Netflix's Chaos Monkey: Embracing Failure for Resilience

Chaos Monkey is an innovative tool developed by Netflix as part of their Simian Army suite of testing tools. It deliberately introduces failures into your cloud infrastructure to test system resilience and recovery capabilities. Chaos Monkey works by randomly terminating instances in your production environment. This might sound counterintuitive, but by forcing failures to occur, it helps…

In this article, we will take a look at how to deploy an angular application to an Amazon S3 Bucket and access it via AWS Cloud Front. Let's read here -

idk if you are writing much for sbg, let alone how to request much, but could you do romantic or platonic sbg (or just Tyler and Ben) with reader with like long curly hair, similar to Sunday kalogeras and she doesn't know what to do with it most the time.

-> context: curly haired girls are so fine

-> fandom: school bus graveyard

-> warnings: none?

TYLER

Sometimes you had no idea of how to manage your hair. You swore it had a mind of its own. Spiraling curls that framed your face like storm clouds. Most days, your let it roam free, more out of surrender than choice. You owned six different hair products, none of which worked the same way twice. One morning it bounced like a shampoo commercial, the next it looked like you'd fought a bush and lost.

So somehow, through all that mess, Tyler still managed to find his own ways of liking it. "By the way, your hair looks good. I like it like that. Just… thought you should know."

That compliment caught you off guard but practically made your whole day. The way you beamed and awkwardly laughed with a small thanks made Tyler want to say more just to see you smile once again.

The wind picked up once again, the sky gray and blinding. Your hair, predictably, went wild once again. "Ugh," You muttered, brushing it back. "I should just shave it off."

Tyler glances at you, thinking for a moment before muttering, "Don’t."

You squinted at him, pausing your walk, "Don’t what?"

"Shave it," He said. Then shrugged, as if it was nothing. "I mean. It’s... Food. Like that. Or however it is. Doesn’t matter."

"You think my hair’s good." You asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah." He sounds like he’s admitting a war crime. "I mean, it’s a mess, but it works. On you." He shifted on his feet awkwardly and you forced yourself not to chuckle in amusement at his sudden bashfulness. "I like it."

You stared at him for a moment, though he avoided eye contact like it was physically painful. "...You like my hair?"

He exhaled hard. "I like you. The hair’s just part of it. Unfortunately." He rubbed the back of his neck, looking ready to bolt.

She blinks, stunned, before standing beside him once again with a chuckle. "You suck at this," she says.

"Yeah," He sighed. But it was worth it to see you smile at him.

BEN

Some mornings, it feels like your hair wakes up before you do. You've watched enough tutorials to know you're supposed to love your curls. Embrace the volume. Romanticize the frizz. But you’re not sure how to “romanticize” waking up with your head looking like that.

You've tried tying them up, taming them with pins, wrapping them in scarves, only for a stubborn curl to spring free like it’s laughing at your efforts. Sometimes you catch people staring, and you're never sure if it's admiration or awe at how you haven't burst into flames from sheer frustration

You were fussing with your hair, again. You turned to see Ben staring at you with a slight smile before he noticed your gaze. He paused, cheeks tinted pink before he quickly signed 'Beautiful'. HUH?! You opened your mouth to ask him to elaborate before Aiden had caught his attention with a ladybug.

It was late afternoon and you were sitting with Ben in the park. Aiden and Taylor were doing an arm wrestle as Ashlynn begrudgingly recorded and Tyler and Logan watched.

Your curls were frizzy from the humidity, and you were constantly pushing them behind your ears. “I don’t even know why I bother with this hair.” You muttered.

Ben stared at you for a moment before gently reaching out and tucking a stray curl behind your ear. “What are you doing?” You asked.

He held your gaze for just a moment longer before giving you that adorable smile of his you loved. "They're really pretty." He typed on his phone.

You stared at him with slightly wide eyes before smiling bashfully. Warmth filled your chest, making your hands tingle and your legs shake slightly. "... Thanks."

(A/n: keep in mind I DO NOT HAVE CURLY HAIR, so i am unfamiliar with this ask! so sorry if this is wrong and please tell me in the comments!)

How did you improve so much in a year at building and taking screenshots?! Forever in awe

hahah thank you so much! I'm so happy with my improvement - the answer is ~magic~

nah, really, it's just that when I started Lucky Girl back at the end of 2022, I knew absolutely none of the screenshot tricks - I only ever got ts4 as a way to tell the story, and hadn't played it at all in the years prior. I ended up trying to take screenshots in a game where I didn't even know how to work the teleport function - and you can tell, I fear.

I was also using another platform to share my story at the time, and a lot of the content there kinda looked the same - vanilla, screenshots taken with plumbobs on and the walls down etc. I wasn't using Tumblr so I didn't have any inspiration. Coming here really pushed me to be better and taught me a lot of tricks and new things to add to my game to make it look better - the short of it, is that I just really didn't know better, and I just wanted to write the story. The screenshots felt secondary. I look back and cringe tbh, but I distinctly remember not really bothering that much with them, and thinking that 'just okay' was good enough.

Since then I've learned so much!

The first was how to teleport, and use MCCC to get sims to do couple poses off the lot

I got TOOL and figured all of that stuff out - including to create the illusion of varying heights etc.

I added in more details to the sims, changed any hair and skin issues, and added in skin details galore

I use WW for posing whenever I need something a bit more complex

I got over my fear of having too much CC in my game and just got so much build/buy cc - this made it possible to create the kinds of houses and rooms I imagined in my head - also, experience building helped a lot. In the beginning I was so intimidated, and frankly, unable to make things looked good that I relied on builds from the gallery 90% of the time.

Weirdly, even though I studied film in college, I never applied my knowledge of composition to the screenshots - I just started doing that, and generally trying to think more cinematically.

I got more use to using photoshop to fix screenshots, mix them together and crop them to be more compositionally pleasing. I also did that tutorial about changing the BG of a scene - I do that as a last resort, but it really works.

RESHADE - this was the biggest one. That DOF really changed my screenshot game - there's a point in lucky girl where I started using it, and you can see the instant difference.

Lighting mods - I use sunblind, and I also use the ghibli replacement clouds. I have a few others also to fix the shadows and lighting in general

Being more intentional with poses. I got a bunch of new ones with more subtle expressions that I felt suited the tone of my story better. I think the exaggerated ones are super cute, but they always seemed too much for my story. I also got animations for even more natural movement in scenes. Sometimes I'll make my own, too, if I can't find exactly what I am looking for

The eye trick was a huge gamechanger - I use it almost every single shot, and truly couldn't live without it.

Relight is a recent addition to my game - I only figured out how to use it around the end of part 2 of Lucky Boy. I don't use it a lot, but it was great more some of the dramatically lit festival scenes, and whenever I want some lamplight on a character (Or to just balance out a dark part of the shot)

camera mods have helped me gain more control of my scenes, along with the CTRL 5/6/7/8/9 camera saving trick. I use this a lot too, especially when I need to characters to look at each other with the eye trick and they won't do it at the same time (recent example below)

All of that is basically how I did it! It was a whole process but I'm so pleased because I look at the old screenshots and just think, damn, I've come so far!

More examples of the same scenes redone, because it's fun

@steddiebang2024 project reveal!! This is not a drill!

I’m so so excited for this year’s Steddie Bang! I’ll be collabing with the amazing @mvnsvn6 for this project! Forget everything you know about Stranger Things and Saltburn and dive into this adventure with us. You can find the summary and a little excerpt will be under the cut.

Looking forward to posting this Fall :)

Summary:

Eddie Munson knows he won’t make any friends at Hawkins University. He knows it. He knows it… Until he crosses paths with Steve Harrington; a hunk who’s got it all: the looks, the ladies, the money, and a mansion way too big for an eccentric family of five and a butler. He’s got a mansion.

He’s got a mansion.

or, Eddie Munson is twenty years old and enrols at Hawkins University. He falls in love with a guy from university, falls out of love with the same guy, grows to resent him — even though some feelings still lie at the bottom of his heart — and the aftermath of it all.

Excerpt:

The sun shines bright, the grass is greener than ever and the skies are pure, perfect blue, with no clouds in sight. Shadows follow Eddie as he cycles along the road by the crystal-clear river, and he breathes in the fresh air. Today’s going to be a good day.

A buzzing atmosphere flutters around him like butterflies, but it’s pretty bittersweet. Why? Because some god-awful racket is disrupting the peace. It’s Steve, sitting on the verge up ahead, cursing under his breath as he kicks his bicycle. What ever could be the matter? Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

Eddie smirks as he passes, but stopping to help might get him on a page in Steve’s good book. He breaks to a halt in front of Steve.

“Hey, what happened?” Eddie asks, as if he doesn’t already know the answer. It’s a flat tire and the chain is looser than it should be. Steve has the bike upside down, trying to fix it by staring at it, hoping it’ll do something. Spoiler alert: it won’t.

“I’ve got a flat tire.” Bingo. “Chain’s loose too.” Double bingo.

“That’s bad luck,” Eddie says, and for once, something truthful comes out of his mouth— Eddie stops. For once, uh… he says something useful? Maybe? Eddie rolls his eyes. He has to stop changing his story! He was doing so well.

“I’ve just been trying to fix it,” Steve says, looking down at his feet. “Of course it’s when I’m already ten minutes late for my tutorial.”

Ooh, a tutorial. Eddie rolls his eyes. So posh. Jesus H Christ.

“Where is it?” Eddie asks.

“Just off Cherry Lane.”

“Oh shit.” That is pretty far away. Poor boy’s gonna have to walk all the way there on his own like half the people in college, probably. Eddie scoffs, it’s nothing. A walk is nothing. A run? That’s hard sometimes. Walking’s easy, and a good time to have a cigarette. And it’s less dangerous, and a lot easier, to smoke while walking than riding a bike. The scar on Eddie’s right arm is proof of that.

“Yeah…” Steve trails off, pouting like a kicked puppy. Jesus Christ, and Eddie thought he himself was dramatic.

They both look at the bike at the same time. It’s pretty much a goner. There’s no way to fix it in time for Steve to get to his stupid fucking tutorial before it’s over.

“I skipped last week to go- don’t tell anyone- but I went on a date with uh… Can't remember her name, sorry. Heather, or something. And I’m already in trouble with my parents for scratching some of the paint off it, so…”

Oh, poor, poor baby. Eddie internally rolls his eyes. Is Steve seriously trying to make Eddie feel sorry for him? Eddie’s pretty sure Steve’s parents could buy him a thousand bikes if he asked. But… He wants to get on Steve’s good side. He’s definitely popular around campus, and having that under his own belt could be good. Might get Eddie laid by a pretty girl if he’s lucky.

“Look, I’m not really going anywhere,” Eddie says, smiling at him. “Just taking these back to the library. So you can take my bike if you want?”

“No, no, no, I couldn’t. I mean, it looks like rain, I wouldn’t want to—”

Eddie can’t help but melt under Steve’s gaze, and that smile. Jesus H. Christ. “I’m not really going anywhere anyway. I can just get it back from you later. You’re in my college, so…” Perfect. He’ll get to see Steve again. One point for Munson.

“Am I?” Steve asks, keeping his gaze trained on Eddie.

Eddie sighs, his eyes downcast. “Yep.”

It’s a big college, sure, but how has Steve not seen him around before? Has he forgotten about their exchanged looks and smiles around campus whenever they cross paths? Does anything even really matter to him?

“That’s so kind, are you serious?” He asks, getting up from his spot by the tree. “That’s so kind, man. Are you sure? I mean, it’s a long walk back to college and I don’t want you to feel like you have to wheel it back.”

“You want me to take yours back?” Eddie asks. Oh what, so this douche thinks he can tell Eddie what to do now? He doesn’t even know Eddie’s name and he’s already giving him orders. Maybe it’s because Eddie looks easy to manipulate into doing whatever he wants.

But that’s what he wants Steve to think.

Eddie likes to think of himself as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. That’s the strategy in life that gets people everything they want. And what is it Eddie wants? More. More. And even more. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to get that, and so far it’s taken him right to Steve Harrington by a tree just outside of Hawkins University.

It didn’t exactly take much for him to get accepted; a carefully curated persona full of smiles and the story about his upbringing. That, and all the little extras: no criminal record—that the police know of, he knows how to make people take the fall for him. Bless Gareth, Frankie and Jeff—no drugs in his system, and a willingness to go down on anyone in any room to keep up his good GPA score.

Bedroom eyes go a long way, and the lack of a gag reflex goes even further. He’s willing to become the local slut to get what he wants. He doesn’t even have to try hard. Eddie is a slut and he’s damn proud of it.

“Oh, no, no, no!” Steve starts. “I’m sorry, I just thought that since I have your bike, you’ll take mine?” Eddie’s works, Steve’s does not, it makes little to no sense.

“I mean, I can wheel it back to college for you, it’s not that far away,” Eddie proposes… to get on Steve’s good side, of course.

“Thank you.” Steve takes Eddie’s bike from him.

He must be so used to people bending over backwards to help him.

Steve grins. “Oh, thank you. Thank you… I’m sorry, I don’t know your name. I’m Steve,” he says with an apologetic look. Oh, but is it fake? Who knows? Everything is fake around here. And posh, rich boys like Steven Otis Harrington are no exception.

I already know your name. And you have no idea just how much I already know about you, Steve.

“Eddie. It’s Eddie.”

“Eddie. Eddie, I love you.” Eddie’s eyes widen as Steve grabs him by the shoulders, planting a kiss on the top of his helmet. Even though he doesn’t want to play it safe in college, he also doesn’t want to get a concussion. So the stupid helmet will have to stay on. “I love you, I love you. Seriously.”

“Like I said, no big deal.”

“Thank you so much, Eddie,” he says with a wide smile, hopping onto the bike, swinging his leg over to put one of his feet on the pedals. “So kind. You’re a fucking lifesaver, really. Thank you.”

Eddie scoffs. Yeah, sure. He’s so thankful for it. Sure. Eddie rolls his eyes when Steve isn’t looking, too focused on pedalling to look back.

“I’ll just leave yours in the bike shed, yeah?”

“Yeah, fine.” If Steve even so much as scratches the bike, it’s over for him. No more talking, no more looking… Eddie will just have to find a new friend, or else pretend to forgive him to stay on his good side.

“Thanks, Eddie!” He calls over his shoulder. “I love you!”

Wow. Does love even have any meaning to him? Does Steve even know what love is? Surely not if he’s telling a fucking stranger that he loves them.

Eddie watches Steve disappear around the corner, leaving him standing alone, holding the broken bike. This is so stupid. He’s gonna look like a fucking idiot walking a bike all the way back to campus. But who cares? It’s not like anyone’s even going to pay attention to some small-town boy anyway…

But Steve might.

He just might. Because that’s all Eddie’s ever wanted.

Attention.

And he’ll do pretty much anything to get it.

Just Qin Huanghou meeting the Divination Commission ~

The leader of the Divination Commission aboard the Xianzhou Luofu, Fu Xuan came to meet Qin Su, to show her around the Commission and most importantly where they operate and manufacture the Jade abacai.

Fu xuan: greetings, Huanghou. Are you ready?

Qin Su: Fu Xuan, nice to meet you.

Of course! I'm so excited to see your technologies. Hopefully the jianghu and our fox spirits can adopt it.

Fu xuan: anything for the hulijing empire, Huanghou.

And we have our people to introduce these kinds of technology to them.

Qin Su: excellent. But it seems like it shouldn't end up in the wrong hands.

Fu xuan: that's correct.

Hence we have civilian versions of the Jade abacus.

Honestly they're really cute, and I'll show them to you.

Qin Su: I would love that.

Fu xuan: our special intelligence is only for Diviners, and the Mengs. No one else can access it.

Qin Su: oh waw.

Fu xuan: shall we?

Qin Su: mn.

They both then embarked on the Xianzhou Luofu, which was casually parked in an imperial helipad, that Yao Huangdi had recently created. Then shortly after, they were off.

Qin Su: the Xianzhou Luofu is an entire floating city. Do people get lost here?

Fu xuan: I haven't heard of anyone getting lost, but maybe a couple newcomers had. I guess.

Everyone belongs to a certain district and department.

Whether they specialize medicine, art, astrology, intelligence, sky Faring, piloting, Divination or craftsmanship. Also there's a base for Cloud Knights.

Qin Su: what about the civilians?

Fu xuan: much like a city. We have markets, stores, restaurants and places of leisure for them.

And not only your fox spirits are living here, but Xianzhou natives like me and the Vidhyadharas.

Our Arbiter General would keep our little cosmopolitan city in tack.

Qin Su: it's good that everyone is living happily together.

Fu xuan: all thanks to Guangyao Huangdi, and our very history.

Let me send a message to one of my diviner friends to tell them that you have arrived.

Qin Su: as in send a letter?

Fu Xuan: no no. Watch this. *lifts up her hand with a Jade bracelet, which shot out a sort of typing interface.

"The empress is here. Get ready."

Qin Su: *astonished* how?

Fu Xuan: this is an example of a civilian Jade abacus.

We just type in whatever message and it would be sent using Jade waves.

Qin Su: that's really unique!

Fu Xuan: we have plenty stores selling them, for civilian use.

And there are many other shapes and versions of it.

Qin Su: may I know how to operate it, and maybe show it to my family?

Fu xuan: of course, Huanghou.

We would always love to see our Huangdi and Dianxias posting things on our interfaces.

There are blogs where we can store and save messages and important info. And it can be updated every week if one likes.

Qin Su: aw, lovely.

.

The Divination Commission.📍

As expected, it was quite spacey, but that space was filled with huge Jade abacai.

The Jade abacus comprises of tall jade pillars with Divination symbols and encryptions. As well as rectangular  typing interfaces and screens.

Fu Xuan: Huanghou, meet my team.

Here's our Matrix manager, Huixing.

Huixing: *bow* I'm so happy to see you!

Qin Su: same, Huixing.

Huixing: you're really gorgeous as they say.

You and Huangdi.

Qin Su: aww thank you.

Huixing: it's an honour to show you around.

Fu Xuan: told you that Huanghou would  be interested in our technology.

Huixing: aha, of course I knew would see that coming.

Fu xuan: this is our librarian, Qingyue.

Other than keeping books on tutorials and abacus info, she invented a new coding system and stored many Important documents that's currently being transferred to the abacus.

A few 4th year diviner apprentices would do that for training.

Qingqyue: *pays respects* Huanghou.

Qin Su: you're quite talented and hardworking.

I commend you.

Qingyue: thank you so much.

Yes it's a lot of hard work.

Fu xuan: and these are the other diviners in my circle. As you know there are millions of diviners.

Jingzhai and Mingyue.

Both: *kneels*

Fu xuan: they're very very charming, by the way.

Qin Su: *smiling* greetings, fellow diviners, you may rise.

Jingzhai: welcome, Huanghou.

Mingyue: Huanghou we'll teach and show you everything.

Fu xuan: mhm.

Qin Su: I'm honoured.

Fu Xuan: guys, have you forgotten something?

Mingyue: oh right right! Huanghou, we'll serve you some refreshments. Forgive us.

Qin Su: it's fine. Perhaps we can have refreshments later. I'm eager to learn from you.

Fu xuan: this is our Jade interface, which allows us to type. You can navigate with this touch pad.

Qin Su: oh waw.

Fu Xuan: you can also ask the abacus a question, and it would reply.

Go ahead, Huangdi.

Qin Su: *types* "do you know who I am"

Fu xuan: the abacus is filled will a lot of info as well as predictions. And it never fails.

Mingyue: us diviners would deal with the input.

Within a minute, a whole biography of Qin su appeared on the screen. Then a voice began to project from the abacus.

"Qin Su, also known as Empress Qin, is the wife of Emperor Meng Yao. She is the daughter of the former clan leader Qin of the wealthy Laoling Qin clan.............."

Qin Su: I can't believe it.

Fu Xuan: there are some pictures of you too!

Qin Su: WHAT?

Jingzhai: Huanghou.....some people may have taken pictures you and the Mengs without your knowledge.

Are you OK with that?

Qin su: ahaha it's fine. I love the technology. I'm just dumbfounded.

Jingzhai: we have billions of pictures of Huangdi. Every girl has a picture of Taizi Dianxia, Er and San Dianxia. 

Qin Su: oh dear.

Jingzhai: the princes are very good looking, ma'am.

Qin su: ah, as they all should.

They have gorgeous parents, so.

Jingzhai: *laughing* yes, yes. Definitely!!

Fu xuan: the Meng paintings are digitalised too. However we have everything under control. Our Arbiter ordered us to keep these pictures respectable.

Qin Su: much appreciated. And they're all beautiful.

I hope they use their skills to promote the culture of our empire. We have a lot of talents, lores, history, food and fashion.

And now how our empire is diverse because of the Xianzhou Alliance.

Fu xuan: As you wish, Huanghou.

Brilliant idea.

Jingzhai: Huanghou, let me show you these holographic devices.

We would record things for one side, and it will be converted into a hologram.

Thereafter, he pressed one of the abacai, turning it on. Then the hologram appeared and showed a market scene.

Qin Su: that's really cool. And all of this is happening in real-time?

Jiangzai: yes. There are prerecorded stuff too.

Look at this. *shows her a hologram video of Yao Huangdi meeting the cloud Knights*

Qin Su: aw look Huangdi.

How charming.

Where do you guys hide.

Mingyi: we don't. We're invited, but the imperial family isn't aware of our technology.

Huangdi only knows that we're here to take notes and make sketches.

Recording is something new.

Qin Su: I'm amused.

Fu xuan: every Arbiter would have a team of diviners, to predict and create navigation maps.

Once we had detected a Borisin ship coming thousands of miles away, heading in our direction.

The abacus told us that they're planning to crash into us instead of using lasers and canons.

Qin Su: then what did you do?

Fu Xuan: luckily, we have some Xianzhou natives that had studied Su Xiandu's teleportation theories, so we were able manipulate the time vortex and get out of danger.

However, we left a little surprise for our enemies.

The holographic frame of the Luofu.

Mingyue: it's not like the holograms here. Hence it's much stronger, and would destroy anything that comes into contact with it.

Qin Su: you all are so brilliant.

Fu xuan: but that's just our Prescience Matrix. Which is a group of Jade abacai working together.

Some other diviners brought out trays of Jade abacus jewelry and tablet shaped abacai, for display.

Fu Xuan: which one do you like?

We would love to gift you your own.

And since we have more where that came from, the Mengs can have the rest of them.

Jingzhai: they're all state of the art!

Fu xuan may I walk you through it.

Qin Su: go ahead! They do indeed look state of the art.

Abacus bracelets~ They can be linked to  over 3000 other devices. All you got to do is clink them together.

Like the tablets and square pendants, it has messaging, saving, notifications, holograms, music, recordings, voice messages, camera, and a health tracker.

It tells you your qi level, blood level and aura. The health function will predict your future wellbeing, so that you can easily prevent falling ill.

Qin Su: putting Jiaoqiu out of business?

Fu xuan: he came up with the idea!

Huangdi doesn't need one, as he has many physicians already.

Abacus earrings~ holograms and airbuds, to secretly listen to messages or music. Messages have a self distruct.

Abacus necklace~ is for holograms too, as well as recording messages.

Abacus rings and these beads are just for recording and producing holograms only.

Box Abacus~ are for projection.

Fu Xuan: and Huangdi would love this one! It's a computer that can store and organize all his files.

Qin Su: excellent for the emperor.

He is a workaholic, and would love that.

Fu Xuan: but this one here is just basic. We had customized a computer for the emperor.

Qin Su: aw waw. He can store everything here.

Fu xuan: he can broadcast and send us messages, and keep in touch with his Jianghu affairs.

Qin su: then that means Su Xiandu needs one too.

Fu Xuan: certainly. But we must present it to the emperor first.

Qin su: that's right.

Jingzhai: Ma'am, it would be an honour to assist Huangdi in managing his files and emails.

Qin Su: marvelous. What a wonderful idea.

~~~

After the little exhibition, they sat and had refreshments. Then a conversation started.

Qin Su: Fu Xuan, thank you for having me. Your Divination Commission is beautiful, along with the rest of the Luofu.

Fu xuan: thank you, empress. Any time.

You, Huangdi and the rest of the imperial Mengs are ate always welcome.

Qin Su: aw. Do you know anything about our preceptor, Seimei?

Fu Xuan: he's very legendary.

I have only seen him once.

Qin Su: I see.

Fu xuan: he helps Foxians with astrology, and then just leaves for a long period of time.

Qin Su: oh.

You have foresight, correct?

Fu xuan: yes Huanghou. You're 100% correct. And I gave my Diviners foresight too.

Qin Su: tell me. Would A-Song be a great emperor one day?

And what about Aqing as his companion?

Fu xuan: *closes her eyes when the gem on her forehead began to glow*

Qin Su: *astonished*

Fu xuan: Rusong Taizi will be a legendary emperor like his father.

He'll bring in the Renaissance of precious Meng artifacts as well as new ideas mixed with old Meng ideologies.

Yao Huangdi had restored the Mengs, and Rusong will revive it and permanently seal it in history.

Your Qin Sect will become very popular and almost entitled, as their clan leader is the emperor of all fox spirits and cultivators.

Qin Su: That's amazing!

I'm happy for A-Song.

I knew he would do great things.

Fu xuan: As for A-qing. She would stand by his side.

However she would do things her own way.

Qin su: what do you mean??

Fu xuan: you are literal Qin sect royalty. As you're the daughter of a clan leader. It was easy for you to adapt to a lavish lifestyle, rules and ethics.

But Aqing had a different upbringing. She's less retrained.

She can pair up with Huangdi, who had a simple and almost dangerous childhood too~ despite being the emperor.

You're well polished, and would stay polished, Aqing is Rouge but, like you, she is destined to be a Huanghou, and Yao Huangdi grew up in a place spat upon by everyone, but that didn't take his imperial blood, history and birthright away from him. Wherever he is, he will always be our Huangdi.

Qin Su: remarkable. It's a really interesting insight. You're brilliant.

Fu xuan: it's all about nature vs nurture and destiny.

If you're truly destined, then your environment and experiences will mold you into the role you're set to have.

Qin su: I can listen to you all day.

You should definitely meet Huangdi, and Lord Shen. He's another intelligent individual.

Fu xuan: that would be a pleasure.

Shen Qingqiu was on my mind for a while. He's quite fierce, and knows what he wants.

I never new there would be someone who can challenge team dimple.

Qin su: *laughing* I know right.

It's hilarious and he's so savage.

Fu xuan: he'll forever stand by the emperor.  

Qin Su: lovely.

Fu Xuan: are you aware that he has a crush on you too. But he's quite sophisticated, so there's nothing to worry about.

He knows that you're the empress and you should be respected as such.

Qin Su: aha I know. He's a darling.

Fu xuan: he rather worship you instead of make advances.

Qin Su: so sweet and quite respectful.

And my heart is only for Yao Huangdi.

Fu xuan: As you should. You loved him even before he got back his glory. You both are each other's strength.

Shen Qingqiu had gifted the Mengs and especially Taizi with such a gift.

Qin Su: Ning Yingying? Oh yes. She's such a talented and refined young woman. I'm very fond of her, and she's perfect for A-Song.

Fu xuan: I can tell. But try not to favour one over the other.

Your nature will pull you towards Ning Yingying more.

Qin Su: mn. But it all depends on A-Song

Fu xuan: correct.

Anyways Ouyang Zizhen is fine. He's a young clan leader, destined for power and influence. These three are a close team, and should stay that way.

Qin Su: they should.

~~~

Next day, everyone in Jing Manor got their Jade abacus, and Yao Huangdi got his computer. This was were he broadcasted his very first digital message to all the Xianzhou ships:

"My dear people of the Xianzhou Luofu, and the Divination Commission, I'm quite impressed by your advanced technology. Your Huangdi was always aware of your creativity and your foresight. I commend you on expanding your special intelligence to the civilians, so that they can communicate and store information. I heard that the Jade abacus is indestructible.

When I don't have the time to personally write or record, I'll have my PR, Shen Yuan or Su Xiandu write emails.

This should be introduced to the Jianghu in the near future. Thank you very much for your contribution.

                                    your beloved Yao Huang. "

Then he goes on to sending a message to his hulijings who aren't apart of the Xianzhou Alliance, as well as the clans.

Hoping that he spreads the technology to everyone.

hi! sorry if you've already answered that but, i saw your good omens (the unstoppable bastard/immovable dumbass one) and i really loved it, i found it so artistically and aesthetically beautiful. frankly i am in awe with it and i was wondering if you'd be willing to share some tutorials on the effects you used for the gifset (like the puzzle piece and heart for example)? do you maybe already have a tutorial tag that i could go through? thank you so much!

hi! first of all, thank you!

to do a similar effect like i did in this post or something like the transition in the last gif of this lovely edit firstly you will need to either find (on stock sites) or make yourself (from a youtube video or using shapes in photoshop) a gif that has a simple shape and a transparent background.

a little tutorial under the cut (assuming you know the basics of gifmaking) (this may not be the best/most efficient way to do it but it's the way i'm used to).

for example, i made the heart gif using photoshop's custom shape tool, repeatedly pasting it on different layers, resizing so it would look like a beating heart and making frames from it (you could probably find something better on the internet):

the puzle was something i found on some stock, deleted the frames i didn't need, removed white background and painted with black brush (not really necessary since we'll be dealing with shapes, just easier to work with) so i got this:

i made the rest of the small gifs in the same way: floating cloud moving the base photoshop cloud shape up and down, moving the strip (also found in the custom shape tool) like in this youtube tutorial and manually rotating the shape of a star shape i found on some stock.

now that you have you desired shape gif, select all the frames and make sure they have the same delay time:

press convert to the video timeline:

select all the layers:

filter > convert to smart filters:

upload the exact same amount of frames for your scene gif (i'm using 45 frames here), resize, set delay time exactly the same as you did for your shape gif (i set 0,05 but it doesn't really matter, they just need to match) & convert frames to smart filters as you did for the shape gif. this is where i usually do my sharpening (not on the sceenshot because i reused another gif, but that's not relevant here).

now put the shape gif on top of the scene gif, resize it and position it to your liking (i switched the colors for better visibility):

your timeline shoud look like this & the duration of both sets should match because you used the same amount of frames and set the same time delay:

the gif currently looks like this:

after you're more or less satisfied with the position of the shape gif (you can change the opacity back and forth to figure it out), put the shape gif under the scene gif:

right click on the scene gif > create clipping mask. now you have this:

color it to your liking:

optionally. to make a border like i did make 2 copies of the shape gif and put them on top of the colored gif:

change blending mode for both: multiply if your shape gif is white, screen if your shape gif is black. set layer style for the first one:

and for the second one:

(use any color you want and/or skip inner glow alltogether).

currently we're still in video timeline and our gif looks like this:

time to put it on top of a bigger gif. click here:

convert frames > flatten frames into clips. now convert to frame animation:

delete the frame that has the least amount of delay (0,07 in this case):

make frames from layers (in the timeline menu on the right) and you get a variety number of junk frames before the actual gif starts that you also need to delete (i have 28 in this case):

make sure there's no junk after the gif, set your delay time and delete unnecessary layers if you want (or not, it doesn't really matter):

select all the remaining layers and group them (easier to work with later):

now select all the frames, go to the timelines menu > copy frames. open the gif you want to paste them on top of, select all of its frames, go to the timeline menu > paste frames > paste over selection > ok.

postion it how you want to and that's finally it.
