are you willing to share the details on tdt! zhan tiri

behold my incomprehensible diagram!

um. after v9 i lost all sense of restraint, on the grounds that the blacksmith is an aspect of the tree and therefore the tree reasonably might have other aspects, and then there were four, and then there were twelve. lmao. (the artisan is the blacksmith—she’s depicted as a wood carver and lewis called her ‘the lively carpenter,’ so i figured she’d give herself a more nonspecific name.)

because i am also shaking heraclitus between my teeth like a terrier with a rat, Only One ever exists at a time; the tree is always becoming itself and its aspects shift and flow and transform into each other. in various directions and by varied means. ANYWAY,

those quartets (was/is/will-be) are not temporal categories but rather (copying straight from my lore notes here):

Presiding over forethought and remembrance, the Was concerns itself with what may be known: prophesy before, and memory after, for Time is the circle which remembers itself. It would be a mistake to say that the Is presides over, because the Is does not rule; but it might preside at the choosings, the turnings, the changings, and so the Is circumnavigates the Soul. Some things do not change—some things can never be changed—and over what is unchanging and unchangeable, the Will-Be presides: over strife, over hunger, over graspings, over flux.

was is about the flow of time and knowledge, is concerns action and choice, and will-be are manifestations of inevitability—things that Always Are. if you are uh. familiar with bitter snow zhan tiri i’m sure you can guess where she Goes…

The Reaper, called the Sitient Thorn and the Black Vulture and the Flower-Maker and the Goat-With-One-Thousand-Teeth and the Lady-of-Wilds and the King-of-Beasts—for she has been known by many names in many places—appears however she pleases, and it pleases her to change. Her fur and feathers are oil-dark; she crowns herself with the coal-black horns of a ram; her eyes glitter green; she reeks of vegetable rot and brine. Her true name, if she has one, might be the Wrathful Sky. All things want. Her season is Spring.

she is—as in bitter snow lmao—a little unusual in that she’s not a quote-unquote true aspect of the tree but rather something hungry that came from somewhere else, from the dark country which is nowhere. it is ESSENTIAL FOR HER CHARACTER that she’s a strangler fig. always. so she is kind of a quasi-parasitic trespasser into this Situation but also, in the same way that real stranglers protect their living host trees from being uprooted by storms, not an adversarial one necessarily.

what that means in practical terms is the reaper is the exception to a lot of the, for lack of a better word, “rules” that define the tree’s nature. in her aspect as an aspect of the tree, she takes on its nature; when she isn’t manifest within the tree, though, she exists outside and independent of it. so she can, for example, go for walkies in the backyard

by which i mean remnant. lmao

on remnant, the reaper is the god of animals. she didn’t make the fauni but once they came to be she decided she liked them Best and has favored them ever since. many, but not all, fauni receive her blessing, which (like that of the brothers) confers a magical gift, specifically a form of shapeshifting.

NOT like what the branwens can do—more in the vein of ‘cultivating’ the animal-like traits you already have as a faunus, so if (for example) you were born with shark teeth you might learn to rearrange your respiratory anatomy and grow gills, or give yourself sharklike skin. this can be done in a way that is permanent (this is called ‘ripening’) or not (‘borrowing’). most fauni who learn mix and match a bit (and there are different formal ‘paths’ that combine techniques in different proportions and intensities).

the gift itself is called khime and the practice is khimancy; humans often misunderstand khimancy as sort of a fauni tradition combining auralerie and konurgy (dust-magic) into a single art, but that is. um. Wrong.

(it is possible for master khimancers to fully turn themselves into an animal, but it takes a lot of dedication and many years of training to get there. the ones who get there are called turnskins and they’re rare, like on the level of silver-eyes rare.)

anyway the Reason not every fauni in the world receives khime is she only gives it to the ones who ask. asking is Really Simple—just a small ritual to get her attention, though the specifics vary a lot between different sects—and in many fauni cultures it’s seen as a rite of passage marking the end of one’s childhood. but because it’s a religious practice specific to khimerism, obviously not everyone Does It.

conversely, it isn’t Just For Fauni in the sense that a human could petition the reaper for her gift if they so chose, and she might say yes. for all intents and purposes this is Converting To Khimerism and under khimeric law makes you a faunus—although it won’t cause a physical alteration right away, there is a process for revealing your true form.

this is PRETTY RARE but not unheard of. there’s a handful of fauni folk heroes who are said to have been born human and either left in the wilderness as infants and being saved by fauni parents or outcast from human society and turning to the god of animals for solace; mythically speaking, the idea is that, just as the god of animals offered their gift to some humans who refused, perhaps there might be a very few humans whom they missed, or who weren’t born at the right time, and such people will find their own path to where they truly belong.

(IN CASE IT ISN’T OBVIOUS i’ve chosen to veer off the ‘racism allegory’ angle by leaning into the religious aspect of fauni identity; the narrative in ‘the shallow sea’ is essentially “we are our god’s chosen people and through this covenant we were changed” so—in the context of TDT where the god of animals and their shape-changing magic is real—if one chooses to convert and accept that covenant one can become a faunus. the reverse however isn’t true: one can leave the religion and relinquish the gift, but that doesn’t get rid of the fauni traits. nothing is erased, nothing forgotten.)

salem knows about her. (her opinion is chiefly “stop. trying. to eat. my. grimm.” they have tea sometimes it’s complicated.) ozpin thinks the god of animals is a myth, if a curiously persistent one. and the reaper is also like… at least half of remnant’s cryptids because when she’s out for walkies in the backyard most of the time she does it as a horrible mishmash Creature. when fauni characters say the Lady or the King they’re talking about her. she is both the Lady and the King because she doesn’t know what a gender is (and at this point she’s too afraid to ask) and she picks her pronouns on the basis of “i’ll have what my friend is having :)”

the god of light. HATES HER. she crawled in through the jabberwalker (no relation to the walker) (theophoric name) and latched onto the tree before the brothers could Get Rid of her and then made herself part of the tree Somehow!!! (you are what you eat) so now she just exists outside of his power.

(the brothers were both actually far more powerful than the tree when they left the ever after, because the tree is a passive force, it cannot act outside of itself, but the brothers had no power over the tree. so the reaper can’t overrule the god of light on his ultimatum—although she’d like to—but he can’t do anything to stop her from going for walkies. he just seethes impotently.)

#time does this #she identifies as a menace.#and doesn’t have a Significant role in the story herself it’s just a handful of major characters worship her lmao

Can I haz some canon names Mr. Bonefall? :3

I'm looking to know about:

-Poppyfrost

-Cinderheart

-Molewhisker

-Pinestar

-Sweetbriar

-Crookedstar

-Shellheart

-Blackbee

*Cracks knuckles*

POPPYFROST = Liafifhess

Medicinal Poppy (Liafi) + Frost (hess)

Frost is very specifically the thin ice that settles on other things. Whiskers, on the tips of your fur, over rocks and tree bark. Poppyfrost's name invokes a medicinal poppy that is ever-so-slightly frozen.

Frost is often associated with intelligence, going as far back in Clan Culture as their Patron of Ingenuity, Sunlit Frost, and their Patron of Tunneling, Shattered Frost. Though her name doesn't "invoke" an image of intelligence by our standards, a very cold, frosty poppy is one that reminds Clan cats of how curious and savvy she is.

CINDERHEART = Keyababun

Ashes (Keya) + Heartbeat (Babun)

As an apprentice, Cinderheart was emotionally unstable and reckless. Her relationships were in a constant state of flux, and she often ended up having big fights with her friends and family at minor, perceived rejections. Like she was constantly burning her own life down.

She had a long journey with learning how to slow down before burning out, asking herself rational questions and working through her rapid heartbeat before being dragged along with it. At her warrior name ceremony, Firestar honored that effort and how she had matured into a fine warrior over the reasons.

Her name is Ashes-Heartbeating, "Steadily," he adds, "It will not beat fast, nor will it have beat to exhaustion."

As an extra note, "Ash" as a prefix does not refer to fire-ashes, but to the European Ash tree (Excelsior fraxinus). Cinder, "Keya" is for ashes.

MOLEWHISKER = Bosgohussk

European mole (Bosgo) + whisker (Hussk)

This word refers to Talpa europaea specifically! This animal is difficult to hunt, but valuable for its soft fur. It's some of the best-quality leather Clan cats have access to, up there with muntjac and red squirrel.

PINESTAR = Bes'shai

Scots pine (Bes) + Star (Shai)

Name was given an apostrophe simply to distinguish that the name does not have a Clanmew double Ss.

SWEETBRIAR = Rruqaneep

Eglantine (Rruqa) + Climbing vine (Neep)

This is the sort of name that a translator would look at, and just give up before translating as "Sweetbriar". Eglantine, also called Sweetbriar, is a type of 'hedge plant' that's often used in construction purposes. A good 'hedge' grows fast, is hardy, and is covered in thorns. The word "Rruqa" comes from "Hedge + Dogrose."

And a vine that begins to climb, the way that you want a good hedge to work, is Neep. Sweetbriar's name could be translated as, "Sweetbriar Climbing," "Sweetbriar Vine," "Eglantine Rising" or even "Really Good Wall."

So, instead, the translator simply chose "Sweetbriar." Sweetpaw's suffix was also Rruqa-- Eglantine. So the translator translated it the way they had done with the cat they were named for.

Crookedjaw = Gawgloongam

Twisted (Gawgloon) + Jaw (Gam)

In Clanmew, the word they're using for his name is not "crooked" as in "a thing to be correcting," but "twisted" as in "A cat twists in midair to correct course"

This is because his name is an Honor Title. It was bestowed for his return, after many seasons spent training at the Barn. He came back with new techniques and the pelt of an old fox, skinned and processed and bearing his unique bite mark to prove that he had not scavenged a carcass.

To mark this grand achievement, he went immediately from Stormpaw (in BB, he leaves as an apprentice, not a kit) to Crookedjaw... once he had finished his customary apprenticeship, though, it was a formality after bringing home a fox's pelt. Even though it was an old thing.

Shellheart = Ekshbabun

Rough shell of mussels (Eksh) + Heartbeating (Babun)

This specifically refers to the hard, gray shells of freshwater mussels, and is used to describe the thick horns of things like rams. It invokes strength, and comes from the clacking sound when they tap together.

Shellheart is a very reserved, guarded person. Warm to his kits, but still someone who can be quite harsh as a warrior. His name reflects that.

Blackbee = Lubroffaws

Blueblack (Lubro) + Solitary bee (ffaws)

How dare you make me translate bee before I get to bee expansion pack

BUT ANYWAY!! There are MANY words for various kinds of bees, more than you'd imagine, there are many kinds of bees and their presence is very important to understanding the health of an ecosystem!

I feel like Blackbee was a bit of a lone wolf type, the sort of girl who didn't work well with other people. A bit broody, very quiet. So, her name became "solitary bee" as opposed to a "swarming bee." She's very industrious and a helpful member of the Clan, just... needs her personal space.

I've talked about these guys a few times in passing without ever showing them or going in depth about their deal, so here are Solem and Edax, the two ram god siblings of Zyterra.

In the beginning of time before everything, there was Null, a sentient, interdimensional gloom comprised of a writhing mass of cellular organisms constantly in a cycle of death and rebirth, making up the ambiance of existence. As is the case within any network of cells in constant flux, eventually there is an error during duplication, and existence's first-ever "mutation" produces Solem and Edax simultaneously, the two opposite but complementary halves that made up Null. (Light and Dark, or Solem and Edax respectively.)

As the creator of anim, Solem makes more of an effort to meet them at their level, so most depictions of them show them clothed or taking part in hedonistic pleasures like wearing jewelry, eating, partying, etc., with their third eye shut (for the sake of the ref I've chosen to show it open)

Edax, creator of Umbrum, prefers to be more bestial and disconcerting. The suit is a begrudging formality that it extends for certain occasions, but most depictions of it show it as a feral ram or sentient darkness.

can you give sneak peek in to heaven for you fic.....i can't wait.......i am seriously not good at expressing my excitement through text....

“I’m gonna be your greatest love story.” The whispers in the dark lingered in your mind as you kept yourself tucked into the corner of one of the many safe rooms in the stately home Steve claimed was yours.

“I’m going to be your best protector.” Tears, fat and heavy, rolled down your cheeks as the sound of thundering doors and the crazed yelling had pierced the walls, and you were settled in fear.

“I promise, I will always be there for you.” You tightened your arms around your knees and hid your face in your legs, trying to close your ears off to the sound of them trying to tear the place apart to find you.

There was a breach at the estate, some rebels who wanted to tear down the institution that Steve built for the betterment of the common people. They were zealots who wanted to make him suffer by making you suffer.

“I will always protect you.” The sound of a battering ram hitting the door and heightened your fear, another flux of fear ripping through you. They had made sure Steve was gone, through their own sources and resources as little as they had, had gotten Steve out. They made him leave and you were left exposed.

“Steve,” you whimpered, the door broken and the rebels one step closer to you, “please…”

You turned your head and screwed your eyes closed, waiting for the impending moment where the panic room would be breached and you would be taken. You were holding your breath and praying for Steve to come find you, to get to you once he had heard the estate was breached.

“Steve-“ You spoke his name moments before there was another crash, another shattering boom followed by shouting of orders before there was finally quietude.

You had lowered your hands from your ears and pushed yourself back against the wall, your fearful eyes staring ahead as footsteps crunched glass. There were footsteps coming toward the wall of the panic room, the wall obscuring the safety hold was pushed aside.

“Please…” you begged, eyes widened and fearful as the doos swung open.

“Sweetheart, its okay.” Steve’s voice came from the doorway of the panic room, blood splattered on his cheeks and his onyx black tactical suit. His shield was by his side, shining in the light like a beacon.

“Steve…” your tears rolled down your cheeks and your bottom lip trembled as you stared at him.

“Its okay. You can come out.” He extended his hand toward you, his own emotional upheaval noticeable in his blue-green gaze. “You’re safe. Come out.”

You picked yourself up from the floor and started toward him, throwing yourself into his embrace. You wrapped your arms around him and hid your face in his neck, squeezing him tightly. Steve lift you from the ground and kept you pressed against him while he kissed into your hair and muttered praise and adoration to you.

“You’re okay. I’m here, you’re okay.” He kissed you over and over as you cried out your fear and anxieties into his neck. “You’re okay, sweetheart.”

“I thought they were going to kill me.” You whimpered, and Steve started rubbing your back and crooning softly.

“I’ve got you. I would have never let them hurt you.” He promised. “You’re my sweetheart, you’re my wife. I will always protect you.”

I am not sure who colorized this image of the USS Kentucky taken sometime in in 1900. A time when the entire concept of war ships was in flux. Still, she was an interesting ship, you must admit. And it even looks as if she still had a ramming bow and "broadside" of smaller cannon.

Maybe stop calling ADHD a “superpower”?

I’ve come across articles and people in Singapore (where I live) calling ADHD a “superpower”, by both people who have ADHD and people who don’t but who advocate for more awareness of neurodivergence. I’ve found it to comes across as reductionist and somewhat condescending if we just leave it at that, without mentioning the downsides.

Everything should be interpreted in context. In Singapore, ADHD is unknown by the vast majority of people. Mental health and any kind of neurological “disorder” is, for the most part, taboo/shameful to talk about and can be seen quite negatively. This is changing slowly as more people discuss these things openly.

So, yes, reframing ADHD as a “superpower” is more positive when compared to the alternative of viewing people with ADHD as defective, broken objects of pity, shame and stigma. So, I get why advocates seek out language that appears to be empowering (who doesn't want a superpower?!).

But to me, it sounds like sugarcoating and trying to make our different (under-researched) brain-based differences less complex to neurotypical society. It rings like people-pleasing.

To anyone who struggles to manage their ADHD symptoms in their everyday life, it sure as hell doesn’t feel like a superpower.

***

Here are the areas people refer to when evoking ADHDers’ superpowers:

- the links between ADHD + creativity

- ADHD’s links to critical thinking and questioning things

- ADHD’s links to thinking outside the box, because our brain makes connections between disparate things in ways that others may not put together

- our almost mythical ability to “hyper focus” (the subject of gazillions of ADHD memes!)

Thing is, these things come together with a whole host of other symptoms, which are far less cool, and not talked about.

HERE’S AN EXAMPLE

I co-wrote 2 academic books. That was achieved through extended periods of hyper focus, scattered between periods of extreme distractedness.

In hyper focus mode, I’d sit for 10 hours at a stretch, bc I told myself “I must finish this chapter today”. I would not eat, drink, shower, get up, my butt was glued to the chair. Now, I got the chapter done, and you could say “wow, that’s so productive!”. But hyper focus, unchecked as it often is with ADHD, is not fun and is damaging to the body.

What’s also interesting to look at, are the causes for hyper focus. sometimes it’s part of the ADHD brain: when you’re doing something that *starts off* being fun/smth you enjoy, then you don’t find the “off”/”end task” button. Sometimes, it’s coerced, the result of extreme self-discipline which is a learnt/compensatory behavior to cope with external expectations/pressures of (neurotypical) society. Either way, hyper focus is not to be glorified, or used to sing the praises of the “productivity” of ADHDers (according to capitalistic standards), because it can come at such a high cost to us.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE

About creativity. Yup, we do get a million thoughts, images, memories flitting in quick succession in our brain and that makes us come up with weird, original ideas/solutions. ADHD’s sometimes described as “bees in my head” or as a big intersection without redlights/round-about where cars are just rushing forward in every direction. In this high-flux it’s probably to have lots of great ideas, along with lots of not-so-great ideas.

Thing is, ADHD sometimes makes prioritizing harder, so 1) we have trouble deciding which is a good or not-as-good idea. 2) it’s tiring to have brain never switch off. I wish I didn’t have such a hum in my head at all times. 3) we are forgetful (short term memory is impaired with ADHD) and so a lot of ideas are forgotten, or it takes a lot of our RAM to try and remember them/record our ideas on bits of paper/find system to record/remember these ideas. 4) if we don’t act on our ideas, it creates a sensation of backlog, and I for instance can feel overwhelmed, lost and feel like I’m failing, because I have so many projects I want to do, but I never have time to do them all.

These are just examples of how these so-called “superpowers” come with less neat, sometimes quite impairing feelings/behaviors/symptoms. If only we could somehow isolate the “superpowers” but we can’t because that’s not how it works.

Thanks for reading.

Unit Viability Speculation - January 2023

Well this is unexpected. It was Dawn and Lisia. It isn’t Lisia with Jirachi. Somehow we did go straight to Kalos VA so Nate gets nothing. Regirock was in the Gauntlet, but somehow we’re not upgrading Steven, and are confirming that Cynthia just gets two upgrades. Fascinating times we live in, friends.

New Years Lisia New Years Lisia is up first, and honestly she could suck ass and I’d pull. It’s Lisia in a nice outfit for once. I do not care what they do. But apparently, this was set as a challenge, and she got...Galarian Rapidash. I...do not love Galarian Rapidash. In fact, having searched my feelings broadly...I don’t like Rapidash. Ponyta is super cute but Rapidash always looked off. I kinda wish they pulled a NY!Sabrina are just let her have Ponyta. Worse, it’s Fairy Shift. I do not respect Shift abilities. No, I don’t care that Giga Impact finally made it in, this kinda blows. Her Trainer move is interesting, giving +4 Atk/Spd, and 0-3 stacks of physical moves up next at random. Dire Hit+ is supplementary. Her passives provide immunity to Poison for the team, and supereffective up next after sync, so Giga Impact do big number. Her best utility is Defense Crush on Quick Attack if desired, and Critical Eye on trainer move to take only two turns of setup. She gets Inertia, Ramming Speed, and Brawn Sync 3.

Honestly, Lisia’s solid. Low 400s attack, backed up by a tremendous base power move with a whole-ass 30% multiplier that’s easy to set up, and a solid sync that works into an absurd level of damage first move after. She only needs +2 attack/speed from any support looking to assist, which isn’t too hard to shop for. There are several Eggmons capable of that. I will say that she doesn’t play especially well with SS Wally in some regards, and really well in others. Wally’s whole debuffing thing really only targets stats she doesn’t care about, and his demands for first sync to get buddy move could, in theory, make her life more difficult. But the last +2 speed for free to cap off Inertia and Ramming Speed? That’s not bad.

New Years Dawn Dawn...listen. You were one of the first units I got in this game. My wife pulled her, and insisted she was really good, and I took that to heart and got her too. And ever since...she’s been really good. Not fantastic, but fun and funny. Dawn’s style has always been good, but could’ve been better if she dropped the shenanigans. But Dawn will never stop. She is fully committed to the bit.

Dawn cannot raise a single one of her relevant stats. This is not a joke. What is a joke is her first passive doubles the stat gains. Dawn...what? Oh but there’s more. She got Feather Dance, but no Ripple Effect. Instead, she got...double down. So she saves a single turn per target to bottom out attack. Okay, well...obviously there’s another debuff, right? Well no, but there is Teeter Dance. ...alright. Her trainer move gives stat defense shield, which is a very bizarre choice, and acts as a self-Potion. It also raises evasion. This is her only utility. Oh, except for having Revelation Dance, and a new passive that just...boosts Ghost-type damage by an unspecified amount? Alright, sure Dawn. And never one to be outdone, there’s grid. Safety Tether, Stop Hitting Yourself 5, and Recuperation 2. Aight. Offensively she gets Sync Power Flux, Interference Sync 5, and Power Posture, which isn’t too bad. Then it hits you in the face. Grab Bag 9. When she uses a move against an opponent, it will hit one (1) stat at random among the seven, for -1. -2 thanks to double drop. This is supposed to be her 3/5 utility node. She does not get Power Play.

Dawn, I absolutely adore your commitment to being off-beat and a weirdo, but legitimately what is this? Until I know what kind of boost to special damage we’re looking at for her, I have no idea what to make of this. Is it good? Awful? Hard to say in totality. All I know is she’s completely reliant on special attack/crit buffers for her offensive sets, which is never a great look. But then defensively she’s this off-beat tank with 40% recovery each sync and high evasion potential and constant self-healing, and it’s like...Dawn. What? I kinda love it. This is stupid.

Sygna Suit Diantha So this is how we’re doing Rock Zone, eh? Alright. After continuous complaints of “Why did Hilda get Diancie and a princess costume and Diantha gets the knight with Keldeo, it should’ve been reversed” because no one reads the story, they finally gave in to these demands and handed Diantha shiny Diancia. I can’t say I’m sad about it. They get Rock Tom-NOOOOOOOO! No, not like this! Cakewalk?! On a premium, are you serious?! Why are you-

Oh. Oh wow, okay. Holy shit, we’ll get to that.

Rock Wish does its thing, and her Buddy move works like SST Red’s, where it’s active while the field effect is. It lowers the defense of all targets by 2, then raises the team’s defense by 2. Pog. Trainer move reduces sync move countdown, whatever. It raises special defense by as much as her physical defense is raised, so this is not a trainer move to use early. Gradual Healing. And if mega evolved, -1 sync cooldown and +2 physical moves up next. Baller.

Passives are where we really need to talk about Diantha’s utility. Trip Wire 2. This is a -2 debuff to the speed of all opponents on entry, that she keeps upon mega evolving. -4 speed outright. That on its own is obviously good for her own Cakewalk, but more importantly, it’s built-in. Having this at base, alongside Rock Zone, means that Diantha perfectly complements like every Rock-type damage dealer in the game. SS Brock, Grant; you know those losers who suck, in part because of Cakewalk? Worry no longer. Diantha has you covered at 1/5. That’s big. Honing Hit 9 is also cheating, it’s +2 attack +1 crit “when the user’s move is successful.” Now forgive me, this may in fact be for the trainer. But pretty sure it would specify which means this is both. Enjoy guaranteed max offenses by first sync guaranteed. And she blocks defense drops for the team for good measure. Neato.

Trip Twice 9 is only good for fast clears, otherwise -3 speed in one hit isn’t helping. Initial Propulsion on Rock Wish is not good, because it only works the first time, and you don’t want to wait until after first sync to use it just for -3 cooldown on second. Trip Wire 1 is beautiful synergy. Tough Cookie, Cakewalk, and Scholar Sync 5 for a 50% boost for max special defense. There’s a bunch of other odds and ends stuff, but most of her goodies are at base. 4/5 gets Team Sharp Entry, while 5/5 gives extension of Rock Zone at rank 3, and this...is the only time I may say that it’s worth it.

Diantha’s fantastic, but very, VERY reliant on Rock Zone. When her buddy move goes away, frankly, so does she. Rock Tomb is depressing on damage. It will disappoint. You need buddy move, and without SST Red levels of extension, you’re going to find out how limited your options are. To make matters worse, you practically need to lead Rock Zone. The goal is getting her Diamond Storm going right away for the defense buffs, leading into max special defense on her trainer move as well, and setting up max damage on sync. But setting it right at the outset means it may not make it to first sync, and if it does, there’s no much left. So you need another. And I hope I’m painting the picture for you. Gauntlet means she needs at least one MPR to finish the job. Otherwise she loses DPS from Diamond Storm, and her sync’s innate power boost from Rock Zone is gone too. Diantha lives and dies by her Zone. As good as she is, this is a severe limitation.

Shauna Oh hey, Shauna was real. Neato. She’s with Chesnaught, correct. A support Grass, also good. Apparently we get 3* Grass gear, so that’s fun for me. Anyway, cutting right to the chase: attack/crit buffer. Pog. She has nothing but the standard +2/+1. Her other moves are Mini Potion All, Vine Whip as a good 1-bar spam, and Spiky Shield, which is a 2-turn move that will block all damage and retaliate with offensive damage in some amount. It doesn’t specify how much, but it is Grass-type so it can be supereffective. Passives are a +1 to both defenses when she blocks, +3 gauges when she blocks, and...MP Burst. Huh. HUH. Okay Shauna, I see you. That’s energy conservation. That’s SS Kris tactics. You won’t cap the team until after first sync, but are an EX Support where you should be taking first sync most of the time anyway. Alright. Well played.

Grid is pretty good, those look pretty soli-IS THAT BUILD IN ENDURANCE AND VIGILANCE?! Jesus Shauna, calm down! Okay, what else? Shielded on trainer move, kickass. Attack Trap 2 on Vine Whip, so in a way she can help you clear Cresselia because Trap is so effective against phase 1, incredible. The rest is kinda...eh. But that’s not bad. Guaranteed maximization of physical buffs, shield effects with good rewards, and built-in Vigilance/Endurance. I approve.

Lodge Dawn I’m sorry, were people clamoring for Wormadam? Because I feel like this is an odd pick. The focus is X Sp Atk All and a trainer move that buffs special defense/speed. I feel like on a gacha unit, this could’ve been Stat Share and Quiver Dance, but okay. Giga Drain...is there. Struggle Bug is solid. Cutting foe’s special attack after raising your special defense? That’s great. Healthy Healing, Natural Remedy, and MGR4. Those are interesting moves for a support. Shame her defensive stats are bad and there’s no Endure.

Grid is...fine? Team Sharp Entry, Shielded on trainer move for mixed defense and a sort of Roxanne Lite, some attempts at evasion boosting by using sync alongside Sync Regen but she can’t EX and is support so... She does get built-in Vigilance, which is my favorite thing of all. But no Endure is really gonna hold her back with that HP stat and those defenses. That don’t impress me much, girl. But to make matters worse...friends, I think I am losing my mind. On a Roll 4. What...is that supposed to do? Struggle Bug is a guaranteed drop. It isn’t impacted by AoE penalty. Why...does she have On a Roll 4? It’s literally useless. It can’t DO anything! Dawn? Dawn, why are you doing this to me again? Dawn, drop the bit! Drop the bit, Dawn!

Kali (Furisode Girl) How in fuck’s name did they get the wrong one? Blossom was the correct answer. Linnea was also acceptable. But Kali? Why her? No, I’m sorry, I know I’m being a bit of a shit right now but this bugs me.

Support Fairy Azumarill! Thank god, it’s not a Gen 1 Pokemon. She gets Draining Kiss, Bubblebeam, X Def All, and a trainer move that buffs special attack +2, special defense +1, and applies gradual healing only to herself. Blossom wouldn’t have been so egocentric. Or she might’ve, we know literally nothing about them but I am bitter. Quick Tempo, Flameproof, Fire Guard. And oh wow, those stats are Atrocious. This has to be 4* stats, because 549/180/180 defenses is...bad. Like, bad generally, but exceptionally bad for a support. And to be clear, grid does not save her. No Endure, not even built-in Vigilance. They thought Draining Kiss was enough of a concession and even hit her with First Aid 2. They hate Valerie so much they nuked her underling. This is downright savage. I don’t appreciate it. I can’t imagine Kali being good in a post-Roxanne grid meta. This shit makes Rosa look pretty good.

Mental Health Resolved

UPDATED 3/12/2024 9:07 AM with Starred(***) Sections having Additional Detail

Guys? I think I had my flux capacitor moment from Back to the Future.

When Doc Brown was standing on his toilet or something, and fell or hit his head, he came up with the concept of the flux capacitor, through which time travel is possible. The flux capacitor is what enables the channeling of 1.21 Gigawatts of electricity (one bolt of lightning), to create the energy needed to tear a hole in space/time, to visit other points in time.

But my flux capacitor moment is on mental health.

Americans tend to think by creating a drug like Ozempic or Advil, you've done something phenomenal. You're always making these treatments that address symptoms, but never address the root cause of illnesses. If your neck/wrist or something hurts, taking an Advil to suppress the nerve pain, makes no sense. It's a quick way to make money, but it's not a solution. You need to strengthen the muscles around the neck or increase blood flow or just give it a massage to accomplish this.

The problem with drugs like Ozempic/Zepbound? What does it do? Their apparent genius is this ridiculous complicated slowing of peristalsis and digestion. It gives you the feeling of feeling full so that you don't eat. WOW! That's what a $1000 drug will do for you. The best these guys can do is "make you "feel" full" by making you eternally constipated and risking stomach paralysis. ***

Updated 3/12/2024 9:07 AM Though weight loss drugs like Zepbound do have one plus point of stretching out energy release from foods to brain, over longer period of time, for someone like myself, whose brain metabolizes sugar/caffeine too quickly where useless, after 1 hour...

Updated 3/12/2024 9:07 AM *** For weight loss, you need to look at why people with no body fat are slim, or why some people are tall/slender and others short/stocky/fat. You need something that effectively regulates the metabolism.

But, not my focus right now.

Mental health!

So as always, let me give some background info to paint a picture:

At the onset of my SITUATION, it was coinciding with me taking an ADD stimulant drug, called Vyvanse. It is a legal extended release amphetamine, covered by health insurance for those who have it, and prescribed by a treating doctor. Some people taking it, report, feeling enhanced… But, when "I" took it? I felt normal. For one thing, my veins were thicker vs my spindly spiders web veins now, and circulation was respectable. When I took the stimulant, I didn't feel stimulated. I felt I attained what I've been after my whole life. In effect, I was blind and I could see.

Currently, when I look at something, I need to give it a few seconds for my brain to register what I'm seeing and (listening to/vs. "hearing"). Let’s say I want to verify my pants pockets are empty, before doing laundry. That feeling of emptiness doesn’t register, when sedated and maybe without a stimulant for me, either (I can't remember after being shocked 20 times). It’s like a computer without enough RAM. You might've heard of laptops with 16 GB RAM/32 GB RAM. When you give it more memory, it works faster. When I got Vyvanse, instantly, my pockets felt empty. My processing power increased or I became normal for whatever "normal" is for me, as difficult American doctors I've run into, don't get that every individual and what's normal for them, is different.

Now, currently, because of my mind reading/mind control situation, I'm forced to comply through meds, and because there's another stupid group that thinks I'm paranoid in a paranoid setting without testing for it by removing the paranoid setting, I’m treated with the opposite set of drugs; sedating drugs, which worsen my poor processing power condition. Compared to anytime before in my life, I have to leave my hands in my pockets for a few seconds, than a second, to register that the pockets are in fact empty- I guess I’m slow that way.-Or my body’s faster than my brain - I notice I walk a lot faster than usual people dragging themselves.

Other thing noticed, when consuming A LOT OF sugary foods/carbs, it gives my brain the processing power that something, like an amphetamine, as Vyvanse gives me.

It makes sense. Vyvanse uses the energy reserves from your adrenal glands. Sugar is energy for the brain. Carbs are simple and complex, sugars and starch, that add to your body's energy supply.

Recently, I posted pics of a steak, some waffles, and an egg sandwich. I actually cooked two steaks. We Indians, don't consume at typical American portions. How you survive off of a turkey sandwich with mayonnaise, a chicken caesar salad, or a single palm sized steak, is beyond me. The beef curry my mom makes, in its cubed pieces, amounts to twice the amount of a steak. Americans say eat one cup of rice. We probably eat 2-3 cups of rice. Now regarding the food I cooked, my reason for cooking it was because I was bored, and I figured I'd show a likable/relatable side to Twitter. But after making all that food, I ate it. I ate it, because I could, I ate it because I can. Yeah I know, it sound like Dr. Seuss. I eat, or can eat, without consequence, like Goku or Vegeta from Dragon Ball. Prior to antipsychotics like Zyprexa or any of them, I don't gain weight. I don't get Diabetes or Cholesterol. My brain needs all that nutrition to keep up with, what I call: "my willful self." What do I mean by "willful self?" I'll elaborate as I continue below. That food intake was maybe 1.5 weeks ago. Haven't gained a pound. I'm not even sure how I have the room for it. Because of the sedating drugs for mind control, I'm forced take a weight loss drug called Zepbound. I've still managed to consume all that, and I felt right, not like I couldn't move. Probably because my brain is active and I need energy.

Now, I hated my SITUATION and protested it, and complained to the police, and sought help from family, because its terms and conditions, was something that was going to make me sicker. I mentioned I was blind and could suddenly see with Vyvanse. To have sight taken back from you, with opposite drugs that sedate you, you just end up asking what more, what else? The orchestrators of my situation wanted to take away my energy, by sedating me, to get me to believe that nothing was transpiring.

Now I mentioned something called "the willful self." What if the major takeaway of mental illness -the obvious point that took years for the others to realize- is that it’s sourced in a misalignment of the: 1. conscious mind, 2. the brain, 3. and the body.

That's right. The idiot orchestrators like to advertise that your brain is a computer. I'm not sure if I should indicate otherwise. I kind of have a knife to my neck. I like to know what I'm dealing with, before opening my mouth or reacting.

Here's the scary thing. Maybe some of you have read my blog post about you as a chariot driver, and your emotions and commitments as the horses that move the chariot.

-----

This is what I'm referencing. It helps if you read the below link, otherwise continue to section below link.

Our souls(minds) R a chariotDriver, driving Horses that R our emotions/feelings/commitments, inFormOf thought/speech/action. On #SaturdayMorning , as #SaturdayVibes , #SaturdayMotivation , & #SaturdayThought, I extend perspective in Tumblr blog post below:

------

So Again, There's 3 parts:

There is the willful self. For some of you, this is not to be demeaning, but a sad fact: it's limited to the decision making part of your executive functioning, associated with the frontal cortex of your brain. For other's, the willful self is the soul or the seat of the soul.

Then, there is the brain.

And, there is the body.

There's something disturbing I'm noticing about many of you. American culture is so focused on gratification, lack of restraint, and "doing what you feel" PRIMARILY, you violate the Biblical concept of spirit and body. I assure you, ITS NOT HOCUS POCUS, RELIGIOUS GOBBLTY GOOK. It's why you're prone to shooting each other, and carelessly building planes and trains, a quarter or the millennium in, in contrast to the 1950s/1960s. While this phenomena is happening with your lives, you're also succumbing to legally allowed marijuana type drugs and whatever illegal, that's available.

In the Bible, Galations 5:17 says: For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.

In the Bible, it also says in Matthew 10:28: "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell."

These two quotes are what creates the willful self or the conscious mind or the chariot driver. The two quotes are what serves as the basis for the conscious mind. The division between the desire of your body, and the morals you acquire (which hinder you from always attending to your desire; abstaining/fasting) is what constitutes the conscious mind. For a lot of you, in this degradation of culture and times, your chariot driver is limited to the will power/decision making part of the frontal cortex of your brains. You're doing stupid things on the news and not extrapolating..., in all due respect, as some of you will instinctively react, these events, are, in part due to this.

Now, Let’s say your brain cannot focus.

Your willful self, grown/nurtered throughout your life, keeps trying to focus, but cannot, without coffee or some stimulant. That is because your conscious willful self is faster than your brain.

When the body is faster than the brain, a visual OCD occurs. When the mind is faster than the conscious mind, delusions occur. When consciousness is faster than the brain, ADD occurs, because your willful decision making self, which I’m calling the soul, is thinking, or scatter-brained or indecisive... an amphetamine stimulant lets the brain keep up with the speed of your conscious mind and helps break you out of a thought loop or "lost in thought" sensation and into "time to do something about it"….

Now some of you have a poorly trained conscious mind. There's no way I can break that down or make it sound nice. It has to do with that Galatians quote. Read it again.

So what's another way, where ADD can occur. If your sense of self is weak, or you don't have much of a willful self from aforementioned reasons,

Your impulses are faster than your brain can take. In which case, ADHD can occur. These are my Two takes on lack of focus.

So how can this be addressed:

Schizophrenia and ADD are two opposite sides of a spectrum. Through the regulation of metabolism, both can be controlled.

A vegetarian diet accommodates slow digestion. It gives someone with a slow digestion, the benefits of a fast metabolism, where all that digestive energy or processing power, gets redirected to the brain. You'll notice those who are athletic, and coincidentally with a fast metabolism, are smart or, at least, sharp people.

American psychiatric drugs? They further slow digestion, partcularly with American diet favoring pizzas, steaks, hamburgers, hard to digest foods. American psychiatric drugs slow cognition. Not getting stimulation of sunlight also slows the brain. I know this how?

The drug Lexapro has a particular side effect to white light stimuli. It makes you light sensitive to that color light or sunlight. It ends up stimulating you if you look at such light for 10 min or more.

Whatever be the cause, if there are factors that slow digestion or ultimately slow the brain, it results in the brain being unable to keep up with conscious self, which gives ADD. You then need to speed up the mind, but orchestrators of my SITUATION, "doing their thing," nullify my efforts at speeding up brain/increasing my computer's RAM, or speeding up my processing power. For those with a less developed conscious self, coming from a collective projection of the total brain, (No, I'm not saying some of you are retarded), The facet of your brain: your impulsive side, is stronger and more craving, than the load your brain can take. So in effect, your brain, also, is not moving fast enough, to keep up with your impulses.

Now I said you need to regulate metabolism to control ADD and schizophrenia.

If you speed up the metabolism, brain is faster/has more processing power, but if conscious self has no morals, nothing to ground you, your sharp brain can drive you insane, or you end up experiencing the symptoms associated with schizophrenia. Let's assume, I'm hearing an auditory delusion no one else can. What's to say it's different from any other noise, or listening to music while you work? What if you could focus through the noise? What if you could tune out the auditory sounds? That's why a strong sense of self is needed in such a setting. If you slow metabolism-> in the sense of the three alignments of willful self, brain, and body, it slows down the brain, and may help someone with an overly stimulated mind, settle down, or less reactive to a delusion. Think about it form the perspective of a starving schizo. Usually they're depicted as violent. If they don't have the energy from food or drink, will they be as aggressive as with food and water. They just don't have the fuel. Probably why psychiatric drugs directly or indirectly slow metabolism which has a direct causal connection to the sharpness of your brain.

Now OCD stems from a body operating faster than your brain, despite the best efforts of the conscious self to suppress its urges. To address it, you need to find a way to relax the body. But how do you go about that...it doesn't make sense to do it through the route of metabolism. If your metabolism is fast and your mind is sharp, you'll aggressively repeat compulsions. If your metabolism is slow, you'll lose the processing power of your brain to recall whether you checked something properly, and that leads to doubt, and that also leads to compulsion. The solution has to be through blood flow. When you get a massage or do a headstand, blood flow is better. You may feel less anxiety overall, and if relaxation can be taken one more level up, it can be enough to suppress OCD symptoms through a vasodilator, where the nerves in your brain can send the signals they send, at the strength they send, to the places they send, in a non deteriorating way. Like a telephone line or a strong signal between two phones. If your nerves are relaxed and calmly talking to each other, then you're calm and level headed to see what you do, clearly, to remember, what you do, clearly. You check if your door's locked? You see it. You register it. You remember it. Perhaps what stimulants do, in terms of these signals, they send a tidal wave. The tidal wave is strong in the beginning, which is what caused stimulation. But as it continues and ebbs and flows, the effect of the signal becomes weak. Over time, this becomes an unreliable way of two phones communicating. It would be like everyone talking loudly in the beginning in a deafening way, and then everyone trying hard to hear each other. If your nerves signals aren't able to hear each other, it could cause anxiety. Relaxation and blood flow and vasodilators can be a way to submit a steady nerve signal, eliminating obsessions/compulsions, on a physical level. You may also require some mental guidance (or the cr*p psychotherapy I don't respect), or some self confidence or "not care" attitude. When I go to India, a lot of times, to be blunt, the bathrooms aren't like in the U.S. There is no tub, there is no shower. What is there is a bucket, a shower cup, a faucet, where you're squatting on a floor. You feel dirty, but then, what can you do, you shrug it off, accept the quality of bathing you get, move on. Acceptance is what I'm getting at. But that's choice you have to make.

Schizophrenia/ADD are about metabolism regulation.

Bipolar disorder requires a lot of self discipline, impulse control, restraint. This seems to be more about action vs. medicine. But by teens, might need Lithium or something. But here meditation, prayer, fasting can help, but Americans are more likely to try Lithium.

******* UPDATED 3/12/2024 9:07 AM

OCD= blood flow/circulation/relaxing of body. Could benefit from muscle relaxers like "Flexeril" (though the medicine, by nature, isn't recommended long term). Other ways to increase circulation, spend extra energy, is through exercise. But in modern lifestyle, can't depend on people to reliably and consistently exercise, no matter how much you recommend. Next aspect is sleep. I feel less OCDish, when I sleep less, (natural tiredness/normally from serotonin reuptake, which really should come from serotonin addition like more than one cup of rice.) Sleep regulation, for some: 6 hours suffices, others 9 hours, wrong amount upsets the brain balance of neurotransmitters. On sleep, a potent muscle relaxant that can be taken like Flexeril, gives you an after-massage relaxing sensation, that aids with mental health side/as well as sleep.

UPDATED 3/12/2024 9:07 AM

Mental health is a big concern in the modern day, not because of the hippy flowery notions like awareness of mental illness. Mental health is a concern because of modern lifestyle changes. Think about it from this basic sense: If people were shooting each other, at the level of smaller populations, 100s or 1000s of years ago, it would be a sign they were not mentally strong enough to survive to the present day. Physical labor/exercise, would've thickened veins, increased circulation, spent energy, made you stronger to have higher energy reserves which then lessen anxiety, when people had to hunt food/when lives constantly in danger <- all happening in an unquestioned/never thought about balance. =By which I mean your exercising, your eating, you're using your gains to make more gains, over come weaknesses, eliminate threats... OCD wouldn't be an issue if you're already going through h*ll, because you wouldn't care about dying from not washing your hands or whatever.

Before people started eating Nature Valley Bars and smoothies, they were eating salty meats, eggs, forms of carbs. Salt increases blood pressure and increases heart rate, eggs give energy for processing power, carbs like rice give serotonin-sometimes you need that snicker bar or orange juice bottle for a brain sugar boost... & Exercise/physical labor, prevents it all from killing you with diabetes and cholesterol and heart disease type issues. Sunlight stimulates you, heat back in Africa/India gets the blood flowing. Need lots of fluids as people are now consciously realizing. Fluids increase blood volume, may increase vein size, prevents hypotension.

"Life is out of balance" for several reasons. Modern lifestyles, whether you're a newscaster, a programmer, you need innovative ways, like pills, to give the same effects of natural foods and movements to deliver stronger minds.

We need some form of epinephrine to stimulate the heart, because you can't count on people to do cardio regularly every day.

We need a vasodilator like beta blockers to increase blood flow.

We need something that reduces blood pressure like an alpha blocker.

Need something to regulate metabolism. *******

UPDATED 3/12/2024 9:07 AM

A good heart rate (maybe with drug "Carvedilol"), good blood blood pressure, solid blood flow (vasodilator effect maybe with drug "Carvedilol") , a means to metabolize glucose in stabile manner, in a modern lifestyle that goes against all four, gives us the benefits of our ancestors. And heart rate/blood flow, if already high heart rate, there's narrowing of veins, narrow blood flow. If drink coffee or exposed to sunlight (for light sensitive people), further narrowing of veins and restriction of blood flow causes the tiredness associated with my coffee drinking.

UPDATED 3/12/2024 9:07 AM

"Modern lifestyle" /leaving native places for non mixed blood people=mental illness

Misalignment of willful self, brain, body=mental illness

Now I'm a zombie at time of writing this. I'm like something set in motion, and I'm aware of it happening. I'm probably equivalent to a dead version of me where you can electrically stimulate my brain to see memories/understand thoughts.) My chariot driver seat has been compromised, if you recall what I said at beginning of this post. I'm kind of like a chariot driver, in a chariot, who lost control of the reigns, and now the horses are running wild, taking the chariot along with it.

Now this is coming from the zombie-instigated-sedated mind of the fast body of 250 lb me, capable of doing a pull up, at a rate of 220 lb. Big numbers, but by arm strength, I need to add 30 lbs to an assisted pull up to do pull up, which is basically removing 30 lbs, so that I can do a regular pull up, at a rate of 220 lbs.

What I'm getting at it, with so many weird things happening in my life, I can test my theories, but I assure you, there's three parts to you. 1. Whatever composes your willful self 2. Your brain. 3. Your body

So what’s established?

There is a soul. This is the willful self, or a weak form of it if not attended to as in: Galations 5:17. (I really don't mean to sound all religious-y. I find the stories very meaningful and useful. There's a reason you worry about someone who can destroy your soul, and thereby sending you to hell, assuming hell is a state of mind. Without your willful self, the chariot driver, your body, is essentially, in h*ll)

There is Book of Life/Judgement that someone will use to see one’s life from start to finish. If someone can see memories or thoughts, then your whole life can be seen at the Pearly Gates.

Christs’ Golden Rule, from which all follows…everything from news, Britt’s speech, 212f immigration, abortion and brainwaves, It comes down to "interpret the law rather than taking things word for word"

there is something possessing me, implying demons in the Christian past, implying the devil, and if there’s a devil, there is a God.

Desire is not bad, it’s about how you go about it

Sin is an action committed by the willful self. Willfully abusing someone/something/or self.

Attachment/desire - it’s all about focus. A mind that has focus, has purpose, can do anything. A form of mind reading can occur by projecting a bunch of assumptions at someone and see which emotions they react with. This could be so that someone takes my chariot driver seat and steer left, in my mental car, when I want to steer right. Operating off wrong GPS. What I"m saying is in theme of "Just because you have my sword, doesn't mean you can wield it like I do."

___ Some other things:

On another note: With the weird things I see on the news, like all the scary stories about planes, weekly shootings, fist fights in Congress, ... all the way down to mind reading/mind control I can't help but be the nerd who feels he clearly entered an alternate reality. With things seen on news, like with Katie Britt's speech, People are in such a rush to speak mind that they're not listening to content but looking to inflict bias.

On a larger scale, Insinuations, and minor discrepancies in detail, shouldn’t matter, in comparison to overall point/getting gist of a message. People seem to be ready on the attack for random things all around. -MayB itsNot just myFocus thats the problem-maybe somethingsWrong w/the worlds Ability 2 Listen.
