#Durability and self-healing for example

[radiance1]

"Relaaaaaax," Danny twirled a wrench, an easy-going smile on his face as he leaned back in his chair with one hand behind his head. "It'll be fiiine dude, so we'll end up being off from the designated time, no biggie."

"Danny, need I remind you that we are dealing with one of Gotham's many villains?" Handler said, a friend he's managed to gain for himself after coming to Gotham, on the one occasion where he lost most of his powers and was left with only a few of them, like durability and healing.

Danny smirked, throwing the wrench up and down in the air and shrugging. "So? Dude you have me and trust me," Danny pushed against his desk, kicking both him and his chair over to the direction of his handler, looking up at him with a glint in his eyes. "I won't let ya die, bud."

Handler stared at him for a few moments, before brining a hand up to his face and sighing. "Look, I trust you, but we're dealing with the Joker. You know, a man that's unpredictable to all but the bat and his birds?"

Danny hummed, smirk replaced by a thinking expression as he brought his head down to look at his wrench, moving his other hand to rest over his chair. "Well, I'll admit. That is a concern."

Handler looked down at Danny, quiet for a moment as his eyes darkened. "You want me to call it off?" He spoke quietly, hands twitching.

"Nah, this is a great opportunity to make big bucks." Danny moved his arm to the side, and Handler stepped beside his chair and bent down, letting Danny's arm slide across his neck and bring him close to the other boy. "Besides, though I'm confident you could probably give him a run for his money, grabbing the attention of the big B himself and his birds would be far more trouble than it's worth."

Danny then tilted his head, expression as if the thought just came to him. "Oh also, that whole power struggle thing, we don't need one of those in Gotham of all places if you manage to make him croak."

"Hm." Handler grunted, eyes clearing up as he tilted his head. "More time?"

Danny nodded, letting a pleased hum as he nodded his head. "More time."

Danny then released him from under his arm, turning around in his chair to push against the man's leg and roll back over to his desk ass he turned to face it, he placed his wrench on the table and then lifted an open hand up. "Can you pass me one of those screwdrivers please?"

Barely did a few seconds pass by before he caught the requested screwdriver, and he hummed a thanks. "Now off you go negotiate or whatever it is you do outside, stay safe bud!"

Handler nodded and left, quietly closing the door behind him as he thought about what to bring Danny to eat later as the subject of his thoughts got to work on another project.

I was wondering, would Mayday tell the difference between us the the YouTwo?? Cuz from the movie she looks very perceptive and smart enough, so I can’t help but wonder if she could tell when it’s us or YouTwo?

For example; we probably blow on her stomach to make her laugh whenever we greeted her. But YouTwo? She just holds her at arms length and looks at her like she’s a disease

And probably Peter B Parker would know it’s us or not??

I like the idea that certain people and especially the more animal-based Spiders can always kind of inherently tell who's who just by smell alone, but also, something I think I haven't utilized in many of my ideas yet is the Spidey Sense. You can lowkey just spidey vibe check someone and kind of tell or sense stuff about them? And like I dunno if I'm misinterpreting the scene but didn't Miles also have certain visions with some of his Spidey Sense episodes like in the first movie, he has visions of the spider being an alchemax spider just before he meets Blonde Peter, or, idk, he saw visuals with his Spidey Sense

Like sidebar but the whole, kind of vision thing, imagine you're extremely stressed and have you know maybe been doing some self harming stuff and Peter B sees you're going through it one day and, you're actually about to open up to him when you experience the Spidey vision/premonition of, you tell him and he immediately goes and tells Miguel, and you realize oh he's kind of a snitching bastard ain't he (but it's for your own good he promises he's just worried about you kiss kiss uncle Pete loves ya)

But no, I was maybe thinking, YouTwo pops up and Reader is going through their 'beginning a depressive episode' shit and you can tell YouTwo is new and freaked out and, well, it's real easy to see yourself in, well, yourself, and you're like "hey I know what it feels like to feel alone, maybe you could, hang out with this friend of mine, just this once" and you give some tips on how to act around them and, maybe the more you get depressed and feel useless, you actually let them take over more and more and it's when they have some decent "power" that they start actively replacing you and messing with you and trying to kick you out and get rid of you for real

Reader, who is also feeling aimless and depressed: hey other me, why don't you go hang out with this buddy Pavitr of mine, he has this healing energy--

YouTwo: *gets along well with Pavitr and he winds up inviting other friends of yours and YouTwo makes their own independent plans with all of them, basically assimilating deep into your entire friend group and giving themselves more opportunities to steal your friends and more people, and also these hangouts become later 'proof' aka "well im the real one and i can prove it, hey Pavitr remember when we--"*

Reader: hmmmm definitely don't like that!

But no just. Picture Peter B one day finds a little bruise on Mayday, maybe a few of them, and he noticed her temperament is a little different. He can just TELL something is wrong and so can her mother Mary Jane, and Peter thinks, well, there's really not many times she's even out of his sight, ALTHOUGH he DID let 'you' babysit a few times. And at first he wants to play it off, "oh you're just inexperienced with babies and Mayday can be a total handful, you probably just made a mistake" and 'you' even lie and say, maybe it was another kid or Spider animal who got to her when 'you' had barely turned your back

But Peter B gets a little tiny baby monitor/listening device gadget, like a little hard plastic keychain that looks innocent and is ultra durable, and he attaches it to Mayday anyways, just to find out definitively what's happening, and he's with Miguel one day making idle chit chat and they can just hear 'you' over the baby monitor, "why does he keep leaving you with me. I don't even like you, you nasty little monster" and Peter B is just sort of like. ":) haha I'm sure they're. They're joking. They're totally joking" and there's just a series of *yelp* "did you just fucking bite me? Little BITCH!" *Mayday cries out and starts bawling* "yeah you're lucky that's all you get, my parents used to do way worse to me--"

Cue Peter B and Miguel bursting into the room because both fathers are understandably ENRAGED because 1. Dude have 'you' been hurting Parker's literal actual baby and 2. This is not the person they thought it was. Oh SHIT is this not the right person they thought it was

Peter B eventually meets up with you, the real you again, because sometimes i imagine Reader just quietly moves to a normal part of Nueva York and you hand your Spidey life over to YouTwo, and youre understandably a little hateful and dont want to talk to him, but he kinda just, deposits his baby into your arms. Hes gonna baby test ya and see if youre the real one. Mayday just is totally relaxed in your arms, which are noticeably much more careful holding her than your double was because Peter B actually showed you how to hold a baby, and she also has a bandaid on her hand from scratching it against something and you're just like "oh no, you got a little boo boo 🥺 why does your DUMB DADDY keep bringing you around places you can get hurt" and Peter B is like "well ok I think that's a little uncalled for but this one is definitely the real one"

Peter B is then at the front of the Anti YouTwo lynchmob because "that fake HURT MY BABY, Miguel!" which of course wins over a bunch of other formerly skeptical Spiders. You think Jess would ever give YouTwo a second chance? Fuck that, she's not gonna trust some temperamental monster around her baby whenever it's born! Meanwhile Spider Cat who can't talk is over here like "yeah well why do you think I kept biting them, they're a fake 🙄 you see this bullshit, Spider Miette" "jail for faker, jail for faker for one thousand years--"

The Spider Society finally 'gets you back' all "and arent you so happy things can just go back to normal again :)" and you're like "uhhh no fuck you guys, I'll live here but only because you don't give me any other option, the only ones of you I still trust anymore are the animal Spiders, the little kids, Hobie the realest bitch in here who never doubted me, and the toys, isn't that right special edition neon funko pop Miles Morales"

One day after YouTwo has replaced you they get too comfortable thinking everyone is always never once going to question or doubt them anymore and some absolutely heinous shit comes out of their mouth and like they get the social equivalent of one of those Telltale or Fallout video game HUDS pop up, "EVERYONE disliked that" "Miguel will remember that" "social karma lost"

YouTwo, not realizing you did one last thing to fuck them over on the way out: oh hey it's that Hobie guy that's been gone for ages, the real me told me the special password to let him know I'm the real one was "blue lives matter"?

the second that shit comes out of YouTwo's mouth he instantly knows as well as literally anyone around who knows Hobie now knows that's the fake you. YouTwo gets some real life ass [YOU CANNOT FAST TRAVEL WHEN THERE ARE HOSTILES IN YOUR AREA] as Hobie and everyone else for that matter instantly goes into full "I can't kill you but I can beat your ass" mode

Quick thoughts about chapter 1031

A little late for the party but been slowly trying to catch up with One Piece. Wano has been quite eventful arc but so far this here became one of my favorite Wano chapters so far.  

Sanji’s part of the Reasons to love Mugiwaras-series  was written 6 years ago and it focused heavily on WCI arc’s revelations (his past, reasons for his certain ways of behavior i.e sacrifical nature etc.) and we got plenty of answers during the arc and he even received major character developments there. 

There is another thing that was well explained in WCI: why Sanji is competitive around other guys (for example why the bounties always were a big deal for him). I think @movedbento​​​ summed it up in their post: It’s in his childhood, he was always put in comparison against his siblings and was ignored by his biological father. Since he was the only who didn’t have the monstrous superpowers and always ended up being the last one, displeased Judge wiped out Sanji’s existence basically. So, because of the neglection he went through as a child, he has the inner need to be needed and therefore puts his own needs aside and this is what explains the tendency for self-sacrifice. 

While leaving the Whole Cake island, Sanji got the raid suit capsule and he also fulfilled one his dreams in Wano, being invisible and sneaking around the women’s bathhouse.  First he thought the suit was great but when arriving to this chapter, the problems are stacking up. 

Sanji starts to see the downside of the Germa raid suit and although his durability and fighting skills are increasing inhumanly, he notices that he is turning into his brothers. On top of that there was a beaten woman and obviously he started to hesitate whether he did it under the influence of the suit or not. So, all this leads him struggling with a huge decision, whether to trust on his own skills or becoming a Germa soldier. 

Well, he had very conflicting thoughts about the capsule already the first time he saw it and whereas Luffy and Chopper were super excited about it, the cook even stated that he prefers to get stronger by natural ways, not relying on Germa science

So far, Sanji acknowledges the good sides such as how easy it would be to win Queen or fight against ladies (which has been one of his weak points because it’s against his foster father’s teachings). However, he is also truly afraid of losing  the human side of his (the one that makes him who he is). So. again this dilemma is highlighting his strong traits: self sacrifice and kindness. 

Although he learned in WCI arc that he is valuable and important person, at this moment of hesitation in Wano, Sanji still keeps putting people first by thinking what would his captain want instead of what he himself wants.

What makes Sanji’s final decision even more meaningful storywise is the fact that it’s reflecting towards one of the main themes of this series, freedom. He got away from his birth family and tried to forget them but eventually bumped into them again and got trapped. Later he got the chance to tell Judge that Zeff is more father to him than the Germa leader ever was  which was a great moment itself but now that he has erased the final piece that links him to their family, I think this was what Sanji really needed when it comes down to character development. 

So, this chapter is basically him finally breaking free for good. Of course this or WCI didn’t magically heal all the trauma he carried inside years that’ll need years of therapy like all Strawhats need but at least now he is on the right track when it comes down on recovering and becoming stronger for his crew’s sake. 

This alone made this chapter great but also the ending was another chefs kiss-emoji.  Would be cool to see how the original dialogue goes but at least now his request (made because he is afraid things will still still end up with worst case scenario) sounds harsh but on the other hand is completely understandable. 

Most interesting thing is that Oda chose him to ask this from Zoro but somehow he’d be very logical reason compared to other crewmates. Anyway, asking for this kind of huge “favor” tells that no matter how much they bicker in the end, their nakamaship is more than just competing and annoying each other. They have utter trust for each other. 

What tells about their bond as well is that Zoro doesn’t even question Sanji’s request. It’s probably because he knows so well Sanji’s sacrificial nature and that he hates his brothers so much he’d rather die than turn into them. Zoro’s reply is great: basically he accepts the request replying the way he’d be expecting to say but at the same time he  also “ignores” it by telling Sanji he better stay alive no matter what and therefore pushes and motivates Sanji to move forward (because he knows that Sanji will kick Queens ass and just like the others, the cook also has a dream to reach). 

Anyway, all I can say is, amazing work again from Oda! *thumbs up*

[archduke-enver-gortash]

eke essay about his communication and similar topics based on a template by @mycolalia :]

Communication Style

the first thing zeke very much instinctively does when meeting anyone or anything alive is think about how to kill it most quickly and easily. he immediately makes out exposed throats, wrists, veins, etc to slash. shit like that.

zeke is extremely paranoid—if you want to exist near him in any way at all you have to prove that you’re not an active threat to him somehow. he’s like a skittish feral kitten in that way. you just gotta stand there for a bit, no sudden movements, loud noises, attempts at touching and let him sniff you out (he actually does that occasionally. like in the literal sense lol) and you’ll be good. mostly.

why mostly? well. he is still extremely paranoid and since his insight on people is grotesquely terrible he will be suspicious of every tiny little thing, but especially kind acts that you have seemingly no reason for doing to him. (example: in the beginning shadowheart gives him her last healing potion, they’re both injured, but zeke more so. zeke is immediately on high alert and smashes it on the ground in front of her.) again, extreme patience and durability is required here. zeke will never let his guard down around anyone, but you can get him to be less aggressive towards you for at least a while.

still, there’s uh. the rest of his personality. zeke is incredibly cruel and constantly takes any chance to belittle someone in any way possible. (imagine your typical fedora tipping ‘um ackshually’ redditor here). this comes from a combination of being extremely competitive out of a need to be ‘strong’ and even more insecure—he will actually be even meaner to people he’s warmed up to to ‘prove himself’ to them. he thinks you’ll obviously like him more if he corrects you on every tiny little thing he can because you’ll think he’s cool and smart then right?

even then, zeke is extremely volatile and capricious in his emotions. you never know when he ‘decides’ (in quotation marks because it is very much not a conscious decision on zeke’s part most times. it is all about instinct with him.) that you are suddenly a target, or more commonly, in the way of his hunt. (example: slowly warmed up to menena beleret and still took her out with no hesitation whatsoever when she helped gortash.) in the end, this is a fate that will befall anyone close to him since all but the ultimate hunt (what gortash calls their divine war) is nothing but a distraction in the end.

distraction how? let me tell you! zeke gets exclusively attached to people who have a ‘i can fix him’ attitude about him. despite being a self proclaimed hunter of truth, he is a bit of a dreamer to everyone’s detriment. he likes to pretend that he isn’t what he is and people like that let him wallow in this fantasy. he desperately wants people to like him but he will never be able to like them back in any way. people trying to reach out to him are like. clawing themselves through a thorned forest, severely hurting themselves in the process, only to find out that zeke was that forest all along. these people are like momentary rest from his endless pursuit to him at best.

Body Language

very jittery and nervous

paces around in small circles, hops from one foot to the other—he’s almost never completely still.

no clue about social etiquette. will scratch his crotch or pick his nose in public without shame. sorry

eyes everywhere. very perceptive and observant of even the smallest details. useful as a detective.

but! when in a conversation with someone he WILL stare at them intensely and creepily. blinks once every ten minutes maybe. way too much eye contact but stares at you all over generally.

he also gets way too close sometimes. he’s inches away from your face sniffing your breath and goes ‘what huh i’m not being weird you are >:(‘

very guarded. has his arms crossed in front of his chest a lot.

also likes to hide himself away whenever he can. especially in large crowds.

nearly constant snarl. his facial expressions in general are very frightening to say the least.

he also cannot read others body language for shit. total mystery to him.

Speaking Style

zeke did not speak a word for the first ten years of his life and you can tell. his enunciation of some words is completely off, voice very often too loud or too quiet, etc.

he still has trouble speaking. he hates doing it and generally avoids answering in full sentences. usually you’ll just get short one word answers from him. only expresses himself verbally through short key points basically.

also has a severe stutter.

cannot find the right moments for when to speak either. constantly interrupts people or waits a whole ass minute in complete silence before replying.

he generally has a very hard time conveying anything he wants to express. people often do not understand him at all.

let’s get the elephant out of the room: he has 6 cha, he is absolutely awful. again no idea of social etiquettes so he will just say whatever comes into his head at the time you ask him a question. (‘zeke do you want to get ice cream with me’ ‘think i have bits of skin from that guy i bit earlier stuck between my teeth’)

this combined with his extremely mean attitude gives him that iconic 6 cha. he will say the rudest things directly to your face.

generally communicates more with noises akin to hisses or barks. makes a lot of those.

He Would Not Fucking Say That

not never but zeke’s instinctual choice of words will 99% be the truth or at least his perceived truth. he generally doesn’t make an effort to lie.

feel guilty about his kills. i just don’t think that he is capable of it. he is the urge, the instinct of the apex predator. do you think a wolf feels guilty when it kills the rabbit?

anything positive about gortash. he generally hates even speaking of him in any way, but you will not get a positive word out of him ever. sort of ties back into his ‘no lying’ thing a bit too because gortash is his antithesis and total terror to him.

not necessarily words, but genuinely feel things like love or just liking someone. he simply isn’t capable of that either.

one more thing that should be noted is that while generally not cannibalising his kills, people he is blood-related to are very much an exception to that behaviour. he has a strong instinctual desire to devour his siblings, again to prove himself as strong and not the runt of the litter so to speak. it’s sort of like why you eat your twin in the womb but obviously. not in the womb lol

(a lot of this is very different for gortash specifically of course though)

A Thread of Cool Superpowers That I Wanna Have But I Can't

I'll update whatever I found a new one

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

1. Mirror Manipulation (Vitrikinesis)

Source : a magic necklace that have a magic mirror as a liontin, her name is Alethea/Aletha

You could talk to her and no one could see her or hear your conversation without your consent

So, Alethea have a curse (or blessings) to make whoever could wear the magic necklace, would have a magic power

So you basically could use mirror (or anything that have a reflective surface) as a recorder. Like for example, if you're a detective and you have a case of murder in a room that have a mirror, you could touch them and made the mirror to show what the mirror "saw". Did you get it? No? Fine, just imagine the mirror have a camera and you can watch the recording anytime. But it has a limit, you can't hear a single sound. So it's a mute video

Repair mirror : you also could manipulate mirror even in smallest things, like repairing broken mirror. Some people would make you visit their house just to make you repairing their mirror.

Mirror dimension : this one isn't like "doctor-strange-mirror-dimension" kind, but "this-place-is-basically-earth-but-everything-is-mirrored" kind. If you can't imagine it, you can watch this episode of doraemon where they went to the mirror world.

You can make a mirror from air, like, a mirror magically appears. And you can shape the mirror into everything, like actual mirrors, swords, knifes, arrows, etc. And you can make them as much as you want, from one to infinity

Duplicate mirror : like the name suggests, you could duplicate any mirror or things that have reflective surface

Okay now I don't have any other ideas. I'll be back when I have new ideas

(Update) Teleportation : you can teleport from one place to another place through a mirror. But it has a limit. You must at least have seen or touched the mirror you're aiming for. And if that mirror was broken, you can't get through that, so you have to go back to your mirror

Invisibility (kinda) : you can make your self "invisible" by hiding yourself inside a mirror. No one could see you. But being inside a mirror can be uncomfortable, so the limit is your own durability

Mirror durability manipulation : you could make a mirror's durability to be stronger or more fragile

Mirror invisibility : you can make any mirror to be invisible

Also you can make basically ANYTHING from a mirror

Like if you want a dragon? Just snap your finger, and BOOM, a mirror dragon!

Or you need a place to hide? Just snap your finger and BOOM, a mirror bunker that stronger than your regular bunker AND could be invisible

2. Crystal Manipulation (Crystallokinesis) or Gemstone Manipulation (Lapidekinesis)

Source : either like a power blast from an ancient crystal or a constant power radiation from said crystal

Okay I really like this one I always wanna write like Peter Parker x Y/N with this power for Y/N but I'm LAZY

Wait I'm so fucking tired I'll take a quick nap and then continue this bYE

(Update) okay now i'm ready

Absorb crystal energy : if your magic power were like almost draining, you can absorb crystal energy and turn in into your magic power. And like, from any crystal! Not only the enchanted or magic one, but also the one that you buy from Amazon (as long as it's real crystal). Kinda like mana stone in other fantasy story

Crystallize thing : okay idk what's the right name of it but you could turn anything to a crystal, like, anything! Even if it's your shoes, your clothes, your burger from McDonald's, even your trash.

Crystallize power : OR you could crystallize your power! When there's no enemy attack and earth on it's peace, you can conjure a magic crystal then store them. It could be used as "mana stone" when you need them someday, or you could lend them to others when you're dying and can't help in the war so the could use your power then save the day!

Healing power : okay this is actually cool. Like, some people believes that certain crystal can heal thing. And it's absolutely right, your crystal could heal injuries to some extends. Maybe your crystal can't heal a terrible car crash injuries or bring back the dead, but it can heal a paper cut or a stab wound

Weapon : you could MAKE A DAGGER FROM A CRYSTAL. HAVE YOU SEEN A DAGGER MADE FROM A CRYSTAL??? NO??? THEN HERE IT IS. IT'S SO FUCKING STUNNING. OR THIS PICTURE OF CRYSTAL WEAPONS. SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. OR THIS FIRE OPAL BLADE. GORGEOUS.

Salt and sugar manipulation : did you know that SALT AND SUGAR ARE ALSO A CRYSTALS????? SALT MADE FROM A CRYSTALLIZED OCEAN WATER AND SUGAR MADE FROM A CRYSTALLIZED SUGARCANE WATER. OFC YOU COULD MADE THEM OUT OF NOWHERE. IMAGINE YOU RAN OUT OF SALT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, THEN YOU JUST MADE THIS MOTION AND SALT JUST MAGICALLY SPRINKLED FROM YOUR FINGERS

Sand manipulation : well, most common sand is composed of particles of gemstones. So you could actually control them

Pearl manipulation : pearl are organic gemstones!

3. Biological Manipulation (Biokinesis)

I actually don't know how to name this power... It's just came out of nowhere when I'm writing my biology essay lol

Okay so, source : mutation, I think? I can't think of any better solution :((

I know this power is seems weird but hear me out

Have you ever study biology in school? So basically, you could control and manipulate EVERYTHING you've ever study in biology

Like, cell manipulation : you could control cells inside someone's body. This could be both good and bad thing. Cause you could regenerate their cells, or manipulate said cells to be some cancer cells

Plant manipulation : it's biology, duh. Of course you can manipulate plants. You're hungry in the middle of nowhere? The nearest tree will lower it's body then giving you it's fruit. You're in the middle of a battle? Just do your thing then let the vines, the roots, the branches, etc to destroy the enemies

Virus manipulation : ohohoo, here's the villain part. So you could made a completely new virus, made it impossible to be cured, then planted it to someone. Soon, an epidemic will arise and nobody will safe, except you

Immortal : YES IF YOU CAN REGENERATE CELLS THEN YOU CAN MAKE YOUR BODY'S CELLS TO BE YOUNG FOREVER AND THUS YOU COULD BE AN IMMORTAL. PERIODT.

Life and death manipulation : you can literally conjure people from the dead—without making them to be like a zombie. BUT, this power have a limitation. Unless it's a new death (one or two hours after death), you can't bring them back. And you can also made people die without lay your hand on them. You just need to manipulate their cells to old cells, making them getting older and older in like one minute then die

Shapeshifting : change the structure of your face and boom! you became a different person. You can also control your growth sprouts(?) idk the name but you can like make yourself 2 inches taller then after that you can make yourself go back to your original height

Cells and organs communication : YOU COULD COMMUNICATE (LIKE, ACTUALLY TALKING) TO YOUR ORGANS AND CELLS!

(Update) conjure animal : you can make any animal as long as you've seen them, even if it's just a photo. Like, you can be in the battlefield and, BOOM, suddenly a T-Rex appears out of nowhere. Or when you're in the middle of nowhere and you're too tired to walk, you can do your thing then a horse ✨magically✨appear✨

Wait actually I have a cool headcanon(?) for the animal and plant part.

So, if you wanna made some animals or plants, you can made them by saying their Latin names! For example, you wanna ride a horse, so you have to said "Equus caballus" out loud (or even in your mind, but that's another level) and, voila! A healthy horse now appear in front of you!

AND HERE'S MY FAVORITE THING. THIS IDEA CAME OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN I WRITE MY BIOLOGY EXAM YESTERDAY

photosynthesis : you. totally. can. do. photosynthesis. YOU CAN TOTALLY DO PHOTOSYNTHESIS ISN'T THAT COOL?????!?!?? you just need some sunlight and some water tbh. and a little bit of carbon dioxide from your own breath. then you can wait for the photosynthesis process to start! the pros for this ability is that you totally don't need food because you could basically made your own food. The cons? you'll turn green when photosynthesize.

4. Every Disney Princesses's Power

this is silly i know

but imagine you could have every Disney princesses's power

source: y'know the magical flower from tangled? yeah, basically you accidentally eat the flower when you just a kid then the powers start developing (you are that kind of kid who eat everything that looks tasty, or just anything random cus you're ✨curious✨)

at first you only have like two power (rapunzel's). then you start developing more power when you fell into some kind of frozen river (ahtohalan or whatever the name of the river in frozen 2)

ok so your powers are:

healing (rapunzel) : basically you could heal people. the difference about your power and rapunzel's are, when rapunzel want to use her healing power, she had to sing then her hair started glowing. but when you wanna use your healing power, you did have to sing but like not verbal (?) idk how to describe it but basically you just sing the song in your head, then your hand started glowing and you could use your healing power

ice manipulation (elsa) : this is your second power. you could manipulate ice into everything; castle, clothes, some stuff, you name it. you can even made like animal from your power then they'll alive (kinda like olaf, but they were made from ice not snow)

weather manipulation (kinda elsa) : inspired by elsa's power that turn summer into winter, you could do that too! you basically could turn any season to winter and vice versa

communicate with animal / zoolingualism (basically almost every Disney Princess) : yes you could talk to any animal, of course you could. I mean, what kind of Disney Princess that couldn't talk to animal??

shapeshift (ariel, tiana, belle(?)) : you could shapeshift to another being, alive or not. like a mermaid, a frog, monsters, even like a cupboard.

ok i got lazy, I'll update this one day

update: okay i got a new CRAZY idea for this power's backstory

so basically every disney princess exist in this universe, but it was like thousand years ago so people basically think that they're just a story. especially about a magical flower from a single drop from a sunlight, sounds like it's not real at all, right?

but one day, someone went to the mountain in the exact same location from the og sun flower, trying to end their life. then a single drop from a sunlight fell once again. but now, the sun drop didn't hit the ground. the sun drop hit that person aka YOU, and give you the og flower's superpower. then from that point you have rapunzel's superpower and also other princesses superpowers

ok back to another superpower

talk to nature/nature's spirit (elsa, moana) : elsa can talk to the four spirits, right? so obviously you can talk to them too. and moana can talk to ocean's spirit

shamanism (pocahontas): from heroes wiki, it said that "Pocahontas' powers are linked to shamanism, as she shows ability to communicate with spirits, connect with nature, empathize with animals, and understand other languages."

teleportation (vanellope von schweetz) : vanellope's glitch was able to take her from one place to another

hair length changing (kinda rapunzel) : okay I have a cool head canon about your hair (inspired from marinette's hair that keep changing when she transform to another hero(?) idk I don't really watch her show). basically your hair length (and style) changes when you activate your power. the longer the hair (and the more complicated the style), the higher the power level that you activate

I was thinking back on that one post where I talked extendedly about a young player finding themselves in Nevada. And although they wouldn't want to bring attention to themselves and this concept would probably fit another character better I still thought it was neat.

So you know how there's hotkeys in games to help the player make instant commands, and the player in this scenario can't make a command without saying a certain phrase out loud where everyone can hear. What if, knowing that, they made their own hotkey that's an overseer of their surroundings, reacting accordingly to any danger that might rear its ugly head when the player isn't aware or paying attention. Creating a brand new key stone, albeit much smaller than the halo. Like this picture that I was inspired by https://www.tumblr.com/fluffymintz/720867072506314752/sixpenceee-16th-century-ring-that-unfolds-into. Each ring corresponds to a command ready to go if there is a potential threat, like “god_mode”, “stop_time” or “teleport”. Anything that could help the player and simultaneously not be a detriment to the grunts surrounding them. Because if the ring were to respond to the players growing anxiety instead of the people around them and one of the commands was “kill_all” then that would only cause more problems, and anxiety.

Though if the player were to make it into a halo then I can imagine the multiple rings shifting and moving when it's in use, like an end crystal.

The way the player knows that one of the commands has been activated is through changes only they can feel or see. For god mode i headcanons that when it's activated not only do they lose the ability to feel pain and become invincible but they lose the sense of touch, smell and taste. While freezing time is more visually apparent when it's on, their vision turns slightly darker and grainy but not by much, another indicator that time has stopped is, well, the non moving people, cars etc. And teleporting is very obvious, it activates when the player falls from a great height.

Another piece of equipment that I thought would be interesting for the player to have is something akin to an encyclopedia. Except instead of it already having every known knowledge written down the player has to actively seek out the object of interest and scan it, like that one device in thaumcraft, the thaumometer. Id imagen that it can be folded into a smaller more portable form, perhaps it could be disguised as an armband. Much like the thaumometer it has gems (or whatever you want them to be) decorating its edges, they serve a purpose. If the player were to just point the thing at something or someone without one of the colorful rocks pointing upwards they would get basic information about the object. For example, height, age or if it was an item, date of its creation and how much durability is left. But if one of the things were pointing upwards then they would get more specific information about one topic. Haven't really thought about all of them but here's a few.

Red: Reveals how many this person has killed or injured, how many times they have potentially died or still carry injuries that haven't healed. With objects it's more about how dangerous they are, how strong you need to be to carry them etc.

Green: Shows a person's family tree and relations with others. Though objects aren't made the same way grunts are, they still were made or were shaped overtime, so instead of a family tree there's a timeline from its creation to now.

Blue: Reveals the person's self and what they believe in, their personality, goals, what they fight for or don't, their core elements. While for objects this shows why they were made, with what intent and purpose.

Yellow: I'm still debating about this one but I think it would be neat if it showed how a thing could hurt the player or affect them positively, or what this person's intentions are with the player.

There are two left which I can't for the life of me figure out the use of, so if you have any ideas then go right ahead, if not then thanks for reading this anyhow.

I actually really LOVE this idea! I get Magiturge vibes from this pile of informatione` and I am HERE for it! Let the Player be a mage or magical! As for them having a bestiary, I think it would be awesome and amazing! I like to visualize that the book is primarily made of blank pages, but it has sections that need to be filled in. Once the entity is encountered, the pages of the book slowly begin to fill up. There would be sections of the book dedicated to information about the entities and what catagory they fit under. Like grunt, undead, mutant, MAG, employers, or "unknown entities". The more they fight them, the better and more detailed the book entries becomes. I'm also imagining them having magical-like items that inspire their powers and behaves like multiple conduits for their code-manipulating abilities. You can also broaden this idea with summons and magical trinkets that are associated with the Player's world. Like the zodiacs or star maps of our reality. Imagine that. Player that's a fucking beast of a mage. Amazing!

BOWSER VS FRIEZA (Super Mario Bros VS Dragon Ball) Fan Made Death Battle

Now I know, before you say anything let me explain. First of all to me this is a decent matchup but I'll admit both have better opponents, Bowser obviosly has Dr.Eggman whitch is my most wanted matchup, while Frieza has Pyron(Darkstalkers) and Unicron Trilogy Megatron. As for why I'm doing this? Well it's because I really like both characters and this marchup is one of those where more it meets the eye, basiclly means both a lot more in common and it's also debatable, so let's do this.

Connections:

-Both are tyrannical rulers

-There egotistical and evil

-Both hate there arch rival how's a optimistic hero how wears blue as a secondery colour (Goku and Mario respecticaly)

-They want to conquere (Frieza wants to conquere the universe/ and Bowser wants to conquere the mushroom kingdom)

-Both have multiple forms with one giving them a black colouration (Frieza has his seprest, forms and golden, while Bowser has his giant forms, Meowser, Dreamy Bowser and finally theres Fury Bowser and Black Frieza)

Now that we got the connections out of the way, let's talk about how would win by going each category.

Strenght: Frieza

Now yea Bowser is pretty strong, but Frieza matches or even surpasses Goku's strenght how in the beggining shucked the entire universe whitch in cludes the afterlife and the kaioshin realm, and the Dragon Ball universe is over 1.505 bigger than our universe

And that's from the begging Goku got leags stronger and with Frieza matching that kind of strenght and surpassing it, yeah sorry but Frieza takes it.

Speed: Frieza

Yeah it's not even close Frieza is easily faster due to being MFTL+.

Durability: Frieza

Even though Bowser survived to the point he can still fight as a skeleton and survived a supernova Frieza's more durable due to surviving the hakai and being cut in half and also taiking a planet exploding.

Intelligence: Frieza

Yeah I don't even have to explain why Frieza is smarter.

Experince: Bowser

Even though Frieza is older he didn't fight until Namek and after his revival and T.O.P. and after that whitch even thoguh it was impressive, but Bowser fought longer and had multiple adventures foghting the Mario Bros and other villains like Fawful.

Abilities and Hax: Bowser

Even though Frieza's attacks are powerful, deadly and some of them are useful like telephaty and ki barriers, Bowser a lot more and there also pretty useful, for example he can teleport, transmutation, etc.

Weapons: Bowser

Bowser has a lot of gadgets and weapons, like his shell, the koopa clown car, etc.

Now we reached the final category Power:

Now let's go over there most powerful forms Dreamy Bowser and Black Frieza.

Now at first glance it seems like Dreamy Bowser wins because he can wish for anything, but he only used his wish powers to summon enemies and heal him self and more importantly his level of power, you see while you can make the case Dreamy Bowser is multiversal due to absorbing the dream stone.

However Frieza fought characters how are multiversal and surpassed them, being Goku and Vegeta how he one shoted and offcorse Jiren how was able to shacke the world of void whitch is space of infinite nothingless, because of those reasons Frieza takes it.

With all that sead the winner is Frieza. Now this fight could go eather way and it was somewhat of a close match, but in the end with Frieza's superior strenght, speed, durability, power and being smarter ultimatle gave him the win.

Trivia:

The fight would be 2D with hand drawn seagments, while 3D could work, 2D is better.

The track would a rock track referencing there themes and would have lyrics talking about there power and that no one should mess with them, and the track would be called Emperors Fury (referencing Frieza's title as EMPEROR and Bowser form called FURY Bowser)

INEBREATED QUESTION TIME: I noticed a lot of your OCs have the jaw thing going on. Is that motif something that is in your cyborg lore or simply something uniting Raj's crew? Either way I love it but I'm always curious if it's lore based or more stylistically chosen. Thanks!

*cracks knuckles* First of all, thank you very much, I adore questions like this!

So within Raj's world, it's a little different from the standard cyberpunk world in the way you see a lot more people with more cyberware. Rather than like, just their hands and eyes, you may also see some more hardcore modifications like having their whole goddamn neck missing (sometimes including the jaw). Others have their torso missing and have it connected with cyberware, just as an example.

Another thing is that in this world a lot of these hardcore (the neck + torso, vs just hands or lines on the skin) cybernetics aren't necessarily from everyday injuries, they're often from sickness that one could not recover from and they had to have it removed from their body. For example, having bone loss in one's jaw to the degree where you have to have it replaced.

The jaw piece is not necessarily for aesthetic purposes, as it often joins the human fleshy bits to the metallic cybernetic bits. But it doesn't have to!

In Raj's case specifically, it's actually just an accessory - it doesn't protect his face as he can't make himself more durable by 'hardening' his body, it does not have that ability as its just always very durable. The jaw is just kinda ... something he used his limited shapeshifting ability to conjure up to look cool, lmao. Quick aside as I know this is long but it's kinda fun to talk about - Raj is actually a full cyborg in the way that the only thing remaining from him is his brain. The muscles and skin on his face are a high tech replica of what it used to look like as putting the absurd cyberware and attaching it to a human head would break your noggin. His brain is enveloped in a heat shielded 'cradle,' which is organic and self-healing like the rest of his body.

With regards to the other characters, they're in the second category where the jaw is part of their face/cybernetic prosthetics and they can't just 'take it off' like Raj can. Any character could have a cyber jaw! It all just depends on their backstory.

Sadly, a lot of Edgerunners become this because they had medical debt they could not afford to pay off with a "real job-" if not for a family member, then for themselves. Although this specific scenario isn't going to happen to a person with just a cyber jaw; you're looking at a full body replacement here, just as an example (hint hint Raj).

The really short answer is: cyborgs are really cool and cyber jaws often have lots of greebles. As an artist who loves greebles, cyber jaws are my weakness and I keep adding them to characters lol

13. How do they deal with pain (physical or emotional)?

OC Ask Meme

Korrinth drank the demonic Kool-Aid, and as such been granted supernatural durability and regeneration. Granted, I write her corruption as minimal and as a result her durability and other talents are to a lesser degree then some of her more corrupted kin. Still, her constitution is nothing to sneeze at, as she’s confident and capable enough to go toe-to-toe with demons in little to no armor. Her skin alone is more or less as resistant as demon hide, or that’s a nice base point I like to reference.

That being said, coupled with her toughness is an unnatural regeneration that heals her quickly. She’s been known to continue fighting even after suffering what would be mortal wounds, albeit her effectiveness comes into question. Wounds that are particularly grievous generally only take a few days of bed rest (or an influx of demon soul essence) to fully recover. For example, on the Siege of the Broken Shore she was impaled through the midsection and still continued to fight- as there was an ample amount of demonic soul essence basically everywhere- however she did eventually collapse due to exhaustion proving that she does still need recovery time even if healing options are available.

Basically these two things coupled together make her pretty adverse to pain. She’s able to shrug it off effectively because she knows it will not last very long. And on top of that her pain tolerance is quite high due to her formative time as an Illidari and that demonic enhancement they’re known for.

Long story short; she can take a beating pretty well. Maybe not to the awe inspiring levels of a vengeance written demon hunter(Cough @caedun cough), but she holds her own well enough.

Now emotionally is a different story. Not only is she highly susceptible to emotional pain/damage, she often inflicts it on herself with no small amount of help from her inner voices and own sense of self pity. She’s quick to anger, and often takes the role of the victim in her mind- to varying degrees of accuracy, which often cause her to lash out or to perceive grievence where there is none, or even to over-blow it. She’s immensely sensitive, even if she puts on a very hard exterior and often adopts the stance of ‘hurt them before they hurt you’. This more often then not leads to more emotional stress.

While she does seem to be aware of her own emotional and mental shortcomings, she does very little to actually work passed them. Rather just accepts them as a price she has paid for her own sins. Though, she does actively take steps in curbing her relationships and who she gets close to (if anyone) for that very reason. In short; she knows she’s a hot mess, and is not willing to work on it. Her solution has been to avoid emotional entanglements and stew in her own self-pity about it.

Thanks @nixalegos !

The Precision Craftsmanship of Surgical Instruments: Tools That Heal

Introduction

In the world of modern medicine, the art of surgery relies heavily on the precision and efficacy of surgical instruments. These remarkable tools, crafted with painstaking attention to detail, play a crucial role in the hands of skilled surgeons. They are the silent heroes in the operating room, helping to save lives and improve the quality of life for countless patients worldwide. In this article, we will delve into the fascinating world of surgical instruments, exploring their history, types, materials, and the importance of their design and maintenance.

A Brief History

The history of surgical instruments dates back thousands of years. Early examples of rudimentary surgical tools have been found in archaeological digs from ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome. These early instruments were often made of materials like bronze and iron and were limited in their functionality.

It wasn't until the Renaissance that surgical instruments began to evolve into more specialized and effective tools. The works of pioneering surgeons like Ambroise Paré and Andreas Vesalius paved the way for the development of instruments tailored to specific surgical procedures. The Industrial Revolution further accelerated the production of surgical instruments, with advancements in metallurgy and manufacturing techniques.

Types of Surgical Instruments

Surgical instruments are incredibly diverse, designed to serve a wide range of medical needs. They can be broadly categorized into several groups:

Cutting and Dissecting Instruments: These instruments are used to cut through tissues, such as scalpels, scissors, and dissectors. Scalpels, in particular, come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different surgical tasks.

Grasping and Holding Instruments: Forceps and clamps fall into this category, allowing surgeons to grasp and manipulate tissues, sutures, or other objects within the surgical field.

Hemostatic Instruments: Hemostasis is the control of bleeding during surgery. Instruments like hemostatic forceps and clamps help clamp blood vessels and prevent excessive bleeding.

Retractors: Retractors are used to hold tissues or organs aside, providing better visibility and access to the surgical area. Common retractors include wound retractors and self-retaining retractors.

Suturing and Stapling Instruments: These tools are essential for closing incisions or wounds. They include needle holders, suture scissors, and skin staplers.

Materials and Manufacturing

The materials used in surgical instrument production have evolved significantly over time. Stainless steel, due to its corrosion resistance and strength, is the most common material in modern surgical instruments. Some specialized instruments, such as those used in minimally invasive surgeries, are made from materials like titanium and carbon fiber, which offer unique advantages like reduced weight and enhanced durability.

Crafting surgical instruments is a meticulous process that demands precision and attention to detail. Manufacturers utilize advanced techniques such as CNC machining, laser cutting, and electro-polishing to ensure the instruments are of the highest quality. These instruments must meet strict regulatory standards to ensure patient safety and maintain their sterile condition.

Design and Ergonomics

Surgical instruments are designed with the utmost care to enhance the surgeon's performance. Ergonomics play a significant role in their design, as they must be comfortable to use for long periods. Grips, handles, and the arrangement of controls are carefully considered to minimize hand fatigue and improve maneuverability.

Maintenance and Sterilization

Proper maintenance and sterilization are paramount to the functionality and safety of surgical instruments. They undergo rigorous cleaning and sterilization processes to ensure they are free from contaminants and pathogens. Many instruments are designed for repeated use after thorough sterilization.

Conclusion

Surgical instruments are marvels of modern engineering and craftsmanship. Their evolution from basic tools to highly specialized, precision instruments has revolutionized the field of medicine. Surgeons rely on these instruments every day to perform life-saving procedures and improve the quality of life for patients around the world. As technology continues to advance, we can expect further innovations in the design and manufacturing of surgical instruments, enhancing their effectiveness and improving patient outcomes.

[mythvoiced]

-. Bonjour~ below the cut another messy character post before I dive into finally completing all intro posts because I can't be made to fill out a proper about page at the moment, please forgive me flhkgfhlg~

the doomed;wolfwood

name. Nicholas D. Wolfwood (according to Nightow, the D stands for a fuckload of things ranging from Dangerous to Dokonokuminomonjawaresumakinishiteshizumetarokakora, he's insane) gender. male (I'm debating--) pronouns. he/him age. -big sigh- Trimax: 30s/40s (physically), early 20s (actually); Trigun 98: 30s; Tristamp: 20s/30s (physically), probably??? much older????? IDK?????? (actually); Badlands Rumble: don't, let's not even-- orientation. terminally bisexual

faceclaim. Nicholas D. Wolfwood from Trigun/Trigun Maximum/Trigun '98/Trigun Stampede; Badlands Rumble is excluded because 1. ?? 2. the whitewashing of this film is criminal; primarily Tristamp Nicholas unless specified otherwise, because-

-The primary iteration you will find featured on this humble blorbo blog of mine is the Tristamp version because that is the one currently most popular and most likely to have a demand, I will be shoehorning things from Trimax into him as I see fit, in particular if handling post Tristamp timeskip Wolfwood, and maybe I'm just gonna turn this man into an insane amalgamation of all various takes on him.

Nicholas D. Wolfwood is a child soldier. First and foremost. For those unfamiliar with Trigun, it's a Western Sci-Fi show (underSTATEM-) where humanity had attempted, a truckload of hundred years prior to the present timeline, to shoot itself into various corners of the universe after effectively Killing Earth to try and settle on another planet hospitable enough to harbour them. Everything goes to shit for one fleet of spaceships when they crash and burn onto this desert planet with two suns and five moons and no natural resources humanity needed to survive and thrive. To accomodate for the lack of water, for example, humanity makes use of these man-made organic beings called 'Plants', self-sufficient sometimes humanoid appearing entities that can produce and produce and produce, whatever it is humanity may need. What humanity did not know, until much later, was that the Plants are more than just... personal batteries, they're sentient, hive-minded creatures who should be treated with the basic respect you'd forward to living beings. Without going any further into the lore, Nicholas is dragged into the moral questions of Humans & Plants & Co-existing & Slavery and whatnot by being quite literally adopted into it (in Trimax it looks like a legit adoption until he gets to the place). The Eye of Michael, a cult of plant worshippers who trains and redesigns children from orphanages they claim no one will miss (Nicholas, included) into superhuman killing machines with enhanced strength, speed, durability, you name it, and healing abilities further augmented by this lil drug they're equipped with that they can gulp to help themselves heal even faster.

Nicholas is dependent on these drugs to heal in Tristamp, where the show made a point to differentiate Livio's ability to heal without the need of drugs; in Trimax, it's more implied that every child soldier/assassin from the Eye of Michael has regenerative abilities and the drugs augment them further or are used when the abilities can't catch up with the amount of damage taken, they're boosters. This is relevant to my portrayal only because I might occasionally have him get away with a few scratches or hits to allow for a thread to flow a certain way and not have to explain where the hell he keeps all those damned flasks.

Important to note, though, is that a drug is a drug. That shit will kill him if he overdoes it. I'll be honest, he throws that stuff back in Tristamp that it made me wonder whether it can kill him in this iteration, maybe I missed something, but know I for one am biting down on this fact and will not let go.

So, he was raised in this orphanage and then dropped off at the Eye of Michael, Tristamp implies the orphanage belongs to the Eye, so it's less an adoption thing and more a being picked out as the fattest among a flock of chicken. He's instantly tortured, deformed, reshaped and refitted into this sturdy hitman the Eye can use to further they're Plant-worshipping related missions, as well as simply to get some cash by selling his (and other EoM assassins') services to others. The drug, the modifications, everything done to him has forced him to age faster physically, which, fun fact, is source of heated ship debates in the fandom because it's used to portray Wolfwood as a minor to keep him out of whatever ship you don't fuck with. Important for me to mention, because Wolfwood is an adult. Especially in Tristamp, where some hints suggest he's been around for much longer, sort of implying he might be older than his body's age, which might have just... stopped aging at one point, considering Tristamp has the Eye use Plants to torture their kids into what Nicoholas now is.

SO, yeah, the age debate is a mess.

For most of the canon of the show, Nicholas (referred to as Nicholas the Punisher as assassin of the Eye of Michael, in typical Gung-Ho-Guns/Nightow naming fashion lmao) is hired as a guide to the main character, Vash the Stampede, by both the Eye and perhaps directly by the main antagonist, Millions Knives (Vash's twin brother), to escort Vash to the city of July unharmed and to actually make sure he's headed for it... or the city JuLai, if y'd rather~ though... the 7 cities are actually named after months (December, Augusta, May, Octovern, Juneora Rock, April), so, I'm used to 'July', though let me know if that throws you off, I fuck with JuLai just as hard~

Obviously being directly exposed to Vash the fucking Stampede, a person/being so violently pacifistic he'd rather see himself decimated ten times over than ever shoot back, does something to the worldview and the confidence in that worldview of a man who'd given up on himself and the idea of salvation, both spiritual and physical in nature. Wolfwood effectively settled himself into the monster's shoes fitted for him, this is why he looks so fucked up in Tristamp, his lack of interest towards his own appearance, himself as a whole, the suicidal thoughts/ideation bubbling always below the surface (his speech about Rollo after killing him? the implications he was talking about himself?), my boy is not having a good time, ever.

Wolfwood is an oldest brother, deeply frustrated and depressed, has canonical (Trimax) nightmares of going back to the orphanage but not being allowed to touch the children, hold them, because of the blood he can't get off his hands, he's a Judas, he's the narrative's martyr, he's too big of a coward to walk away from it all, he's too tired to fight for himself, he's tired, angry, and just wants to be stopped.

He's my fucking blorbo.

And yes, his cigarettes are always crumpled. This makes more sense in those iterations where he shoves them into a fold in his shirt instead of carrying an actual pack around, but it's funny as fuck nonetheless. He's got that Kansai accent situation and cusses like... well, like the type of character he is, and it may look silly that he's always wearing those damned sunglasses, but consider the following: No Man's Land (Gunsmoke, though this name is inaccurate/non-canonical, some have adopted it as an alternative anyway) is a desert planet with no natural water resources and two suns, there are no clouds and no rain, the sunglasses are a necessity.

[purplekoop]

My laptop is still out of commission for... who knows how long, but I had to borrow my younger sibling's laptop for DnD last night, and they graciously let me use it after I needed it, so I FINALLY had a chance to get back into my War Bots notes to make some long-overdue edits like the Harmony overhaul and some changes to streamline Yanno's kit, along with any other changes I could remember to add in. I was seriously up until like 4 AM just doing edits to the doc, that's how much I love working on it.

Those two specific main examples though actually bring up an interesting point. I've designed every character to have a set of 4 standard abilities: weapon primary fire and secondary fire, a body ability, and their accessory. Sometimes passives and special inputs add to this baseline count, but very rarely does anyone dip below it. Yanno is the first exception, as he has a primary fire (rocket launch), a secondary fire (a forward boost using his launcher that's on a cooldown), and an accessory (flaming mortar shot). His body equipment slot is just his passive, a pair of boots which boosts his air speed and control after being launched (original, I know). He used to have a forward point-blank blast similar to his boost ability, which was simply an attack that launches enemies. This felt clunky and unnecessary, not to mention redundant with Harmony's new weapon, so now he only has the three active abilities.

Speaking of Harmony though, she's in a weird spot where she only has 3 abilities and I don't know how to feel about it. She has her basic shotgun-ish Amp Cannon as her weapon, her team-defending Guardian Field as her body ability, and her projectile-deleting Null Pulse as *either* her weapon's secondary fire or her accessory slot. Both make just about as much sense, but the issue is what to put in the empty slot, if anything. Harmony is already defensively solid, she has self heal from her weapon, null pulse to delete projectiles in advance, and guardian field to tank damage directly away from her teammates. She's meant to be the most durable character in the cast, a frontline who can tank, heal off, or deny heavy damage while being capable of slow but solid close-range damage of her own. I don't think giving her mobility is a great fit, since having such a sturdy character flying across the map could be... an issue. I think the best niche a final part in her kit could fill is some sort of ranged attack, not as efficient of DPS but letting her pressure with damage from outside the fixed primary fire range, though the tricky thing is that in theory Null Wave could technically work as that in addition to its main purpose. She could also shoot two different kinds of ranged sound blasts, one that is only an attack and one that only absorbs attacks, but that feels potentially awkward and confusing to new players. I dunno, it's an awkward spot where my best ideas are giving her a ranged shot and leaving null wave as strictly defensive, or making null wave also an attack and leaving Harmony without an alt fire.

Either way I'm glad to have some progress jotted down in my notes again at long last. The computer situation may be getting worse before it gets better, but at least I managed to do this much.

Restoring Digestive Health: Insights into the Gastrointestinal Stent Market

The gastrointestinal system plays a pivotal role in our overall health and well-being, responsible for the digestion and absorption of nutrients essential for bodily functions. However, conditions such as gastrointestinal cancers, strictures, and obstructions can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to discomfort, pain, and complications. In such cases, gastrointestinal stents have emerged as vital medical devices, offering a minimally invasive solution to restore digestive health and alleviate symptoms. In this article, we explore the significance, trends, and impact of gastrointestinal stents in modern healthcare.

Gastrointestinal stents are specialized medical implants designed to open blocked or narrowed sections of the gastrointestinal tract, allowing for the passage of food, fluids, and bodily waste. These flexible, tubular devices are typically made from biocompatible materials such as nitinol, stainless steel, or silicone, and come in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different anatomical structures and conditions.

One of the primary applications of gastrointestinal stents is in the management of gastrointestinal cancers, including esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancers. In patients with malignant strictures or obstructions, gastrointestinal stents provide immediate relief by restoring the patency of the affected area, relieving symptoms such as dysphagia, nausea, and vomiting, and improving quality of life. Moreover, stent placement can serve as a palliative measure to alleviate symptoms in patients with advanced or inoperable tumors, enabling them to eat and drink more comfortably and maintain nutritional intake.

In addition to cancer management, gastrointestinal stents are also used in the treatment of benign conditions such as strictures, fistulas, and leaks, as well as in the management of complications following gastrointestinal surgeries. In cases of benign strictures or strictures related to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), stent placement can help alleviate symptoms and avoid the need for repeat surgeries. Similarly, in patients with gastrointestinal fistulas or leaks, stents can provide a temporary barrier to facilitate healing and prevent further complications.

Technological advancements and innovations in gastrointestinal stent design and delivery techniques have significantly improved patient outcomes and expanded the scope of gastrointestinal interventions. The development of self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) and covered stents, for example, has enhanced stent durability, flexibility, and biocompatibility, reducing the risk of migration, perforation, and tissue ingrowth. Moreover, the advent of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided stent placement and fluoroscopic-guided stent deployment has enabled precise positioning and improved procedural success rates, minimizing complications and optimizing clinical outcomes.

Furthermore, the growing prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders, the aging population, and the increasing adoption of minimally invasive endoscopic procedures have fueled demand for gastrointestinal stents worldwide. According to recent studies, the global gastrointestinal stent market is projected to experience steady growth in the coming years, driven by advancements in stent technology, increasing awareness among healthcare providers, and rising patient demand for less invasive treatment options.

In conclusion, gastrointestinal stents have revolutionized the management of a wide range of gastrointestinal conditions, offering patients a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical interventions. With ongoing technological advancements, expanding indications, and growing adoption in clinical practice, gastrointestinal stents are poised to play an increasingly important role in restoring digestive health and improving quality of life for patients worldwide. As healthcare providers continue to embrace innovation and evidence-based practices, the future of gastrointestinal stent therapy looks promising, with potential for further advancements in patient care and clinical outcomes.

How PPF From Alta Mere in Plano Benefits Your Car

How PPF From Alta Mere in Plano Benefits Your Car

PPF is a protective film that acts as your car’s bodyguard. It prevents rock chips and road debris from damaging your car’s paint while protecting the underlying surface. It also protects your paint from the cost of a repaint. There are a number of benefits to investing in ppf.

1. It protects your paint

Your vehicle is a major investment and it’s important to keep it looking great for as long as possible. Paint protection film (PPF) protects

against everything from dents, scratches, oxidation and UV damage. It’s a clear, thick thermoplastic urethane that covers your car’s painted surfaces. This is a much more durable product than vinyl wraps and ceramic coatings. There are a few different kinds of PPF on the market, each with its own unique set of features. For example, some products are designed to self-heal when light scratches or scuffs appear. This feature is thanks to the elastomeric polymer that’s in the top layer of the film. Other brands use a tack solution that helps the PPF adhere to a painted surface before installing it. This helps reduce waste and saves the installer time. It also improves adhesion around complicated details and around edges where the PPF is trimmed. During installation, the PPF is carefully cut to fit your specific vehicle. It’s then bonded to the paint using an adhesive that is activated by heat. It’s crucial to choose a reputable company with experienced technicians to ensure the quality of your PPF and its installation. They should be able to answer any questions or concerns you have about the process.

2. It saves you money in the long run

Paint protection film offers a barrier between environmental hazards and your car’s delicate bodywork. This helps protect the paint from abrasive materials and other damage that may cost you a lot in repairs. It also minimizes UV rays that cause the paint to fade over time, increasing your car’s resale value. Another way it saves you money is by preventing costly scratches and chips. The smooth finish of paint protection film makes it easier to clean and polish your car, which reduces the need for waxing and other expensive maintenance.

3. It’s easy to update

The key to getting the most longevity out of your PPF is to choose a quality product and work with an experienced shop. The best PPF products are backed by lengthy warranties and have UV inhibitors to resist breakdown from sunlight. Additionally, the best products are designed with high adhesion to allow easy peeling down the road if necessary. The other important factor is that the work environment should be clean and dust free. It’s hard to achieve perfect PPF installation in a garage or a non-enclosed shop without a space-age filtration system. Dust will be magnified under the clear film, and it’s a good idea to spend some extra money to get pre-existing scratches and swirl marks knocked out before PPF is applied. For the shops that don’t have oodles of cash to drop on a plotter, cutting PPF is a laborious task of measuring and shaving off any unneeded overhangs. It’s also not as forgiving as vinyl wrap when it comes to a curve or other shape. The easiest way to avoid these issues is to choose a company that can pre-cut the film to programmed sizes. This eliminates the need for a shit ton of measurement and trimming, and it’s much easier on the installer. Read the full article
