[the-silly-urge]

Sorry to OCpost without context on main but I thought about Gale x Siraye again and I can't tell what's funnier. It starting off with Siraye as Tav, Sylphin as Tav or both.

Like either Siraye returns to Baldur's Gate with her new wizard boyfriend who's utterly in love with her and talks in a completely improbable way. Sylphin gets the sheer joy of seeing their (presumed dead) mom again at the same time as meeting Gale who would say the most cringe shit to them I'm sure.

Alternatively Sylphin and their party return to Baldur's Gate and make a beeline for the Temple which Siraye worships at. Tearful reunion, etc, Siraye comes to the Elfsong with Sylphin to catch up. Ends up talking to Gale for hours and then goes "Honey you didn't tell me you were travelling with such astute and pleasant company!" and then Gale telling them that their mother is delightful and they're on for brunch next Saturday or something. Sylphin just like Oh Okay! but going to fucking sulk bc there's No Way. There's No Fucking Way.

Siraye and Sylphin ending up on the Nautiloid together would be earth-shattering for Syl (in a mostly negative way though at least they don't have to worry about their mom being dead-) bc they'd just be trying not to disappoint her, while Siraye sort of judges/fusses over the whole party and vaguely flirts with Gale (if I haven't made it obvious, Sylphin is inclined to think he's a little bit of a loser)

DICE!!! GIVE ME MORE PAINTBRUSH MOM!! (Makeupbrush)/ PAST AU LORE

AND MY LIFE!! IS YOURS!!

/hj /nf i love ur art sm dhaixjakwk

Oh Makeupbrush, you awful woman that I love (and hate)

Here are some drawings of her, both human and object. And one of the siblings. I love my past au and nothing will stop me from making content of it!

Anyway, lore undercut. It gets angsty

I'm gonna summarize (yes this is the story summarize lol)

Makeupbrush (Persephone in human) met Paint Can (Pierre) at work. He was her boss. She loved him for the security and money he provided. But he started to realize he didn't feel the same and wanted to leave her. She couldn't have that and essentially baby trapped him (she got pregnant on purpose so he couldn't leave)

They got married and had Paintbrush (who in human was named after their mother, but goes by Percy). MB quit her job to raise her child. 6 years later had Paint Palette (named after his father)

Now, Paint Bucket had terrible anger issues that he would often take out on his wife and kids (verbally). But when Paintbrush was 14, he abandoned them. Then PB ran away at 17 and never looked back

Fun fact: in this au bfdi and ii are in the same universe. PB gets their fire ability from their mother, it skipped a generation, but she got it from her family. Somewhere down the line she and PB are related to Match from bfdi (or it was Firey but I don't remember lol)

Makeupbrush tried to understand Paintbrush but she couldn't. She grew up in a toxic religious family, and their beliefs had been drilled into her since day 1. And she did the same to her kids. She was a "It's just a phase" kinda mom.

Paintbrush didn't try to come out to their family until they were older, so their father has no idea and never will. They don't know what his reaction would've been.

Paint Palette was supportive though

Okay anyway,

Painty's backstory is inspired by a few different backstories. First off, they take a little inspiration from Bea from NITW, not too much tho. There's Grace from Infinity Train. And finally the song Our Word from 36 Questions

The Death Tool of Voldemort's Wars

So, I did say I'll make this post somewhere, so here it is.

When trying to make sense of Voldemort’s behavior in the books, I noticed that the two wars were actually very different. How they were waged, how many people died, and who was most targeted along with Voldemort's goals.

(Because I mentioned it, I'll just say Voldemort’s behavior in the book is really weird and somewhat contradictory, but I found a way to explain that. Consider this the second post on my way to analyze Voldemort after the Horcruxes one)

The Wizarding Population in the UK

(Edit: I have revisited this subject in a later post and concluded the distribution of ages is different than shown below. I still believe there are around 6,000 wizards in the UK though)

The first step to figuring out how bad the wars with Voldemort actually were is to know the size of the wizarding population in the UK. Numbers of deceased don't mean much without being able to calculate percentages.

If there are 40 students a year at Hogwarts in 1990s → 400 wizards and witches between ages 10-19

Account for fewer births during and right after the war with Grindelwald in the 1930s-1940s, and the war with Voldemort in the 1970s

Account for longer life acceptancy (Average of 130)

And we get an estimate of something like this:

With wizards being around 0.01% of the muggle population in any country.

The population in Britian in 1991 was 57,359,454, making the wizarding population 57,359*0.01% =~ 5,700

The population in Ireland in 1991 was 5.1 M, making the Irish wizarding population about 510.

So as a rough estimate, we'll say there were ~6,200 wizards and witches in the UK and Ireland together in 1991

Probably less though considering JKR killed most of Harry's grandparents' generation with Dragon Pox....

By the same logic above in the 1970s the Wizarding population in Britain and Ireland was ~5,600 + ~300 = ~5,900 wizards and witches.

So, now we have the estimated size of the population and we can gage how much damage these wars actually caused.

So, I may have compiled a list of all war casualties from both wars. I will not place the full details here (like the exact year each died), but I'll mention sides, who they were killed by, and any other information relevant to understanding the war's influence on wizarding society, and what we can learn from it about Voldemort's intentions.

+ 13 muggles killed by Peter Pettigrew on October 31st, 1981

+ Regulus Black who died in the cave with the Inferi

This lands us at 45 casualties (including the Longbottoms) for the first Wizarding War. Now, let's look more closely at the numbers.

Not counting the muggles and creatures other than wizards lands us at 24

24/5,900 =~ 0.40% of the wizarding population was killed in the first war.

And did you notice anything interesting about the names on the list? There is only 1 muggleborn and 1 muggle family, whose death wasn't even on Voldemort's orders. What does it tell us about the war?

Well, first off, Dumbledore's idea of morality and not using dark magic and lethal curses kind of sucks. This is hardly a war, it's a massacre. 19 Order members and their families die compared to 3 Death Eaters, one of which was killed by Voldemort's creations. Moody and Mr. Weasley aren't kidding when they say the first war was rough in the fifth book. It really was, but only for their side.

The innocent casualties of people not belonging to any side in this war stand at 19 (including the 13 muggles killed by Pettigrew), and 6 (not including Pettigrew).

It's just wild how Peter Pettigrew has the most kills in this war, more than Voldemort. And it tells you a lot about Voldemort's priorities.

His priorities clearly aren't to kill all muggleborns, we can see that much. So what are his priorities? What is he actually waging a war for if it's not to kill all muggleborns like all the characters tell us?

Well, I will post a full rundown of the timeline of the first war at some point, but for now, what we know is that Voldemort is targeting the Order of the Phoenix, who opposed him. And he is in general causing chaos for the Ministry of Magic.

We know that by 1981, Voldemort practically won, with the ministry having more spies of his than any other group. The ministry was made up of Death Eaters. But we don't know of any rules he passed in this time, or moves to legalize dark magic or outlaw muggleborns — nothing like that happened.

What did happen, was that Voldemort made a cave filled with Inferi and experimented with potions (he invented the potion of despair in the cave).

It seems, more than anything, the war was there to distract the ministry or weaken it, and less about accomplishing a specific political goal. And if he was after a specific political goal, then it isn't blood purity as he isn't rounding up muggleborns like in the second war.

The low death count overall (especially when compared to the second war) is because Voldemort is there. Voldemort does not approve of unnecessary death, even muggle one:

“Nice costume, mister!” He saw the small boy’s smile falter as he ran near enough to see beneath the hood of the cloak, saw the fear cloud his painted face. Then the child turned and ran away. . . . Beneath the robe he fingered the hand of his wand. . . One simple movement and the child would never reach his mother. . . but unnecessary, quite unnecessary. . . .

(Deathly Hollows, page 295)

Voldemort himself does not like unnecessary death. He considers it and killing in rage below him at the end of the First Wizarding War. He doesn't do it himself and doesn't let his followers kill unnecessarily up until the night he kills the Potters.

What exactly Voldemort was trying to accomplish is a question I've pondered and have a few more posts about. But understanding he wasn't really after the death of all muggleborns and neither was he after control of Magical Britain, which is made very clear by the second war, is the first step to understanding him.

+ 42 more casualties for the Battle of Hogwarts.

What we see here is that this second war was much deadlier. The Battle of Hogwarts alone had more casualties than the entirety of the First War. Even if I'm generous and add 20 more dead to my estimate of the First War, it doesn't come anywhere close to the death tool of the Second War.

Now, I ask myself, why?

The Second War was much shorter, officially ongoing between May of 1996 and May of 1998 (2 years), with the First War officially waging from 1975 to October of 1981 (6 years). What was so different between the wars that caused this kind of escalation in the second one this quickly?

We see the Second War unfold, we watch how quickly the Ministry of Magic falls and the Death Eaters take over. They quickly make laws such as the Muggleborn Registry — things that didn't happen in the first war.

“Attendance is now compulsory for every young witch and wizard,” he replied. “That was announced yesterday. It’s a change, because it was never obligatory before. Of course, nearly every witch and wizard in Britain has been educated at Hogwarts, but their parents had the right to teach them at home or send them abroad if they preferred..."

(Deathly Hollows, page 182)

Lupin is talking about the Muggleborn Registry and compulsory attendance to Hogwarts — completely new things, never seen before in Britain. They weren't around the first go-around even if Voldemort had the same amount of control over the ministry (it being made up of his followers even in the 1970s). So, what changed? What's the difference?

I pondered this question, and I realized what the main difference is — Voldemort. He is different. His priorities are different.

In the second war, Voldemort doesn't show any care for the ministry, government, or unnecessary death the way he did in the First War. In the First War he limited his Death Eaters, focusing them on targeting only Order members, but in the Second War, not only did he let them loose, but he let himself loose as well.

And I'll prove just how unconcerned he is with Britain and the war during Deathly Hollows and Half-Blood Prince.

In Half-Blood Prince, when the Death Eaters break into Hogwarts to kill Dumbledore, arguably their biggest achievement in the war thus far, and where is their leader? Off, somewhere. Researching wands so he could kill Harry Potter.

And where is Lord Voldemort, leader of the Death Eaters when his followers take over the ministry and start passing the aforementioned rules? He's in Germany, tracking down the Elder Wand.

“That’s—that’s pretty, Dolores,” she said, pointing at the pendant gleaming in the ruffled folds of Umbridge’s blouse. “What?” snapped Umbridge, glancing down. “Oh yes—an old family heirloom,” she said, patting the locket lying on her large bosom. “The S stands for Selwyn. . . . I am related to the Selwyns. . . . Indeed, there are few pure blood families to whom I am not related. . . . A pity,”

(Deathly Hollows, page 225)

Voldemort is so unaware and un-present in Britain during the time he supposedly rules it, that Dolores Umbridge can strut around the ministry with the locket that is his Horcrux and holds a piece of his soul and is his Slytherin family heirloom and claim it to belong to the Selwyn family and to be hers. And she wasn't tortured horribly to death.

Yeah, Voldemort never stepped foot in the Ministry throughout Deathly Hollows. At least, not until he retrieved the elder Wand and was convinced he could kill Harry.

In the First War, Voldemort had intentions, unrelated to blood purity as they were, but intentions nonetheless. He was actually leading and had goals for the war. In the Second War, it looks like he gave up. Like he decided killing Harry Potter is the only important thing and he isn't even bothering with anything else and lets his Death Eaters do as they please.

Conclusions:

Voldemort didn't really plan to win the Second War, he didn't really care what happened to the Ministry, as long as he could kill Harry Potter whom he is quite obsessed with. Like, he's really weird about Harry Potter, and maybe I'll talk about it more in-depth, but he's obsessed with being the one to kill Harry with a wand of his own, to the point of ignoring literally everything else.

If you are going to fight an opponent that is trying to kill you, you should probably be just as willing to be lethal in turn or you'd end up massacred like the Order of the Phoenix from the 1970s....

HI HI HEEEYY I ADORE YOUR ART UHHM CAN U DRAW NONO???

And mb Pike from pb parasite series:PP

Nyeah i notice you a lot on here and on tweeter ^__^ here’s your Nono :33333

[coconox]

(prev anon! sorry - i just checked again and it says that the spreadsheet is once again available. i'm not sure what happened! so sorry for the confusion. in this case, I'll just take this time to reiterate how i think it's so kind and wonderful of you and windy to provide such a clear, visually pleasing, and well-researched spreadsheet for other fans. it is a truly wonderful resource, and people are definitely still using and appreciating it. thank you so much for your hard work and i sincerely hope that you continue!)

mb sorry for not seeing this sooner LOL

i'm glad ppl are still looking at the spreadsheet 💞 honestly with the way pb creates kits for their chars i doubt i'll be updating it anytime soon unless if there's either a future char that's really game changing or if pb makes big adjustments to how the general gameplay itself works

otherwise thank you for such the kind words! it always makes my day seeing ppl finding the spreadsheet even a little useful 🥹

El santuario de los padres

Today was a tough day/week, for all of them really. The kids just were a bit much all over…and they needed a break. So, why not have a get together among cross dimensional friends and kids? Parent by parent, kid by kid, they walked through portals and stood in front of the six story Casita. 

There they all stood. Mamabuela, mamaisa, papa Bruno, mamalores, mamabel, papantonio (all by @gamerbearmira), pamamilo (by me), and Mamaluisa (by @yellowcry). Each of them had their own kid/kids with them and the parents looked…tired. But very happy they got this break.

(PS. Papa Bruno is Bruno who adopted Mirabel and Antonio because they were being neglected.)

“Hey luisa!” Mamabel waved at mamaluisa with her 12 year old daughter next to her. Mamaluisa waved back and so did ML! Mirabel (MLU = Mama luisa). Mamabel had 2 year old Antonio in her arms and the rest of her children in tow. 

“Hey tio!” Mamaisa waved at papa Bruno who had his 14 year old Mirabel and four year old Antonio with him. He waved back and so did his nino’s. Mamaisa was busy holding 3 year old Antonio and had 13 year old Camilo and Mirabel with her, as well as 17 year old Luisa. 

“Hola Lolo” Mamabuela waved at mamalores who had 11 year old Mirabel with her and 1 year old Antonio in her arms. Mamabuela had 12 year old Isabela, 10 year old Luisa, and six year old Mirabel with her. 

“Hey tonito!” pamamilo waved at papantonio who had 4 year old Mirabel with him. Pamamilo had 4 year old Antonio, 6 year old Isaac, 8 year old sophia, 9 year old macario, and 10 year old celeste. 

The very ground they stood on was a wide and long land full of luscious jungle. Beyond that was just a beautiful orange sunset. You could see that the jungle did end somewhere but too far for anyone to actually walk to. 

The trees and bushes gave sweet fruit and berries for the kids or adults to eat. The overall vibe was very joyful and warm. A large playground sat to the right of the house and that’s instantly where the kids above the age of 3 went. The older kids could easily watch the four year olds so it was no biggie leaving them alone. 

The tweens/teens such as PB! Mirabel, MLU! Mirabel, ML! Mirabel, MA! Isabela, and M! Mirabel, MI! Camilo, and MI! Luisa ran into the house and into a large decorated room for them to talk.  (PB = Papa Bruno, ML = Mamalores, MA = Mamabuela, MI = Mamaisa). 

As for the babies such as PB! Antonio, MI! Antonio, ML! Antonio, and MB! Antonio among other toddlers were put into a small play area next to the couch inside the living room. The “adults” all sat on their designated cushions and all let out a relaxed sigh. (And yes, I know, lot’s of baby Antonio’s)

“Tough day?” Mamabuela asked?

All she heard was tired sounds that clearly meant “yes”. Don’t get me wrong, they love their little munchkins to death, but please believe that taking care of them isn’t so easy. Especially when you're too young to even raise them…

“Antonio wouldn’t eat his vegetables for two hours” Papabruno pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Mirabel thought it was a good idea to make a toasted pb&j sandwich…almost burnt the kitchen down” Papatonio groaned. 

“Alejandra decided she wanted to see what leaves tasted like” Mamabel’s eye twitched

Parent by parent, they all listed what they went through from the following week and day. It was apparent that all of them were tired. 

“I need tea” Mamalores sighed when she put her hands on her head. A headache prominent in her head for three hours before she got here. 

“I need wine” Pamamilo chuckled

“Tea it is” Mamaisa got up and attempted to go toward the kitchen but someone stopped her. 

“I got it isa, you can relax” Papatonio put his hand on her shoulder and patted it. 

“I’m more closer to the kitchen” Mamalulu stood up, “I can go make it-”

Here we go

“Oh no, you guys can sit down, I can do it” Mamabel raised her hand in an up and down motion. Gesturing for them to sit. 

“I can do it, it’s no issue. Just tell me what tea you guys like” Pamamilo chimed in

“I can go, I don’t mind” Papabruno stood up

“I mentioned tea, so I should do it” Mamalores got off the couch, “you can sit d-”

CRASH….a window has been broken. And what went through the window? A baseball. Yards, miles, acres worth of land and yet the children decided to play baseball…directly near the house. 

And what made the situation funny, is that the outside was very quiet. Eerily quiet. Usually, the outside always sounded like kids at recess. Now?...ghost town. The kids all knew there was trouble ahead and this could be heard from outside-

“Why would you do that?” MB! Luisa shouted at ML! Mirabel. MB! Luisa sounded scared and panicked. 

“I don’t know! It was an accident!” ML! Mirabel sounded like she was on the verge of tears.

“You're gonna die” MB! Mirabel said with blatant honesty.

Inside the house all of the “adults” looked very displeased and stared directly at the baseball. 

“How about we make our own tea and deal with that later” 

-

Here’s how sanctuary casita works:

Sanctuary Casita has about 50+ rooms inside of it. All of them are big or small depending on the kid or parent. 

Casita is six stories tall and wide as hell seeing as it needs to fit 50+ people. Sometimes the parents and kids stay long enough to sleep there but not all the time. 

It has a pool, LARGE kitchen, dance studio, library, and anything else you could think of. 

Yep, that’s about it. If you have any ideas for what else to add let me know. 

How the au works and Q&A

When the parents get stressed out they usually go to sanctuary casita for a break. 

How did they meet? Still trying to figure that out but it has to do with just a portal opening up in their room. 

All of the parents have a special pendant necklace (that was gifted to them by sanctuary Casita) they can call each other through. All they have to do is touch the pendant with a certain person in mind and they just call them. The kids above four have them too.

Do the other relatives of the parents know the sanctuary world exists? Depends on who you're asking. Papa bruno, Mamaluisa, and Mamalores, Mamabel: No/not yet. Papantonio, Mamabuela, and Pamamalio: yes. 

Do I plan on expanding this au?...sort of? I guess, mostly with incorrect quotes. 

How many times do they meet up? Every week or every other month.

Will there be angst in this au? only by request. Other than that, it's just wholesome family vibes.

Mob Hybrids

Mob "Hybrids"**: Players that were either born mob-species and attained Player status, or were simply born with mob-features (and sometimes instincts). No one really knows how these Hybrids come into being, particularly the Player-born ones, while the means by which some mob-born Players attain their status is equally unknown, and possibly different for each individual. Almost all mob-born Hybrids are humanoid species, however, such as Piglins, Endermen, Villagers, etc. The Player-born Hybrids can display traits from any mob species however, including Sheep, Wolves, Cats, etc.*** The degree of "visibility" of their mob-traits can vary from Hybrid to Hybrid, but most will typically display at least one trait, with the average being two to five, but ranging to almost fully-mob features. Descendants of Mob Hybrids can still display some of the features of their ancestor(s), but usually to a much lesser degree. These features can manifest in descendants of Hybrids regardless of whether their direct ancestors (parents/grandparents/etc.) displayed their Hybrid traits or not. 

 Examples: Rendog (Pb-Dog); Technoblade (Mb-Piglin; Blood God)*; ZombieCleo (Mb-Zombie); Docm77 (Pb-Creeper); Zedaph (Pb-Sheep); VintageBeef (Pb-Bull/Cow); Descendant: xBCrafted (also part Voidwalker)

 *Techno has stated (to Philza) that he believes his Player-status is derived from his Voices having chosen him as a "vessel" and the ensuing rise of status to Blood God

 **Mob Hybrids, usually Player-born ones, can also overlap with other categories.

 ***Some Player-born Hybrids won't exhibit their traits right away, but will eventually "grow-into" them. 

  Avians: A special subclass of Mob Hybrids, Avians tend to be much more uniform in their display of traits, always displaying wings large enough to carry themselves (or proportional for non-flight capable birds), and many also display head-feathers and tailfeathers. Some display more birdlike legs and talons, but that's more typical in non-Avian Bird Hybrids. All are natural fliers, much more so than flight capable Bird Hybrids - which are also somewhat less likely to have wings large enough for extended flight. They also have excellent eyesight and hearing, adapted for necessity in flight. All Avians are Playerborn rather than Mobborn.

  Examples: False (Eagle); Oli (Songbird); Philza (Crow - Admin); Formerly - Grian (Parrot - now Watcher) and Jimmy (Canary - now Listener)

Friday 13th October 2023

Didn't as much coding as I wanted today, I was focused more on getting my old projects to my GitHub and just playing around with some of them to make them better~!

That's the thing with looking at old projects, you can remember oh areas you skipped over because you didn't know how to do it at the time but now you're thinking "Oh that's easy to code up, how did I get stuck on that?" - yeah that's me now because I skipped over adding little to no JavaScript into these pages because JavaScript was super hard for me back then~!

🍂 Give us your most nerdy computer fact

Erm yesterday I learnt about the fundamental units for representing and storing data in computers:

Bit -> Byte -> Kilobyte (KB) -> Megabyte (MB) -> Gigabyte (GB) -> Terabyte (TB) -> Petabyte (PB) -> Exabyte (EB)
