fuck it. I’m analyzing Dr Ratio’s eidolons.

I interpret eidolons as different facets of a persons character, tying back into their journey in life. (Also this shit loooong so I’m putting it under cut)

1. Pride Comes Before a Fall: this phrase originates from the Bible (proverbs 16:18), which talk of how the sin of pride will eventually lead to destruction, and telling one to practice humility*. To me, this phrase refers possibly to Ratio’s desire to be noticed by Nous. His pride originating from his previous achievements, lauded and touted as a prodigy from a young age (this is, of course, speculation because MIHOYO WONT GIVE ME RATIO LOOREEE). Through this pride, we can obviously see what happens next: he is never noticed by Nous, this is his fall. Either in the eyes of others, or himself (as it is never outright stated that Ratio sought the gaze of Nous, but I subscribe heavily to this line of thinking, due to his voiceline when you max level him: “If this day I have not gained the recognition of Nous, it stands to reason I never will at any point in the future”).

2. The Divine is In the Details: This is an idiom, although it’s more commonly said as “God is in the details”. This phrase is meant to emphasize the importance of the smaller, overlooked details which make up the whole. This is used most often in art and architecture, but can be applied to many other things. I connect this to Ratio’s meticulous nature as a scholar and researcher, but I also draw lines to his 1st eidolon. After Ratio is rejected by the higher powers, he turns instead to the “insignificant” common people, realizing their importance— we know that Ratio values all life, even one’s “marked by failure”, which others may overlook. Real divinity is not the God, but rather the beauty of humanity’s falls and successes.

3. Know Thyself: This was a proverb written upon the temple of Apollo, in Delphi, Ancient Greece. This has many meanings, from knowing your limits (either as one’s place in the universe, or your own mortality), to the broader interpretation by Plato as knowing your soul, and a a common theme of through studying the self could one know the universe. All of these relate heavily to Ratio, considering his tenets of self-improvement. He also references in his line when he finds an enemy target, “You learn to know yourself before your enemy.” (Which is ALSO a quote from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.) I think this one is pretty self explanatory as a continuation to the previous Eidolons, after his rejection, he seeks to reevaluate (relearn) himself and his stance in life.

4. Ignorance Is Blight: This represents Ratio’s goal to eradicate ignorance and stupidity across the universe, but it is also a inverse on the popular idiom “ignorance is bliss”. This idiom is basically everything Ratio stands against, he will know and say the truth unfiltered, even if it is uncomfortable. I also see this as Ratio finally discovering his calling as a teacher.

5. Sic Itur Ad Astra*: Written in the Aeneid, meaning “thus one journeys to the stars”. It has merged over time with another phrase in the Aeneid, “opta ardua pennis astra sequi” (meaning: desire to pursue the difficult-to-reach stars) becoming the common encouragement, “Reach for the stars.” We know Ratio never settles for doing anything in halves, and as a teacher, he constantly pushes others and himself to reach for high goals. Although his methods can be harsh, it is ultimately through strife (“— it is only in moments on solitude and despair, when help is absent, that fools grasp how to pick themselves up.”), that he seeks to unlock the potential of every person. This is most obviously seen in the Trailblazer Continuance quest: Crown of Mundane and Divine where he leverages the situation to try and topple the blind worship of the Genius Society on the space station.

6. Vincit Omnia Veritas: Meaning: Truth conquers all things. Surface level, this one is pretty straightforward too, Ratio values truth highly, and to him, it is the antithesis to ignorance, and therefore knowledge. As his Ultimate voiceline goes, he says, “Knowledge is the measure of all things. It reveals truth, and falsehood.” What I want to focus on however, is his pose in the eidolon. It is the exact same pose as Michelangelo’s David statue. This depiction is of David before his famous battle with Goliath. In this eidolon, Ratio is the figure David, who was also known as a symbol of the protection of civil liberties. And in by interpretation, Goliath is the stupidity he wants to eradicate. Just as truth conquers all things, Veritas will conquer all ignorance.

*— I also think this is why he consistently downplays himself and avoids the spotlight (calling himself a supporting character).

*— fun fact, this phrase is also used as the motto of Cambridge University, very fitting.

top tip for new gif people because i've seen a few recently (which is really cool) - tumblr will compress your gif to a width of 540px when you upload it. this compression won't retain as much quality as if you just resize it to 540px across in photoshop/whatever program you use. tumblr will suck the life out of your beautiful crisp 1080px gif whereas photoshop will do its best not to (resizing in vapoursynth or similar is ideal but that's not necessary and often too much effort for adults with real lives)

Form with further details (including rules and ordering).

More examples of my artwork.

Finally decided to open comms because I need to replace a few things (including buying new tips for my pen, which would be expensive down here). Anyway, here you go, the usual.

(If you see this post was Blazed, my sister got tumblr premium for free, from an unknown benefactor. We're Brazilian, we don't have money for tumblr premium and we would DEFINITELY not spend it on this website. Thank you).

No one ever talks about the fact that Elle Greenaway, Aaron Hotchner, and Spencer Reid all lived at the same apartment complex, The Langham.

We see Elle leaving her apartment when Hotch is following her in 2x6 - maybe that is where he learned about the apartment complex. We can also see Elle getting into her car, which has Virginia plates, so we know this apartment complex is in Virginia - not D.C.

In 5x1, we see Emily go to Hotch's apartment to check on him. This is also when we learn that Hotch is on the first floor in apartment 121. We later see him in this same apartment with Jack and Beth in 7x23 and when he is arrested in 11x22, just to name a few.

We see the outside of Spencer's apartment in 9x24 when Alex goes to leave after taking Spencer home. Spencer looks outside and watches Alex get into a taxi. We can see part of the green canopy and the street when Alex walks, but we can also see Spencer standing at the window. The window matches the same windows on The Langham. We can even see a spot on the sidewalk where the street lamp used to be. This is also when we learn that Spencer is on the second floor, apartment 23.

In 1x22, we see Elle be attacked in her home - not an apartment - meaning she moved into Langham apartments after her attack.

Up until Hotch was divorced, he lived in his home in Arlington, Virginia with Haley and Jack - so we know he moved into the complex sometime around season three or four.

We didn't see Spencer's apartment until season eight but we know in 3x2 that Spencer's Volvo has Washington D.C. plates but when we see his car again in 10x13, he had Virginia plates. We can assume that means that Spencer moved from Washington D.C. to the Langham apartments in Virginia at some point between season three and season eight.

Meaning, Elle lived in the Langham apartments before Hotch and Spencer - but Hotch and Spencer lived there only one floor apart at the same time.

Armenian language: short introduction

Let's talk about Armenian. Armenian is an independent branch of Indo-European languages.

Armenian language itself has existed for a long time, however, only in 405 AC did Mesrop Mashtots (a monk, linguist, translator etc.) create the Armenian Alphabet. Christianity had been the national religion since 301 AC, but the language used to preach the Bible was either Greek or Assyrian. Not to mention, Armenia had just been divided into 2 states (between Persia and Byzantium) so there was also the issue of maintaining national identity. They first tried to use The Danielyan letters (a bishop named Daniel from Syria was said to have Armenian letters saved from pre-Christian era), but the letters didn't cover the full system of sounds, so Mashtots and a number of his students travelled to Syria. After the journey that involved visits to many monasteries and libraries, Mashtots returned with the 36-letter alphabet. The Greek alphabet letter order was copied.

The first sentence translated into Armenian was a passage from the Bible: Ճանաչել զիմաստութիւն եւ զխրատ, իմանալ զբանս հանճարոյ (to understand wisdom and advice, to know the words of the geniuses).

Armenian has gone through major changes in the 1620 years of its existence: 1) The old Armenian or Գրաբար (Grabar, literary "letter+word") was used in 5th-11th centuries as the standard language and 11th-19th century as a dead language. The alphabet had 36 letters. The most famous work written in it (besides the Bible) is Movses Khorenatsi's "History of Armenia", to this day, the most well-known source of our history and legends.

2) The middle Armenian or Kilikia Armenian was used in 11th-19th centuries. In 11th-12th centuries three new letters "ու, օ, ֆ" ("oo, o, f" under the influence of the Latin language and Kilikia-Europe trade) and the double-sound letter "և" were added to the existing 36 letters. և is the combination of the sounds ye+v and it is also a word meaning "and". Its mostly used as a word on its own (rarely ever appears in other words) and there are no words in Armenian that start with this letter. In rare cases when it should be capitalized, the letter և shifts back to its original form "Եւ" (YeV)․ The most famous book written in that language is Grigor Narekatsi's "The Book of Lamentations", which is said to have healing powers and is often put under the pillows of sick people.

3) New Armenian or Աշխարհաբար (Ashgharabar, literary "world+word") has been in use since the 17th century, but got its final form in 19th century thanks to the work of advocate of modernization and educator Khachatur Abovyan. He wrote his novel "Wounds of Armenia" (1841) in the dialect of his native village Kanaker (in Yerevan). It is the first work written in New Armenian and in Eastern Armenian. In this era, Armenian was divided into two branches: Eastern (used in Eastern Armenia ((Armenia, Russia, Georgia and Iran)) and Western (used in Western Armenia (territories under the Ottoman/Turkish rule)). Currently, there are roughly 1.5 million people who still speak Western Armenian and they are all descendants of the Genocide survivors. While the users of Eastern Armenian can generally understand Wester Armenians, however, the grammar and vocabulary are quite different as both of these dialects had been separated from each other for a few centuries.

One more interesting fact: before the introduction of the Arabic numbers, Armenians used the Armenian alphabet (the original 36-letters) as numbers. Each letter had its numeric value starting from Ա as 1, Բ as 2, Գ as 3 and so on. On most (if not all) churches you enter, you will see capitalized letters on the wall, for example ՌՇՂԸ, R-SH-GH-/ə/, meaning the church was built in 1598.

The ring statement by ms Taylor may have been a misunderstanding/misquote/misremembering bc the ring as a costume piece does have real world ties to Con’s very recently deceased mother and may not in fact bc about Izzy’s mom. However! I will choose to keep this hc

[feels a shift in the wind] i need to archive more interviews

[flowering-darkness]

Hmm.

..What if I just made one massive document that holds all of the key information for each of my selfships, so that it all can be accessed from a single link?

("key information" here would include: tags on the blog, a paragraph about the respective F/O and self-insert, then how we meet in-story, key events in the selfship (confession, significant plot points, etc.), then probably a section about fankids if I have any for that selfship)

[wundrousarts]

So I’ve already been working on a sort of “Silverborn Preorder Masterpost” listing a bunch of places and their prices (especially international shipping prices for fellow Americans). The plan for that is to kinda put it all out at once as a rebloggable post on here by end of this month. But I’ve also just realized that a sort of “Upcoming Jess Appearances” list would be helpful too, so I think I’ll be making that a page on nevermoorsource that will be continuously editable.

Besides also getting the Interviews/Q&A page up and running soon, is there anything else people are interesting in knowing or having archived all in one place?

Being possessed by a duel spirit isn't something that happens regularly to just anyone. Much less such a malevolent tortured entity digging it's claws into a soul that reflects light itself. Johan's body was pushed to it's physical and spiritual limits during the time under Yubel's possession. Johan had fought so fiercely for control that he had to be separated from his body and trapped within Rainbow Dragon to finally force his spirit into a dormant state. The entire time that Johan was dormant, he was surrounded by darkness, consumed by it and sheltered by it at the same time. When Johan was finally returned to his body, it was with the abrupt surge of recollection of what Yubel had done in the time frame she'd had control over him. Struggling to remain conscious but wanting to remain strong for those around him, Johan entrusted the crystal beasts to Judai to help him in his duel with Yubel. However shortly afterwards all the damage Yubel sustained while using him caught up with Johan, putting him in a coma. Once back in their actual dimension, he was taken back to the main land to be immediately looked at. Johan drifted in and out of being aware, he didn't wake up until two months later when the Crystal Beasts returned to him, in the time frame that Johan recovered and slowly began to return to the dueling scene, Darkness had begun to invade the world. Johan was actually almost done with his recovery when he was informed about what was going on and rushed to help. Encountering Judai and helping him along the way. Due to Yubel's possession, Johan's abilities became even stronger, now able to bring the crystal beasts to life as long as he has his duel disk and deck nearby. However this only applies to them and is mostly thanks to the incredibly strong bond he shares with them. Post GX Johan is traveling the world to find people like him and Judai, to open a school where he can begin to teach more about Duel Monsters and the spirits themselves. To slowly bridge the gap between those worlds just like he's always wanted to.

krisgoat = tiktak masterpost

CONTENT WARNING: tiktak requests no minors interact with her content. it is not a crime to have a nsfw account unrelated to your sfw community. don't be an asshole, and don't seek out or interact with her content if you are a minor.

THIS IS NOT A CALL TO HARASS KRISGOAT/TIKTAK.

21kkn/zoro, a former mod of goatlings, has recently spoken up about their time spent working for krisgoat. i would heavily recommend reading their own posts on the topic to learn about their experience working as a site artist. in one of these posts, zoro includes the following video, which has dropped a massive bombshell.

part 1: the video

21kkn has stated kris has since deleted her side of the conversation, but honestly, i think it's still damning even without any response that 100% proves it. there was clearly a conversation here. kris clearly had to have replied without denying the account was hers.

21kkn also pulls up krisgoat's account for proof, which does indeed share a joindate and unique @ with kris's actual discord.

part 2: the art

the next piece of evidence that points to krisgoat being tiktakvt is in tiktak's art. you used to be able to find tiktak's art on multiple accounts under the same name, including toyhouse, but she has since privated a lot of her art.

here are some examples that have been backed up:

compared to some goats drawn by kris:

part 3: the timing

tiktakvt also has had a few suspiciously-timed tweets that coincide with events on goatlings.

most notably, this recent one (from september 29th, 2024: before monster masquerade preparations began) that was deleted.

and then this one, which is still available to view as of october 10th, 2024:

citing "overtime at work" in between the giving tree update (april 6th, 2024) and the start of the jestling event (april 12th, 2024).

there is also this tweet announcing a birthday stream hosted on april 1st...

...while krisgoat's birthday, according to her deviantart, appears to be march 31st.

what does this mean?

well, on its own, having a sidegig as a vtuber (and making suggestive/adult content) is not a crime. this post wasn't made to say that krisgoat is a horrible person for having a hobby and spending money from her job on said hobby. kris is an adult who can do what she wants.

what it means for kris to be tiktak, though, is that there are serious questions to ask about just why kris has ignored requests time and time again for transparency on where money for the site is going.

we don't have money for a palestine fundraiser, we need money for the programmer (despite the only recent change, to my knowledge, being the addition of tabs), and we need a fundraiser at the end of the year to compensate the mod team, but tiktak had enough money to buy a full-body rig, which was bought from stardustgummy 3 years ago.

from there, it's easy to find stardustgummy's commission rates.

full-body rigs don't come cheap.

let's return to goatlings staff and 21kkn. while krisgoat seems to have been paying upwards of $800 for her full rig, her staff was initially being paid in virtual currency for their work.

the most commonly accepted conversion rate between diamond dust and US dollars is 100dd = 1usd. which means her art staff was being paid the equivalent of $15-20 per fully rendered fullbody piece for her site.

not to mention, from the mod behind mascot livechats' dev log post:

staff has a lot on their plate, and there is simply not enough staff onboard to cover everything.

(statement from 21kkn's post, linked above)

while staff is trying to juggle many different responsibilities all at once, kris has shown no interest in hiring more staff/volunteers. while i can understand wanting a more close-knit group of trusted people for your site, i strongly feel this preference should be reconsidered when staff is being given this much to do.

and while staff is juggling with site duties, kris has apparently been streaming roblox, doing personal commissions, and recording tiktok dances as tiktakvt.

we don't know for sure that kris is neglecting her goatlings duties/that she's underpaying her staff

that's true, and that leads into the final point: we don't know for sure because there is no transparency at all from kris herself regarding goatlings. if we had been given any hint in the past of where money spent on diamond dust is going, perhaps it would be easier to chalk this up as an innocent hobby on the side.

it is simply because kris has not been fully transparent about how things work behind the scenes, after months of users asking for it on "the state of goatlings" thread and beyond, that makes tiktakvt (and her actions) questionable.

what's the bottom line?

we want transparency. that's it. things haven't meaningfully changed onsite for years, we're backed up on updates that have been promised for who knows how long, the only statement we have about how kris pays her staff points to very suspicious business practices and use of funds, even if kris began paying her staff in real-world currency later on.

and again: don't harass krisgoat or tiktakvt over this. don't try to "out" her or do anything stupid like that. you are not helping, you do not look cool, you look like an asshole.

closing notes

mentioning this information onsite or in the discord may lead to the termination of your goatlings account. be very cautious.

consider donating to a family found on gazafunds.com.

if you have any information/screenshots on kris's poor handling of resources for palestine as it relates to tiktak's streaming gig, please contact me. thank you.

The guide includes:

Full, line by line, translation/transcription of the story and 5 endings

An in depth character list with image descriptions for each character and the in game gallery descriptions (as well as some of my own for the characters that were either very minor or did not have them in the gallery for spoiler reasons) translated and transcribed

An in depth unit list with image descriptions for each unit as well as the in game gallery description translated and transcribed

Full, in depth descriptions of each menu and battle strategies

Every single side quest (over 50!) with full information and strategies on most of them (the only ones that don't have them are the ones that are very easy and self-explanatory)

A 5 page table of contents that will navigate to any quest, any side quest with ease

A complete list of every item, taken straight from the manual

A complete list of locations with the in game descriptions translated and transcribed, as well as a handy table to show which locations are under which government system

A (very long) gem combination table that makes the otherwise complicated system a lot simpler to use

The unit guide transcribed into a handy spreadsheet from the physical in game format, so it's very easy to see what enemies do what and which units you may want on your team

Misc Links:

Manual and Map scans here (not including the unit guide scans as they scanned in pretty badly)

The .cue/.bin files to run it on Retroarch (or any emulator of your choice, just scroll down to get the files labelled Volfoss (Japan), it's an archive.org link)

found a website for if you want to do the thing toei did for build’s episode numbers (i.e. it takes whatever number you put in and gives you a really complicated equation that equals that number). its called math encrypt, by scientific place.

for example, here’s what i got for 5:

the website suggests using it for complicated answers to questions like “how old are you” or “what’s your body count” but tbh i feel like there’s potential for fandom shenanigans here.
