[t3mpest98]

CT- 6799 never understood why the other cadets seemed to hate the pods they slept in.

The others would always complain that it was too tight, too constricting for their ever growing limbs. That the darkness felt like it was suffocating them and the cold was freezing them from the inside out.

But that’s not how he saw it. That’s not how his twin saw it either if the odd looks they both gave the other cadets was anything to go by.

To him, his pod was one of the only places he truly felt safe. It hid him from the Kaminoans glaring eyes and the other cadet’s loud voices. There he could just exist without worrying that he was doing anything wrong or be yelled at to keep going. Even if he couldn’t get any sleep like the past couple of nights it would be better than this.

The trainers had yelled a lot today, more than usual. They seemed to get more strict as the days passed. The other cadets acted like it was a game or a race they were going to win no matter what. If you were to ask him he’d say it was a test. To see who would be cut out for leaving Kamino and…who wouldn’t.

Either way he was getting tired of it. He just wanted to go back to his pod, to go back to the dark shell that kept him safe. CT-6687 kept shooting him looks full of worry making him wonder if he was really that bad at hiding his discomfort.

“Stop it,” he whispered, trying to do everything he could to not draw any attention. Their current trainer was busy chewing out one of the more abrasive cadets who had switched their blaster off of stun and nearly shot another clone, so it was unlikely they would be caught deviating from their task. Even so, he doesn’t want to be the next one getting a lecture for being disobedient.

“Stop what?” 66 replied while turning back to the blaster he kept taking apart then putting back together. He did it so quickly Nines wondered if he even needed to train for it anymore.

“Looking at me like I’m about to fall apart,” Nines shot back. He wouldn’t, he was fine. He had to be or else he’d fail, then what would happen? He doesn’t want to leave and come back with that blank look in his eyes that the other cadets who got taken away now always had.

“I’m just worried. You’re still not sleeping well.”

“Are you?”

66 went quiet for a while after that and Nines almost felt bad. Both of them had trouble sleeping but 66 always seemed to struggle with it more. At least until recently. Nines wonders if 66 just figured out how to hide it better.

66 turned back around so he could look at Nines clearly, trying to see if he could find any clue as to what was going on.

“The same as usual. But not you. You’re getting worse.” 66 didn’t even try to pose it as a question, he just seemed to know.

“What’s going on?” 66 pushed as he slowly inched closer to Nines.

For a moment Nines thought about telling his ori’vod, he almost let the cracks in his walls crumble. The sharp voice of their trainer calling their group to attention snapped both of them back, everyone going stock still as they waited for their next orders, blasters held uniformly at their side.

Even though 66 was no longer looking at him, Nines knew this wasn’t over. For now though it could wait. If he had his way it could wait until he died. Or at the very least until he could get back to his pod.

——————

It wasn’t better.

He had been laying there for hours now, yet he couldn’t keep his eyes closed for more than a few minutes before turning around.

He was exhausted and his body ached from everything he’d done today. Or was it yesterday now? He wasn’t sure, he doesn’t want to know either. Knowing how much sleep he was losing might make things worse.

Less sleep meant a sloppy performance, it meant being singled out by his trainers. He had to do better than that.

Tonight he didn’t feel as safe in his pod as he usually did, the quiet air around him unnerving. The darkness wasn’t as calming, his skin felt like it was crawling and he was cold.

For a split second he considers going to 66’s tube. At least then he wouldn’t be alone. But if his brother was asleep then Nines would be angry at himself for waking 66. There was no reason anyone should get less rest just because of him.

The sound of someone moving around almost made him jump, the sudden noise striking through the silence surrounding him. His body went stiff as he tried with everything he had to pretend he was asleep.

The sounds stopped almost as soon as they started and he almost thought he was in the clear. Up until his pod came sliding out, exposing him to the outside. He was too tense now for anyone in their right mind to think he was asleep but he tried.

Instead of being scolded for still being awake like he expected, someone climbed into the pod with him, closing it quickly. Nines didn’t need to open his eyes to know who it was. 66 had already wrapped an arm around him by the time any small light disappeared.

66 pulled Nines as close as he could while directing Nines head underneath his own. Both of 66’s arms were now holding Nines protectively, the gentle pressure starting to bring Nines out of his head. He’s very glad they were both still small enough to fit inside one pod.

Nines didn't know he had started crying until he could feel 66’s shirt getting wet. Great, not only was he failing at getting himself under control but he was also crying all over his brother. Fantastic.

“I’m sorry,” Nines mumbled, ignoring the way his voice shook. 66 held on tighter and Nines squeezed his eyes shut. He did his best not to make another sound other than the occasional sniffle.

“It’s ok, I promise,” 66 whispered softly. “You’re ok. I’ve got you now, you’re safe.” Nines felt a hand carding through his hair, the tension inside him starting to bleed away. 66 said it with so much certainty that Nines didn’t even question it.

He knows he can’t keep relying on his ori’vod like this, not when one day 66 might not be there to help him. Just the thought made him shudder but he couldn’t ignore the possibility. A half broken sob escaped him and he struggled to keep it from escalating. What was wrong with him?

66 didn’t stop his comforting actions the whole time as he tried to make Nines feel as safe as possible. He’s glad it was happening now instead of during training, if any of the Kammies saw Nines could get in trouble. 66 would never let his vod’ika be taken away, not ever.

It took a while before Nines was able to stop crying, his head already starting to hurt. Now he just felt tired and weak.

“Shhh, it’s ok. Get some sleep, we’re supposed to get up earlier tomorrow,” 66 said with a slightly apologetic tone.

Nines made himself smaller at that, already dreading how he would feel later. Maybe he would get lucky and they were going over battle strategy or learning how to sneak into an enemy base.

Thinking was getting harder, every thought jumbling together. He was warm now and was once again finding comfort in the small confines of the pod. He still didn’t feel completely ok but at least he was safe now.

“No one will hurt you with me here. I’ll protect you. Promise.”

Nines didn’t doubt it for a second.

—————

He had promised.

He had promised.

Instead of sleeping like he knew he should be Spade paced rapidly in front of a table covered in caf cups and datapads. His heart was beating uncomfortably fast and his breathing had been erratic for way too long now.

Even if he could try to sleep it would be impossible.

“Where are you?” Spade hissed while running a hand through his greasy hair, reminding him yet again that he needed to go to the sonic. It could wait though. Noir could not.

Spade had broken the one promise he had ever made and he wished for nothing more than to go back to the small tubes, to the long nights where at least they had each other. The nights where they were safe in that small secluded spot.

The room he was in was small and poorly lit yet somehow there was too much space, it felt too open. Something was so obviously missing, the feeling of wrongness tainting everything around him.

He wanted to hold Noir tight while telling him everything would be alright again, to say that nothing would hurt him as long as Spade was there.

Spade wanted to find the smallest space available and make sure Noir got some sleep before the next day’s challenges. He wanted Noir to be safe in the comfort of a small dark space with Slade there to protect him.

But he wasn’t. Spade had lost him. Spade had failed.

Some ori’vod he was.

Hey all things have been wild and i havent been on a lot

I wanted to make this post to raise some awareness for the chronic illness Ive recently been diagnosed with, in the hopes that someone suffering something similar feels less alone.

Around Christmas i started getting very very sick. I would throw up 5-6hrs of the day, and it kept me from eating or sleeping at all. For four months straight i cycled between ER rooms and hospital admissions. Ive lost over 100lbs since Christmas due to a complete inability to keep any food or water down. After dozens of tests, I finally have been diagnosed with Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome.

Its a brutal disease. Essentially it’s a stress induced illness where the autonomic nervous system that controls the stomach becomes out of sync. When my body becomes too stressed, I start getting sick. And when I am out of the stress, my stomach and abdomen dont get the memo that we are okay now. It continues to have its own mini anxiety attack, contracting and twisting and forcing me to throw up everything I have inside, and keeps going after with dry heaving. This is called an abdominal migraine, and let me tell you, it is so much worse than it sounds. Once you are in an episode, it is difficult to get out of. Once the body is stressed, the sickness stresses it more, which makes me sicker. It is a vicious cycle.

I lost my job to this disease because I missed two full months. I collapsed at work and had to be rushed to the hospital. The worst part of this disease is that it is so uncommon most hospitals dont know how to treat it. Ive been labeled a drug seeker at every hospital within 10km of my home because of how frequently I had to go to the ER, severely dehydrated and in such pain I could barely stand. I started refusing strong pain meds in favour of antispasmodics instead. ER docs and nurses blamed cannabis and told me that was my sole issue. It wasnt, though it does exacerbate the illness. Ive since stopped smoking, even though it brought me some relief, just to be taken seriously.

I am one of the lucky ones who got diagnosed quickly. Most people take years to get a diagnosis, and I got mine within 4months, though it is only because of how severe my illness was.

I am finally getting proper treatment that gives me some quality of life. I have a new job that is very understanding of how many days Ive had to take off due to flare ups and episodes. Im doing well now, but for awhile, i truly thought this disease was going to take my life. I wrote a will. I picked out a grave plot.

This isnt a sympathy post. CVS is often misdiagnosed as chronic appendicitis or GERD. The odds of someone following me who also has this disease is high, and I want to make sure they dont feel as alone and unheard in this as I have.

There is no cure for CVS, you can only try to manage it and lengthen the time between episodes. The hardest part is everyone constantly saying “but youve been doing so well”. I may be doing well now, but tomorrow is not guaranteed, the next hour is not guaranteed. My episodes come quickly and with little warning, and triggers can only be found through trial and error. I still miss a lot of work, I still wake up in the night dry heaving. If i miss a single dose of medication, i relapse. It is a brutal road, and I have been fortunate that I have a supportive partner and friends who have walked it with me.

If this sounds like you, you are not alone. Find a doctor who will listen to you, and trust your instincts. Advocate for yourself, and accept nothing less. Once, when an ER refused to see me, despite the fact that I passed out on the threshold, I started just screaming. I absolutely screamed my head off as if i had been shot. That got their attention, and they said they would treat me just to shut me up. Make a scene. It sucks that that is what I had to resort to, but they finally agreed to do an ultrasound and CT scan. It started me on the path of getting a proper diagnosis. Advocate for yourself loudly and without reserve. And if you cant, find someone who can on your behalf. When i was flitting in and out of consciousness, my partner advocated for me, and refused to let them discharge me until they got the vomiting under control, even just for a day. Be loud, be annoying, do whatever it takes.

You are not alone.

QUICK YAP SESH: Location of Gravesfield from The Owl House

so uhm, while I am finishing the rest other art things I did decide at like 3 am to find the supposed "actual" location of Gravesfield. At least, what town would most likely be Gravesfield if it were real.

I used a lot of info from the wiki and that cool official Gravesfield Website Mock-Up that John Bailey Owen posted. (this thing in case no one knows what im talking about)

Anyways to get started, here's this poorly done thing i made in google draw lol, hopefully you can actually read some of it oof. Its color coded to the info below:

Firstly, I do find it interesting how Conneticut was actually the FIRST colony with a relatively large witch panic in the American colonies, happening 40 years before the infamous Salem Witch Trials.

To start off I think the most poorly backed-up possibility is Hamden.

The reason im suggesting Hamden is because it is Dana's hometown and she said she has taken a lot of major inspiration from it. Like churches and graveyards.

However, the reason I'm not drawn to it is because not only was it founded 1786, way over a decade Gravesfield was said to be founded, I also couldn't find too much about Hamden having Witch trials, but if they did it definitely wasn't as big as Wethersfield's or Hartford.

Now I'm basically stuck between Litchfield and Wethersfield.

Litchfield:

Litchfield I was drawn to because of its name really. It means Field of Corpses and that's basically the same thing as Gravesfield lol. On top of that, it also holds the county seat of Litchfield County, something Gravesfield supposedly is as well. (In modern day context of course.)

Also Gravesfield was said to be along Conneticut Route 109, putting right along either Washington pr Litchfield (which J. B. Owen said was probably false on the Washington part but at the same time he uses an image of Washington's river as stated below)

The thing is though, like Hamden it wasnt founded until the 18th century, and there was no witch trial things that i could find. :/

Which then led me to Wethersfield:

Now Wethersfield is WAY more appropriate in both time, setting, and history. Wethersfield was one of the first colonies to be pop-up around the correct time for the Wittebane brothers to arrive in Connecticut. Wethersfield was founded in 1633-34 and Gravesfield in 1635 (Mind the brothers were said to arrive in 1613 I think it was, either this was a continuity error or they were among the very first settlers in Gravesfield.)

Random but it was also called Watertowne before it was changed to Wethersfield.

Anyways, In the Mock-up website we can see at the top, a banner picture of a winding river. Now i did google search this image and it is actually Washington Ct, womp womp, but I think it could actually be pointing to another more prominent river in Connecticut and that's the actual Connecticut River, which Wethersfield is conveniently placed right next to.

Now lets look at a map of Wethersfield:

river, check check, and HOLY SHIT THAT COULD BE THE FLOODED GRAVEYARD LOL (where i circled) Sadly, Its not actually, but it shows how similiar the geography possibly is.

I think last and most importantly however is the fact that Wethersfield is known to have some of the earliest of the witch trials in Connecticut at the time. (There were 9 documented accusations and only 3 executions, one of which was a woman who openly admitted to using to witch craft, Mary Johnson, and a married couple name Joan and John Carrington.) This goes very well with the whole Witch Hunting thing.

Lastly I think the cherry on top would be that they both just look incredibly similar lol:

Also fun fact, If the Wittebane brothers did actually arrive in 1613~ they would have been among the Dutch settlers rather than the British, whom were the ones to found Wethersfield. Take that information how you will but I am certainly going to make some kind of headcannon out of it lol

Anyways more art soon once i actually finish it, but please, Let me know your guy's thoughts :D !

　FUN FACTS ABOUT INOS CT . 　

𑣲 ֪͏ a big thing to notice if your familiar with what his beasts are based on is that his technique name does not say ' the four auspicious beasts ' instead being stated as ' auspicious beast summons ' as the four auspicious beasts are widely recognized as the phoenix , qilin , tortoise and dragon , so we can probably suspect that he can most likely pick , choose and discard various auspicious beasts as long as he's using four . or even the beasts we see him with are ones that choose to be by his side instead , as we just don't know enough about ino's early stages in life and his family to really have a firm statement over it . ﹙and yk gege probably just liked the ones we ended up with the most and made sense to use in the jujutsu world﹚

𑣲 ֪͏ kirin and kaichi are both beings of judgment , residing over what's good or bad , or what's innocent and guilty . they only take to good and kind-hearted people , so the fact ino can ' summon ' them in a seance and be able to use their powers says a lot about him that more people should talk about ！within ino's full name﹙猪野琢真﹚ , the 真 can be read as ' truth ' or ' genuineness ' . as kirin and kaichi also seek truth or genuineness from people , it's a really cute and rewarding detail to notice for ino and shows even more how gege luvs putting details around his characters in their names !

𑣲 ֪͏ even ino's connection around ego depletion should be talked about more with his character ！ego depletion is the idea that the decision making processin your brain vs things you like is limited . every time you manage to do the right thing , it makes it that much harder to resist other urges / desires . ino's mantra and chant to himself ' understand the facts and control the self. eliminate the ego ' suggests a struggle with maintaining his own self-control , as even its heavily implied he has an alcohol addiction , so that would make sense . interestingly , this line is changed ever so slightly in the anime , which honestly could just be translation errors and still gets ino's line across ！ultimately , he finds a way around this struggle by substituting his own identity and thought process and thinking through nanami's actions. ' what would nanami do ？' is about maintaining self-control and doing things the ' right way ' every time rather than giving into desires . the idea that if a ' good ' person doesn't approve of his ways , he isn't on a righteous path . even further pushing ino's stubborn mindset of not accepting his semi grade 1 potential without nanami's approval first .

[grimpisces]

hello there^^

Could you pls spare some more details off your clone/ bacteria of? The concept is so good *chefs kiss*

I'M SORRY (this was asked back in October...)

I kinda just post and go back into my cave when I log on here....

But since I'm starting to post more I'll go ahead and answer.

My Clone Oc was kinda more of a test ngl, they're based off of an Oc I have for an idea of a game I want to build (so if you see me post stuff about it/or from a different account I might promote it's me lol)

As I was working on my Oc I was getting so into Clone Wars again so they kinda merged.

I wont lie, I'm still kinda working on them (along with a few other clone Oc's I have to play along in the story for him) I changed their name because I didn't know a clone already took CT-0000, well it was more gonna be an 'error' type thing. However, I found that them still actually having the clones number would be nice.

I'm also not sure on the face/body, if I want to make them more monster-ish or more human, eyes around the body or not?

So the 'lore' for them is mainly CT-0410 (shiney not named due to being shy and not talking much with brothers) going out on his first mission with his Platoon but venturing out to far and getting killed by droids. However, this planet held quite weird bacteria living on it ( not to sure if I want to say a fungi? or not) , which came into contact with 0410's body and merged. Eating him almost entirely but left the brain, eyes and bones, then began to mimic the parts for a human (making more eyes/forming a 'body') due to the bacteria actually connecting with the brain and trying to remember/function like 0410.

So yes, that's the jest of it all, I'm currently working on a short comic series (I have never done comics lol) but I'm in a bit of an artist drought...well for like years lol so I'm hoping this helps with that.

Some headcanons for Griffin, Faragonda and Saladin

I have some headcanons about Saladin, Griffin and Faragonda. All three of them have been "cursed" (not cursed per se, I'm using the word 'curse' as a metaphor for their trauma) during the Company of Light era.

Saladin prides himself in his powerful abilities as a wizard, especially in his strength.

When the time came to face a battle between the Ancestral Witches and their minions during one of the Company of Light’s missions, one of them cursed him to age quickly, which heavily affected his height too, causing him to shrink. It took him a while to adjust to his condition, but despite his curse, he is still able to retain the potency of his magical abilities with some limitations that comes with being cursed, which Valtor in Season 3 insinuates that he is the weakest (obvs he is far from that!) among the three points of magic.

With Faragonda, being able to have better control of her powers is one of the most important things to her. For most part of her childhood up to her early teenage years, she struggled understanding herself and her powers. Growing up from a family of witches and wizards, she was born a witch and because she was unable to control her powers (thanks to the pressure from her parents), despite the help of Griffin when they were younger, she decided to transfer from Cloud Tower to Alfea to become a fairy.

When she switched schools, it had caused a slight rivalry and bitterness between her and Griffin since light magic is the more socially acceptable type of magic. By channeling positive emotions, it has helped her manage and understand her powers better. This also led to an interest in teaching herself convergence at Alfea (which she teaches in the series), particularly converging with dark magic users. With Faragonda's own research in convergence with light and dark magic to fight the forces of evil, she had hoped it would bridge the gap between fairies and witches (especially from Alfea and Cloud Tower), hoped it would bring her and Griffin together like they once were and hoped it would help the Council understand that light and dark can work in unison, and that dark magic users are important to the balance of magic. I'll expand on Faragonda's role, powers and background in my CoL fic later on. Similar to Griffin's own research in my headcanons for her.

Anyway, during Faragonda’s mission to rescue Griffin from the Ancestral Witches' lair in Obsidian, everything was going to plan when Faragonda found herself in a trap set by one of the members from the Wizards of the Black Circle, Yllidith (a character from the comics who we do not see in the show). Long story short, Yllidith plucked Faragonda’s wings in front of Griffin (who was magi-cuffed at the time, also tied to her fate, so she couldn't access her powers as she watched in horror). Hagen and Saladin both came to their rescue and fought off the wizard and other beings of evil. And with all the strength she had left, Faragonda opened a portal and teleported them back to safety despite being severely wounded. Even with the help of her Enchantix fairy dust or any fairy who was at Enchantix level, there had been no cure in growing her fairy wings back.

However, since witches don't need wings to fly, Griffin taught Faragonda to fly with a LOT of trial and error + it had taken Faragonda years to heal from losing her wings. She also had gotten a little better at channeling her negative emotions but she was still better suited as a fairy and was at her best with transmitting positive emotions despite being wingless.

Griffin’s curse is thanks to Valtor for her betrayal during their final encounter with one another. He has cursed her to never know peace. Anything she holds dear somehow gets taken away from her, even momentarily and she's in a constant state of chaos, also most likely from her PTSD from the war(s). (Faragonda helps Griffin cope with and manage her curse, they both do!)

Cloud Tower (CT) is one of the things she holds dear because it is her safe space, not only for herself or the many objects (some rare, dangerous and ancient relics) that is home to it but also for her students who she deeply care for.

The times when CT was invaded by the Trix and with them being related to the Ancestral Witches (AW), you can imagine how triggering it was for her, especially when she’s worked incredibly hard to make sure CT is a school where witches of dark magic can learn how to control their powers for good and help fight evil. She fears that, with the Trix being in control of CT, history might repeat itself and cause an army of dark magic users who uses their powers for evil causing an imbalance in magic.

And let’s not forget when Valtor took control of CT and her students, it had really caused her dearly. He even sent her to prison in her own school, a cruel way to face her punishment for betraying him all those years ago. He had hoped she'd rot in her prison cell for eternity, to be a prisoner of her own mind from her grief and guilt, the same way he did when he was trapped in the Omega Dimension. (Of course, we know what canonically happened in Season 3).

It's December 4, 2024.

Today, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in United States v. Skrmetti, a challenge to Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care. The specific question presented is whether Tennessee's ban violates the Equal Protection Clause.

The challenge is to Tenn. Code Ann. § 68-33-103(a)(1). That is, it's a challenge to a bit of Tennessee's Annotated Code. Title 68, Chapter 33, "Prohibited Medical Procedures for Minors."

I don't have anything to say about Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care. Nor do I have anything to say about how the Court will treat the case. Not yet, anyways.

But I have something to say about the Code.

I.

Tennessee's laws are compiled by its code commission.

Under state law, the commission is a five-member body, consisting of the state's chief justice, attorney general, and counsel for the legislature, along with another two members appointed by the chief justice. Tenn. Code Ann. § 1-1-101(a).

The code commission supervises the official publication of the state's statutes, codes and session laws. § 1-1-105(a). The commission is empowered to commission to contract with publishers to that end, § 1-1-106(a), and obliged to inspect and certify their work. § 1-1-110(a).

When its work finished, the commission puts its certificate of approval in each volume and pocket supplement. § 1-1-110(c). But their first certificate, the one they leave with the secretary of state, § 1-1-110(b), is what gives the code the force of law. § 1-1-111(a).

Beyond that, the commission's work is ministerial. It cuts and pastes. "[T]he commission shall not alter the sense, meaning or effect of any act of the general assembly, but shall copy the exact language of the text of the statutes, codes and session laws." § 1-1-108.

The commission may "rearrange, regroup and renumber" the laws; change their "section headings"; "correct manifest misspelling[s] and typographical errors"; and "omit enacting clauses, repealing clauses, severability clauses, conditional clauses, preambles, [and] captions", § 1-1-108—and not much more.

II.

Tennessee leaves the work to Lexis, a private publisher.

Lexis's product, the Tennessee Code Annotated, is not eligible for copyright. Public.Resource.Org v. Matthew Bender & Co., No. M2022-01260-COA-R3-CV, slip op. (Tenn. Ct. App. Nov. 9, 2023). But it is not subject to compulsory disclosure, either.

Under current law, according to the state's intermediate appellate court, the Tennessee Code Annotated in the hands of Lexis is in the hands of a private contractor, not the State.

If Lexis had been the functional equivalent of a government entity, contracted to "perform a governmental or public function," it would be subject to the State's public records law. *8. But it's not.

That's what the state's intermediate appellate court says, at least. But its reasoning is less than persuasive.

III.

Lexis is merely a contractor. The commission specifies the work, and Lexis does the work. The commission may be exacting, but it isn't controlling. *9.

That's the court's argument, at least. But that strikes me as a less than complete account of the commission's duties under State law, which must inform any characterization of its contracts.

Under State law, the commission is "authorized and directed to" control each dimension of the compilation, Tenn. Code Ann. § 1-1-105(a), and must

supervise the execution of plans for the compilation, arrangement, classification, annotation, editing, indexing, printing, binding, publication, sale, distribution and the performance of all other acts necessary for the publication of an official compilation of the statutes, codes and session laws of the state of Tennessee

The commission's contractual powers, set out in the subsequent section, § 1-1-106, are an incident to its primary authority and duty to "formulate and supervise" the compilation. § 1-1-105(a).

The commission's primary authority and duty to prepare the compilation is plain on the face of the law. Under State law, the compilation is the commission's work, down to the copying and pasting, § 1-1-108(a):

In preparing the manuscript of the revised compilation (including pocket supplements and replacement volumes) for publication and distribution, the commission shall not alter the sense, meaning or effect of any act of the general assembly, but shall copy the exact language of the text . . .

This is more than the relationship suggested by the court. It's more than control over the product. It's control over production, the work of "preparing the manuscript."

To the extent that Lexis is doing the work, "preparing the manuscript," and "copy[ing] the exact language of the text," it is performing the commission's functions.

The court says "Lexis is not a stand-in for government." But that's exactly what it is. The commission is a government body. And Lexis is doing the commission's work.

That seems like a governmental function to me.

Wants and Fears Sanity 3t2 Traits Edition #2 "Deviance"

Welcome back, fellow trait hogs! Scroll down and get my wants and fears sanity 3t2 project PART ONE

This mod that edits check trees was inspired by looking at the Sims wiki articles for the Evil and the Mean Spirited trait, and by playing an Evil Popularity Sim once and wondering why she would be rolling fears of making an enemy, or conversely, wanting to lose an enemy by befriending them.

In the Sims 3, Mean-Spirited Sims actually get a mood boost from making enemies and being around them.

Why would they want to lose that??

So, this mod gives some logic to wants rolled by truly diabolical Sims!

Link: https://simfileshare.net/folder/241217/

Traits Affected: Evil, Mean Spirited

Effects:

Evil and Mean-Spirited Sims won’t roll wants to stop being enemies. (CT - Test - Lose Enemy)

Evil and Mean-Spirited Sims won’t roll fears of making enemies even if they are a Popularity Sim. (CT - Test - Be Enemies)

Only Evil Sims will roll “Drink Sim from Cowplant” wants (CT - At Least Teen - (Can be Dead)) They still have to be furious or enemies with someone just like normal

Mean-Spirited won’t roll fears of having a bad conversation. (CT - Test - Talk)

Requirements:

University or later (for the Cowplant CT)

Easy Inventory Check

The affected traits and trait_main

Conflicts:

Wfsanity

Wfsanity by Pescado has an error with referencing a Want Guid that doesn't exist (CT - Test - At Least Child) that I found so I'd advise against this mod, or you can just delete that BHAV and the BHAVS that conflict with mine in SimPe. I picked and chose from this mod.

To be honest, if you aren't handy with SimPe, I would not download be careful about downloading any combination of mods that edit want check trees, but the worst that will happen is that you will have Sims with traits rolling wants that don't make sense. Or Wants Controller errors if the BHAVS conflict.

Be sure to check out all the Want Disabling mods by DeeDee on her Tumblr! Technophobes won't roll wants to use electronics, for example and I have a FUN mod in testing right now for Technophobes as well ... an homage, if you will, to Sims 3.

This mod modifies the following BHAVS:

CT - Test -Talk (Bad convo) 0x1127

CT - Test - Be Enemies 0x1105

CT - Test - Lose Enemy 0x1107

CT - Test - At Least Teen (Can be Dead) (Cowplant want) 0x11AD

Happy Simming!

I'm a fairly young artist(in my teens) and i've recently gotten carpal tunnel syndrome, is there any advice you have to avoid worsening my condition?

hi there! i'm sorry to hear about the cts. it's such a finicky thing but it's manageable with the proper attention. what makes it rather difficult is that cts is usually a case-to-case basis and not all treatment methods work the same for each person. so take this with caution.

that said, before anything else, I recommend that you keep in touch with your doctor and follow any medication prescribed. it's better if you have a hand specialist (orthopaedic) to look at it if you haven't yet. ask them anything you're curious about such as things that involve your regular activities.

another thing, you should know that my cts has gotten severe to the point that my orthopaedist recommended I take surgery, but at the time, my mother was vehemently against it and I was in no position to disobey her so I had to find my own way to live with the strain. I do find myself lucky that I was able to live my life a little normally after a bit of research and trial and error. just know that I'm not encouraging going against what doctors recommend, but if you find yourself in the same situation as me, then hopefully you'll be lucky.

these are what i found that worked for me and my lifestyle:

before you do anything else, do NOT do any stretches, exercise, or any activity if it causes you PAIN. it's normal to feel a bit of tension while doing stretches and exercises but you are NOT supposed to feel PAIN. stop immediately if you do and ask your doctor for advice. until then, avoid any activity and just rest your hands and wrists.

if you only have cts on one wrist (unlike me I have both,) I still recommend doing these things for both! just to keep things balanced. it'll be good prevention for the other wrist too anyways :)

you should also ask your doctor for vitamins for your cts! i took some for a while, I'm pretty sure it was vitamin B12. BUT please ask your doctor first!

stretches and exercises

for stretches, what i did was a routine of doing them before and after i get out of bed. this is very important especially if you tend to sleep with your wrists curled or under pressure, like putting it under your head. when you sleep, you are likely to hold a position for at least a couple or so hours before you move and toss and turn (sometimes not at all) this causes stress on your wrists for a prolonged time so it's important to stretch them before and after you sleep.

i also stretch before and after working/drawing. if you know you're going to be on the computer or workspace for a while, be sure to do this and do it every hour or so. your cts is more likely to give you problems if you keep doing repetitive activities such as drawing and typing without stretching.

you're going to see these things everywhere and your doctor might give you a diagram too, like mine did. but this is almost the same one I got from my ortho.

i like to do these as a break from work, but you can also do them before and after sleeping and/or working. just do each for about 15-20 seconds and make sure to relax your hand for about 5 seconds after each one to give your wrists a breather, so to speak. put on a lil silly youtube video while you do them! makes them less of a drag to do :-3

here are some great videos that helped me a lot as well! i mainly do these before and after sleeping/working but after a while I just start to do them randomly when I'm not particularly doing anything with my hands too.

what's great about these videos is that it's not sped up or skipped around, so you can do this "with" them. i personally find it hard to follow diagrams or sped up videos so it's nice to have a real time guide, if that makes sense. eventually, you'll remember these routines enough to not rely on the videos anymore. ^^

there's another exercise i like to do that I can't seem to find a video or diagram of but basically just do push-ups on the wall for about 20 times. this is also good for your back!

here is another easy one to do whenever you're idle or just want an easy stretch (old ladies taught me this lol)

when your wrists are feeling better, you can do some wrist strengthening. you can do this with a simple water bottle. don't use anything too heavy, you wouldn't want to strain. i'd say around 300~500g plastic water bottle is enough but, of course, find what works best for you! you're not here to body build, you just want some strength back on your wrists. do this upside too. about 15-20 times each.

tools

now that i've suggested the water bottle, here are some other helpful things!

1. wrist splint

to me, this is a MUST. please get anything like this whenever you can. i got mine from sports shops but you can also find them in medical supplies and pharmacies sometimes. i wore this when my wrists were still inflamed for 2 weeks. after the inflammation had subsided, I switched to using them every time I went to sleep. remember when I said how we tend to strain our wrists during sleep? this helps prevent that. don't use it when you're doing something though like being on the computer and drawing, I found it horribly uncomfortable!! using it when i was sleeping was enough for me.

2. ergonomic vertical mouse and keyboard

this mouse will help lessen the pressure on your cts while you're on the computer. some of them can get pretty expensive but honestly I just used a cheap 10$ one. it broke every 6 months but as long as it does its job!! if you have the budget for it, throw in an ergonomic keyboard as well. if not, you can opt for at least a cushioned wrist pad. also, try to get a mechanical keyboard with red switch keys. it makes them easier to click and use! membrane keyboards tend to have some resistance so I really do not recommend them.

update (march 2025): i've been using the logitech lift ergonomic mouse the past 3 months and it's been excellent on my wrist management. it's a little on the pricier side but it's been well worth what i paid for so far. i've only used 5% of the battery, never charged, and this is with regular and extensive use.

3. stress ball

in the first exercise diagram you'll see one of them requires a stress ball. honestly just having one in general is pretty useful. squeeze it whenever you're not doing anything in particular.

lifestyle changes

here's where most of the trial error comes from. aside from drawing, I do a lot of things every day that require my hands, oftentimes straining them. chores such as cleaning, cooking, lifting groceries and whatnot. this made it difficult for me to recover during the time my cts was at its worst because BOTH of my hands were unavailable.

it was at this time my siblings didn't know how to cook either so I had to still move but with a lot of help from them. i asked them to chop anything harder than leafy vegetables, such as potatoes and carrots for me because I couldn't. i asked them to lift groceries for me and casseroles filled with water because I couldn't.

the point is, if you have people around you who can help you, it's best to ask for it before hurting yourself even more. even now when my cts is more manageable, I still ask my siblings to do these things because admittedly my wrists are still weak.

some other changes i had to make was go from ceramic plating to plastic ones. this is because ceramic was too heavy for my wrists as well. i also changed from carrying grocery bags to buying a portable grocery cart. i also changed certain ways I draw and found myself more comfortable in using tools that help me. stuff like that, yknow? so it really depends on what your lifestyle is. but the rule of thumb is, don't make things harder than it should be!

speaking of ease of drawing, if you draw digitally, I highly recommend setting your hotkeys into something easier to reach. for example, my current hotkeys are like this so I don't strain my wrist and fingers from straining them to reach hotkeys that are far apart so often.

this takes a while to get used to but I promise that it's worth it. :)

be careful as well of video games that put too much strain on your wrists. when I was recovering I couldn't play games like bayonetta because it was just too much button mashing and it made my wrists go nuts lol (I can't play skullgirls anymore </3)

i also play on a controller instead of a keyboard these days because it's less strain on my wrists. i use a ps4 controller so idk how other controllers would perform. also, if your game has controller vibration, TURN THAT OFF lol this thing makes my wrists go stupid every time.

i think it also is pretty obvious but, invest in a spacious and comfortable workspace! one that you have enough room to rest your arm comfortably while you draw or type or do anything for long hours. the reason I even got cts was because I had such a shitty makeshift table. you don't need to invest so much as to burn hundreds of dollars (but if you have the means, go for it!) I was able to make do with a simple desk chair and a spacious desk that was the right level for me.

remember, the goal is to lessen the strain on the wrists as much as possible. this includes pressing it onto hard surfaces and corners! big no-no! if your wrists hurt, stop everything, put the splint on and rest!

that's all i can think of to tell you. hopefully, you can find your way to manage things :) cts can be scary, but with the right care you'll still be able to draw and do things you like so long as you don't push it. take care!

To be honest, Yaga was taken from JJK way too soon. Can I please get general platonic Headcanons for Yaga and reader. Reader uses a puppet based CT akin to Kankuro from Naruto.

Ooooohhh this is quite interesting! Thanks anon.

Platonic Principal Yaga x Reader

Genre: Headcanons

Reader: neutral

Warnings: SPOILERS!!!! Fluff and Angst.

although I think it depends on whether the reader is of the age of the current generation or the previous generation (i.e., 2007).

He would definitely be less serious with a reader from 2007, precisely because 1- he hasn't been through so much traumatic shit and 2- being with such strong companions and a healer, he expected them to be safe.

He acts more like an older brother than a father in this case.

Even that would probably change after the Geto incident. There I would take more care that the reader had no problem telling him things and especially if he wanted to stop being a sorcerer. He would understand.

(he would understand even without all the shit that happened in that arc)

He would have been worse at handling the reader emotionally because he would not have had as much experience as his version of the present, it would be a matter of trial and error.

although I feel that he would be less authoritarian.

with the reader of the current generation it is more paternal, more tired, more experienced.

He handles the reader much better having already raised a panda. I'll with this one.

The reader probably belonged to a clan similar to that of Inumaki, that is, although it was powerful, it was not really that recognized, but it was feared.

This is precisely due to their power to manipulate complex puppets for battle using cursed energy. it made them unstoppable in fights, but at the same time it made others fence them in and quote them for conflicts.

The reader probably already grew up with this fixation on creations related to puppets, which was encouraged and refined by their family, but at the same time they did not give it as much relevance due to the complicated social situation of the clan.

Similar to Kanguro also includes a super powerful little brother vessel of a monster? Because if so it would explain quite well why the reader was suddenly orphaned, simply one day their clan could not contain their brother and the vast majority died.

or in the worst case, the other clans set a trap for them to get rid of possible competition or enemies.

In any case, the reader is left alone with the only thing that remains of their family, their puppets, their weapons, their souls.

People may not even have realized that there was still a survivor of the clan until Yaga himself went to see the area (to study the remains of the family's cursed technique for himself) since the reader remained locked in and isolated improving and fixing the remaining puppets.

To say Yaga was impressed is an understatement.

We are talking about how a child, alone, was able to fix hundreds of puppets on their own, make them compatible with their own curse technique and improve said puppets.

Yaga simply knew reader had potential, but he had to know if they had the will and motivation to do even more.

Although it was difficult, the kid didn't even speak the first times he went to see them, and Yaga is not the talkative type.

Although he also tried to be friendly with the child, seeing the situation they were in.

Yaga brought them things like hot food, blankets, clean clothes, etc. hoping they wouldn't get sick and would stay healthy.

Little by little the reader began to open up to him, being more talkative and even asking him for advice on certain areas of cursed energy that he doesn't understand (they were a child after all).

This is how the link between them is generated, Yaga used the cursed reader technique as a reference for her own studies with her creations and taught the reader as he went.

Although it wouldn't mean that they would agree to go to a sorcery academy so easily at first NOOOO

We could say that it was quite the opposite. After all, the children of the clans that killed his would be there, what ensured that they wouldn't finish the job?

We could say that the reader's main motivation is to survive and keep his family's legacy alive, so at the beginning he was not willing to risk it just to have "potential."

but at the same time it was that very thing that convinced Yaga even more that they had to give sorcery a chance.

Yaga would assure the reader protection during his training for the jujutsu school, both before and after his entry, a roof over his head, etc.

Although the important thing is that he would give them free rein with their puppets, both in materials, media and experiments if they wanted it.

Do you want to maintain your family's legacy? Well, show them that everything they left behind was not in vain.

If we go to more advanced terms, it is something interesting.

Yaga definitely makes reader and Panda interact, they don't have to like each other if they don't, but it makes Yaga especially happy to see his two children wards getting along even a little bit well.

The reader probably has few social skills thanks to learning Yaga's workaholic tendencies, so Yaga would try to put them in "larger" groups so that they learns to open up and have more "manners" (he actually worries that they won't know how to socialize properly)

reader and Yaga have already worked together on some experiments related to Yaga's creations/reader's puppets, nothing that goes beyond the rules, but it definitely gives...interesting results.

Yaga may even have put the souls of several of the reader's relatives into several of their puppets in case they ever runs out of cursed energy. In addition, this way it better guarantees its protection.

Outside of all predictions, I can see this man telling bedtime stories to the reader. just a hunch. No matter how "old" you are, if you can't sleep, you'll read something together.

Yaga IS NOT letting them meet Satoru, simply NO, he has enough dealing with him at work, he will not let him maliciously influence the reader.

By the time the reader is at the academy, Yaga gives them tutoring when he can or if necessary, but again, it seems more necessary to give them classes on how to socialize with children their age🤣

Yaga definitely encourages the reader to have good grades, he is not a strict parent, but if he knows which reader can do better, he will encourage them to do better.

He is also a father who allows room for mistakes, he cannot avoid them, but he will help the reader learn from them and their consequences. mainly with their experiments.

Like, knows that to learn sometimes it is necessary to fail. You could say that he has more patience with Reader than with Gojo. As always

I don't think he wants to tell the reader about the secret of how he created Panda, not only because it would be dangerous if the reader tried it on their own, but because he fears that those above will come after them if he does.

It is not for lack of trust, it is for the safety of both.

Imagine that some of Yaga's cursed corpses are going to greet the reader every time they come home🥺

Yaga also definitely keeps a low profile when it comes to reader, also for security reasons.

He's the kind of dad who wants you to text him every time you get somewhere, what if you don't? He would think you died.

If we talk about Yaga formally adopting the reader, it would be quite nice.

They are both not very talkative, but there really isn't much need. It is as if they communicate in Morse code in front of the students.

Also thanks to this, Yaga (with a good level of security) can use the reader as a kind of internal agent and know, for example, if someone is leaking information at the academy.

If the reader wanted to learn how to make cursed stuffed bodies similar to him, he would be internally jumping with joy that finally the reader wants to change his habits a little.

The same thing would happen if reader called him "dad", whether by accident or on purpose, he keeps his face straight, but as soon as he is alone, he turns into a waterfall.

(Gojo will definitely use that as blackmail material)

Even after Shibuya and pressure to hand over the last member of the reader clan, Yaga remains steadfast. He may hand over some puppets that he created using the reader's puppets as a reference so that they don't go after them, but not beyond that.

but eventually that is not enough.

When...what happened happens, some special cursed body for the reader will probably be activated, one that will protect him from now on.

Even when he is gone, Yaga continues to take care of them. always.

Shares, reblogs and comments are very welcome!

Ahhhhhhhg i make this a little shorter but i hope it's okay😭 i think this Reader more like Kanguro turns out more like...Sasori? Anyway.

Thanks for the Request ❤️
