*Bams the door down*

Hello!

Tell me about your ocs please! All the random facts! Well not technically all, just some of them, you get what I mean. XD

I Want To Know More!

And also how's you been? And what do you think about everything that exists? =>

Random facts time!!!

Ill try to list them in order of like, my first OC to my most recent OC's

Jinx first!!!

Jinx was once turned into a cat by the villains, and Jinx was pretty chill about it really, they loved knocking stuff over at the villain base, and since the villains thought they was just turned into a cat, no JInx inside, they just assumed it was normal cat behavior

Jinx is a magpie, like they LOVE shiny stuff, like, once, the heroes and villains were fighting over an ancient artifact, who gets it, the heroes want it so that they know the villains cant abuse it, and the villains want it for power, and then Jinx just ups and steals it just cause its shiny

Jinx has a twin brother Aegis, hes the opposite of Jinx, a hero, no-nonsense, his powers is to create shields, i made him after i made Jinx, but using the base i made for Jinx

Aegis is Bisexual and up for poly btw (i even thought about making him date the leader of the heroes and the leader of the villains just for the shits and giggles,)

Jinx lives with their brother (Aegis is older by 2 minutes ["best 2 minutes of my life" lol], cause their parents kicked Jinx out at 18, and Aegis was disgusted by that, so he lived with Jinx

Jinx didnt get much attention as a child, so that's why they're what they're like today, he has flair, a loud voice, just so that they get attention,

also, Jinx had to mostly fend for themself as a child, and they were given almost no supervision, since their parents gave Aegis more attention and training, believing that AEgis was more fit to be a superhero, so Jinx could do whatever, really, so they ate a lot of candy, thus giving themselves a sweet tooth. This is also why Jinx is childish, they wasn't allowed to be a child back then so their allowing themselves to be a child

Also, im starting to wonder if Jinx does have a label on what side they're on, like, anti-heroes, to my research, do bad things for good. Anti-villains do good things for bad stuff, so I don't know if Jinx does have a side, cause they just do their own thing, sometimes joining the villains, sometimes joining the heroes, sometimes being an annoyance to both, so like, they're undecided i guess?? (Kinda like they're gender, it switches lol) Lemme look something up real quick...i guess JInx is like a rogue?

Also, Jinx, having no side, maybe has a lair of their own, a small one though, I've been thinking maybe a candy shop? Like, there's a basement of operations down there, and there's a candy shop up top?

Also, Jinx is Chaotic Lawful (or lawful chaotic), where they have a moral code, no one knows what it is though, but thank goodness its there

At first, i wanted to make Jinx have a double life as Casey, but then the more i thought about casey and their stories, it kinda spiraled into casey becoming their own character,

Now, onto Casey!!! Doing this cause he inspired a TON of characters

Caseys a trans man (aka ftm,), and has transitioned now.

He's a tired photographer and journalist (online), goes to college, engineering, he lives with his brother, Ryan Thompson (or Velocity as his hero name), also lives with his brother

Casey is Ryans adopted little brother, Caseys parents are Lady Luck and Mr. Misfortune (idk if i should give him siblings he was separated from)

So pretty much Casey has terrible and Amazing luck, they don't cancel each other out

This is pretty much where chaos happens around casey, but casey somehow gets out unharmed, which is great for his Photography and Journalism blog cause he usually stumbles into super fights!

Also, Caseys like, the go-to kidnapping victim for the villains, where they kidnap him a lot (they don't hurt him, cause i think I'm leaning more into comedy in my world ), and the heroes save him a lot, this led to him knowing a lot about both sides, also, once, Casey got out of his binds when the villains kidnapped him and left him, and instead of escaping, he takes pictures of the lair first, and gets out, and then proceeded to post the pictures and compliment the villain's style.

Also, Casey usually doesnt talk, mostly to people he doesn't know that much, if he's with Ryan or anyone he's really comfortable with, he will not shut up, showing them pictures, stuff he made using engineering, etc.

Also, every character inspired by Casey (like, they first started out as, haha, what if Casey was ___) has a white streak on their hair, so if you see an OC of mine with a white streak, you know what that means!

Now, Dr. Wilde!!

As you know, Dr. Wilde is a crazy scientist!

Dr. Wilde allows Lumi to call him Ezra (at first Lumi called him Dr. Ezra, but as they got more close Lumi started to call him Ezra, like a friend)

Casey has interviewed Dr. Wilde at some point, and even took pictures of his lab, and Casey has taken care of Tar once (picturing Tar and uploading to the internet how weird the rat is, and that once, the rat got in the oven while Casey was baking and it somehow survived)

Dr. Wilde has dyed Tar's fur a bit (haven't decided what color yet), just so that he can differentiate between the lab rats and Tar

Dr. Wilde's lab is right next to his room (which is like a house, having a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc.),

Dr. Wilde rarely leaves his lab / room, as he isn't really interested in the outside world, and when he does leave, he brings Tar with him, and Tar is just perched over Dr. Wilde's shoulder

Dr. Wilde is pretty short, compared to other villains (i should make a height chart actually), where the villains tower over him

Dr. Wilde has green eyes, also, if you look at him, he WILL stare into your soul, no one has ever seen him blink,

Now, Onto Darian Knight / Eclipse!!

As you can see, Darian is inspired by casey,

Darian, at first, joined the heroes to spite his dad, who was a villain back then, but after a while, he did come to like being a hero

Darian joined when he was 18, and he's surprised people still think he's a villain

Solar Flare and Casey are the few people who believe he's a genuine hero, Solar Flare cause he's worked with Darian long enough to know he's being genuine, and Casey cause he interviewed anough people to know whats a lie and whats not, Lumi also knows Casey isn't a villain

Sunny Knight / Lumi!!

He joined the villains at 19, about the same time as Darian,

At home with their parents, Sunny and Darian are more civil, more sibling-like,

In the battlefield, Sunny and Darian try to incapacitate each other than hurt, since, yknow, they're siblings. But they don't fight in the battlefield much, since sometimes Sunny and Darian converse, and the hereos and villains think that Sunny and Darian are teaming up and switching sides (Darian to villains and Sunny to heroes),

Also, Lumi joined the villains just because he could, and it looked fun

i dont have much on newer OC's lol, since i havent fleshed them out much lol

I also have a few more OC's i haven't talked about / fleshed out that much, like they're just an idea, but not a person yet.

Like uhh

Viz:

Theyre a hero with high anxiety, but despite having anxiety, and knowing he would get attention, interviews, etc. He still decides to be a hero, since to him, its the right thing to do. I still haven't showed them yet cause 1. i haven't drawn them yet, 2. with anxiety like them, i want to make sure i represent them well and make them realistic and that i don't make them like a stereotype

Starlight / Adrian Celeste:

Hes a self absorbed egocentric hero, and he's vain, he's kinda a joke hero i thought about, where like, he's self absorbed to the point its funny, hes still nice though, he doesn't show it much though, since he doesn't want to seem vulnerable and stuff. a simple backstory I thought about is that he was put down back then when he was young, so to make himself more confident, he started to compliment himself, and other stuff, but then it quickly spiraled put of control, and now hes like this. He also carries a mirror with himself at all times, just to admire himself, and his mirror in his room has sticky note surrounding where his face would be, and it says "perfect" "amazing" etc. also, he can glow, heal, teleport, and kinda has the ability to see the future (in like a vague way, like, he sees the stars and can sense something in the future, but its just really vague)

Jester / R.J. Santos: (Civilian name im not sure on yet)

Theyre a villain, a non serious villain, think like a cartoon villain, a goofy villain, they dont do any harm, just there to have fun. they also wanted to name themselves Jester Jinx, but since Jinx already had the name, they were okay with going with just Jester. Also, he's filipino. Also, he cares for young heroes (being an impromptu dad himself [long story where a kid of a hero wanted to be a villain, but the parent wanted them to be a hero, so the kid ran away, and got to casey, and casey took care of them and helped them be a villain {the kids, actually a teen, like 16, the teen is names Shadowstrike and their civilian name is Micheal, they hate the name by the way},]), and once, casey saw that the heroes were sending young heroes to his base to defeat him, and R.J. doesn't spot a singular a singular adult there, so he makes the young heroes (teens and even kids) sit down and stuff, and then he calls the heroes (he has their number cause they're usually on good terms), and yells at them over the phone for sending kids to a villain, and that they could've gotten hurt, and he gets so angry he starts shouting in filipino. Also! R.J. has a big family (based off my family), where his great grandma had 12 kids, and those kids (his grandparents and grand aunties and uncles) had kids (about 3 each), his aunties and uncles, and they have kids as well (about 3-5), his cousins and such, and his cousins had children as well, R.J. tries to remember them all by name, but its pretty hard, cause like, he has about

...

three- three thousand, three thousand family members?! Uhm, hold on i gotta ask my mom something about my family, or my dad since that family is on his side

Oh thank god, i only have 106 family members,

uh, so like, new and revised family tree!

my famly is gonna be R.j's family (cause holy fuck no way am i writing 3 thousand family members , J.C.) that's whats R.J's family is gonna be, 106 family members,

Anyways, ive been doing okay-ish! Could be better, but could be worse XP (lets just say the AO3 author curse is real). And i think of things that exist are poggers.

Black Mesas and Sand Dunes in Mauritania

As the International Space Station orbited over the Sahara Desert in the late-afternoon of May 3, 2023, an astronaut took this photograph of hills and sand dunes in southern Mauritania. A line of dark, flat-topped hills known as mesas dominate the view. The small town of Guérou is a faint gray patch on the banks of a small stream. The faint line of a road can be seen cutting through the landscape and connecting with Guérou.

The mesas are remnants of a large Paleozoic Era sandstone formation. They rise steeply 300 to 400 meters (1,000 to 1,300 feet) above the surrounding plain. Rocky surfaces in deserts often appear dark-toned as a result of a thin layer of black rock varnish that develops on rock surfaces enriched in manganese.

Sand grains carried by the dominant winds—coming from the northeast or the right side of this image—are dropped where upwind slopes of the mesas slow wind velocity. Here the grains form yellow-to-tan-toned patches known as climbing dunes. Smaller dunes form farther away from the mesas and take on the curved shape typical of barchan dunes. Mesas influence local surface winds and sand transport, leading to barchan dune formation up to 15 kilometers (9 miles) away in the upwind direction.

Dune sand does not accumulate on the downwind side of the mesas because of a phenomenon known as wind scour. The mesas cause swirls in the wind (vortices) to form immediately downwind. Vortex winds are faster than the easterly winds and transport sand grains away from each mesa.

Another astronaut image, taken in 2014, shows a wider view of this photogenic part of the Sahara Desert.

Astronaut photograph ISS069-E-9197 was acquired on May 3, 2023, with a Nikon D5 digital camera using a focal length of 400 millimeters. It was provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by a member of the Expedition 69 crew. The image has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. Caption by Justin Wilkinson, Texas State University, JETS Contract at NASA-JSC, and Susan Runco (NASA retired).

wild going back to tng s1 when they fully believed that a commbadge could contain an always-on instantaneous automatic long range communications node, but not like, a camera

digital cameras weren't even a dream yet, that's how stuck in the 1980s tng was at first, they had portable devices that could scan for lifeforms and do metallurgical analysis on the fly and they could teleport from place to place and had cars that could achieve orbital velocity and travel at warp speed, but picard could only communicate with riker down on the planet via RADIO

bc the whole premise of live feed video conferencing required dedicated hardware with either a landline hard wired data connection, or a starship with a warp core powering the antennae

they didnt have satellite photography either, nobody on the enterprise could even point a camera down at the planet and see what was happening from above, which is even wilder bc we put space probes in orbit of the outer planets in the 70s! but still, nah, the enterprise can't even do grainy black and white imagery like v'ger

but then jump ahead a couple seasons and everyone has kindles and ipads bc tng INVENTED THEM

#tng #star trek the next generation #80s scifi #tekwar #cameras #like picard asks riker to DESCRIBE armus #bc how could he possibly SEE him when he's all the way up on the ship #does rikee have a polaroid or a portable darkroom #does armus' planet have a one hour photo #did riker bring his camcorder #no he brought a super 8 and picard won't see the footage for like a week

E, alla fine, eccomi qui a pensare come riassumere in poche righe la tappa Malese. E come si fa? #Penang è tante cose. Qualcuno a cui voglio bene è solito di dire “Giuditta è tante cose. Tante cose Giuditta”. Rubo la fresetta: Tante cose, Penang! Già è complicato capire cosa sia politicamente: isola, definito stato federale che suppostamente sarà un po’ come dire regione, il cui capoluogo è #Georgetown. Dove stavamo noi. Poi ci sono tutte le culture che, nei secoli l’hanno resa quello che è e tutti i cibi, più quelli che nemmeno ti immagini e che qui trovi. Penang è anche considerata meta culinaria, per dirla molto veloce. Peraltro, noi sull’isola ci abbiamo pure festeggiato il #Natale e abbiamo visto la città PIENA di turisti, provenienti da OVUNQUE. Di Penang ho adorato la multiculturalità, l’energia, la vivacità culturale; mi sono commossa nel monumentale #tempio buddista di #KekLokKi E ancora di più nel verace tempietto cinese #TuaPekKong. È stato tanto bello scorrazzare in motorino, vincendo il traffico davvero impegnativo, quanto camminare nella giungla lasciando la spiaggia di Pantai Esen, resa viva il 25 dicembre dai tanti giovani musulmani riuniti per festeggiare e vivere la giornata di vacanza. Quel giorno ho visto l’albero più bello mai visto prima, enorme, fagocitante, grande. Penang non la dimentichi. Personalmente, io non scorderò mai la cena del 24 alla food court #Northam, preceduta da meravigliosa e semplice passeggiata all’ #Esplanade e seguita da messa con doppia videoproiezione, canti, canti, You tube, tantissimi sbriluccicanti sarò indiani e canti canti canti, che quasi erano anche balli. Sentirsi parte e anima del mondo e non solo del proprio paese è stata una vera e propria gioia. Porto nel cuore le emozioni vissute a Little India e Chinatown, le colazioni in Chulia Street e tante tante altre cose, quasi tutte emozioni di cui sono grata a chi mi ha tenuto sempre per mano, chè tutte qui non ci staranno mai. #giudittapills #malaysia #malesia #instagood #photooftheday #travelphotography #travel #photography (presso Penang) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmt7B-cvK4w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Transience" titola Mateusz Kuca.

"The beauty of impermanence" chiosa Gee Hurkmans.

Transience, impermanence.

Significano la stessa cosa.

Provvisorietà, transitorietà.

Ecco, transitorietà.

Dal latino "transire".

L'etimologia ci dice:

trans + ire = andare oltre.

Ecco, oltre.

Sapete, le lunghe esposizioni possono neutralizzare per evidenziare.

Succede presso i torrenti.

Se l'acqua è resa serica - cioè eterea - l'attenzione si sposta sulle rocce.

Con il cielo non è esattamente la stessa cosa.

Perché se nuvole catturate da veloce otturazione le disegnano, le stesse nuvole stemperate da prolungata apertura generano proiezione.

Sì, proiezione.

Vanno oltre, così, loro.

Questa la maestria di Mateusz, questa l'accorgimento che fa dire "impermanence" a Gee.

Mentre la capanna fa sapidamente delibare sue forme mercè luce, nuvole fuggono.

Sì, nuvole fuggono.

Palesano tempo, fuggendo.

Epperò, lo fanno con soffusa dolcezza.

Ergo:

contemperazione di neutralità ed evidenza.

Neutre perché non rivelano più lor rilevata forma; evidenti perché esemplificano il concetto del moto.

E tutto al servizio della summentovata capanna.

Sta lì, lei.

Cose attorno accadono.

S'erge scultorealmente ed imperituramente maestosa, lei.

Claudio Trezzani

From Hawkins to History: Joseph Quinn Joins A24's 'Civil War' in Dynamic Leap Into Dramatic Sci-Fi

Joseph Quinn of 'Stranger Things' Cast in Alex Garland's A24 Project

Catch a rising star and you might just find yourself amidst the 'Fantastic Four.' That’s the tale for Joseph Quinn, esteemed for his role as Eddie Munson in Netflix's cultural phenomenon 'Stranger Things.' Quinn's ascent continues as he lands a coveted spot in 'Civil War,' a film directed by acclaimed filmmaker Alex Garland, in partnership with indie powerhouse A24. Few details may swirl about the project's narrative arc, but what rings clear is Garland's signature penchant for thought-provoking sci-fi that defies convention—think 'Ex Machina' and 'Annihilation.' The anticipation builds as fans await to see what idiosyncratic vision Garland casts upon the American Civil War, the designated backdrop for this original screenplay. Amidst the smoke of speculation, one fact stands unequivocal: A24 continues its streak of capturing bold narratives and filmmakers with unorthodox bravado. Adding a cherry atop this artful ensemble is Jesse Buckley, hot off her Oscar-nominated protestations in 'The Lost Daughter.' Buzzing in indie circuits, her choice to join 'Civil War' alongside Quinn affirms the script’s allure and A24's draw. Abbas Kiarostami, whose legacy endures posthumously, injects his poetry into the project with penning Quinn’s role—a feat ensuring audiences' rapture by the gravitational heft of 'Civil War'. Venturing beyond the Upside Down, Quinn's involvement elicits intrigue given the transformative echoes of his prior screen endeavors. The opportunity to pivot from the horror-tinged high school halls to the haunting fields of history under Garland's lens promises a showcase of range and talent. With meticulous art direction, exacting cinematographic choices, and an indisputable sense of gravity that seems to hang in the scenes of Garland's films, 'Civil War' is pregnant with potential. Lensing for the Future As production gears shift into a formidable velocity, the cogs of creativity crank with fervor. Accompanied by a canvas of collaborators versed in the novel and nuanced, cinematographer Rob Hardy, who carved ethereal visuals into 'Ex Machina,' returns to Garland's side. The reunion spawns not mere repetition but evolution—after all, each Garland project morphs into its unique entity. Speculation teems with the possibility of an experience that defies simple viewing, leaning into artistry that demands engagement and discussion long after credits roll. Impatiently Anticipated The morsels doled out to a ravenous public skirt around the meatiest details of 'Civil War.' But even in this minimalist revelation, eagerness has been kindled in the kindred spirits craving Garland's multi-faceted storytelling and A24's curation of cinematic excellence. Mark the calendar. Dead set on 2024, and with principal photography initiating imminently, the canvas awaits the masterful strokes of a director armed with ambition and a studio supporting storytelling courage. Quintessentially, the marriage of Garland's cerebral backdrop to A24's indie initiative could helm a new wave, one where Joseph Quinn, equipped with the weaponry of a burgeoning Hollywood titan, might manifest his spot within the industry’s giants. Until the veil lifts, anticipation simmers. For in this dawn of redoing and reimagining, original narratives such as 'Civil War' surface with affirmation—they harbor the quintessence of cinema’s future. Read the full article
