I'm getting a theme of cotton lol. Wanna give the shoe rant?
Context
Ok so two massive problems. Basically my right leg was partially paralyzed first and then my left leg got partially paralyzed as well, so basically the muscles supposed to stablize especially my right knee are completely unavailable. Im an ambulatory mobility scooter / rollator user, so it is possible and useful to me to maintain as much use of my legs as possible, but i CANT laterally stabilize using my knee. But i CAN laterally stabilize using my toes (i mean, my especially right toes are almost completely numb and extremely weak, but i have more use of them than my knee). And normal shoes SQUEEZE YOUR TOES TOGETHER???? Prohibited to use toes to balance???? Not only that, but most shoes have a pretty rigid toe spring, which is when the sole of the shoe curves up, and holds your toes off the ground cuz its somehow supposed to be a better walking gait or something (as if evolution didnt already hone that in)??? Not allowed to even PUT WEIGHT on toes (held off the ground)????? So i am incapable of walking in shoes with a standard toe box or toe spring, i need barefoot shoes for that reason, cuz they dont do that, theyre made to let you use your toes. ( + my feet are very triangle shaped to begin with, the widest part is by far my toes, not the ball of my foot, my heels are like a normal width (so conventional wide shoes are gonna cause heel slipping) but size charts usually have like a 5 size discrepancy between the length of my foot and the width of toes, so that barefoot extra wide toe box is doubly essential for me)
My other big issue with shoes is that my arch doesnt go all the way across, i have reasonably high arches but theyre just on the medial side, the lateral side is the lowest part of my foot, and most shoes have raised arch support going all the across, which hurts sooooo bad. It doesnt render me incapable of walking, but its like… i mean just imagine walking on bars, like narrow ladder rungs barefoot, where all your weight ends up being supported just on the outside of the middle of your foot. Its bad. Barefoot shoes just have no arch support at all, which solves that problem. Tbh im not real sure what purpose arch support is supposed to serve anyway, cuz that part of your foot isnt meant to bear weight, its meant to be a spring, so why raise up the sole to meet it so it is bearing weight and remove spring functionality? I do pronate significantly, thats half just cuz of the paralyzation, but half cuz if shoes are raising up the lowest part of my foot, on the lateral side, of course my foot would roll in, it would have to. But maybe if you dont have the foot anatomy i do arch support would help with pronation? But not everyone pronates, and there are ways to counter pronation that actually work (unfortunately barefoot shoes dont have them, but ill take it as a win to just not make it worse) (ive never tried them, its just my assumption they actually work, cuz they claim to, and arch support doesnt claim to do that afaik)
This last one isnt a conventional vs barefoot shoe thing, but just another thing i hate about shoes in general, is that apparently i have an incredibly high instep? Thats like, the height of your foot. Which also isnt even something thats included in size charts. So almost every shoe i try on i cant actually even get my foot into, cuz theyre just way too flat, they dont have enough vertical space no matter how loose i lace them
Thats my shoe rant i hope you like it :3
Currently my shoes are from a brand on amazon called whitin, which is actually affordable, unlike the flagship barefoot shoe brands, and they actually FIT ME, they dont hinder my ability to walk beyond just their weight (they arent heavier than any other shoes, lifting the weight of shoes is just hard for me), they dont cause pain or anything, actually very decently squishy (not really true barefoot shoes in that regard, which i appreciate. Theyd probably be considered like transition (to barefoot) shoes). Anyway i highly recommend them if you happen to have the same problems as me (i have the high top fleece lined sneakers, so idk if that affects my experience of the squish and lack of heel slipping) (once its warmer i intend to get the non-fleece lined high top sneakers)
#thank you for asking :3#lilac answers#lilac posts#whitin shoes#to clarify im not like sponsored by whitin or anything i just like them

¶ … Donna Genogram The purpose of this genogram is to carry out the health assessment of the client health and wellness. The name of the client is Donna. M, a female patient, aged 49. The patient is a registered nurse, however, her father was no more living, and had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes when he was 60 years and older before he died. Fig 1 reveals the genogram of the patient. Fig 1: Donna's Genogram Her mother is still alive and has been diagnosed with high cholesterol. Moreover, the patient has a living two brothers, two sisters, a son, and two daughters. Her son has been diagnosed with ADHD during her childhood and her daughter has been diagnosed with brain cancer and depression when she was an adolescence. The maternal grandfather was no more living and had kidney disease when he was 60 years of age. The maternal grandmother had died and been diagnosed with Alzhe/Dementia when she was 60 years and older. Moreover, the paternal grandfather had the unknown disease when he was 60 years and above before he died. However, the paternal grandmother was diagnosed with colon cancer when she was between 50 and 59 years of age and was been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. She was above 60 years of age before she died. The patient also has a living maternal uncle who has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. She also had another non-living maternal uncle who had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and Alzhe/Dementia before he died. The paternal aunt is still living with a history of no known disease. Cultural Influences Analysis of the health practices of the client reveals that she does not engage in active physical activities. A recommended healthy practice is to engage in at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week. However, the client engages in zero physical activity. The client personal hygiene is excellent based on her ability to clean her hair regularly. Moreover, the client does not smoke, she also cleans her clothes and nail regularly. Nutrition The client nutritional status is as follows: 114% of whole fruits 109% of vegetables 80% of refined grains 55% of protein, and 59% of cheese & milk.

The client also eats 5 oz. of grain, 2 1/2 cups of vegetables, 2 cups of fruits, 3 cups of dairy and 5 1/2oz. of protein per day. The risk factor of the client nutritional status is that she takes below-recommended protein, grains, and dairy food per day making her facing the risk of being non-resistance to disease by eating below the target daily calorie limit. (Jarvis, 2012). Individual Client Profile Biographical Data The client was 49 years old female patients, married with three children (two daughters and one son).

She also likes taking ice cream and chocolate that reach 428 calories a day. Additionally, the client like eating milk, and chocolate bar reaching 235 calories a day. However, the patient does not indulge in active activity revealing that she faces the risks of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The assessment of the patient reveals that there is an interpersonal relationship between her and the immediate family. (Jarvis, 2012). Perception of Health Donna is a registered nurse and aged 49, Caucasian, a nurse by profession. The patient weighs 160 pounds, and height 5.1." The body mass index is 30.23 and has three children with a living mother and non-living father. The health assessment of the patient reveals there was a history of diabetes in the family because her father was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The patient has also been diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and her non-living uncle has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Moreover, there is a history of Alzhe/Dementia in the family. Additionally, the client does not engage in active physical exercise making her facing the risk of hypertension. The nutritional characteristics of clients are whole fruits, vegetables, refined grains, protein, cheese, and milk. However, the client has the habit of eating vegetables, dairy, fruits, and protein making facing the risk of being non-resistance to disease by taking food that is below the target daily calorie limit. However, the client likes eating a biscuit, buttermilk, and baking powder. She also likes eating cookies, chocolate, vanilla sandwich, ice cream, and milk. Physical Examination General Appearance As being stated in the previous section, the patient's age is 49, however, the client skin color is light red with aging spot. The patient also uses the assisted devices for the movement. Moreover, her facial expression is symmetrical with comfortable eyes contact. Her mood and her spoken English is appropriate to her level of education and age. Moreover, her hearing is 100% with no makeup. Measurement Her weight is 5.1" with height 160 cm. The body mass index is 30.23. Her vision with Snellen eye chart is as follows: The patient wears glasses for the correction of Left eye -- 20/40 and Right eye -- 20/30. Her respiration measurement is 20, 4:1. Her blood pressure of the right arm at a sitting position is 165/110 and left arm in sitting position is 170/115. The measurement of her temperature is 98.2 F making her have a headache. Head and Face Her hair is light brown and curly. Her face looks oval and symmetrical. Her temporal artery is visible. Moreover, the movement of the temporomandibular joint is normal with no tenderness. Her frontal joint is firm and experience no pain. Eyes, Ears, Nose, Mouth (level 2 heading) The patient wears glasses to view all periphery. Moreover, the external structures of the client are parallel to one another. Her conjunctiva is transparent with visible underlying and tiny blood vessels. Moreover, her cornea is smooth with clarity. Her Irish is regular with even coloration. The pupils are blue, equal and regular in both eyes. Moreover, the color of her disc is creamy yellow in color with an oval shape. The artery of her vessels is brighter than a vein. Based on her retinal background, each of her eyes has a pair of veins and arteries. The A: V is 2.3 and asymmetry in the left eye. (Houghton, & Houghton, 2009). Moreover, the patient pinna is bilateral with no swelling, no lesions, and no thickening. More important, the voice test shows that the patient repeats the whispered word. The nose test shows that her external nose is symmetrical, smooth stable and firm. The patency of the client is clear, no swelling and no polyps. The patient lips are pink, moist and smooth. The teeth are white, clean and free of debris. Her gums are pink in color, and margins are tight with no odor. The tongue has pink color with the presence of saliva. The client tonsils are visible, no exudate with 1+. The Uvula rises, the cranial nerves IX, X, rises in the midline. Her tongue, the cranial nerve XII, protrudes in the midline, no deviation to the side and no tremor. Neck and Neck Vessels The neck of the patient has the symmetrical pulsation feature with no lumps. There is no indication of enlargement and tenderness. Her pulse is smooth, moderate and no presence of bruits. There is also no masses and tenderness in her trachea. Moreover, the patient does not experience pain in the muscle of the neck with normal movement from head to shoulder, chin to chest with full ROM resistance. Chest, Posterior, Lateral, and Anterior The test reveals that the thorax of the patient is symmetric with downward sloping ribs. Moreover, scapulae are located symmetrically within each hemithorax. There is no cyanosis and no lesions. The patient does not have any tenderness and limps. The CVA tenderness is not present. Moreover, the breath sounds test reveals that broncho-vesicular, vesicular sounds and the bronchial are indicated. However, the adventitious sounds are not indicated. Heart The test of the patient's heart shows no sign of heave or lift. However, the apical impulse of the patient shows sign of difficulty because the patient is suffering from obesity. The apical rhythm and rate are 95 beats / mins. However, the heart's sounds of the patient are normal with no murmurs. Moreover, no presence of precordium thrills Female/Male Breasts The patient has never performed the self-beast examinations, however, adult women of all ages are advised to perform the self-examination of the breast at least once in 30 days to assist in detecting a sign of cancer before it shows up. When in the shower, it is necessary to move the finger around the entire circular pattern of the breast checking the armpit and breast for a sign of a lump, hardened knot, and thickening. When in the front of the mirror, the patient should raise her hand over her head to look for changes in the nipples, contour, damping of the skin and swelling. The next step is to lie down and spread the tissue of the breast evenly along the chest wall. Place the pillow under the right arm and right shoulder behind the head. Squeeze the nipple to check for lumps, and discharge from the breast. If the patient performs the self-breast test and detects the lump, it is very critical to schedule appointment with her doctor. If the lump is discovered after the self-test, it will be necessary to perform the mammogram. The mammogram is the X-ray image to screen the breast cancer that assists in detecting and decreasing the breast cancer. Thus, the patient will need to undergo a further test with mammogram if the lump of the breast is detected. The mammogram procedure is to compress the breast between 2 plates that are attached to the mammogram machine. The technologist should disallow the breast from moving by compressing the breast which is needed to take a good picture. After the X-ray, the picture will produce a black and white image read by a radiologist or trained doctor to interpret the images. Abdomen & Inguinal Area The findings from the abdominal test reveal that there is a contour, symmetry, which is uniformly rounded. Based on the skin characteristics, the skin of the patient abdomen has the white marks. Moreover, there is umbilicus sunken, and marked pulsation right from the aorta. However, the bowels are normal, and there are no bruits, and vascular sound from the abdomen. There is also scattered dullness over the adipose tissue. The patient liver span is 7 cm, however, the spleen is not greater than 6 cm. The palpation of the abdomen shows no sign of tenderness or mass. The patient also feels no pain during deep palpation. However, it is difficult to palpate the patient kidney, liver, spleen and aorta because the patient is suffering from obesity. The finding of the patient's patient inguinal reveals that her femoral tissue is regular with no bruits, 2+. Moreover, inguinal nodes are absent for any enlargement. Musculoskeletal The findings after carrying out the patient's musculoskeletal test show that the patient's legs are symmetric, however, there is no lesions, no atrophy and no swelling in the skin. The popliteal is difficult and a posterior tibial purse of the patient is difficult to indicate whereas the indication of Dorsalis pedis pulse is 2+. However the patient skin is warm with no edema, and the toes do not contain fungal and no cyanosis. The findings of the patient sit up test reveals 100% full ROM against gravity with no pain, full resistance, no tenderness, however, muscles are functional with no crepitation. The outcome of the findings of the patients' sit up provides no lesion and flexion is 130 degrees where the knees have distinct concavities. The patient's ankles are smooth with prominences of bones, however, and plantar flexion is 45 degrees. The findings of the neurologic test show that the patient is able to feel the test sensation with facial symmetry. Moreover, her movement is smooth with accurate extension, flexion, abduction, adduction, supination and pronation. The patient is able to turn the legs and feet balance with a high level of inversion and eversion. Moreover, the patient is able to keep a balance in a vertical stand even with closed eyes. The patient is also able to identify object correctly, and move the finger to nose with smooth movement. The biceps test reveals normal response with contraction and flexion of forearms and biceps muscles. The Brachioradialis tests show the normal response of the supination and flexion of the forearm. The patient foot flexes test against the hand also produces a normal response. The Babinski reflex also produces normal reflex. Additionally, the patient is able to walk across the room straight, very balanced and with a heel to toes. The patient is also able to maintain posture as well as keeping balance with eyes closed. However, the patient cannot bend the knee because of her obesity. Based on her obesity, her hypertension rate is 30 degrees, lateral bending is 35 degrees and rotation is 30 degrees. Assessment In this section, you are to review and analyze all the data you have collected, including physical examination, the health history, functional assessment, genogram, 24-hour diet recall, cultural influences, and their perception of health. Summarize this information in narrative format. Nursing Diagnoses Based on all of the data you have collected on your client, and utilizing the language of your selected nursing theorist, you are to develop 3 nursing diagnoses, using NANDA. For example Your client runs every day and states pain in left knee to a level 5 after running. NANDA: Acute pain related to running manifested by client stating pain after running. Your diagnoses may be a "risk for" if there are no actual problems identified. For example: On the genogram, you note there is a strong family history of cardiovascular disease, your NANDA might be: Risk for cardiovascular disease related to strong family history. The diagnoses are to be presented to your client as strengths and/or weaknesses in health promotion. For each nursing diagnosis, and consulting with your client, you are to develop a goal, which much be client based and realistic. For example: for cardiovascular risk: the client will develop a nutritional plan to maintain blood pressure within acceptable parameters. Finally, for each nursing diagnosis and goal, you will develop (and consulting with your client) 2-3 nursing interventions that will assist your client in reaching their goal. Assessment The outcome of the patient's health assessment reveals that she eats the balanced diet by eating the whole fruits, vegetables, protein, cheese, and milk. However, an overview of the health of the family reveals that there is a history of diabetes in the family because some member of the family have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which the client is likely to develop because of her obesity. The outcome of the diagnose reveals that the patient faces the risks of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes because of her obesity. Moreover, the patient does not engage in physical exercise to reduce her body mass. The paper recommends that the patient should engage in both aerobic and vigorous physical exercise to reduce the body mass. A physical exercise of 180 minutes per week is recommended for the patient. If the patient is able to reduce body mass through the physical exercise she will be able to solve health problems. Moreover, she should take her blood pressure test regularly to reach the acceptance parameters. Reference Houghton, P. M., & Houghton, T. J. (2009). APA the easy way (2nd. Ed.).

It's easier for a man to give a woman cpr and a woman to give a man cpr..
When a man gives a woman c p, r, they need to do fewer Breath per minute because a woman's lungs are smaller. And when a woman gives a man c p, r, she needs to actually give him more breaths per minute, because the amount of oxygen she takes in to breathe into him is less...
If you don't believe me, you would understand with infants. We have to do only fill our cheeks with air, and it matters from the mother to the child and from the father to the child, whether that's child is a male or female...
So here you will see lung capacity by sex and age and this matters how much oxygen you've need to give them... Paramedics need understand this, but they have to also know heart rate. So you have to give women less per breath, if you're a man, but you have to give them more compressions per minute, then for a man...
Lung capacity varies by sex and age, and is affected by a number of factors, including:
Sex
Men generally have a higher total lung capacity (TLC) than women of the same age and height, except for the 50–59 year age group. This difference is established in the first few years of life, and is likely due to a lower rate of alveolar multiplication in girls.
Age
Lung function variables are generally non-linear with age, plateauing in younger adults and declining after 31–35 years.
Height
Height is the strongest predictor of TLC, followed by lean body mass, weight, and age.
Body changes
As people age, their lungs can experience a number of natural changes that can lead to a decline in lung capacity, including:
Weaker breathing muscles, such as the diaphragm
Loss of elasticity in lung tissue, which can make airways smaller
Smaller rib cage bones, which leave less room for the lungs to expand
Other factors that can affect lung function include BMI and ethnicity.

Abstract. The volume of adult female lungs is typically 10-12% smaller than
https://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&client=ms-android-comcast-us-rvc3&source=android-browser&q=Mung+capacity+by+sex+and+age
So as you see, you need to give women more compressions per minute, then men... But you have to give them smaller Breath, if you're a male giving a female c p, r, but you have to do more compressions per minute. It's the opposite with a woman giving a man.A woman has to give them more Breath per minute, but less compressions per minute...
They need to get a c p.r chart... So it has to be broken down by sex and age... Now, the thing that varies weight. Cause people that are heavier have more blood, and so they need more oxygen to get they're blood.Oxygen levels up... So they have to adjust by weight....
On average, a healthy adult woman's resting heart rate is slightly higher than a man's, with women typically having a heart rate between 78-82 beats per minute compared to men at 70-72 beats per minute; however, both genders generally see their heart rate decrease as they age, meaning younger individuals tend to have a higher resting heart rate than older people.
Key points about heart rate by sex and age:
Gender difference: Women usually have a slightly higher resting heart rate than men.
Age factor: Heart rate naturally decreases with age, meaning younger people tend to have a higher resting heart rate.
Normal range: A typical resting heart rate for most adults falls between 60 and 100 beats per minute.

So as you see here, a male that is, over two hundred pounds is more than likely having six liters of blood, they have much more blood,... So this is another reason, it's tricky to revive somebody because you have to take these variables, height, weight, sex and age the determine blood amount... So this determines also how much oxygen you need to get into the system to get the oxygen levels up to normal, to revive them. And this is why you also have to have an oxygen sensor on them when you're giving cpr... So all first aid kits should carry oxygen sensors.... Because it's a critical component of giving cpr.... Because you can see if you're getting their oxygen levels up or not... So you can adjust the amount of breaths you're giving them and compressions To help, maintain a little oxygen levels, or get them up.You might have to give more breaths and more compressions to raise the oxygen levels to a point where you can revibe them, not enough oxygen, won't revive them.... And this is why people who drowned, you have to do the heinrich, to clear out the lungs of any water before you administer cpr.... This is why drowning victims Are less likely to recover, so you have to do the compression when they're down, pushing up onto their lungs, forcing the water out... Can you might have to do several compressions first before you do cpr.. So it's very important to clear the lungs of water first....
The amount of blood in the human body varies based on age, weight, and sex. An adult male weighing about 200 pounds can have almost 6 liters, or a little over 12 pints, of blood while an adult female weighing about 165 pounds might have 4.3 liters, or about 9 pints, of blood.Jan 12, 2024

So here you are, if somebody swallows vomit in that are any other debris you need to do the heinrich.First, you can do it with them standing up, or you can do it while they're lying down.... But you have to clear the lungs of any debris that blocks oxygen from entering the bloodstream... And this is why so many people who drowned never get revived because giving them oxygen is not going to revive them as Glo died from water on the lungs as well as Conrad died from water on the lungs... Now they could have given them liquid oxygen Intravenously, to go around the lung...
The Heimlich maneuver expels aspirated water, vomitus, debris, and other foreign matter. In treating near-drowning victims, place the victim in the supine position with head turned to the side and perform the Heimlich maneuver to evacuate water from the lungs, unless you know water is not in the respiratory tract.

So if you have sleep apnea, you have to wear an oxygen monitor... We need the monitor your oxygen levels while you're sleeping... And if they fall below a certain level, it should someone, so you wake up and get more oxygen....
So people with sleep apnea are more likely to have a heart attack in general, but they are much more likely to have a heart attack when they're a sleep!!!!!!!
Yes, people with sleep apnea are more likely to have a heart attack:
Reduced blood oxygen levels
When someone with sleep apnea stops breathing, their body's oxygen levels drop. This is due to blocked airways, which can lead to a higher risk of cardiovascular issues.
Stress hormone response
When oxygen levels drop, the body produces epinephrine (adrenaline), a stress hormone. Over time, high adrenaline levels can lead to high blood pressure, damaged blood vessel linings, and clogged arteries.
Heart rhythm problems
Sleep apnea can trigger episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF), an irregular heart rhythm problem.
Increased risk of sudden cardiac death
People with severe obstructive sleep apnea are at a higher risk of sudden cardiac death.
Higher risk of cardiovascular disease
Up to 70% of people admitted to the hospital for coronary artery disease have obstructive sleep apnea.
Early identification and treatment of sleep apnea are key.

No, it's just not having a Cpap machine.It's also monitoring your blood oxygen, making sure you stay in a safe range... So they have to go with a bluetooth oxygen monitor and they can also work with a heart rate monitor as well... Because remember, the heart needs oxygen, the tissue of the heart needs oxygen to survive, and when you don't have enough oxygen in the blood, the heart tissue becomes weaker, and this causes a heart attack..... My boss, larry ward head sleep apnea and he died of a massive heart attack in his sleep....
See, the heart tissue needs a certain level of oxygen, rich blood.Stay healthy if it doesn't.It will have a heart attack... Oh oxygen levels can predict heart attacks.. Because if the heart is the pride of oxygen, meaning not enough for a long enough period it will cause a heart attack....
The heart muscle, or myocardium, requires a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood delivered through the coronary arteries to function properly and stay healthy; without adequate oxygen, the heart tissue can become damaged due to inadequate energy production needed for contraction and relaxation, leading to conditions like ischemia or heart attack if blood flow is significantly reduced.
Key points about the heart's oxygen needs:
Coronary arteries:
These specialized arteries branch off from the aorta to directly supply the heart muscle with oxygenated blood.
Aerobic metabolism:
The heart primarily relies on aerobic metabolism, meaning it needs a consistent supply of oxygen to produce energy for its contractions.
Oxygen demand factors:
Factors like heart rate, contractility, and ventricular wall tension influence how much oxygen the heart needs.
Ischemia:
When blood flow to the heart is restricted, causing a lack of oxygen, it leads to a condition called ischemia, which can damage heart tissue.

Now, as you see here, black men are the worst, and this means they will have higher rates of heart attacks!!!! Then throw on top of it.They have high tendencies for coronary artery disease!!!!
Despite this, Black men had the most severe OSA with a mean apnea hypopnea index of 52.4 ± 39.4 events/hour, compared with 39.0 ± 28.9 in White men, 33.4 ± 32.3 in Black women, and 26.2 ± 23.8 in White women (P < 0.001 for test of homogeneity).Dec 2, 2020
https://www.atsjournals.org › ...
Differences in Symptoms and Severity of Obstructive Sleep ...
Black men are more likely to have severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) than other racial and gender groups:
Severity
Black men have the most severe OSA, with a mean apnea hypopnea index (AHI) of 52.4 events/hour, compared to 39.0 events/hour for White men.
Prevalence
African American adults have a higher prevalence of OSA than non-Hispanic White adults.
Undiagnosed cases
A high percentage of African Americans with moderate or severe OSA go undiagnosed.
Obesity and cardiovascular disease
Black people with OSA are more likely to have obesity and cardiovascular disease.
Other factors that may contribute to sleep apnea include:
Neighborhood environment
Neighborhoods with higher percentages of people of color may have more pollution, noise, and allergens.
Acculturation
The process of adjusting to the dominant culture can be stressful for ethnic groups, especially immigrant communities.
Facial bone structure
Differences in facial bone structure may increase the risk of OSA for Asians.

So now you get black men and women having the highest probability of having a heart attack!!!!
Coronary artery disease and heart attack
Black women are more likely than white women to have a heart attack. Black adults are more likely than white adults to die from a heart attack. Asian adults are less likely than other groups to have coronary artery disease. But there are some differences by ethnicity.
https://my.clevelandclinic.org › ...
Heart Disease Risk: How Race and Ethnicity Play a Role
But as you see here, they say, black men have the highest rate of heart attacks!!!!
According to current medical research, Black men are generally considered to have the highest rate of heart attacks, with Black people across genders experiencing a significantly higher risk of heart disease compared to other racial groups; however, it's important to note that heart disease risk factors can vary greatly based on individual lifestyle and genetics, not solely on race or sex.
Key points to remember:
Race:
Black individuals have a higher rate of heart attacks compared to other races, particularly when considering mortality from heart disease.
Sex:
While men generally have a higher risk of heart attacks than women, the disparity in risk is particularly pronounced within the Black population.

My dad died of a massive heart attack.My boss died of a massive of heart attack!!! They were both white men who were heavy drinkers!!!
So drinking alcohol can negatively impact blood alcohol levels.And so black men having the highest probability of heart attack should be very careful drinking alcohol.So all these blacks that are alcoholics, they're stupid!!!! But as you see this caused my boss and my father heart attacks that were massive and they died instantly literally hearts exploding lack of oxygen!!! So literally the alcohol consumption weakened the heart over a period of time, and it weakened it so much that the heart literally gave out!!!
Alcohol can negatively affect blood oxygen levels in a number of ways, including:
Sleep apnea
Alcohol use can increase the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), which measures how often a sleeper's breathing is restricted or paused. Alcohol can also increase the incidence of arterial oxygen desaturation and disordered breathing during sleep.
Altitude
A study found that people who drank alcohol before sleeping in an altitude chamber had a lower blood oxygen saturation than those who drank alcohol at sea level.
Hypoxia
A study found that alcohol can decrease oxygen saturation during hypoxia by 4%.
Moderate consumption
A study found that moderate alcohol consumption can lower arterial blood oxygen saturation during the early half of sleep.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that healthy people typically have an oxygen saturation between 95% and 100%, and that an oxygen saturation below 90% is cause for concern.

So obesity affects blood oxygen novels, and this makes you more likely to have a heart attack or a stroke!!! Oh, blood oxygen can also cause a stroke!!!
Yes, obesity can affect blood oxygen levels, and some people with obesity may have a breathing disorder called obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS):
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome
This breathing disorder occurs when someone with obesity has too much carbon dioxide and too little oxygen in their blood. It's caused by hypoventilation, which is when someone breathes abnormally slowly. OHS can lead to serious health problems if left untreated.
Reduced lung volumes
Obesity can reduce lung volumes, which can lead to lower oxygen levels.
Increased abdominal pressure
Obesity can increase abdominal pressure, which puts more pressure on the diaphragm and reduces alveolar ventilation.
Limited cardiac and ventilatory reserves
The heart and lungs don't increase in size as much as the body weight increases, which can limit the body's ability to supply oxygen to muscles during exercise.
Treatment for obesity-related low oxygen levels includes oxygen and weight loss.

Low oxygen levels allow plaque to build up an arteries, but not only the arteries, it allows it to build up in the brain as well!!! This is why people that live in areas with higher air pollution have more alzheimer's.Dementia, cognitive impairments had more cardiovascular disease more long issues!!! And so those black guys spinning the cars around in chicago, kicking all the pollution from the burned rubber into the atmosphere, our little killing themselves because they're in a number one candidate for these issues!!! That's why laugh at minorities with pollution.Any minority with pollution are at much higher risk than white people!!!!
Yes, having low oxygen levels in the blood can contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, as a condition called "hypoxia" within the artery wall can trigger inflammatory processes that lead to plaque formation; this is a key component of the "hypoxia theory" of atherosclerosis, which explains how reduced oxygen supply to the artery lining can promote plaque development.
Explanation:
Artery wall damage:
When oxygen levels in the blood are low, the inner lining of the artery can become damaged, creating a site where plaque can accumulate.
Inflammation response:
This damage triggers an inflammatory response, causing white blood cells to migrate to the area and release chemicals that promote the buildup of cholesterol and other substances, forming plaque.
Blood flow disruption:
Plaque buildup can further narrow the artery, reducing blood flow and exacerbating the oxygen deficiency, creating a vicious cycle.
Key points to remember:
Atherosclerosis:
This is the medical term for the buildup of plaque in the arteries, and low oxygen levels are considered a contributing factor.
Carotid artery disease:
This is a common example where low oxygen levels can contribute to plaque buildup, as the carotid arteries supply blood to the brain.
Risk factors:
Conditions like sleep apnea, which can lead to intermittent low oxygen levels during sleep, are associated with increased risk of plaque buildup.

White people are at higher risk, but they're also add an elevated risk.So it's all comparative everybody's at greater risk, but some people are more pushed towards the edge with pollution, then others!!!!
So I worry about mark on fox, thirty two chicago because of his weight!!!
So your brain does not store oxygen does not store oxygen and your brain is a small part of the overall body weight, but eats up 20% plus of the blood oxygen and it needs a steady flow of blood oxygen. It is a pig. The brain is a pig. When it comes to oxygen, it needs steady flows of oxygen and lots of it. The brain needs lots of fresh clean oxygen!!! Your brain is an oxygen pig.It eats a lot a lot a lot a lot of oxygen... And pollution deprives it and children developing will suffer because there'll be underdeveloped, and this is my india has a range from seventy two I q to a hundred and twenty... And pollution is massively affecting them.China is doing everything that clean up their pollution... The japanese have the highest I q, and they're very, very pollution.Sensitive, they keep a very clean environment.Japanese people are ultra clean!!! Japan is one of the cleanest countries, if not the cleanest country in the world! And their average, I q is basically a hundred and seven and growing...
Your brain's a real oxygen hog. It's a small part of your body weight, but it uses 20% of your oxygen. It can't store the oxygen, so it needs a steady flow of blood to work well. Brain cells start to die if they go without oxygen for just 3-4 minutes -- and that's exactly what happens during a stroke.Feb 29, 2024
https://www.webmd.com › ...
Stroke: What Happens in Your Body When Oxygen Gets Cut Off
Yes, low blood oxygen levels can cause a stroke. A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is stopped, which means the brain isn't getting enough oxygen. Brain cells can start to die if they don't receive oxygen for as little as 3–4 minutes.
Brain hypoxia is a medical emergency that occurs when the brain doesn't receive enough oxygen, even though blood is still flowing. Other causes of brain hypoxia include drowning, suffocation, and cardiac arrest.
Symptoms of low blood oxygen levels include:
Shortness of breath
Headaches
Restlessness
Dizziness
Rapid breathing
Chest pain
Confusion
High blood pressure
A healthcare provider can order tests to assess how lack of blood flow is affecting the brain, such as an angiogram, CT scan, MRI, electroencephalogram (EEG), or evoked potentials test.

So as you see above, low blood oxygen can cause a stroke...
I disagree with this because areas That have the highest rate of air pollution also have the highest rate of dementia and alzheimer's in other cognitive issues because it prevents oxygen from going into the brain in the brain is a hog for oxygen.... And as plaque builds up in the brain it limits the amount of oxygen that gets to the brain tissue but low oxygen contributes to the buildup of plaque and then the plaque further contributes to depriving areas of the brain from blood oxygen... So it's a compounding effect!!!
No, low blood oxygen does not cause plaque to build up in the brain, but plaque buildup in the brain can reduce blood flow and oxygen to the brain:
Plaque buildup
Also known as atherosclerosis, plaque buildup is caused by a buildup of cholesterol, calcium, and other cellular components in the arteries. This buildup can narrow the arteries and make it difficult for oxygen and nutrients to reach the brain.
Low blood oxygen
Low blood oxygen, or hypoxemia, can damage the brain and heart if it persists over time. Acute cases of hypoxemia can be fatal.
Brain conditions
Plaque buildup in the brain can lead to a number of conditions, including:
Transient ischemic attack (TIA): Also known as a "mini-stroke", a TIA is a temporary loss of brain function.
Stroke: A stroke can be caused by a blockage in the arteries or by a piece of plaque breaking off and traveling to the brain.
Vascular dementia: Plaque buildup can cause cognitive decline beyond the normal aging process. Symptoms include slowness of thought, difficulty with planning, and problems with memory and language.

So this is what black people don't understand and this is why they have all this violence in africa a lot of it is pollution driven areas with higher pollution levels.People are more violent!!! Cognitive impairment caused by pollution can drive violence!!!! Because it affects the higher sense of reasoning to control the sense of rage, and when you dampen the higher reasoning centers, you have less controlled over rage and black people live in cities in areas and cities with incredibly high pollution levels and they have suppressed cognitive abilities.And this is where magic johnson failed the black community.He made schools in chicago.Filthier, black schools have to be very, very clean and should have air purifiers!!!! 👍 Yes, they should have air purifiers in schools to help with learning!!!
Yes, studies have found that areas with higher levels of air pollution are associated with worse cognitive function and a higher risk of dementia:
Study
Findings
WHICAP
Participants in areas with higher air pollution levels had lower cognitive scores and faster cognitive decline over time
U.S. women
Women exposed to higher levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) were at higher risk of cognitive decline and dementia
Older adults
Older adults living in areas with higher PM concentrations had worse cognitive function
Brain scans
People living in areas with worse air quality were more likely to have a build-up of amyloid in their brains
Brain tissue
Donors who lived in areas with higher levels of traffic-related air pollution showed more plaques related to Alzheimer's disease
China
Long-term exposure to air pollution impaired cognitive performance in verbal and math tests
Air pollution can affect the brain directly and indirectly. For example, inhaled particles can travel through a nerve from the nasal cavity into the brain, and chemical markers of brain inflammation can increase.

So as you see above higher rates of cognitive issues like dementia and alzheimer's, and that because air pollution blocks air consumption and you have lower blood oxygen levels, and they creates plaque in the brain and then if further compounds to all kinds of negative brain incidents, and this creates lots of mental health issues.And this is why black people have the highest level of mental health problem!!!
Conclusion. WHICAP participants living in areas with higher levels of ambient air pollutants have lower cognitive scores at enrollment and more rapid rates of cognitive decline over time. In NOMAS, a smaller cohort with fewer repeat measurements, we found no statistically significant associations.

And this is why keep on telling them to clean up chinatown, and they don't understand areas with higher levels of pollution have higher levels of crime, mostly higher levels of violent crime!!!! 🤔 So people are triggered like black people are more triggered than ancient people, and so they do more violence and more crime in dirty areas. In chinatown, being dirtier negatively impacts black people when they come in there, and they do more criminal activity because of the pollution!!!! But also, it's causing all kinds of cognitive issues with the people in chinatown, as I was with a chinese doctor who lived in chinatown and both the male and female who she was taken care of which were family members, both had cognitive issues because of high levels of pollution!!!!
The results suggest that exposure to elevated levels of air pollution is associated with increased crime rates. In our fixed effects specification, we find that an additional 10 Air Quality Index (AQI) points increase the crime rate by 1.2%, and experiencing an AQI of above 35 leads to 3.7% more crimes.
https://www.journals.uchicago.edu › ...
Crime Is in the Air: The Contemporaneous Relationship ...
Yes, areas with higher levels of pollution have higher levels of violent crime:
Air pollution and violent crime
Research suggests that air pollution can increase violent crime, including homicide, assault, and battery. For example, a study of Chicago Police Department data found that violent crime increased 2.2% in areas with temporarily increased air pollution. Another study found that a 10% increase in PM2.5 exposure was associated with a 0.14% increase in violent crime.
Mechanism of action
Air pollution may cause people to become more irritable, impulsive, and aggressive, which can lead to more violent crime.
Effect on different types of crime
Air pollution doesn't seem to increase non-violent crimes, such as burglary, robbery, larceny, arson, and grand theft auto.
Effect on different income groups
The effect of air pollution on crime may be unevenly distributed across income groups.
Effect on different temperatures
The effects of air pollution on crime may differ depending on the temperature. For example, the effects of PM2.5 may be largest at lower temperatures, while the effects of ozone may be largest at higher temperatures.

Roosevelt & michigan because of bear stadium, it has ungodly amount of pollution and I told you.Remote parking is very good, so getting people.Not the park around the stadium or lately, field or socks, park, or any of them and doing remote parking spreads out the pollution and minimizes the pollution.So again, remote parking spreads the wealth and lowers pollution levels in all stadium, sitting courage, people to remote park!!!!! So yes, that area led to my health decline not only distress, but the stress compounded with increased pollution levels!!!! And thank God, Jen was clean. It was like falling off a mountain moving into this house where it was filthy. And then the guy who did the bathroom f****** unbelievably. Left all kinds of f****** dirt.He f****** made this place when he redid.The bathroom unbelievable f****** pig pen!!!! He was supposed to put up coverings, preventing the spread of dust. He was supposed to use vacuum systems, removing the dust from the room. As he did construction, all of that detrimental, and then my brother in putting me in that environment, worsen my, he increase my stress, cutting off my Hey, and then yelling and screaming at me every day and then me cleaning the environment and him being pigots.In comparison!!!!! So he screwed me massively, I already had issues, and he just pounded on me and then moving here, I compounded my issues I was never supposed to be in this f****** f****** pink pen place!!!! And you took away my f****** money. He's going to kill you.I've been trying to get out of this f****** shithole!!!!!
Generally, the side of a city with the most air pollution is usually the side with higher traffic density, industrial areas, and proximity to major highways; this often means the "downwind" side depending on prevailing wind patterns, which can concentrate pollutants in certain neighborhoods.
Key points to consider:
Traffic congestion:
Areas with heavy traffic tend to have higher levels of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides due to vehicle emissions.
Industrial zones:
Areas with factories and industrial facilities often release pollutants like sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, contributing to higher pollution levels.
Topography:
The layout of the city, including hills and valleys, can affect how pollutants disperse, leading to higher concentrations in certain areas.
Wind direction:
The prevailing wind direction can carry pollutants from one side of the city to another, impacting which areas experience the most pollution.

The South and West Sides of Chicago have the most air pollution, particularly in areas with major highways and high concentrations of industry.
Here are some details about air pollution in Chicago:
West Side
A Northwestern University study found that the western edge of Chicago, including neighborhoods like North and South Lawndale, East Garfield Park, Archer Heights, and Brighton Park, has up to 32% higher concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) air pollution than the rest of the city.
Irving Park and Avondale
These neighborhoods have consistently high PM2.5 readings, with one sensor located above the Kennedy Expressway, where over 190,000 cars and trucks travel daily.
Highways
NOx and particulate matter levels are worst along highways, regardless of the season or weather.
Ozone
Ozone levels are highest over Lake Michigan and in rural communities, and are particularly high during warmer months.

To determine which side of a city has the most contaminated drinking water, you need to consider factors like the location of industrial sites, older plumbing systems, proximity to landfills or agricultural areas, and the direction of groundwater flow, which can vary significantly depending on the city's geography; generally, the side of the city closer to potential sources of contamination like industrial zones or older pipes is more likely to have more contaminated drinking water; however, this is not always the case and requires specific information about the city in question.
Key points to consider:
Industrial areas:
Areas near factories or industrial sites are at higher risk of water contamination due to potential chemical spills or waste disposal issues.
Older infrastructure:
Older pipes can corrode and leach contaminants like lead into the water supply.
Groundwater flow:
The direction of groundwater movement can influence where contaminants travel.
Local water reports:
Check your city's official water quality reports to see specific contamination levels in different areas.

Amid crypto markets seeing slight recoveries from massive sell-offs, recent chart analyses reveal a potential uptrend for the king of cryptos, with it potentially skyrocketing to $31,000.Let’s take a close look.BTC Price ForecastBitcoin’s price movement is catching everyone’s attention. Ali Martinez, a renowned cryptocurrency expert, has shared insights from a 3-day Bitcoin chart. This chart hints at a buying opportunity, thanks to the TD Sequential indicator. If Bitcoin gains more traction and buying interest rises, we could see it soaring toward two possible heights: either $28,000 or even as high as $31,000.#Bitcoin 3-day chart hints at a buy signal by the TD Sequential. A boost in $BTC buying pressure might drive prices to the channel's mid or upper boundary — targeting $28,000 or $31,000. Still, watch the TD Risk Line at $24,500. It's the key invalidation point. pic.twitter.com/cCqIvcRJDs— Ali (@ali_charts) September 17, 2023 But not so fast! Before getting too swept up in the excitement, traders should be wary of the TD Risk Line, specifically around the $24,500 mark. According to Martinez, this is a crucial point that validates the predictions. So, traders, be sure to have this on your radar.A Big Week AheadThe forthcoming week is jam-packed with events that could sway Bitcoin’s value. The top highlight is the Federal Reserve’s announcement on Wednesday, September 20th. Everyone is eagerly awaiting their word on the Federal Funds Rate, which stands at 5.50% currently.Alongside, market enthusiasts will be keenly observing the FOMC Economic Projections and Statement. And let’s not forget the FOMC Press Conference. Any tilt in the Fed’s tone—whether leaning towards caution or confidence—could cause ripples not only in the regular markets but also influence crypto dynamics.Switch gears to Thursday, September 21st, when all eyes will turn to the release of Unemployment Claims data. Word is out that analysts are forecasting a minor hike to 222k from the prior 220k. This data might seem unrelated, but it could potentially play a role in the crypto world’s sentiment.Bitcoin Price Right NowIn recent developments, Bitcoin pleasantly surprised many by surpassing its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA), settling at $26,228 on September 14. This suggests that the downtrend is losing steam. For now, Bitcoin seems cozy, likely sticking between $24,800 and $28,143. But a word to the wise: if the bears decide to stir things up and push Bitcoin’s price below its 20-day EMA, it’s a signal that higher values are being offloaded, potentially revisiting the strong $24,800 support line.At press time, Bitcoin was worth $26,682.!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments); if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)(window,document,'script', ' fbq('init', '887971145773722'); fbq('track', 'PageView'); Source

Neptune aspecting Mercury and Venus
(Continuation of my post “Neptune aspecting the Sun and Moon”)
Mercury aspecting Neptune
Mercury is representative of deductive reasoning, of communication and learning, of exchange of information and social interaction. Mercury is essentially representative of the mental faculties, the ability to draw conclusions based on the gathering of information. Mercury represents the intellect, the most commonly applied tool for understanding and navigating the world around the self. It’s the tool that makes connections, that defines and discriminates. The intellect is a divisive mechanism that breaks things down and distinguishes every little part to discover its function and purpose within the whole.
Mercury aspecting Neptune often lends itself to a very creative mind and an ability to articulate and communicate nuances. It also seems to lend itself to a vivid imagination – an ability to paint a picture with words or portray an archetypal energy through mimicry and acting. The conjunction is the most intense of the aspects and the benefits as well as the debilitations are felt more acutely. While Mercury-Neptune has the ability to “enchant” with words and easily navigate the world of imagery and fairytales, the real world void of magic can be less easy to navigate. Taylor Swift has the conjunction and she’s a great example of someone who is a storyteller through songwriting. She essentially takes the interactions of her everyday life and turns it into magic – something that is universal and appeals to people world wide. Music has the ability to glamorize the most dull and ordinary and elevate it to new heights. There’s a might to music and it speaks to people on the feeling level. Music, movies and theater for that matter have the goal to affect people, to mirror their inner life and strike a note on some level of the psyche. Mercury-Neptune comes with the risk of being easily affected by words and a tendency to read into things more than necessary. Sometimes the meaning of another person’s words can be distorted and made to fit the person’s own preferred narrative. This is a huge problem, especially for the conjunction - sometimes words that actually carry weight can be made out to mean anything. Furthermore, in overlooking the concrete – that which is spelled out loud and clear, there door is wide open to make mistakes and blunders when tending to details, and in real life this can have dire consequences. Reading too much into things or not reading enough into things seems to be the problem. Neptune refines whatever planet it touches and this can make for a real ability to work with subtleties, but the more subtle something is, the less dense and concrete it is. The more sensitive the instrument, the more susceptible it is to suggestion and manipulation. Fantasy and imagination is inextricably merged with the intellect with this aspect.
The trine and the sextile aspects from Neptune to Mercury similarly lends themselves to a feeling for subtlety when communicating and thinking. The trine is more of a natural modus operandi while the sextile is more of a skill that can be used and activated through conscious cooperation. Mercury-Neptune can potentially cause a propensity for lying, not because of a need for a control but because of a natural tendency to distort information. This is as true for the conjunction as the trine, while the sextile might take some deliberation. The tendency to convey information in the most romanticized and creative fashion might border on lying because it leaves people with no grasp of the cold and hard facts. Mercury-Neptune is not good with the plain, cut and dry message transferring – these people thinks in images and imbue everything they convey with a touch of story-telling.
The square from Neptune to Mercury, seems to make the native very serious in creative pursuits. There’s effort and strain that is required because of conflict felt between the intellect and the vault of dreams and fantasy. Usually, the native displays criticism of their work and is skeptically inclined toward their own influence or the value of their own artistic pursuits. Amy Winehouse had the square in her chart and she was quite hard on herself although the public loved her. Even in people who aren’t pursuing an artistic path, the Mercury –Neptune square will cause the person to undervalue any talents and dreams that they have, yet be pressed to develop and fulfill them. David Bowie is also a great example of this type of person – on the one hand there’s nebulousness and chaotic creativity, on the one hand there’s analyzing and mental discernment that is unforgiving. Donald Trump also has the square, quite the business man, yet he’s not someone who is able to stick to the purely factual– he manufactures his own story, his own narrative that people, to a large extent, wants to buy. He speaks to the masses and moves them emotionally, some say he’s profoundly stupid, some says his wits are underestimated. This is typical of the square, there’s tension between the two planets and one cannot take credit for both ends. Either one sacrifices Mercury and looks mad and deranged, or one sacrifices Neptune and appears overly critical and rational – even cold and unfeeling.
The opposition aspect is in turn linked to extremism – the native must try to balance intellectual discernment with emotional receptivity. Too much of one thing will be to the detriment of the other. While the square produces conflict and tension, the opposition can give the ability to abandon one planet in favor of the other. Yoko Ono has this aspect and she has obviously been a big advocate of peace and love (Neptune), sometimes to the detriment of rhyme and reason. She has suggested that “direct communication” is the only way to true communication, but of course, this is only possible in the womb, if even then. The great gift of the opposition is the ability to abandon reason, to experience everything and hold onto nothing, to not label and impose judgment. However, it’s not difficult to see the consequences for this sacrifice.

Venus aspecting Neptune
Venus is representative of love and beauty, of femininity and sociability. The planet is linked to that which is of value, worthy of display and admiration. It also has something to do with preferences, style and talent. Venus is the one attracting Mars, that instigates desire, that draws him in. That which instigates our desire is powerful because it dictates action. Venus has a lot to do with money because it’s a marker and a measure of value – and people want to have as much as possible of it in order to be comfortable and socially desirable. Venus also has to do with partnership and marriage, and in order to catch someone’s eye, one has to be beautiful and appealing.
Neptune conjunct Venus is truly the height of love. While Venus is more personal and more social in nature, Neptune is the collective urge for redemption, the pull to touch something sacred. Neptune in us wants it all, the magic of enchantment that belongs to fairytales. Ordinary human love, which is more about feeling esteemed within a social context and desired for specific qualities, is not cutting it. With these planets conjunct, the person craves the total submerging with the one and only beloved in one’s heart and in other people’s hearts. Neptunian love is based on the mutual longing for something eternally blissful, the garden of Eden, the ultimate escape. This longing exist in all human beings to a larger or lesser extent, but it certainly unifies us and in some ways confirm our basic vulnerability and need for redemption. When Neptune and Venus are conjunct it would seem as if the person is very compassionate and understanding of people’s hearts. No doubt one can be very soothing and able to see the beloved one in all people one meets, which can be wonderful but also overwhelming and exhausting. The person is certainly capable of being accepting of all people, even to the point of allowing things that shouldn’t be allowed. Disillusionment can dawn brutally on these types since they have strong investment in the pure and untainted love that can only be kept alive in fantasy. These planets aspecting each other is a setup for being in love with love. Love for these types might not be about a specific person, they might seek out someone for their ability to mirror them. In other words, it would be difficult to love a person for their individuality because one would seek out someone with enough receptivity and mutability in order to find something of oneself in the other. Of course, this seems to be the nature of love despite Venus aspecting Neptune or not. We only ever fall in love with ourselves, although we’re unconscious of the fact. The only reason we’re ever drawn to someone is because we see something of ourselves in them. For people with Venus-Neptune contacts this phenomenon is taken to new heights. Liking and being fond of something yet knowing that that person or thing is different from oneself is entirely different from feeling a sense of union and yearning that is the oceanic deity calling a person home. With Neptune, the love object is the answer to all prayers and the remedy for all one’s troubles and pains. This is of course never quite true and the disappointment that follows upon the clearing of the intoxicating mist can be very scary and deeply depressing. Personal love, marriage and commitment might be idealized to the point of absurdity.
The trine and the sextile aspects are less intense compared to the conjunction, but they similarly denote a refined taste and a appreciation of artistry and music – anything that touches people’s souls inexplicably and profoundly. Typically, all Venus-Neptune aspects indicate a need to be loved unconditionally and to love unconditionally. Both of these harmonious aspects denote a very compassionate nature and a tendency to idealize and glamourize love. One is naturally very generous with one’s outpouring of affection, even when one’s own heart is broken. The trine indicates that the person is innately and naturally mirroring other people’s beauty. Escapism and distortion of reality is one’s way of being, it is not an acquired skill but rather something that’s a given. It’s probably easy to over-indulge in pleasure in order to escape the dreary everyday existence. In fact, when things get too hard, this is exactly what this type is likely to do. The sextile is more of a skill that is available for use. In other words, one is able to stimulate a bit of Neptune’s magic and universality in one’s style of expressing love – adding a bit of glamour, unattainability and fantasy in the mix. Conscious cooperation is required though, it’s not as if the sextile is going to cause over-indulgence as soon as one lets go of inhibitions.
The square aspect typically brings doubt and friction, when Neptune and Venus are involved, the conflict is between one’s personal value(s) and the recognition of oneness. Usually, the ugly side of Neptune comes out more readily. One wants to attain something special and magical but since one is not attuned enough or certain of one’s own preferences and values neither planet gets fulfilled or satisfied. Kim Kardashian has this square and she is never quite satisfied with her appearance (Venus), which is why she spends to much time perfecting it. She wants so badly to embody the ideal (Neptune) yet can’t seem to close the gap between her own personal look and the otherworldly refinement that Neptune represents. What ends up happening is that she becomes too artificial, some would even call her grotesque – she simply can’t find peace with imperfection – everything has to be sweet and pretty to the point that the coin flips and everything turns ugly. Although Neptune is usually associated with spirituality and the beauty of the divine, it is also associated with dissolution and disintegration – which often manifests as madness. Kim Kardashian has many times been rude or downright aggressive because of her vanity and venusian pride. Madonna also has this square and she certainly falls in the category of people who care enormously about their appearance, being attractive and young even up until old age. Venus is the goddess of youth and beauty and Neptune holds the promise of redemption through the planet(s) that it aspects. It’s easy to see how this square relationship between the planets could run amok. If youth is the gate to heaven, one would be willing to go very far in order to not let the imperfections stop heaven from becoming a reality. When it comes to love and relationships there’s inevitability of disappointment and uncertainty – one tends to look for the perfect partner yet no one can be it all in terms of fulfilling the dream because the standards are set too high. On the flip side, the standards can also be too low, because of the Neptunian tendency is to either be unrealistically idealistic or stubbornly accepting and passive in destructive situations.
The opposition aspect doesn’t typically bring out the obsession with perfect love and beauty. It makes the individual aware that love, in it’s selfish guise of wanting another person or object tied to the self in some way because of good looks and style, is antithetical to universal love. In a sense, personal love must be sacrificed for communion with the source of life, that which many people call God – or, God must be sacrificed for ordinary human seduction, value and pleasure. These are the people who are only looking to touch the source of life through love and union, nothing more. They’re not looking to simple hedonistic pleasures or superficial adornments. If they do, they’re doing it at the detriment of true compassion and communion with all of life. George Harrison had this opposition in his chart and so had Bob Marley. Both were musicians, both used drugs and both had a deep urge for spirituality. Both emphasized the importance of the connection with God and pointed out the triviality of worldly matters. Venus, is to an extent, quite earthy and materialistic. She cares about being nice, looking nice and behaving in a way that causes others to admire her. It seems like Harrison lost his first marriage because of incessant drug use and infidelities. Neptune is boundless and is everywhere and anywhere – there was no way Venus, ruling marriage and social contracts, could conquer the pull of the promise of ecstatic union. With the opposition, either special partnership/marriage or God is the pursuit, neither can exists in conjunction with the other.

For your Shooting Stars AU, have you given descriptions of the alien species on the ship? maybe the main crew members if there are too many. Also! I know humans are the smallest (soon to be known) intelligent species but can you give an average height chart of the other species on the ship (plus human for reference)?
:O you're right, I haven't given descriptions yet! I definitely have them though :D
Some of them are actually the same kind of alien, so I'll do them in groups. The name of the alien species aren't set yet, but it's what I'm calling them for now.
Faunians: Tubbo, Dream, Puffy.
- these are aliens that look sort of like a cross between goat and sheep hybrids. They're actually one of the few sentient mammal type species. They have a wooly fur instead of hair, and have goat like legs with hooves, like a Faun would. Their hands are also hooflike, although they have four separate fingers and are able to grab things. They all have horns, goat type noses, and square pupils. Their teeth are also different, basically being a mouth entirely full of molars. (Puffy and Dream are actually related. Though Tubbo is the same species as them, he's not related.)
Phantoms: Wilbur
- more of an insect type alien, with most of their torso having an exoskeleton. Their limbs are slightly translucent, and they have a wispy hair like substance on their head that functions like antennae. They're nocturnal, and have sharp, needlelike teeth. Their eyes are completely black, and they don't have ears, they hear by sensing vibrations with their antenna/hair. They have a tail for balance that has flaps on the end that look like the wings of a minecraft phantom. Their hands and feet are tipped with sharp claws.
Shifters: Quackity, Slimecicle
- shifters are exactly what they sound like. They're sort of a globular mess of very unstable cells in their regular form. They can change their shape to imitate pretty much any life form, although they can't mimic size or any more specialized characteristics like better night vision or speed. Just the basic form. Quackity tends to hang out in a form that's a cross between faunian and phantom. (ironically, he looks the closest to human of the bunch.) Slime tries, but he's usually very goopy, and only his face is consistently solid.
Creepers: Sam
- creepers are plant based aliens. Sam has a mouth, but he actually photosynthesizes to eat. If creepers get too agitated, they produce a flammable gas from their bodies. This causes occasional explosions. Creepers have six limbs, two pairs to walk on, and one pair as arms. Their bodies are mostly a mottled mossy green.
Totems: Foolish
- totems were once a sea dwelling species, and they are still fully capable of living in the water, although they aren't as built for swimming as they used to be. Their bodies are very solid and dense, with only their heads having water dwelling characteristics. Their heads aside from their faces are shark like, but their faces look like totems. They still have sharp teeth, similar to a sharks, but less jagged more curving. They have two pairs of eyes, one on the side of their head on the shark part and one on the front of their faces. They have tails that look very aquatic, but aren't enough to make them super fast swimmers. They can breathe underwater, but aren't very good swimmers.
And an extra one:
Demons: Badboyhalo
- Bad isn't technically part of the crew, but he might come up later in the story, so I'll add him. Demons are the largest aliens, the tallest up to nearly 160 feet. Their entire bodies are coated in a fine black fur, and they have three pairs of eyes, each for something different. (one for movement, one for color and detail, one for heat vision.) They have two pairs of arms, a double tail, and horns.
Now onto heights!
I'll basically just be going from tallest to shortest lol.
Aliens
---------
Bad: 152 ft
Foolish: 143 ft
Sam: 140 ft
Wilbur: 132 ft
Dream: 121 ft
Tubbo: 118 ft
Puffy: 113 ft
Quackity/Slime: ??? Their heights fluctuate depending on what form they're taking. They're usually around the same height range, it just depends on how much of their mass is being used where. Quackity tends to hang around Tubbo's height, and Slime fluctuates anywhere from Foolish to Puffy's height.
Humans
-----------
Ranboo: 6'6
Techno: 6'2
Tommy: 6'0
Phil: 5'11
For comparisons, if Wilbur were human sized, Ranboo would be about 4 inches to him and Phil would be a little over 3.
So far, the smallest recognized sentient life are fox hybrid type creatures that I just now thought of and don't have a name for yet. (Fundy, essentially.)
Their size ranges from about 70-85 feet. Fundy would be about 80 ft, which in comparison to Wilbur again, is about 3'8".
So humans are the smallest by a long shot. The fox aliens were considered unusually small for sentient life already. It doesn't even cross Wilbur or Tubbo's minds at first that the humans could be sentient.

This is a formal letter to give you an excuse to confess to us all your Dad Jeanist hopes for the manga. (If you have any!)
Oh no! I suppose I have no choice but to word vomit now!
Instant Crediting/Discrediting of Hawks/Dabi respectfully.
I'm not sure how many people may have forgotten this detail in the manga, but it's possible no one in Jeanist's circle knows where he is right now. Not his sidekicks, and presumably not any friends, family or even among heroes in general (we'll get confirmation of this next chapter, I think); and that's very public knowledge.
That means that people will be reeling from Dabi's claim that Hawks killed him, and they'll be forced to believe it for a bit. However, once he does his dramatic hair-combing on national television people will immediately pay attention (and probably be terribly confused but also relieved) which will give him a chance to address the public calmly.
Jeanist's well-groomed public facing philosophy.
It's interesting that Jeanist seems to have a similar philosophy of managing public opinion by keeping an eye on trends in culture and counterculture and then presenting himself accordingly as Hawks does. He believes in maintaining a proper, put-together image for people to feel at ease; and the public is going to need that attitude - even if he winds up roughed up - to find a grip on reality again and move forward with a unified vision even when factions of opinion and allegiance inevitably splinter off.
And that brings me naturally to some interesting notes under:
Similar approaches to hero work between Hawks and Jeanist
Jeanist doesn't leave loose ends and won't waste an opportunity for excellence even in "mundane" matters. He isn't about glory or hard work as much as good work which is difficult to do consistently.
I find myself comparing this to Hawk's tendency to view every detail of his work as having potential, from making public appearances with Endeavor as an excuse for the Nomu fight to stealing the kids' save in their internship to give them an edge in the upcoming fight.
Jeanist is constantly vigilant. He's prepared to assess a situation quickly and act immediately because fractions of a second can be the difference between life and severe harm, if not death. This ends up being the thing to save the other heroes on the scene with AFO.
An emphasis on speed, precision, and quirk mastery over power. Jeanist's quirk is not necessarily inherently "hero material" until he puts his own creativity, experience, and training behind it - making the man more valuable than his quirk and hard training to achieve the heights he has is a must. He also won't back down even when he's outmatched as no smart effort is wasted effort in his eyes.
And finally there's this little interesting quirk that's blink and you'll miss it unless you take into account how many times it's brought up.
Character reformation. He takes a particular interest in wayward youth, apparently, and seeks to send them on the straight and narrow; but from what I understand of the original Japanese tone, this also applies to villains as per his conversation with Hawks in his home.
And that brings me finally to:
Speculations about Hawks and Jeanist's relationship
We know that Hawks and Jeanist are acquainted at least. It's unclear for how long, but they've been in close proximity on the billboard chart for presumably years. Any details past this are speculation, but depending on the history these two have it could be the main reason for Hawks to go to him for this covert operation and not just because BJ was the next biggest fish in the pond.
I also wonder on that note about reformation because it's possible Jeanist saw Hawks as fitting both the "wayward youth" and "villain" group in that Hawks saw himself as a villain (by proxy thanks to his father's sins) in need of reform through good deeds and thus took him under his own metaphorical wing. That is, of course, if BJ was ever actually privy to that highly privileged information.
(P.S. in light of the latest chapter development, I interpret this line "That's too bad" to be in reference to Jeanist's desire to be public facing so he can reform villains again, especially when coupled with the next page's thoughts from Hawks, "Don't let a man's resolve go to waste" meaning, "Don't let BJ's inability to come back be for nothing.")
Hopes for the future
Blah blah blah, talk to the public, quell panic, blah blah blah; but I also want to see how BJ specifically manages the heroes as well.
We don't know how many heroes knew what was going on with his disappearance. His return will likely come as just a shock for them as well. Depending on how long Hawks in unconscious, it'll be up to BJ to explain things, which will again be important to re-establish Hawk's credibility on their side as well.
I feel like he'll also take a special interest in helping oversee the kids as well, knowing that they'll be especially shaken and in need of a confident hand to guide them after this mess. Should this include Hawks, BJ will be in a position to help him rehabilitate his quirk or learn to function without his wings depending on where Horikoshi wants to go with the story.

@sapphic-alcina-dimitrescu
Name: Haley
Age: 27
Pronouns: They/She
Gender Identity: Non-binary
Race:Tiefling
Color: Lavender
Horns: Two small Black Horns jutting from her forehead
Sexual Orientation: Sapiosexual Polyamorous
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 170 lbs (due to her arm and leg being mechanical)
Eyes: A fiery orange
Hair: Jet black pixie cut
Skills and abilities: Battle Forge Artificer-A mechanical genius, they know how to fix and build just about anything. They have a companion named Pegs.
Pegs: Aeorian Warforged model automaton who functions as Haley’s defender and assistant. Mainly fights with melee, but also can shift his arm into a cannon and fire at enemies from a distance with fireballs. Their strength is much more than that of most humans. Can communicate to a fairly decent degree.
Gunslinger: Haley is also an experienced sharpshooter and a master of any gun imaginable. Her master creation, besides Pegs, is her Aeorian Multitool, lovingly named Bella. Bella can shift between a Winchester lever action rifle, dual revolvers, a minigun, a shotgun, and a grapple gun, all of which can switch between incendiary rounds, acid coated rounds, cryo rounds, and chaos rounds.
Personality: They’re a perfectionist. They cannot leave a project without feeling like it’s done right. They’re also kind of a ditz in the most affectionate sense of the word. Their short term memory is a nightmare though. They can get so enraptured with someone or something that they cannot remember for the life of them what they were doing beforehand. They love a fight even if they prefer to fight at a range.
Backstory: Haley never had a last name. They were born an orphan when their family was attacked when they were very young by slave traders. The traders took them to a weapon forge and they grew up learning everything there was to know about mechanical engineering, becoming a prodigy in the process.
As they grew up, they lived in this dismal cave deep underground with the rest of these indentured servants and never knew sunlight. They were tasked with forging weapons and armor for the Jagentoth crime syndicate and Haley learned everything they could from each person they worked with, but slowly, they began to build a plan.
Year after year, Haley slowly took armor and pieces of machinery from their forge and started to construct an automaton away from the prying eyes of their supervisors. A couple days after her tenth birthday, the automaton clicked on. Unprepared for that to happen, Haley was immediately caught by their supervisors. As punishment, they were held against a wall and had their left arm removed just below the elbow.
They were then forced to watch as the supervisor brought a hammer and attempted to break the automaton, which probably would have worked if the automaton didn’t immediately fight back. The robot grabbed the main supervisor and choked him to death. In the moment of chaos, Haley grabbed their tools and jammed them into the other supervisor's left eye. As he screamed, Haley rallied the other servants into a revolt and the entire forge fell into chaos.
As Haley walked out of the cave, they took their first breath of fresh air and sight of sunlight as the automaton followed. Haley walked for several days before they came to Uthodurn, where they constructed a makeshift arm from loose parts. As they looked through the archives, they discovered the existence of an ancient city buried in ice and snow in the far north. Using their sleight of hand and charisma, they worked for two years, gathering enough tools, supplies, coin, and skill to chart a voyage northward to the city of Aeor.
The trek was brutal. Not willing to leave their companion, Pegs, behind, Haley continued to fix their mechanical friend due to freezing circuits. It became so bad that Haley’s right leg eventually succumbed to frostbite. Hope began to dwindle as Haley and their companion slowly started to lose their energy. Right when they thought they were going to die, as they trudged through ice and snow, they reached the outskirts of the city.
Haley immediately began to tear through the city’s massive collection of research. With Pegs as their assistant, Haley cut off their dead leg and replaced it, as well as their mechanical arm with a much more reliable Aeorian-make prosthetic model. They also constructed a multipurpose magical weapon to defend themselves from the world.
Pegs became entirely Aeorian as Haley found blueprints for Warforged automatons and they infused their ideas with Aeor’s personal archives.
After five years, eventually, Haley, using their own ingenuity, created a teleporter and transported them and Pegs back to civilization.
They found themselves in Kamordah, a few hours south of Rexxentrum where they lived for several years as they made a name for themselves as one of the greatest blacksmiths of all time while gaining gunslinger experience from Baron Gargah, an old adventurer who lived next door.
After living in Kamordah for a decade with Pegs, Haley decided they wanted to see the world and gather more knowledge about the universe and how everything came to be, so they built their own Planeshifter. As they were about to take the maiden voyage, something went horribly wrong as a malfunction grabbed her and Pegs and she appeared in the middle of a castle, staring at three girls who continued to pore over notes…

Brothers anon back again. I had a sort of writers block for the last like 2 days which made it really hard to do some questions, but I got em done finally. Sorry about the wait. This one is split between the numbered questions, and next ask is the other questions you asked!
I think I accidentally skipped a question in the last one. I honestly don't completely remember but in case I did skip it by mistake, the groups first travel out of the city's limits and even further beyond in a carriage. When they reach the end of how far the driver is willing to go they then get out and start walking. With Jackie screaming about how their finally going on a adventure.
1: It thankfully doesn't get to to bad before the others notice. And he immediately told them about Dream, wanting to be very clear with what happened and what they where getting themselves into. But they accepted him anyway and helped him.
2: Isaac is the leader cause Cletus is too much of a wildcard and too impulsive to lead safely, Charles is too shy to lead, and while Benjamin is perfect for leading he doesnt really like leading and is more of a follower than a leader. But Isaac can joke around and gets along with everyone but also be able to take things seriously and know when something needs to be handled.
5: They do not, they last for a few minutes and unless its a healing or regeneration potion (in which it can take a few days for it to fully go away) they have no long lasting affects. They do know of eachothers past to an extent, they know enough to avoid triggers and enough to know what not to do when around eachother. They know through telling eachother, and they feel awful Grievous and Jackie had to deal with that, but leave it in the past and focus on making their current life better.
6: Yes and no, while Jackie did mean to throw it at Ran, he ment for it to just hit nearby him, not directly hit him. It was ment to be more of a scare/intimidation tactic than anything else honestly. Grievous's luck is for basically everything, he has won the lottery twice before actually but only those 2 times, he's correctly guessed how many items are in a container more than a few times as well.
7: I use the height charts and they help mostly for comparison, problem is I have trouble applying it to real world stuff and because of that I still have trouble knowing if something or someone is to tall or short. Jackie can get very mean, like he can make fun of someone who just lost a loved one or experienced a traumatic event at the worst. But he usually doesn't get nearly that mean, most he does normally is making fun of how someone looks or how they do certain things. The others comfort him the best they can when he gets sad, and when he gets mean they either encourage it (Grievous), or discourage it and stop him (Watson. Ran is between either encouraging or discouraging it).
8: He was! He spent most of his life adventuring actually! He misses it somedays now since he lives in Subbin, but he believes giving up his adventuring life for a family and friends who needed him is a more than far trade and would happily pick his family over adventuring again. For around 4 years after Ran left Mizu (including the day he left), Ran traveled everywhere, and learned how to survive himself and taught himself different things, like sewing. Ran has made new socks, fixed clothes, and made blankets for everyone at least once. Watson also designs bows and arrows for show, for top functionality, and for just simple (training) gifts to the others. Ran (and Watson) has visited the nether, though Ran tended to stay in it longer than Watson cause he could withstand the temperatures better. And while digging a new tunnel across the nether he ran into ancient debris, which he then messed with until he figured out to mix it with gold and coat his sword in it. He tried to find more ancient debris but sadly hasn't found any, leaving his sword permanently damaged and at risk of breaking. Jackie isn't good at all at painting, its more of a hobby he's trying out. They try to camp out there at least once a week, where Grievous will sometimes build a pillowfort and either force everyone inside or play a game of capture the fort with them. Sometimes Ran will also read during the pillowfort nights, but not to often. Jackie wants to vist a Snow, Savanna, Jungle, Tagia, and if possible, a Ice Spike biome. He also wants to vist the nether but he'll have to fight Ran on that. Ran and Jackie's secondary titles are in Javanese!
9: Ran just kinda went "Hey Jackie, stand still for a second." "Ok?" And then he just picked him up and threw up.
10: When he's first given dinner after already eaten lunch, he just kinda stares at the food. Then asks if they meant to give him food, and when the others say yes, he asks why because he thought people only ate once every few days. His answer shocked the others and they ask him to explain, and he explains futher that he was only allowed to eat and drink once every 3 days. Their horrified by this answer but explain to him how theres 3 meals a day and he can drink whenever, he doesn't believe them at first but eventually accepts it.
11: When the fishermen first come to Ranbob about their worry, he expresses the same worry as them. But says that it's unlikely Ran will hurt the fishermen specifically, because Rans haunting are already friends with them, and Ran wouldnt risk breaking the friendship unless he deemed it necessary for their safety.
12: Ranbob is sad that Ran goes to such lengths to avoid him and keep people away from him, but he has resigned himself to it. As he knew that if Ran was alive it was greatly unlikely that he would trust him and knew he would be avoided. Which is actually particularly why he believes Ran will never trust him again and why he views Ran as a kind of lost family member. One he'll never get back no matter what he does.
13: Their first stop is a nearby flower biome, and after that Watson has planned to lead them to a waterfall he found with a shattered Savanna somewhat close to it. They plan to travel for a minimum of 6 months, they can actually travel for as long as they want to, but Prokius made them agree that they must be back before the next General Pit Battles (which happens once every 5 years).
14: He would 100% run himself into the ground until he's barely alive while searching for them. Benjamin compares Ranbob wanting to go back to Dream, to an abused person wanting to go back to their abusive lover. They believe they've changed and that they truly do love them and want the best for them, but in reality that's not it at all and others have to help them see thats not true and help them save themselves. So it doesn't surprise Benjamin or Isaac that much (it surprises Charles and Cletus though), and after its explained to them, their all more than willing to help Ranbob get over Dream and help him be himself again.
15: Oh definitely. Once they hear the Green-Eyed Enderman is back from hiding they all set out again, and after the group gets attacked and once word spreads that its in a group and there's another enderman with them, they all get targeted. With the Gladiators and Fishermen being targeted as bait or hostages to try to trick the enderman into following a trap. Ran wasnt affected like his brother was. Im talking about trauma and maybe even a bit of PTSD that came from Mizu, caused by Dream. Though both of the brothers have gained different amounts of trauma and PTSD from Dream. I may give the raven to either Watson or Ran, I think its fits both of them really well. I want to have them come across ruins of other Tales but im not sure which ones. Maybe they could find the remains of the Wild West Tale and the Haunted Mansion?
Glad to see you, Brothers Anon, and excited to read!
1: The perfect start to an Adventure. And a funny mental image. Imagining these two groups cramped into carriages is pretty amusing. How ready was everyone to get out by the time they could?
2: The fishermen are really great, and Ranbob is very lucky. I love them.
3: Isaac sounds like he’s a pretty good fit for it then. But nobody’s perfect! What are some flaws of his, leadership-wise?
5: Interesting. What makes Regeneration and Healing last longer? I suppose it’s not relative to the AU, but I am a bit curious. What’s the world’s potions mechanisms, if you don’t mind me asking? And that’s good! They may not know everything, but they know what to avoid, and that’s important. Everyone’s moved forward and are making the best of life, and honestly, that’s pretty cool of them.
6: Welp, Jackie, it seems intimidation tactic failed. However, you have managed to anger Ran, so..there’s that. He won the lottery? Dang. Well, if they ever need money, they can just send him to the nearest casino, I suppose.
7: Aight, so I may have a solution for you there. Whatever height you’re going for, find something in real life that’s just about the same height. Like a tree, or something. Or not, we can always just leave it at short enough to be tossed and tall enough to be the tosser. Jackie sounds like he knows where to hit to make it hurt, honestly. It’s good that they comfort him, though I am curious why they all react as they do to him being mean. Why does Grievous encourage it? And is it more of a depends on the day thing for Ran, or a depends on what was said to Jackie, and what Jackie’s saying thing?
8: Nice! What kind of places did he go? Does he have any particularly interesting knickknacks from that time period? And Ran personally sounds like he knows what he’s doing. Watson’s weapons sound really cool, where did he learn to make them? Is visiting the Nether not a common occurrence these days? Or is it simply that the others never got around to it before? Well, hobbies are always fun to try. Does Jackie keep at it and get better or get bored and try something else? How does Capture the Fort go with these guys, considering they’re gladiators? Why does Jackie want to visit those particular biomes? Is there a reason, or do they just sound cool to him? And why would Ran not want them going to the Nether? Because of the danger?
9: FDXGHJ- He just- tossed him?? No warning?? Oh my gods, I’m dying. How did Jackie react to that? Heck, how did Porkius react to that? I doubt anyone was expecting that display.
10: Oh, no. Now I really want to punch Dream in the face. What the heck, Dream?! He legit asks if they meant to give him food...If one of the fishermen or gladiators doesn’t eventually find a way to punch Dream, I will be forced to travel realities and do it myself.
11: Kind of sad that Ranbob was equally concerned about it. But hey! He won’t have to be, one day!
12: Poor Ranbob. I hope he’s proven wrong, eventually. Do the fishermen know that he thinks this? If so, how do they feel about it? Or does he kind of just keep those thoughts to himself?
13: Flower biomes are really pretty. What did everyone think about it? Did they bring any flowers with them? So this roadtrip could possibly go on for a few years. Did they leave just after a General Pit Battle, or do they have like, less than five years? Speaking of General, is Jackie still the General in this AU? Does he have extra duties because of it? Or is that not something that happened in this AU?
14: Yikes. Reactions to this? Why does Ranbob believe Dream’s changed, as you put it? Is Dream still able to talk to him, or is it because he just misses being there? So Benjamin and Isaac aren’t all that surprised about it. Do they take the reins in helping out? And how do they all do so? It’s good that they’re helping him though.
15: Well, this sounds like it can’t end well. They try to use the hauntings as bait? Is anyone actually captured? Rescue missions? And alright, that makes a bit more sense. I can see how they’d both be effected differently, and honestly, they’d probably both have very different perspectives of the event, all things considered. Ravens for the win! And it’d be really cool for them to come across the ruins of old Tales buildings. Can you imagine the kind of things they’d find? Diaries, faded photographs, moth-eaten clothes, blood stained floors...Like a walk in the past, but they’ll never know what came to be for the people of that time.

birth chart reading for @akiss-goodbye
hello! welcome to your reading. I’m gonna give you a quick overview of what I’m going to analyze about your natal chart. feel free to ask me anything if something isn’t clear, of course. you’ll find out your dominants’ influence on your persona, your physical appearance, impression on others and the way you approach the world; your ego, identity, the real you; your reactions, your desires, inner emotions; your way of expressing your feelings, your mind and ideas; your desires and approach to love; your energy tank, instincts and temperament; in-depth analysis of each house with their rulers and analysis of heavy aspects; love life + soulmates/karmic partners interpretation; your relationship with your friends; your family life; your approach to career and work in general + possible jobs suggestion; your style, fashion sense analysis; life purpose and past life description; basic transits’ analysis to describe your current mood and, last but not least, your secret skills, how to make the most out of your soul and manifest what you desire based on your birth chart.
🦋 chart shape, dominants
your chart is a seesaw shape. your life focuses on different ideals and interests, often constrasting between each other. from one side, this gives you the ability to be adaptable and find solutions easily. on the other hand, you may struggle with balance; for example, you might find yourself dedicating your life to your relationships, neglecting your ego or viceversa. you need to learn how to harmonize these energies.
your dominant planets are the moon, mars and uranus. you're surely a very emotional and sensitive person, and you could sometimes be a bit impulsive. you may react unconsciously, and you could sometimes end up hurting people without meaning to. you could be quite unpredictable, but you're also very empathetic and understanding of others.
your dominant sign is cancer. you seek emotional security in life. you need to feel grounded, you're most likely extremely cautious about the decisions you make. you're also very sensitive and compassionate of others, even though you could get slightly passive from time to time.
your dominant element is water. you're very intuitive and empathetic, you care a lot about others, and you may seem like a healer to people you know. in fact, you always try to help them if you can, almost in a therapeutic way. you're also very spiritual, and you're attracted to anything related to discovering your higher self and soul purpose.
🌎 ascendant in cancer, 22° / 3rd decan ruled by the moon and neptune
with your ascendant in the sign of cancer, you appear way more sweet and approachable than your scorpio sun, which is obviously very beneficial for you. being a water sign, cancer risings individuals are very intuitive and emotional, and that is exactly how you approach the world. you rely more on your 6th sense rather than logic, and mixed with your moon being also in cancer you're extremely empathetic. aside from your scorpio side, the rest of your chart is extremely sensitive and affectionate. you can read people's mood very well, it's easy for you to understand whether someone is sad, angry, happy... because of that, you always try to make people feel at ease, you're always kind with people, and that makes you extremely likeable. also, since cancer is ruled by the moon, you're probably a very genuine person. it's hard for you to hide your real emotions, and even if you wanted to hide them you wouldn't be capable. you could also have frequent mood swings. you have a strong sense of family and comfort to you, and hence it's extremely essential for you feel at ease to truly be yourself. let's suppose you're with a group of friends, and they suddenly bring someone with them that isn't very nice; you would probably get very stiff, and your mood would immediately go down. you also tend to be like a mother / sister to others, you hardly ever have superficial bonds. physically, since cancer is ruled by the moon you may have very round and big features to you; you could have big, watery and round eyes with perfect lashes, a button nose, plump lips... but in your case, there's still something very sharp about your apperance, like a jawline, cheekbones, or even your nose. in addition, you may be petite or average height, and you could bloat easily.
🌞 sun in scorpio, 23° / 3rd decan ruled by pluto and the moon
you're quite of a loner, you prefer spending time alone rather than with others. you're extremely intuitive, and you can read people like a book; they can't lie or keep secrets from you, you'll surely find out. you're pretty charismatic, and paired with your wise intellect it's hard not to agree with your ideas, especially considering that your mercury is also in scorpio. you're basically a leader, a very demanding one. you have high standards regarding everything: clothes, food, goals, people... you're always striving for the best, you don't want to settle down. on the other hand, even though it may take you a while to find someone worthy of your affection, once that someone shows up you'll stay with them forever. you're deeply loyal, and also caring in your own way. that's because you value feelings, you can easily smell when someone isn't trustworthy. you're probably very protective of your friends and loved ones in general, sometimes even too much. this could even escalate and become a more serious issue, as scorpio is also the planet of obsession, after all. it's common for you to feel your emotions x2, as they're too intense to handle. you know everything about others, but you don't show off and gossip about it. actually, you keep the info for yourself and use it when you need it. you're a sort of strategic cia agent.
scorpio sun opposite taurus saturn: you may have some insecurities coming from your family or roots that make you feel like you constantly need to prove yourself. you literally go extreme, just because you feel the need to show the best version of you to the world. there's an inner fight in you, which makes you feel that you can never reach the top. saturn represents the father figure in astrology, so maybe he's the cause of these issues. you had to grow up earlier than other kids, and you may find yourself more at ease around elder people. it's like the sun is restricted by saturn to shine properly. if you develop this aspect, you can get a big baggage of wisdom, so try to deal with your insecurities, don't let others tell you who you are.
🌙 moon in cancer, 5° / 1st decan ruled by the moon
with your moon in cancer, your privacy and security are the centre of your life. you need to be and feel emotionally stable to fully take advantage of all of your skills; for example, if you argue with a loved one of yours, especially if it's someone from your family, you could get very unmotivated to do anything. you need to feel complete to function correctly, and when you can't, you rely on material goods; e.g you may overeat, buy a lot of useless things out of stress, drink... anything that apparently helps you to cope. on the other hand, you're very affectionate, even clingy at times, but your feelings are very pure. because of that, you may also be extremely sensitive, you could be afriad of others' judgment for example. you have a very acute maternal istinct, you're most likely the mom friend of your group, especially since your ascendant is also in cancer as well. it comes natural to you to take care of others and nurture them, you'd definitely make an amazing mother. the problem with this trait is that you may sometimes take the blame for something just to protect others, you could often say white lies to help your loved ones. you just want to do something beneficial for others, you're extremely generous, but don't forget that you should take care of yourself first. also, since you feel the need to help others, you may often bottle up your emotions without anyone that is willing to help you work out your problems. make sure to always have some private space in your day-to-day life, it is extremely essential for you to develop your own ideas and also to understand what to do for your personal growth.
cancer moon opposite capricorn venus: there are contrasting feelings in your relationships with others; after all, your capricorn venus wants to commit to someone and be loyal to them, you want seriousness in a relationship. on the other hand, your cancer moon wants to daydream, and hence you could sometimes idealize people, you may see them as what they're not. those two desires of yours probably contrast each other, stressing you out. you want a calm, almost boring relationship, but with this placement you can't seem to have one. your feelings and self-esteem may depend a lot on your relationships, not only with your lovers, but also with your friends. if someone isn't loyal to you, you immediately start blaming yourself. in your life you may lack intimacy, and while it may make you feel better at first, based on the rest of your chart you actually need someone on your side. you can't do everything on your own. it's very challenging, especially since your 7th house lilith could make you attract quite malicious people, but you need to find someone that projects your ideals of love. if you need a free-spirit, go look for one. it may take you a while, but if you learn all the lessons you need to learn from your breakups, you'll be able to live a peaceful life with your spouse.
cancer moon square libra mars: your feelings are very intense. you may tend to react aggressively, or at least overreact. you feel the constant need to express your emotions, but you also want to be understood by others. you tend to be aggressive because you're actually afraid that others may be the first ones to hurt you. you don't really do it with malice, it's your way to defend yourself from eventual enemies. this placement also indicates that your childhood / family life was or will be quite turbulent, especially since your mars is located in the 4th house, which is about family and home. to cope with this placement, I'd suggest you to be a little bit more mechanic when you express your feelings. you don't have to hide them, just try not to vent all your anger around. you don't seem strong, you're just exposing your weaknesses in this way.
🗣 mercury in scorpio, 3° / 1st decan ruled by pluto
you're extremely blunt and straight-forward, you may actually hurt people with your words. you probably lack diplomacy, and you're very realistic. the thing is, you speak the truth, but not everyone can accept it. that's why your behaviour is so controversial. you speak fluent sarcasm, and that could annoy people who don't understand your sense of humor. you're probably good at lying, and even manipulating people. you may often make others change their mind just with your own words, but be careful not to use this skill to hurt others, or you'll only experience a sense of guilt and overall the bad sides of it. on the other hand, you're an extremely captivating speaker, you'd be successful at anything that involves the use of words and voice. you're truly intuitive, and it's easy for you to understand when someone is being honest or is lying to you. last but not least, you're very secretive as well. you're probably the type to know everything and anything about others, while you remain a mystery.
❤️ venus in capricorn, 2° / 1st decan ruled by saturn
you seem like the type of person who's not totally into the idea of love and relationships, especially in your early years. you find your individuality way more important, and you feel the need to establish your status in the world. yet, there's still a place in your heart that desires love, but it's quite hidden. maybe, you're actually afraid of falling in love; or perhaps, it's the opposite: your risk-taker sagittarius energy made you jump into relationships, even if they weren't actually your priority. it may be hard for you to fall for someone, but once you do, you're totally invested in them. you're quite of a traditionalist when it comes to love; you may the type that prefers being courted, rather than court yourself. you're also quite into clichés, and you're looking for a polite and ambitious partner. someone who has a stable job, and is also wealthy. basically, someone that looks (and possibly is) rich and noble. you may also have the tendency to date people that are older than you, and possibly also soulmates from your past lives. in fact, you attract many karmic partners that are here to teach you lessons. your relationships may be quite painful, or at least they're so intense that they are hard to forget. with this placement, it's also recommended to get married after your saturn return, hence after your 28-29 years old, to avoid any kind of challenges.
capricorn venus square libra mars: with your venus squaring your mars, you find your love life to be filled with conflicts. you may get easily irritated by your partners, especially your long-term partners. you hate boredom, and this may be your weakness regarding this placement; that is, once the relationship starts getting more serious, you feel as if it's going down, when it's actually the opposite. hence, you just run towards a new adventure. this placement may even give you the reputation of being a player, but I don't think it's your case based on your others placements. capricorn is still your venus sign after all, but beware or rushing relationships or it could bite your butt.
🗣 mars in libra, 6° / 1st decan ruled by venus
there’s this stereotype that libra mars people are passive-aggressive. it may be true, but only partially. in fact, you try to avoid conflicts exclusively when you’re in public, or maybe with someone you don’t know well. in that case, you can eventually try to avoid the problem. with people you’re close to, you’re pretty much the opposite. you may say the worst of things that you probably don’t even feel, you may even have the istinct to throw hands. you’re driven by a strong sense of justice, and you probably were the class’ snitch during daycare/primary school. you also strive for equality, hence you may get very defensive when it comes to proving your innocence, or just really anyone’s. overall, you’re a fair person with strong morals, who acts based on the situation you’re in.
🏡 houses
your 1st house is in cancer. the first house rules the exterior, while the moon, cancer’s ruler, rules the inner part of yourself. that means that the way you look depends on how you are inside; if you’re sad, you may have this very depressed look not only on your face, but also in your eyes above all. or perhaps, you could be the type to be what you eat, so you could gain weight easily as soon as you don’t eat clean. you could also be quite weak, you don’t really have high stamina, you’d rather sleep than work out, but being physical active is extremely important for you. you come across as someone very shy, and you most likely are, even though you give off very good vibes, you don’t look intimidating like your scorpio sun would. the ruler of the 1st house is in the 12th house: you are most likely a very introverted individual. you probably love your alone time, you're quite secretive and you prefer keeping your affairs for yourself.
your 2nd house is in leo. your self-esteem depends on matters like money, possessions, as well as your influence on others. you may feel confident when you’re praised and spoiled with compliments and material things, you may enjoy being in the spotlight as it increases your self-confidence, even though you’re quite shy so you don’t feel very at ease. you feel confident when you’re able to earn money and you’re financially stable, and hence you probably felt guilty as a child to ask your parents for money for example. you probably love luxury, you aspire to become very wealthy, live in the house of your dreams, etc. you could also dream of becoming famous. and actually, with this placement, you could make money from leo-related matters, and hence being in the spotlight, creativity (especially theatre / drama), comedy, etc. the ruler of the 2nd house is in the 5th house: you could possibly gain money through your hobbies, and hence you may become very wealthy thanks to creative things such as writing, singing, etc .
your 3rd house is in virgo. you’re very precise and polite in the way you express your thoughts. you’re probably very careful to grammar, vocabulary etc… you love looking and being knowledgeable. you’re more of a logical type rather than an intuitive person, you hardly ever do something only out of curiosity. you’re very cautious about the decisions you make, and hence it could take you some time to finally choose something, but that’s because you just don’t want to regret anything. you think deeply about your choices, and most of the time they turn out to be right. you’re strongly opinionated, but you may be a bit too harsh when you express your ideas. sometimes you could even hurt someone, as you’re extremely honest. you don’t like sugar-coating your words. you’re also very intelligent and hard-working, and you can’t stand messy things. you’re probably very neat, you like having schedules and you may even keep an agenda / diary where you keep track of your appointments and other things you have to do. the ruler of the 3rd house is in the 4th house: you probably love talking about your childhood, you may keep lots of memories of it and you could think about it very often. you're probably also a bit private, you only talk about your secrets to people you trust, like your family for example.
your 4th house is in libra, with also mercury and mars in this house tightly conjunct the ic. your home environment was probably very pleasant and beautiful; you may have a conventionally beautiful family, or at least they’re particularly attractive and charming. your house may also be very well-designed and elegant, doesn’t matter how big it is. you probably see your parents as ideal, they are your role models and you look up to them, even though they could have been a bit strict from time to time. you could have the habit to argue a lot with your parents or with your family in general, you probably all have strong personalities and hence you end up being in conflict from time to time. there could have even been some physical violence in the worst case. the ruler of the 4th house is placed in the 6th house: you may have a reputation for being very nurturing, like a sort of mother to others, a benevolent leader. also, your future career may include 4th house matters; that means that you could follow your parents’ steps and work in their same field, for example, or maybe even follow their studies. you could possibly work with families, e.g as a counselor, or perhaps in real estate. you could possibly even become an interior designer, or you could be particularly talented at cooking, you’d make a great chef or maybe a baker too.
your 5th house is in scorpio, with also your sun and pluto being here. your hobbies most likely include self-expression of any kind, anything that you consider private is told through your creativity. also, with scorpio in this house, you may as well be attracted to darker hobbies like astrology, tarots… possibly, you may be into thriller or even into horror. you may also like psychology, criminology… this type of things that are able to stimulate your mind in some way. you could possibly want to be a risk-taker, deep down. also, you want to become a master in what you like, and hence you tend to go extreme to become perfect. you may dedicate a lot of your spare time to your hobbies, for example, even if you have to work. your romantic relationships may be very intense, you could attract particularly jealous or even obsessive partners in your life. some of them may be painful, but they’ll be essential to become mature and grow up into a better, wiser person. in addition, I see you as the type of person who doesn’t like showing off their partner. you probably keep both your love interests and hobbies personal, you only talk a little about them to your close, trusted friends, especially with your pluto in this house that makes this energy even stronger. your sun in the 5th house makes you extremely creative and artsy, you enjoy the finer things in life, but you don't lack depth and wisdom either thanks to scorpio being in the house cusp.
your 6th house is in sagittarius, with also venus placed there as well. you are most likely very dedicated to your routine; you could have some workaholic tendencies, you feel the need to be perfect at whatever you want to do in life, even though venus here may mitigate this. in fact, you probably don’t realize that you work more than you should, as you have fun at work and you also like taking care of yourself. if you’re into exercising, you could be the type to workout everyday even if it's not necessary because it makes you feel good. or perhaps, you could literally skip your sleep just to finish a book you started writing. you’re used to work hard, and hence you most likely do it with pleasure if it involves something you love doing. you try to be very productive in your day-to-day life, even though you don’t mind including fun and relax in your routine either. you may have a 'light’ work, that is you could turn an hobby of yours into a job, or perhaps you’ll make lots of friends or even lovers on your work place that will make it more pleasant for you to go to work. you may also be very lucky, you could easily get jobs that offer a nice income for example, and your health is most likely good too. the ruler of the 6th house is in the 11th house: you could end up pursuing your dream career, perhaps a long-term goal of yours involves your desired job. you may also make lots of friends on your workplace, or perhaps you actually choose a career that allows you to work with your current friends.
your 7th house is in capricorn, with also neptune sitting there. this placement makes you very patient with other people, you could be the type to give other possibilities to others for example. capricorn in the 7th house may also manifest in a lack of romanticism in an individual, but I don’t think it’s totally your case. I assume that you are quite romantic, but exactly because of your romanticism, you tend to get very picky. you want your partner to meet your ideals of perfection, and hence you may often end up not dating anyone, or being let down by your own lovers. actually, you could even be afraid of love, especially because there could be a lot of karma around your relationships. you could have to experience lots of hardships throughout your love life, but they’ll help you become more mature. it’s also recommended to get married after your saturn return with this placement, hence after your 27/28 years. in addition, you also have neptune in this house; that means that you may idealize your partners a lot. you may see them as perfect, but in reality that’s just a version of them that you created in your head. with the ruler of the 7th house in the 11th house, you may marry a co-worker of yours, or maybe a friend. perhaps, you may even meet at your work place, or you’ll work in the same field.
your 8th house is in aquarius, with also uranus sitting there. you could possibly have an unexpected yet barely painful death, or perhaps someone in your life has died / will die all of a sudden, you may often experience scenarios of this kind. possibly, you could even die due to electricity, and or at least it will be a very fast death, I don’t see it being violent or turbulent at all. or maybe, you’re surrounded by unpredictable events of loss of any kind in your life. that is, it could also happen with your money. it’s important not to risk too much with this placement, especially with gambling, or you may end up getting in serious problems. you’re fascinated by the occult, and you may even be/been able to talk to dead people. you’re very intuitive, and it’s easy for you to read through people’s words. you may as well have prophetic dreams.
your 9th house is in pisces. this is definitely a nice placement! the result is that you’re probably extremely open-minded and imaginative. you hardly ever have have prejudices, you don’t judge a book by its cover. you’re extremely opinionated, and combined with your virgo 3rd house you’re constantly looking for the truth. you hate it when people say something wrong for example, you can’t help but correct them. you could also be religious and believe in a god. philosophy, literature and poetry are also a part of your many interests. in addition, you’re most likely also into foreign languages and cultures. you could travel a lot, or perhaps with your pisces in the house cusp you like travelling with your mind. you probably literally create stories in your head, you’re extremely imaginative. a good advice would be not to waste this talent of yours; you could actually make your fantasies concrete and express them through creative outlets: books, drawings, songs, choreographies… basically, it would be a waste to only keep them for you. you may also learn about more creative topics rather than school subjects. the ruler of the 9th house is in the 7th house: your future spouse may come from a different country from yours, or at least they’re able to speak more than a language. they may also have a different culture from yours too, or you may directly meet them abroad. you could also meet them in college / university as well.
your 10th house is in aries. with your 10th house cusp in the energetic sign of aries, you need a career that allows you to be independent, you probably prefer working alone than in groups. or perhaps, you actually aspire to become a boss, a ceo, someone people look up to, and if you work hard you may actually become an influential person in your work place / field. you aspire to be successful and you want to be wealthy thanks to yourself only, and you may actually develop some good luck in your career life. your future job may also require something related to physical action, and hence you may have to move a lot for your job, perhaps you may pursue acting to include something creative that also requires you to move. also, the ruler of the 10th house being in the 4th house confirms what I've said above; you may choose the same career as your parents, or perhaps you're going to pursue the job you've always wanted since you were a child.
your 11th house is in taurus, jupiter and saturn are also placed in this house. you could possibly attract people with taurus traits, and hence your friends could be quite stubborn and possessive, but also very loyal and responsible. they could possibly be wealthy, and they could have some artistic, creative interest and / or talent just like you. you may have some trust issues, you’re careful about who you trust, and hence you’re quite cautious about who you befriend. your long-term goals include financial stability, you may be quite materialistic as you enjoy wealth. yet, I assume that thanks to your water placements you’re not as work-focused as other earth placements, you actually also value emotions and feelings too. with jupiter and saturn in this house, I feel like you probably have very big goals and dreams that you want to come true. jupiter indicates that you're most likely very lucky, and hence you have the potential to achieve everything you desire. saturn reminds you that you need to work hard for what you want, though. in this lifetime you're being taught not to take things for granted. the ruler of the 11th house is in the 6th house: your ultimate goal could involve being healthy, maybe following a diet or workout routine or just a routine of any kind. you may also befriend your co-workers, or your friends may work in your same field.
your 12th house is in gemini, with also the moon sitting here. the 12th house is the house of fears and gemini rules over communication, and hence you could be afraid to approach others, you’re very shy. you don’t like speaking in public either, same goes for expressing your opinions. you’re always afraid that people may judge you for your ideas, your interests and for the way you speak. on the other hand, you’re a quite spiritual individual. during your sleep you probably get to have lots of meaningful dreams, even though you may sometimes not remember many of them, or even none. it’s a skill of yours that you’ll be able to embrace once you finally wake up spiritually. as I’ve already mentioned above, you could have prophetic dreams and, with gemini’s presence in this house, spirits, angels and other higher entities may try to communicate with you through your dreams or subconscious. you may also be the type to talk non-stop when you’re drunk, and you may even have a habit of talking to yourself. the moon here indicates that you tend to keep your feelings private, you don't like sharing how you feel. the best way to get to know yourself is being alone and exploring your inner self, maybe even by using tools like astrology, meditation, tarots, etc.
❤️ love life, soulmates
in love, you attract capricorn, pisces, gemini, virgo, scorpio and leo. your future spouse will most likely have capricorn and pisces traits placements; they’ll be very intelligent, mature and hard-working, but also with a warm heart and a hidden insecurity to them. they could be very work-oriented, but they won’t lack affection either. your chart hints that you’ll most likely meet them at your work place, or perhaps on a trip abroad. they could be foreign, or even of a different culture from yours, or you’ll just meet them abroad. perhaps during a business trip. your children will have heavy scorpio / aries or leo traits; they’ll be very active, especially physically, and astute. they’ll be very attached to you and your family in general, even though they could get too possessive, jealous and immature at times. they'll be very creative and confident as well.
👶🏻 family life
your father is a very fiery, impulsive person, with a short-temper. he could have even been quite violent with you during your childhood, and he might have a few childish behaviours. deep down, he’s actually kind of insecure with his role as a father, but he may hate to admit it. he may have aries, cancer, libra, taurus, cancer or scorpio placements in his chart. your mother, on the other hand, is also quite fiery. she’s mostly a peaceful and emotional person, even though she most probably has a passive-aggressive behaviour. she might’ve been a bit strict or overprotective. nonetheless, you could actually have a better relationship with her rather than with your father, or at least she understands your needs better. she may have air signs, aries, aquarius or scorpio placements in her chart. if you have siblings, they’re probably very peaceful, affectionate and intelligent. they may also be very kind, as well as organized. their rooms probably look immaculate. they could have virgo or gemini placements in their charts.
📊 career
your chart points out that you'd actually be great at creative jobs! you would make an amazing writer for instance, or perhaps you could even be a dancer, a singer, an artist... anything that allows your innovative ideas to flow outside. you probably wouldn't mind being in the spotlight either, even though you'd probably get overwhelmed by it since you seem so introverted by your placements. in general, you're a very ambitious person, and hence I don't see you being the type to scrap projects. especially with your aries midheaven, you're motivated to complete your works in order to show that you're able to succeed, you want to be the best in what you do. I can also see you being a good therapist, psychologist, possibly even a nurse, even though I'd avoid practical and boring jobs if I were in you. your water dominance struggles to be cold-minded at times, and hence working in a stressful environment could be dangerous for you and for your mental health, as you may absorb others' negativity and stress. actually, I feel like the most suited career for you would be something that allows you to be in charge, to be your own boss as you know what's best for you.
👕 fashion sense, style analysis
your style may be quite androgynous, yet still very classy. even if you’re wearing a simple sweatshirt, you make sure that it’s all neat and high quality above all. you could fancy wearing basic, ageless pieces, such as blazers, jeans, shirts etc. you mostly wear monochrome shades, such as black, white, beige, grey etc., but you still make them look effortlessly trendy. you could also be into retro trends, especially 20s/60s fashion or even 70s or 80s.
👁 past life, life purpose
in your past lifetime, you used to put your spirituality aside for a while to focus on finding out your identity here on the earth. you learned how to be responsible, healthy and stable on the earth. you know your values, and they’re already very grounded, you’re very mature from this point of view. in this lifetime, you now need to get more in touch with your spirituality. you need to get close to your higher self, and you may actually be quite skilled at it; probably you may interpret your dreams, you could be interested in religion, what’s beyond the world, and you’re most likely also interested in astrology and other occult matters. you’ll finally be able to reach happiness and fulfill your soul when you start having awareness of your soul’s purpose. since you’ve booked a reading, I’m sure you’re already on the right path, so keep going this way.
🤔 major transits analysis / january 18th
next year juno, the asteroid of marriage, is going to be conjunct your venus, which indicates a point of destiny in a birth chart. that means that you may meet someone that could eventually end up becoming your spouse. or at least, it means that you’ll finally be able to take a decision and commit to something relevant in your life. it may be a job, a lifestyle etc. anything that you need to feel serene, as this conjunction happens in the 6th house, the house of work and health. also, the next few days could be very needy and emotional for you, since almost every planet is transiting your 7th house. you may feel the need to socialize and meet new people, or perhaps you just need the company of a specific person, but you don't want to feel alone for sure. you may also feel very sensitive to others' opinion of you in these days.
🧿 manifest what you want, secret skills
with your water dominance, you probably have a 6th sense. you’re able to manifest what you want if you subconsciously predict it, even though it may be hard. you’d have to get in touch with your higher self to do so, and hence I would suggest you to light up some candles and meditate for a bit before manifesting, in this way it will be way more effective. you may manifest something while daydreaming, for example. or perhaps, you can also try listening to your own affirmations while you sleep, as you won’t be consciously aware of that. it’s probably the most effective way.
this is the end! thank you again for booking a reading, let me know if you have any questions :) - libramc xx

Simulating a Comic Book World
Comic book RPGs tend to be sub-divided into “descriptor-based” and “effect-based” games. “Bolt of Fire” is a descriptor, while “Ranged Attack that deals 50 points of damage to one target” is an effect. A descriptor-based game prioritizes the descriptor over the effects. An effect-based game prioritizes the effects over the descriptor.
Ascendant strives to be neither a descriptor-based nor effect-based game. It is, rather, a physics-based game. The game mechanics are intended to be the physics engine of the game world. Powers have both descriptors and effects. Some effects are precluded by the logic of the descriptor, and some descriptors inevitably entail certain effects. The mechanics are elaborate and detailed (as in an effect-based game) but they are also broad and universalized (as in a descriptor-based game). Players are expected and encouraged to use their powers in whatever manner makes sense within the physics of a comic-book world, but not in ways that don’t make sense.
If a descriptor-based system aims to let players experience a comic-book story, and an effect-based system aims to let players play a superhero game, our physics-based system aims to let players simulate a comic book world. To do so, we have created logarithmic chart-based universal mechanics, a style of design that has not been widely used in the last two decades, but which will be instantly familiar to fans of the classic FASERIP and MEGS RPGs from the 1980s.
Learning the Game
The easiest way to learn about Ascendant is to get walked through a character stat block. Below is the stat block for Aurora. Previously a D-grade celebrity from a TV reality show, her ambition to be a dazzling star in the spotlight was granted…sort of… when she manifested the ability to control and generate light. Now she is one of the most famous ascendants in the world, with brand sponsorships from beauty and fashion companies, her own press team, and a prestigious membership in the Star-Spangled Squadron, America’s premier team of crimefighting ascendants.

Up at the top you can see Aurora's Character Points, Power Limit, and Challenge Rating. Character Points (CP) are used to construct characters. An average human has 200 CP. A trained soldier has 240 CP. An exceptionally impressive, formidable and renowned human in the real world has 400 CP. Every 80 CP represents an approximate doubling of the character’s competency across all capabilities. With 940 Character Points, Aurora is one of the 20 most powerful superhumans in the world. Power Limit constrains how characters can allocate their CP and is analogous to class level in a D20 RPG. Challenge Rating shows how powerful a character is relative to a trained soldier. Aurora can defeat 500 US infantry simultaneously - she's a tough woman.
Over on the right, below her image, you'll see Aurora's Primary Attributes: Might (MIG), Agility (AGI), Valor (VAL), Resolve (RES), Insight (INS), and Charisma (CHA). Each of these Primary Attributes are rated in Supermetric Points (SP). SP are logarithmic; each additional one SP has a value equal to double the amount of the previous SP. Ordinary people have 3 SPs in each of their Primary Attributes, and the most impressive humans typically have no more than 5 SP in any Primary Attribute. With 7 SPs of Agility, Aurora is four times more agile than an Olympic athlete. With 12 SPs of Charisma, Aurora is 500 times more magnetic and alluring than any ordinary person.
To the left of the Primary Attributes are Aurora's Secondary Attributes, which rate factors like Initiative, Passive Spotting Range, Height, Income, and more. With a Flight Speed of 14 SPs, Aurora can fly at Mach 24!
Below the Variable Attributes we list Aurora's Powers. Her most important Power is Agile Light Control. Light Control is a pre-defined Power Set that allows her to emulate many other powers. (The rules let you build your own power sets if you want, yes!)

The word Agile in front of Light Control is a modifier that changes how the power works. In this case, it means that Aurora uses her Light Control in conjunction with her Agility rather than her Insight. Between Powers, Power Sets, and Modifiers, there are infinite possibilities available to make virtually any character you can imagine.
Below Powers we've listed Aurora's Skills. Skills can be substituted for Primary Attributes for specific purposes. For instance, Aurora has 14 SPs of Aerial Combat. If she's the target of a ranged attack while she's flying, she can substitute her Aerial Combat score for her Agility score, making her much harder to hit.
Below the Primary Attributes, you can see Aurora's Perks and Drawbacks. Perks function similarly to Feats in a D20 RPG. Some of the most important Perks are the Combat Maneuvers, which allow you to trade damage for accuracy and vice versa. Aurora's got two Combat Maneuvers as well as a host of other Perks related to her status as a celebrity member of the elite Star-Spangled Squadron.
Aurora has a number of minor Drawbacks such as her Code of Honor ("always be fabulous") as well as one very serious Drawback called a Vulnerable State. A Vulnerable State models all the situations that can result in heroes becoming weaker or losing their powers. Exposed to meteorites from your homeworld? Caught out of your powered armor? Forgot to recharge your power ring? Not angry enough to turn green? All modeled with Vulnerable State. Aurora's Vulnerable State is that all of her powers are based on her egoistic desire to be a star; if she's ever reduced to 0 Determination, she gets depressed, loses her superpowers, and acquires a host of flaws.
Speaking of Determination, that's one of the game's Variable Attributes. The other one is Health, and both are listed near the top of the sheet. These are like Hit Points in a D20 Game. Unlike the other Attributes, Variable Attributes aren't rated in SP, just in raw numbers, so that when you deal and take damage it's all scaled correctly.
As for how the game itself works, it's so easy even a 200-CP ordinary human can play it! Anytime you want to make an Action, you choose your Action Value (AV) and then subtract the Difficulty Value (DV) to yield a Resolution Value (RV). You then roll 1d100 on the Challenge Action Resolution Table, or CHART, to see your Color Result. The CHART is carefully structured so that the expected values for any AV versus any RV are exactly what they ought to be, given the logarithmic nature of the Attributes. (It's pretty slick if you like math and we'll update on this in more detail later.)

Let's simulate Aurora shooting a Thermal Blast at the blindsighted assassin Helen Killer. Down at the bottom of her sheet, we've listed Aurora's Attacks. Each Attack has an Action Value and a Base Damage. If Aurora fires a Thermal Blast at Helen Killer, her AV for the Attack is 14 SPs and her Base Damage is 256. Her DV for the Attack is Helen's Combat Sense, which happens to be 13 SPs. That gives Aurora an RV of 14 - 13 = +1 on the CHART. Let's say her player rolls a 32. Scanning across the "1" row of the RV (Attack) column, we see that 32 falls into the Yellow range, so Aurora has scored a Yellow result on her Attack.
When you score a Green result when making an Attack, you deal Base Damage, while Yellow, Orange, and Red results increase damage by a factor of 2, 4, or 8. Since Aurora scored a Yellow result she deals 512 points of Damage to Helen Killer. Helen now gets to apply Protection like Forcefield or Invulnerability, then Roll With the Attack to reduce Damage in exchange for taking on various Conditions like "Dazed" or "Staggered".
We'll discuss the rules more in future updates but if you want more details, be sure to check out the sneak preview of the game’s first two chapters at the link below!

LINK: Sneak Preview Chapter 1 & 2
What if Superhumans Had Just Emerged?
Enough about rules. Let's talk about setting! Ascendant includes an optional campaign setting inspired by comics like Watchmen, The Boys, Squadron Supreme, The Authority, and Invincible. The world of Ascendant doesn't begin to diverge from that of our real world until 2012, and the first superheroes don't go public until the Battle of Atlanta in 2018, meaning your player characters will be among the first superhumans to ever don tights and fight crime. The setting is presented as an epistolary novel made up of leaked documents, transcripts, newspaper clippings, and emails that you can print out and give to your players - like this one.

Of course, we also include statistics for all of the major characters and organizations presented in the backstory, too. If you're intrigued, be sure to download the sneak preview of the campaign setting by clicking on the image below. (Art and layout not yet final!)

The Art of Ascendant
Comics are a visual medium and no comic book game should be without amazing illustrations. We’ve secured a team of top comic book artists to bring the world of Ascendant to life. Here's some samples of the artwork we've already commissioned. With your support, there'll be lots more!

fashion style: used to stick to seoul’s fashion, always wearing luxury brands as expected from the daughter of a socialite family. suits, skirts, dresses, purses… she didn’t spare any expense when it came to her wardrobe. now that she’s in yunhwa, inna completely changed her style… and finally found one that allows her to feel comfortable in her own skin and stop pretending to be something she isn’t and never was. tight clothing was exchanged for dresses and skirts that dance with the breeze while she takes walks on the beach. sweaters, blazers and blouses that are two sizes too big on her, often making her to roll up the sleeves for comfort. pants, shorts and skirts of all shapes and lengths in a variety of patterns, mostly plaid, pinstripes, herringbone and every so often she’d opt for more striking, eye catching patterns (it has a lot to do with her emotional state). as for shoes, she changed the expensive stilettos for flats, boots and sneakers. for accessorizing, she likes to decorate her wrists with dainty bracelets and her hands with several rings in gold and silver, usually three in the left hand and five in the right one, sometimes stacked, sometimes one on each finger. depending on the season, she either wears delicate necklaces or fashionable scarves that cover both, style and function. her favorite way to dress is with pants, mostly cuffed jeans, a blouse or a shirt that she loosely tucks in and long coats, big cardigans or blazers on top.

background (tldr)
inked words in a piece of parchment were all it took to turn her life around.
one day, she held a crown over her head, titles of excellence under her arm and an engagement ring around her finger. inna was the oldest daughter, the next in line, the one that was meant to achieve greatness first between the three siblings and set the example for them.
having the kwon surname was a synonym of high expectations and never did she fall short of any of them. inna was an exemplary woman, hard working and, most importantly, one that rarely voiced her opinions.
nonetheless, the day she came across a letter addressed directly to her was the day she started questioning who she really was.
sometimes, the protection that comes within hiding the truth is much needed to keep someone blissfully unaware of the reality; to keep them from unnecessary pain. inna doesn’t blame her parents for sheltering her, but she does hold it against them for underestimating her and not telling her she was adopted sooner.
the letter was short and the sender’s penmanship was gorgeous, clear, easy to read… and one that was completely strange to her. yet, she claimed to be her biological mother and promises of some answers came within a will, one that conceded her the ownership of a property and a teahouse, both allocated in yunhwa.
after several days of contemplation, arguments between her and her mother and research about a town she’s never heard of before, inna made a decision. one motivated by the final straw that came in the shape of a selfish partner whose only real interest was to have the perfect trophy wife. packing her whole life into cardboard boxes and several suitcases isn’t nearly as difficult as she first expected and so she leaves without looking back.
saying goodbye to seoul leaves a bittersweet taste as she drives five hours to yunhwa, only stopping when arriving at the address on the will. the woman spent almost an hour observing the front of the rather old house and it was clear that no one had habited it for months; overgrown plants on the small garden at the front, dust collecting on the windows… and the unknown behind its closed door.
she had no idea of what to expect, of what she going to find. it’s deeply scares her, the truth has never been an easy thing to swallow and she second guesses her plans when someone, apparently her mother’s acquaintance, stops by and the first thing they tell her is “you have her eyes.”
that’s all it takes for inna to make up her mind.
background (full)
inna is the oldest daughter of the kwon family, who were not famous per se, but well-positioned in the high society of seoul. her father had a couple of restaurants and her mother was the director of a publishing company she built from the ground. other than that, they’re your average rich family with parents having great expectations on their children to either follow their steps or achieve greatness on their own. inna was the ‘firstborn’, older than her brother for seven years and nine years older than her sister.
an absolute sweetheart as a kid, easily charming everyone with her dimpled smiles and lighter-colored eyes, a striking feature that didn’t resemble neither her mother’s or father’s very own eyes. however, it was never questioned neither was it unwelcomed. instead, it was appraised and even something her mother often showed off.
almost always been a well behaved daughter; charming, polite, obedient. the classic oldest daughter schtick and her mother constantly reminding her to set the example for her siblings only added to it. sure, she got into her fair share of trouble; a broken heart more than once, underage drinking (not too often), maybe cheating in an exam once or twice or copying someone else’s homework, but she made sure nothing would suffice to tarnish her or her family’s reputation permanently.
it’s in high school, after taking a literature class and discovering her love for reading and writing, that she decided to study something along those lines. not so surprisingly, her decision was fully supported by her mother which, admittedly, made her hesitate. inna had the gut feeling that the moment she shared her plans, her mother had already further paved the path of her future.
trying to look past this, college wasn’t nearly half as bad. actually, the years spent studying korean language and literature as well as journalism (double major nerd over here) were her favorites. between her junior and senior years, though, she took a sabbatical year (it was her 21st birthday wish and her father easily caved in despite her mother’s disapproval) to travel and her first destination was paris followed by london, tokyo and lastly california.
graduating at twenty two, inna immediately got a job in her mother’s company and slowly worked her way up until achieving the position of editor-in-chief at twenty seven. inna was really good at her job and she knew what it took for the company’s publications to become best-sellers, but she never shone whatsoever.
all her achievements never seemed to be hers for the spotlight always landed on her mother and rumor had it that inna got where she was thanks to her mother, which is partly true. sure, getting the job was a given, but everyone failed to see how exigent her mother- her boss was, or the amount of criticism she got without anyone noticing, or the late nights at the office, or the weekends without a break. still, inna never went out of her way to discredit the rumors, already knowing that changing people’s minds was 1. difficult and 2. pointless. every word, jab and snide comment directed her way fell on deaf ears.
inna wasn’t particularly discontented about her job, but she didn’t feel fulfilled either.
something felt constantly amiss and the sensation of being utterly lost was nothing new to her either. her dreams, goals and ambitions were all stored away, collecting dust and spiderwebs, just like her unfinished manuscripts safely kept in a box at home. being an author was her biggest dream, not reviewing, editing and telling other authors what to do to become a hit. inna wanted, longed to be on the other side.
however, there always seemed to be excuses for her not to: endless work, new publications, new clients and projects, then promotion after promotion and, lastly, a new partner that asks her hand in marriage by the time she turns thirty.
he was sweet, caring and always supported her professional growth. idealistically, the perfect partner. the kind that she introduced to her parents without hesitation or having to tell him to keep something a secret to avoid their disapproval. none of that happened this time compared to previous partners of hers. inna should’ve known something wasn’t right about someone so flawless, so selfless. maybe a part of her felt it from the get go, but in her position, the next “natural” step after having a stable career, was getting married and forming a family of her own. so when he asked (nothing too out of the world, just a family dinner), she couldn’t say no.
life was seemingly perfect.
the wedding planning midway through and one of the books the company published and she personally supervised became a huge success in the country, even getting a contract for a drama adaptation, thus the remuneration she got was big. rumors of a new office opening overseas where often heard across the building as well as inna being in charge of it. she couldn’t be happier.
it was the calm before the storm.
one afternoon at her parent’s house everything went downhill.
her mother asked inna to bring her a manuscript from her office. unsuspecting, inna was looking for it through the drawers when accidentally coming across an envelope with her name beautifully written on it. curiosity had always been her best and worst trait, and this time she couldn’t help but reading the contents.
the letter was short and the sender’s penmanship was gorgeous, clear, easy to read… and one that was completely strange to her. yet, she claimed to be her biological mother and promises of some answers came within a will, one that conceded her the ownership of a property and a teahouse, both allocated in yunhwa.
after several days of contemplation, arguments between her and her mother and research about a town she’s never heard of before, inna made a decision. one motivated by the final straw that came in the shape of a selfish partner whose only real interest was to have the perfect trophy wife. packing her whole life into cardboard boxes and several suitcases isn’t nearly as difficult as she first expected and so she leaves without looking back.
saying goodbye to seoul leaves a bittersweet taste as she drives five hours to yunhwa, only stopping when arriving at the address on the will. the woman spent almost an hour observing the front of the rather old house and it was clear that no one had habited it for months; overgrown plants on the small garden at the front, dust collecting on the windows… and the unknown behind its closed door.
she had no idea of what to expect, of what she was going to find. it’s deeply scares her, the truth has never been an easy thing to swallow and she second guesses her plans when someone, apparently her mother’s acquaintance, stops by and the first thing they tell her is “you have her eyes.”
that’s all it takes for inna to make up her mind.
still, everything feels strange to her as she steps into a house that’s now hers, but has never visited before or even had an idea of its existence. it’s overwhelming, to say the least, to encounter what inna assumes was her mother’s way of living. the further she stepped into the house, she noticed that nothing really matched and every piece of furniture seemed to have been purposely selected to differ from the rest. every chair in the dining room was different, some looked older than the rest and traces of restoration were clear on the mismatched filler between the cracks. a homemade project is what inna assumes. it was a mess, but somehow, a beautiful one.
that’s the first thing she learns about her mother: she liked to give things a second chance.
sleeping in that house wasn’t plausible for several reasons, mostly because she didn’t like the idea of reside there in its current state; the cracking floor, the thick layer of dust that caused her to sneeze repeatedly and she swears a rat had made that place its home. inna immediately planned to do some renovations and reparations and, until the bedroom and kitchen were fully functional, she’d make do by finding another place to stay.
her next stop was yeyun inn, the second location indicated in the will where he was to take over her mother’s business: the teahouse. this was something that absolutely dumbfounded inna, not knowing anything about running a place like that for her core occupation was a stark contrast from it. still, she was aware that the savings she had, despite being a respectable amount, would only last for so long and most of them would be invested in the house anyway.
troubled, she presented the will to the innkeeper as well as her living arrangements problems, which were easily solved by temporarily moving into one of the inn’s rooms. however, the teahouse was different and inna has been struggling a little to learn all there is to learn about it. four months later, inna is still in yunhwa, still learning all she can about her mother and only recently moved into her new house after some renovations were over.
it’s conflicting to be there and be constantly compared to a woman that was a complete stranger to her. somedays, inna feels flattered, especially when they mention their eyes, but most days, she’s angry. she’s resentful. she’s annoyed that the chance of meeting this seemingly wonderful woman that the whole town loved was taken away from her.
some things to note
inna has been in yunhwa for 4 months, never heard of the town before or anything about her mother. she doesn’t know if she’s here to stay permanently or what, but meanwhile, she plans to make this place her home and this is why she considers herself a citizen.
has not been in touch with her family (except her dad) since she moved into yunhwa. leaving seoul meant leaving everything behind: her job, her engagement, her family, her friends.
it’s nice to not be compared to her adoptive mother and siblings here because whenever this happened in seoul, it was all backhanded compliments… but here in yunhwa, she often has to put up with the same thing, only that nicer and because of her biological mom. sometimes she’s polite, but some days, inna immediately shuts down anyone who even tries to tell her anything (as politely as possible… or not)
actually inna’s biological and adoptive mothers knew each other. her mother adopted her because her biological mother was in a really bad stage in her life and knew she couldn’t provide her daughter the life she deserved. her adoptive mom hadn’t been able to have kids as much as she tried, so at the moment it sounded like a good idea. they made a promise to not tell inna until her mom was in a better place where she could meet her daughter without any shame.
after the adoption, both kept in touch every couple of months for her adoptive mom to update on inna’s life, achievements and everything. this is exactly why some townspeople are prone to know about inna: her mother used to show her off a lot, even showing some photos she got.
her adoptive mother wasn’t supposed to be able to have kids, but seven years after adopting inna, she got news of pregnancy… and again 2 years after that. the dynamic didn’t change much, but her mom has always been extra exigent when it comes to inna and a little more lenient with her siblings.
her biological mom got her life together after struggling for a while and became a really important part of yunhwa’s community. she helped anyone who needed it and tried to find ways to improve the town just to make life a little better. so yeah, inna’s mom was well-known, especially after she got the teahouse (approximately 20 years ago), where she welcomed anyone to share their woes or joys over a cup of tea.
the process of cleaning the house was a long process because of all the things her mother had. she kept some furniture like the table and chairs from the dining room and a beautiful desk, but the rest had been mostly ruined due to the rats. yes, rats. (its okay, the house has been fumigated.)
while going through and selecting her mom’s belongings for donations and stuff, inna found several things that she was able to keep like a box of letters her mother wrote her but never sent, tons and tons of journals she used to write short stories in and that never saw the light and her mom’s vinyls collection. (inna drove all the way to busan to get a new player because hers didn’t work anymore).
the house is still undergoing renovations, but she’s able to live there despite it since they’re done through the day while she’s at the teahouse. she’s slowly becoming a plant mom because of the beautiful lighting the house has and now that she’s not as busy as she was in seoul, she has more time and patience to take care of them properly.
is still struggling to learn the business, but doing a whole lot better than her first month running the teahouse. she also became absurdly fascinated by tea and is absolutely surprised there’s no boba tea in yunhwa yet so she’s made this resolution to learn how to make bubble tea and sell it. (looking for guinea pigs that can taste her delicious creations.)
(cw: smoking) she smokes, an awful habit she got from her working days in the city. has been trying to quit even before she moved into the town but its been to not avail. she’s managed to reduce her intake to one or two a day, but in those days that she’s more stressed, it doubles.
don’t come @ her but she has rich girl hobbies: knows how to play chess and actually enjoys it a lot, she even brought with her a board her father gave her when she was younger and is keen to find someone that plays with her, even if she has to teach them herself.
is shopping a hobby? yes, and she does it quite often though she’s found a secret joy in hunting sales. every so often she likes to splurge and label it as self-care.
enjoys a good wine anytime and if she has a craving in the middle of the night for a good bottle, she’d drive all the way to busan in order to satisfy this. maybe treat herself a dinner or perhaps clubbing? who knows.
has a car but has rarely used it since she moved into yunhwa because the town is so accessible by walking or bike that she decided to buy a bike instead. it’s her favorite method of transportation and uses it everyday to get to work.

BEST BICYCLE SERVICES IN AUSTIN TX AUSTIN BICYCLE SERVICES
Bicycle Services At Mobile Auto Truck Repair Austin Bicycle Services near Austin TX: Bicycles are refined pieces of advanced engineering. Like any precision machine, bicycles benefit greatly from regular service and maintenance. Bikes that are regularly used can easily develop less than optimum function in multiple systems without their rider noticing the incremental changes that occur over time during use. Mobile Auto Truck Repair Austin, even bicycles that are not regularly used can develop issues from sitting that affect their overall performance and their owner’s enjoyment of them. While much of the basic maintenance can be done with a few tools, anything more can require special tools and training to ensure the best results. Mobile Auto Truck Repair Austin, why invest in a high quality bicycle unless you are going to provide the care necessary to keep it in prime working condition? Gears to Wheels- Power Input and Output Caring for your bike’s drivetrain involves much more than just making sure that the gears are shifting properly and the tires have enough air. While these are essential to proper operation there are many more moving parts that need to be considered. Ensuring that all of the components are functioning takes special tools and know-how. The difference between a well maintained drivetrain and a poorly cared for, worn one is obvious in function and power output efficiency. The well maintained drivetrain will function smoothly, put power to the ground efficiently and quietly do its job without you thinking about it. To ensure optimum function you need to assess every bearing, gear and pawl between your pedals and the ground. This involves work outside of the scope of the average home mechanic. Regular bicycle service tune ups can be the difference between recording a PB or a DNF. Mobile Auto Truck Repair Austin, a well maintained properly functioning drivetrain ensures that as much of the power you input is felt in the bicycle’s output as possible. Tires and Wheels- Ride Quality, Traction and Handling Everything changes gradually on your bike. Not only from riding, but also from age which causes rubber to dry, lose elasticity and grip, and can cause greases and oils to break down. This can be very hard for many riders to sense causing them to ride components till they are well past their prime. Tires are consumable components which need regular replacement and wheels need basic maintenance to help ensure that they function properly and have a long life. They should be inspected before every ride to make sure that they have sufficient rubber, are inflated to the right pressure, have no cords showing, and no visible cracks. There is nothing you can do to your bike that will as profoundly alter its handling for the better as having the right tires for your riding type, style and conditions. Properly trued wheels with clean and greased bearings and drivers are one of the most important pieces of maintenance you can have done. Mobile Auto Truck Repair Austin,It will help improve performance while saving you money on replacement parts by improving your ride quality, reducing rolling resistance and improving handling. Bodies are complicated. So are bicycles. Each of us is unique and has different physical constraints. Your body and your bicycle should fit each other perfectly, and it makes a lot more sense to adjust the bicycle to the body than the body to the bicycle. Mobile Auto Truck Repair Austin, professional fitting will align your bicycle to your body, which will help you be comfortable and efficient while riding. I use a strategy of learning to address your individual needs, which will make you more comfortable on your bike. Mobile Auto Truck Repair Austin will work with you to understand your goals of riding, physical limitations, injuries, strength, flexibility, and range of motion, to create an ideal position that brings health, not pain, to the body. Through a process of education about position, form, alignment and balance, I will help you begin a new understanding of your relationship with your bike. Bicycle fitting Bicycle fitting is the process of adjusting a bike for a cyclist to optimize their comfort, performance and efficiency. Cyclists often experience overuse injuries such as cyclist's palsy, cyclist back, and Anterior Knee Pain. and this is often due to an incorrectly set up cycle. Bike fitting aims to prevent injuries, increase efficiency, comfort and improve performance for all cyclists. Bike fitting is for anybody who cycles, particularly if an overuse injury has occurred, to maximise their enjoyment and performance. Indication Bike fitting is for anybody who cycles. A good bicycle fit goes a long way to prevent overuse injuries and helps muscles and lungs function at best ability, all improving performance and enjoyment. ● everyday cyclists ● touring cyclists ● tri-athletes ● Clinical Presentation who complain of: buttock; back; lower limb; upper limb and neck pain associated with cycling. Often the cyclist may have tried pressure garments to relieve areas of pressure eg gel pads in gloves, gel seat covers, upright handlebars. Often these are a band aid solution to an incorrectly fitted cycle.
To fit or not to fit? Bicycle Services near Austin TX: There are of course ways to set up your bike position yourself and this is still what most people do. There are plenty of handy online guides out there if you don’t feel you want to splash out on a bike fit. The decision whether to get a fit or not will also depend on how seriously you take your cycling. If you are riding purely for fun and perhaps use your bike infrequently using an online guide will be fine. However, if you are looking to race or ride sports then it’s certainly something to at least consider. One way to look at a bike fit is as an investment. It’ll certainly start you off on the right foot as it were. If you do go for a fit, ensure you do your research first. Bear in mind that as you develop and change as a rider (weight loss, increased flexibility, core strength) your position may change too. It’s a fluid, dynamic ongoing process. Many top pros regularly tinker with their position as they evolve as riders. Ultimately it’s up to you. You certainly don’t need a bike fit as most of us (including myself) have got to where we are using trial and error and a basic knowledge of the ideal set up, as well as taking advice from experienced riders. But, if you have the budget, are serious about your cycling and keen to ‘fast forward’ through the trial and error phase and want to fully optimize your cycling efficiency, then go ahead. Visit your local Mobile Auto Truck Repair Austin to learn about their bike fit services. Happy riding!
The Importance Of A Good Saddle Seat And Why You Have To Change It Bicycle Services near Austin TX: Pain from your bicycle seat doesn't have to come with the territory. Pain in the saddle can be an indication of many things, including an incorrectly sized seat, inadequate padding and poor positioning. Diagnosing your saddle pain and correcting it can help you enjoy your ride without worrying about potentially damaging any sensitive tissue. A correction to your saddle position could also improve your pedaling efficiency, giving you more power on those tough hills. Sizing Up Your Seat Eliminating saddle pain starts with a correctly sized seat that properly distributes your weight. More padding isn't the solution; you want your contact point with the saddle to be directly on your sit bones, which jut out from your pelvis underneath the flesh of your buttocks. To find your sit bones, try sitting on a table or other flat surface. The two points that contact this surface most firmly are your sit bones. Find a saddle with a width that matches these contact points. Most bike shops have an accredited bike fitter on staff that can assist you in finding the exact measurement. Less Is More With too much cushioning, you may be distributing your weight between your legs, where pressure and vibration can damage sensitive tissue. A good bicycle seat uses high-density foam that matches your sit bones and provides good cushioning without improperly cradling your weight. A channel down the center of some bike seats eliminates contact altogether, which can relieve saddle-related pain or numbness. Finding the right balance between cushion and support is key to eliminating your pain, so don't be afraid to ask to try a few saddles at your local bike shop. Sitting Pretty The proper position in your bicycle seat can make a big difference in your comfort. With your bike leaned up against a wall, mount your seat and rotate the pedals so that one crank is pointed straight to the floor. While seated, your knee should be just slightly bent and you shouldn't be straining to reach the pedals. Now that your seat is correct, lean forward, grab the handlebars and adjust your stem height until the position is natural and your neck isn't craning. If you can't get your positioning right, check that your bike frame is the correct size by matching your inseam to the manufacturer's sizing chart. If it isn't correct and you do a lot of cycling, it's worth your time to try and get a properly sized bike. Finding a Short Solution A pair of cycling shorts is a necessity for rides further than a few miles. All professional cyclists use them, and they come in a wide variety of price ranges, styles and materials. Cycling shorts have a chamois pad built in that provides extra cushion when you're in the saddle and can relieve a lot of issues associated with cycling such as soreness, chafing and numbness. If you want to get the most out of your ride, coupling your seat with a pair of cycling shorts is the safest and most comfortable way to ride.
TIPS 5 Bicycle Fit Tips That’ll Improve Your Comfort and Power Bicycle Services near Austin TX: How you position yourself on the bike makes a huge difference in terms of comfort, power, and aerodynamics. While it’s a good idea for all cyclists and triathletes to get a professional bike fit, there are some basic guidelines you can use to troubleshoot problem areas and generally set yourself up in a neutral position. The goal is to achieve a position that allows you to ride your bike without creating any injuries and one that will allow you to ride your bike for years. As an added bonus, the right fit will also make you more efficient and powerful. Try a Saddle Before You Buy Finding the right saddle can be a bit of a process because it’s important to find the curvature, width, and shape that is comfortable for you. Saddles with more curvature (and/or a channel down the center) are often great for athletes who have limited flexibility through the hips and lower back. The curvature allows you to rotate your hips forward more easily without putting too much pressure on sensitive areas. The width and amount of padding in the saddle also have a big impact on comfort and performance. Finding the right saddle may take some time and some trial and error, so work with your local bike shop – many have a loaner program – so you don’t have to make a huge financial investment. A quick ride in the parking lot is often not enough to tell you whether a saddle will work for you in the long run Determining Saddle Setback Move the saddle forward or backward so your knee is over the pedal spindle when the crank is in the 3 o’clock position. Again, this is a good starting point, and then you can adjust your cleats fore and aft as needed. Use your thumb to feel the ball of your foot on the inside of your shoe. With a pen, put a small mark on this point of your shoe so you can set the cleat using this as a landmark. Basics of Setting Saddle Height While you can dial this in perfectly with a professional fit, here are some guidelines for roughly setting up your saddle height. These are especially useful when you have to jump on a loaner bike or even a bike in a hotel fitness center. Start with the saddle in a level position, parallel to the floor. Sitting on the saddle, pedal with your heels on the pedals. Your foot should maintain contact with the pedal without having to rock your hips. Pay Attention to the Shoe-Pedal Connection The pedals are your third point of contact with the bike. It’s important that the platform is large enough to feel secure (not like you’re standing on ice cubes). And the most critical piece will be adjusting the cleats properly, to make sure you have a stable and tight shoe to pedal connection that will ensure optimal power transfer and allow you to ride injury-free. As a general starting point for many riders, you can set the middle indicator on the cleat slightly back, about 5mm, from the ball of your foot. The angling of cleats and the lateral distance they are set from the crank (Q-factor) is dependent on each rider’s individual body structure, however, you want to make sure you don’t feel any twisting or tension in the ankles, knees, and hips while pedaling. You can start with the cleats set straight ahead and make minor adjustments from there. Note that each foot could require different angling. Handlebar Width and Reach Makes a Difference Bicycle Services near Austin TX: With the handlebar, look at the drop and the width of the bars. If you have relatively small hands or a shorter torso, look for a shallow drop bar. The width of the bar should match the width of your shoulders, which will keep your arms in a neutral position when your hands are on the brake hoods. You also want to ensure the handlebar reach is neither too long or short, as it can cause neck, shoulder, back pain, and compromise bike handling. You should be able to reach the hoods with a comfortable bend in the elbows without feeling like you need to scoot your body forward or backward on the saddle.

Resident Evil Village: How Lady Dimitrescu’s Height Recalls Castlevania’s Dracula
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Weeks after her reveal, Resident Evil fans are still obsessed with Lady Alcina Dimitrescu, the latest standout villain in a series full of them. Specifically, gamers are unexpectedly taken by her height. When you look her up on Google or Twitter, you’ll find people talking about how tall she is, and more recently, how her height compares to other villains in the franchise.
Kotaku initially speculated in a very entertaining article that Lady Dimitrescu was eight feet tall, but Capcom set the record straight this week, cheekily announcing the character’s height on Twitter:
Your love for Lady Dimitrescu is loud and clear. 👒 Here's a message from our RE Village art director Tomonori Takano, along with a very curious fact you may have wondered about: pic.twitter.com/Lj4m5pN2dJ

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });
In case you don’t know, 9’6″ is really goddamn tall. In fact, she absolutely towers over than the tallest recorded human, Robert Wadlow, who was 8’11”, according to The Verge. Of course, Lady Dimitrescu is a fictional character, so maybe that stat isn’t that impressive (although her height will likely intimidate anyone who runs into her in the game). But even when comparing her to other Resident Evil villains, Dimitrescu is still one of the tallest of the bunch.
A Redditor even put together the following chart (via Games Radar) that puts things into perspective. (I should note that it’s unclear how this user verified each villain’s height for this chart but we’re going to roll with it for the sake of having fun.)
Got bored today so I did this height chart which should put the big guns of the series into context. from r/residentevil
According to this chart, Mr. X and Nemesis, two of the series’ most popular baddies, would be absolutely eclipsed by their vampiric colleague were they all in a room together. And classic Resident Evil hero Leon S. Kennedy would have A LOT to worry about, too. Only Thanatos and UMF-013 could beat Dimitrescu in a dunk contest but who cares about them?
The more important question is whether a Resident Evil villain, and a vampire at that, really needs to be that tall to begin with? After all, Resident Evil 7 and Village protagonist Ethan Winters isn’t exactly what you’d call a formidable hero, especially when compared to mainstays like Leon, Chris Redfield, and Jill Valentine. Unlike his predecessors, Ethan is barely aware of the larger conspiracies and evil corporations behind his adventures, and he certainly hasn’t been trained to fight them. Ethan is an everyman by design, a character who exists as an avatar for the player in a really confusing and frightening situation.
In Resident Evil 7, Capcom smartly used Ethan as the point-of-view character in order to strip down the franchise’s winding tale of global conspiracies and biological warfare to something much more intimate but no less terrifying: a guy stuck in a creepy mansion full of homicidal maniacs and sludge monsters. The game just wouldn’t have had the same effect had a seriously ripped Chris Redfield kicked open the doors of the Baker estate to kick parasite ass.
My point is that throwing a 9’6″ vampire queen at Ethan seems like overkill, but bosses that tower over even the most ordinary human protagonists aren’t all that rare in video games. In fact, the specific tradition of tall vampire bosses hearkens back to one of the longest-running horror game franchises in history: Castlevania.
If you’re one of the lucky ’80s kids who played the original on the NES, you likely remember the game’s final boss fight with the Prince of Darkness, who stands several heads taller than the tough-as-nails, whip-wielding Simon Belmont.
After fighting your way through a gauntlet of Universal Monster-inspired creatures, you finally reach The Count’s coffin. Entering the the chamber, only the vampire’s purple head appears out of the shadows at first before the Count’s true size is revealed. It’s a classic gaming moment that likely intimidated many children back in 1986, even if the boss fight itself seems relatively uninspired by today’s standards.
The Count’s height and modes of attack bring a lot of verticality to the fight, as Simon must jump over the fireballs the vampire shoots from behind his cape and land a hit with his whip on his way down. And when The Count transforms into his final bat monster form, Simon must again jump around and hit the creature’s weakpoint, his head. Needless to say, The Count’s height is his defining feature here, just as it is Lady Dimitrescu’s in promotional materials for Resident Evil Village.
Trevor Belmont faced an even more imposing version of Dracula in Castlevania III, one with multiple forms, including as a giant floating skull monster. Again, the focus of the fight is The Count’s sheer size. And when the series transitioned to 3D with Castlevania 64 in 1999, it continued that tradition.
My guess is that Ethan’s inevitable battle with Lady Dimitrescu will share few similarities with the more platform-heavy boss fights of Castlevania but at least one aspect could make its way to Resident Evil Village: a horrifying final form akin to Dracula’s bat monster. After all, Marguerite Baker and Eveline had nightmarish final mutations in Resident Evil 7.
What could be waiting underneath Dimitrescu’s elegant exterior? The Maiden demo has already revealed that the vampire is hiding incredibly sharp claws perfect for impaling her prey, and there are likely to be more surprises.
Other similarities between Lady Dimitrescu and Castlevania‘s main villain are more obvious, such as the fact that the Resident Evil antagonist commands her own castle and minions. The game also features other enemies you’d be more likely to find in Castlevania than in Resident Evil until now, including a witch and a werewolf.
But while these are all classic horror tropes we’ve seen in other gaming franchises, Lady Dimitrescu’s arrival is an exciting new twist to the Resident Evil formula, and it’s not surprising fans are anxious to learn more about her ahead of the game’s release. She’s a new kind of Resident Evil villain, and judging by the reception so far, one gamers won’t soon forget.
Resident Evil Village is out on May 7 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
