M&L April Fool's Special: A Cacophony of Mixed Nuts
2023.04.01 06:04 Lothli M&L April Fool's Special: A Cacophony of Mixed Nuts
Lothli woke up bright and early this Saturday, as always. Then, with a yawn, she checked her phone: April 1st.
Was there something important happening today? I don’t quite remember…
Her thoughts were quickly swept away by the mundanity of her morning routine. Pulling on clothes, brushing her teeth, doing her hair…
And so, she was entirely caught off guard when she arrived in the kitchen.
Her twin sister cackled like a madwoman, stirring a gigantic cauldron smelling burnt iron, cotton candy, and writer’s tears.
“Maishul, what exactly have you done?” Lothli sighed, ambling over to the bubbling cauldron.
“This? Oh, just a little April Fool’s prank!” the other twin giggled before pulling out a miniature figurine of a strange humanoid insect. With a snap of her fingers, the statuette grew to full size, glancing around warily.
“Oh goodness! What’s going on here?” the moth woman exclaimed, seeming more confused than frightened. “What kind of insect are you? I’ve never seen anyone with just four limbs like you two!”
Lothli turned to Maishul, a frown on her face. “Is this Minerva? Did you STEAL her? We’re going to get banned, you know.”
The other twin continued cackling, heedless of Lothli’s wrath. “No, no, I got permission! Look!”
Indeed, the paper Maishul pulled out did have the signatures of one, two… how many authors?!
“Maishul, what the heck have you done?” Lothli huffed. “This is— how do we—”
“Excuse me, but I believe I may be lost?” Minerva asked, her wings fluttering nervously. “While I would love to ask the two of you some questions, I need to return to my lab, if you could point me in the right direction?”
“Oh, I apologize, Dr. Minerva. You’re currently experiencing a dream. Please do forget about this,” Lothli sighed before snapping her fingers and reverting the insectoid woman to her figurine form.
“How exactly are we going to explain this to Polaris?” Lothli deadpanned with her gaze on her happy-go-lucky sibling.
“Oh, I have a good ‘ol industrial barrel of Remove-Yo-Memory. I’m sure it’ll turn out fine!” Maishul grinned back. “Look, look! Let me show you what wonderful scenes I’ve cooked up for everyone!”
Scene One: Art’s Very Bad, No Good Day I was not having a good day. First, I was thrown into yet another random plane of existence. Dimension hopping was something I wanted to experience no more than one time in my life; thank you very much. And yet, here I was. In yet another random plane of existence with absolutely no say.
“Iklem.”
Second all, I found myself surrounded by these strange creatures. Four legs, shimmering black pelt, bizarre snake-like neck, flat head, creepy singular eye, and that weirdly human voice. Definitely not a fan.
“Iklem.”
The three Iklems crept—
Ahem. The plural of Iklem is Iklemli, Art.
And thirdly, that obnoxious voice ringing out in my head. Who was that? Why were they in my head? And why could they read my thoughts?
Fine. The three Iklemli crept closer and closer, predatory intent clear. I backed away slowly before my phone suddenly burst out with the cheery tune of Weird Al singing, “Just eat it (eat it), eat it (eat it)...”
“I’m in the mother of all situations here, Demoness, and you choose a freaking parody song? Can you at least tell me what the hell is happening here?” I snarled into my phone’s mic, watching the approaching monsters closely.
“M’dear, I hate to say it, but I have no clue what’s happening.” The slight strain in the Demoness’s usually sultry voice gave me pause. That Demoness? Confused? I really was in some deep shit, wasn’t I?
“Could you at least tell me what an Iklem is?” I said, imitating those creatures as best I could.
“My love, how do I explain this? As best as I could tell, at least five foreign dimensions have been forced together into one singular mess. And whoever did it had no grace or finesse at all.”
Tell the Demoness that she has no grace or finesse, either! Hmph!
Rolling my eyes, I communicated the feelings of my new head neighbor to the Demoness.
“Well, dear, tell your new friend that they should consider undoing this fiasco,” the Demoness replied with a sigh. “Whatever the case is, those Iklemli you mentioned are from one of those other dimensions. I can’t tell you a thing about them.”
With that good news, I turned back to the advancing beasts. This was going to be a fun one…
“Maishul, you can’t just break the fourth wall and shove your thoughts into the scene,” Lothli huffed, shaking her head.
“Pfffft!” Maishul blew a raspberry before turning back to her abomination of a cauldron.
“Also, you can’t just swap to first-person narration. We’re in third-person narration.”
“Well, Matt writes in first-person. And I respect our fellow author’s intent; thank you very much!”
Lothli raised an eyebrow in response before pointing to the bubbling cauldron of doom. “You call THAT respecting our fellow authors’ intents?”
“They gave permission!” Maishul pouted before turning back to her inglorious creation. “And you won’t complain once you see my next glorious scene!”
Scene Two: Sloth Squared Pride’s scowl only grew deeper as he dragged his erstwhile companion along. The swampland around them had warped into a blooming forest, with trees looming large overhead. The various fully intact buildings were most concerning, indicating that the pair had passed into a rift.
“Sloth, GET UP!” he hissed, shaking the lazy layabout.
“Huh? Wuzzit? I’m sleepin…” Sloth snored, already back asleep.
“We’ve got a MAJOR problem here. Pretty sure a rift opened around us, so stay on guard!”
Sloth blearily stumbled to his feet before glancing wide-eyed at his surroundings.
“Holy cow, you’re right! I didn’t even notice. But, man, Pride, I’m so tired… I…” Sloth stumbled a bit further before faceplanting directly into a bed of flowers.
“Dammit, Sloth. This is ridiculous, even for your standards.” Pride leaned down to pick Sloth back up, but something strange was afoot. As soon as he leaned down, an overwhelming surge of exhaustion passed through him as well, and he collapsed on top of his companion.
“Dude, you’re sleeping right on top of a good patch. Can you two move?” A voice lazily drifted into Pride’s mind before he rocketed up ramrod straight.
“Hwa— what!? Oh. A rifter.” Pride composed himself as he stared down at the man who awoke him. About five foot six, with short white hair and red eyes.
“Uh, I’m not a rifter or whatever you just called me. I’m Clear, prince of Sloth. And you?” Clear tilted his head.
“Prince… of me? Ehehe, there’s no prince of me…” Sloth murmured in his sleep.
“Typical rifter, spewing nonsense. Come on, you lazy bum. We’re gonna hide before this gets violent.” Pride turned to drag Sloth away but found his legs unwilling to move.
“Hey, man. C’mon now. You haven’t noticed you’re in a dream yet?” Clear said, his hand extended. “Let’s just talk, alright?”
Pride struggled for a few more moments, then back at Clear. “Alright, alright, never seen a rifter do that before. Calm down, yeah? I’ll chat until this rift collapses.”
“So please, introduce yourself properly this time,” Clear responded, freeing Pride with a flick of his hand.
“Right. I’m Pride, that’s Sloth.” Pride pointed at himself, then at his companion. “Can we go?” “No. Please explain what you are doing here and those wings on your back.” Clear yawned. “Also, don’t use our nation’s name as a moniker. It’s probably disrespectful… or something. Eh, we don’t actually care that much.”
“Huh? We’re here because your stupid rift pulled us in,” Pride hissed. “And these wings? We were born with ’em. No story here. Also, pretty sure we were the ones who had those names first.”
“Eh, the kingdom of Pride wouldn’t be very happy to hear about that,” Clear responded. “But whatever, man. Things have been rather chill ever since a random blob named Sparky fell on top of the Demon King and ate him or whatever. So enjoy the nap, I guess. Mind if I join in?”
Pride rolled his eyes before scooting over to allow Clear access to the flowers. Before long, Sloth and Clear were snuggled up together, much to the chagrin of Pride.
“What the hell am I supposed to do now?”
“Aren’t they just the cutest?!” Maishul exclaimed. “We should make that our newest OTP. I bet Haru would approve.”
“Please don’t ship characters across two different SerSuns,” Lothli replied with a shake of her head. “Also what was that about Sparky eating the Demon King—”
“OKAYNEXTSCENE!!”
Scene Three: Machines, Demons, and The World Tree
There was a rather strange rash of oddly dressed folk in Lugavya lately. Or rather, just odd folk in general.
Rumors flew of a human with bird wings who passed over the town, carried through hurried whispers between the residents. A strange man with fierce red eyes insisting on making ‘deals,’ much to the annoyance of passersby trying to get through their day.
Lena and Veska had met to investigate, unable to keep themselves still while such strange events abounded. No sooner had the two exchanged greetings did two strange men approach, flagrantly discarding any sensibilities on their right to free speech.
“Hello!” the younger one called out before getting his head gently bonked by the older.
“W-what was it? Oh! The greeting we use should have been ‘well met,’ right?” the teenage boy puzzled himself, rubbing his head.
“No. Firstly, as foreign visitors, we do not use that greeting. Secondly, we do not greet them. They greet us,” the older whispered, turning his eyes to Lena and Veska. It seemed at least one of them remembered their manners.
“Peace, strangers. We will not begrudge you for your transgressions. Tell me, what business have you with us?” Lena began.
“We are looking for directions. We have lost our way. Please, would you tell us our current location? Latitude and longitude are preferred, but any notable landmarks will do.” The older man bowed slightly, with the younger following shortly after.
Latitude? Longitude? These words were unfamiliar to Lena and Veska.
“This is Lugavya. Home to Alvedos, the World Tree?” Veska explained, an eyebrow raised. Were these folks raised under a rock or something?
The two men conversed among themselves, their frowns deepening.
“Apologies, but I am unaware of Lugavya. Could you perhaps point us in the direction of the United States?” the older asked, tilting his head slightly.
“Oh, and if you know of any demons, could you put in a word for me? I can’t figure out the ritual to get home without one of them…” the younger added.
The United States? Demons? More unfamiliar terms. Lena and Veska knew these newcomers were oddballs, but this was a bit much.
“I’m sorry—really! But we simply don’t have the knowledge to help the two of you. Perhaps you could head to the Foresters? I’ll give you their location.” Lena rattled off directions to the nearby Foresters’ hall.
“Thank you very much.” The older man stalked off after a stiff bow, and the younger man quickly followed.
“Sticks and stones, what is the world coming to?”
“Was that Megan’s SerSun? All that intricately balanced worldbuilding, and you just shoved random crap in.” Lothli barely held back a sigh. “Also, you didn’t even introduce those two characters. How are our readers supposed to know who they are?”
“This is left as an exercise to the reader,” Maishul tittered into the camera before returning to the glorious mess in her cauldron.
“Next scene!”
Scene Four: The One With No Chill
There wasn’t much that could faze a Huntress.
It was often said that their wills were unshakable. Nothing could cause them to stop them from single-mindedly accomplishing their goal. And yet, Olivia stood dead in her tracks, staring at the abomination across the Dam square.
“I AM OLIVIA. DARK HUNTRESS. SMASHER OF SQUEAKERS. AND THE ONE WITH NO CHILL,” the awful creature that vaguely resembled Olivia boomed.
“That young lass a friend of yours?” Barlow remarked, barely holding back a chuckle.
“Nope.” Olivia chucked one of her daggers at the offending sight, but she deflected the blade with a ripple of its musculature.
“You are weak. You have no strength. Witness me, false Olivia.” The muscle monster took up a ridiculous pose, her muscles overtly flexing.
“I will destroy you. And after that, I will destroy your creator. And I’ll salt your entire bloodline, while I’m at it,” Olivia snarled.
“I would like to see you try, false Olivia. Last time, I was overcome by the power of the Deus Ex Machina. But this time, I will not be struck down.” The monster took a step forward, the cobblestones cracking under her feet.
Olivia flinched. A Huntress does not feel fear. A Huntress does not back down. Yet… in the face of this horrible being… Her mind recalled the near-death experience she had with the Beast. Did she really want to face that again?
She shook her head, clearing it. No. She would finish this. Olivia raced at the mocking facsimile of herself, her onyx daggers at the ready. As she drew closer, she summoned every ounce of strength and struck.
As Olivia flew through the air, the world seemed to slow down.
Ah… this feels… familiar…
“‘Admittedly, Huntress, you are quite the entertainer—”
“No!” Lothli slapped the figurines out of Maishul’s hands, sinking them into the dreadful mire of the cauldron below. “You can’t reuse that line for the third time!”
“But you used it, Lothli. That’s hypocritical!” Maishul harrumphed.
“Yes, because it was the first time we used it. You can’t just reuse jokes like that!” Lothli glared. “And don’t think I forgot about that comment Clear made about Sparky. What. Exactly. Did you do?”
“Uhm, uhh…” Maishul stuttered. “W-Well, I maybe kinda spilled some my Story-Breaking-Plot-Devices into the cauldron on accident…”
“Your WHATS?!” Lothli stared at her twin in disbelief.
“Uhh, it wasn’t a big deal or anything. Just, uh... Scarlet, the Demon King, Sparky, Wan, Pre-Geas Dread Lord Ardus, the plague from, the Deus Ex Machina, the Beast, and the entirety of the United States’ arsenal of nuclear weaponry.”
Lothli shook her head with a sigh. “I’m pretty sure you caused mass human extinction at least three times over.”
“Well! No time to worry about it! Next scene!”
Scene Five: Bea and Ophelia Discover The Wonders of Nuclear Physics
Bea and Ophelia stared at the booklet that had just materialized before them. “Maishul’s Simple Guide to Stealing and Utilizing the Entirety of the United States’ Arsenal of Nuclear Weaponry: For Dummies!” The booklet was decorated with garish stickers of rainbows and glitter, along with cartoonish mushroom clouds.
With a glance at Ophelia, Bea picked up the book. Immediately, her mind was flooded with images and knowledge. Where exactly every nuclear silo in the United States was located. The launch codes and how to bypass the two-key rule. The birth and loving families of each and every nuclear warhead…?
“Bea? Dear? Are you alright?” Ophelia shook Bea gently, concerned. Bea wordlessly handed over the booklet and watched the same information flow through her. The two shared a meaningful glance before turning the manual over. A bright red button sat there, glowing ominously amongst the childish stickers and drawings of shocked faces.
“This is absolutely too dangerous to be left just lying around,” Bea murmured, staring at the booklet intently. Maybe it was a prank some lesser fae put together to induce some concerning but ultimately harmless illusions. But deep down, the two knew this was far more sinister than a simple prank. Plus, there was no fae named “Maishul” that either of them knew of.
“I’m going to have to seal this thing away with the strongest magic I have,” Ophelia declared. With a wave of her hand, ethereal chains weaved around the book. Magical seals whirled through the air, all concentrated on the offending manual. The horrors of nuclear annihilation have been contained with a final clap of her hands.
For around five seconds. Immediately after the ritual was complete, as if to spite Ophelia’s work, a glowing sword descended from the heavens, slicing through the glowing chains and seals like butter. The two barely managed to glimpse the name written on the side: “The Deus Ex Machina,” before the blade landed squarely on the big red button with a satisfying click!
“Shit.”
“So what exactly were you saying about ‘not worrying about it’?” Lothli shook her head in dismay. “How are we going to explain this mess to their poor, poor writers? What are we going to say to Bay?”
“It’ll be fine! I’m not breaking any of the rules on shortstories, which means I totally can’t be banned!” Maishul quipped cheerily.
“That is 100% not how it works.” Lothli crossed her arms. “Don’t drag me down with you.”
“I dunno! You’ll bail me out, right?” Maishul shrugged before returning to her appalling project. “Next scene!”
Scene Six: Sanguia Loses a Fight
These were the end times. The world felt… sideways. The government was in shambles. A plague that turned people into fine, yellow dust had apparently appeared, sweeping the continent from east to west. Yet, there was nothing I could do. Right in front of me, I had my own foes to contend with on the roof of Holos Lucidium.
On my right was a shapeless mass, writhing and transforming, throwing vicious barbs my way. It never introduced itself, but I knew its name from within myself: the Beast.
On my left was a much more innocent figure, at least on the surface. He had slicked-back black hair, brown eyes simmering with self-assured pride, and an easy smirk. And to cap it off, he introduced himself promptly and with great gusto; he was Dread Lord Ardus.
I could attempt to flee, but what purpose would that serve? Even if I got away, which my gut told me was highly unlikely, I would be abandoning my guild to die to these two monsters. So no. I stood my ground here.
“Sanguia. Member of Holos Lucidium.” I balanced my stance between my two flanks, watching both. With a smirk from Ardus and a ripple from the Beast, the fight began.
I quickly discarded the idea of even fighting the rippling mass on my right. It had no blood I could control, and impacting it with my blade would make me stuck. But the Dread Lord was no slouch, either.
As I rushed at Ardus, a tingle in my spine screamed at me to duck. I tucked into a combat roll as a great blast of flame roared right where I used to be.
“Fiesty, aren’t you? Well, that’s what makes it fun,” the Dread Lord growled, licking his lips.
I had no time to respond as a raging, shimmering bull attempted to ram its gleaming horns directly through me. I sprung off the ground, landing just behind the writhing bull. There was no time to go on the offensive; it took all I could to stay alive.
“Stop struggling, Interloper,” the Beast snarled. “I have plans I have to attend to. Plans that do not involve you.”
I kept the undulating mass between myself and my second opponent. My only hope was to promote crossfire. The dagger I held in my right hand felt woefully inadequate for this task.
“You heard the fella. I’ll end this, here and now.” Ardus thrust his hand straight up into the air as if grasping something far above him.
“Dread Lord. May I take this as a sign of betrayal?” The Beast rumbled, a dangerous edge to its voice.
“Nah, I never said I was working with you. You’re too… icky for my tastes.” The Dread Lord tapped his chin thoughtfully. “It’s a good thing you’ll be obliterated in an instant. Ta ta!”
I looked up with a heavy heart, knowing how outclassed I was. There was barely time to say goodbye before a massive ball of light enveloped me in its all-consuming shine. The last thing I managed to think was:
That was an utterly unfair fight.
“Well, the protagonist of our SerSun just died. What now?” Lothli looked at the cauldron in dismay.
“Hey, it’s not so bad! Scarlet is still alive, right?” Maishul dug around in the cauldron before pulling out yet another distended scene. “Look! Here she is!”
“What… is that?” Lothli looked at the scene with equal parts awe and disgust.
“Oh! Well, I really liked Fye’s SerSun, so I made my own! Isn’t it great?”
“Maishul, I think you missed the entire point of his SerSun. Where’s the inter-character drama? Where’s the mystery? Where’s the actual HISTORY?” Lothli poked the off-kilter scene with distaste. “This version of the story is just <Murder.>.”
“Well too bad, dear ‘ol sis! Here! We! Go!”
Scene Seven: Murder Without the History
Hi, I’m Benedict Lushon, Ben for short. Somehow, I think I just unlocked the secret to teleportation. I stand in the middle of the mansion’s dining room, feeling my stomach turn violently. One moment, I was chained in front of a cackling Kyle, and the next thing I know, we’re back in this blasted room. I crane my head, checking who else is here.
Teddy, check. His monocle and top hat are still crooked as he looks around the room, just as confused as I.
Cornell, check. Unfortunately, he still seems to be out cold.
Kyle, check. Wait—
I stride up to Kyle and grab onto his lapels. “What exactly have you done?” I say, shaking him back and forth.
Unfortunately, he seems even more confused by the current events than I am, judging by the bulging eyes and frothing at the mouth.
“W-What exactly happened here!? We were just— and then—” my former coworker manages to sputter out before a booming feminine voice rings out from the walls.
“Heya! What’s up, characters! It’s me, ya girl Maishul, back at it again with another fun murdery twist!” The cheery voice that booms out from the walls contrasts with all the horrors we’ve seen thus far. Also, who talks like this? Did we get kidnapped by one of those Instagram influencers? Ugh, I hate those kinds of people.
“Who are you?! What have you done?!” Kyle screams, his voice cracking. “I have waited YEARS to take my revenge on these fools, and you—”
“Oh. You.” The voice seems displeased at the interruption. “Sorry, I didn’t think your Tuffy plotline was interesting, so I retconned it!”
Now, that was the mark of a bad writer. As a future multi-bestselling author, I know that one of the most sinful things a writer can do is randomly retcon the story. I’m confident this random influencer girl will never go anywhere in her writing career.
“YOU! We were known as the Tufforo family, and we—” Kyle rages before being cut off by the voice again.
“Sorry, don’t care.” A piece of duct tape manifests itself directly onto Kyle’s mouth. I would find it funny if it didn’t demonstrate how supernatural this influencer’s power seems.
“Anyways! Here’s the rules. I’m not really good at that being cryptic thing, so it’ll be easy!” the voice announces with glee. “Here’s my super special sparkly OC, do not steal, known as Scarlet, Scourge of the Americas. She’ll try and chase you down! She wins when you’re all dead. You all win when, I don’t know, she dies of old age or something. You can try to kill her; it won’t work!”
‘Super special sparkly OC, do not steal?’ So, what, did I find myself in some hellish parody of Earth? That must be it. This must all be a very terrible dream. I sincerely hope that none of my readers would ever consider making fanfiction like this of my stories.
“By jove, those rules seem downright unfair!” Teddy finally seems to have found his voice. “Please, good madam, could you let us go? We have already suffered at the hands of that accursed man—”
“Lalala, can’t hear you!” the girl’s voice sang out. “Here she comes! Give it up for… Scarlet!”
A hidden panel drops a… rather regular-looking young woman onto the floor. Why, if I were in charge, I would have ensured that my villain would have a spectacular appearance. Someone as fascinating and spellbinding as Jack the Ripper—
Scarlet dashes at Kyle and [REDACTED]
… … Technical Difficulties
“MAISHUL! What the hell was that?! Is that how you talk when I’m not around? And what the hell was that last section?” Lothli furiously slapped the tortured scene back into the accursed project bubbling menacingly below.
“Well, Scarlet’s kinda messy, so I tried to cover it up,” Maishul pouted. “Also, I was just trying to liven up the scene a bit! Kyle’s so BORING. He speaks in RIDDLES and they make my brain HURT.”
“That’s because you don’t have a single brain cell in that head of yours,” Lothli huffed. “Don’t make such sweeping changes to people’s stories!”
“Well… dear sis, could I trouble you for a favor, since I’m so head empty ‘n all?” Maishul smiled her widest, most brilliant smile.
“What.” The other twin glared back, unimpressed.
“Well, if you don’t want the two of us to get banned, can you help me separate these stories back out? Please?” With a fluttering of her eyelashes and a winsome wink, this would undoubtedly win her sister to her side—
“Deal with it yourself. I’m going to hand out apologies.” Lothli had no sympathy for her twin’s plight.
“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!” Maishul cried. For now, she was burdened with her least favorite task; actual work.
And thus, this tale comes to a close. Nevertheless, its name will ring true throughout the land as the legendary fable known only as “In the Shadow of Machines, Scarlet, and the In Between Geas and the Beginning of the Demon Murder History: Dissonance, also How Did We Get Here?”
Thank you very much for your time. And apologies for my sister.
Lothli, signing off.

“This? Oh, just a little April Fool’s prank!” the other twin giggled before pulling out a miniature figurine of a strange humanoid insect. With a snap of her fingers, the statuette grew to full size, glancing around warily.
“Oh goodness! What’s going on here?” the moth woman exclaimed, seeming more confused than frightened. “What kind of insect are you? I’ve never seen anyone with just four limbs like you two!”
Lothli turned to Maishul, a frown on her face. “Is this Minerva? Did you STEAL her? We’re going to get banned, you know.”
The other twin continued cackling, heedless of Lothli’s wrath. “No, no, I got permission! Look!”
Indeed, the paper Maishul pulled out did have the signatures of one, two… how many authors?!
“Maishul, what the heck have you done?” Lothli huffed. “This is— how do we—”
“Excuse me, but I believe I may be lost?” Minerva asked, her wings fluttering nervously. “While I would love to ask the two of you some questions, I need to return to my lab, if you could point me in the right direction?”
“Oh, I apologize, Dr. Minerva. You’re currently experiencing a dream. Please do forget about this,” Lothli sighed before snapping her fingers and reverting the insectoid woman to her figurine form.
“How exactly are we going to explain this to Polaris?” Lothli deadpanned with her gaze on her happy-go-lucky sibling.
“Oh, I have a good ‘ol industrial barrel of Remove-Yo-Memory. I’m sure it’ll turn out fine!” Maishul grinned back. “Look, look! Let me show you what wonderful scenes I’ve cooked up for everyone!”
“Iklem.”
Second all, I found myself surrounded by these strange creatures. Four legs, shimmering black pelt, bizarre snake-like neck, flat head, creepy singular eye, and that weirdly human voice. Definitely not a fan.

“Well, dear, tell your new friend that they should consider undoing this fiasco,” the Demoness replied with a sigh. “Whatever the case is, those Iklemli you mentioned are from one of those other dimensions. I can’t tell you a thing about them.”
With that good news, I turned back to the advancing beasts. This was going to be a fun one…
“Pfffft!” Maishul blew a raspberry before turning back to her abomination of a cauldron.
“Also, you can’t just swap to first-person narration. We’re in third-person narration.”
“Well, Matt writes in first-person. And I respect our fellow author’s intent; thank you very much!”
Lothli raised an eyebrow in response before pointing to the bubbling cauldron of doom. “You call THAT respecting our fellow authors’ intents?”
“They gave permission!” Maishul pouted before turning back to her inglorious creation. “And you won’t complain once you see my next glorious scene!”
“Sloth, GET UP!” he hissed, shaking the lazy layabout.
“Huh? Wuzzit? I’m sleepin…” Sloth snored, already back asleep.
“We’ve got a MAJOR problem here. Pretty sure a rift opened around us, so stay on guard!”
Sloth blearily stumbled to his feet before glancing wide-eyed at his surroundings.
“Holy cow, you’re right! I didn’t even notice. But, man, Pride, I’m so tired… I…” Sloth stumbled a bit further before faceplanting directly into a bed of flowers.
“Dammit, Sloth. This is ridiculous, even for your standards.” Pride leaned down to pick Sloth back up, but something strange was afoot. As soon as he leaned down, an overwhelming surge of exhaustion passed through him as well, and he collapsed on top of his companion.
“Hwa— what!? Oh. A rifter.” Pride composed himself as he stared down at the man who awoke him. About five foot six, with short white hair and red eyes.
“Uh, I’m not a rifter or whatever you just called me. I’m Clear, prince of Sloth. And you?” Clear tilted his head.
“Prince… of me? Ehehe, there’s no prince of me…” Sloth murmured in his sleep.
“Typical rifter, spewing nonsense. Come on, you lazy bum. We’re gonna hide before this gets violent.” Pride turned to drag Sloth away but found his legs unwilling to move.
“Hey, man. C’mon now. You haven’t noticed you’re in a dream yet?” Clear said, his hand extended. “Let’s just talk, alright?”
Pride struggled for a few more moments, then back at Clear. “Alright, alright, never seen a rifter do that before. Calm down, yeah? I’ll chat until this rift collapses.”
“So please, introduce yourself properly this time,” Clear responded, freeing Pride with a flick of his hand.
“Right. I’m Pride, that’s Sloth.” Pride pointed at himself, then at his companion. “Can we go?” “No. Please explain what you are doing here and those wings on your back.” Clear yawned. “Also, don’t use our nation’s name as a moniker. It’s probably disrespectful… or something. Eh, we don’t actually care that much.”
“Huh? We’re here because your stupid rift pulled us in,” Pride hissed. “And these wings? We were born with ’em. No story here. Also, pretty sure we were the ones who had those names first.”
“Eh, the kingdom of Pride wouldn’t be very happy to hear about that,” Clear responded. “But whatever, man. Things have been rather chill ever since a random blob named Sparky fell on top of the Demon King and ate him or whatever. So enjoy the nap, I guess. Mind if I join in?”
Pride rolled his eyes before scooting over to allow Clear access to the flowers. Before long, Sloth and Clear were snuggled up together, much to the chagrin of Pride.
“What the hell am I supposed to do now?”
“Please don’t ship characters across two different SerSuns,” Lothli replied with a shake of her head. “Also what was that about Sparky eating the Demon King—”
“OKAYNEXTSCENE!!”
There was a rather strange rash of oddly dressed folk in Lugavya lately. Or rather, just odd folk in general.
Rumors flew of a human with bird wings who passed over the town, carried through hurried whispers between the residents. A strange man with fierce red eyes insisting on making ‘deals,’ much to the annoyance of passersby trying to get through their day.
Lena and Veska had met to investigate, unable to keep themselves still while such strange events abounded. No sooner had the two exchanged greetings did two strange men approach, flagrantly discarding any sensibilities on their right to free speech.
“Hello!” the younger one called out before getting his head gently bonked by the older.
“W-what was it? Oh! The greeting we use should have been ‘well met,’ right?” the teenage boy puzzled himself, rubbing his head.
“No. Firstly, as foreign visitors, we do not use that greeting. Secondly, we do not greet them. They greet us,” the older whispered, turning his eyes to Lena and Veska. It seemed at least one of them remembered their manners.
“Peace, strangers. We will not begrudge you for your transgressions. Tell me, what business have you with us?” Lena began.
“We are looking for directions. We have lost our way. Please, would you tell us our current location? Latitude and longitude are preferred, but any notable landmarks will do.” The older man bowed slightly, with the younger following shortly after.
Latitude? Longitude? These words were unfamiliar to Lena and Veska.
“This is Lugavya. Home to Alvedos, the World Tree?” Veska explained, an eyebrow raised. Were these folks raised under a rock or something?
The two men conversed among themselves, their frowns deepening.
“Apologies, but I am unaware of Lugavya. Could you perhaps point us in the direction of the United States?” the older asked, tilting his head slightly.
“Oh, and if you know of any demons, could you put in a word for me? I can’t figure out the ritual to get home without one of them…” the younger added.
The United States? Demons? More unfamiliar terms. Lena and Veska knew these newcomers were oddballs, but this was a bit much.
“I’m sorry—really! But we simply don’t have the knowledge to help the two of you. Perhaps you could head to the Foresters? I’ll give you their location.” Lena rattled off directions to the nearby Foresters’ hall.
“Thank you very much.” The older man stalked off after a stiff bow, and the younger man quickly followed.
“Sticks and stones, what is the world coming to?”
“This is left as an exercise to the reader,” Maishul tittered into the camera before returning to the glorious mess in her cauldron.
“Next scene!”
There wasn’t much that could faze a Huntress.
It was often said that their wills were unshakable. Nothing could cause them to stop them from single-mindedly accomplishing their goal. And yet, Olivia stood dead in her tracks, staring at the abomination across the Dam square.
“I AM OLIVIA. DARK HUNTRESS. SMASHER OF SQUEAKERS. AND THE ONE WITH NO CHILL,” the awful creature that vaguely resembled Olivia boomed.
“That young lass a friend of yours?” Barlow remarked, barely holding back a chuckle.
“Nope.” Olivia chucked one of her daggers at the offending sight, but she deflected the blade with a ripple of its musculature.
“You are weak. You have no strength. Witness me, false Olivia.” The muscle monster took up a ridiculous pose, her muscles overtly flexing.
“I will destroy you. And after that, I will destroy your creator. And I’ll salt your entire bloodline, while I’m at it,” Olivia snarled.
“I would like to see you try, false Olivia. Last time, I was overcome by the power of the Deus Ex Machina. But this time, I will not be struck down.” The monster took a step forward, the cobblestones cracking under her feet.
Olivia flinched. A Huntress does not feel fear. A Huntress does not back down. Yet… in the face of this horrible being… Her mind recalled the near-death experience she had with the Beast. Did she really want to face that again?
She shook her head, clearing it. No. She would finish this. Olivia raced at the mocking facsimile of herself, her onyx daggers at the ready. As she drew closer, she summoned every ounce of strength and struck.
As Olivia flew through the air, the world seemed to slow down.
Ah… this feels… familiar…
“‘Admittedly, Huntress, you are quite the entertainer—”
“But you used it, Lothli. That’s hypocritical!” Maishul harrumphed.
“Yes, because it was the first time we used it. You can’t just reuse jokes like that!” Lothli glared. “And don’t think I forgot about that comment Clear made about Sparky. What. Exactly. Did you do?”
“Uhm, uhh…” Maishul stuttered. “W-Well, I maybe kinda spilled some my Story-Breaking-Plot-Devices into the cauldron on accident…”
“Your WHATS?!” Lothli stared at her twin in disbelief.
“Uhh, it wasn’t a big deal or anything. Just, uh... Scarlet, the Demon King, Sparky, Wan, Pre-Geas Dread Lord Ardus, the plague from
Lothli shook her head with a sigh. “I’m pretty sure you caused mass human extinction at least three times over.”
“Well! No time to worry about it! Next scene!”
Bea and Ophelia stared at the booklet that had just materialized before them. “Maishul’s Simple Guide to Stealing and Utilizing the Entirety of the United States’ Arsenal of Nuclear Weaponry: For Dummies!” The booklet was decorated with garish stickers of rainbows and glitter, along with cartoonish mushroom clouds.
With a glance at Ophelia, Bea picked up the book. Immediately, her mind was flooded with images and knowledge. Where exactly every nuclear silo in the United States was located. The launch codes and how to bypass the two-key rule. The birth and loving families of each and every nuclear warhead…?
“Bea? Dear? Are you alright?” Ophelia shook Bea gently, concerned. Bea wordlessly handed over the booklet and watched the same information flow through her. The two shared a meaningful glance before turning the manual over. A bright red button sat there, glowing ominously amongst the childish stickers and drawings of shocked faces.
“This is absolutely too dangerous to be left just lying around,” Bea murmured, staring at the booklet intently. Maybe it was a prank some lesser fae put together to induce some concerning but ultimately harmless illusions. But deep down, the two knew this was far more sinister than a simple prank. Plus, there was no fae named “Maishul” that either of them knew of.
“I’m going to have to seal this thing away with the strongest magic I have,” Ophelia declared. With a wave of her hand, ethereal chains weaved around the book. Magical seals whirled through the air, all concentrated on the offending manual. The horrors of nuclear annihilation have been contained with a final clap of her hands.
For around five seconds. Immediately after the ritual was complete, as if to spite Ophelia’s work, a glowing sword descended from the heavens, slicing through the glowing chains and seals like butter. The two barely managed to glimpse the name written on the side: “The Deus Ex Machina,” before the blade landed squarely on the big red button with a satisfying click!
“Shit.”
“It’ll be fine! I’m not breaking any of the rules on shortstories, which means I totally can’t be banned!” Maishul quipped cheerily.
“That is 100% not how it works.” Lothli crossed her arms. “Don’t drag me down with you.”
“I dunno! You’ll bail me out, right?” Maishul shrugged before returning to her appalling project. “Next scene!”
These were the end times. The world felt… sideways. The government was in shambles. A plague that turned people into fine, yellow dust had apparently appeared, sweeping the continent from east to west. Yet, there was nothing I could do. Right in front of me, I had my own foes to contend with on the roof of Holos Lucidium.
On my right was a shapeless mass, writhing and transforming, throwing vicious barbs my way. It never introduced itself, but I knew its name from within myself: the Beast.
On my left was a much more innocent figure, at least on the surface. He had slicked-back black hair, brown eyes simmering with self-assured pride, and an easy smirk. And to cap it off, he introduced himself promptly and with great gusto; he was Dread Lord Ardus.
I could attempt to flee, but what purpose would that serve? Even if I got away, which my gut told me was highly unlikely, I would be abandoning my guild to die to these two monsters. So no. I stood my ground here.
“Sanguia. Member of Holos Lucidium.” I balanced my stance between my two flanks, watching both. With a smirk from Ardus and a ripple from the Beast, the fight began.
I quickly discarded the idea of even fighting the rippling mass on my right. It had no blood I could control, and impacting it with my blade would make me stuck. But the Dread Lord was no slouch, either.
As I rushed at Ardus, a tingle in my spine screamed at me to duck. I tucked into a combat roll as a great blast of flame roared right where I used to be.
“Fiesty, aren’t you? Well, that’s what makes it fun,” the Dread Lord growled, licking his lips.
I had no time to respond as a raging, shimmering bull attempted to ram its gleaming horns directly through me. I sprung off the ground, landing just behind the writhing bull. There was no time to go on the offensive; it took all I could to stay alive.
“Stop struggling, Interloper,” the Beast snarled. “I have plans I have to attend to. Plans that do not involve you.”
I kept the undulating mass between myself and my second opponent. My only hope was to promote crossfire. The dagger I held in my right hand felt woefully inadequate for this task.
“You heard the fella. I’ll end this, here and now.” Ardus thrust his hand straight up into the air as if grasping something far above him.
“Dread Lord. May I take this as a sign of betrayal?” The Beast rumbled, a dangerous edge to its voice.
“Nah, I never said I was working with you. You’re too… icky for my tastes.” The Dread Lord tapped his chin thoughtfully. “It’s a good thing you’ll be obliterated in an instant. Ta ta!”
I looked up with a heavy heart, knowing how outclassed I was. There was barely time to say goodbye before a massive ball of light enveloped me in its all-consuming shine. The last thing I managed to think was:
That was an utterly unfair fight.
“Hey, it’s not so bad! Scarlet is still alive, right?” Maishul dug around in the cauldron before pulling out yet another distended scene. “Look! Here she is!”
“What… is that?” Lothli looked at the scene with equal parts awe and disgust.
“Oh! Well, I really liked Fye’s SerSun, so I made my own! Isn’t it great?”
“Maishul, I think you missed the entire point of his SerSun. Where’s the inter-character drama? Where’s the mystery? Where’s the actual HISTORY?” Lothli poked the off-kilter scene with distaste. “This version of the story is just <Murder.>.”
“Well too bad, dear ‘ol sis! Here! We! Go!”
Hi, I’m Benedict Lushon, Ben for short. Somehow, I think I just unlocked the secret to teleportation. I stand in the middle of the mansion’s dining room, feeling my stomach turn violently. One moment, I was chained in front of a cackling Kyle, and the next thing I know, we’re back in this blasted room. I crane my head, checking who else is here.
Teddy, check. His monocle and top hat are still crooked as he looks around the room, just as confused as I.
Cornell, check. Unfortunately, he still seems to be out cold.
Kyle, check. Wait—
I stride up to Kyle and grab onto his lapels. “What exactly have you done?” I say, shaking him back and forth.
Unfortunately, he seems even more confused by the current events than I am, judging by the bulging eyes and frothing at the mouth.
“W-What exactly happened here!? We were just— and then—” my former coworker manages to sputter out before a booming feminine voice rings out from the walls.
“Heya! What’s up,
“Who are you?! What have you done?!” Kyle screams, his voice cracking. “I have waited YEARS to take my revenge on these fools, and you—”
“Oh. You.” The voice seems displeased at the interruption. “Sorry, I didn’t think your Tuffy plotline was interesting, so I retconned it!”
Now, that was the mark of a bad writer. As a future multi-bestselling author, I know that one of the most sinful things a writer can do is randomly retcon the story. I’m confident this random influencer girl will never go anywhere in her writing career.
“YOU! We were known as the Tufforo family, and we—” Kyle rages before being cut off by the voice again.
“Sorry, don’t care.” A piece of duct tape manifests itself directly onto Kyle’s mouth. I would find it funny if it didn’t demonstrate how supernatural this influencer’s power seems.
“Anyways! Here’s the rules. I’m not really good at that being cryptic thing, so it’ll be easy!” the voice announces with glee. “Here’s my super special sparkly OC, do not steal, known as Scarlet, Scourge of the Americas. She’ll try and chase you down! She wins when you’re all dead. You all win when, I don’t know, she dies of old age or something. You can try to kill her; it won’t work!”
‘Super special sparkly OC, do not steal?’ So, what, did I find myself in some hellish parody of Earth? That must be it. This must all be a very terrible dream. I sincerely hope that none of my readers would ever consider making fanfiction like this of my stories.
“By jove, those rules seem downright unfair!” Teddy finally seems to have found his voice. “Please, good madam, could you let us go? We have already suffered at the hands of that accursed man—”
“Lalala, can’t hear you!” the girl’s voice sang out. “Here she comes! Give it up for… Scarlet!”
A hidden panel drops a… rather regular-looking young woman onto the floor. Why, if I were in charge, I would have ensured that my villain would have a spectacular appearance. Someone as fascinating and spellbinding as Jack the Ripper—
Scarlet dashes at Kyle and [REDACTED]
… … Technical Difficulties
“Well, Scarlet’s kinda messy, so I tried to cover it up,” Maishul pouted. “Also, I was just trying to liven up the scene a bit! Kyle’s so BORING. He speaks in RIDDLES and they make my brain HURT.”
“That’s because you don’t have a single brain cell in that head of yours,” Lothli huffed. “Don’t make such sweeping changes to people’s stories!”
“Well… dear sis, could I trouble you for a favor, since I’m so head empty ‘n all?” Maishul smiled her widest, most brilliant smile.
“What.” The other twin glared back, unimpressed.
“Well, if you don’t want the two of us to get banned, can you help me separate these stories back out? Please?” With a fluttering of her eyelashes and a winsome wink, this would undoubtedly win her sister to her side—
“Deal with it yourself. I’m going to hand out apologies.” Lothli had no sympathy for her twin’s plight.
“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!” Maishul cried. For now, she was burdened with her least favorite task; actual work.
And thus, this tale comes to a close. Nevertheless, its name will ring true throughout the land as the legendary fable known only as “In the Shadow of Machines, Scarlet, and the In Between Geas and the Beginning of the Demon Murder History: Dissonance, also How Did We Get Here?”
Thank you very much for your time. And apologies for my sister.
Lothli, signing off.
Special thanks to u/OldBayJ, which this fantastic feature would be impossible without.
2023.04.01 06:04 el_dumass PART 3, THIRD COLONY ROUND 1: Mana Woods vs Badar
 | 10:00 AM, 20-3-2019, Chichén Itzá, Yucatan, Mexico submitted by el_dumass to TheCullingGames [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/9weinhjc4zqa1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=bd606bde18950cd6604c489d5350aa24ff95f69b LET THE JUJUTSU KAISEN BEGIN!!! Mana Woods (by u/Capenguin13) [Appearance & Personality] Mana is a 33 year old male, 5’6’’, and 120lbs. He has light blue hair, heterochromatic eyes with one blue and one turquoise, and tanned skin. He wears a blue Hawaiian t-shirt, turquoise swim trunks, and blue sandals. He also carries a small dark blue duffel bag full of stuffed animals. [Physical Attributes] High intelligence (ability to find ways to counter cursed techniques with their own), High adaptability (ability to adjust to the environment quickly and use it to their advantage) [Cursed Attributes] Ability to use reverse cursed techniques, Has a shikigami at their disposal. Mana can use reversed cursed technique to heal himself and others including his shikigami. Mana can summon five different marine animal shikigami from the different stuffed animals that he keeps in his duffel bag (penguin, orca, and octopus) and the pockets of his swim trunks (box jellyfish, mantis shrimp). [Cursed Technique & Applications] Mana’s cursed technique is named Marine Stuffed Animals. The technique allows him to summon five marine animal shikigami that take after the stuffed animals serving as intermediaries that he has handcrafted and carries. By shouting out his name for one of the stuffed animals, the corresponding shikigami manifests from its stuffed animal. The summoned marine animal shikigami can function in the air as if it were sea water, but substances denser than water can slow them down. The five applications of Marine Stuffed Animals consist of the five different marine animal shikigami that can be summoned. Theoretically, Mana could summon as many different marine animals as he can make and carry stuffed animals for them to be summoned with, but for the sake of this tournament he is only using five, and I describe only a single special ability that each animal can use.
The name of Mana’s domain expansion is Fabric Crafted Aquarium, and the hand sign to activate it is making a box with his hands. Within Mana’s duffel bag, he also carries a fabric replica of a fish aquarium that he has made. Upon launching his domain expansion, Mana traps his opponent in an expanded version of this replica which submerges both himself and his opponent into the marine environment. Mana is an experienced swimmer and has trained himself to be able to hold his breath for up to ten minutes, so the environment is inherently advantageous to him. Moreover, within his domain Mana can freely manifest shikigami of any marine animal he wishes. [Extra Information] Mana has a background in working as a marine biologist and veterinarian and has a hobby of crafting stuffed animals. His standard fighting style consists of projecting the octopus and orca as his main weapons in order to trick enemies into entering close quarters or enclosed spaces where the box jellyfish and mantis shrimp can launch surprise attacks with their potentially one-shot kill abilities. Nevertheless, he is able to adjust his fighting style for the opponent and situation, and his high mobility thanks to the penguin steed and ability to heal himself gives him ample time to slip out of an opponent’s grasp until he can formulate an effective counter strategy. VSBadar (by u/Jujutsu_Sorcery)[Appearance & Personality] Age: 28 Gender: Male Height: 5ft 4in Weight: 140lb Hair Color: White Eye Color: Black Background: One of the reincarnated sorcerers from the past during the golden age of jujutsu sorcery. [Physical Attributes] High agility/elusiveness (dodging and reaction timing), High adaptability (ability to adjust to the environment quickly and use it to their advantage). [Cursed Attributes] Has a shikigami at their disposal. Immense cursed energy supply. Name: Nebula Squid Visual: A giant squid that looks like cosmic dust. (Look up the giant squid nebula for reference.) Description: This shikigami ignores the gravity and flies through the air. It uses it tentacles to fight opponents while they are currently stuck or struggling with the changes in gravity. [Cursed Technique & Applications] Gravity Manipulation: Allows the user to increase or decrease the gravity within a 100m radius around them. · Saturn: The user creates a ring of immense gravity around them. Things that enter this ring will be sent flying to the ground, including people and projectiles. · Meteorite: The user removes the effects of gravity from and object and throws it at the target allowing it to reach high speeds. · Space Walk: The user removes the effects of gravity from around them, granting them higher speed and mobility. Badar can gradually increase the gravity on themselves to safely bring themselves back to the ground. · Jupiter: The user heavily increases the gravitational forces in a area, causing anything under the gravity to collapse. · Moon: The user heavily decreases the gravitational forces in a area, causing anything in the area to float. [Domain Expansion] Name: Gravity of the Collapsing Universe Visual: While the domain is open, the user can be seen in the middle of the domain sitting atop what looks like a black hole. Description: The user has a special domain that sacrifices a barrier for an increase in range. The domain does not guarantee a hit but allows the user to change the direction of gravitational forces. For example, the user can create immense gravitational forces going sideways sending anything its hitting it that direction. This domain also requires the user to stay in the center of the domain. The domain has a maximum range of 200 meters, which the user can sit at the middle of their domain and effect the gravitational forces all the way at the edge of the domain. [Extra Information] The user prefers not to fight head to head in close combat. Instead using their technique, projectiles, and shikigami to defeat their opponent.

2023.04.01 06:02 ICIA56 ASUS RT-AC59U v2 (main router) + Tenda MW12 (bridge mode) connection drops, resetting backhaul?
I initially have the setup below in my house:
Modem > Tenda Mesh Main Node > LAN Switch > 4 other nodes (wired backhaul)
While it works fine with no issues, I need to set a few static IPs for some of my devices which the Tenda mesh does not provide. I then purchased the ASUS RT-AC59U v2 as a “main router”, then have the mesh in bridge mode/APs. Setup goes like this:
Modem > ASUS RT-AC59U (router mode) > LAN Switch > 5 Tenda Mesh nodes (wired, bridge mode)
Before I even set anything in the ASUS router, I’m getting constant connection drops (every 15-20 minutes) in my mesh APs, despite having everything wired. Because of this, it caused the mesh to “reset” to its wireless backhaul, and causes the whole system to go haywire until it goes back to wired backhaul in a few minutes. Last night after a few connection drops, it won’t even go back to the wired backhaul anymore and stays with the wireless backhaul. This doesn’t work at my house as it’s a long rectangular 3000sqft condo with thick brick walls.
When this happens, I removed the ASUS router and have the Tenda mesh back in router mode, and all is fine again.
What could possible the issue to all this? Is it the ASUS router, is it the Tenda mesh not playing nice with others or something? Anything I could do to test/find out the issue?
I know there are better brands for mesh, but before replacing it, I just want to make sure it’s actually the problem because these things aren’t cheap in my country. I’m also aware that this sub generally recommend having proper APs instead of mesh but in my personal experience using 2-3 old routers, the “handover” doesn’t work as well in the house. When moving across the house, the signal is weak enough that it slows down the internet connection, but not enough for it to actually do the handover to the stronger signal.
I don’t know, maybe I’m not using the right AP devices. Open to suggestions

2023.04.01 06:01 sweetdude64 Bloons TD 6 - Update Notes! Version 36.0
 | Bloons TD 6 v36.0 - Update Patch Notes! submitted by sweetdude64 to btd6 [link] [comments] COMING SOON - Update 36! Hello, and Welcome to the 36.0 Balance Changes! The latest update is right around the corner, so we wanted to hear the communities feedback!! Let us know how you feel about each of these changes in the comments, and we will be sure to take them into consideration. Thank you for supporting us after all these years!! BIG CHANGES/UPDATESBEAST HANDLER: Whereas we recently released a video and upcoming version preview to the Reddit, we feel it necessary to double back on this due to us feeling that the Beast Handler is still too complicated, so we are reworking it, again, meaning it will be delayed another 2+ updates. Sorry!However, to ensure this does not happen again, we will be removing tower upgrades entirely from this new tower to ensure the Beast Handler is not too complicated going forwards. We hope to see you play around with this new tower in a few months!!! FIXES
HEROESPat was always intended to be the chunkiest monkey, and his rallying roar is still a little too strong, even after the previous nerf. So we are doubling down on our previous patch of Pat:
PARAGONSWe have noticed many complaining that certain paragons are weaker than their counterpart 3 5th tier towers because the paragons cannot be buffed while the towers can. In order to counter this, we are increasing the Paragon Level cap 100 -> 500.However to keep gameplay balanced, the only way to achieve these 400 bonus levels on each paragon is to use Geraldo's Totems. -We recognize totem spam will likely be annoying for many players, so we are increasing the total power each paragon totem gives from 300 -> 350. BLOONS CHANGESLEAD BLOONSBloons was always intended to portray real life physics. Due to this, we are changing lead bloons to only be popped from melting.
Whereas purples are an interesting bloon that prevents the abuse of certain gameplay styles, the long gaps in between rounds in addition to purple bloons only capable of being spawned naturally like leads make it too easy to get around the weakness these bloons are supposed to provide.
Due to the power ceiling being increased over time from constant power buffs, ceramics are no longer a threat late game when compared to MOAB Class bloons. Especially with recent buffs to super mines and bloon solver. This goes against the intended game design, so we are hoping these changes will fix that:
EVENTS
TOWERSFor a long time, we have wanted crit shots to be a bigger part of the game, as you can probably tell by the addition of crit shots on certain towers more recently. We feel ready to make a big jump by giving every tower an 8% chance to crit for 5x damage on the crit attack.All around, towers have been feeling a bit strong, so to counteract this new CRIT Change, every tower has had its attack speed reduced. We have extensively play-tested this new change and feel confident it will breed new life to the game! In addition, to clear up any confusion, the word CRIT that pops up will now fully spell out "CRITICAL SHOT!"
BALANCE CHANGESDART MONKEYDart monkeys have always been a strong addition to the game. In fact, they are 2-3 times stronger than the dart monkeys from btd 1-5. To level out the insane power increase, we are nerfing the base dart monkey. 000 dart monkey price increase 200 -> 450 Whereas we are pleased with the direction paragons are moving in, we feel as if the Dart paragon does not accurately resemble the 3 upgrade paths as well as it should. So we are changing the Ultra Juggernauts damage type so that it may no longer pop purple bloons. We pride ourselves on community feedback, and we have heard how much fun it is to bounce Juggernaut balls off of walls. We are keeping with that influence of game design to make fans happy.
In an effort to reduce late game lag, we are reducing the amount of total projectiles in-game. However, we do not want to disrupt the balance of towers, so we are evening out the damage.
The top path has been getting a lot of love, however the bottom path feels more neglected due to the buffs of the now-superior top path. Hopefully this rework can change things up.
Due to the imbalanced nature of the bomb at release, we quickly needed to adjust gameplay to suit every tower. Now that the gameplay is stable, we will be reverting many of these changes. While also buffing up the rest of the tower in the process.
We were hoping to keep it a surprise, but we are revealing this early: Special Agents are being brought to the game! In an effort to make more synergy between towers and special agents, the glue gunner is being renamed to the Honey Gunner to create crossplay between this tower and the Beekeeper. Despite the past 8 buffs making the bloon solver one of the strongest towers in the game early on, it falls off in late game play. We feel it could be stronger, so we are buffing its viability all round.
The sniper has always been a good contender for strongest tower in the game, and we have noticed a spike in usage recently. However, it still feels weak compared to the direction we are headed in.
Similar to other towers, Shell Shock Mortars will now shoot explosive turtle shells instead of Mortar rounds to emphasize the synergy between this tower and the new Special Agent Tribal Turtle. Due to popular demand, we are adding a pursuit option to the Mortar. However to balance this, we are decreasing its accuracy.
To switch up gameplay, we are changing around top path upgrades.
The middle crosspath is the obvious choice over the bottom crosspath in almost all scenarios. In an effort to make each crosspath unique and significant, we are changing things up!
In order to reduce projectiles late game, we are reworking the Monkey Ace to properly represent how we believe this tower should function in order to minimize lag and maximize fun. The Monkey Ace will now shoot darts out of the front of the Ace, similar to the BTD 5 Specialty Building Bonus:
The Comanche Commander was beloved at the start of the game, however has long since fallen off. So, we are reverting the nerf allowing it to easily solo round 98 once again.
Like the tack shooter, the Super Monkey is being reworked to reduce projectiles late game for stability reasons:
Additionally, in an effort to reduce the over powered nature of Super monkeys, we are reducing their overall damage to encourage a more well rounded gameplay style which favors a variety of towers:
We greatly enjoy one of our recent change to alchemists, however we feel like we did not go far enough with it to make it viable. Hopefully now it can be used more effectively:
Some upgrades feel a little bit too over and under powered for cross paths to be viable. Hopefully these changes will create more balanced play.
Wizards are purely magic based towers. So it didn't make sense to give them upgrades that granted them purple popping power. Fortunately, the wizard has been buffed up enough that this nerf will still keep it playable without being overpowered:
Due to primary towers overshining the village in pretty much all aspects, we are reworking the top path:
In an effort to minimize the effect of *certain youtubers* to make *specific jokes* about cleansing foam, we are changing the color. In addition, we are changing the later upgrades out of spite:
To make gameplay more immersive, bananas no longer attract to the cursor, and must be clicked or tapped to pick up.
Due to constant misunderstandings, we are switching the tack shooter to support class and spike factory to primary class. And again to limit projectiles, we are fixing this tower as well:
ADDITIONAL CHANGES
We have WHOPPING plans for where to take Bloons TD 6 and we hope you all will keep playing and have fun helping us get there. Let’s all plan on having a very happy rest of 2023 together as we look for more ways to involve the community in our vision and plans for where we go next, and until then please know that everyone at Ninja Kiwi wishes you the absolute best for a restful and playful April Fools Day! ADDITIONAL CHANGES: Update 37+ has been scrapped. Happy Popping!! |
2023.04.01 06:01 Necessary_Policy_498 Does getting a community strike cause you to lose views?
I have a tik tok page that used to pull 1000-10k views, and even 50k views, just about every post. I posted about every day for a month. It was to the point where if I got a tik tok with 400 views I would almost be surprised. I have 1200 followers. One video got a community strike. Ever since then, still posting every day. I’ve gotten about 300-400 views on every tik tok for about a month now, except for 3. One got 1100 views, one got 1068 views, and another got 1600. I went from being disappointed to getting 1000 views to hoping I could maybe get 500. I’ve thought about deleting the page completely and starting over because it’s been going on for so long. Am I shadowbanned or what advice do you guys have if you’ve maybe gone through the same ordeal?

2023.04.01 06:00 Sunnivaz9314 ✡通灵记录 ✡ 中国12生肖之龙🐉，一种真正存在地球上的的外星生物🌌。 🐉The Dragon🐉, one of the 12 Chinese zodiacs, is a real extraterrestrial creature existing on Earth🌌.
https://preview.redd.it/bk39ao8057ra1.jpg?width=1016&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7f867f20cdcdf8dadbc7066cd2006c5f2f18bac
在我过往的帖子提到，我后天感知能力被加强后，就开始逐渐接触到外星人了。但是除了外星人之外，有一种高维的生物也是我经常见到的。就是中国神话故事中经常出现的龙，12生肖之一。 I have mentioned in my previous posts that after my psychic ability was strengthened, I gradually started to come into contact with aliens. Besides aliens, I often encounter another high-dimensional creature: the Dragon, one of the 12 Chinese zodiacs. I believe it is not only an extraterrestrial being but also a real being that exists on Earth.
我所见到龙的外观和中国历史中描述的可为一模一样。在2022年初，我去北京的中国国家博物馆，我当时去了B1层的古代馆。其展厅陈列以王朝更替的文物为主线来展现各个朝代的发展特点。古代馆涵盖了从远古约200万年前到明清时期公元1368年-1911年的历史时期。而对龙的记载可以追溯到旧石器时代。除了文字、图腾、雕塑、彩绘、画像，龙的形象一直延续至今，成为了民间习俗。
The dragon I have seen is identical to the one described in Chinese history. In early 2022, I visited the Ancient Gallery at the National Museum of China in Beijing. The exhibition hall mainly presents the development features of each dynasty based on the artifacts of dynasties. The Ancient Gallery covers the historical period from the Paleolithic period around 2 million years ago to the Ming and Qing Dynasties from 1368 AD to 1911 AD. The records of the dragon can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. In addition to words, totems, sculptures, paintings, and portraits, the image of the dragon has been passed down to this day and has become a widespread custom.
虽然现代人普遍认为龙是古人丰富想象力创造出来的生物，但是在博物馆中展示的龙的形象记录与我所接触到的实物非常相似。因此，在我看来，这些形象记录并不是古人的想象，而是根据实物进行的写生。
Although modern people generally believe that dragons are creatures of ancient people's rich imaginations, the image records of dragons displayed in the museum are very similar to the real objects I have encountered. Therefore, in my view, these image records are not the imaginations of the ancients, but sketches based on the actual objects.
中国的文字起源于象形文字，而象形文字是指利用图形来表达事物的文字。如果龙只是虚构的生物，那么就不可能存在与其相应的文字形象。因此，由此也可以推断出，龙的形象记录并非纯粹的想象，而是与实物有着紧密的关联。
Chinese characters originated from pictographs, which are symbols used to express things. Since dragons are fictional creatures, there cannot be a corresponding pictograph for them. Therefore, it can be inferred that the image of dragons is not merely imagined, but is closely connected with reality.
据文献记载，龙的形态为“角似鹿、头似驼、眼似兔、项似蛇、腹似蜃、鳞似鱼、爪似鹰、掌似虎、耳似牛”。龙被视为吉祥、正义、兴旺和力量的象征，尤其是对水、降雨、台风和洪水的控制。龙大部分潜藏于海洋和大型湖泊、河流之中。它们可以在水中游动、攫食、射杀和攻击，这些特性也被记录下来，成为龙的象征。
Historical records show that dragons have antlers like deer, heads like camels, eyes like a rabbit, necks like a snake, bellies like a clam, scales like fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like a cow. They are associated with auspiciousness, justice, prosperity, and strength, especially in terms of controlling water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. Dragons usually remain hidden in oceans and large lakes and rivers and can swim, seize food, shoot, and attack in the water. These characteristics have been documented and have become symbols of dragons.
在中国民间，四海龙王是备受尊敬的神灵，包括东海龙王、南海龙王、西海龙王和北海龙王等。其形象与人间所记录的相似，均为龙头人身，身穿华丽的汉服。唯独南海龙王只有一个螺旋状的独角，而且南海龙王那一脉的龙都是白色基底的。而西海龙王那一脉都有双翼。
In Chinese folklore, the Four Dragon Kings are greatly revered, including the Dong Hai（East Sea） Dragon King, Nan Hai （South Sea）Dragon King, Xi Hai （West Sea）Dragon King, and Bei Hai（North Sea） Dragon King. Their images are like those recorded on earth, with dragon heads and human bodies wearing splendid Hanfu. The Nan Hai Dragon King alone has a spiral single horn, and the dragons in its lineage are all white-based. In addition, the dragons of the Xi Hai Dragon King's lineage all have double wings.
龙王是管理海洋及人间气候、风雨的龙神。我们现在所处的世界中的降水归东海龙王管辖。东海龙王曾告诉我，如果某个地方的人们在海洋中杀戮过度，那么该地区就会遭遇干旱。而恶念弥漫的地方也会经历更多的天灾。因此，我认为天灾实际上都是由人祸所致。
Dragon Kings are dragon gods in charge of the ocean and the climate of the human world. The Dong Hai Dragon King is responsible for the precipitation in the world we live in. The Dong Hai Dragon King once told me that if people in a certain place over-slaughter in the ocean, that area will suffer drought. Areas filled with evil thoughts will also experience more disasters. Thus, I believe that natural disasters are caused by human misdeeds.
在中国文化中，龙代表吉祥如意、和谐长久，以及风调雨顺。我所见到的龙形态与中国文献中的描述一样，无论东西方。过去两年，我见过的不下50种龙，它们身上都有不同的纹路图案和颜色，非常漂亮，比历史记录中的更为丰富多彩，姿态优美。
In Chinese culture, dragons symbolize auspiciousness, harmony, and peace. The dragon forms I have seen are similar to those described in Chinese literature, both in the East and West. In the past two years, I have seen over 50 kinds of dragons, each with different patterns and colours, very beautiful, more vibrant than those in historical records, and elegant in posture. These special images have been documented and have become symbols of dragons in different cultures.
在人杰地灵的地方，龙的色泽特别好看。有趣的是，负责降温的龙都是蓝白色的纹理和图案，而负责降雪的龙则呈现出透明的冰雕般的状态。在民风较为恶劣的和业障重的地方，当地的龙看起来会有点营养不良的感觉。
In places with remarkable people and spirits, the hue of dragons is particularly beautiful. Interestingly, the dragons responsible for cooling have blue and white textures and patterns, while those responsible for snowfall have a transparent ice-like state. In places with poor customs and heavy karma, the local dragons appear somewhat malnourished.
龙族表示，如果某个地方出现洪水暴雨，那并非是它们所控制的。直到去年我在中国一些持续强降雨的地方，才看到的龙形态不同，丑陋，几乎都是黑色。
Dragon clan said that if there is flood and heavy rain in a certain place, it is not under their control. Until last year, I saw different dragon forms in some places with continuous heavy rainfall in China, which were ugly and almost all black.
龙的出现是因为当地人们正念大，而正念大的地方就会有瑞祥之物，龙的出现。所以说啊，国泰民安不是神决定的，而是人心。自2022年以来，东海龙王的龙族从世界各地逐渐撤离。这表明控制天气的高维生物的减少似乎暗示着极端气候在不久的将来日子会变得更加常见。当我2022年8月回到多伦多时，发现五大湖区域原本五条东海龙王旗下的龙变成了一条白色独角龙，这又是代表着什么呢？
The appearance of dragons is due to the positive thinking of the local people, and positive thoughts will bring auspicious things, such as dragons. So, national peace and prosperity are not decided by gods, but by people's minds. Since 2022, the Dragon Clan of the Dong Hai Dragon King has gradually departed from all over the world. This shows that the decrease in high-dimensional creatures controlling the weather seems to imply that extreme weather will become more common shortly. When I returned to Toronto in August 2022, I noticed that the five dragons from the Dong Hai Dragon King in the Great Lakes area had become a white single-horned dragons, what does this signify?
龙是位于三四维的生物，龙族自称在宇宙中的星体中起到一个“平衡”的作用，能够控制天气，调节震动频率，让大部分人都可以见到，而一些龙甚至可以幻变成梅花鹿和鳄鱼。他们既能变大，也能变小，能上天升天，也能隐藏自己的形态；大则可以引起九天云雾，小则可以隐藏在海水中，升则可以飞腾至宇宙间，隐则可以潜伏在波涛之中，形态大小不一，我见到的龙从几十厘米到数百米不等。
Dragons are beings that exist in three to four dimensions. The dragon clan claims to play a role in "balancing" celestial bodies in the universe by controlling the weather and adjusting vibration frequencies. They can make themselves visible to most people, and some can even transform into animals such as plum deer and crocodiles. Dragons can change their size and form, both growing larger or smaller, ascending to the heavens or hiding their forms. When they are large, they can create clouds and mist in the sky, while when they are small, they can hide in the sea. Dragons can soar to the universe when they ascend, or lurk in the waves when they hide. Their size and form vary greatly, with some dragons being as small as several tens of centimeters, while others are several hundred meters long.

在我过往的帖子提到，我后天感知能力被加强后，就开始逐渐接触到外星人了。但是除了外星人之外，有一种高维的生物也是我经常见到的。就是中国神话故事中经常出现的龙，12生肖之一。 I have mentioned in my previous posts that after my psychic ability was strengthened, I gradually started to come into contact with aliens. Besides aliens, I often encounter another high-dimensional creature: the Dragon, one of the 12 Chinese zodiacs. I believe it is not only an extraterrestrial being but also a real being that exists on Earth.
我所见到龙的外观和中国历史中描述的可为一模一样。在2022年初，我去北京的中国国家博物馆，我当时去了B1层的古代馆。其展厅陈列以王朝更替的文物为主线来展现各个朝代的发展特点。古代馆涵盖了从远古约200万年前到明清时期公元1368年-1911年的历史时期。而对龙的记载可以追溯到旧石器时代。除了文字、图腾、雕塑、彩绘、画像，龙的形象一直延续至今，成为了民间习俗。
The dragon I have seen is identical to the one described in Chinese history. In early 2022, I visited the Ancient Gallery at the National Museum of China in Beijing. The exhibition hall mainly presents the development features of each dynasty based on the artifacts of dynasties. The Ancient Gallery covers the historical period from the Paleolithic period around 2 million years ago to the Ming and Qing Dynasties from 1368 AD to 1911 AD. The records of the dragon can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. In addition to words, totems, sculptures, paintings, and portraits, the image of the dragon has been passed down to this day and has become a widespread custom.
虽然现代人普遍认为龙是古人丰富想象力创造出来的生物，但是在博物馆中展示的龙的形象记录与我所接触到的实物非常相似。因此，在我看来，这些形象记录并不是古人的想象，而是根据实物进行的写生。
Although modern people generally believe that dragons are creatures of ancient people's rich imaginations, the image records of dragons displayed in the museum are very similar to the real objects I have encountered. Therefore, in my view, these image records are not the imaginations of the ancients, but sketches based on the actual objects.
中国的文字起源于象形文字，而象形文字是指利用图形来表达事物的文字。如果龙只是虚构的生物，那么就不可能存在与其相应的文字形象。因此，由此也可以推断出，龙的形象记录并非纯粹的想象，而是与实物有着紧密的关联。
Chinese characters originated from pictographs, which are symbols used to express things. Since dragons are fictional creatures, there cannot be a corresponding pictograph for them. Therefore, it can be inferred that the image of dragons is not merely imagined, but is closely connected with reality.
据文献记载，龙的形态为“角似鹿、头似驼、眼似兔、项似蛇、腹似蜃、鳞似鱼、爪似鹰、掌似虎、耳似牛”。龙被视为吉祥、正义、兴旺和力量的象征，尤其是对水、降雨、台风和洪水的控制。龙大部分潜藏于海洋和大型湖泊、河流之中。它们可以在水中游动、攫食、射杀和攻击，这些特性也被记录下来，成为龙的象征。
Historical records show that dragons have antlers like deer, heads like camels, eyes like a rabbit, necks like a snake, bellies like a clam, scales like fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like a cow. They are associated with auspiciousness, justice, prosperity, and strength, especially in terms of controlling water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. Dragons usually remain hidden in oceans and large lakes and rivers and can swim, seize food, shoot, and attack in the water. These characteristics have been documented and have become symbols of dragons.
在中国民间，四海龙王是备受尊敬的神灵，包括东海龙王、南海龙王、西海龙王和北海龙王等。其形象与人间所记录的相似，均为龙头人身，身穿华丽的汉服。唯独南海龙王只有一个螺旋状的独角，而且南海龙王那一脉的龙都是白色基底的。而西海龙王那一脉都有双翼。
In Chinese folklore, the Four Dragon Kings are greatly revered, including the Dong Hai（East Sea） Dragon King, Nan Hai （South Sea）Dragon King, Xi Hai （West Sea）Dragon King, and Bei Hai（North Sea） Dragon King. Their images are like those recorded on earth, with dragon heads and human bodies wearing splendid Hanfu. The Nan Hai Dragon King alone has a spiral single horn, and the dragons in its lineage are all white-based. In addition, the dragons of the Xi Hai Dragon King's lineage all have double wings.
龙王是管理海洋及人间气候、风雨的龙神。我们现在所处的世界中的降水归东海龙王管辖。东海龙王曾告诉我，如果某个地方的人们在海洋中杀戮过度，那么该地区就会遭遇干旱。而恶念弥漫的地方也会经历更多的天灾。因此，我认为天灾实际上都是由人祸所致。
Dragon Kings are dragon gods in charge of the ocean and the climate of the human world. The Dong Hai Dragon King is responsible for the precipitation in the world we live in. The Dong Hai Dragon King once told me that if people in a certain place over-slaughter in the ocean, that area will suffer drought. Areas filled with evil thoughts will also experience more disasters. Thus, I believe that natural disasters are caused by human misdeeds.
在中国文化中，龙代表吉祥如意、和谐长久，以及风调雨顺。我所见到的龙形态与中国文献中的描述一样，无论东西方。过去两年，我见过的不下50种龙，它们身上都有不同的纹路图案和颜色，非常漂亮，比历史记录中的更为丰富多彩，姿态优美。
In Chinese culture, dragons symbolize auspiciousness, harmony, and peace. The dragon forms I have seen are similar to those described in Chinese literature, both in the East and West. In the past two years, I have seen over 50 kinds of dragons, each with different patterns and colours, very beautiful, more vibrant than those in historical records, and elegant in posture. These special images have been documented and have become symbols of dragons in different cultures.
在人杰地灵的地方，龙的色泽特别好看。有趣的是，负责降温的龙都是蓝白色的纹理和图案，而负责降雪的龙则呈现出透明的冰雕般的状态。在民风较为恶劣的和业障重的地方，当地的龙看起来会有点营养不良的感觉。
In places with remarkable people and spirits, the hue of dragons is particularly beautiful. Interestingly, the dragons responsible for cooling have blue and white textures and patterns, while those responsible for snowfall have a transparent ice-like state. In places with poor customs and heavy karma, the local dragons appear somewhat malnourished.
龙族表示，如果某个地方出现洪水暴雨，那并非是它们所控制的。直到去年我在中国一些持续强降雨的地方，才看到的龙形态不同，丑陋，几乎都是黑色。
Dragon clan said that if there is flood and heavy rain in a certain place, it is not under their control. Until last year, I saw different dragon forms in some places with continuous heavy rainfall in China, which were ugly and almost all black.
龙的出现是因为当地人们正念大，而正念大的地方就会有瑞祥之物，龙的出现。所以说啊，国泰民安不是神决定的，而是人心。自2022年以来，东海龙王的龙族从世界各地逐渐撤离。这表明控制天气的高维生物的减少似乎暗示着极端气候在不久的将来日子会变得更加常见。当我2022年8月回到多伦多时，发现五大湖区域原本五条东海龙王旗下的龙变成了一条白色独角龙，这又是代表着什么呢？
The appearance of dragons is due to the positive thinking of the local people, and positive thoughts will bring auspicious things, such as dragons. So, national peace and prosperity are not decided by gods, but by people's minds. Since 2022, the Dragon Clan of the Dong Hai Dragon King has gradually departed from all over the world. This shows that the decrease in high-dimensional creatures controlling the weather seems to imply that extreme weather will become more common shortly. When I returned to Toronto in August 2022, I noticed that the five dragons from the Dong Hai Dragon King in the Great Lakes area had become a white single-horned dragons, what does this signify?
龙是位于三四维的生物，龙族自称在宇宙中的星体中起到一个“平衡”的作用，能够控制天气，调节震动频率，让大部分人都可以见到，而一些龙甚至可以幻变成梅花鹿和鳄鱼。他们既能变大，也能变小，能上天升天，也能隐藏自己的形态；大则可以引起九天云雾，小则可以隐藏在海水中，升则可以飞腾至宇宙间，隐则可以潜伏在波涛之中，形态大小不一，我见到的龙从几十厘米到数百米不等。
Dragons are beings that exist in three to four dimensions. The dragon clan claims to play a role in "balancing" celestial bodies in the universe by controlling the weather and adjusting vibration frequencies. They can make themselves visible to most people, and some can even transform into animals such as plum deer and crocodiles. Dragons can change their size and form, both growing larger or smaller, ascending to the heavens or hiding their forms. When they are large, they can create clouds and mist in the sky, while when they are small, they can hide in the sea. Dragons can soar to the universe when they ascend, or lurk in the waves when they hide. Their size and form vary greatly, with some dragons being as small as several tens of centimeters, while others are several hundred meters long.

I am not torn by duality, because I do not worship any other than the Lord; I do not visit tombs or crematoriums.

God's Light shines continually within the nucleus of my deepest self; I am lovingly attached to the Bani, the Word of the True Lord Master. Pause

ਮਨੂਆ ਪਉਣੁ ਬਿੰਦੁ ਸੁਖਵਾਸੀ ਨਾਮਿ ਵਸੈ ਸੁਖ ਭਾਈ ॥
The mind is like the wind, but if it comes to rest in peace, even for an instant, then he shall abide in the peace of the Name, O Siblings of Destiny.

ਭਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਮਿ ਰਜੇ ਸੰਤੋਖੀ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਸਹਜਿ ਪੀਆਈ ॥੩॥
He remains content, satisfied with the charity of the Naam; he drinks in the Ambrosial Amrit with ease. 3
ਦੁਬਿਧਾ ਵਿਚਿ ਬੈਰਾਗੁ ਨ ਹੋਵੀ ਜਬ ਲਗੁ ਦੂਜੀ ਰਾਈ ॥
There is no renunciation in duality, as long as there is even a particle of duality.
ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਤੂ ਏਕੋ ਦਾਤਾ ਅਵਰੁ ਨ ਦੂਜਾ ਭਾਈ ॥
The whole world is Yours, Lord; You alone are the Giver. There is not any other, O Siblings of Destiny.
ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਜੰਤ ਦੁਖਿ ਸਦਾ ਨਿਵਾਸੀ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਦੇ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥

ਮਸਤਕਿ ਲੇਖੁ ਜੀਆ ਜਗਿ ਜੋਨੀ ਸਿਰਿ ਸਿਰਿ ਲੇਖੁ ਸਹਾਮੰ ॥
The creatures born into this world have their destiny inscribed upon their foreheads; they experience according to their destinies.
ਕਰਮ ਸੁਕਰਮ ਕਰਾਏ ਆਪੇ ਆਪੇ ਭਗਤਿ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਮੰ ॥

ਅਕਥੈ ਕਾ ਕਿਆ ਕਥੀਐ ਭਾਈ ਚਾਲਉ ਸਦਾ ਰਜਾਈ ॥
How can I describe the indescribable, O Siblings of Destiny? I shall follow His Will forever.
ਗੁਰੁ ਦਾਤਾ ਮੇਲੇ ਤਾ ਮਤਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਨਿਗੁਰੇ ਮਤਿ ਨ ਕਾਈ ॥
If one meets with the Guru, the Generous Giver, then he understands; those who have no Guru cannot understand this.
ਜਿਉ ਚਲਾਏ ਤਿਉ ਚਾਲਹ ਭਾਈ ਹੋਰ ਕਿਆ ਕੋ ਕਰੇ ਚਤੁਰਾਈ ॥੬॥
As the Lord causes us to act, so do we act, O Siblings of Destiny. What other clever tricks can anyone try? 6
ਇਕਿ ਭਰਮਿ ਭੁਲਾਏ ਇਕਿ ਭਗਤੀ ਰਾਤੇ ਤੇਰਾ ਖੇਲੁ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥
Some are deluded by doubt, while others are imbued with devotional worship; Your play is infinite and endless.
ਜਿਤੁ ਤੁਧੁ ਲਾਏ ਤੇਹਾ ਫਲੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਤੂ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਚਲਾਵਣਹਾਰਾ ॥
As You engage them, they receive the fruits of their rewards; You alone are the One who issues Your Commands.
ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰੀ ਜੇ ਕਿਛੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਅਪਣਾ ਜੀਉ ਪਿੰਡੁ ਤੁਮਾਰਾ ॥
I would serve You, if anything were my own; my soul and body are Yours.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕੀਨੀ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਨਾਮੁ ਅਧਾਰਾ ॥੭॥
One who meets with the True Guru, by His Grace, takes the Support of the Ambrosial Naam. 7

He dwells in the heavenly realms, and his virtues radiantly shine forth; meditation and spiritual wisdom are found in virtue.
ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਵੈ ਕਹੈ ਕਹਾਵੈ ਤਤੋ ਤਤੁ ਵਖਾਨੰ ॥
The Naam is pleasing to his mind; he speaks it, and causes others to speak it as well. He speaks the essential essence of wisdom.
ਸਬਦੁ ਗੁਰ ਪੀਰਾ ਗਹਿਰ ਗੰਭੀਰਾ ਬਿਨੁ ਸਬਦੈ ਜਗੁ ਬਉਰਾਨੰ ॥

2023.04.01 05:56 HelloMyNameIsDennis The Simple Attention Practice - Part 2c
One more thing I wanted to add,
When you see the points of tension and they cause you to react or draw you away into thought..
Once you become aware that you have been caught up in an emotion, or have been drawn into a stream of thinking... DO NOT JUDGE THE EMOTION OR THOUGHTS.
You don't want to judge them because it only causes you to become recaptured by the emotion or thoughts.
Also don't deny them by saying something to the effect of, "Oh,, I see the emotion of anger, but you don't matter.. you're small and nothing to me....", This is still judgement and attention and the ego feeds off it and pulls you back in, whether you see it or you don't at the moment..
Instead, notice the emotion or thought... Go, Silent.
why?....
Well, lets describe the Attention, or Awareness a little..
Attention is NOT emotions, it is also NOT thoughts, it is also in-fact, not fantasies and images....
Attention is not bias and it does not care what is good, bad, or ugly.
Attention does not want anything, nor does it seek for anything...
Attention only give light to, and feeds whatever it is focused on.
So, in knowing this.. All you have to do when you notice that you've been caught in the emotion or thoughts is to first go silent. And then place the Attention back on the next body part.
The reactionary, emotional, thought filled nerves in the body and mind may continue to fire, And LIKELY, it will fire even harder in order to gain back attention. It might feel like it's on fire and it'll shout and scream like a child, maybe it'll give off messages of panic and urgency telling you that you need to think about this, that or the other or harm might come to you.. you might be too late, you might end up missing something, etc....
That is completely fine!
Let it do whatever it feels it must do,
And here is another Big Key
KNOW.... REMEMBER.... you are NOT the emotion, you are NOT the reaction, and you are NOT the thoughts or the State..
You are the Attention,, you are Awareness.
This Knowledge is very easily forgotten in this process because it's actually covered up by lesser States. Once you overcome these lesser States, it's very obvious but until then, you'll just have to keep coming back to this reminder.

2023.04.01 05:54 betterAThalo please make sense of excomunicado for me?
so i know there have been some posts about this but they didn't really answer my question.
after watching John Wick 4 i recently went back to watch John Wick 1.
the main villain guy offers 4 million to anyone who breaks continental rules to kill John.
in future movies we see this will cause you to be excomunicado.
it does not seem that 4 million would be nearly enough to risk going excomunicado right?
SO THIS GOT ME THINKING?
was what John was going through with his excomunicado different than a normal excomunicado?
was his so rough because of his huge bounty on his head?
would a normal person who gets excomunicado have the same level of intensity going after them?
if not then what would their punishment look like?

2023.04.01 05:54 80HDlynn Sudden aggression. Need advice. Please help.
Hi. I’ll start off by saying I have an appointment with my vet to make sure nothing is going on medically and for a more thorough professional plan of action. I am willing to take any course of professional action to resolve this. In the meantime I would like ideas, opinions, and guidance.
I have two 3 year old Italian Greyhounds. They have been together since they were 4 months old and 9 months old. Have never had any aggression problems with either of them. A little sibling rivalry, jealousy, or competing for attention here or there.
Suddenly the younger of the two who is typically less dominant has started to get aggressive after they eat to the point that his hair stands up on his back and the fight starts to get so aggressive I feel like I need to intervene and separate them. They are fed out of separate bowls and fully finish eating (no food is in the bowl when this happens). There have been no changes to environment, diet, family schedule, or any controllable I can think of to cause this. It always happen after eating, and sometimes my other dog does not even interact, will just try to go to his bed or on another area of the room and my dog with sudden aggression will attack him. In the mean time I have tried ignoring this, distracting after meal time, feeding in separate rooms, nothing has worked so far. Other then after meal time these two are best friends and get along great. Is this considered food aggression? I will have my dog at the vet to make sure there are no underlying health issues that may be causing this behavior change, and will be willing to work with a trainer or behavioralist if recommended. I am just looking to see what you would classify this as, and what I can do in the meantime to prevent this type of behavior. Thanks so much if you have read all of this.
Edit: I pick up their bowls as soon as they are done eating, and neither dog shows aggression to me over food, or empty bowl.

2023.04.01 05:54 Sunnivaz9314 ✡通灵记录 ✡ 中国12生肖之龙🐉，一种真正存在地球上的的外星生物🌌。 🐉The Dragon🐉, one of the 12 Chinese zodiacs, is a real extraterrestrial creature existing on Earth🌌.
 | submitted by Sunnivaz9314 to u/Sunnivaz9314 [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/gj5zpo6z37ra1.jpg?width=1016&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ca9971feb1d6927230619315505b02530de68b5 在我过往的帖子提到，我后天感知能力被加强后，就开始逐渐接触到外星人了。但是除了外星人之外，有一种高维的生物也是我经常见到的。就是中国神话故事中经常出现的龙，12生肖之一。 I have mentioned in my previous posts that after my psychic ability was strengthened, I gradually started to come into contact with aliens. Besides alien ,I often encounter another high-dimensional creature: thee Dragon, one of the 12 Chinese zodiacs. I believe it is not only an extraterrestrial being but also a real being that exists on Earth. 我所见到龙的外观和中国历史中描述的可为一模一样。在2022年初，我去北京的中国国家博物馆，我当时去了B1层的古代馆。其展厅陈列以王朝更替的文物为主线来展现各个朝代的发展特点。古代馆涵盖了从远古约200万年前到明清时期公元1368年-1911年的历史时期。而对龙的记载可以追溯到旧石器时代。除了文字、图腾、雕塑、彩绘、画像，龙的形象一直延续至今，成为了民间习俗。 The dragon I have seen is identical to the one described in Chinese history. In early 2022, I visited the Ancient Gallery at the National Museum of China in Beijing. The exhibition hall mainly presents the development features of each dynasty based on the artifacts of dynasties. The Ancient Gallery covers the historical period from the Paleolithic period around 2 million years ago to the Ming and Qing Dynasties from 1368 AD to 1911 AD. The records of the dragon can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. In addition to words, totems, sculptures, paintings, and portraits, the image of the dragon has been passed down to this day and has become a widespread custom. 虽然现代人普遍认为龙是古人丰富想象力创造出来的生物，但是在博物馆中展示的龙的形象记录与我所接触到的实物非常相似。因此，在我看来，这些形象记录并不是古人的想象，而是根据实物进行的写生。 Although modern people generally believe that dragons are creatures of ancient people's rich imaginations, the image records of dragons displayed in the museum are very similar to the real objects I have encountered. Therefore, in my view, these image records are not the imaginations of the ancients, but sketches based on the actual objects. 中国的文字起源于象形文字，而象形文字是指利用图形来表达事物的文字。如果龙只是虚构的生物，那么就不可能存在与其相应的文字形象。因此，由此也可以推断出，龙的形象记录并非纯粹的想象，而是与实物有着紧密的关联。 Chinese characters originated from pictographs, which are symbols used to express things. Since dragons are fictional creatures, there cannot be a corresponding pictograph for them. Therefore, it can be inferred that the image of dragons is not merely imagined, but is closely connected with reality. 据文献记载，龙的形态为“角似鹿、头似驼、眼似兔、项似蛇、腹似蜃、鳞似鱼、爪似鹰、掌似虎、耳似牛”。龙被视为吉祥、正义、兴旺和力量的象征，尤其是对水、降雨、台风和洪水的控制。龙大部分潜藏于海洋和大型湖泊、河流之中。它们可以在水中游动、攫食、射杀和攻击，这些特性也被记录下来，成为龙的象征。 Historical records show that dragons have antlers like deer, heads like camels, eyes like a rabbit, necks like a snake, bellies like a clam, scales like fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like a cow. They are associated with auspiciousness, justice, prosperity, and strength, especially in terms of controlling water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. Dragons usually remain hidden in oceans and large lakes and rivers and can swim, seize food, shoot, and attack in the water. These characteristics have been documented and have become symbols of dragons. 在中国民间，四海龙王是备受尊敬的神灵，包括东海龙王、南海龙王、西海龙王和北海龙王等。其形象与人间所记录的相似，均为龙头人身，身穿华丽的汉服。唯独南海龙王只有一个螺旋状的独角，而且南海龙王那一脉的龙都是白色基底的。而西海龙王那一脉都有双翼。 In Chinese folklore, the Four Dragon Kings are greatly revered, including the Dong Hai（East Sea） Dragon King, Nan Hai （South Sea）Dragon King, Xi Hai （West Sea）Dragon King, and Bei Hai（North Sea） Dragon King. Their images are like those recorded on earth, with dragon heads and human bodies wearing splendid Hanfu. The Nan Hai Dragon King alone has a spiral single horn, and the dragons in its lineage are all white-based. In addition, the dragons of the Xi Hai Dragon King's lineage all have double wings. 龙王是管理海洋及人间气候、风雨的龙神。我们现在所处的世界中的降水归东海龙王管辖。东海龙王曾告诉我，如果某个地方的人们在海洋中杀戮过度，那么该地区就会遭遇干旱。而恶念弥漫的地方也会经历更多的天灾。因此，我认为天灾实际上都是由人祸所致。 Dragon Kings are dragon gods in charge of the ocean and the climate of the human world. The Dong Hai Dragon King is responsible for the precipitation in the world we live in. The Dong Hai Dragon King once told me that if people in a certain place over-slaughter in the ocean, that area will suffer drought. Areas filled with evil thoughts will also experience more disasters. Thus, I believe that natural disasters are caused by human misdeeds. 在中国文化中，龙代表吉祥如意、和谐长久，以及风调雨顺。我所见到的龙形态与中国文献中的描述一样，无论东西方。过去两年，我见过的不下50种龙，它们身上都有不同的纹路图案和颜色，非常漂亮，比历史记录中的更为丰富多彩，姿态优美。 In Chinese culture, dragons symbolize auspiciousness, harmony, and peace. The dragon forms I have seen are similar to those described in Chinese literature, both in the East and West. In the past two years, I have seen over 50 kinds of dragons, each with different patterns and colours, very beautiful, more vibrant than those in historical records, and elegant in posture. These special images have been documented and have become symbols of dragons in different cultures. 在人杰地灵的地方，龙的色泽特别好看。有趣的是，负责降温的龙都是蓝白色的纹理和图案，而负责降雪的龙则呈现出透明的冰雕般的状态。在民风较为恶劣的和业障重的地方，当地的龙看起来会有点营养不良的感觉。 In places with remarkable people and spirits, the hue of dragons is particularly beautiful. Interestingly, the dragons responsible for cooling have blue and white textures and patterns, while those responsible for snowfall have a transparent ice-like state. In places with poor customs and heavy karma, the local dragons appear somewhat malnourished. 龙族表示，如果某个地方出现洪水暴雨，那并非是它们所控制的。直到去年我在中国一些持续强降雨的地方，才看到的龙形态不同，丑陋，几乎都是黑色。 Dragon clan said that if there is flood and heavy rain in a certain place, it is not under their control. Until last year, I saw different dragon forms in some places with continuous heavy rainfall in China, which were ugly and almost all black. 龙的出现是因为当地人们正念大，而正念大的地方就会有瑞祥之物，龙的出现。所以说啊，国泰民安不是神决定的，而是人心。自2022年以来，东海龙王的龙族从世界各地逐渐撤离。这表明控制天气的高维生物的减少似乎暗示着极端气候在不久的将来日子会变得更加常见。当我2022年8月回到多伦多时，发现五大湖区域原本五条东海龙王旗下的龙变成了一条白色独角龙，这又是代表着什么呢？ The appearance of dragons is due to the positive thinking of the local people, and positive thoughts will bring auspicious things, such as dragons. So, national peace and prosperity are not decided by gods, but by people's minds. Since 2022, the Dragon Clan of the Dong Hai Dragon King has gradually departed from all over the world. This shows that the decrease in high-dimensional creatures controlling the weather seems to imply that extreme weather will become more common shortly. When I returned to Toronto in August 2022, I noticed that the five dragons from the Dong Hai Dragon King in the Great Lakes area had become a white single-horned dragons, what does this signify? 龙是位于三四维的生物，龙族自称在宇宙中的星体中起到一个“平衡”的作用，能够控制天气，调节震动频率，让大部分人都可以见到，而一些龙甚至可以幻变成梅花鹿和鳄鱼。他们既能变大，也能变小，能上天升天，也能隐藏自己的形态；大则可以引起九天云雾，小则可以隐藏在海水中，升则可以飞腾至宇宙间，隐则可以潜伏在波涛之中，形态大小不一，我见到的龙从几十厘米到数百米不等。 Dragons are beings that exist in three to four dimensions. The dragon clan claims to play a role in "balancing" celestial bodies in the universe by controlling the weather and adjusting vibration frequencies. They can make themselves visible to most people, and some can even transform into animals such as plum deer and crocodiles. Dragons can change their size and form, both growing larger or smaller, ascending to the heavens or hiding their forms. When they are large, they can create clouds and mist in the sky, while when they are small, they can hide in the sea. Dragons can soar to the universe when they ascend, or lurk in the waves when they hide. Their size and form vary greatly, with some dragons being as small as several tens of centimetres, while others are several hundred meters long. |
2023.04.01 05:53 euphonoid Need advice on my poor wifi situation (new apartment)
Hi guys, I just moved to a new rental apartment and setup my network the same as it had previously been set up in my old house, and it isn't working nearly as well.
The wifi is fine when standing near the router (upstairs living area), but it's much worse downstairs in the bedrooms. My PC (which has a TP-Link Archer T9E AC1900) has a lot of trouble connecting and staying connected. When it does, the speed is 40% of what it is next to the router. My phone (Pixel 6A, 2022) and laptop (HP Elitebook, 2020) fare much better at connecting and staying connected, but the speed is still only at about 60%.
The router I have is the TP-Link Archer VR600, which is a little old (2016) but which has previously been very reliable. I actually have two more of them in other properties, and they work perfectly (houses though, not apartments).
WiFi Analyser (phone app) shows that there are a lot of networks in this area, probably due to the dense living arrangements. I was wondering if that could be causing my problem?
I was considering getting a new router, new wireless card, wireless boosters, WAPs etc. The access point for the router is also at one end of the room, so maybe moving it to be more central and higher up would help?
Which change is going to the the most effective? Is there anything else I should be considering?

2023.04.01 05:52 Select-Pudding3129 How should I tell my GF to cool it with her independence?
Hi, I (22F) am seeking advice on approaching my GF (18F) on some issues I've seen with her. She has depression and anxiety, which can make communication difficult if you don't do things right, and I really wanna do this right by her. For both her and her kid.
I want to talk about how she stone-walled me and completely blew off my help when I wanted to help her study for the practice test for the ASVAB since she didn't score very well the first time. There was also the time when I was trying to see her progress with her job search since she got fired a few days prior, but she closed off as soon as I started asking her questions. I don't want her to let me in and depend on me completely. I don't want her to shut me out completely and just tell me that she wants to do it on her own. She also comments that she's not as smart as me or that I wouldn't understand her cause I had it better.
Each time, I tell her that I know I can't understand her and the things she's been through but that she shouldn't give up because of the past and that she should still try even though it's very difficult for her compared to others like me. I know easy for me to say.
Maybe, if it happened once or twice, I could blame it on myself, but she does this every time I try to help her or try to figure out a solution to one of her problems. She already has insecurities about this relationship, constantly asking me questions about whether or not I love her. I always reassure her, but this might put her into a depression if I don't word this right.
How should I bring this up in a way she knows I only want the best for her? I can see that she's trying, and it makes me feel amazing when she tells me about the things she gets done. Also, tell me if I'm doing anything wrong or not thinking clearly. I've never been good with delicate confrontations or relationships sometimes.

2023.04.01 05:51 Zoydberg_ Does drill protection cause issues for you?
Out of curiosity...
I frequent all the typical LPL, lockpicking, locksmith and such and have really become to understand the trade
Those mortises that have the drill protection pins, do they make your job harder if you can't pick it? Do you guys use a mag drill (if commercial door anyway)
Thanks in advance

2023.04.01 05:49 Abject_Plantain1696 Willow, The Forest Florist
Willow, the Forest Florist
Hello, it's maGeDNA here! I'd like to introduce you to Willow, the Forest Florist. This champion went through many iterations before I got here as you may have noticed she is similar to Sequoia, The God-Willow's Woeful Caretaker, a champ I had made prior. I put a lot of thought into Willow's design, theme-wise and ability-wise. I want to thank u/theheraId u/renegadepony and u/FallenDemonX for their thoughtful opinions, guidance, and support. You guys keep inspiring me to pursue design!Classes: Enchanter
Roles: Support
Region: Ionia, Omikayalan Forest
Species: God-Willow Sapling
Damage Type: Magic
Champion Appearance:
In her sapling form she is an elegant child, with a wood-nymph-esque body with bark-like skin wearing a green and gold summer dress. When she achieves her budding form she grows taller and the bud on her head becomes golden. When she blooms, she looks like a beautiful woman, wearing a green and gold dress with a large golden God-Willow Flower on her head.Similar to this but with bark like skin and a large golden flower on her head.
Image for visualization (I don't own this image!):

Champion Lore:
Willow’s life began once her mother was killed. The God-Willow of the Omikayalan Forest, known as the Heart of the World, was killed having been chopped down by a cruel man by the name of Ivern. In a last ditch effort the God-Willow, had bundled its life energy into 2 seeds. 1 seed was thrown towards the murderer in an effort to cleanse his evil so that he would not continue to harm the rest of the Forest. He had been chosen to be the Forest’s caretaker. The second Seed was cast high into the sky, dated to be carried by the wind who knows where. The God-Willow’s had hoped its child could have a different fate than herself. The child would be free to roam the world instead of being stuck to one place. A life outside the forest would be hard, but if the child survived, they would bloom into an immaculate God-Willow able to endure anything.Months Later…
A tall, beautiful, lightly tanned woman wearing red and gold armor was laying down next to a slender, pale-skinned woman. The slender woman was wearing a simple black robe with turquoise and silver pattern. She was staring at the tanned woman while the tanned woman looked in awe towards the sunrise.Years Later…
“How beautiful that the sun always rises…”, the tanned woman said.
“Lee…I don’t know what you see in the Sun…it just hurts my eyes…” the pale woman said in response, rubbing her eyes.
Leona turned her head to face the pale-skinned woman.
“Dee…you just don’t understand…”, Leona said, grabbing her hand and looking into her white eyes. Diana stared back intently at Leona’s glowing brown eyes, almost like she was finally seeing the beauty of the Sun.
“You don’t have the Solari’s eyes…you wouldn’t understand,” said Leona, her auburn hair tangling with Diana’s white hair. “You couldn’t. And you shouldn’t be looking at the sun anyways, you’ll hurt your eyes even more.”
“Meh. I don’t care about my eyes, Lee, you know I don’t. I just want to understand your obsession. I would understand if it was the moon. But the sun? Come on…at this rate you’ll be chosen to be the next aspect host…leaving me here alone on this mountain”, Diana said looking away, laying down on her back with her hands on the back of her head.
“Dee…I wouldn’t leave you even if I did become the host…I’d still remember you…”, Lee said, but Diana could hear Leona’s uncertainty in her voice.
“Yea right. The moment you become the host for the Solari, I’m offering my body to the Lunari in a heartbeat…I wouldn’t be able to live.”
Leona smiled, “You know…moonlight…moonlight is sunlight…these wars are stupid…let’s just enjoy our time together.” She laid down next to Diana and they sat in silence feeling the wind against their face for what seemed like hours.
Smack! Something fell on Diana’s face. She sat up and grabbed what felt like a rock in her hand. It was a seed.
Leona sat up. “What is it?”
“Here. You can have it. Looks like a seed of some sort…wake me up when the new moon rises”, Diana said going back to sleep.
Leona held the seed in her palm tightly vowing to keep her promise. She kept the seed in her pocket. She was the next host, she knew it. She just hoped she would remember Diana after the ritual…
The Aspect of the Sun, Leona was fighting a terrible battle involving the Lunari atop Mount Targon. She stared at the Pale-skinned woman dashing across the mountaintop slaying her brethren. Leona was about to support them in battle, about to stun this woman, when she winced from pain. The necklace she had made many years ago, with a large seed as the pendant, was burning her neck and chest.1 Decade Later…
Leona instinctively grabbed her necklace, She kept thinking about this Pale-skinned woman. Diana…was her name Diana, that didn’t seem right. She looked so familiar…her white hair…her white eyes. As if looking at the craters of a full moon. Leona’s head hurt as if she was fighting back another soul.
Something had clicked. She remembered. It was the host’s memories forcing its way up into Leona’s mind. Not now, not when the Solari were in danger. They needed Her help. Leona struggled to keep balance, she had fallen to the ground clenching the Seed with her hands. She released a burst of sunlight in pain, a solar flare burst forward blasting her armour and necklace off of her. She collapsed on the ground. But everyone on the battlefield didn’t look towards Leona, instead they looked at the glowing bright seed in the grassy terrain.
The seed had broken off from the necklace glowing with a golden light. It was pulsing so bright the warriors could not tell if it was day or night…
A crack. A green tree shoot had burst forward from the seed quickly. When the golden light had stopped pulsing, a child was standing in the seed’s location.
The child was smiling, and looked like a cross between a girl and a tree. She had skin that looked like tree bark but was wearing a elegant dress made of green leaves. She had a golden head where it looked like a golden flower could bloom.
“W-where am I? W-who am I? W-why am I here?”
Leona stood back up. But this was not the same Leona anymore. The host had won the battle against the Aspect.
Leona had returned back to her body.
Leona looked at the child. She thought she was beautiful. A miracle. For such a child to be born in the midst of war…this must be fate.
Leona turned to face the Solari, “we are retreating! Everyone stand down, now!” Leona said with as much bravery she could muster. The Solari acknowledged her and did just that, marching down the Mountain.
“Coward!!” Diana yelled, raising and shaking her Khopesh in anger.
Leona felt tears fall down her face. She turned to face Diana.
“Dee…you just don’t understand…” Diana spoke softly, looking into Diana’s white eyes, “ You couldn’t understand…”, Leona clenched her eyelids, tears continuing to fall, “and stop looking at me with those eyes…you’re just going to hurt me even more…”
Leona turned around, accepting her fate, her eyes still closed. She opened her eyes with resolve. She ran towards the Sapling Child and grabbed her into her arms ignoring all protests. But to her surprise the child just giggled. Leona kept running, as far away as she could from this stranger in Dee’s body.
She could hear the impostor-Diana’s screams of anger as she ran down Mount Targon.
She looked at the Sapling child and her wide smile.
Leona smiled back, the widest, happiest smile of her life.
“She really did offer herself after losing me…” she told the child, “she loved me…”
The child smiled back then laughed an innocent, pure laugh.
“What a will you have, child…to laugh in the middle of war…I think I have the perfect name for you…”
Leona had become accustomed to a life away from battle and the Solari. She was a mother now and she had raised her Sapling-Child with love.
“Mom! Mom! Mom! Why won’t I grow!! Everyone else in school is taller than me!!” Said the sapling-child throwing her wooden sword to the ground.
“Willow…”, Leona said, picking up the wooden sword, “everyone grows differently in their own way, at their own speed. I grew tall, but Yordles grow small.”
“But! But! But! I’m not a Yordle! I don’t know what I am! My friends at school keep calling me Maokai and swors ‘cause I’m no different than that stupid wooden sword you're holding…”
Leona knew it was time to tell her. She kneeled down till she was eye-level with Willow, looking into Willow’s white eyes. Leona smiled.
“You are different from your friends. That’s all. Nothing more, nothing less, my child. They are fools for not accepting you for the bundle of joy you are. But you are right…you are not like them. In fact…”, Leona hesitated but pushed forward “you are even different from me. I am a Solari. And you…you are a miracle.”
“I-I’m different from you?” Willow said, confused.
Leona nodded, smiling.
“But you’re my mom.”
Leona nodded again, “I am, and I couldn’t be happier,” Leona kissed Willow on her head and hugged her. Sunlight and warmth filled the air and the golden part of Willow’s head began to change. She was budding. A golden bud had emerged on top of Willow’s head and began to glow a warm light similar to Leona’s eyes. Leona was amazed. She also confirmed her own theory of Willow’s origins.
“W-what’s happening!??”
“Relax child,” Leona smiled assuringly, “This is normal. I told you. Everyone grows differently, in their own way, at their own speed. Look,” Leona pointed at the mirror behind Willow.
The bud on Willow’s head was large and golden and sunlight was shining from within. The bud itself was half of Willow’s height.
“Whoaaa!! I’m so tall now!!” Willow touched the bud in her head with her hands, making sure it was real. Then she turned to her mother and hugged her.
“You were right mom! Everyone grows differently, in their own way, at their own speed! Even me!” She turned and faced the mirror once again. Leona met eyes with Willow in the mirror’s reflection.
“Mom! I’m gonna keep growing! Then I can protect you and even that white-haired woman you have a picture of! I’ll stop the wars between the Lunari and Solari! I promise! Just give me some time! I swear I’ll grow up to become strong! I’ll grow up fast! I promise.”
Leona began crying. “I know you will. You will become so strong…you already are. Just promise me you won’t grow up too fast…”
“Mmmm…okay…”
The mother and daughter hugged once more, filling the small home with warm sunlight, once more.

I'll grow you into the beautiful flower I know you can be!”Willow can basic-attack her allies to make them bloom over 2 seconds healing 80-250 (based on level) (+50% AP) health during the duration but requires the consumption of 1 Willow Fruit to do so. Basic attacking an ally again during the bloom duration does not consume Willow Fruit but accelerates growth, instantly healing them for the remainder of the heal and granting them Willow’s Sapling Form’s bonus movement speed for 1 second.Willow’s basic attacks after achieving Blossomed Form instantly bloom her allies, healing them for the heal amount on-hit.
Willow can basic-attack an ally ward to heal its health by 1.Budding or blossoming a ward costs 5% of Willow’s current health. Consuming a Willow Fruit heals Willow for 10% maximum health.

Skill 4R: Pollen Power!
“Bless you, bless you, bless you!! Hmm…looks like that’s not working…okay let me try!!”Passive:
Ally champions marked with Pollen cannot have their Pollen consumed while within a certain range of Willow.
Range: 525Active:
Bloomed Brushes and Bloomed Wards (and Willow if she has achieved her Blossomed Form) release pollen in a circle around themselves, marking all champions standing in the effect radius with Pollen for 8 seconds.Champions marked with Pollen mark other champions they come within a proximity range of, over 1 second (static 8 second cooldown). Champions marked with Pollen additionally convert all wards they come within a proximity range of, into bloomed wards over 1 second.
A champions’ first basic attack against a champion marked with Pollen consumes the Pollen to make them sneeze, blinding them for a duration.
If Willow has achieved her Budded Form they are rooted for the duration as well.
Proximity Range: 300 Blind: 1.5/2/2.5 seconds Root: 1.5/2/2.5 seconds Cooldown:120/100/80 secondsIf Willow has achieved her Blossomed Form*, Willow gains access to* Sunshine Blessing!:
Recast: Sunshine Blessing!
Willow shoots sunshine in a line in front of herself. If sunshine comes into contact with a champion marked with Pollen she consumes the mark and stuns them for a duration if it was an enemy or cleanses the mark and shields them if it was an ally.Sunshine’s cooldown is reset when a Pollen mark is consumed or cleansed.
If at least 3 marks of Pollen were consumed/ cleansed total, she bears fruit to a God-Willow Fruit herself, instantly consuming it.
Sunshine Range: 600 Stun: 1.5/2/2.5 Shield: 80/120/160 (+75% AP) Cooldown: 4 seconds
Playstyle:
Willow is a gardener running from ward to ward, brush to brush tending to her garden hoping that they bear Willow Fruit. She heals with her basic attacks but constantly is in need of Willow Fruits to do. She can zone with her Q but needs to land her Bloom Doom light beams to help ensure damage and stun. She can make her own brushes for lanes where she cannot walk up to the brushes in lane. The more she gardens the more impactful she is as an enchanter.She can join her jungler in the jungle to play alongside the jungler to gain map control with her vision control. Since she gains movement speed towards brushes she will quickly move within the jungle.
Players should try to get as many Willow Fruit as they can to heal allies but also so that she can achieve her Blossomed Form and gain a lot of healing and shielding power, in addition to empowered ability effects.
The E shield is not very big compared to other champs normally, but can get big after setting up her garden and charging. Most likely used in emergencies.
Ult helps "bring to fruition" more Willow Fruits in teamfights and adds a form of cc. When bloomed the cc becomes a stun also. Using the ult to gain God-Willow Fruit should be capitalized on when ulting but not necessarily a focus when ulting as just trying to stun enemies with Sunshine will help make that happen on its own.
Intended Max Order:
R, Q or E depending on lane, then WMessage:
Hope you like Willow! More champions coming soon! Let me know what you think! All feedback welcome!- maGeDNA
2023.04.01 05:49 papasbelly Would I ruin my chances of I slept with someone else?
Would I [21f] ruin my chances with weird situationship with feelings by meeting with another guy?
I (21F) am kind of in a strange situation. About 4 months ago I met this amazing guy (23F) that I like a lot. The issue is he just separated from a long term relationship and has made it clear he is not ready for a relationship yet. It’s still a bit early and right now we are kind of just friends who also do other things together (iykyk).
Now, I know I’m putting myself in a situation where I am more than likely going to get my feelings hurt. And I’m ok with it because I want to know him. It’s strange, I’ve never connected with a guy like I’ve connected with him.
He’s amazing with communication and making sure I’m comfortable with the situation. He’s the first man to ever make me finish. I know this sounds like a typical situationship (been there) but you just have to trust me on this, It’s not. There’s a genuine connection there that could become something more if we were both on board. And he’s a genuine friend from what I’ve seen so far. iiiiiiii like him a lot, and I know it’s bad.
About 2 weeks ago he asked me if I’d be comfortable if he met with an old friend coming to visit in a few months. I said that’s fine, I just didn’t want to hear about it. He was kind of shocked by this, but he was really sweet about it and said he wouldn’t if it caused any discomfort, but I just figured since we aren’t in a relationship I can’t really tell him not to sleep around. He still hasn’t met with her.
I’m not going to lie, it did hurt my feelings a little. I guess I’m still holding out hope this won’t be a dead end. In response he asked me if I had met with anyone since we started seeing each other. I told him no, and he said he wanted to know if I did.
Now, before I met him, I had a regular friend I’d call when I wanted some LOL. And I’ve kind of just been ghosting him ever since I met this new guy. I don’t necessarily want to restrict myself if this is going to end up being a dead end (old friend is good at what he does if you know what I mean). But I also don’t wanna ruin my chances for it to become something more by just sleeping around.
Would it ruin my chances if I slept with old guy? Is new guy just a dead end that I should treat as such?

2023.04.01 05:48 hellscrownprincess AITA for not liking my ½ sister
My ½ sister well call her Ella and I are 5 years apart our birthgiver let's call her rae is a narcissistic drunk and from the time I was born to the time I was 7 she emotional and verbally abused me along with neglected me while having Ella on her arm as many bait. Ella's father who we all left shortly after Ella was born would be my standards abuse me but according to the law it wasn't abuse (he would spank me with no reason using various objects ping pong pattle wood etc when I wasn't his child).
I moved to 52 homes and 7 schools (grandmother kept count) and while I did my school stuff and was neglected rae expect me to stay out of her way not be a burden and do the part of raising Ella that I she didn't want to do (feed her change her etc). When I was 7 the "incident" happened Ella ended up with a brain injury from Rae's boyfriend and tried to blame me for it when the police questioned her. I was sent to a foster home while Ella was getting treated. Ella got an organization named after her and got shop with a cop got to me famous people because she went though trauma but she couldn't remember anything where as I remember everything.
As of now I'm 20 and Ella is 15 we don't like each other she has caused me physical harm a few times though the years and often says she wishes I wasn't her sister. It doesn't phase me cause I don't like her. Any time she does something wrong or irrational (ex. Cussing out our grandparents) she gets a pass cause of the trauma. Ella knows I hate rae and when I try to voice that she'll tell at me about how are was a good mom and all the crap she thinks happened but she was 2 so she wouldn't remember. Ella blamed me for rae not being allowed near her till she's 18 and if we talk to each other we fight so I avoid speaking to her.
According to my grandparents "you need to get along" and "someday you'll only have eachother" (which is false I have 2 half siblings from my dad I've never met them tho) they get mad when I say that someday I'm never talking to Ella again. So am I the asshole for not liking her?

2023.04.01 05:46 Typical-Act-6214 possible disease while job hunting
Hi, I'm afraid to get checked cause I have a feeling that I might have cervical cancer. I'm also job hunting right now and am about to have some final interviews.
I resigned last Dec cause I cannot handle the workload anymore due to physical pains. The symptoms appeared less after that but now that I'm getting stressed again/ going out more, the pains are coming back.
Ideally, I wanted to get a job first to have HMO before getting diagnosed. I really can't handle the finances in case it is cancer. The symptoms are manageable pa naman but I feel it slowly spreading.
Hopefully, it's not cancer and it's just my anxiety but I'm lost on what to do in case...
