Adds a video feature showcasing how other teams completed various battles. There will also be info about frequently used teams/characters and Sync Grid builds. There's a feature to copy these builds and teams too, tho it won't be applicable for some battles and it'll only allow characters you have and their current grid level.
Character customization! New hairstyles (7 of them, tho I don't know if there's just 7 between the characters or if they're gender-locked), hair colors, and different types of hats depending on your hairstyle.
Jasmine and Whitney give the player a 3000 free gem gift Dec24.
Dawn will be added to the Trainer's Lodge Jan1!
Fantima EX, along with a grid boost. Janine/Ariados, Surge/Voltorb, and Agatha/Gengar also get grids.
Dec26 is a rerun of the Anniversary event from last year and its Sync Pairs.

The next message will be Jan1, 2023 (JST), and there will be more details there on things coming next month.
Hello, Isolans! We have conducted an activity check for the month of August!
The blogs that were removed from the Isola Radiale masterlist are under the cut. Note that both blogs with broken links and deactivated accounts will be included both at the top of this list and in their proper categories.
If you were removed in error, please simply send a re-application message. Several different people work on the activity checks, so it’s possible there are mistakes! If this happens to you, you will be able to keep everything you previously had, you just may be placed in a different residence.
Our general activity rules regarding checks are as follows:
Make at least three in-character posts during a calendar month.
Only one drabble and/or meme response of 300+ words counts as activity.
One-liners or minis not tagged #isola mini also do not count.
Please Note: If you are removed during two consecutive activity checks, you will not be allowed to re-apply as that character for two calendar months.
Additionally, anyone removed during the activity check will have a 12-hour window from the time of posting to re-claim their character. Any character not reclaimed during that period will be open to the community at large.
Here’s the list of everyone who’s signed up for the exchange, plus their prompts and their DNWs/triggers, in case you wanted to make a treat for them in addition to your assignment.
Those of you who didn’t sign up for the exchange but still want to participate somehow are welcome to post treats as well!
Just a reminder, treats can be: fanfiction less than 1k words; art at any stage of being finished; graphics or edits; fanmix of 10 songs or less; a headcanon list with 15 or less items.

How 27 NHL players got shredded for the 2017 season
Bruce Bennett/Getty Images
For hockey players, getting through the grueling NHL season is no easy feat.
It’s 82 games of hard-fought skating, slashing, and big hits, which can leave players bruised and bloodied by the end—and that’s not even factoring whether their team makes the playoffs or not.
[RELATED1]
Whether it’s Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin banging out squats and hitting the bench press over the summer, New York Rangers speedster Michael Grabner coming up with new drills to help him get faster, or Toronto Maple Leafs youngster William Nylander crushing single-leg lifts, squats, cleans, and deadlifts, as these guys told Men’s Fitness, it takes time and dedication to in the gym to be an NHL pro.
Just like their counterparts around the sports world, including NFL players James Harrison, Russell Wilson, and Antonio Brown, NBA stars like LeBron James and Jimmy Butler, and MLB powerhouses like Bryce Harper, Giancarlo Stanton, and Mike Trout, these NHL players love sharing their workouts on social media.
Here’s how 27 NHL players trained for the 2016-17 season and got shredded:

Hockey
from Men's Fitness http://www.mensfitness.com/sports/hockey/how-27-nhl-players-got-shredded-2017-season
Ok, so I got tagged by fionauna to get to know me better.
rules: tag 9 people you would like to get to know better (probably won’t be that many for me)
relationship status: single
favorite color: teal and royal blue
Pets: I have 6 cockatiels named Candy, Sigma, Skylar, Roosevelt, Momo, and Shiro, 2 sun conures Echo and Cielo, a green cheek conure named Pipin, a goffins cockatoo named Yuki, a zebra finch named Peepers, and 2 society finches named, Zee-pa-rooni and Tweep-pa-rooni. I also have a really well trained white fluffy mutt named Curly, a super fat tuxedo cat named Dinkles, and a pack man frog who likes to bite named Chompy. Also all of my parrots are rescues and I’m even the 3rd owner for some.
Last song i listened to: I’m gona do last songs I played instead, I was practicing Jumping Jack by Scotty Morris and I’m trying to master a special arrangement of Work Song by Nat Addery. I’m in a jazz band and play bass clarinet.
Favorite tv show: I love cartoons! Favorites are Steven Universe, Over the Garden Wall, and Gravity Falls. I’ve been crazy busy so I haven’t been watching a ton of anime but my friends are getting me into Yuri on Ice and JoJo. Also I love Stranger Things and Parks and Recs.
first fandom: Probably Pokemon or Zoids when I was a kid, got into more anime when I was in middle school, and only really stated playing games after high school.
hobbies: Sewing, prop building/making, cosplaying, costuming, LARPing, D&D, playing and collecting clarinets, video games, animal training, camping/outdoorsy stuff, and drawing. Been limited to all of them cuz of my health but I’m trying my best not to lose my edge. Also I’m a trained cake decorator and a florist.
books i’m currently reading: None really cuz I’m so busy and I have memory and attention problems. I used to love comic books and manga. I’ve been really wanting to pick up Berserk since all of my friends like it. I also got the Silent Hill and Dragon Age comics that I really need to find time to read.
Ok, so I really don’t know who to tag but lets go with dogdemonsrock5 mmgags juststandingthere-menacingly and narwhalrus since I kinda know you
Also people can message me whenever if you got questions ‘n stuff.
