MiracOlympus- Luka

🎶Feel the beat and just let go, get the rhythm into your soul!🎶 @imsparky2002 @booksrbetterthanpeople @nerdy-chocomallow

Luka, God of Music & Prophecy (aka Apollo)

Appearance/Attire: Upper back-length, shaggy black hair, tied in a braid, turquoise eyes with flecks of green, blue, and gold, moderate tanned skin, teal snake tattoo that goes up right arm, lean and athletic build. Wreath of laurel leaves and thistle on his head, golden wrist cuffs with silver music notes, teal one-shoulder toga with golden music staves stitched along the hems, silver snake belt, golden sandals. Usually carrying his golden, seven-stringed lyre.

Bio: If there’s one god that helps keep Olympus in harmony and feeling the rhythm, it’s Luka. The god of music is a huge proponent of resolving conflicts peacefully and always does his best to help maintain the groovy vibes between his fellow gods. Luka’s skill in the musical arts are praised by both mortals and immortals alike, with his skills on the lyre rivaled by none. It’s this that gives him such a close friendship with the muses. He also deeply cares for both his twin sister Juleka and his mother Anarka, with disrespecting them being one of the few ways to anger him. Luka’s most incredible gift besides his musical talent is that of his power of prophecy. He can see into the future (to an extent) and it’s for this reason that the other gods often look to him for guidance and advice. He’s usually pretty good with this, but he’s not quite as smooth when it comes to his crush on the war goddess.

Fun Facts!

Luka may not like to fight, but he will when he has to. When Python, a massive monster of a snake, was plaguing the lands of Mount Parnassus, the music-loving people of which Luka was rather found of, he took matters into his own hands. He first attempted to peacefully convince the snake to leave, but when Python refused and attacked him, he took the snake down with a perfectly aimed golden arrow to the forehead. The people wanted to build a temple in his honor, which gave him an idea…

When the people of Parnassus had built him a humble but beautiful temple on the mountain’s slope, Luka decided to put his gift of clairvoyance to good use. He made the temple the host of his Oracle, the voice through which he would speak his visions of the future to mortals. After much deliberation, he chose the nymph Diane as his Oracle, sharing his visions and prophecies with her through psychic connection. People would come from all over the ancient world to hear of their futures.

Everyone knows that Luka’s music skills are unrivaled, with only the Muses able to square up to him in that regard. So when foolish satyr named Marsyas said that he could outplay the god of music on his flute, the immortals’ code of honor said Luka couldn’t take that lying down. It was decided there would be a contest between the two, with the Muses and Marsyas’ friend, King Midas (you’ll hear more about him when Nino comes around!) presiding as judges. The Muses, obviously, picked Luka’s far superior lyre performance, but Midas stubbornly voted for Marsyas. The muses were affronted by this, and it was Jean who commented that the king “must have the ears of an ass to think something so stupid!” Luka, having a sense of humor and knowing he needed to set an example, gave Midas the ears of a donkey to teach him a lesson! Not the worst punishment he could have gotten, by a long shot, but one he surely wouldn’t forget!

HE CAN SEE THE FU-TUURE. Leave your thoughts in the comments and reblogs.

Ugh, again I doubt Tumblr is going to die anytime soon. (I've been through a lot of "Twitter is gonna die for real" eras including the time it was fully banned in my country and it's still (unfortunately) up, and if that can survive its current management Tumblr can do it too.) (I've lived through a few "Tumblr is gonna die" events too)

But if it does die I don't wanna lose my boys over flowers analysis/translation posts. I don't care if I lose most of my other posts bc they are gif/art reblogs, and the art on my art blog is saved in my computer so I can just start over somewhere else.

But these posts... I have no idea how to save them with the images and all. I don't wanna install python just for that.

The best idea would be to create a blog on another website for them but Tumblr is like one of the last few blogging websites standing and I don't wanna go to dreamwidth (its image hosting barely exists and same for its userbase)

How to back up your Tumblr blog

Not sure if all of you heard the news, but Wordpress laid off 16% of its staff, which happened to include senior tumblr staff like cyle. According to 3liza, the amount of staff running tumblr is about 25.

Welp. Will Tumblr finally die? I don't know. It's pretty likely, since this site costs millions to run and to host all this content, but I'll stay till the end. But I backed up my blog, with the help of a post that can't be reblogged rn.

you can reblog this one though.

Quoth butchlinkle: "In your blog settings you have the ability to initiate a blog export, and this will generate a backup for your blog.

Fair warning though, if you’ve been on the platform for a long time this archive is likely to be quite hefty in file size. This blog I have had for 5 years with 22k posts, and the export from tumblr came to be 48GB. My previous blog I made in 2011 and has 95k posts, so needless to say I did not use tumblr’s built in export to back that one up.

If you want more control over exactly what you back up from your blog, I recommend that you use tumblr-utils instead. It allows you to backup specific tags, post types, and to ignore posts that you did not create (reblogs where you’ve added a comment count unfortunately do not count unless you use the older version of the script made with python 2.7).

To use it:

download and install python

create an application on tumblr to get an api key

create a folder where you would like to save your backups and right click to open it in the terminal/command prompt, or type cmd.exe in the address bar from inside that folder

Backing up just my original posts from this blog with this command came to 632MB rather than 48GB, and also gave me the option to save my posts in JSON format which will be useful for converting my posts to a new format for self hosting.

On that note I’m currently looking into figuring out a simple (and ideally free) way of self hosting a static site blog that utilises activitypub, and also converting my old posts to re-host on said blog.

This post series by maho.dev on implementing activitypub with any static site is my primary source of guidance atm if you also want to try figure that out yourself, as well as having an explanation for why you’d even want to do this if you don’t already know

but if tumblr goes down before I get things sorted and write up a post about it then i’ll be reporting back on it via my bsky, mastodon, and toyhouse accounts

if you dont have an account on any of these I’ll also be sharing an update via my personal site’s RSS feed, link of which includes an explanation of what RSS is and some feed readers you can use, I highly recommend checking it out as getting a feed reader is going to be the best way you can stay connected with people if they scatter across the internet!

tldr: download tumblr-utils to backup your blog more efficiently, introduce yourself to RSS and get a feed reader to stay connected with people, consider saving mine so you can find out how to self host your blog later if tumblr goes down."

here's a guide from the notes: https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1yBWlk-yEgpSoEh3c9oLhz_kbLtUGqbqzOpCtJsvQgjI/mobilebasic?pli=1#h.u9vj7pezwpcy

Back up those blogs. This was way faster than trying to use Webarchive, and webarchive seems to be only good for saving text, audio, and video, because it saved none of the images. And remember: I did not write this guide, and I do not know a thing about coding or fixing bugs.

Director Novvkim 💙💙💙

Director Novv posted about his visit to the Arirang Radio two weeks ago and it's honestly such a lovely listen with partial translation provided by the host (Peter)

He mentions his most recent project being Bang Chan's "Railway" MV and lists his personal faves and I was SO SO happy to see ALEPH "Schadenfreude" the on the list cuz when I first got into checking out more of Director Novv's works I happen to be just in time for this MV to be published and the way I BAWLED MY EYES OUT while on the way home, truly stunning piece of film and storytelling.

The other two he listed were "Red Lights" and Chung Ha's "I'm Ready" performance video

And I WILL be biased here but it's honestly really my top 3 of his projects, maybe a strong contestant is GOT7 "PYTHON" MV cuz 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 a work of art.

"I'm Ready" is a personally sentimental piece because it was my first comeback of her for me and throughout the promotion and content released and later when listening to her discography, I could understand how important this was to her and how much happiness it brought her. I'm currently really stoked about her upcoming project ♥️

"Red Lights" being on the list was maybe not an obvious choice, but it makes sense once you remember the MV was listed on The Rolling Stones List of The Best MVs of 2021. A B-SIDE MV. It was incredible and Novv-nim posted about it on IG being surprised as well 💙

Overall, the close bond between Director Novvkim and SKZ is something I cherish a lot, as well as his and artists he works with. He's such a warm person despite his (apparently) cold outside. Also his dedication to keep the deep blue hair is admirable AF

Really looking forward to his work this year 💙

Twst characters and the strangest thing that’s happened to them

HEARTSLABYUL

Riddle: once a student asked him to help them hide some contraband. They didn’t realize riddle was the house warden, or.. you know.. Riddle. Riddle played along for a sec to see what they were hiding, and found they were keeping a fiFTEEN FOOT PYTHON IN THEIR ROOM WITHOUT TELLING THEIR ROOMATES

Trey: once Riddle’s mom asked for a custom cake for a bachelorette party she was hosting. Trey wasn’t sure if she knew who he was, but he wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry

Cater: his sisters trapped him in a box for a few hours and when he got out something was on fire. To this day he doesn’t know what happened

Duce/Ace: they were both going to sneak into MC/Yuu’s dorm for a surprise visit, and saw them throwing something at a mirror and going “LEAVE ME ALONE YOU CREEPY RAT 😭😭😭”. Then they decided to quietly leave

((The “creepy rat” was Mikey mouse /info))

SAVANACLAW

Leona: one time he fell asleep in his bed, but somehow woke up in pomefiore. He has no idea what happened, but he assumes rook has something to do with it. Rook has never confirmed nor denied this

Jack: one time using his signature spell, an influencer™️ went up and tried to take a picture with him. A wolf. He turned back and immediately scolded/yelled at them for being so stupid

Ruggie: he works multiple retail jobs. He’s seen a lot of weird stuff. Once he saw the entirety of scarabia flood a McDonaldDucks wearing banana suits

OCTAVINELLE

Azul/Jade: someone did something disgusting in the sink of the lounge every Monday for two months

Floyd: that time he was used to make face cream

SCARABIA

Jamil: Kalim. But seriously, one time he found someone selling merch of Kalim, and even found a keychain of HIMSELF

Kalim: once Jamil left for a day and Kalim got the entire Scarabia dorm to dress in banana costumes and go to the Spelldrive game and raid random places. It was the best day of his life

POMEFIORE

Vil: he once found fanfic of him and neige and exploded

Epel: once ate one of those “bubble gum flavored” apples by accident and basically fell out of his seat ((trey pranked him))

Rook: neige liked one of his fanfics he wrote about him

IGNIHYDE

Idia: once ortho sent him some WILD fanart of star rogue and went “oops, wrong person 😇”. Idia never got an explanation

DIASOMNIA

Malleus: when scarabia had the banana incident™️ he accidentally wandered in, and was passed a suit. He was so excited to be invited to something he just put it on and didn’t question things

Lilia: he made one of the first memes and no one knows it’s him. He’s like Neil Cicierega of the twst world

Silver: woke up to a “sleeping contest” he was apparently having with Leona by accident. There were people cheering for them and banners set up

Sebek: one time saw yuu call Malleus “babygorl” and malleus didn’t comment??? Is that normal for them??? (Yes)

what’s your preferred way of storing / having access to all of your favorite music nowadays? streaming is getting really bad these days, wondering what your personal opinion is

i don't use streaming services like spotify and try not to meddle in that sphere because i find it venomous and hedonistic, if anything for the extreme consumption of resources necessary to sustain it, but that applies to the internet at large. there's no reason for me to use it when i have better means at my disposal and it fails to host most of my favorite music, the energy is just not there/in any inculcated dependency on corporate entities. is it getting bad by its distribution of royalties, management of intellectual property legalities, or some other domain? personally i store the digital copies of music i value on external hard drives, and to that i would recommend toshiba products. i find youtube to be useful for fetching audio through the python fork of youtube downloader and converting formats with ffmpeg, it's best if the videos allow for timestamped track splitting so you don't have to manually do this in audacity. unfortunately it's impossible to bypass the sacrifice of audio quality required to upload anything to youtube. if you record transfers of your own physical media, it might help to share your files with friends to decrease the chances they might be lost in the case that any of your drives die.

Does anyone remembers, if you are Ukrainians who were born in the 1990s, one of the Ukrainian comedy TV programs/shows/series like the “Monty Python-like” Dovhonosyky Show or The Long-Noses Show (Ukrainian: Шоу Довгоносиків) that you ever saw on TV in your childhood or something or not? For me, as I only saw the first time on YouTube with some archived episodes on video or clips about it (but I didn't watch enough of them, despite my hesitations, though), but it is, to say the least, so awful and weird asf and not so great at all, because of such things as the political situation, absurdist/sketch/bad/offensive jokes, psychological struggles/fights, mess arrangements, totally stupidity, etc., which doesn’t make me any sense at all because of this, but despite the fact that it was one of the more or less best Ukrainian comedy TV programs/shows/series in Ukrainian history, ig. After all, somewhere in the late or middle summer, when a new idea came in, which is let me better to work on drawing out a lot of conceptual sketch doodles of each characters (such as the Host, the Soundman and the Bartender in this pic) from their TV show-series into my own version, hence they were a human-like aliens called Longonosians instead of caricatured people with long or big noses in the original. And eventually, I literally made my new (maybe fan or not) project called "The Long-Nosed Out" (since this title is dialogically combined between "Long-Nose" and "Spaced-Out) which is tribute to the genres of sci-fi and action-comedy (but for now, it will only allow viewing for adults under 18+), but still, it should be without absurdism with bad/sketch/offensive jokes, psychological frenzy as a fight between one, Russifications (more precisely, Russian-speaking), mess arrangements, etc., however, I hope, it will be completely better than its original predecessor.

And I hope you like it and even my version of this humorous TV show either.

Art, Ourailey (a rat-like alien creature on the top side), Pouley (a bird-like alien creature which was loosely inspired by the bird from the same original TV show) and the “Long-Nosed Out” project are belongs to me (C)

The Host (Iva; in my version), the Soundman (“Ball-Head” Andy; my version) and the Bartender (Wul; my version) from the Dovhonosyky Show or The Long-Noses Show (Ukrainian: Шоу Довгоносиків) are belongs to PRO-TV (Ukrainian: ПРО-ТВ)/Viktor Prykhodko (Author and director of this show) (C)

Why Every Student Should Participate in a Hackathon

In today’s fast-paced digital world, the ability to solve problems creatively is just as important as technical skills. This is where a hackathon shines. Whether you're a developer, designer, or business-minded thinker, a hackathon gives you a unique platform to showcase your talent, build new skills, and contribute to innovative projects—often in just 48 hours.

If you're a student, participating in a hackathon might just be the smartest decision you can make for your personal and professional growth.

What is a Hackathon?

A hackathon is a collaborative event where teams work together intensively over a short period—usually one to three days—to build a project from scratch. While coding is a central part, modern hackathons welcome all kinds of talents: UI/UX designers, content creators, marketers, and product thinkers.

Hackathons often come with themes—like sustainability, mental health, AI, fintech, or social impact—which help guide participants to build projects around real-world challenges.

The Student Advantage: Why Join a Hackathon?

If you’re still in college or university, here are a few solid reasons to sign up for your first hackathon:

1. Learn by Doing

A hackathon is one of the best places to learn hands-on. You’ll get to apply classroom theories to real-world projects, often learning more in one weekend than in an entire semester. You’ll also pick up new tools, technologies, and frameworks on the go.

2. Build Your Resume and Portfolio

Participation in a hackathon instantly boosts your resume. Employers love to see initiative, teamwork, and problem-solving skills—all of which are demonstrated by joining a hackathon. If you create something impactful, it could even become a long-term project or startup idea.

3. Network with Industry Experts

Many hackathons feature mentors from top companies and industries. This is your chance to ask questions, get feedback, and even connect with potential recruiters. Some companies even hire interns or offer job interviews during or after the event.

4. Win Prizes and Scholarships

While not the main goal, many hackathons offer cash prizes, internships, tech gadgets, and free software licenses. Some also provide travel scholarships or job offers to outstanding teams.

5. Collaborate and Build Friendships

You’ll work closely with peers from different departments or even universities. Hackathons foster a spirit of teamwork and trust—and you may just walk away with lifelong friends or co-founders.

How to Prepare for Your First Hackathon

Pick your tools early: Whether it's Python, React, Figma, or Firebase, be comfortable with at least one or two tools.

Form a balanced team: Find people with different strengths—developers, designers, and storytellers.

Have a problem-first mindset: Instead of jumping into building, understand the user and the issue deeply.

Practice your pitch: Your idea might be amazing, but if you can’t explain it well in 2-3 minutes, judges may miss its value.

Stay open-minded: Hackathons are chaotic and dynamic. Be ready to learn, adapt, and pivot.

Choosing the Right Hackathon as a Student

There are thousands of hackathons held worldwide every year—on campuses, online, or hosted by organizations. Look for events that welcome beginners and provide mentorship. Sites like Devpost, MLH (Major League Hacking), HackerEarth, and local student communities are great places to start.

Also consider themed hackathons like:

Education hackathons for building student-focused tools

Green tech hackathons for solving climate problems

AI hackathons for machine learning enthusiasts

Conclusion

A hackathon is more than just an event—it’s an experience. It pushes your limits, grows your skills, and opens up new opportunities. As a student, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. So step out of the classroom and into the hackathon arena. You might just discover your next passion, your dream job, or the idea that changes the world.

People be wilding from other dimensions and galaxies 🤣🤣 "Adam has never been in a comedy!" after the recent news he's a pick for an upcoming Hangover-esque film. What? Comedy is his genre. His audience is not 10 year old boys in 30 year old bodies sharing one brain cell as Hollywood prefers. Who do they think has hosted SNL multiple times? Annette, Don Quixote, What If, and Dead Don't Die were written specifically as comedies, and entire theaters couldn't stop laughing at his lines in Blackkklansman. The bigger comedy is not understanding his trade.

Hi! I haven’t really seen or paid attention to any discourse floating around, but I agree people have to be pretty sheltered to think he’s new to comedy 🤣

I didn’t personally like any of his comedy movies much, but that’s not due to any fault of his. I liked Logan Lucky, What If, and This is Where I Leave You best out of them. I thought with Don Quixote that he needs something with some more physical comedy because he was great at it there. I’d love to see him do some Monty Python sort of bs like the Ministry of Silly Walks. And lots of anger and rage in a comedic setting like he did in Girls and on SNL. He’s great at that and being deadpan.

I also agree with him bringing some great subtle comedy to Blackkklansman and also Last Duel. I would love spinoffs just of of Flip and Ron being detectives, and Jacques and Pierre being whoring shitheads.

The Hangover is one of my favorite contemporary comedies, so I hope the hype about this is true and that it’s actually funny! This or something like a dark comedy like Gross Pointe Blank would be my top choices for a comedy role for him. And as always with this fucker, I hope he’s good looking in it 🤣 I’d think with all the upcoming movies he has, he almost has to be hot in at least one of them. I really hope he has the Strings look in something so I can watch it on loop endlessly. I’m also happy we’ll get him and Scarlett together again, in hopefully something more intriguing than marriage drama.

He has some projects coming up that sound really good to me for once. This is the first lineup I’ve been excited about since we had Last Duel and 65 coming out. I always have to moderate by excitement until I see what he decides to look like in them though 🤣, but story-wise several of them sound good to me. The Hangover thing, Paper Tiger, Carnival at the End of Days, and the Dealer series all sound like things I could really like if they’re done well. I especially hope he’s a violent badass in Paper Tiger. Father, Mother, Sister, Brother sounds terrible to me and I’m not very excited about Heat 2, but I will change my tune if he looks good in them 🤣

“It’s not as if Jarvis cracked Michael Jackson on the head with a baseball bat, which is what I woulda done.” Oasis had a lot of fun annoying everyone at the 1996 Brit Awards

The 1996 Brit Awards was Oasis' night, even if Pulp's Jarvis Cocker versus Michael Jackson became the front page story | by Paul Brannigan | 11th July 2024

Naturally, Oasis had a ball at the ceremony, which took place at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in west London. They drank lots, swore more, swaggered around as if they owned the place, and insulted just about everyone in attendance.

Picking up the Best Video award, Noel Gallagher looked down at the audience and said, "I'm extremely rich, and you lot aren't", before labelling INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, who presented the award, a "has-been." Then, when picking up their British Album Of The Year award, the Gallagher brothers celebrated by bursting into an impromptu version of Blur's Parklife re-titled 'Shite Life', before Liam called host Chris Evans "ginger bollocks" and pretended to shove the award up his own arse. 

Asked by Musician magazine later that year if they "took any heat" for their antics on the night, Noel Gallagher replied, "The music press thought we were great, but the national newspapers said we were a disgrace to our country. Which is fine by me, because our country is a disgrace to us."

To be fair, after the awards, the national newspaper were actually more concerned about Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker invading the stage during Michael Jackson's performance of Earth Song, which he found "extremely distasteful and crap". By way of protest, Cocker pretended, Monty Python-style, to fart in Jackson's general direction, an action which led to him being questioned by police for two hours after the ceremony. “He’s Off His Cocker” a headline in The Sun exclaimed. "Jarvis is a star!" Noel Gallagher told Musician. "People thought it was so shocking. It’s not as if he cracked [Jackson] on the head with a baseball bat - which is what I woulda done if I’d gone up there."

Friendsgiving (E.M.)

Sequel to "Thanksgiving"

This version of Friendsgiving is based on my college days. In 1999, during my first year in college, my friends and I had "Poor Students Thanksgiving." About 7 of my friends arrived at my house the day after Thanksgiving with all their leftovers. We pigged on food and watched "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and "Meet the Feebles." We did that for a couple of years, and I loved how it grew every year. These gatherings are, to this day, some of my favorite memories from my early twenties.

(p.s. I'm immediately going to write filth after this because balance. Specifically, it's about how Eddie's cums too much in you.)

WARNINGS: fluff, casual intimacy, implied sexy times (sexual talk because I can't write just plain fluff anymore, it's gotta be dirty.)

"Bye everyone, see you boys for Hellfire next weekend!"

Eddie smiled as he listened to you usher the last of your guests out of your home. Since Steve hosted last year, the two of you offered to host Friendsgiving this year.

Your first guest arrived at noon. Dustin came with his mom's beef stroganoff, smiling as he and Eddie greeted each other. Eddie was planning to do a quick dungeon for the boys, and you had heard the two laughing and teasing as they prepared for the group while you put the pies in the oven.

The dinner had been a smashing success. Everyone feasted like kings and queens before moving to the living room. While Eddie and the kids did their dungeon crawl, you caught up with Steve, Nancy, and Robin while eating pie.

You closed the night out with movies, Monty Python and Elm Street, before everyone clambered into cars and returned to their homes. The weather was frigid, leaving no doubt that snow would be coming soon.

"Great evening, huh, babe?" Eddie asks as he joins you in the living room to help you clean up.

"It was perfect. It's always nice when we can all get together."

"Listen, I want to talk to you about something."

"Look, if it's about the other night, it's normal to sometimes finish faster than usual. So you had a hair-trigger night; I was flattered and still had a good time." You glance back at Eddie, who looks confused, cow eyes wide with shock. Whoops.

"Uh, not at all what I was gonna say, but we will circle back. It's about Thanksgiving." Eddie approaches, and he takes your hands when he stands before you. He runs his thumbs over the backs of your hands, brow furrowed as he thinks about what he will say.

"Hey," you tell him quietly. You can't help smiling when his gaze meets yours. "You're scaring me here."

"It's good, I promise. It's just that Thanksgiving is when you're supposed to tell the people in your life that you're thankful for them, and I need you to know that I am. You make my life so much better by just being here. You're the best thing to ever happen to me, and I'm thankful that I get to call you mine every day, and I'm sorry I don't say it more."

"Oh, Eds," you say before leaning up and kissing him softly on his plush lips. Eddie responds by cupping your face and tilting your head so he can savor you more. When he pulls away, he leans to rest his forehead against yours.

"Love you, Princess."

"Love you too, babe. But you show me every day you care even if you don't say anything."

"What do you mean?"

"You show me all the time. You show me by filling my tank when you notice I'm low. Or how you get up super early to warm my car before work. You have dinner ready on the nights I come home late. You picked up the newest book by Stephen King for me when I was stuck at work!" Eddie chuckles as he pulls you into a hug.

"Of course I do that; I want my girl safe and happy."

"And I am. I'm thankful for you, too, and I hope we get many more holidays together." You kiss him again and then return to cleaning the living room and kitchen.

When Eddie returns from taking out the trash (and probably leaving leftovers for the raccoons), he finds you putting the last dishes on the drying rack.

"Hey Princess, is that everything?"

"Yes, sir, our castle is now more or less back to normal."

"Good." You shriek when he comes barrelling at you, and with a strength you sometimes forget he possesses, hauls you over his shoulder and starts walking down the hallway.

"Eddie, you're gonna drop me!" His response is a quick slap to your butt, which causes you to let out a whimper which is music to his ears.

"I'm about to show you how thankful I am for you, doll. I also need to make up for the other night. Can't have you thinking I'm some two-pump chump." He drops you onto your bed and immediately begins undressing. You feel your heart catch in your throat as he climbs on the bed and crawls to you, pressing you back until he's hovering over you.

"Eddie, I said it was ok."

"Nah," he says with that panty-dropping smirk. "Ok isn't good enough. In honor of the holidays, I believe I'll start by spending the next 20 minutes or so feasting on my favorite piece of pie."

"20 minutes!" you say with a start as Eddie's hands begin pulling down your skirt along with your panties.

"And that's just to start. Don't worry though, if you're a good girl for me, I'll give you your own cream pie at the end of the night. More than one if you're really good."

"Whatever you say, Eds."

You can use a wide context window to consider the details of your local codebase and ongoing development session, allowing you to generate or transform code that is better appropriate for your application.

With code customization, Code Assist Enterprise not only comprehends your local codebase but also provides code recommendations based on internal libraries and best practices within your company. As a result, Code Assist can produce personalized code recommendations that are more precise and pertinent to your company. In addition to finishing difficult activities like updating the Java version across a whole repository, developers can remain in the flow state for longer and provide more insights directly to their IDEs. Because of this, developers can concentrate on coming up with original solutions to problems, which increases job satisfaction and gives them a competitive advantage. You can also come to market more quickly.

GitLab.com and GitHub.com repos can be indexed by Gemini Code Assist Enterprise code customisation; support for self-hosted, on-premise repos and other source control systems will be added in early 2025.

Yet IDEs are not the only tool used to construct apps. It integrates coding support into all of Google Cloud’s services to help specialist coders become more adaptable builders. The time required to transition to new technologies is significantly decreased by a code assistant, which also integrates the subtleties of an organization’s coding standards into its recommendations. Therefore, the faster your builders can create and deliver applications, the more services it impacts. To meet developers where they are, Code Assist Enterprise provides coding assistance in Firebase, Databases, BigQuery, Colab Enterprise, Apigee, and Application Integration. Furthermore, each Gemini Code Assist Enterprise user can access these products’ features; they are not separate purchases.

Gemini Code Support BigQuery enterprise users can benefit from SQL and Python code support. With the creation of pre-validated, ready-to-run queries (data insights) and a natural language-based interface for data exploration, curation, wrangling, analysis, and visualization (data canvas), they can enhance their data journeys beyond editor-based code assistance and speed up their analytics workflows.

Furthermore, Code Assist Enterprise does not use the proprietary data from your firm to train the Gemini model, since security and privacy are of utmost importance to any business. Source code that is kept separate from each customer’s organization and kept for usage in code customization is kept in a Google Cloud-managed project. Clients are in complete control of which source repositories to utilize for customization, and they can delete all data at any moment.

Your company and data are safeguarded by Google Cloud’s dedication to enterprise preparedness, data governance, and security. This is demonstrated by projects like software supply chain security, Mandiant research, and purpose-built infrastructure, as well as by generative AI indemnification.

Google Cloud provides you with the greatest tools for AI coding support so that your engineers may work happily and effectively. The market is also paying attention. Because of its ability to execute and completeness of vision, Google Cloud has been ranked as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI Code Assistants for 2024.

Gemini Code Assist Enterprise Costs

In general, Gemini Code Assist Enterprise costs $45 per month per user; however, a one-year membership that ends on March 31, 2025, will only cost $19 per month per user.

Lumberjack Day

Dress up as a lumberjack, eat a hearty meal, and honor the venerable, crucial, and often dangerous profession of lumberjacking with a thanks to lumberjacks.

“Oh, I’m a lumberjack and I’m okay….” Monty Python famously sang this ridiculously silly Lumberjack Song, and singing a rendition of this would certainly be appropriate as part of the celebration of Lumberjack Day!

History of Lumberjack Day

Lumberjacks have been an interesting part of human history for many years, felling trees for use in building houses and structures as well as for making paper and other helpful uses. And while this profession was certainly around long before, the specific term “lumberjack” actually comes from Canada where it can be traced back to a letter written in the year 1831. Other terms, such as “wood cutter” or the more modern “logger” are also appropriate for the people who do this type of work.

The history of Lumberjack Day can be traced back to the mid-2000s when Marianne Ways and Colleen AF Venable decided it was time to honor this esteemed profession. Venable herself worked as a lumberjack at one point, although she has admitted that the original idea for the day was conceived as an excuse to go out and eat pancakes and waffles with friends!

Lumberjack Day has caught on in more recent years and is now celebrated by many folks, especially in Canada and the United States.

How to Celebrate Lumberjack Day

Have a load of fun and celebrate the ruggedness of this profession on Lumberjack Day! Check out some of these ideas for making plans and observing the day:

Dress Like a Lumberjack

One delightful and simple way to get on board with celebrating National Lumberjack Day might be to take a page out of their fashion book. Dress for the outdoors and chopping down trees by donning some jeans or work pants and a pair of sturdy boots, then top them off with a perfect plaid flannel shirt. Even more fun, add a fake beard and a beanie cap for the perfect look. In certain workplaces, carrying a real axe might be going a bit too far, but a fake one from a costume shop might be kind of fun!

Go Out for Pancakes and Waffles

Since the motivation of the original founder of Lumberjack Day was to go out with friends to eat mountainous piles of pancakes and waffles, it seems like the right way to celebrate this day even now. Head on over to a favorite breakfast-all-day restaurant and enjoy a stack or two with yummy Canadian maple syrup!

Host a Lumberjack Day Party

Anyone who wants to join in on the fun of Lumberjack Day can organize a party for friends and family where the idea is for everyone to dress up in the cliché lumberjack style of plaid shirts, boots, suspenders, and beards. Provide snacks and treats with a wood cutter theme, such as pretzels (that resemble cut wood), fresh broccoli stems (that look like little trees), and cheese puffs (or campfire flames). Don’t forget to dress the table in a red plaid flannel tablecloth!

For entertainment, the group can certainly watch some Monty Python episodes, particularly the ninth episode of the BBC show, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, which features The Lumberjack Song. Other ideas for how to enjoy a party for the day might be to do a little online research and learn about lumberjack jargon, jokes, drinks, and recipes.

Attend Some Lumberjack Day Festivities

Several different communities in the United States have events and even full weekends that celebrate the fun and festivities of the lumberjack. Lumberjack Day is the ideal time to make plans to visit one, or several, of these community events. From Orofino, Idaho to Stillwater, Minnesota, and all the way over to West Point, California, the celebration of lumberjacks is worth pursuing whether near or far.

Parades, contests, entertainment, live music, flower shows and so much more can be found in communities celebrating Lumberjack Days. And the best celebrations will, of course, include access to an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast!

Monty Python AU idea I have for some reason:

The Pythons (& Co) but they're flatmates in a British flatshare comedy...... probably set in modern day or something.

What do you personally think of this?

I adore it!

Graham- Quiet guy who just watches the chaos (delivers all of the best one liners)

John- Brings home a new woman every week, and likes to scream at people (the fans make edits of him)

Terry- The tortured bohemian who will not clear up, even if you pay him

Eric- Hosts parties every weekend and wakes up his roommates by serenading them outside their door

Jonesy- Also brings home a new woman every week but somehow remains friends with all of them. The mum friend of the group.

Michael- Tries to keep order but fails miserably. Likes to bitch about everyone else to the camera.

Alright, I wanna know more about that plant thingy (if i recall its a plant) you mentioned in the tags of the nsfw lore post! Also are you not doing emotes right now?

Hiya, sorry I won't be doing emote commissions anymore because emote commissions are extremely draining and unfulfilling. However, I can indeed talk about the plant.

Minors, do not interact with this post. You will be blocked.

The Vitis futuo, also referred to as the Loverbinds, are a sprawling, carnivorous mobile vine closely related to wild brambles. They spread seeds by implanting them inside creatures that pass by, which will then pass the seeds later and spread them to new locations. This is not without reward to their hosts, for the vine's sweet aphrodisiac nectar is full of nutrients.

No large host will ever come out of an encounter with Loverbinds with any significant harm, though smaller animals such as rabbits and hawks can be ensnared in the vines and dragged underground, where they will be digested by acidic juices secreted from the root system.

That isn't to say these aren't dangerous to people and large creatures like dragons though. While they will not go out of their way to harm a host, a Loverbind has enough coiling strength to be able to break bones and cut off airflow/blood circulation, even on a dragon.

In some cultures, such as faun and peacefur culture, Loverbinds go by other names such as daggervines or python vines due to the fact that they will always digest those smaller sophonts rather than using them as hosts. A common PSA taught to those fauns and peacefurs exploring the deep jungles and forests of the west is that if you're ever caught by one, don't struggle. Going limp is the best way to avoid getting eaten because the vines don't eat anything that doesn't move.

The seeds of the Loverbinds are rare and highly sought after by collectors, fetching a high fortune due to the vast utility of both the seeds and the vines- the vines themselves are fast-growing under partial shade and make for an excellent addition in soups and curries, the nectar is popular in high-brow perfumes and as an ingredient in substitute honey, and the seeds are delicious snacks when well-cooked.

Loverbind cultivation is an art in of itself, considering that these plants only flower in the spring and spread their seeds in the summer. All other times of the year, they prefer being truly carnivorous. Loverbinds prefer partial shade and warm weather, are pollinated only by a single species of hummingbird, and don't grow well in captivity even if the conditions are perfect.

While they can grow up to 30 meters in diameter in the wild, no captive Loverbind has ever surpassed 3 meters in size. Despite several centuries of attempted cultivation, it's still a mystery why these plants refuse to grow under human care.

Captive Loverbinds also flower and seed less, meaning their seeds and nectar are much rarer than the harvested vines and are often poached from the wild.

Loverbinds are threatened, near endangered, due to this poaching. Wildlife conservationists are lobbying for laws to be passed to prevent these special and unique plants from being harvested for parts.
