#ALTIS

[charophyte]

These past couple of weeks I started to draw all of my selfships so I can have art for my selfship website! I have four more to do, but I prioritized these first :3

Eventually I will use these in their own info posts but for now I'll just post about them in little blurbs!

Info under the cut:

Ash and Jotaro

Ash moves out to Florida for a wetlands ecology graduate program, meeting Jotaro during the lowest points in both of their lives. It doesn't take long before Ash realizes that there is more to Jotaro than he's letting on. The pair maintain a distant but passionate relationship as Ash is drawn further and further into Jotaro's life and the lives of Stand users.

Ash, Jotaro, and Val (OC by @titaniumfae)

Everybody Lives AU where Ash is with both of their future partners from 'canon'. The three start a messy but oddly sweet family together, having two kids and working as professors. All of them have to reconcile with their personal issues in order to maintain their lifestyles.

Ash and Noi

Ash is a human scientist who masquerades as a sorcerer in order to study them closely, wanting to invent a method to produce magic without the need for magicians or devils. When they meet Noi, they are intimidated by her, but can't help but grow closer with her as they study each other. They end up irrevocably intertwined with the rest of the En family.

Abel and Ermes (SBR AU)

Abel is down on his luck, trying to make a more honest living by working on a horse ranch owned by Ermes' father. He secretly lives with a curse he inherited from his father, seeking a way to rid himself of it without passing it on. When the ranch threatened financially, the pair join the Steel Ball Run, both with their own hidden ulterior motives for joining.

Altis and Polyphemus

Altis has taken up a life of crime, becoming a thrill seeker due to a curse that has deprived them of sensual pleasure. During a heist gone wrong, they are caught by the cyclops Polyphemus and offers to work in exchange for their own life. In an odd twist of fate, the two relate to each other more than anticipated, both ostracized by their peers after being deceived by someone else.

Cinnabar and Jasper

During the height of the rebellion on the Earth colony, Cinnabar acted as a scourge, Jasper an unstoppable soldier. Now, after the reign of the Diamonds has entered its third Era, the two must seek out new, more peaceful lives. Cinna takes an interest in human culture, making her own transition into Era 3 far more graceful than Jasper's who is still stuck in the past.

[altis-of-olympia]

Hello, traveler, and welcome to my devotional blog. I'm a Hellenic Polytheist of 9+ years and a Priest in Training for King Zeus Horkios, Watcher of Othas. You may call me Altis. I use any pronouns.

On this page, you will find a variety of content, such as:

A few rambles about my practice, the community, politics, anything that passes my mind that I feel so inclined to discuss. If you do not like politics or do not enjoy political discussion, you do not have to interact with such posts! They will be labeled at the start with a political warning in case they make you uncomfortable. (#Ramblings of Altis)

Lessons and teachings are based on things I know, things that have been requested, and things that I feel are not taught as much as they should be. (#Teachings of Altis)

Journals about my Priesthood training, updates on this process and how things are going, as well as tasks and assignments I have been given by the King. (#Altis's Training)

General updates on my practice and rituals - as of right now, rituals aren't their separate category. (#Practice of Altis)

Everything will be marked with a proper header, like the one on this post.

Now, for the fun facts about me.

This is not my main blog. @light-of-delphi is not my main blog either, but it's more popular and central. I won't be posting on that one as frequently, now that my path has changed and I'm walking a different road. Consider this blog a new chapter!

I specialize in divination with tarot cards, pendulums, coins, and dice. I have strong clairaudience (hearing the divine), and I still have plans of becoming an Oracle of some kind for the Gods.

I am a Cancer Sun, Capricorn Moon, and Scorpio Rising.

I am a lover of philosophy, art history, ancient history and civilizations, and art, with a special interest in the Italian Renaissance, Classical civilizations, and the French Revolution.

I have very strong views - I do not care if your views align with mine. They do not have to, so long as you're respectful about it. If you respect my views, I shall respect yours as well.

I run a 15+ server dedicated to the education on Oathsworn paths. You can find that here.

I sincerely hope none of this came off as intimidating - I am not meant to be intimidating. My status as a Priest in Training for King Zeus does not make me better than anyone, above anyone, or more important than anyone. We're all equals, here. Titles don't change that.

I am beyond open to novice practitioners interacting with my page, as I strive for education and learning! I love teaching and my inbox is always open for questions, comments, concerns, and a little bit of guidance whenever needed. Though, as I am an adult, I will not be going out of my way to dm with or private message minors. If there is any indication that you are a minor, I will not be responding to your dms or inboxes. Feel free to leave an ask instead. This is for my online safety and comfort as well as yours.

I look forward to bonding with you all, Xaire!

TOM'S Corolla Turbo

The TOM'S Corolla Turbo project in 1999 was a notable effort by TOM'S Japan to bring its high-performance tuning expertise to the Southeast Asian market, particularly the Philippines. By collaborating with Kilton Motors, TOM'S aimed to enhance the Toyota Corolla Altis, a popular sedan, to compete directly with the Honda Civic SiR, which was a favorite among car enthusiasts.

Key Features and Components

Aero Kit and Turbo Unit: The project included a stylish aero kit and a bolt-on turbo unit designed to boost both appearance and performance.

Components and Fabrication: Various off-the-shelf Toyota parts, like the turbo and intercooler, were utilized to keep costs down. Custom components included a welded tubular stainless steel turbo manifold and downpipe, aluminum intercooler piping, and a 3-inch mild steel exhaust.

ECU Tuning: TOM'S used its own programmable ECU for tuning, achieving an estimated 150hp at the wheels.

Driving Experience and Performance

Test Vehicle: The test vehicle, equipped with the TOM'S kit, showcased a sporty bodykit with a hood scoop, front bumper air dam, and a tall rear wing. It also featured exclusive 15x7 alloy wheels.

Turbo Performance: The small turbo provided quick spooling and minimal lag, making the car very responsive. The engine's power delivery was strong, easily lighting up the front tires up to third gear.

Publicity Stunt: In a drag race event, the car, driven by actor and TOM'S works driver Jomari Yllana, reportedly achieved an 11+ second, 167kph run down the 1/8th mile.

Market Reception and Rarity

High Cost: The TOM'S package had a high price tag of around P160,000, in addition to the cost of the Corolla Altis, making it affordable only to a few.

Limited Sales: Despite the efforts to market the car, only a handful of body kits and four complete vehicles were sold. These vehicles are now considered rare, with some still believed to be in their original condition.

The TOM'S Corolla Turbo remains one of the fastest and most powerful Corollas ever sold by local dealers in the Philippines. While opinions on its aesthetics varied, its performance and rarity have cemented its status as a unique and notable part of automotive history in the region.

My Hades 2 self insert OC, Altis (they/them)

Info under the cut (cw: suggestive):

Altis used to be a typical satyr (i.e. engaging in frat bro behavior, drinking and all the other things that come with being a satyr) until one day, they are cursed by a nymph, causing them to become sexless. They are outcast by their own peers, losing the one part of them that made them a satyr.

Now on the run, Altis takes up a life of crime, becoming a thief and thrill-seeker. Their primary targets were heavily guarded villas, palaces, or anywhere where they can steal a good drink or bite to eat. Eventually, this leads them to the outskirts of Ephyra, which has recently become overrun by undead.

As Altis robs a large cottage of its wine, they wake Polyphemus, who walks into the cellar to investigate. He is nearly fooled by their scent and the soft fleece on their back until Altis mistakenly drops one of the amphorae. Once Polyphemus smells the alcohol on Altis' breath, he threatens to kill them until they beg for their life. They agree to act as his servant, doing his menial chores for him.

Once Altis completes a season of work on Polyphemus' small homestead, they leave back into the wilderness, but realizes they have nowhere to go now. Every so often, they return to Ephyra with food to share or to share music with the cyclops.

The two bond over being fooled by someone else taking advantage of them, and losing the one thing that made them who they were, or at least, who they thought they were.

[altis-of-olympia]

I will just remind people to be kind in the face of conflict. Kindness generates productivity. Kindness leads to problem-solving. Remain level-headed, keep your chin up, and speak your mind if you deem it necessary. Do remember to heed the words of King Zeus, pick your battles wisely. The useless ones will waste your energy and you won't be able to fight your meaningful ones. May everyone who is having a tough day today look ahead to better days and may those who are having a good day see a thousand more.

Xaire, Altis.

Hardcore Pro Jedi people: «Anakin helped hunt down and kill the Jedi Order who were his family»

Me: Okay, that is the list of all Jedi Anakin have ever interacted with except Obi-Wan , Ahsoka and some characters like Vergere or Jax Pavan(who is stated to be his friend, but it is never shown)

Starting from the beginning:

Siri Tachi. Former love of his master and the master of his rival. KIA during the Clone Wars

Yaddle(Legends). Jedi Council member. Sacrificed herself in order to save Mavan cities from gas poisoning. Anakin blamed himself for it.

Ferus Olin. Friendly rival. Due to both of them acting like idiots on Corriban and causing a death of their friend by it, left the Order.

Darra Thel-Tanis. Friend. KIA before the Clone Wars, partly due to Anakin and Ferus not being able to put their rivalry aside for a freaking second.

Thru Veld. Former friend. They grow distant after Darra's death and never mended their relationship up to the Order 66.

Ry-Ghaul and Soera Entana. Masters of Darra and Thru. Did not have a lot of moments with Anakin. Entana was KIA during the Order 66, and Ry-Ghaul not so long after it

Jorus C'baoth. Not actually a normal Jedi, but Anakin respected him. Departed to the Outbond Flight where he perished.

Lorana Jinzler. Worked with him, but died after they separated and was considered MIA.

Luminara Unduli. Worked with him on Ansion mission, but however good relationship they have prior to Geonosis, Luminara by herself destroyed it when she suggested to abandon Ahsoka and Barris under the rubble.

Barris Offee. They were on friendly terms up to the time Barriss decided to become a terrorist and framed Ahsoka as guilty party.

Halagad Ventor. Were frinends, until Ventor refused to introduce Kharys to Order and belittled her with something she had no control over and attacked Anakin.

Jinn Altis. He consulted with him about joining Altisian community after the war, but nothing more, because canon evenets are obliged to happen.

Padawan Pack. His friends and battle comrades, with whom he generally had friendship and whom he geniunely mourned(a single person from all Order, no less).

Bhat Jule. Another comrade who died in Anakin's arms.

A'Sharad Hett. Not friends though, but he at lest managed to get Anakin cured of his rage and hatred towards tuskens(and also, after attacking him in the fit of rage and frustration, Anakin actually felt remorse).

Tono. Boxed for the sake of the plot, cause i hardly can imagine, why they couldn't send a droid with explosives to the generator. Another victim of the war and commanding officers stupidity.

Ki-Adi-Mundi. Was Anakin's temporary master after Obi-Wan was considered KIA, but also was the part of Jedi Council who decided it would be hella wonderful idea to sent a bunch of teenagers with uncompleted training to warzone. In the end, Anakin ended up a sole survior of this group.

And it's Legends. In current canon, he has even less social connections inside the Order and does not seem to consider it his community(no matter what some pro jedi fans say)

They were not his community, the were nothing but his coworkers(at many cases) And i wouldn't even start with Jedi being goverment-funded organisation and not some harmless hippies or anarchist commune.

And also Anakin is not always guity party for everything that went wrong in their relationships(the sole exception is Olin, Thel-Tanis and Veld case).

Ki-Adi-Mundi(as part of Council) sent his friends to death and attempted to talk Anakin of searching for his master.

Ventor attacked him.

Luminara decided to abandon his padawan under the rubble.

Barriss betrayed Ahsoka's trust and nearly get her executed.

So, by the events of ROtS Anakin has nothing to reach for in the Order and in Legends canon, he actively plans to leave it after war. And at the same time, he doesn't have anybody in Order he can be truly open about his grievances and troubles and as his Padawan Pack friends and his former Padawan's cases indicate him, Order doesn't care about its members. So, he ends up unprotected against Palpatine's careful manipaulations(which wouldn't have happened if Jedi Order was such a good community as their fans paint it).

If one man does not trust his family and the said family is shown to care more about its public image than searching for truth and actually helping someone, it may be that the man is not one to have all problems here.
