I honestly find it so sad that none of the adaptations get Cloud Recesses Wei Wuxian just right. Like there's so much set up to what sort of person he is and how he's treated by society. There's also so much deliberation in everything he does, which fails to come across in the shows. Everything he does, he does knowing why he's doing it, he also knows what the reaction would be. And usually he's proven right...Except when it comes to Lwj, when he chooses to take the punishment alongside Wwx (which is also fundamental to their relationship). But we don't get to see that wwx on the screen. The one that has great insight. Or the one that's aware of what people think about him. Or the one who punches Jzx first because he knows it wouldn't be as bad if came from him. It's sad that this Wwx never got to be seen.

The task I wanted to do:

- task 1: Visualize the fourth dedekind number

What I needed to do in order to do task 1:

- task 1.1: Draw a hypercube and

- task 1.2: then give each of the 16 vertices a name - which is the 16 different "cells" (I dunno which word to use, sorry) of a venn diagram with 4 overlapping sets plus a circle around that 4-venn diagram.

- - -- ---

//additional info: For the 3rd dedekind number visualization I already posted I needed to use 20 cubes. Each of the 8 vertices of a cube was related to 3 sets - A, B and C - and the intersections of these sets. (AB, AC, BC, ABC)

You remember this post:

... and these details:

...and now back to the 4th dedekind number, which follows the same principle, - but in 4 dimensions.

- So we need a hypercube - and a 4th set/letter:

Now we have 4 letters - alias 4 sets

- and 11 combinations of these sets:

AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD, (6)

ABC, ABD, ACD, BCD, (4)

ABCD (1)

=> 11 different intersections + 4 "pure" sets. (sorry for ignorant wording)

So, we have 15 of these now. What is with the 16th (as the hypercube has 16 vertices)? Yeah, that one is the circle you imagine around the 4-set venn diagram.

- - -- ---

This is a 4-set venn diagramm btw:

--- -- - -

So, back to me attempting to do the 4th dedekind-number visualization:

So I started to draw that venn diagram using ellipses, but I slightly altered it, because I wanted to use my isometric grid paper. (The angles of my drawing are different than in the picture depicted above.)

I started to draw the 4 ellipses, and I somehow started to see two intertwined/interlocked tubes due to the additional helplines I used for drawing.

Then I started to use my thicker black pen to make this effect of these two interlocked tubes more visible:

Now I plan to write the sets/letters at the backside of that piece of paper - in mirrored, so I can hold this piece of paper (with the tube drawing in front) against the light - and see the letters of the set names shining through.

i might also add some details to the tubes.

@mattybax​​ I was gonna tack this on as a reblog to the post, but I think having it separately makes more sense.

That’s a really interesting question, and I will answer it, but let me give a bit of background information first.

In math, whenever we are given a statement, we want to do one of two things: either prove it’s true, or prove that it’s false. You’ll be asked things like “prove or disprove the square root of 2 is irrational” or “if m is an even number, prove or disprove that m squared is even as well”.

For the sake of this post, I’m only going to talk about disproving statements, and specifically about proofs by contradiction.

A proof by contradiction is basically what it says on the tin. You can disprove a statement by proving the existence of something that contradicts that statement.

I’ll give an example so you know what I’m talking about:

Let’s say I ask you to prove or disprove the following statement: “All humans have a head. Therefore, if something has a head, it must be a human.”

This is obviously false, because lots of things have heads that are not human. All you’d have to do in this case is show me a picture of a cat and say “look, this has a head and isn’t a human, so therefore, your statement is false.”

Pretty simple, right? So let’s look back to Laplace’s demon, and why it broke down.

Laplace says:

“An intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes.”

What I bolded is the heart of what makes the Laplace demon work. Something that knows everything. If we think back to proofs by contradiction, and if we wanted to disprove it, what would the contradiction be? What would cause the Laplace mail to break down?

If it didn’t know everything.

Naoya intended for Kazuya and the others to use the Laplace emails as a guide to their actions, so we can assume that people using its own predictions was already accounted for in the program.

The thing is, the program can only predict one outcome.

Sure, the program can predict that Kazuya would find the Devil’s Fuge and use that to fight Beldr. But Beldr is one hell of a demon (and that’s reinforced through how tough his fight is from a gameplay perspective). What are the odds that Kazuya would survive? It had to place its bets on something, it’s still far more likely that Beldr would kill Kazuya even if he had the Devil’s Fuge. let’s be honest, how many times have we died to that boss fight? i don’t blame the system for betting against me

But Kazuya beat the odds and defeated Beldr anyway, introducing a contradiction into the Laplace mail’s system. And this wasn’t a one time thing. Kazuya was constantly throwing in contradictions. Midori wasn’t murdered. Over 50 people were saved in Toyoshima-ku Ikebukuro. Throughout the entire week, Kazuya was disproving the assumption that the Laplace mail is all-knowing.

As early as the second day (the first time you get the Laplace mail after changing your death clock, ie. the first time you get the Laplace mail after introducting a contradiction), you already see that it’s caused a strain on the program

Not horribly noticeable, but the font is definitely wonky.

We all know that the program breaks down considerably more over each day, and the reason is that Kazuya keeps introducing contradictions as the week goes on. 

The first time that Kazuya proved that the Laplace mail isn’t all knowing, that was fine. Naoya knew that would happen, so he made sure that the program continues as if nothing happened. There may be a few contradictions in the system now, but Naoya can paper over that smoothly enough, just enough to guide Kazuya through the week.

But Kazuya continues to disprove the underlying theorem the Laplace mail relies on every single day (as Naoya expected, but that’s for a different post).

After it’s been disproved so many times, it simply can’t work anymore. It’s now an unequivocal fact that the Laplace mail isn’t all knowing. It’s riddled with more holes than a block of swiss cheese. That thing is dead. The Laplace mail ran on the assumption that its program was all-knowing, but that’s just not the case anymore. Kazuya has disproved it one too many times, and it just breaks down entirely:

tldr: Yes, the Laplace mail would have considered the use of its own predictions into its predictions, but because it had to choose a single outcome, it just chose the more likely of the two outcomes. Kazuya had to fight like hell to change those outcomes, but he did, and doing so repeatedly was what killed off the Laplace mail.

I hope this answers your question!!  ｡ﾟ( ﾟ^∀^ﾟ)ﾟ｡

[positivelyapunovexponent-good]

I had a dream last night that someone walked up to me and said to my face, in a VERY accusatory tone, “you know, for a math tumblr you sure reblog a lot of shitposts and not a lot of math.” And then I woke up in an irrationally intense cold sweat.

I’ve been having a lot of unpleasant dreams these past few weeks, but I think this one by far takes the cake for most... unsettlingly realistic?  

#for the record I have no pretensions of this being a math tumblr this is a shitpost stew with math seasoning #it's rather well summed up by the fact that my most popular post by far is... a shitpost about math #this very fear is the reason I have not responded to the mathblr rollcall post going around despite multiple people sending it to me #that said. I have been toying with the idea of starting an ACTUALLY mathy math sideblog #math CONTENT? Math content with SUBSTANCE??? Perhaps more likely than you think #you know what.

unrelatedly.... Refreshing pickled ginger palette cleanser bc as Ive said Lev uses my english and habits for writing a lot of the time (and im heavily influenced by him lately), and lately ive been like "ugh god i dont know if im just not getting him across..." no lmfao, looking at how Hermes speaks in that last piece YEAH NO IM NOT CRAZY

#if I sit and watch lev which. i dont usually do when hes in my body bc it interrupts the brain sync shit. ive seen him a couple times #or more than a couple like hehe let me have fun with how you write bc its (autistic lbr) #i THINK you can still tell the difference but its hard for me to see beyond the similarities. like. i think im just used to the fact that #the last spirit ie my ex that i channelled for years before he got booted was very distinct to my style at concurrent time? #his blog is still up though do NOT listen to what the fuck hes saying because its confirmed 100% with everyone i know now #that he was lying he is NOT a pc pagan spirit... but if youre curious about his writing style his blog was cosmicallynightmarish #mathi didnt really talk much on her blog so i wont link that but. yeah no tldr i think lev has a distinct style but its subtle and he #majorly just speaks through my head. which. is a fun experience in the astral actually #God its so fascinating like last night i was just hearing his voice and i was like damn. wow. love this. you never speak so low or. rarely. #and then id be like hold on its english why are you Speaking english so id stare at his mouth and it wasnt moving? #i was like bruh. NOT AS IF I HAVENT NOTICED THIS A BUNCH BEFORE but it was so wild to be HEARING his voice so vividly #and its. projected in my head using MY language?? im like. woah. eye emoji mouth emoji eye emoji #ramblings // #leviathan // #BC LIKE. im in my body - i hear him vividly in the astral - i look in the astral - hes not talking in the astral but in my mind. like it #was a bit of a mindfuck to be receiving astral impulses from the mind of my body in the astral

Newbie

Spencer Reid x Black!Fem!Reader Synopsis: Reader is new to the BAU and discovers that she has similar qualities to another coworker…

A/N: This is based off that one Spencer Reid fic that was basically the same concept but I can’t remember the exact name 😔 + I kinda had early seasons Reid in mind for this but it really goes for any season

 “Did you hear about the new kid?” Penelope asked, making her way over to JJ’s desk. 

“New kid?” She questioned. 

“Well, y’know. She’s around Reid’s age, and I heard that she’s practically just like him. Besides some physical differences.” She explained. 

“Oh yeah, I saw. It’s pretty weird.” Elle told them. 

“Wait, shh! Here she comes now!” Penelope whisper shouted as you made your way over to them. 

 “Um, do you guys know where Hotchner’s office is?” You asked them awkwardly, making them glance at each other, obviously entertained. 

“Yeah, but he’s in a meeting right now.” Penelope lied. 

“Oh…” You said, before quickly glancing at Penelope’s shirt, which was littered with cartoon cats. “Do you like cats?” You asked her, still looking at her shirt, causing her to raise an eyebrow. 

“Yeah…why?” 

“Did you know that most cats are actually lactose intolerant? Some can love milk, but most are. Plus, cats can’t taste anything sweet.” You informed, holding up your index finger.

 The three women looked at each other in amusement. “Really?” You nodded.

“Also, did you know that the first black female FBI agent was Sylvia Elizabeth Mathis? I know that fact technically only applies to me, but…interesting factoid I guess..” You rambled. 

“It’s worse than we thought…” Penelope whispered. “What is?” You asked, worried.

“You know, I think there’s someone that you’d get along pretty well with…” JJ suggested. 

“Really? Who?” 

“Reid!” The three of them called, making a tall and slender young man come rushing to JJ’s desk. 

 “New initiative.” Penelope said.

“You two have…a lot in common.” JJ finished.  

You hold your hand out for him to shake, and he does as such. 

“Nice to meet you…”

“Y/N.” You finished. “Did you know that the earliest depiction of a handshake was from an ancient Assyrian relief from-”

“9th Century BC? I know.” Spencer finished.

“Well…shucks. I’m not exactly used to not being the smartest.” 

 “You can be the smartest female! I’m willing to give up my title..” Penelope half-joked, making you chuckle. 

“That’d be nice.” 

“Well, Reid? Why don’t you show the young lady around?” 

“Sure.” He replied, motioning for you to follow him. 

You two had barely left the spot when Hotchner emerged from his office. 

“Reid,” He called, making both of you stop in your tracks. “I see you’ve beaten me to welcoming our new kid.” He said smiling. 

“Sorry sir,” Reid sheepishly apologized. “If you want, I can-”

“No no, I think you’ve got it.” He told him with a wink.

I solved a mystery that only I care about lol

ok so I have no clue what I'm doing and social media terrifies me. I will probably never touch this account again. why did I have to follow 3 algorithm-selected accounts to get into this website? I can actually name 3 people I'd want to follow on here and it's none of the people your fucking robot told me to follow. but hey, I feel like I have to post it here rather than my blogspot since nobody in the world actually uses blogspot and I want people to see this!

so anyway, there's this band out of the city of Milwaukee called Hero of a Hundred Fights. they dropped a couple CDs in the early 2000s and seem to have broken up, though all their members have been in bands since. that'll be important a little later. for now, Hero of a Hundred Fights are important to me on 2 levels:

I'm a Wisconsinite who has a tiny bit of an obsession with local history and art and really fuck with their weird mathy little corner of the 2000s hardcore scene

I'm a Faction Paradox fan and their 2001 EP The Remote, The Cold contains numerous references to the series! if you've heard of this EP before, it was probably in the context of some "music that references Faction Paradox" list or another

about #2... see, everyone already knows that track 2 is called Faction Paradox and track 3 is called The Celestis. we've all long since put together that the title is a reference to Lawrence Miles' Interference. but what about the lyrics? unfortunately, we don't know. they're not online, and the vocals are good, mind, but rather incoherent.

well, we didn't know. until I ordered a CD copy for like $8 lol. that's all it took! so here you go, the lyrics booklet plus some of the other artwork featured on the CD. artist Nick Slough did a great job on this art and it's a shame only the cover is widely available online (though that's hardly a problem unique to the physical version of this one album). turns out, this is some kinda concept album based on the Miles novel Interference. cool! really love the lyrics on Rope especially. "I need your blood to get this vessel running" and "my life was in your hands, I cut them off and now they're mine" are both raw as hell.

the cover art is pretty interesting. this album was recorded in 2000, released in 2001. the entire creative process occurred before the first standalone Faction Paradox release, The Book of the War. this means the album is entirely Doctor Who-based, not based on the FP series itself. it also means, if we assume the humanoid characters on the art are supposed to be the Remote, that this is the first-ever professional art depicting them!

disclaimer: the booklet lyrics don't 100% match up with what's said in the songs! it's mostly accurate but unfortunately there are some sections missing, some repeated bits that are only written once et al. that's all par for the course but I figured I'd mention it - especially in the case anybody wants to use this to transcribe the lyrics on Genius or some other site like that.

and while we're here, Hero 100 member William Zientara has been in a billion different bands, and I think he's probably the most responsible for the Doctor Who theme on this album. See, he was also in a short-lived band called Managara - named after a Doctor Who tie-in novel so obscure even I, owner of a complete set of Virgin New Adventures who spends my work breaks combing through digital copies of old fanzines, have only ever heard it discussed a handful of times. one of their songs is called Happiness Patrol. more recently, in 2021, he was in the band Fuiguirnet, who have a song called What Grows From the Seeds of Doom! which means Zientara has been randomly tossing Doctor Who references into songs from at least three different bands for twenty years!

so uhh without any further rambling here's the lyrics and art:

#faction paradox #hero of a hundred fights #music

[turtle-paced]

Hia! Hope you are well.

I've got kind of a nitpicky and rambling question: I was rereading the Tyrion III chapter in ASOS, in which the small council meets and Littlefinger gets approval to go marry Lysa. Littlefinger says that marrying Lysa will be easy because he's bedded her before-- why does this draw no reaction from anyone? Petyr and Lysa haven't been together in the same place since Jon Arryn died, so Littlefinger is pretty much telling everyone flat-out that Lysa was having premarital and/or extramarital sex. Which kind of feels like a big deal in relation to her status/ reputation and Sweetrobin's legitimacy/claim to the Vale. I mean, look at the lengths that Hoster took to get Lysa married in the first place after she had premarital sex. And the surrounding Cat chapters at that point in the book are in the midst of the reveal about it. Lysa's actions clearly had serious consequences and was very thoroughly covered up-- premarital sex for a noblewoman is evidently no joke in Westeros. Yet why does no one bat an eye? Wouldn't Petyr/Lysa sex be a big deal? Did they think he was making a joke? Or did they just not care? And why would he blurt that out in the first place?

Sorry if this is a dumb question-- just wondering if there is some consensus on this that I'm missing. Have a good day! :-)

Lord Rowan looked doubtful. "Would Lady Lysa have you?"

"She's had me a few times before, Lord Mathis, and voiced no complaints."

"Bedding," said Cersei, "is not wedding. Even a cow like Lysa Arryn might be able to grasp the difference."

"To be sure. It would not have been fitting for a daughter of Riverrun to marry one so far below her." Littlefinger spread his hands. "Now, though... a match between the Lady of the Eyrie and the Lord of Harrenhal is not so unthinkable, is it?"

Tyrion III, ASoS

Littlefinger is using the fact that he's got a better established relationship with Lysa as leverage. Lysa's been rejecting suitors right left and centre since she was widowed. The Lannisters and pals just want Lysa to shut up, go away, and present no problems to them - and wouldn't you know it here's Littlefinger saying "yes, I can do that, guaranteed."

In terms of Sweetrobin's legitimacy, Littlefinger doesn't put a timeframe on the affair. Savvier operators may make inquiries, including of Varys, as to what was going on between Littlefinger and Lysa. But as the Lannisters well know, proving paternity without DNA testing is difficult and always contestable.

Overall, though, it's just not time for the Lannisters to be looking a gift horse in the mouth. They'll judge Lysa in the confines of their own skulls and focus on the immediate practicality of neutralising her politically.

CHANGE MY WAYS: RONNIE MATHIS X BLACK PLUS SIZE READER

SUMMARY: Unique takes ronnie to his old friend's house to keep him hidden, after a few weeks they get closer.

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

"Unique?!" You crushed him in a hug.

"Hey y/n it's good to see you." He cheesed showing off his grills.

"It's good to see you too, what brings you on this side of town?" You opened the door wider letting him and an unfamiliar face inside.

"Oh hey its nice to meet you." You smiled sweetly at the stranger.

He just looked at you and took a seat on the couch.

You frowned slightly but took a seat as well.

"I came to ask you for a favor, you know i hate asking you for things but you're the only one i could think of." Unique sighed.

"Hey after everything you've done for me nothing is too big, you saved my fucking life i got you, anything you need." You grabbed his hand.

"Can Ronnie lay low here, just for a little while until things die down on the streets?" He asked nervously.

"Wait Ronnie? this is your brother?" You looked at him in surprise.

"Yeah this him." He nodded.

"He in some kind of trouble?" You looked at the man who had his eyes focused on the tv.

"Honestly yeah, but he won't bring no shit your way and he won't cause you any problems i swear." Unique rambled.

"It's cool nique, i understand. He'll be safer over here anyways and he looks pretty strong so i'm sure if some shit pop off he can handle it. You know i've had my fair share of trouble myself so i won't turn away somebody who needs help especially somebody related to you." You smiled reassuringly patting his knee.

"Yo i really appreciate you." He stood kissing your cheek.

"Of course" You hugged him.

"Have you eaten anything?" You looked at Ronnie.

"Nah." He glanced up at you before quickly focusing back on the tv.

"I got some leftover steak and gravy with rice if you want some." You suggested.

He nodded his head rapidly and you just laughed going to the kitchen to heat up a plate.

"Careful that nigga will eat you out a house and home." Unique said swinging his keys by the front door. 

"That's ok i always make too much anyways, at least now i'll have somebody to eat it." You smiled.

You brought the plate over to him along with a soda to drink and he wasted no time digging in.

You watched happily as he ate the food, you loved to cook and feed people it made you smile to see someone enjoying something you made.

"There's more if you want." You giggled as he scraped the plate clean.

The next day

"I'm going to get groceries, anything specific you might want?" You grabbed your pen and pad making corrections to your list.

"Cheerios." Ronnie spoke from the couch.

"Got it, i'll be back in a little while. Didn't nique say he was coming by to drop your stuff off?" You grabbed your coat throwing it on before bending down to lace up your sneakers.

"Yeah.." He responded eyes trailing your back side.

"I think i'll make fried chicken, mac and cheese, cornbread, and greens for dinner tonight. I'm in the mood for a old school sunday dinner. That sound good to you?" You asked grabbing your purse.

"Mhm." He nodded his head stomach growling at the thought.

"See you later." You laughed.

Time skip

"This should be the last of your shit." Unique dropped a bag on the floor.

"Don't be throwing my stuff around nigga." Ronnie mugged him.

"Yeah yeah whatever. Look man lemme talk to you for a minute." Unique led them both to the couch.

"What?" Ronnie asked irritation lacing his features.

"I really love y/n like she my little sister real shit so please don't hurt her, she been through a lot and she sensitive." He spoke softly.

"She ain't never did shit to me so i got no reason to, you ain't gotta worry bout me nigga." He rolled his eyes at the younger male.

"Alright then, listen i got some shit to take care of i'll see you later." Unique stood making his way toward the door.

Ronnie watched him as he walked away, he had never been so protective over someone besides jerome, hell he didn't care that much about Penessa so y/n must've really meant a lot to him.

He decided to respect his brother's wishes and not do anything to hurt y/n not that he was going to anyways.

A few days later

You and Ronnie were laying around in the living room watching tv when the front door opened.

"Yo yo, anybody home? it's dark as hell in here." Unique flicked the lights on.

"Oh hey what you doing here?" You stood greeting him.

"I brought a lil friend you haven't seen in a minute." He smirked.

You looked around in confusion until little footsteps approached you.

"Tee tee." Jerome grabbed at your legs.

"He remembers me?" You looked at Unique tears filling your eyes.

"Of course how could i let him forget his auntie." Unique smiled.

"Hey little man, you wanna play with some toys? We got blocks, a train set, some play dough..." You spoke picking him up and taking him to your bedroom.

"Hey man we got a problem." Unique turned toward Ronnie once you were out of earshot.

"What problem?" Ronnie raised a brow.

"Julianna making a fucking mess, interrupting our shipments, taking out our men. I don't know what the fuck got her so bitter but the bitch taking all this shit too far." He spat.

"So take her ass out then." Ronnie spoke annoyed.

"It ain't that fucking easy, we can't just make a enemy outta her people. Look you made this mess so you gotta fix it." Unique stood again.

"Fuck you mean i made it?!" Ronnie got in his face.

"You fucked her a few times and left her high and dry. The bitch hurt and she ain't gone stop till we all dead, so fix it!" Unique shoved him backwards.

"Is everything ok y'all?" You furrowed your brows little Jerome on your hip playing with the blocks you gave him.

"Yeah." Unique fixed his jacket.

"You mind keeping him for the night? I got some things to take care of." He shot Ronnie a glare.

"Oh yeah no problem, we're gonna have so much fun." You squeezed the boy's cheeks.

"I'm going too." Ronnie put his shoes and jacket on.

"Oh… ok." You frowned not wanting him to leave.

"I'll be back later on tonight i promise." He melted slightly at the look on your face quickly recovering seeing Unique smirk looking between the two of you.

You nodded leading them to the door.

"You got something you wanna tell me?" Unique looked over at Ronnie as they got in the car.

"Fuck you mean?" He mugged him.

"I'll be back i promise." Unique mocked.

"You like her, you going soft nigga." Unique laughed.

"Just shut the fuck up and drive." He slapped him upside his head.

Let me know if y’all want part 2

Thinking about A'Yuan, who was so little and scared but couldn't/wouldn't cry when Wei Wuxian took him from the camp. Thinking about that same boy later on getting lost in the streets of yiling and crying, because this time he knows this time he has someone to call for, someone who will come to get him. Thinking about how it's mentioned in text that Wei Wuxian often played and looked after him. Thinking about how much love and care and attention he must have been given to have such a transformation. Regardless of whatever else happened to the settlement, a little boy was able to find his voice and smile again. And he was able to grow into such an upstanding young man with good friends. Once again, Lan Shizui is the best testament as to why what Wei Wuxian did was the right thing.

OKAY finally... weeks later... virche..

it was really good, better (and funnier?? at least in the common route) than I was expecting and oh man I crieeedddd like hell I love tragedy. scien didn't let me down at all either he was an all timer for me imagine CxM takeru even more stuck up? and prone to folly? helloooo spoilery ramblings under cut (plotbeats in general but I'm keeping like name/character reveals out)

I'm gonna start with my biggest nitpicks just to get them out of the way, I REALLY didn't like how in the 3rd act of the game they tried to rehabilitate the image of the villain of mathis' route... like.... it felt tone deaf to everything else going on. why are we critiquing the villain of lucas' route unerringly and KILLING HIM (good!) but the guy who's killing sex workers out of a depraved misplaced grudge and for insane experiments is somehow remotely pitiable or noble in his suffering ?? the game even went out of the way to humanize and relate to sex workers in act 1 so the heel turn of just... not acknowledging it at all suddenly felt so out of nowhere and so awful.... the context of it all isn't even the most intense shit in the game but it's the only one that gets brushed aside and forgotten and cheapened... like they harp on scien being evil for human experimentation but then... this dude is "ah but he did it for looove... you don't understaaand" come ONNNNN nah. at least send his ass to jail? ??? and overall honestly I wasn't hugely into mathis' route despite them putting some tropes in there that'd normally hook me pretty good just that whole like. last 10%-25% of the route had me 😑

in general I don't really have any other big problems with it other than lucas' route was so overbearing in it's suffering and misery it ALMOST became funny in a horseshoe way but instead it was just kind of exhausting to read. not the worst shit I've seen in this genre BY FAR though I still enjoyed the ride it was just a lot of "this can't possibly get worse, right?...... ah" moments LOL

but scien, yves, ankou... my GODDDDD they hard carry this game they are SICCCCKK in the head in the best ways. lovers dragging each other down into hell just for a moment of fleeting acceptance and comfort in a cruel world yayyy ❤️❤️❤️ and I actually liked adolph a lot too, them weaponizing his "painfully normal guy" leading otoge man attributes for genuine narrative merit kinda floored me tbh I loved that, it was real as hell. but I need the FD to make ankou happy it's not fucking fair.... I sobbed and I loved it but I need the comfort now.... auuu... also scien is literally just the dream come true of dating a resident evil tier fucked up scientist dude except he has enough of a shred of humanity to be pulled back from the brink LOLLL but still, even in routes where he was a villain... would

ALSO to me? 👇this is more intimate than sex. throw yourself on the pyre to prove your devotion burns brighter etcetera . twirling my hair

anyway. the girls are fightingggg

#AOUGHH okay. I marathoned this fucking game. I got it 9 days before actual release and I ended up finishing it like. morning of release LOL #I liked it. idk why people were so weird about this game during the jpn release way back at alllll it's what it says on the tin etc #car talking #car's 2023 media #virche

[heres-to-all-that-is-mine]

oh and also how would your OCs react to being hugged?

What, all of them? /silly

Assuming you mean recent ones…

Fidel would go along with it, but push you away after a “reasonable” amount of time. It’s really only a thing he tolerates.

Emile is a touch starved little thing (“little” being entirely inaccurate here) and would enjoy it for as long as they think they can get away with, before common sense kicks in and they push away the total stranger. Deeply embarrassed but also… it feels nice!

Zed has a “does nobody respect personal space!?” Attitude, but also has to remain polite, so it’s a sort of “okay, okay, that’s enough buddy” routine with a pat on the shoulder and slightly less than polite prying to get you off. (He will be thinking about it for hours, though - despite his attitude, the guy’s also pretty touch starved.)

Dee isn’t a very “huggy” person, but they’re also slightly nicer than Zed, so they’ll allow it for a little while before wriggling away if it seems like the other person needs it or something. Overly excited hugging earns a gentle but firm push by the shoulders.

Mathis loves it, for the simple reason that it’s attention given freely to them. However, when it becomes more bothersome than pleasant, they’ll pick you up and put you aside like a particularly rowdy kitten.

Chief… will tolerate it for as long as it seems like you’ll need it. They’re trying to be a gentleman, insofar as they can, though he’ll get uncomfortable.

Oh… my god… I’ve been emotionally devastated by Le Salut 😂

Rambling and spoilers under the cut as usual! Still haven’t done any of the salvation ends though so no worries about those, not sure if I’ll make one post for all of them or reblog my individual posts from each route lmao

Wow this route was CHONKY Jesus! I guess my biggest initial thoughts after playing are:

1) I am boo boo the fool… cannot believe we were betrayed by Dahut like that��� the signs were there but I dismissed because he was best (adult) boy and I loved him… to quote my other post: “Any time Dahut shows up now I’m like OH THANK GOD someone who doesn’t need therapy” 🤡 never before have I been so utterly devastated by a character’s betrayal 💀

And 2) Ankou being Adolphe punched me in the gut, stole my purse, and kicked my dog, I was thinking there had to be time travel or multiverse shenanigans but not like that… (I love Ankou but tbh Adolphe is just kinda, meh to me? So I’m conflicted…) Though the real kicker was the fact that HE WAS AMERICAN THIS WHOLE TIME HELL, YEAH USA!! USA!! USA!! 🔫 (LOL sorry jkjk… but no really when he pulled out a fucking gun I busted out laughing, bitch why did you not use this earlier 😂)

But anyways, back to the route itself! I very much loved the character interactions we got with Ceres, Adolphe, and Ankou! Very cute, very wholesome, and Ankou in lounge wear…? *chef’s kiss* 👀 Although this is when I noticed that they both had such shiny blue earrings… maybe in my heart I knew all along… I also still love the friendship between Nadia and Dahut… 😔 and Ankou meeting Yves was so sweet!(even though knowing the truth now makes it… oof in hindsight) but good to know we all support Yves being with Ceres 😂

This route kinda turned me off Salome though? Like yandere tendencies aside, in every other route she was just the loving, maybe a bit overprotective milf (yeah I said it fight me) with a complicated and tragic past… but damn really was not a fan of her actually being the queen and Dahut’s mom. Kinda mad she killed him in the end 😬 (also, my god the teenage pregnancies must be wild in this country)

Also I am SO. SICK. OF CAPUCINE!! PLEASE STOP SHOWING UP AND BEING CREEPY TOWARDS NADIA AND A DICK TO LUCAS!! Him, the Royal family, and honestly the vast majority of the people in Arpechele suck major donkey balls oh my god. Y’know what I kinda support Dahut’s plan to just burn the country to the ground, we stan a short king 👑

… is it bad though that Capucine’s kinda grown on me? LOL, like I still hate his guts (thank you Scien our god for blowing him up) but it’s kinda hilarious watching him when things don’t go his way 😂 idk if I find him a kind of well written villain or if I have Stockholm syndrome after we’ve been forced to see him in every route 💀

Jean on the other hand! I am so happy that my evil hot butler turned into a reluctant ally in this route!! The bit where he and Mathis had to help Scien was very super cute, and poor sweet Mathis you are so forgiving, you deserve so much better, I hope Jean treats you nicer 😔 I respect his one-track mind for Rosalie though, man has a mission to get his wife back and by god he’s not gonna let anything stop him lmao 🫡

Gotta say though, I don’t remember exactly what triggered this but I just remember thinking, “oh more science to ignore!” So, yeah it… did not get better lmao. Like, some hand-wavey science is fine for world building and stuff, but when your plot hinges on the science and details, it’s really gotta have a more solid foundation than this. It’s not even nitpicking, it really doesn’t make sense if you think about it for more than one second 😂

Ngl I kinda wish that they had kept the supernatural aspect (not just because I’m not super keen on Ankou being Adolphe…), it would’ve made the nonsensical science easier to digest so they wouldn’t have been forced to explain everything away. Like, if it’s all grounded in reality, answer me this game! How did Ankou regenerate HIS CLOTHES after being just a HEAD IN A JAR??? 💀 the censoring was also kinda weird… like okay sure it’s all scientific but what, “the world” won’t let Ankou talk about specific things Adolphe doesn’t know yet?? Sure……. 😐

Although, no magic does make Ankou’s “vanishing” kinda hilarious since it meant he really did have to just run and hide behind whatever he could find. Like that’s inching towards JJBA part 3 DIO stopping time and carrying polnareff two steps down the staircase just to fuck with him levels of petty and dramatic LOL, but also have you seen how long and flowy this man’s hair and clothes are, Ceres how did you not notice?? Girl is you dumb??? 😂

Also I find adolphe being 25 while Ceres is 18 a little bit sus, and I’m really not a fan of the “big brother” figure becoming a love interest trope (I know they’re not blood related but still 😬). If Ankou had actually been a supernatural entity that was hundreds of years old, I would’ve been totally fine with that lmao, but him being Adolphe?? Mmmmm… mmmm unfortunately that’s a no from me, damn I’m actually kinda disappointed, just gonna make up something in my head and pretend that fact doesn’t exist 😔

I LOVE that all our boys + Jean(LOL) banded together in this route though!! Seeing them all alive made me so relieved oh my god 😭 wish we got a little bit more Lucas (yes I’m biased) but I get it, he’s too OP lmao, they literally had to nerf him with incurable anime disease before the game even started or else he’d be too much of a threat 💀

OH I FORGOT ABOUT HUGO LMAO, thanks for helping too, bud! I’m so glad you realize how Yvesexual you are in this final route!! 😂

Okay. I think that’s all the word vomit I have… tldr; Dahut is a short king, Salome kinda sucks to me, Ankou still >>> Adolphe (sorry Adolphe fans) and I wish there actually was a supernatural aspect, loved the squad of my boys + Jean helping out!

My personal character rankings now are Lucas > Jean(I know he’s not an LI just let me be delusional💀) > Ankou (took a hit being Adolphe but he’s so pretty it makes up for it) > Yves > Scien = Mathis > Adolphe

I’m still emotionally devastated but I’ll probably do the rest of the despair ends today and then all the salvation ends tomorrow/the day after depending on how long they take… I think I’ll just squeeze them all into one ramble lmao

Hoooo boy this was a doozy, still love the game despite my complaints, looking forward to being destroyed again by the salvation ends (I just know Lucas’s is gonna suck) 😂

Backstory

The Durands were an ancient pureblood family from France that, held a significant impact among their peers. Begirded by myth, the Durands were said to possess the ability to understand and speak to dragons while said creatures would roam and guard their lands and fort.

Violette grew up in a rather loving and protected environment, away from the fort, in a smaller Chateau near it. Her father, the rightful heir to their myth-enshrouded estate, had rather left it in the hands of his brother, desiring a more conventional life for himself and his family. Although grown up away from the myths and legends, Violette was taught her family's lore and trained in all necessities before attending the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic where she would hone in on her natural affinity for alchemy/spagyric. She’d spend her summers bouncing back and forth between England and France.

In Violette's third year at Beauxbatons, her grandfather on her mother's side died under mysterious circumstances that have not been clarified to this day. Thereupon her parents decided to relocate to England to be closer to her now widowed grandmother, entailing a change of school for her and her sister.

the Durand Lineage/History

Magic

House: Hufflepuff

Best Class: Potions, Transfiguration, Herbology, DADA, later Alchemy

Worst Class: probably Flying, if any

Quidditch: –

Clubs: Duelling Club

Wand: Maple Wood, Phoenix Core, 13 1/2” Length, Slightly Yielding Flexibility

➔ I have often found that those chosen by maple wands are by nature travellers and explorers; they are not stay-at-home wands and prefer ambition in their witch or wizard, otherwise their magic grows heavy and lacklustre. Fresh challenges and regular changes of scene cause this wand to literally shine, burnishing itself as it grows, with its partner, in ability and status. This is a beautiful and desirable wood, and wand quality maple has been among the most costly for centuries. Possession of a maple wand has long been a mark of status, because of its reputation as the wand of high achievers.

Animagus: –

Boggart: her drowning

Riddikulus: turns into a mermaid cheerfully swimming through the room

Patronus: booted eagle

Patronus Memory: first underground feminist gathering her mom took her to

Mirror of Erised: her working with Nicolas Flamel, having her own family/being a mother

Amortentia (what she smells like): lavender, freshly printed books, vanilla, citrus, almond

Amortentia (what she smells): raspberries, worn leather, iodine, and ink

Magical Abilities: can speak with dragons and dragon-like creatures

9–14: Student at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic

14–18: Student at Hogwarts

18–22: Alchemist apprentice of Nicolas Flamel; Freelance artist

22–??: Freelance/travelling Alchemist and Potion-maker

Joining Deaglán on his adventures, Violette focused on her work as a freelance alchemist and potion-maker. Her workspace neatly hidden away in her suitcase, ready to take it with her wherever they'd go. She'd pair up and learn from fellow colleagues all around the world, sometimes exhibiting her art in small galleries in the cities they’d stay in. Slowly but surely making a name for herself in both fields.

Personality & Attitude

Personality: kind, gentle and calm but steadfast in her beliefs, eager to work hard and learn more, feels a lot, great with people but likes to be alone or to be surrounded by close friends, doesn’t like seeing others being mistreated, even though not too talkative (only with people close to her) doesn’t shy away from discussions or voicing her thoughts and opinions, values integrity and kindness above all, has a deep desire to learn and grow

Weaknesses: very cautious and guarded around new people (she’s still nice tho), can be sensitive, perfectionist

Stressors: rarely showing signs of stress only when under a lot of pressure or in/on deep bodies of water (where she can’t stand)

Comfort: family and friends, alone with a good book and warm cup of tea, being out in nature, painting, summer rain, the ocean

Priorities: fairness, doing the "right" thing, her family and friends

Favourites

Colours: soft blue, off-white, lavender

Food: freshly backed french pastries

Drink: black tea with milk

Flowers: Lavender, Dahlia, Lilac

Books: North and South – Elizabeth Gaskell; Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen

Weather: warm and sunny, summer rain

Style: Violette grew up in a rather wealthy family, so she‘s always expected to look presentable but she doesn’t mind getting dirty. Usually prefers light and flowy clothes over overly constructed garments. Loves lace. Likes to wear pants from time to time.

Relationships

Significant Other/Love Interest: Deaglán Herrity @magicallymalted Violette met Deaglán in their shared Herbology class shortly after she transferred from Beauxbatons in her fourth year. They developed a casual friendship from interacting in class which turned into budding feelings after she helped him through a sudden bout of panic when confronting venomous tentaculas again in review for their NEWTs. They grew closer ever since and once they graduated from Hogwarts and went along their respective career paths, they wrote letters to each other and eventually reunited in Paris.

Best friend(s): tbd

Childhood best friend: Victor Abel Lyon

Friends:

Julian Flamel @potionboy3 Violette and Julian met in class and would occasionally sit together and chat. They quickly bonded over their shared experience of moving to England from France and their mutual interest in Alchemy, soon becoming casual friends. When Violette went to Paris during their last summer holidays to prepare for her upcoming apprenticeship, she came to know that the Flamels claimed not to have any relatives named Julian. A little hurt about her unexpected finding, she questioned him upon returning to Hogwarts, asking him why he had lied. This caused a bigger argument between the two and a period of showing each other the cold shoulder. After a while and after coming to his senses, Julian finally reached out to Violette, inquiring about what she had heard … slowly starting to question his mother's story himself. After their reconciliation and their trust in each other growing, the two became close friends.

Josie Edwards; Lottie Gallagher; Lysander Mercury @slytherindisaster

Delilah Sweets @usernoneexistent Delilah and Violette were alchemy buddies and would spend hours in the lab together. After Hogwarts, they would take the alchemy world by storm, support each other as co-workers and pave the way for more girls in this field.

Open for friendship requests :)

Children: tbd

Random HC:

loves her family to death, although Celeste can be a bit annoying and they bicker quite a lot, all of them support each other

admires her parent's relationship, it makes her insanely happy to see them so in love even after all these years (low-key wants a marriage like theirs)

if her life was a musical she'd be strutting through a field singing Belle (Reprise)

Violette's father uses a port key to travel back and forth between his office in Paris and his home in London

skilled at wandless magic; fierce duellist (has been trained by her day since a young age)

when she was little, befriended a Portuguese Long-Snout named 'Diaval' but called it 'Didi', she would play with it in the fields around the fort; has a broad knowledge about dragons

when she’s not with her friends, she spends a lot of her time in the greenhouse tending to magical plants, studying or just hanging out (she likes the quiet)

she’s used to big gatherings and balls but, if she can, sneaks away to quieter places every now and then; not really into this whole upper-class thing aside from the dancing and sometimes interesting conversations xD

supporter of social movements (of magical and non-magical nature)

loves lavender because it used to grow on the meadows around her house back in France

childhood trauma: when she was 3 years old she fell into a lake and almost drowned, her father was able to rescue her but she’s been scared of deep bodies of water ever since

likes to sing and has a beautiful voice but doesn't really do it in front of other people or big audiences, only her close ones get to hear it

dreams of going to Paris to work with and learn from Nicolas Flamel; her father's side of the family is friends with the Flamels

misses French pastries terribly, her Grandma sends some over from time to time
