Another ship child????

This is a request/suggestion from @justafriendlystranger !!

This is the ship child of Snowy and Ink, Colvyr! Their name means "one who resembles a dove", peaceful and calm. Been wanting to design a new character without making an entirely different oc so I thought, why not do a ship child?? And I've been strongly inspired to make one because of my dear friend chiro and their ship child creation of tignhari and cyno!! I love them sooo muuuch so of course I have to make one too!!! (⁠≧w≦⁠)❤️❤️❤️

Colvyr loves to hang out more in the daycare to accompany their mother Snowy who works there. They're mostly seen sleeping in the nap area and when kids approach them and ask to play he would gladly accept. He has an incredibly long patient no matter how rowdy or aggressive the kids get, They love spending time with their mom while also being visited by ink in the daycare to teach them how to draw and paint too. 💙🩵🧡

Who's next?? :33

⚠️ FRIDAY - ISRAEL REALTIME - Connecting to Israel in Realtime

Erev Shabbat - Parshat Barak - Numbers 22:2 - Balak, the king of Moab, summons the prophet Balaam to curse the people of Israel.  Three times, from three different vantage points, Balaam attempts to pronounce his curses; each time, blessings issue forth instead. Balaam also prophesies on the end of the days and the coming of Moshiach (the Jewish messiah).

⚠️ WORLD WIDE COMPUTER OUTAGE .. Israel impact (not a cyber attack - an update error)

ISRAEL EMERGENCY NUMBERS MAY BE DOWN:

MDA 101 - alternatives call Hatzalah 1221 (who report they are operating fine) or 100 police

Electric Company - instead of 103, call 054-5838074 or report on Facebook page.

Working fine: 100 police, 102 fire

Some Israeli companies impacted - may accept only cash or be unable to do business for a while:

Israel Post

Sky News having disruptions

⚠️HEZBOLLAH THREATENS.. significant retaliation for recent IDF targeted eliminations.  Northern towns should be on ALERT, take precautions in the north.

▪️RUMORS ABOUT PM.. may suspend trip to the US.  At the same time, “Israeli officials estimate that the Netanyahu-Biden meeting will not take place on Monday as planned”, unclear if due to Biden’s health or US election politics.

▪️FIN. MINISTER.. Sanctions from cabinet on PA officials NOT implemented by IDF and Shin Bet for the last 3 weeks???

▪️FBI USES ISRAELI SOFTWARE.. Washington Post: The FBI hacked into the phone of the assassin of Trump using the software of the Israeli company Celebrity.

▪️ECONOMY.. The Turkish embargo has stopped the import of Hyundai, and it is beginning to seep into Toyota, whose inventory in Israel is also shrinking.

PRESS BRIEFING BY IDF SPOKESPERSON RADM. DANIEL HAGARI - JULY 19, 2024

Overnight, a UAV, which we believe was launched from Yemen, infiltrated from the sea to our west and struck a building in central Tel Aviv. This impact resulted in the death of one civilian and lightly injured eight others. We extend our condolences to the bereaved family and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.

No alert was activated during the incident, and we are thoroughly investigating the matter. Our initial findings suggest the UAV was a Samad-3, an Iranian weapon likely upgraded to extend its range. This UAV flew from Yemen to Tel Aviv. Iran supports, funds, and arms its proxies in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, as evidenced by last night's event. UAV threats have been a constant challenge since the beginning of the war across all our borders. Dozens of UAVs have been launched from Yemen alone, most of which have been intercepted or shot down before entering Israeli territory. The majority were intercepted by an American task force under U.S. CENTCOM, while the rest were intercepted by Israeli Air Force planes or defense systems.

Simultaneously with the Tel Aviv incident, another UAV attempting to infiltrate from the east was intercepted and shot down outside of Israel’s borders. We are investigating the connection between the two incidents.

We are conducting a thorough inquiry to understand why the UAV was not identified as a threat and intercepted before it struck. An initial inquiry was conducted this morning, and we will continue to review the findings and update the public accordingly.

I want to emphasize that our defense is not foolproof. We are strengthening our air patrols and airspace protection across the country. We are continuously improving our capabilities to better protect the citizens of Israel.

There is no change in the Home Front Command directives. Should there be any changes, we will immediately inform the public.

Overnight and this morning, the Chief of the General Staff conducted several situational assessments. We have increased our defensive capabilities in Israel’s skies with additional planes and other measures to improve detection, alert, and interception capabilities. The incident on the ground was managed cooperatively by the Israel Police, Magen David Adom, and the Israel Fire and Rescue Services, who provided vital details for the inquiry.

In the north, the UAV threat is a daily challenge due to short-range launches, differing from last night’s incident. We are studying the northern threat to improve our response. We recognize the ongoing challenges faced by residents in the north.

In the past day, we have eliminated six Hezbollah terrorists and struck fifteen targets from the air and ground in the north.

We are engaged in a multi-front war, operating in all arenas and defending the country's skies daily. We are addressing threats both near and far.

In the coming days, we will continue our situational assessments to understand the incident better, determine the source of the threat, and decide on the necessary defensive and operational responses against those who threaten the State of Israel.

Sorry for this staying a long time in the ask box, this song both contains slang, metaphors, and subjectless sentences which are IMPOSSIBLE to translate literally to english. I hope this is close enough:

Doing the wound and here's another crossroad Making a U-turn when I smell snakes They are going out there, to sell to the weak Thanks but I'm not interested When I'm hanging on by a thread

From the road's beggining, they said "there's need for luck Sweety, for the buisness You ain't enough of a fox (means the same as the english 'hawk') There's a need for a story to sell, and you don't have it at all" So when I started to play they said "What for? shame on your time!"

But I'm a beast from an extinct specie, something special The entire herd storms head first? I went from the side Gathering them one by one More stage, less alone In the end, those that have hindsight 20\20 will come too

All the peacocks run I continue to walk Let's see who will stop When the road becomes bumpy All the wolves only want To fuck the system Even if they run I always continue to walk

Step by step in serenity It's a gosh darn long marathon Failure they don't heal there, in Asuta (hospital) If it's needed, I fall down, I continue I am a mammoth

When I was little there still were bands that did a ba-bam in the heart Today, if you won't sell your grandma You'll remain hungry All of us, like fish, are getting caught in a net Reasons to disassociate I find every day in a rainbow

(Rainbow and Net are the names of the main television networks)

A pose, a ridiculous pose I still didn't get it, dear (also soul) where are you going? Peacocks run quickly but tomorrow will come a Shalechet (the process of leaves falling in autumn) Every feather today is amazing but tomorrow it gets dirty

There is nothing to do, because doubts come regularly I am both the best, and also the worst If it is a process, then bro everything is chill And if the heart darkens, then you only have to move

All the peacocks run I continue to walk Let's see who will stop When the road becomes bumpy All the wolves only want To fuck the system Even if they run I always continue to walk

Step by step in serenity It's a gosh darn long marathon Failure they don't heal there, in Asuta (hospital) If it's needed, I fall down, I continue I am a mammoth

The Asa in AsaKiku, of course, comes from Arthur, but recently, I discovered Asa also means "morning"! That prompted me to look up if Asu could mean anything, because I call the fem version of the ship AsuKiku – Asu being short for "Asuta" as in Aster, while Kiku is the same since it's a unisex name.

Asu seems to be a form of "tomorrow" in Japanese", which is interesting since that's also a time.

So AsaKiku could be interpreted as "morning chrysanthemum" while the fem version, AsuKiku, could be "tomorrow's chrysanthemum"/"chrysanthemum of tomorrow"!

[elkian]

Since I'm talking about Suspension of Disbelief today apparently, here's a problem that took me a long time to articulate correctly that I have with worldbuilding.

Example A (D?) is Vampire Hunter D. I liked the movies, enjoyed much of the manga, so I picked up the books, hoping for more information. However, I finally gave up on the books (after the volume that the Bloodlust film is based on). Part of this is because the story, which I'd really enjoyed the movie of but had some problems with, wasn't better in book form. It was actually worse in some ways - particularly how I found out that Charlotte's name was either added by the movie staff or not translated in book form. She was just called "the girl" for the entire volume.

But while that was the main reason I gave up on reading the series, it wasn't the only one. Vampire Hunter D has a setting that I'm interested in, a bleak post-apoc fantasy future that intrigues me, and a certain level of angst that I generally enjoy.

But it also had a major, ongoing worldbuilding problem (for me), and that was that the story didn't merely follow the protagonist, it only followed the protagonist. All worldbuilding elements tended to be about how bleak and unbearable the future was, with a handful of technological advancements. The world itself was only interesting when D was present and interacting with it, even though it had a lot of elements that would make for a world I would usually enjoy! From a fan creation standpoint, it was very difficult for me to workshop fic for the series, because the world was only really 'real' when D was Being The Protagonist at it.

He was the only one allowed to solve problems, to fix issues, to kill vampires most of the time. And while I liked him well enough, his personality and motivations are vague enough that he really cannot carry the series on force of personality alone, in my own opinion. VHD isn't a bad series, necessarily, but it was one I couldn't engage with past a certain point.

And to be clear, this post is not about me slamming this series. It had a lot of interesting things I enjoyed, and the Bloodlust movie in particular is still appealing to me, even with its weird moments. This is just about how narrative and worldbuilding work, and VHD is an example that I can articulate my problems with. It's especially frustrating to me because the series has so much potential appeal, but I just can't get any further into it.

Now, my counterpoints. For some reason anime is on the brain, so let's bring up Helck, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Frieren: At Journey's End.

All three of these series, in some respect, avoid the problem I had with VHD. Helck is especially interesting as a comparison, because it also has a Specialest Boy In The World protagonist... but the thrust of the series is partly about how just being obscenely strong and competent doesn't mean he's undeserving of help, and that help changes the trajectory of his story in a very positive way.

But one of the fun things about Helck is the side stories and side characters. There's a gag a few times involving a series of characters that are experiencing their Hot-Blooded Shonen Cooking Manga storyline, completely divorced from the dramatic stakes of Helck's core story. Helck and Vamirio even butt into their story for a cooking competition chapter, which is hilarious. And we sometimes see characters like this interacting with side characters from other arcs, in ways that don't refer to Helck or Vamirio or Piwi at all. Further, we see side characters like the Demon King Tourney participants doing things like making new friends, fighting against the antagonists and getting stronger, and writing the empire-famous manga that Asuta loves. Over and over, Helck as a story acknowledges a very wide world that isn't directly involved in much of the core story, yet when the protagonists interact with it, doing so affects them, changing their ideals and widening their viewpoints.

FMA does hinge a little more on Ed's journey, but many of the characters doing things he precipitated had never actually met him. And what's important to that story in particular is stuff like the epilogue with Al traveling with the chimeras, and things of that nature - of Ed and Al over and over displaying compassion to the point that it changed people's lives. The protagonists are important, yes, but the world is repeatedly shown to go on without them, even during core story moments, because the world is full of strong (even, at times, stronger than the protags) characters with complex personalities and motivations.

Frieren is a little less so, probably since her journey with Himmel was extremely important on a social level even now, but characters, trends, and locations are typically fleshed out to the point where it doesn't feel like the Special Protagonists have to Exist At Them for things to happen. Soul Track being broken down and integrated into basic offense magic could have been something Frieren did, so I like that it's something humans did on their own, completely divorced from her interference past the initial binding point. Actually, a theme of the series as a whole is Frieren being ancient and knowledgeable and yet, willingly and willfully, learning from humans and the world around her more and more.

Lastly, a non-anime example, is how Sir Terry deliberately wrote Ankh-Morpork in a way that it could feasibly exist outside of the immediate tracks of a story. He succeeded to the point that virtually every location and character in the Disc could be transplanted alone into a completely new story and still be recognizable. I could, and would, read a story that takes place in Ankh-Morpork that namedrops not one known character and still feel like it fits, like it's vibrant, like it's alive. You could tell me that Granny Weatherwax dismantled a cult of people who thought the Disc rested atop the backs of pigs as an aside in a book not at all about her, and I could go "yeah that sounds like her" and move on.

I've heard it mentioned in DnD terms, the idea that one should account for players not doing as expected and ignoring a major plot point, and what should happen if they do. In BG3, if you take too many Rests, an inn fire will burn down and kill everyone trapped in the building that you could have saved, which will have some effects on the quest(s) you get at that location. FNV had "hunting ghosts in Baja" that I really respect, the idea that not only is there a wider world out there, but that it understandably doesn't really care what one person, no matter how Special, is doing in a distant place, because they have their own problems to attend to.

I don't know if there's a particular phrase for this idea that I'm missing, and to be fair, there are plenty of times where it is okay for the story to revolve around the protagonist! it's often plenty fine and enjoyable to watch the Specialest Person In The World fix everything! But sometimes, worldbuilding that doesn't account for the protagonist not existing can fall so flat that it makes it hard, even impossible, to continue enjoying the rest of the work.

I guess that's it - whether creators consider how to answer the question of "if so-and-so didn't exist, what impact would it have on the world?" and how they choose to answer that.

PICREW CREDITS

Asuta Azumi, the token SHSL ??? of Village of Hope. My main OC that I'm gonna be writing in and out of VOH.

Having been a part of tests on a group of kids thought to have psychic prowess, her tests bore fruit in the form of uncanny predictions of the future and peering into people's history. But, instead of sticking around, she walks away from the project. Instead favouring to go back to her foster homes and trying to live a somewhat normal life.

In either timeline- be it Classic or V3 Inspired- Hope's Peak finds out about these tests and she's brought into the school as the SHSL Oracle. Though... she tends to keep that to herself and given her talent, she becomes a part of private classes; making her quite the mystery among students.

Though they also remain a mystery to her, making her rather naive and easy to manipulate. Eventually it makes her very obedient, but also distrustful and paranoid; afraid anyone could either be out to get her or would want to find out her talent and use her as an asset.

This ends up earning her the unofficial title of SHSL Marionette as well.

For Village of Hope: This remains though HPA's Lifespan, the tragedy and through most of her eventual time with Future Foundation. Where she eventually grows tired of just helping with cleanup. Instead she ends up having her first independent idea that she presents to higher ups: Put together a team specifically designed to start rebuilding a society and use a simulation to train this team.

Naturally this. Goes horrifically wrong.
