CC: Soon I will go to sleep and speak to t)(e gods. CC: I will convince t)(em to establis)( a series of stable dream bubbles, w)(ere we can meet in our sleep!

Nepeta was worried about Feferi's long nap, but it turns out she was doing important work. She wasn't lazing around - she was busy, negotiating access to the Furthest Ring for intersession communication.

I wonder what would have happened if there weren't any dream bubbles to inhabit? Would you just constantly be hurtling through the Squiddle Monster Portal every time you slept?

GG: feferi i thought you said you were going to stop using your typing quirk! CC: Did I? CC: When?? GG: i dont know… im sure i remember you said that CC: )(mm. CC: Jade, t)(is is t)(e first time we )(ave ever talked!

Oh?

Jade can't have learned about this from a Prospit cloud - if she did, she wouldn't be so confused about how she knows it. Something else is going on here.

GG: actually GG: i do remember this conversation GG: it was in the past! [...] GG: i dont think i am asleep…. GG: i am not on prospit CC: Yes, you are asleep. But your dream self died, just like mine, remember?

So this is a dream bubble, then? A lucid dream, which takes the form of a location from your past?

If so, that's pretty cool, and also a little bittersweet. The Players can visit their homes again - but only as illusory projections.

GG: so this is a dream? CC: It is a dream, and a memory. It is the past, brought back to life by a witch! It's all those things.

It's clear that Feferi's Witch of Life powers are in play here, too.

Perhaps Witches have something to do with dreams, then. Both Feferi and Jade have unique connections to their dream moons, and seem to have more affinity for their mechanics than the average dreamer.

CC: Wish I could make something like this. Never had the gills for technology.

But Jade does - which cements my assertion that her technological intuition is Space, and has nothing to do with her status as a Witch.

GG: why are you here! GG: are you asleep too? CC: Nope! CC: I woke up from my nap a while ago.

Feferi can project herself into Dream Bubbles while she's awake, similar to how Dave was operating both his Selves at once. It's a nifty trick, and a good way to keep the lines of communication open.

GG: then why are you here now? CC: Because, stupid. CC: I'M D------EAD!

...or, Jack has finally sniffed them out.

Fuck.

Today is the 3 year anniversary of owning this absolutely spectacular car! It has blown me away and is even better than I imagined it would be. I bought it with 64k miles and just yesterday I hit 87k! Knock on wood but no major issues so far and hopefully it will go for 100k more miles 🙂 . . . #bmw #bmwe60m5 #bmwm5 #m5 #v10m5 #v10 #s85 #bmws85 #itsaV10 #3yearanniversary #v10engine #thatsound #8300rpm #bmw5series #2008bmwm5 #photographybychristophercross https://www.instagram.com/p/Co92hpXuBlO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Top 8 Best Modifications For The BMW E60 M5

The BMW M5 stands tall as an iconic sports car, renowned globally and possibly the most celebrated BMW ever crafted. Across its generations, this Bavarian masterpiece has captivated the hearts of car enthusiasts, reigning supreme in its segment for years. Notably, the M5 holds a special allure for tuners, inviting passionate modifications and enhancements by enthusiasts worldwide.

Among all iterations, the E60 M5 remains a topic of fervent discussion, whether for its impressive V10 engine or its notorious reliability challenges, constantly making headlines. Despite debates over its advantages and drawbacks, the E60 M5 embodies sheer legend—boasting captivating aesthetics and an exhilarating drive that checks all the boxes. Moreover, it stands out as the most customized M5 to date, offering ample opportunities for personalization.

In its factory form, the E60 sported a divisive V10 engine capable of revving up to 9000 rpm, delivering 500 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque—an undeniable testament to its prowess and potential. However, if you sat in or rode in a E60 M5, you will know that BMW left quite a room for improvement. With that being said, here are the 8 Top Performance modifications for the BMW E60 M5.

1. B&B Axle Back Exhaust

Developed for the BMW E60 M5, this Billy Boat Performance Exhaust axle back system is precision crafted using 100% T304 stainless steel. By utilizing the factory mounting locations for an easy installation this system requires a single cut of the factory system on each side for removal and comes with all the necessary mounting hardware. 

Billy Boat Performance Exhaust is known for their finely crafted catback systems. Mandrel bent for a smooth and even exhaust flow, their catback exhaust system frees up horsepower and torque that are wasted by the restrictive stock system – resulting in the best possible performance gain and sound quality combination. 

Features:

Lifetime Warranty

Utilizing the Purge Resonance Technology (PRT) to have a mild exhaust note at cruising speeds yet a forceful note on aggressive driving

Made of the highest quality T-304 stainless steel

All exhaust tubing is mandrel bent on sophisticated CNC machinery for a precise fit and uninterrupted exhaust flow

Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the restrictive factory exhaust and requires absolutely no modifications to the vehicle or the product installation. 

Made in USA – Billy Boat Performance Exhaust exhaust systems are crafted in-house with years of racing and street development invested into the design

Part Number: #FBMW-1110

Product Name: B&B Exhaust Axle Back Exhaust System BMW E60 M5 2006-2009

2. CSF Radiators Race-Spec Oil Cooler

The original OE oil cooler from BMW is an all metal design which would make you think it would be fairly robust. However, there are several weak spots in the design that tend to cause leaks. The CSF Race-Spec design reinforces the weak points, especially around the feed and return lines.

CSF’s solid line connection block can handle any abuse thrown at it while the reinforced and braced return tube is rock solid. CSF also upgraded the more fragile Tub/Fin core to a robust and durable Bar/Plate design. The core is 40% larger than the factory unit with 2 additional rows of oil cooling and much thicker core (63mm vs OE 45mm). This offers superior cooling capacity and volume for the oil system. TIG welded end tanks round out the slew of upgrades creating a much stronger connection than the factory brazed construction.

3. B&B Exhaust Midpipe

Developed for the true enthusiast this center x-pipe section for the BMW E60 M5 is precision crafted from 100% CNC mandrel bent 3″ tubing and is a direct bolt on upgrade to either B&B axle back exhaust. The hand fabricated crossover (x-pipe) helps to even out the exhaust pulses resulting in a deeper, smoother exhaust note as well as increased horsepower and torque.

6. CSF Radiators High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator 

The factory radiator for the E60 M5 and E6X M6 are pretty nice all aluminum units. While they have proven to be fairly robust, age and additional power tend to push them over the edge. Owners who have superchargers tend to have the most issues with their radiators. Between the extra heat produced with forced induction and the heat exchanger mounting in front of the radiator, the factory radiator is working overtime. The E6X models are also getting close to 20 years old and entering the “future classic” stage of life with many owners doing restorations and updates. Anyone who has restored/updated an older car knows the value of having upgraded parts that are as efficient as possible.

The CSF radiator features a 2-Row 42mm aluminum core that not only increases the fluid capacity of the radiator, but also improves the cores ability to dissipate heat. CSF’s Exclusive B-Tube Technology increases the heat transfer by approximately 15% over regular oval welded tubes. Between the 6 additional rows of cooling tubes/fins and the thicker 42mm 2 row core, the CSF Radiator will outperform the OEM unit by a significant margin. In addition, the super-efficient multi-louvered fins maximize airflow through the core for the best possible performance. The radiator mounts in the factory location and requires no modifications or cutting.

Part Number: #7218

Product Name: CSF Radiators High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator BMW E60 M5 | E6X M6 2006-2010

Features:

2-Row, 42mm Ultra-High-Performance Core

Cooling Tubes with CSF’s Exclusive B-Tube Technology

6.5mm Tall Ultra Efficient Fins with a Multi-Louvered Design for Maximum Surface Area Contact

CNC Machined Mounting Brackets and OEM Style “Quick Connect” Inlet/Outlet

100% All Aluminum TIG-Welded Construction

Satin Finish

True Plug-and-Play “Drop-in Fit” Installation Requires Absolutely No Modifications

Individually Leak and Pressure Tested

2-Year Limited Warranty

7. KW Suspension V1 Coilover Bundle Kit

With the preset damping paired with vehicle specific spring rates precisely tuned by our engineers, V1 coilovers provide an optimum balance of sportiness and comfort while driving. KW takes the guess work out of setup for you.

8. VR Tuned ECU Flash Tune 

To take the S85 V10 nearer to perfection, the team here at Vivid Racing made a few changes. It started with establishing a baseline and truly testing the limits of the V10, and to our pleasant surprise, it managed to put down 507chp and 384ft/lbs of torque on 91 octane in the arid Arizona heat. However, we knew BMW had left a little bit of room for improvement, and we love improvement. After brunch at the VE table, an otherwise completely factory V10 found an additional 57hp and 43ft/lbs of torque, but that wasn’t all. With our modified ignition mapping and refinement of the throttle response, this E60 felt like a completely different beast. Unfortunately, though, this is as far as we were able to get on our initial session. If you want to pull every last ounce of potential out of your S85 and our VR Tuned Flash Tune, we highly recommend the upgrade to the B&B Axle Back Exhaust and B&B Exhaust Midpipe… but only when you think you can handle it.

Part Number: #VRT-E60-M5

Product Name: VR Tuned ECU Flash Tune BMW M5 E60 E61 V10 2006-2010

Features:

#1 priority is our customer service to you!

The whole fucking planet?

No wonder Dave was hyping him up. This is beyond anything I expected - but I guess it is the next logical step. It makes sense that the future custodians of a universe would learn to personally sculpt their own planets.

It feels like we're finally starting to understand the true potential of a Player. I wonder what sort of god-level abilities the other kids could unlock?

Also.... can the trolls do anything like this? Holy shit.

More wizardfic, perchance?

Dave saw Jade's hell bubble in the Furthest Ring, and decided it was time to consult an expert.

That's the day Jade was 'born', and I'm pretty sure this prophecy is describing her Entry.

Her volcano - the Forge - has just entered a Land of snow, causing it to cool down and grow a 'thick winter skin'. Jade, the waker, is destined to light the Forge, with 'her touch as hot as iron'.

Not sure about the solid flesh, though. It's a quote from Hamlet, but I don't see how it applies to Jade's situation. Hopefully she won't be melting any time soon.

Oh, what? I didn't even notice that this was a Flash page.

Alright, let's check out Jade's Land.

What are we thinking? Land of Hills and Permafrost?

Holy hell, it's the fucking glitch again! I guess we're about to become acquainted with what a glitch Land is like.

AAAAAAAARGH

LOFAF. Bilious Slick continues to taunt me from the shadows.

I assume Kanaya's Land was the same, then. Of course every session would have a Frog Land. I don't know why there was any doubt in my mind about this.

Pairing this revelation with Vriska's earlier comment implies that the Frog Land is usually one of the later planets to enter the session. Kanaya was ninth to Enter, and Jade was the last, so this tracks.

I'm loving the music - and aesthetically speaking, this is my favorite Land so far. It's certainly the planet I'd pick, if I had a choice.

A Green Sun bed's a little on the nose, Bec - but you did catch her, so I'm not complaining.

Hopefully Jade's second trip to the Furthest Ring is less traumatic. Can Feferi at least convince her aunts to stop singing?
