.
Audio guide 1: The scene starts with Nirei dropping his notebook. Suo (if i remember correctly)picks it up and returns it to him, and Sakura tells Nirei to take better care of it. Nirei tells Sakura about how he wants to use the notebook to help Sakura reach the top, since Nirei himself can’t fight, and he hopes to help using the information on people inside it. They go through Sakura’s profile (stuff like his height, weight, likes and dislikes etc.). Suo tells Sakura that he’s really loved, and Sakura gets all blushy and tsun (SO CUTE).
Section 2: Meeting Boufuurin
This section is in the same area as the first, and starts with a photo spot!
They have two uniform jackets for you to try on for photos (Sakura’s and Sugi’s) and the size difference is real lmao. The one in front is Sakura’s, and it’s considerably shorter than Sugi’s. I also took some dumb photos here www (available on request by DM, moots only)
The rest of Boufuurin is introduced here too!! But um. As you can see I kind of. Only had eyes for one person. Oop.
Audio guide 2: The trio are discussing how their class is full of interesting people, and they give a quick profile of Tsugeura, Kiryuu, and Sugi. When Nirei says that standing next to Sakura and Suo gets him all excited, Suo mentions that Sakura is all red, and Sakura gets really flustered. Sakura demands Nirei to hand him the notebook so he can search for Suo’s weak point, but the only information he found is whatever was in Suo’s character profile (specifically his love for Chinese-style fashion and tea). They also discuss the embroidery on their uniform, and how long Sugi’s uniform is because of his height.
Section 3: Shishitoren arc
This section summarises the Shishitoren arc, and includes panels from the manga, as well as keyframes from the anime!
Note: For the Tokyo exhibition, the Shishitoren tunnel was there, but from what I remember the Kyoto one didn’t have the tunnel (I might have missed it in my excitement to see Umemiya x_x)
Audio guide 3: The trio see a cat, and they discuss the Shishitoren members. According to Nirei’s notebook, Choji claims to understand cats, and there’s also some discussion about how Hiiragi and Sako had a past together, and they also talked about Togame and Sakura’s fight. Sakura comments that the fight he had this time felt different from those he had in the past, and Suo tells Sakura that he has climbed the staircase to adulthood while petting his head. Sakura gets all pissy (like a cat) and tells Suo to stop petting him like a cat. (LMAO)
Section 4: Pothos
There’s a recreation of the bar counter at Pothos here! (I also have a photo with myself here, request by DMs from moots only) You can sit here for photos, and they even recreated the omurice and coffee!!!
Audio guide 4: This takes place at Pothos. The trio have come to get some food, but Kotoha is out for now. Nirei quizzes the other two about what Kotoha likes, and the answer is that she likes taking care of plants. Kotoha returns, and the audio guide ends.
Section 5: Umemiya and the Shitenou
This section introduces you to the four kings! The scroll with the Boufuurin structure is super cool www.
It’s also super nice that they have the panel with Umemiya and the four kings in life-size!!! It’s almost like Umemiya is speaking straight to you ;-:
Audio guide 5: The trio discuss facts about Umemiya and Hiiragi. They warn you not to follow Hiiragi’s way of spamming Gascon 10, and discuss a bit about the role of grade captain. In a throwback to Sakura wanting to become the top (Teppen), they called the role of being the grad captain the Teppen of their class too. (SO CUTEEEE ;-; SAKURA IS SO LOVED)
Section 6: KEEL
This is the keel arc, and there’s this super cool wall with the Keel logo. The whole area was also decorated to look like the warehouse where the fight took place! You can see how the walls were made to look like the sheet metal in the warehouse.
They also have the panel of Kaji-paisen coming to the rescue in a life-sized board!!!
But I think the coolest panel is the first years in mid-fight!
Audio guide 6: Nirei is almost run over by a car!!! Nirei and Suo warn Sakura about watching out for Keel, and they discuss the traits of Keel. There’s also a bit of discussion about Kaji-paisen; the headphones seem to be a gift from someone important to him ^_^
Extra: Special video
No photos or recordings are allowed for this section, but it’s a video compilation voiced by Sakura about the growth he experienced up till the Keel arc ;-; it starts with how he was alone, and gains many dependable friends in Boufuurin, and how he’s no longer alone ;-; it is very beautifully thought out and created, and I really loved how poignant and moving the piano soundtrack was ;-;
Section 7: Roppo-Ichiza
This entire section looks like a night club, with all the blue lighting and use of metal grilles. There’s profiles of Tsubaki-chan, Kanji (forgot to take a pic of his oops) and Suzuri here (this one’s for you @/kafkaoftherubble!!!)
Audio guide 7: The trio start by talking about Gravel and the nature of the group. They also talk about Roppo-Ichiza, and mention that Umemiya and Nakamura (Kanji, not Yuuichiro www) know each other personally. When Nirei and Suo comment that Tsubaki-chan could be meeting someone she likes in the Roppo Ichiza area, Sakura starts stammering and blushing. (YOU CAN HEAR THE BLUSH SO MUCH)
Section 8: Umemiya’s past
THIS IS MY FAVE SECTION BTW I TOOK SO MANY PICS HERE.
A small note that the notebook with “8” on it marks the points where there is an audio guide track! The audio guide specifically describes this section with the two scrolls:
Audio guide 8: Nirei starts the ball rolling on the past of the current Boufuurin. For the first part, he reads the text in the two scrolls in a super exaggerated and old-fashioned (think Kabuki-style without the elongated syllables!) manner. Suo observes that Nirei really likes the town, and Sakura says that he will protect the town.
ALSO THIS IS HANDS DOWN ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ILLUSTRATION BOARDS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EXHIBITION
ALSO THIS. PLEASE LOOK AT THIS.
Section 9: FRANK
At the time of the exhibition, this arc was still ongoing! Only the first part where Boufuurin is prepping for the fight is featured.
I also LOVE this cover art, I’m so glad they have a big version of it here!!
They also reproduced the briefing by Mizuki about the plan to protect the town! The projector will also show a QR code that you can scan which takes you to a web page that replicates the LINE group chat created by Mizuki for Boufuurin. (Available by request by DMs, moots only)
(edit 22 October 2024) I tried scanning the QR code here^, it brings you to the first chapter of Wind Breaker on Magazine Pocket lmao.
Some of the manga panels and art featuring the start of the fights is also featured here!
Audio guide 9: Note that this is actually an epilogue to the exhibition that does not touch on this arc. The trio say the Boufuurin motto. The cat from audio guide 3 gets ahold of Nirei’s notebook, and Sakura chases after it!
Extra: Anime-related content
For this section, photos are not allowed. The OP and ED videos are showed, and there’s a wall of 16 shikishi (signature boards) from the voice actors, production staff, and even natori and Young Keel! The shikishi which really stood out to me was Suzuki Ryouta’s (Hiiragi’s seiyuu), he wrote “Gascon Ten?” (HELP I’M CRYING) (t/n: This is a very dumb pun. In Japanese, the Wind Breaker Exhibition is called “WinBreTen” for short, as 展=てん=pronounced as “ten” = exhibition.)
Merch haul
I bought an aggressive amount of merch from the exhibition, and surprisingly my favourite piece isn’t anything Umemiya related, but it’s Nirei’s notebook. It’s super cute that it’s marked as Nirei’s own notebook, and even includes all the character profiles until Tsubaki-chan!!!
Also the finger puppets were available starting from the Kyoto exhibition, I’m SO GLAD I managed to get one.
Other significant stuff I bought of note: Yakiniku Teishoku t-shirt (I am wearing it as I type this lmao), WinBre10 candies (IT’S THAT PUN AGAIN HELPPPP). There’s a couple other things I got but these are the more interesting ones www
And that’s it! Thank you for sticking through with my very long post with an aggressive amount of simping for Umemiya. I hope you’ve enjoyed it and managed to get a glimpse of what it was like! I rate it Gascon10/Winbre10, will go again (I’ve been infected by Suzuki Ryouta).

I'm posting this so much later than I meant to, cause my new addiction to crocheting has stolen all my free time and brain cells, been sitting on this for almost two months 😂
I did my first author copy! Its actually super cool because their work "The Long Hangover" by @coffiocake was actually the first full bind I ever did, so its like I've come full circle!
I've re-read this work at least five times at this point, I love it so much! Thanks @coffiocake for your amazing work, and I hope I did it justice 💕
Since this was my first bind and my most recent bind I thought it would be cool way to showcase how much I have improved since I started bookbinding.
I have definitely gotten better at cover design. I learned how to upload new fonts into Canva for starters, which has made a huge difference. I really think the font makes the cover, and in the new design on the right, the font is literally called "Watchtower" 😆. In the original design, I was mainly just going for general gothic vibes. I still really like the original design, but I think the new one matches the work much better.
Aparently I've gotten worse at ironing on vinyl lol. Still haven't figured out the right temp, pressure, and time for this specific vinyl.


I think the most noticeable improvement has been in my construction of the text block. Since I started, I've picked up a lot of little techniques, to reduce swell, fold the pages evenly, and keep the signatures in line when sewing it together. I have also gotten nicer paper that is slightly thicker, the proper grain, and a softer color, while the first one was on regular printer paper.


My typesetting skills have greatly improved. I had soooooo many mistakes in the original 😂 the headers were on the wrong side of the page and I somehow didn't notice till I was folding the pages, my drop caps look a bit weird, and the chapter headers are too large and far down the page. The biggest thing is that the margins are off, another thing I didn't notice till I was folding. That part was actually an issue with how I was printing, and not with the actual typeset.

Now, I prefer to have my page numbers at the bottom instead of in the top header. I keep the top header centered, and I learned how to remove it on chapter header pages. I'm much better at inserting the drop caps and designing chapter headers. I think he new version looks much cleaner.
Something I only recently started doing, was including a copyright page; I find it adds a lot to how legitimate the book looks. It has all the work information, as well as the classic fanfic unaffiliation statement 😂
Something cool that I saw someone else do recently was include a QR code to the work on this page. I'll have to re-work my template, but I loved that Idea and am going to try and incorporate it on future binds.

so i was really hoping this would be over.
But it wouldn't be being queer without untold financial trouble.
because of all your generous donations my partner and I managed to get a deposit down on a place (finally). it comes fully furnished and the bills would only be energy and internet. It would probably be rough for a little bit but we'd make it and it wouldn't be happening without the generous people on this site.
And then my bank removed my arranged overdraft.
There was no warning and i had to go in person to find out it's because it'd been sat at the maximum for about a month. so now I'm suddenly £1000 in actual debt that i need to pay off.
i was told if i can start paying it off i should be able to apply for it again but I'm currently only at the applying for jobs stage so i won't be getting a paycheck any time soon. the money you have all given so far is in a different account and will be supporting us with the cost of food and other living expenses. and my partner's can cover rent and utility bills for at least a month.
if you give £1 or more i can do a quick 5 minute doodle of anything you want to the best of my ability as a thank you. please be patient if it takes a bit to receive. there's a lot going on at this moment
£0/1000
I'm @ WimpyImp on PayPal (use friends and family). I'll also include the QR code and my kofi under the cut
thank you for any help you can give even if it's just reblogging and have a good rest of your day
I swear I wouldn't be asking if i knew any other option right now. Please help a disabled T4T couple stay as far out of debt as possible.

Summary of the current state of the Chess/AION ARG from both a real life and lore perspective as of 9:19pm PST below the cut, for any guardians interested in catching up. Copy pasted from Discord from a few hours ago but there's been little progress on the state of the board so. Sorry if it's a bit hard to read.
After compiling together a bunch of people's different chess boards they got from completing a game in Eris' throne world that can be done once you collected all the chess pieces in the world that spawned last week, a bunch of streamers were able to piece together a QR code that led to the following site: http://aion-archives.net/ If you complete the puzzle, which is 27 weird chess boards you have to solve, you will be able to interact with a bowl of water that says "the water reveals" and it will give you a four number code (Signal Frequency x----) from 0001 to 4096, along with a custom chess board that you should take a photo of. If you plug in your chess board to any kind of chess site and receive the chess notation or FEN number, you can go to AION and input the following: your frequency number, and then the FEN number minus a few pieces. This will give you one of three things: Green text saying match confirmed, blue text saying data corrupted, or purple text saying quantum spin failed. The last one means you input your FEN notation wrong, while the first two mean you successfully put in the FEN notation. Meanwhile, people are also piecing together each unique board generated to match a frequency by their borders, and lining them into smaller chess boards assembled out of either red or grey tiles. By finding the piece in that bigger chess board created by the smaller chess board that would create some certain checkmate condition, this piece can be plugged into the in-game chessboard and if you complete a square successfully pillars around the arena will light up. They have the middle square done as of right now.
A handful of numbers on the website from frequency signals, as well as a bunch of other random dates (typically in coordination with stuff to do in either Destiny/Bungie or actual real life chess history) will spit out little bits of lore from the terminal. AION stands for the Apollo Intertemporal Observation Network, and we previously heard a mention of an "AION Initiative" back in some of the dialogue you can unlock from Vesper's Host by progressing through the puzzles in the questline. This was mentioned alongside the likes of Rasputin and Soteria, who we know are BrayTech AI. This fact also came to us from Astraea, who herself is a BrayTech AI. It is also very likely that the corrupted data outputs in some way link to the Corrupted Puppeteer, which is a failed BrayTech AI attempt to simulate a Vex Mind that possesses the ability to jump across various hosts and was able to construct some kind of neural network hivemind amongst House Salvation refugees on the Vesper Station.
A dialogue piece that only unlocks once the questline is finished actually reveals the message that was received through the Anomaly, and it is essentially that of someone named "Lodi" communicating that they are adrift. It is very likely this person is connected to AION. Additional texts you can receive from the website are prompts about an experiment starting today, traveling to another star, and a bunch of shit relating to astrophysics. If you bug the terminal too much, it will literally IP ban you which has happened to some unfortunate people in the twitch chat.
What is most interesting is that the code for the chess puzzle was cracked by uncorrupting FEN notations held behind the following set of numbers: 10071956 (I believe). This date aligns with some super important game in chess history, but importantly, you can see it be one of the dates counted down on the satellite in the short Edge of Fate teaser trailer.
and basically that is what we have so far
also if you input bungie related dates you can get easter eggs like pictures of a chess board made out of master chiefs
Right now a LOT of dialogue suggests stuff about jumping through space and time, which aligns with both what we know about the Nine and how the whole ARG is basically a game of 4D chess.

The Past 💛 Atlas

As I approach the club, the bass is already thumping from the floor above. Despite the cold, they have the large floor-to-ceiling accordion doors open wide to allow the air to flow for the dancers and DJ. Something I’m sure I’ll be grateful for later.
I notice Ash first, his back is to me with his teal hair practically glowing in the neon lights. He’s standing with Lex and a few of her friends in a circle on the side of the building. I met Lex’s friends once before at a concert last year, but I don’t remember any of their names. They all seem nice enough, but it wasn’t exactly the environment to get to know them, and I doubt tonight will be any different.

“Atlas!!” Lex squeals and runs toward me at full speed when she notices me walking up. I smile and brace myself as she jumps up and attaches herself to me, squeezing the air from my lungs. “I’m so happy you came!”
“Happy Birthday!” I say when she releases her grip, and I set her back on her feet.
“Thank you. Now, give me your hand,” she demands. I do as she says, and she places a small tablet in the center of my palm.
“Aha, what did you bring?” I ask, but she just smiles and pulls on my arm, leading me to the rest of the group.

I wave hello to everyone as we approach, and then sidle up next to Ash and lean into him to say, “Hey.”
He looks up at me and smiles, “Glad you could make it.”
“Did you take one of these?” I ask, showing him the tablet Lex gave me.
“Not yet,” he says, “still deciding if I want to.”
“I’m only going to take half if you want to split it with me.”
“Yeah, actually, that’s a good idea. I hate getting too fucked up.”
“Me too,” I say as I bite the edge of it, careful not to bite it directly in half because I know it will crumble a bit anyway. The flavor is incredibly bitter, almost too much even for me. I feel a little guilty handing the other half to Ash and watching his face twist up as he swallows it.

One of Lex’s friends, a petite girl with a blonde pixie cut and glitter covering her eyelids, hands us her water bottle, “Here, you guys can finish it.”
“Thank you,” I say sincerely. She is now my favorite. “Remind me what your name is?”
“Blair,” she smiles and points to herself
“Right, thank you, Blair.” I take a small sip of water, just enough to wash away whatever crumbs are left behind in my mouth, and then hand the bottle to Ash who happily chugs the rest.
“Thank you so much,” he says to Blair before walking over to toss the bottle in the recycle bin.

Once inside, we stop at the counter to check our jackets with a bubbly woman who is offering everyone a Starburst from a bowl placed conveniently next to a tip jar complete with a QR code to tip digitally if you don’t have cash. I don’t touch the candy, but I do leave a generous tip when I hand her my favorite zip-up hoodie. She hands me back a numbered stub, and I take a photo of it with my phone before shoving it into my pocket, just in case.
I turn to step aside and make room for the others but stop when I see Ash pulling his hoodie up over his head. His t-shirt is stuck to it causing it to rise up and expose the bare skin of his waist. My brain short-circuits, all thoughts leaving my mind aside from the image of wrapping my hands around that waist, of getting on my knees and— “Ow!”

Lex pinches the back of my arm, snapping me back to reality. I look over at her and she points at me, her eyes squinting to a glare behind her glasses, clearly in best-friend-protection mode. “What was that for?” As if I don’t already know. She’s forgiven me for the way I hurt Ash before but obviously not forgotten.
“Don’t play dumb with me. I’m watching you.”
I hold my hands up in surrender, “You have nothing to worry about, I promise.”
“Mhm,” is all she says before turning away and hooking arms with Ash as they walk up the stairs.

Can you make. Thespius Green from Great God Grove..............
oughhhh i still need to play great god grove i Love smile for me i have a jerafina mii on my tomodachi life island maybe ill show her off soon
this one is really tricky but in a very refreshing way all of the tinkering with this comes not from trying to represent anything abstract like fur or markings or anything but from trying to fill in the gaps left in the part variety in mii maker. like theres no very good geometric eyes like that and there isnt really anything close to a smile with a tooth gap. i spent the better part of an hour tinkering with this one and im still bouncing around some ideas


theres a lot going on here and basically every feature went through some drafts. i used the generic open mouthed smile but i used the like goatee mustache to make the tooth gap. ive used mustaches to alter mouths to have fangs and stuff before its a trick im very familiar with but i think this is the first time ive ever used it to make a tooth gap!! most of the work went into workshopping the eyes. the basic parts used here are the thick rectangle eyebrows and the flat closed eyes rotated and wedged together. at first i made them point down like the closed eye in the reference i used but the wiki says hes the god of love and mirth and i figured he looked too sad for someone so wonderful so i made them point up. looking through a lot of his sprites too it looks like "glowing eye pointing up" is more important than "closed eye pointing down" to his design and since winks are nearly impossible in base mii maker i figured i should prioritize the open eye as far as positioning goes. i also used the eyeshadow to try and draw more attention to the eyes even though it feels a little backwards to make the eyes darker to represent bright glowing. you know what would make this all easier though??


using a completely different reference that doesnt involve the wink at all!! whats easier than closing one eye if not closing both!!! i like these both quite a lot and im proud of the end result. even if it did take me like an hour to get here. ive given qr codes to both of them because i really do think its a toss up if one is better than the other i think its just a matter of personal preference

AND my great god grove friend approves so i feel ive done a good job. enjoy your great god!

misc initial thoughts/ramblings on the blood moon photos
ok messy thoughts because i have a lot of thoughts right now but i'm gonna try and be coherent. this may be a bit more Rambly than i'd like but. holy shit vessel.
so. the qr codes and emblems... let's see what we got here
in general/both
okay so bits and pieces of the symbols have cracks in them (the frames and axes, notably.) could this be representing a crack in the stability of whatever is happening? is this why there is a divide to behold?
as for the axes, some of the tmbte creatures (chokehold/drowned lord, granite) had them as well. however, neither of them have a labrys/double sided axe. (the apparition has a sledgehammer or something, though.) also, the labrys had some relevance in certain ancient greek cultures. quick wiki dive found that the word had relation to the word "labyrinth," with some believing that the word could mean "house of the double axe." house... like the two houses, perchance?
also, both images are rather detailed in texture compared to the emblems for both houses. this probably doesn't mean anything but. yahoo!!!
blood
uses the same hexagonal template as the houses but the radial pattern surrounding the axe is new
the roses/flowers!! we JUST saw these earlier w the new teaser -> could be a reference to"putting down the roses, picking up the sword" - aqua regia
there's a little star right where the flower stems almost meet too...
moon
two axes! two stars!
the spears on both sides/top/bottom remind me of the tmbte creatures (the summoning/the reaver, aqua regia) as they had similar looking ones...
THE FLAMINGOS AT THE BOTTOM!! vhilip strikes again
the pattern at the bottom kinda resembles vessel's mask with the three "eyes" on each side... (please god it would be so cool if he had a new costume w influences from this)
i feel like you can connect these plants to the vines growing on the various columns/railings in the teasers we've gotten as they kinda offshoot off of the center compared to the roses which are a reference to the various flowers
overlaid
neither of the parts have direct imagery from the houses, that is the feather and the crossed sword
hmm... the two Complete Each Other....
given that each part was from a different house, i wonder if this is some kinda Unified Symbol of sorts? perhaps a symbol for when the houses were one, as it's implied that feathered host is going against veridian's status quo which is presumably "the cycle"?
that, or maybe it's an end goal... maybe the two houses will unite (over the course of god knows how many songs) and then. bam you get this. but, the colors are just house veridian's, so maybe veridian will be triumphant in the end?
it's also interesting because you can argue that the image for "blood" can stand alone. like, it looks complete, sort of like a seal or icon. but with "moon," it's clearly missing something right at the core.
"emergence" (vague graphic novel spoilers)
ok now this is a word that was also teased from a cipher w/ both images. (i've heard there's leaks, i will Not be discussing any of those please keep them away from me as much as possibly thank you.)
so anyways, in the graphic novel, we learn that there's a lunar anomaly and the word "emergence" is used directly in reference to this. the first journal energy from the director states "15 days since emergence of the lunar anomaly" which causes the biology on earth to change drastically. this lunar anomaly is also referenced on the tmbte cover as tentacles emerge from the moon. the word "emerge" is also used to refer to "emergent biology" and "phenomena." a lot of flora in the book was also pink/reddish, similar to the plant life in the content from smhtdf. (this is me really hoping ToG lore somehow influences this drop...)
also, the stars are cool too. could just be a neat symbol but it is sleep token so. probably not... perhaps there's some association between that and
and with all of this coming out on the blood moon, i wonder if tmbte will have a clear influence on this album/song, because the setup sure is There for that...
#sleep token#sleep token theory#show me how to dance forever#smhtdf#house veridian#feathered host#maris sleepy analysis#maris sleepy thoughts#sleep token analysis

hey! sorry to bother you, but is there anything a teen without transportation in a rural area can do on their own? im pretty isolated, and theres barely anything around me.
Hey ya sprout 🌱
**A disclaimer Punk comes with some risk socially. Particularly if your in a rural area this risk goes up bc people Know You and also typically these spaces have a different vibe to alt ppl in general. Some activities are more or less risky and I'll try and do my best to give you a range of stuff from the whole spectrum! Of course this is a generalization of rural areas. Some palaces will be more cool then others depending in so many factors I couldn't go into here**
Rural solarpunk
Your gunna been to pick a topic, sorry babe. In order to not burn yourself out and in order to feel like you have an impact your gunna have to pick a cause to chip away at but I'll give you ideas! And remember just bc your focusing on one thing doesn't mean your ignoring or not helping others. Everything is interconnected and any help, helps all!
So let's give you some ideas to focus on:
Libraries- as a teen in particular you'll have access to a library at school, but depending on how big your town is you might have a public one as well. Become their biggest supporter! They are a great safe space, even conservative ones are still a good place to go for archiving/loitering purposes. They give you spaces to print stuff, to build clubs and community.
Archiving- if you cannot leave your house due to access you can always do stuff online and hear me out, i know when we do stuff online it feels like half points. Like we arent doing anything. I feel that with this blog, it feels so passive no matter how hard you work youll feel lesser. But Archiving is vital to humans! Think of the anthropologists wholl thank you down the road! Plus it does actually give you a way to have a physical representative of work your doing. Dvds, pirating media and archiving them to drives, collecting vinyls/tapes/cds!
DIY- To fight against fast fashion (although that barely exists in the towns I've been in tbh) and to stick out** you could make your own patches, battlejackets, gloves, etc.. They are statement pieces you can wear whenever your in town/at school/social spaces that ppl know what you stand for and who you are. Depending on who/where you are this might be risky so take what you can bare ok? You don't have to wear these items too you can just make them for later on!
Little libraries/little pantries- in a rural space you have more Gruella tactics you can take if you do them in random abandoned spaces. You could build a waterproof little pantry and stock it and leave info somewhere about it for ppl to drop off/pick up items. Stock it with mittens! With canned goods! With books! You might be able to do a space like this at school/library depending in how cool your town is too!
Zines- You could look into making a zine and even if it's digital you could have the QR code for download in places (stickers on lamp posts, flyers in school bathrooms, hidden in a churches pamphlet stacks >.>) making a zine is a cool task that is time consuming and informative and fun!
Vandalism- like I said you can often print off stuff at Libraries, or usually you can find a place to print stuff off near or at post offices depending on how modern your rural space is. if you have your own printer this will reduce your risk by quite a bit though! Create/find stickers or posters you want to toss across town or even school. I'd recommend starting off with some stickers and see how their handled, dipping your toes is important with these kinda things. If your really feeling it, and you know some abandoned places Moss Graffiti is also a good option! I've know ppl who have converted old abandoned stored to skate parks (I honestly have no idea how they built the ramps out of concrete but damn!! Good job guys!)
Also I'll leave you with 2 book recommendations as well-
Moxie - a RIOT GRRRL story about a girl who gets so fed up with her conservative town she makes a feminist zine and distributes it via girl bathrooms (even having a basically me too stickers and encouraging ppl to put it on boys lockers who have assaulted them). I know there's a movie, didn't seem to capture the same vibe tho so book!
Braiding Sweetgrass - this focuses a lot on reconnecting and adding story to nature around us and having science along side spirituality

Molly’s Cracker Jack Collection


Cracker Jack was a popular caramel popcorn and peanut food and every box came with a prize. Molly loved to collect and trade small toys from inside these boxes. Open the Cracker Jack Box and help Molly eat the pretend popcorn. She keeps her growing collection in an old cigar box. It includes two marbles, a ring, two tiny animals, a World War II airplane and three paper toys.
Details about Cracker Jack and how I made the collection under the cut.
What are Cracker Jack prizes?
Cracker Jack is a caramel coated popcorn and peanut mix that was first sold around 1896. It is a staple of American baseball games and other sporting events. It’s even mentioned in the song that plays at every baseball game, “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”, written in 1908: “Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack, I don’t care if I never get back”.

Cracker Jack started giving prizes in their boxes in 1912, and throughout most of the century, these prizes were highly collectable among kids. Most of the prizes are plastic animals and other trinkets, as well as many paper or cardboard items like games and collectible cards. Some even included tiny books or flipbooks or dollhouse furniture. It’s fascinating to look through the years and see how things changed, from metal to plastic, the different pop culture references, the war years, et cetera.
Frito-Lay bought the company in 1997 and changed all of the prizes to flat things like tattoos, stickers, and jokes. Not the same experience at all–that’s what I remember from growing up. And now they don’t even include anything but a QR code for an online game.

Research
To make Molly’s collection, I looked through the 1940s pages of a collector’s guide on Internet Archive to get a sense of what was available at the time. I took some things from the 1930s and 1950s too. I printed out some of the flat games and collected other items based on what I could find in a teeny tiny scale–these toys were already really small so it was hard to find things that are small on an American Girl scale. I also did some searching about how kids collected these, and someone said they were often kept in old cigar boxes, which might not be PC enough for PC, but I liked the idea so I made a cigar box out of a fancy cardboard jewelry box I had. (more on collecting and trading below).
I have ideas to add more prizes, like printing out movie star trading cards and coming up with a way to make pins–I’m picturing something like the doll Grin Pins.

Molly Lore (head-canon)
I can imagine Molly trading away all of the warplane cards and toys to her brother Ricky for dollhouse furniture, jewelry, animals, movie star items, and so on. There were, unsurprisingly, tons of planes and other war items in Cracker Jack in the 1940s. It seemed like Molly was always getting planes and Ricky was always getting stupid doll furniture! They both liked the games, though. Molly and Ricky gave any leftover prizes they didn’t want to Brad.
One day Jill decided she was “too mature” for Cracker Jack and gave her collection to Molly, which was more annoying than it should have been, because there’s something kind of not fun about suddenly getting things all at once that you’ve been collecting slowly. Molly invited Susan and Linda over to pick through Jill’s collection, each girl choosing one thing at a time until it was divvied up. At least sharing with her best friends and not keeping it all to herself made it a little more fun.

Resources:
This collector’s guide was instrumental in my research. It both gave me specific ideas and a general sense of the experience and patterns of the prizes. There were a few telling editorial remarks like this one about Barrettes on page 127: “Left a lot to be desired if a little boy got it. (Then again, I’m sure that many a little girl was disappointed to get a “war” prize).” This is what gave me the image of Ricky and Molly trading their prizes and both of them being happy about it!
https://archive.org/details/crackerjacktoysc0000whit
Another resource I used was this selling website:
Although the search function is pretty awful, it is good for scans of paper prizes.
Here is the google doc I used to collect the pictures I wanted to print in what seemed an appropriate size: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/196ByHxFQ8G21VbtBmT5H2ZCmigQnAYsUfbzru0buivM/edit?usp=sharing

this post is just some info on yesterday's DA:TV Fandom party at SDCC. :>
What was this party? [Here] is a post with the pre-event information that was made available. [Here] is a pre-event article that contains an interview with the organizer. And [this article] on the event contains some additional information, like on the versions of this party held in previous years, which helps for context. There was no new DA:TV information of note from the party
Links to Fandom (the company's) Twitter account, their Instagram. If you look at these (including on the Instagram Stories), you can see some pictures and stuff from the party. for those interested in watching a video version of some of these, Ghil Dirthalen posted a video recording that she made last night of Fandom the company's Instagram posts [here]. there are also more pictures and stuff from the party that you can see if you click through to [some of] the source links below here in the rest of this post.
As was previously reported the other week, Jason Derulo headlined the party (like as in a gig). Here's an image of him there [source] (the him singing DA stuff part was a joke tho btw hh). They considered having an orchestra because of DA's musical score but they got Jason Derulo
One of the party props was a big background of the DA:TV key art [source]. Here you can see the DA:TV logo on another backdrop. [source] This tweet contains both of these backdrops from a different angle
There was also an archway prop based on this DA:TV key art, and big screens which projected images from the game (including of Varric and this screenshot) [source]. It looks like these images were also projected to television screens? [source]
This tweet contains the questions and the answers to the DA-themed scavenger hunt (transcription of this at the end of this post), as well as a partial look at the map layout of the party
This is how photos taken in the DA themed photo booth look (this DA:TV screenshot was the backdrop) [source]
There was a VIP section at the party [source]. Gary McKay, the General Manager of BioWare, was there [source], as were John Epler and Zach Mendez (Lucanis) [source], Ali Hillis (Harding) [source], Nick Boraine (Emmrich) [source], Kari a BioWare Brand Director [source], Jessica Clark (Neve) [source] and Corinne Busche [source]. Erika Ishii (Rook) also visited but got kicked out of VIP hh [source]. Some cosplayers from the DA community were also personally invited by BioWare & PR at EA Games and attended! like Ladytoxie as Bellara ^^ [source, two], and some celebrities also, such as Doug Jones [source]
Ladytoxie mentioned that they will be posting a Vlog of their experience and coverage of the event, "probably next week" [source], having documented it at the time [source] (tysm!!)
Ladytoxie reported that it was a good, memorable experience and that everyone was lovely [source]
There was supposed to be some DA:TV-related pins and lanyards being handed out at the party, but these got stuck at customs, so there wasn't any goodies being handed out [source]
Links to some more images from the party: [one], [two], [three]
Scavenger hunt text (questions and answers) transcription:
"Clue 1: Step up to spot the flames where Fandom's 20-year tale burns bright, celeberate twenty years of worldbuilding where this terrifying Dragon Age wiki takes flight. Answer: Archdemon Clue 2: Follow the path and find the shining blue gem, discover the wiki of this Dragon Age elven hedge mage for your chance to win!

I think I need some help with the e-sims? I've been trying to send one QR code to gazaesims since January 2. I've forwarded the code to them two days ago on 2 different email addresses, but I haven't gotten a response.
Am I doing something wrong?
I don't have much money, but I want to send more e-sims next week during the General Strike. But I can't if they aren't getting the codes I sent them.
Wait, is buying QR codes bad during the General Strike next week?
so buying esims is not bad at all during the strike and i highly recommend it if you can.
though i'm not sure... i actually am not sure how they check the esims or distribute them or anything. i would really appreciate if someone who did know could send in an ask or respond to this post?
