#and jakob is only like. 15-16.

[mtkanna]

while i'm here: Jakob Ingold Teeth. what's the deal with em

so. none of the narzissenkreuz documents have a specific time frame on them. the closest we get to one is the knowledge that basil elton fought elynas during or immediately after the cataclysm 500 years ago, meaning everyone from the institute was born pre-cataclysm. this also gives us an idea of when the siege of poisson took place (also pre-cataclysm.) seymour says he was dormant for approx. 493 years, so there's roughly seven years between the cataclysm and the explosion within elynas that kills mary-ann and damages seymour.

But What About The Rest. there isn't a single date or even a rough estimate of time passing, and most of the documents are from rene, who we know grew increasingly paranoid and manic as he did his research, so any timeframe he gave would be... confusing, probably.

we don't know when things happened, which is a problem. we also don't know how old anyone is, which is a problem. and it's not like we can just guess.

mary-ann, alain, jakob and rene were all younger than eighteen while they were in the narzissenkreuz institute. alain was a child prodigy and considered able enough to work in a laboratory with an assisstant; though this doesn't tell us much, as we know there are workforce shortages because of the cataclysm. rene and mary-ann are given no identifying features for their age.

But Jakob. jakob. there are a few inferences we can make for him.

at the time of the trip to the vourukasha oasis, jakob only had three adult teeth. if we're to take that at face value, that places him anywhere between eight and ten. but can we really trust that? at this point, he's already been transformed, so we can assume his physiology isn't like a regular human's. rene and jakob have the same bodily composition, and rene has all of his adult teeth. most people have lost their baby teeth by the time they're twelve, but they can last until later.

which begs the question: Do Abyssal Beings Have Teeth?

some do. kind of. one of the rewards for childe's weekly fight is a tooth; this is actually from celestial voyager, but it's abyssal and fully-developed, so even though it's a sea creature we can assume Tooth Development is possible. which means loss and pushing in of new teeth. or they could just regrow their teeth, because if i'm reading into this right jakob's body has a composition kind of similar to elynas', which is similar to durin's, and we can pick up durin's teeth every other day.

so. we can estimate rene and jakob's age, now! rene is anywhere from twelve to fourteen at most, and jakob is likely eight to ten. which is where i throw a spanner in the works--Fucked Up Teeth Genes. while it makes sense for tooth presence to be used to rationalise maturity--nobody in the institute at this point is an adult save for lyris, and rene's very wary of the other adults around him--and be seen as a measure of experience, it is also entirely possible that jakob ingold formerly baker has a family history of just Not Having Enough Teeth, and i for one think that's the funniest option for why we're doing Teeth Measurements for aging.

this doesn't change that we don't have ages for mary-ann or alain. i'd say that alain and rene are around the same age, mary-ann's a year younger than them, and jakob's the youngest of their group. but we just don't know enough to say anything for certain

[pryings]

a quiet hum buzzes through the dining hall as those assembled are shuffled in. this 'psychological experiment' or 'speed dating game' or 'social gathering' or whatever it is has been prepared. in place of the long dining tables, the hall is filled with numerous small, round tables, each with a number placed upon them. you are to find your assigned tables, chat with your partner, and hopefully make some kind of connection.

the goal of this exercise is somewhat vague, but knoll and hubert seem poised to take notes. so that's interesting.

schedule:

12pm. EST Feb 14 - 11:59pm Feb 15 ROUND ONE. 12pm. EST Feb 16 - 11:59pm Feb 17 ROUND TWO. 12pm. EST Feb 18 - 11:59pm Feb 19 ROUND THREE. 12pm. EST Feb 20 LAST WORDS.

please tag all interactions #toaLoveHypothesis2024. you will receive an ask from hubert or knoll within the next few hours asking if you like or dislike your partner. unanswered asks default to a 'no.' please answer it at any point before the round ends.

rounds will be 36 hours long, but should narratively simulate the speed dating experience of only having a few minutes to talk. it should feel rushed. interactions can be asks or short threads, please communicate with your partner to determine what works best. you can continue an incomplete interaction after a round concludes if you wish, but please note that you need to vote by the round's end!

the questions provided are only suggestions. if your muse would not want to discuss this topic, feel free to talk about whatever you wish.

caspar (@berglietz) & yarne (@taguelbunnyboy) topic: assuming you do not die within the coming months, what are your plans for the future?

linhardt (@pridelessdaydreamer) & sakura (@gentlenekomata) topic: what hobbies do you partake in?

lucius ( @semperiuvare) & sara (@shadoll)  topic: if tasked with healing an injured stranger, how would you respond?

[feifheadcanons]

Five years later [oof] and here’s the retainer bowling headcanons as promised!

Neutral:

Jakob - Oh he’s good. Maybe not pro good, but still really good. He’s currently playing in the alley’s Friday night league. Uses a customised 12 lb ball

Felicia - This poor woman is a regular in the alley’s pro shop. Something is always wrong with her ball. Despite this, she’s actually rather good and her best game was only two strikes away from a 300. Per Gunther’s suggestion, she’s considering replacing her customised 8 lb ball with an 11 as she may have “outgrown” the lighter weight and has her eye on one with a nice bull design on it

Flora - She’s not much of a bowler and that lack of skill shows every time she hits the lanes. She’s not necessarily bothered by this, though she is surprised that her clumsy twin is better at bowling than she is. Uses an 8 lb house ball, though Felicia has said she’s welcome to have hers if she ever does get that new 11 lb ball

Gunther - He’s the pro shop’s house pro and the reason Corrin even knows how to play. He may be retired and doesn’t play much these days, but when he does, there is no rust in sight. Uses a customised 16 lb ball and a wrist brace

Kaze - He’s just as good as the pros, but finds more enjoyment in semi-pro play. A teammate of Jakob’s in the Friday night league. He usually bowls with a customised 15 lb ball, but the finger holes need redrilling, so he’s using a house ball of equal weight for the time being

Hoshido:

Saizou - Another pro who can give Hinoka a run for her money and has won a couple of championships. Bowls left handed. Uses a customised 15 lb ball and a wrist brace

Kagerou - Surprisingly, she sucks at bowling. Every other frame is a gutter ball and it’s starting to frustrate her. Laslow and Gunther have offered to coach her, but she insists on learning on her own. Uses a 14 lb house ball, but Ryouma is trying to get her to use a lighter ball

Azama - He literally does not care for bowling. Yeah, he’ll bowl anyway when Hinoka insists, but he’s not particularly invested in the sport. He’s actually pretty good when he does put some effort into his playing. Uses a 12 lb house ball

Setsuna - Good Gods above, this woman cannot bowl to save her life. As much as she’s worse than Kagerou, people still intently watch Setsuna bowl, just in case she finally bowls her first strike. Uses an 8 lb house ball

Hinata - He’d rather play cheerleader for Takumi, but he’s not bad himself. His scores are always decent, consisting of mostly spares with some open frames and the odd strike, but Oboro feels he’d play better if he’d wipe the pizza grease off his hands before grabbing the ball off the ball return. Uses a 13 lb house ball, but rumour has it Odin’s planning on getting him a customised ball for his birthday

Oboro - She does like playing, but she’s not that good at it. She’s mainly just here to have fun, but she does at least try to do her best. Uses a customised 8 lb ball that once belonged to her mom and a wrist brace

Tsubaki - Okay, so you’d think this guy had never bowled anything less than a strike in his entire life, right? WRONG! Yes, he’s a phenomenal bowler, but he’s actually not perfect, something he struggled a bit to accept. Also in the Friday night league, though on a different team than Jakob and Kaze. Uses a customised 15 lb ball and initially didn’t use a wrist brace, but had to start using one when he sprained his wrist on a bad throw

Hana - She’s a fairly average bowler, but she’s very competitive. She and Selena are constantly trying to one up each other on the lanes, but this always leads to less strikes for the both of them. Uses a 10 lb house ball

Nohr:

Laslow - He says he bowls to catch the attention of the ladies, but the truth is that his dad was a champion pro bowler who met his mom, who worked in the lounge as the bartender, while at a tournament. His real reason for bowling is to keep their memory alive – meeting someone there like how his parents met would be a bonus. Another lefty. Uses a customised 14 lb ball that has his parents’ names engraved above the finger holes

Peri - She lives for the “glow bowl”, a term she uses for cosmic bowling. She’s campaigning to start up a cosmic bowling league, hoping to attract other league players who would rather play under the blacklights and disco balls like she does. As for her skill, she’s pretty good, though she would like to improve a bit. Uses a customised glow-in-the-dark 13 lb ball

Beruka - She’s new to the pro scene, but she’s a pro nonetheless. Another member of the 300 Club. Her customised ball is heavier than it ought to be at 15 lb, but it was a gift from her mentor and she’s used that ball so much that she can’t bowl with anything lighter. She had to have a new thumb hole drilled in to accommodate her smaller grip as the span was too wide for her to use

Selena - She wants to be a pro so badly just like her mom, but she’s not quite there yet. She has begrudgingly accepted pointers from Tsubaki, which has improved her playing significantly. She’s sticking to 10 lb house balls until she does finally become a pro

Niles - Split Queen Elise, meet Split King Niles. He may not bowl as many splits as she does, but he still picks them up without fail. One of Tsubaki’s teammates in the Friday night league. Uses a customised 16 lb ball and a wrist brace

Odin - He’s definitely a more for-fun bowler, since he’s not quite comfortable with joining a league yet, but maybe one day when he doesn’t bowl so many open frames. His stance and approach are definitely something to behold though. Alternates between using a customised 13 lb ball and a 14 lb house ball – he’s testing the latter’s weight to see if he needs to go up

Arthur - Arguably the worst bowler out of everyone present. Nearly every frame is left open, but sometimes he’ll pick up a spare. Despite this, he still has fun, and isn’t that the most important thing? Uses a 16 lb house ball

Effie - She didn’t start off so hot, but after three years in the Friday night league, she’s joined the 300 Club and her best series was a few points off from joining the more elusive 800 Club. Uses a customised 12 lb ball and a wrist brace, though she’ll grab a 13 lb house ball for some of the trickier splits

I LOVE these, thank you for submitting!

[monarchteen]

how i would structure the s&b show (i completely understand why it cannot be book accurate, this is not hate, i just wanted the "i am become a blade" tattoo) (i mean, there's a reason i'm not a producer, just a fan)

enter at your own risk:

Season 1

- the shadow and bone plotline remains the same (except the crows aren't involved at all)

- the plot slowly builds

- the crows on the other hand: yeah, they change a little lot

- kaz is the main crow- the other plot

- kaz and jordie rietveld have just arrived in ketterdam, as alina has arrived in the little palace

- kaz is about to turn fifteen while jordie is around seventeen (i'm moving jordie's death up a little bit so there's some actual drama- if the show can do it, so can i)

- as the audience trusts the darkling (general kirigan, as we know him), they also begin to trust jakob hertzoon (pekka rollins)

- in the meantime, there are five other subplots we get brief flashes of (maybe 2 minutes per episode each, ten minutes MAX of them total in an episode w/ 10 minutes for kaz alone MAX and the rest of time for the plot of s&b)

1. nina zenik, a 15 y/o heartrender, admires zoya and begs for zoya to be her mentor (we could see this happening in the presence of alina so it doesn't take away any alina screentime from the plot)

2. inej ghafa, a 14 y/o suli girl travelling with her family and being surrounded by love and being an acrobat and dreaming of the oceans (instead of the land), when suddenly everything goes awry as she's taken from her home and put on a slaver ship.

3. jesper fahey, a secret 15 y/o grisha, headed to ketterdam for school. we see the slow gambling addiction begin as well as his trauma with being a grisha.

4. matthias helvar, a 16 y/o boy who grew up with one purpose only: to become a druskelle, and he's finally doing it. the brainwashing begins but his belief in his god is very real. (his plot of how his faith plays a massive role in his life coincides with inej's and they're mirrors of each other- they could likely cut individual screentime by cutting between the two rapidly in scenes where their faith is very important)

5. wylan van eck, the 14 y/o boy who can't read, as he struggles with being van eck's son as van eck finally gives up on him and gets married to a girl younger than wylan and getting almost killed by his father.

- of course kaz's plot will climax when jordie dies and kaz joins the dregs, finds a university dropout addicted to gambling and shooting (jesper's entire season focuses on how he feels like shit being a durast and the gambling is helping him feel better), a homeless chemist (wylan shows up in the second half of the season, and learns how to get a job, being humbled at every turn which is his arc) and a girl with silent feet (who hates the ocean now and is struggling with her faith immensely- i feel like inej is very self-explantory)

- nina, finally accepted by zoya, genya and alina, (in one of the last episodes) gets kidnapped by slavers (among whom is matthias, who's been working towards earning a spot on the journey towards ravka the entire season)

- zoya and genya immediately try to look for nina but the threat of the darkling forces them into hiding (they have to assume she's dead and hold a small burial for her w/o a body)

Season 2

- it follows the plot of both the siege and storm + ruin and rising books (to pick up the pace), which means obv the "I am become a blade." tattoo (after this, i want mal humbled and to whine a little less while the love of his life feels like she's going insane)

- the crows and the s&b crew divide the screentime equally, with a bit more time on matthias+nina (this is going to be very, if not exactly, similar to how they're portrayed in the show)

- the first half of the season follows siege and storm's plot

- it's spent at sea to add some spice to the plot (something's feeling slow? there's a storm. again a slow bit? darkling has sent creatures to sink the ship. slow again? add tension (the killing kind, not the sexual one OR make it both) between two characters but they can't leave the setting) (+ they need a break from the boring, complicated settings they're using)

- alina's power grows and the darkling taunts her with their connection (THIS is when she finds out the darkling's true name because while the world knows he's evil, no one knows that he's aleksander morozova)

- the first half of the season ends with them getting the sea whip amplifier + attempt 2 at destroying the fold + the darkling attacking the grisha + alina gets her white hair!

- for the crows: matthias+nina are bonding very slowly but nina's very dedicated to her country, as is matthias

- slowburn! slowburn! slowburn!

- midway through the season is when matthias gets arrested because the crows? being happy? not for long, man

- inej is being trained as a wraith, jesper is getting deeper into his gambling (which kaz is encouraging) and wylan is just kaz's dirty little secret (i am comparing wylan to a mistress, yes- and inej obv finds out which proves that she's going to be a good wraith)

- to prove their worth in the dregs, kaz decides to get some money for per haskell and expands the dregs to being a main gang (his reputation ends up preceeding per haskell's) with inej and jesper (+wylan in the shadows)

- part 2 of the season is a lot, man - it follows the plot of ruin and rising

- alina does the whole underground cult bit for half an episode before busting out of there (david and genya crumbs should be had, tho)

- baghra reveals more about the darkling (there should be an entire episode dedicated to the darkling's past, because the audience needs to empathize with him) and alina learns the cut from baghra

- the darkling attacks the hidden oasis and nikolai gets cursed and baghra dies

- malina discover that mal is the third amplifier and the darkling threatens to kill the children at alina's former orphanage (gives them a time and date and location and everything)

- everyone goes into the fold and it's the final showdown (alina kills mal because she's a girlboss and very selfless)

- everyone gains her powers and destroy the fold with the power of the third amplifier

- with all of her powers being exhausted, all that remains of alina's powers is the darkling's powers which she uses to kill the darkling

- alina dies.

- nikolai is back to normal and becomes king (they tell everyone that sankta alina died while killing the darkling)

- in the last few minutes of the season, you see a woman with white hair (her face is never seen) at an orphanage with her husband (you see a 1/4 of his face), telling a bunch of kids to listen to her

- the last frame of the show is the woman with her hand in the sunlight, flexing her fingers a little

- now it's time for the crows where i can do whatever i would like

- matthias has been arrested and nina's in ketterdam

- kaz needs a heartrender and he knows everything about everyone

- inej gets nina to join them

- nina joins the dregs in exchange for kaz getting her a visit with matthias

- she gets in but matthias is knocked out from a fight in the infirmary from a fight

- we see matthias struggle with his faith in the prison as he has to fight dogs

- kaz's current plan is to get inej's indenture away from tante heleen (like the original show, it's only temporary at the moment) - this takes up two episodes

- wylan meets jesper and pines a little

- the five crows make a plan to expand the dregs by taking down pekka rollins (only a little bit tho because kaz is waiting)

- they do, in the very last episode (as alina takes down the fold at the same time)

- this is when inej's first kill happens (since sankta alina dies at the very same time, she struggles with it a lot)

- it isn't their time yet so they're mostly just building up and being a found family whilst people try to kill them <3 so nice and happy

- at the end of the season, matthias has just started winning all his fights and being rewarded (this is seen as happy but it just shows that prisons are horrible)

- nina's working toward getting matthias out but both her and inej, who's dealing with being an official killer, deal with the death of sankta alina (that affects both of them pretty badly and they bond over it)

- kaz is finally starting his plan to enact revenge so he's pretty happy

- wylan's finally making enough money to be able to eat more than once a week and live in a (shitty) apartment

- jesper has revealed himself to be a durast to those closest to him and he's training to be a better one (due to a near death experience they all have)

- none of the crows are in a good place but this is probably the best they're going to be for a while

Season 3

- it's time for the crows to shine

- this season takes place about two years after season 2

- it's the ice court heist, baby

- the entire season revolves around the crows and follows the books

Season 4

- crooked kingdom plot (matthias does die)

- as inej gets on the wraith at the end of the book, the story cuts to nikolai (with a year time jump) who's hearing the stories about a ship called the wraith who's killing slavers- nikolai thinks the captain is clearly taking after him (he did buy the ship after all)

- zoya just rolls her eyes and tells nikolai that it's getting late and they have a early day tomorrow

- the last shot of the season is nikolai cracking jokes as he's chained and shackled to his bed with people taking watch over him

Season 5

- king of scars plot

Season 6

- rule of wolves plot

- the ending of the show is all of the characters (the five remaining crows, alina and mal, nikolai, zoya obv, genya, tamar, tolya, nadia) at zoya's coronation at the little palace

- they're all dancing and laughing, roll credits.

- however, there's a post credit scene of the darkling stopping the fold with music crescendoing as the camera zooms in on his face, the screen goes black and we hear a gasp. the end.

A retired CS:GO pro put ZywOo to shame in 3 IEM Rio stats

ZywOo, who assisted Vitality in winning the $250,000 tournament on April 23, was rightfully awarded IEM Rio's MVP. The veteran CS:GO player turned Heroic head coach Richard "Xizt" Landström defeated the French AWPer despite the latter's dominance throughout the competition in KAST, support rounds, and deaths per round. KAST, which stands for Kills, Assists, Survived, and Traded, is a metric that calculates how much a player has contributed per round based on the number of rounds that player had. Xizt had the highest KAST of IEM Rio—78.4 percent—leaving Magisk (77.9 percent), dupreeh (76.4 percent), and ZywOo (76.4 percent) behind, according to HLTV. The retired pro also had the most support rounds—43.1 percent—and nobody was even close to beating him in that regard. He averaged 0.47 deaths per round, according to HLTV. ZywOo had the second-lowest death per round as well after he averaged 0.54 throughout the tournament. Xizt had to step in for Heroic and play a professional match for the first time in over two years in the series versus The Mongolz on April 18 because the team’s star rifler Jakob “Jabbi” Nygaard was feeling unwell. The Swede joined the server on the 10th round of Overpass, the second map of the series, and played on the decider Mirage as well, amassing a 28-24 K/D and helping Heroic eliminate The Mongolz. Jabbi recovered that same day and went back to the starting lineup for the rest of the tournament, which is why Xizt’s numbers stood out at IEM Rio. The coach had a good showing in the only series he played, while players like ZywOo and cadiaN played 15 and 16 maps, respectively. IEM Rio was the last tier-one tournament ahead of the BLAST Paris Major in May, which will be the last-Valve sponsored tournament in CS:GO. The developer is set to release Counter-Strike 2 worldwide this summer and will host its first Major in 2024 Read the full article

[ragazza-paradiso]

so, semi final 2, i am very nervous and think my heart will break a little more than tuesday night

here’s my ranking, anyhow

18. 🇮🇱 “I.M” by Michael Ben David: i dislike this song immensely, and what i’ve seen and heard from the act himself in the past few days makes me dislike him personally too!

17. 🇦🇺 “Not the Same” by Sheldon Riley: it’s a nice message but it comes across a bit pretentious to me and annoying i’m not gonna lie

16. 🇲🇹 “I Am Who I Am” by Emma Muscat: this actually pains me so much bc i love emma but this song is just not good, she should’ve stuck with “Out Of Sight” at least that was a decent pop song

15. 🇫🇮 “Jezebel” by The Rasmus: i like the melody but the lyrics are just so bad i cannot get into this song. his vocals also don’t sound very good. sorry :/

14. 🇧🇪 “Miss You” by Jérémie Makiese: the studio cut is nice (although nothing spectacular) and i thought they would stage it very well, but looks like that’s not the case. apparently he missed the big note quite badly in the jury show. don’t have big hopes for this one

13. 🇬🇪 “Lock Me In” by Circus Mircus: i do like the studio cut but it gets a little repetitive and they didn’t give it the life on stage i was hoping for :(

12. 🇲🇰 “Circles” by Andrea: it’s a nice song and she sings it well, it’s just a little forgettable for me. they really gave her nothing to work with staging-wise, either

11. 🇵🇱 “River” by Ochman: i liked this song at first, but again it’s very repetitive and i’ve grown off it over time. his voice is crazy good though. not a fan of the windows movie maker effects though lol

10. 🇪🇪 “Hope” by Stefan: i looooove the studio track of this song, and i wish we could’ve seen what they would’ve done with this had the stage been working correctly, but alas, we’re left with a giant black hole and it’s just not perfect for me like i wanted it to be. still, sing your heart out boy <3

9. 🇦🇿 “Fade to Black” by Nadir Rustamli: the song isn’t great by itself, but they’ve really elevated it with the staging. he has maybe the best male voice this year in my opinion, he sounds just like the studio cut.

8. 🇷🇴 “Llámame” by wrs: the revamped version of this is great, and they bring so much life on stage. i’m really worried about how the juries will react to this but i hope he gets enough love to qualify

7. 🇮🇪 “That’s Rich” by Brooke: this is so good 😭 i’m so proud of ireland for once and i really need to see her serving in the final too. girlie deserves it

6. 🇲🇪 “Breathe” by Vladana: another big grower for me this year, the lyrics might not flow that well, but you can get the overall message, and the beautiful instrumental only enhances that for me, plus she looks gorgeous on stage.

5. 🇨🇾 “Ela” by Andromache: i love this song, it’s so enchanting and magical, and i like the staging concept they’ve used. she’s a fantastic singer, and i like that cyprus is incorporating ethnic elements and the greek language into their songs again. i think they’ll keep their qualification streak (apart from ukraine & sweden i think that’ll make them the country with the longest one? assuming israel NQs. pretty cool for such a small country!)

4. 🇸🇲 “Stripper” by Achille Lauro: speaking of qualification streaks! the smallest country in the contest shall hopefully have a 3 year one! this is just, so good. achille is a born performer and he has put on a show for europe.

3. 🇨🇿 “Lights Off” by We Are Domi: i love this as a show closer! so much energy, i love dominika and the light show for this looks so cool!

2. 🇸🇪 “Hold Me Closer” by Cornelia Jakobs: i know she’s had technical problems (here’s hoping she won’t tonight) but this is just the whole package, amazing song, amazing staging, amazing voice. i really hope everything falls into place tonight

1. 🇷🇸 “In Corpore Sano” by Konstrakta: who else would be my number one, lol? i’ve already repeated myself ad infinitum about this song, this is my fave of the whole contest. she is simply a queen.

Once there was a young noblewoman enslaved by her stepfamily...

Episode Bonus: Little Saddleslut, the Greek Cinderella

While we only touched on a few in this episode, there are countless European variants on the Cinderella tale, most of them recorded after the Brothers Grimm, and not all of them have a protagonist whose nickname revolves around ashes or cinders. One recorded by Edmund Martin Geldart in his 1884 Folk-Lore of Modern Greece goes like this: Three sisters spinning flax decide to kill and eat their mother since she keeps dropping her spindle. The elder two butcher and cook her, but the youngest regrets the decision and refuses to partake, sitting on a saddle in the corner and weeping, which earns her the nickname “Little Saddleslut”. She buries the bones under the hearth only to find them transformed into a cache of gold coins and spectacular heavenly clothing.

On Sunday after her sisters go to church she washes up and dresses in the clothing and goes herself, but throws a handful of gold coins to distract everyone when she leaves. Her clothing is too bright for her sisters to recognize her. On her third try at doing this, she also loses a gold shoe, and the king’s son finds it and declares he will marry the woman it fits. Saddleslut profusely refuses to try on the shoe or marry the prince, but reluctantly does both.

When she gives birth to a baby, her sisters sneak her away in a chest and toss it in a river. An old woman finds her and frees her, and Saddleslut prays to God for shelter in the dark wilderness. God gives her a magic cottage where all the furniture talks to her and obeys her orders. Hunting in the woods, the prince comes across the cottage and awkwardly reunites with her. At her direction, the cottage uproots and takes them back to the city, where the prince chops her sisters into pieces.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2016, also known as PES 2016 (known as Winning Eleven 2016 in Japan), is published by Konami and is developed by PES production. The game is a type of Football Simulation and is available for PlayStation 3 and 4, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox One and 360. It is the 15th edition in the PES series, and the cover features Neymar Jr. (currently in Paris Saint Germain F.C.). The release of the game also celebrates the 20th anniversary of the series. The game was released in the US on September 15, 2015, and in Japan on October 1, 2015. The game is made on the Fox gaming engine. The game was also nominated for Best Sports Game.

The PES 2016 has many leagues and tournaments, like the La Liga, Ligue 1, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, an unlicensed Premier League, Ligue 2, and many others. The game also consists of some officially licensed teams, like Manchester United, and three other teams from the Bundesliga (Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Monchengladbach). The demo version of the game played on August 13, 2015, had teams played as AS Roma, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Brazil National Football Team, Palmeiras, and France National Football Team.

Features

The game has a myClub mode with which you can make a ‘dream team’ like in the FIFA series Ultimate Team mode. The myClub is also available as a free-to-play and stand-alone game. It was released on December 8, 2015, for the PlayStation 3 and 4; it was also released for Steam on February 3, 2016.

PES 2016 has several stadiums from around the world, including some of the very famous ones, are St. Jakob-Park, San Siro, Arena Corinthians, Estadio Mineirao, Estadio do Morumbi, Saitama Stadium, Estadio Beira-Rio, and Saitama Stadium. Some stadiums were also released later, like Estadio do Maracana (only available Xbox One and PlayStation 4) and Stade de France as downloadable content.

PES 2016 comes with an in-built commentary. The English commentary is n the voice of Jim Begin and Peter Drury, Drury replaced Jon Champion as the leading commentator. The Japanese edition of the game features Tsuyoshi Kitazawa and Jon Kabira as commentators.

Improved AI performance, so that you can pass the ball to your allies without the fear of going over from the winning to the losing side in a single moment. The AI is made in such a way that the game’s unpredictability remains.

As the 22 players are Ais, it is interesting to see that they all think independently as a player, not like the branches of a single machine. Thus, inviting them to work with them as a team and not considering them as a group of lone-wolfs.

The game isn't only based on playing to achieve the goals but, but you also have to focus on every aspect of the game like reflexes, accuracy and cool-headedness while playing. In PES 2016, winning doesn't come single-handedly by playing solo; it comes by playing as a team keeping all aspects of the game in mind. And when it comes, it feels like its earned.

How to download on PC (Windows)

1. Click on the Download button given on the top-right corner of the screen.

2. After the Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 setup is downloaded; double-click on it to start the installation process.

UK F-Teamers Ready for British Trials

From April 14-18, one year later than planned, the British Trials will finally take place for Team GB at the London Aquatic Centre. 

Dubbed the 'British Swimming Selection Trials' only the very top British swimmers have had the opportunity to enter. With the sole focus of selecting a team for Tokyo, the meet will have a different feel to previous years. Very few heats, very fast swimming, and very few specific times to target for the swimmers in the pool. This year the selection policy is based on consideration times. Swim under that time and you will be considered for a space, not guaranteed as in previous years. There is then the potential for those swimmers who are very close or in tough competitions to battle again at the European Championships. So, with all the uncertainty, swimmers will be aiming to swim as fast as possible to bag a spot on the team! The first swimmers with a seat on the plane should be announced on April 21st.

Jacob Whittle, now currently training at the Loughborough National Centre with coach Mel Marshall is thankful that the big event was pushed out by 12-months. 'It's given me more time to prepare and really fine tune my skills that needed to be improved. I will be going into trials in a better position. My aim is to enjoy the meet and swim my best. I'm feeling great and I'm really looking forward to some great races.'

F-Teamer Jakob Goodman will also be racing the 200m Freestyle as well as the 400m Freestyle, 100m and 200m Butterfly. After missing some big competitions and with a current 200m Freestyle PB of 1:49.42, Jakob is looking to race hard and fast. 'The event I'm most looking forward to is the 200m Freestyle as it's such a competitive event and everyone is going to be swimming really fast. The aim for these trials is to try my best to make the 4x200 Freestyle relay team and to also improve on all my races.' 

Scott Gibson is feeling good for Trials and looking forward to it however he has to endure a 10-hour bus journey to London since they aren't allowed to take public transport to the meet. He's racing in the 100m and 200m Backstroke and is looking for a big PB in the 100 which is his best event. His biggest competition is Luke Greenbank, who has already been preselected for Tokyo and is the British record holder so he is the standard to beat. He is looking forward to experiencing what it is like at a major meet again and is also using this competition as a trial run for the Commonwealth Games trials in a year's time to make sure his preparation is on point by the time it comes around. Scott is grateful that he's had normal training in the pool and gym since the middle of July last year so he has been able to put in a solid block of uninterrupted training since then.

There is scope for GB to take up to 8 Freestyle relay swimmers so fingers crossed for our boys!

My F/O’s but I rate how easily flustered they are (from least to most)

23 Kaeya- fucker definitely wouldn't let his guard down even for a second and even IF he still would turn the tables on his S/O. 0/10 why are you even trying.

22 Lisa- She'd be surprised that her S/O suddenly act a bit more "brave" but it wouldn't be enough to make her flustered, maybe blush a bit but in the end no strong reactions. 0/10 good luck next time.

21 Yasuo- He'd be a little caught off guard but in the end he'd just laugh it off and accept whatever. Expecially since thanks to the spirit blossom event we know that ✨ Yasuo is oblivious as fuck ✨. 1/10 one day he'll notice.

20 Tsuyu- come on! This girl most extreme reaction is slight blush and muttering "Cute" while she is somewhat flustered she isn't flustered easily. 2/10 she's still dying out of something.

19 Ryoma- He's still p shocked someone likes him but he still isn't flustered easily. He's more of a "Not used to someone loving me since I don't believe it". 2/10 he's slowly changing his mind.

18 Leon- It's his job to get his S/O swoon. So although he'd appreciate a compliment or someone taking the front wheel he wouldn't be much flustered. 3/10 good try but don't stop.

17 Yusuke- He is also oblivious but also his imaginations goes wild so it was hard to determine where to put him. Of course in the end it would depend on what his S/O does (aaand if he catches on). Remember that Yusuke is also pretty shameless so although he'd react it wouldn't get to him as much. 3/10 somebody stop this man from asking people to strip.

16 Sylvain- while yes technically he does the same thing as Leon he is a bit less used to genuine thing so he'd act a bit differently. 4/10 we're getting there.

15 Sollux- Depends on what you do honestly. He can take most of the things but not everything. 5/10 but please stop the dick talk it's just annoying.

14 Vera- She is a bad bitch but still a bit soft so if you manage to impress her good for you! You got a blushing Vera that can't think straight. 5/10 she's going to get back at you tho...

13 Zen- He'd overdo his reaction on purpose what a drama queen. But he enjoys it when someone takes his breath away so he's going to cooperate. 6/10 still expects it and enjoys it to the fullest.

12 Kirumi- She might try to act calm but if you talk to her while showing her affection in public she is NOT going to take it well. 6/10 she's just confused.

11 Jakob- While Jakob is rather bold in later stages of relationship his lover always will make his heart skip a beat. And in public he just doesn't know how to act. 7/10 give him a kiss and he won't be able to get enough.

10 Damien- Ah yes someone accepting his soft side can definitely use it to their advantage so he is fairly easy to fluster. 7/10 just like in the simulations.

9 Kayn- OH he's easily flustered but nothing will stop him from fighting back. Do you really think you can get away with teasing him? No you cannot but watching him try to counter attack while his brain processes what you just did is hilarious. 8/10 he forgets how to speak but once he calms down he will have his revenge.

8 Sett- He will get flustered only if he actually has feelings for you. Since if you were just strangers flirting back and forth it would never have any effect on him. But back to the topic if you are his lover it's fairly easy to make his heart rush. 8/10 he doesn't know why is that tbh.

7 Ibuki- She is open about being flustered and it's not so hard to make her swoon. She will obviously do so even when you just try. 8/10 give this girl a KISS.

6 Ezreal- Just by listening to his voice files its easy to determine that he is very easy to fluster even when HE'S the one trying. Like your reactions by themselves would kill him. 8/10 Still depends on his mood.

5 Kirishima- He just doesn't know how to react if you get him off guard, otherwise it's a no u card and YES he is still shocked. 9/10 give him looove 😳

4 Kiyotaka- while yes this man is pretty much shameless it's much different when it's about his lover. He can take things such as compliments and everything verbal without a problem (unless it's too flirty) but affection he doesn't expect will certainly fuck him up. 9/10 Hoo boy.

3 Mammon- Good lord he is easily flustered and we all know it. He catches on quickly but his tsundere nature still stays and he's going to be flustered easily no matter what. 9/10 please tell him how much he means to you.

2 Mineo- I'd give him the first place really but I did play the DLC and even though he gets flustered very easily in the DLC he was more bold and didn't shut down with a simple kiss on the cheek (but that scene was cuuuute). I mean he still is very akward (and I love he...) and if he wasn't the one who initiated things he was still flustered. 10/10 he is just too adorable but not enough for the first place.

1 Gundham- I don't even have to explain a thing just play the game. This boy is flustered easily by a compliment if he knows that it's genuine and just any form of affection. 100/10 but he still stays strong... Well tries to...

[princeazurathepathetic]

Do you have any Azura headcanons?

Thank you for sending an ask, and yes I do, quite a few.

But they’re all under the cut because some of them are spoilery and I have some followers who have never played Fates

1. She did not know about her and Corn being cousins. (they never state in game if Azura knew, so Imma say that she did not)

2. Out of her Hoshibros, she was closest to Hinoka. (I rlly like their supports lmao)

3. In her first few days in Hoshido, she was convinced that they were lying about not wanting to her, and every time they wanted to help her or give her food, she was convinced they wanted to kill her.

4. She actually had a decent relationship w/ Garon before he became possessed and shit. Especially when Arete and Garon were courting.

5. She barely remembers this, though.

6. She had one friend in Nohr, (one of her step-siblings) but they were one of the first to die in the concubine-wars

7. This sibling liked to tell ghost stories, and that is where her love for ghost stories came from

8. She’s a crazy cat lady at heart lmao

9. Her favourite memory of her memory of Arete was when she got to sit in the audience at one of shows in Cyrkensia. This is what inspired her to become a singer just like mama

10.Her and her wonderful nephew (Kiragi when will u be added in Heroes?) have a really good relationship, and he makes her feel wholesome and good.

10. She’s terrible with kids due to most of the kids she knew growing up tried to kill her at some point.

10. She actually did have retainers for a short while in Hoshido, but they didn’t trust her due to her being “Nohrian” and eventually betrayed her. And she hasn’t wanted to have retainers since (bc of her amazing trust issues)

11. She truly and deeply thinks nobody loves her lol (not really a hc but whatever)

12. Sometimes when she’s in Valla, she visits her fathers grave, placing flowers even tho she doesn’t remember him

13. Although she likes Hoshido in almost every way better than Nohr, she doesn’t enjoy the fashion as much, and that’s why she doesn’t wear Hoshidan clothes

14. Mikoto made her the dress she has right now, making sure to make it look Vallite and not Nohrian

15. She tried to learn how to ride a pegasus while in Hoshido, but failed miserably.

16. For a while, she asked what Corrin was like, and tried to be like them, in hopes to raise her Hoshibros’s spirits

17. It didn’t work at all, and just strained her relationship with Pineapple more.

18. Upon meeting Mikoto for the first time, Mikoto asked if her mother was in good health. When Azura answered with the fact that her mama was dead, Mikoto almost started crying. Azura never knew why until she finds out they were sibs

19. Her and Oboro have a pretty terrible relationship (i’m sure u can figure out why)

20. One time in Hoshido, she lost her pendant, and made everyone stay up looking for it.

21. She hates tomatoes. Her and Leo will often argue about whether they taste good (it never goes anywhere but u know Leo, he needs to be right about everything)

22. She tried to save Arthur when he defended her (see their supports)

23. The guards at Castle Krakenburg hated her guts cuz they would always get in trouble when she ran away.

24. She knows about Sakura’s dolls (see Kaze and Sakura’s supports) and actually helped her make a few of them

25. She never knows how to react to physical affection

26. Like when someone hugs her, she just awkwardly pats them on the back and tries to get them off of her

27. She was very suspicious of Jakob for a while when she first met him. 

28. His over the top love of Corn reminded her of her retainers shortly before they tried to kill her, and she was convinced he was buttering Corn up and was going to hurt them at some point

29. She does not get along very well with her wonderful nephew Shiro. She finds him too loud and brash.

30. She supports Forrest with every bit of her living soul and would die for him.

31. She doesn’t really know how to talk with Sieggy, and most of their conversations are really awkward small talk.

32. She finds Kana, like Elise, a handful, and far too much energy for her.

33. When she dies in Conquest and Birthright, she thinks of Shigure, and how he must be experiencing the same thing that she did when her mama died

34. She absolutely hated having to put Shigure in the deeprealms, since she didn’t want Shigure to have to grow up without parents there, like she did

35. She only ever wears clothes that match with her pendant. That way, people are less likely to notice it.

36. She wasn’t originally planning to stay with Corn in conquest. She planned on just staying with them untill htey were near enough to the border for her to get back to Hoshido

37. But then she started to like Corn, and opted to stay

38. It was incredibly hard for her to have to watch Pineapple’s descent into insanity.

39. And she stayed up crying about it a lot.

40. She’s babie.

41. Also she doesn’t actually know how to swim, she just kinda uses her pendant to drift thru water (like in the first cutscene u see her in)

44. She actually likes her Nohrian Dance outfit more but will never admit to it.

Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head lmao.

Thanks for the ask! Stay safe and wash ur hands ya’ll
