Frankenstein Recommendations

So, you see Guillermo del Toro and other movies coming out this year and you'd like to learn more about Frankenstein? Like to see the different options and adaptations out there? Well, lets give you a place to start! And all free of charge!

First, is the original novel, here you can read free on Project Gutenberg. If you're more of an audiobook person here is the free Librivox Recording on Internet Archive, and here is another unabridged recording free on Youtube!

Next, is the iconic 1931 movie with Boris Karloff, you can watch it for free here on Internet Archive. No, it's not book accurate, but it is the version of the story that sticks in the pop culture consciousness.

Now, if you want to watch an actually book accurate movie, there is a two part miniseries that you can watch for free on Youtube (Part Two)

And there's also a musical! Once more, it's (mostly) book accurate and free to listen to on YouTube! In fact, i would highly recommend checking out this animatic as it is what got me into the musical!

Hope this has helped someone!

the five notes you can play on the ocarina in OOT are (listed ascending on a treble scale) DFABD

this is important because every classic song new to OOT incorporates these five notes into the first couple of measures so that they can be used in gameplay

I might have been looking this up for reasons and was annoyed to realize that it's hard to just find someone listing out the actual five notes (the in game music sheet is difficult to read and not actually representative of the treble scale)

Character Age Groups for personal reference

<20s PC, Robin, Kylar, Whitney, Alex, Gwylan, Mickey*** 20s Wren, Mason, Harper****, Niki, Jordan***

30s Bailey*, Eden*, Sirris*, Doren*, Landry, Darryl(?**)* 40s Avery 50s> River, Winter, Leighton

"Middle Aged" Quinn (I googled the range for that and it's 40-60s so bbbbt) Unknown Morgan, Sam, Briar, Remy, Charlie, Black Wolf, Great Hawk Notes & Sources

*Described as "mid-thirties" **Darryl in a question about being classmates with Wren/Mason/Harper but it's kinda vague if they were in school at the same time, but, not classmates or if they were in school at the same time at all. But, also, confirmed to be a couple years younger then Eden. I checked their in-game description and it says mid-thirties! *** Implied to be in school w/ Harper/Wren. And, just going out on a limb based on them taking over Sydney's Deceased Parents role as head of the church. Who I am assuming was older then them (mid 30s like Sirris if they were alive). *** I am assuming based on Landry referring to them as a "kid". **** Harper is described as "not being older then 25" so puts them early 20s.

OK, but, How Distruptive is Glaze on Slow Render Setting Actually Look by Humans? Personal Experiment.

Here's a same picture I made rendered in Glaze on slow timer; the only notable size difference is that high-render on highest protection setting is 0.3 MB larger.

It does not seen much if you scroll and they're only take a quarter of your screen, so feel free to zoom in and see how it actually look. I plan to glaze all my Artfight Attack and Nightshade my polished ones. Let's just see if we can do a test by tomorrow...

//Need to explain a line of thinking when it comes to Fran and pronouns.

TLDR: They / She

Fran will always refer to themselves (in the current) as They, just because:

They don't really understand what they are and doesn't really consider themselves as a person...but an 'it' (A degrading line of thinking, but it is what it is).

Sure, their face is still somewhat feminine, but their form as a whole is androgynous. There isn't as strong pull in either direction, especially if they are in their cowl.

When referring to the time before they became the cursed form, they will refer themselves to She ... but if they will ever refer themselves as that again is anyones guess.

As a whole, they don't exactly care what other's refer to them as, it's not a make or break if other's get it wrong since they don't know themselves. It's the least of their problems.

So, I am not going to get around to posting the chapter tonight. Will try tomorrow but I am still trying to finish it so we'll see. But, it will take place during the New Year Light festival. I have gotten the outfits done for it! So here we go with that!

Like always, starting with the Crucible! This holiday most wear silvery white robes or slightly gold robes. Samwise wears something that is a little old fashioned because that is how he usually is. Lambert also does like wearing make up during this time.

Now to Frolo and his gang! Heket while being part of the celebrations didn't have anything special to wear (I also haven't designed her winter cloths yet. Sorry!). Frolo is making sure Leshy looks his best though! And Vesti does show up again, so there she is!

Narinder also just wears what he does during Hail to the Days

And once more, little Shadow matching his mom!

Yep, that's 100% the pitch quadrant from Homestuck. Pitch, blackrom, spades, hatedating/hatemarriage, all colloquialisms for kismesis/kismesissitude

Thank you sooooo much for explaining this. Now I definitely need to read homestuck. I think I truly understand why this is considered a fandom timeless classic. I'm starting to get it.

I'm looking at the wiki and DANG homestuck is revolutionary. This is peak art.

I’ve finally settled for a vanilla appearance for both Saeris and Arden in preparation for DA:TV

playing without mods has definitely been an experience but I can finally say I’m satisfied with how they both came out
