For my valentines day entry, I present pet photos for the pets of the Rainbow Bridge daycare, we have Mr. Dinkles for Biggie, woofer bug for DJ Suki, Gary and Shelliot for Branch, Perky for Poppy, Debbie for Barb, and TBDB who I have named Beat Drop for Trollex. I did some notes for them as if a staff took them but I am so sorry for my crappy english.
Mr Dinkles is a male corgi with his tail still intact, his coat ranges from a dark brown to a light beige with a diamond-shaped mark on his head. His owner, Biggie, wants the sweater he puts on Mr Dinkles to stay on as he has a bad habit of chewing on certain spots and creating bald spots due to his allergies. Mr Dinkles is mostly quiet with the occasional deep bark when he's excited.
Woofer is a female chowchow that is given a dye job every couple of weeks as asked for by her owner Suki. Woofer loves to be groomed and will cooperate in the tub, must be careful when blowdrying her as she tends to try and ear her fur. Training is currently being done as to teach Woofer not to jump up, and to remain calm when around smaller children.
Shelliot and Gary are a female tortoise and a male chameleon, both enjoy each other's company but are also fine separated. Shelliot is due for a shell cleaning, while Gary should be ready to shed soon, keep an eye out for the signs and prepare a shedding box accordingly. Update from owner Branch states that Gary needs to be monitored for possible injury after falling off of the tree in his terrarium.
Perky is a female albino chinchilla who was adopted out four months ago from our adoption center after she was found on the side of the road by the very person who adopted her. Poppy, her new owner has been taking good care of Perky, after weeks of lessons on proper chinchilla care, she was given the green light to adopt. Perky's tail has recovered well after how mangled it was when she was first brought in, the vets suggest it was run over by some vehicle or attacked by a predatory animal.
Debbie is a female bat brought in by a local bat enthusiast, when brought in she described how Debbie was being attacked by the others in her bat roost box. Although the reason for this is unknown the vet suggested that until Debbie was old enough to defend herself, Barb will need to take care of her. The few supplies she didn't have on hand were donated to her and constant checkups were scheduled to make sure Debbie was thriving. According to Barb Debbie came home from a night of flying with a missing chunk from her left ear. Everything healed fine and Debbie is in good health.
Beat Drop is a male axolotl, a rare specimen as his specific coloration is hardly seen in the wild. The owner of Beat Drop, Trollex has stated he has seen a lack of activity lately. Further observation is needed to convey a proper diagnosis. His appetite has not changed and he is in full health, upon further questioning it was suggested for Trollex to get a larger tank for Beat Drop and keep a better eye on the temperature of the water.

Ark 2 pre order
Tumblr media
ARK 2 PRE ORDER PRO
ARK 2 PRE ORDER SOFTWARE
There's the foundations of something decent here: lots of species of prehistoric animals with different pros and cons, an in-depth survival system. I'm just kind of existing in the world populated by dinosaurs. And that's how I feel when I'm playing it. Couldn't get any help with the first one because I couldn't remember the dino's name and it had been a few days (it was dead, jim), but the second one got resolved speedily. Yeah the game's support is genuinely terrible, but I only had to use it twice, once when I got a dinosaur stuck underneath the terrain (back in early access - and this only happened once) and second when I messed up with tranferring tribe ownership. A lot of the bugs people have mentioned have been fixed since well before EA, I'm not sure what they're going on about. Even if you have a good card, be prepared to turn those settings down to medium or low to get playable fps. That's ~41 days of nothing but playing this game. While it has its problems, I can't justify giving this game anything less than a 10. Now it’s officially going from tech demo to shipping product, and I can’t wait to try and get my hands on one and see how the display actually performs.While it has its problems, I can't justify giving this game anything less than a 10. Samsung’s Odyssey Ark monitor was easily one of the most notable reveals back at CES 2022, and all these months later has remained the most memorable of those showcases. This promotion runs through September 11, and will likely begin shipping afterwards. That’s $100 off when you reserve the monitor, and then those who complete the pre-order will get another $200 off. Locking in your pre-order will secure the 55-inch gaming screen for $3,199.99, an overall $300 savings. The $3,499 list price is going to be hard to stomach for some potential buyers, but Samsung is offering some initial savings today. Samsung does not specify when the monitor will officially begin shipping as of yet, but there are some incentives for those who want to score the latest and greatest right on launch day. Now available for pre-order direct from Samsung as well as retailers like B&H, you can lock-in your Samsung Odyssey Ark. There’s an integrated Game Bar for reviewing settings at a glance, as well as different modes based on whether you’re gaming, watching videos, or getting work done.
ARK 2 PRE ORDER SOFTWARE
One of the more unique software features is enabled through the Ark Dial, which lets you adjust settings on the new Samsung Odyssey monitor on the fly. We’ve seen plenty of other monitors that offer wraparound designs to throw you into gameplay, but having the option of using the display for other use cases outside of traditional gaming makes the monitor even more of a standout. Samsung then backs the Odyssey Ark monitor with a versatile stand that allows the curved panel to rotate between immersive UltraWide gameplay sessions to a productivity-focused vertical orientation.
ARK 2 PRE ORDER PRO
Four HDMI ports are also joined by other features like FreeSync Premium Pro support, four corner speakers with two central woofers, and Dolby Atmos virtual surround sound. Its mini-LED panel uses the brand’s Quantum Matrix Technology and then also sports a 4K resolution with 165Hz refresh rate. Since its reveal over eight months ago, Samsung has kept all of the wildly unique features first revealed at the January showcase.Īs a quick refresher on the stats, the monitor is centered around a 55-inch form-factor with 1000R curvature. Samsung Odyssey Ark goes up for pre-orderĪs just the latest addition to the Samsung lineup of Odyssey gaming monitors, the new Ark addition is certainly going to be the most eye-catching release yet.

#Hukum bacaan doa qunut dalam solat subuh full
#Hukum bacaan doa qunut dalam solat subuh free
So considering my last minute plan *Jumaat tghari baru terhegeh2, tp dlm hati nk wt ari Sabtu since itu je ada masa nk slot in* …and I am not able to book Serenity Spa.which cost RM335…so I just make an arrangement with Cendana Spa *thank you ibu Farah.* There’s a lot of options and packages….but of course bridal package for spa usually starts from RM 300++ for top to toe treatment and it will be 5 hours treatment…. Unfortunately, after super-duper-woofer busy with the preps, I couldn’t have my own time to have spa-session….but I still need to polish, shining, pampering, or at least for some time I do not have to think reben2, dawai2, never ending to-do etc…
#Hukum bacaan doa qunut dalam solat subuh full
I am not a kind of spa at first, until I have a very pain at my back *too hardworking with job? Or too many figure that not belong to me? Only God knows*īut after searching, and considering that I couldn’t stand with the pain…I decided to go to spa…and maybe about a year I have become customer to Okra Spa….at first I really couldn’t believe the price.but it is true.with RM 49 nett, I can have full body massage plus sauna *if not mistaken this package is no longer there, as she revised it to back massage plus sauna*Īt least I will go once a month, even twice a month….with the good service and cheap!!! Okra offer few package to cater ur needs, and it is operating in a house….but Okra do not have mandi2 and facial :( Where, when? Is it a must? …its all your decision….some even afraid to go to spa, esp it is ur very 1 st time *ehem2 maybe even the last time.?*
#Hukum bacaan doa qunut dalam solat subuh free
It is spa.*oho but then nak rilek2 pun still kena bayar.and it cost u hundred bugs,nothing free even to have a kind of relaxing time okay?* I believe bride to be reserved a kind of special treatment This book is compilation from the Pesona Pengantin mag.since the very first entry but not up to date, but I believe there will be no 3, 4, and onwards for the compilation…my late mother introduce it.and to be frank bila curi2 baca kat kedai magazine, this column will be the 1 st & must read – xkisahle ada gambar2 berkaitan kahwin yg superb dlm mag tu!Īfter hectic, miserable, super duper busy, the never ending list-to-do. So how it will look alike after day by day brain storming …? Sorry guys, I really want to show, but I just realized that I do not snap it – so I owe a lot of stories and pics…įor bride to be yg stress.take ur time to read and smile : ) Sometimes, I wonder, why must put RM1?, is there any specific symbolic? Not sure…but usually the corsage for all the people that help during the kenduri will end up with RM1 or the most RM5….Īmong all the DIY things that I have done, bunga dada yg paling xtau nk buat pe *adakah sy dh terlalu bnyk buat DIY until xde idea….then mcm gini xleh la nk wt biz kawen2.hihi* It is damn cheap for almost half a day work…if you do not believe, kindly check the person wearing bunga dada…ya inilah upah paling murah dan rasuah yg di tayang2kan…BPR leh tangkap ramai org yg terima rasuah…hihihi Note : encik tunang sila2 la train untk gambar kawen….U did well during our Bukit Tinggi Trip…ehem2 sy pun last posing masa tu jugak…Ĭan u imagine while we spend-koyak rabak poket-calculating every single cents.all the way to the wedding day, there is still something cheap? *again sy x bgtau sap e photographer sy…adakah sy ni Siti-Tepung-Biarlah-Rahsia? Not really…but I promise to disclose it very soon! haha masa mula2 bc reply tuff tu blur2 rupanya tough- mr photographer lg canggih guna short form!* Insyaallah I'd have no problems in capturing your color…… to make the color to be exactly as it is” Then, I decided to ask my photographer….and the answer “ Purple is one the tuff color for most wedding photographers. Uhuks that time I start to think do I need to change the theme colours only because of this? But wedding outfit usually have kaler yg terang2, or unless safe side choose white?Įven I discussed with my sis, she answered “la kan purple tu biru biji kundang, psl tu kot purple pun leh nmpk mcm biru”…Ha.see?…ada betul jugak kan jawapannya…. Then, I start to capture few my wedding things…and I saw that that purple-turns-to blue…wheee….maybe I have wrong lighting setting? Or maybe my camera is just only digital not DSLR?įor example below…the same outfit have 2 differ ent colours…. As I mentioned earlier it will be purple th eme wedding…*bukan sume but this will be the main colour.*īefore this, I do not realize this colour w ill look different from our eyes view compared to what the camera captured…-not every single purple, but certain hue/ tone of purpleīut there’s one time, mak andam said….her previous client have a gold theme colour but it turns to chocolate in the wedding pics….

the persistence of 3/?
read from beginning | read on ao3
Whitestone shouldn’t feel familiar to her. Percy says it’s their home, sure, but she’s never stepped foot in this city, had never even heard of it before today. The streets, the buildings, the surrounding forest and distant mountains are completely foreign to her. And yet...
The square around them is thankfully empty, save for some unnaturally lifelike statues that, after a moment of intense focus, Vex realizes are...them. Vox Machina. She studies her own stone face, and it’s like looking in a broken mirror. The features are undeniably hers, but the expression is one of such aching sadness that she has to turn away. She hadn’t considered until now that there might be things from the past five years that she wouldn’t want to remember.
She feels Percy tense when she buries her face in his shoulder. “Are you alright?”
“My head is killing me.” It’s not a total lie. Her skull is still throbbing. And the eerie deja vu of this place isn’t likely to help her maintain any semblance of balance.
“Oh, god, of course.” He lowers them both to the ground, her back supported by the giant tree. “Pike, do you have any healing spells left?”
“I’ve still got my big one,” Keyleth offers. Vex winces as a hand touches a sensitive spot on the back of her head, but the pain is quickly replaced by a flood of healing magic. She opens her eyes to Keyleth’s smiling face. “Better?”
Vex nods, grateful that the motion doesn’t trigger any pain or nausea. “Loads,” she says, squeezing Keyleth’s hand. “Thank you.”
“So, what’s the plan for tonight?” Scanlan asks, turning to Percy. “I’m assuming you’re not going to make us pay for rooms?”
“Right, um...” Percy thinks for a minute, runs a hand through his hair. “I was thinking I’d take Vex to the manor for the night, have the lot of you stay in your rooms at the castle.” He turns to Vex. “If that’s alright with you, dear?”
She eyes him warily. “Is there a reason why we can’t all sleep in the same place?”
He hesitates. “I suppose not, if that will make you more comfortable. If you’d rather stay at the castle, I don’t mind. But, Vesper is at the manor, and as I haven’t seen her in nearly a week, that is where I will be tonight.”
“Of course,” she murmurs. “Is the manor not big enough for everyone?”
“No, it is,” he says. “But, trying to get an excitable toddler to go to bed when nearly all of her favorite people are in the house?” He chuckles. “I’d have more luck trying to wrestle a bear.”
She gasps at that last word. “Trinket! Where is he?” she asks, looking around frantically. “We didn’t leave him behind, did we?”
Percy smiles gently. “He’s at the manor with Vesper and her nanny. I can send him up to the castle for you if you’d like?”
She thinks it over, finally shaking her head. “I want to come home with you.” She swallows hard. “And if it’s really been almost a week that we’ve been gone, I don’t want Vesper to think that I’ve abandoned her, or something awful like that. And I do want to meet her, I’m just-” She looks up into the foliage, blinking back tears. “This is just really overwhelming, and I don’t want to do it alone.”
Percy is quiet for a minute. “Would it help if one person came with us? Maybe Pike or Keyleth,” he suggests. “That way it’s not just you and me, but it’s not a madhouse either.”
Vex nods.
“I can come,” Keyleth offers. “That way Grog and Scanlan aren’t left totally unsupervised.”
Percy turns to Pike. “Can you fill Cassandra in?” he asks.
“Of course.” Pike gives Vex a tight hug before she sets off after Grog and Scanlan. “I’ll see you in the morning, okay? I promise you, we’ll fix this.”
============================================================
That uneasy feeling nags Vex through the entire walk to the manor. Her feet seem to remember this path, jumping over or sidestepping holes in the cobbled street that would trip her up. Percy raises an eyebrow at her after the third time this happens, and she shrugs. “Muscle memory?”
“Must be,” he says, the look in his eyes growing a little more hopeful.
“Tell me about Vesper?” she asks, hoping to distract them both.
Percy fully smiles for the first time since she woke up. “What would you like to know?”
“Anything. Everything.” She sighs. “I don’t want to feel like a stranger to her.”
By the time Percy is pointing out the manor to her, he and Keyleth have filled her in on everything from Vesper’s favorite stuffed animal (a wolf, named Woofers) to a myriad of nicknames (Nugget, Cub, Little Bug). Of course, none of this prepares her for actually seeing her daughter for the first time.
They’re outside of the manor, playing in the twilight; Trinket, a dwarf woman who must be the nanny, Rika, and Vesper. Vex freezes in the street, her breath catching in her throat. If she had any doubts left that this was real, they’re now dispelled.
She feels Percy’s hand on her back. “Are you ready?”
She shakes her head, tears spilling over. “She’s so beautiful, Percy.”
“Well, she does take after her mother.” Her heart does a wicked little flip in her chest. “Sorry,” he mutters. “Too much, I know.”
“You don’t have to apologize, darling,” she says, taking his hand. “It was sweet. C’mon.” She steels herself and starts walking to the front gate.
Trinket spots them first, bellowing a greeting. Vesper squeals when she sees them, and runs for the gate as fast as her little legs will carry her.
“Mama, mama!” She launches herself at Vex, who just manages to catch her and not send them both tumbling to the ground. Everything Percy told her leaves in that instant. Vesper is a comforting, familiar weight in her arms, and she’s fighting back tears because she doesn’t remember her.
Still, she’s nothing if not a good actress. “Hi, sweetheart.” She peppers kisses across the little girl’s face, earning a peal of giggles. “I missed you so much.”
She gets a wet kiss on the cheek in return. “Missed you too, Mama.” She starts wiggling in Vex’s grasp. “Lemme go, I catch fireflies now.”
Percy scoops her up before she can dart across the yard. “Actually, little miss, I think it’s time for your bath.”
“Daddy, noooooooo.”
He taps her on the nose, ignoring her pout. “If you take a bath now, Aunt Kiki can read you an extra story before bedtime.”
Vex barely registers what he says to Rika, or what the dwarf says to her as she leaves the manor grounds. The distant sound of the front door shutting behind Percy snaps something inside of her, and she doubles over, sobbing.
Keyleth stays by her side, rubbing her back, whispering soothing nonsense. Trinket allows her to wrap her arms around his neck and soak his fur with her tears. There’s a horrible yearning in her chest that she can’t rid herself of, no matter how hard she cries. Not that she wants to get rid of it, and that’s the problem, isn’t it?
She loses track of time, but the sun hasn’t fully set when she heaves a deep sigh and wipes the last of her tears.
“Do you wanna talk about it?” Keyleth asks, still rubbing her back.
“I feel like an imposter,” she says after a minute. “This is...everything I’ve ever wanted, Keyleth. A home, a family. Someone who loves me. Not even Vax knows how badly I’ve wanted this. And it’s all right here in front of me, and everyone’s telling me that it’s mine.”
“But it doesn’t feel like it is,” Keyleth guesses.
She sniffles, a few stray tears falling. “Is it really my life if I don’t remember building it?” she asks. “It feels like I snuck in and stole it from someone who actually deserves it.”
“Of course it’s your life,” Keyleth says. “This isn’t like one of those stupid books where someone has an evil twin that legitimately tries to steal their life. You’re still you, Vex. This is your house. Percy is your husband. Vesper is your daughter.”
“And if none of this works, and I never get those memories back, what then?”
Keyleth pauses for a moment. “That won’t change the way we feel about you, Vex. You’ll still be our friend, our sister. No one’s going to stop loving you.” She shakes her head. “It’s like Pike said, though, we’ll figure this out. We’ll fix this.”
Vex turns towards the house, scratches Trinket’s ear absentmindedly. “I wish I could believe you.”

4 Something
Tumblr media
warnings- language, threats of death, violence
word count- ~2k
a/n- I don’t have my computer so I can’t put a keep reading, and it took me a bit to make sure this part was <3 perfecto so :,) Pain. also I HATED WRITING THIS SOB YOU’LL SEE AHHH
Tumblr media
With a stir, and a dry groan from your mouth, you opened your eyes to find your arms still, holding your belt by buckle as the rest of the accessory bounded you. Now this was just an insult.
Yet, your nose twitched in anger as you widened your eyes. Gogo. He and Chenle, they both had betrayed you. And Victory, you cringed at the thought of how Victory had looked before you saw darkness.
You blinked a few times. You need to get out. You need something to get out and to save Johnny, and everyone else. To not be a dick, and get help from the Ripple.
The room around strangely smelled like raspberry tea. The top half of the walls were a dark oak wood traced and had clouds decorated in, with the sun shaped chandelier placed on the ceiling, even though you could barely see it from its dim light. You noted the red, or dark pink wallpaper that was supposed to be covering the rest of the wall, but from its decay, it turned into a mold green. You had a feeling it was perhaps just the design, and not age.
It was, both intriguing and relaxing to feel at the moment. You heard a pair of muffled voices mumble next to the door, behind and to the right of you.
In front of you, as you finally eye, was a rustic coffee table scattered with small treats, a delicate cup filled with red raspberry tea, and a letter. It read, in Korean characters, “Patience is key, he will fly in a few moments.”
You frowned. Baise was a very diverse city, an island that people would pass by on their maps. You remembered seeing it on a map before. It was between Korea, Japan, and China. A bit below Korea, to the bottom left of Japan and the neighbor to its big brother, China. Meaning nearly every person in Baise knew and could read at least more than one language. You even took your fun with Thai when you talked to Jewel.
Korean was something only- you inspected it closer by leaning in. It was only used by the Pound. In mafia terms of the Powder City, to converse you must strictly use one singular language because of the Drug War.
You remembered how awkward it was to talk to Flavour. His Chinese sucked. That was why Chenle was your spy. He was a boy from China, a son that funded and partly owned the Dream Gems.
Hopefully The Ripple should be getting here, you and Johnny, as well as Victory were high assets. They wouldn’t just leave you.
You sighed and hung your head, before leaning up to scratch your head. You gasped, and took the belt. You rolled your eyes from how tired you were, lazy enough to not even focus how detained you were.
There was a crackly sound, a cough, a voice which said an, “U-uh, oh, uh, uhm—,” with fading static in between the stuttering.
You finally leaned in to inspect the tea, scowling if it bubbled. Although it did smell like sweet honey, with pure cane sugar mixed in with its now wet leaves.
“I,” you heard a deep voice, almost growl into the speakers. It was menacing, and it echoed in the room. You sipped your tea out of excitement. “Am Eos. Boss of the Pound.”
Your eyes lit up at the taste of the drink, before gulping the rest down. It had a nostalgic feeling behind it. You swayed to the warmth that filled your body, and how it made you feel like you were running along the alleyways again with Johnny, feeing like you could fly up in the clouds.
“I am Psy,” you replied. Your mouth was now prepared to talk, and you took a crumpet. You inspected it before biting, “A worker.”
“For the Ripple?” The man said with a hiss.
“For myself. And my partner. Release him and I, along with some of the money, and perhaps I won’t try and find you and kill you,” you leaned back into the moss green sofa. The furniture had perfectly blended into the wall, and you smirked by biting some more into the snack with a crunch.
There was a chuckle, and it electrified the energy around you. “Oh; Psy, is it? I let you have this much freedom. Do not try anything too rash.”
“Well, I do want to get out.”
The mic went silent for some time. You looked around the room, making sure not to be too observant to the natural eye. You noted the walls below the wood were thin as paper, revealing brick. Perhaps you were in an old apartment building on the Southeast side?
“What can you do, Psy?”
“Hop over on drug trades, lie like I’m pretty, murder- oh disguises, I dunno, what do you want?”
Another moment. There was a door to your right, where you had heard the voices. It was painted and a thin wood. If you were to get up and kick it now, it would shatter.
“There will be a man to pick you up. He shall explain everything. Salutations, Psy.”
You looked up at the singular woofer diagonal from you. You salute it with a slight breeze to it, “Yep, pleasure meeting you Eos.”
As expected, when you finished a miniature cucumber sandwich, a short but stone faced man came in. “Hello, my name is Selen.”
“Psy,” you said as you got up, snapping your belt around your waist and you crossed your arms. “Any announcements?”
The man took a look at you before he gestured for you to follow with a ‘come hither,’ of his first two fingers. You rolled your eyes, but followed him out of the gothic room, to a moist and ugly stone hallway.
“We are the Pound. Eos is not a man who prefers to show his face, so I shall speak on his behalf. We are one of the most influential mafias in Baise, because of our spies.”
You stopped walking, overwhelmed by his extremely fake deep mafia voice, and the smell of everything you would witness in a sewer, “Spies?”
“Do I need to explain it to you lightly?” Selen asked, continuing to walk after a moment. You followed, “I am not going to be your little spy. I worked years for the Ripple. I would never betray them.”
“Flavour told us you need money.”
You gripped your belt. “W-What about it?”
“Ever wonder,” Selen opened the only door, and you widened your eyes, “How Johnny always had the money from those little robberies he made?”
You gasped as you saw a huge ballroom, and the nearly dozen of people you saw occupy it. Despite its space the people almost seemed to fill the room with their energy.
Every black tile on the floor lit up as you saw a young man run past you on your left side, at an astonishing speed, before grabbing a bow and sliding across diagonally, and shooting at a man covered in armor, hitting him in the head with ease.
Every old, and no doubt expensive, picture across the other man training, threw knives at another man on the right as he ran down and dodged, before getting out a shot gun and blowing it at the picture’s faces, not even looking.
You gazed in awe at the training facility. Not only did it have a classy energy, but it trained others to the max of their abilities. At the Ripple, you would probably fight Sushi until you both ended up in a tickle fight.
This, this was something else. Victory, Chenle, and Osaka were lined up near the entrance you had meet entered, waiting for their turn. You couldn’t breathe. Another man had begun to give them weapons, instructing them to shoot.
“Johnny has worked with us since he was 18. He said, specifically, he had no partner. Believe our eyes when Coral radioed in he had lied the entire time.” Selen chuckled a bit to himself, “Well, really, it was Gogo.”
You eyed up to the grand staircase which was above the black and white tile floors you occupied. The dark haired man who laughed pushed Johnny in a wheelchair, both seemingly fine. You pushed Selen out of the way, and made your way across, easily avoiding the traps.
The traps, so to speak, were more knives thrown at you, and you whipped out your belt around you, which caught them all in its swirl. When you snapped the belt into a club, the daggers fell out, bouncing as you glared at the man ahead.
Even as an arrow shot at you, you had turned and knocked it out of your vision like it was a simple baseball.
Gogo.
That was the name that seemed to repeat in your mind once you came out of your unconscious spell.
You had made yourself safe upon the stairs, you glared Gogo as you bludgeoned him, with all your force in the face with your truncheon. Everyone watched the man get knocked into the wall, and he groaned loudly as if it were his last breath. The people around you froze and stared.
“YOU ASSHOLE! YOU COMPLETE DICK!” You grabbed the man’s shoulders, intending to crush him as if he were a bug, before you felt a gentle touch.
“Y/n. He saved my life.”
“HE RATTED US OUT!” You turned to Johnny.
But his eyes were soft. They melted you. And that’s all that mattered. That he was truly still okay. He held your face and smiled. “Y/n,”
You embraced Johnny, and hid in his shoulder, grabbing him as if he were that teenager hiding from the cops again. He smelled the same as always. Warm, like opening a fresh cup of coffee, and sniffing the pure caffeine and vanilla mixture, with just a- a touch. That Touch of Cinnamon. You teared up. You couldn’t believe it. This was the closest you had ever lost Johnny. And it was because of the one man you had trusted.
“Y-Y/n,” Gogo spat out some blood as you raised your club, glaring at him. “Don’t you fucking come—,”
You felt a soft touch on your shoulder, and it was rubbed in.
Johnny caressed your face and smiled. “Don’t. He’s a kid.”
You looked back at Gogo looking at you. Now he didn’t look as the spy you hated.
He was Mark. He still had those same big sunflower seed like eyes, and he was so tiny. He was the same boy who giggled at Johnny telling jokes half awake. He was still a kid.
You tucked away your club back into a belt and embraced Johnny closer.
The man picked you up with ease, wincing quietly but he sat you on his lap. “Y/n, can you forgive me for ever lying?”
You paused, inhaling his scent as you felt yourself tear up. “Is that what all of those grocery runs were?” You asked quietly. Now, the young man named Mark Johnny had left, to go talk to Osaka below.
“Yes, yes they were.”
You wiped your tears and giggled quietly, “No wonder you always forget something stupid, like bread.”
“That was one time!” Johnny yelled.
“No it wasn’t!” You laughed more, and poked him. You both held each other close.
Gogo then touched your arm, and you whipped out your belt and stared at him with a faux, huge smile. “Hi, Mark.”
He blinked. “H-Hello- B-Boss, uh,” Johnny held you closer, and you narrowed your eyes, “Spit it out, traitor.”
“Eos saw you. H-He said,” he clicked something in his ear, and nodded quietly, “He wants to meet you.”
Johnny held you. “No. No- we agreed.”
“Boss said you can- er, r-roll them there.”
Johnny scowled at Gogo. He lifted you off, hissing as he got up. “I-I’ll walk.”
The two of you made your way from the door Johnny had entered, to another dim, gross hallway like the one Selen and you had to go through.
You were more surprised at the architecture of this building than the spies.
“Did you know Osaka?”
“No, I only truly knew Ma- Mark.” You carried the tall man in your arms, as he stumbled. “He and I got in at the same time. I taught him everything I knew, but, I guess I’m still not a good of a hyung than I thought I was.”
“No, he’s just a bonehead.” You aided Johnny. “Besides, I’m pretty sure if I can take Gogo, well, Flavour—,”
“Jaemin is just a kid.”
You frowned. You, of course still trusted Johnny. He did this for you. You just, it felt weird seeing him so casual to the people who, was supposed to be your enemy. You sighed quietly and gently looked up, “Do you—?”
“Yeah, my portrait isn’t watery, it’s going to be,” he grunted quietly, “kinda like, uh, like w-watery snow. I’m sorry- Give me some time?”
You smiled. Once you and Johnny had left the South side, you guys didn’t know how to get caught by mafias, or even the cops. You spoke in code. Each first letter of a word he spoke meant something.
P
I
W
W
S
Everything else that he said, due to his tone, how he sounded more casual, and knowing his voice so well you could impersonate him- you knew he meant.
Plan
Is
Working
Meaning the second part of his sentence was; It’s going to be,
Working
Soon
You sighed, “You better make that fuckin’ portrait snow.”
“It needs to be watery at least.” He said, a little distastefully.
“Fine, do that then.”
“I will.” He said forcefully, but he softly kissed you on the head.
He stopped, and he held you by your arms, and you now turned to face him.
You’ve seen Johnny scared all too many times. He couldn’t sleep for two weeks after he first killed a man. He once started to leave to be running at a beach since he had to check in on an elderly woman’s house, since her bottom floor was soon to be raised. He went into a rage when he realized his parents had moved, and left him a note saying they will be waiting back in Korea for him.
“I-I,”
You softly leaned in and kissed the side of his lips. You’ve done it a hundred times. This time, you meant it as, you will be back. “I love you too, John.”
You opened the door behind you, and you stepped in backwards, watching his presence crumble. His eyes stopped melting, and instead he looked like he was frozen as the door closed. He looked as if he had lost you, again.
The moment you walked in, your nose scrunched up. The stench of fresh flowers had grabbed your sinuses like it was in a chokehold. The room was dim but lit by a faux gold chandelier, with tiny pink wax candles, and the room, from top to bottom, was lined with flowers.
Pressed, fresh, old, molding, you stared at the maker of the scent, and the man himself.
Eos’ hair was softly curled and from his white roots, it was coloured as the dawn, as he looked through his stained glass windows. His entire body, besides his eccentric hair, was hidden by an enormous leather desk chair. His back was turned to you to gaze upon the windows. You wondered how he can even see you.
Psy, isn’t it?” His voice was more natural, but had that tone. That commanding tone of power.
“Yes.” You glanced at your belt and how it was loosely buckled.
“Come another half meter, if you can.” He said naturally.
You almost went forward, before stopping. You crossed your arms. “Tell me why.”
“I beg your pardon, little one?” He uttered, as if you told him something preposterous.
“Are you going to kill me?”
The man laughed, and unlike his voice, it was silent, and came out only in exhales, until it started to turn into a fit of giggles as he showed his hands. Long. Veiny. They grabbed something out of the air until they disappeared behind the chair.
“It is forbidden at the Pound for any spy, especially one of your standard, to see my face. Anyone who does, shall die.”
You rose an eyebrow and you sighed. “Really now?”
You’ve taken down at least six, eight if you count the small drug circles, of organizations in the city. You can name all types of mafia leaders. This one, based just off of the minute you’ve spent in his, it would be kind to be called an office, he was definitely one for the dramatics. One might even say he had a complex of which he was a God.
“Yes, now, just,” his hands were outreaches, and they grabbed a shard of glass. His nimble fingers moved it through his hand, as if he had done it hundreds of times. But, you swore you saw a glimpse of his- “One more step, little one.” He let go of the glass. Please.”
You scoffed quietly, but you did so, and bowed.
There was so much silence you started to tap your belt out of panic. It hasn’t even been 10 seconds. But you felt as if he was ogling you. Eyeing you. Undressing you.
“You’re perfect.”
“I’ll kill you.” You hissed. Definitely a man with a God complex. You wanted to choke him with your belt now.
“Hm-? Oh, forgive me, Psy,” he started to tap something, whether it was his chin, or his shoe, it echoed in your head. “I was thinking. I was going to kill you.”
“Thanks, Eos.”
“Heh, well, I was. Emphasis, Psy, emphasis is something never talked about. I bet you Mr. Money would give you a lecture on something anything but that, no?”
You uncrossed your arms. “What—?”
“Victory has been a spy of mine since the Ripple started. But he’s only a low rank in that stupid little West side shit of his. But you, no no no, you and John built something there. In that little club. And I need you to bomb it out.”
Your mouth was beginning to ache from how many times you started to sigh and scoff at the man, “Do you really think—?”
“I am a man of my word, yes I was going to, but I couldn’t really kill you. Johnny and I made a promise to each other. For you and he to leave Baise happily.” Eos’ hand showed, and it drooped in a laze, as if it was a sort of wish he never wanted to keep. “I will give you a yacht, servants, food, water, a boat out of the island if you take down the Ripple. And you’ll never have to see me, or anyone in a mafia again.”
His hand disappeared, and you heard in his leather chair, he moved, almost as if he was facing you, that his body language was possibly showing he was extremely happy. Or an extreme liar.
“Do we have a deal, Psy?”
You frowned. The Ripple. Your family. People you’ve seen at their worst. They have seen your flaws. They are your only means of happiness and purpose here.
“If I refuse?” You muttered, your arms slowly began to hide yourself. It covered you more than just cross over your chest. Your throat closed up, and you felt like shaking as Eos smiled through his words.
“If you refuse to obey me, Psy, removing Johnny permanently from your life shall be your only consequence.” The sound of adjustment, and he tapped something again. That fucking echo.
He knew he won.

   Techno Beats: Showing Off
King Trollex stood atop his Woofer Bug, scanning Troll Village. It had been a week since he had talked to Prince D, and he had invited the Snack Pack to watch him use his new Woofer Bug. (He had decided that getting one would be a good idea, since he couldn't use his other one above water.)
   Trollex spotted Poppy and Branch heading in his direction and waved. He smiled as they waved back.
   "Hey Poppy. Hello Branch. Ready to watch me make some sick beats?" Trollex put on his jelly ear plugs, preparing himself to play.
   Poppy beamed. "Of course we are! Right, Branch?"
   Branch nodded. "I Can't wait to hear you DJ pop music."
   Trollex frowned as he realized that he wouldn't be playing Techno music like he normally did.
   I have no idea how to DJ pop music! he thought, starting to panic.
   He started to consider putting off the whole show. That is, until he saw the hot pink troll he had done all this for walk up with the rest of the Snack Pack.
   Trollex started to lose focus, too wrapped up in watching her. She laughed and he smiled. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. He especially loved the way her glittery cheeks shimmered in the sunlight, making her that much more radiant.
   Trollex shook his head, stopping his daydreaming. He was here to impress her, not ogle at her.
   Poppy smiled. "Now that we're all here, King Trollex can start showing us his skills."
   The group sat down and looked up at him expectantly.
   King Trollex laughed nervously. "Well, um... actually, I don't think I can do this."
   The Snack Pack frowned. "Why not?" the hot pink troll asked.
   The techno troll's heart started to beat faster. "W-well, I don't exactly know how to DJ pop music."
   "Then why'd you invite us here?"
   "I was hoping to show you guys my new Woofer Bug and how cool it is, but then I remembered that I don't actually know how to DJ pop." Trollex looked down sadly. "Sorry for wasting your time."
   The hot pink troll stood up. "I can show you how to do it, Trollex. If you'd like."
   He blushed. "S-sure."
   The hot pink troll hopped over to stand beside him on the Woofer Bug.
   "Okay. For starters, you put your hands here," the girl grabbed his hands and placed his hands on the disc-like parts of the bug. "Then you spin."
   Trollex gave it a try, spinning the circles in various directions. Music started playing from the bug, and it actually sounded nice.
   "Good," she said. "Now we're going to play a song."
   Trollex gave her a worried look.
   "Don't worry," she assured, waving her hand. "We'll doing an easy one."
   The king nodded and looked back at their hands. His blush darkened as he took in what was happening. The hot pink troll guided his hands to start the music and spin the discs again. Then she started to sing.
   "Everybody needs someone to hold them down
   As long as you're with me
   That's how it's gonna be."
   Trollex smiled as he recognized the song, and started to sing along with her.
   "You don't have to worry cause I'll be around
   I'll give you A to Z
   And know the in between."
   The two DJs continued singing together.
   "So, come a little closer
   Won't you hold my hand?
   I can take places that you've never been
   Oh, oh oh oh oh
   Me and you together we can rule the world
   We can go wherever, anywhere you wanna go
   Oh oh oh, oh oh
   I don't need no money I'm alright
   I don't need to take no first class flight
   Only thing I need, I need, I need, I need
   Is you right by my side
   I don't need no mansion in the sky
   I don't need no fast car I can drive
   Only thing I need, I need, I need, I need
   Is you right by my side."
   The hot pink troll stopped the music, releasing Trollex's hands. "And that's how you DJ pop," she said simply.
   Trollex grinned. "That wasn't exactly what I'd call 'easy', but it sure was fun. And uh... thanks for teaching me."
   "Sure thing, dude."
   "One more thing," Trollex turned toward her. "What's your name?"
   "DJ Suki," she answered proudly.
   King Trollex sighed happily. What a beautiful name.
   "If you want I can give more lessons sometime," Suki said with a smile.
   "I'd like that," Trollex agreed.
   The Snack Pack stared in awe, watching as the two DJs looked at each other fondly. Poppy started to clap, and soon the whole group was clapping.
   "That was some great DJ-ing you two!" Poppy cheered.
   Suki and Trollex looked at the group, smiling triumphantly.
   "I guess we make a pretty great team," Trollex said, holding up his hand for her to high five.
   "Yeah, we do," she nodded, giving him the desired high five.
Sorry for the poor description, I'm trying to get better at it. But I hope the rest of it is good. The song in this story is By My Side by Now United. Hope you like the story!

Ben 10 Alien Design reviews! – Wildmutt
youtube
Our second review will be the goodest boy, Wildmutt!
Tumblr media
Wildmutt’s in-universe species are called Vulpimancers, which come from a planet that is so in total darkness, they haven’t even evolved eyes! So they have to make do with their enhanced sense of smell and hearing that gives them 3D mapping over their surroundings! And the best bit? Their gill-like markings on their neck are actually what give them their sonar and they’re also canonically their nostrils (and I think it’s implied they can even hear from them as well!). That’s REALLY cool and fascinating! Though, I gotta wonder, considering how Wildmutt’s nostrils only spread from the sides to the below of his neck, he probably doesn’t have as acute vision from head-on? It may not matter much due to how enhanced his sense of smell and hearing is, but it does bug me a little even if I really like the look of his blank face!
Also now that I think about it, if Vulpimancers are from a world so dark they have no light vision, what would be the need for their orangish fur? If it’s for camouflage, wouldn’t everything be in blackening darkness anyway? It would make more sense for me if his fur was more around on black or grey pigments; otherwise you just have some good boys with flashy coloured fur that they can’t show off to anyone due to not even having concept of colours! :(
Vulpimancers are very beastly and feral aliens, yet despite this they are actually a sapient species that even have their own languages comprised of complex growls and roars, however this language is almost impossible to translate and their vocal chords can’t emulate most other languages, the poor woofers are misunderstood! 
Another neat design detail on Wildmutt is that from at first glance and the name you’d think he’s a canine based alien, but he also has some other mammalian animal traits! For example, he has ape-like traits in his posture and large arms, and he has porcupine-like traits with his various ‘quills’ around his body. Said quills can also be used as projectile weapons (though Wildmutt can’t do this due to how young he is) and they even supplement his sonar!
Generally speaking, I really like how despite Wildmutt being a more mammalian alien monster, they still had fun with his design and not make him look like a generic cool mammal that happened to be from space or whatever. To me he actually looks alien, and an alien that’s whilst evolved similarly to some Earth mammals, has clearly evolved its own unique traits from its alien environment at that! He probably is one of my favourites for how actually strange his appearance is the more you look at it.
Also, that underbite is adorable.
Tumblr media
Wildmutt’s design in Ultimate Alien is ultimately the same aside from some VERY slight colouring and proportion changes. His upper arms and legs are now skinnier and a bit TOO skinny for a quadruped beast with super strength if you ask me. His black lips are now the same colour as his fur and I apologise if this comes across as nitpicky, but it uh... kinda bugs me, here it implies that Wildmutt’s lips are also covered in fur which is... eesh that doesn’t sound comfortable. Yes I know it sounds dumb, but like... have you seen a dog’s mouth and lips? There’s a reason why fluffy animals have a bit of skin showing around the mouth area, it’s so they won’t get any nasty stuff stuck on their lips and more easily eat food! I can’t really see it as being both the skin and fur being the same colour either due to fur and skin always being differently coloured with different pigments for each, and ‘sides, it’s good to have some colour variety in your critter!
Tumblr media
Omniverse’s Wildmutt is again the same but has regained the black lips and is a bit more simplified to accommodate with Omniverse’s style, he also has a slightly more pronounced chin, and whilst I like the more flatter look of the previous designs better, it does more accentuate Wildmutt’s bite force and I think they make him look cute! His omnitrix symbol is also now a full on dog collar that also just makes him look more cute, you almost just wanna give him a pat to the head! But why wouldn’t you have wanted to in the first place!?
I don’t really have much to say about this one other than I think it’s the cutest of all the other incarnations, though the proportional criticisms I had for the UA design also applies with this one as well.
  Overall I definitely like his design from the original series best. Wildmutt’s design I feel could use some improvement biology-wise but that’s really just me and it doesn’t matter so much for a cartoon alien dog, and it helps he has some really cool concepts going for him that are shown neatly in his design. Wildmutt isn’t my favourite design (I dunno if I really even HAVE one due to how much I like almost all of them) but I really like him and I feel he’s one of the more underrated aliens, but then again that’s pretty much the same for any of the more monstrous and non humanoid ones, he doesn’t even have a reboot counterpart! Gdi Man Of Action please give the doggo some love!

First Take Review: Audiovector SR 6 Avantgarde Arreté Speakers
Tumblr media
As previously chronicled, a move to a new residence last year challenged my undying devotion to 2-way monitor speakers. Though I had two great ones at my disposal - the Silverline SR17 Supreme and Audiovector SR 1 Avantgarde Arreté - asking these relatively compact speakers to fill a large living space with the weight and scale of a symphony orchestra was unreasonable. I needed something that could move more air, but far too many big speakers I’ve heard sound slow, discombobulated or opaque vs. a quality 2-way. Enter the Audiovector SR 6 Avantgarde Arreté (USD $25,000), which confidently assured me of no such compromises during an audition at Audiovision SF. After a bit of listening to some alternatives and the requisite spousal approval, I traded in the SR 1’s and placed an order for a pair of SR 6 AA in piano black with the intention of keeping these as my long-term reference speakers. I’ve logged about 3 months with them and while they’re still taking their sweet time to break in, it’s time to gut check: are they turning out to be everything I had hoped they would be?

Quick Take: Audiovector R 3 Arreté & SR 6 Avantgarde Arreté
Breaking in a Big Speaker: Week 2 with the Audiovector SR 6
Acoustically Treating Side Reflections: Even Better and Not as Hard as You Think
Design & Setup
IMO this is a gorgeous speaker that looks impressive in a room without being dominating - sleek and elegant, with pleasing proportions and a beautiful finish. While our room is a good size, it is an all-purpose living space for my wife and me plus our two large-ish dogs, and there was no way audiophile speakers with a large footprint or funky aesthetics would ever set foot in our home. The Audiovector was a relatively easy sell to my wife and there have been zero groans or offhand remarks about its size or appearance, which makes it an unmitigated success. The magnetically-attached grills are wonderfully crafted, muting the technical look of the baffle during more casual listening, snapping on and off with precision and sticking together for easy storage. The sound isn't bad with them on either - fractionally less open and bright, which is actually kind of nice for background music.
Tumblr media
Full-range speakers can be tricky to position to balance bass response with soundstaging, but in my room I’ve found the SR 6 AA to be very easygoing. Thanks to a combination of front-firing ports, bottom-firing compound woofer and careful bass alignment, they work remarkably well close to the wall. I currently have them with just 50cm (20”) of clearance behind them, and I have yet to pick up on any port noises. Yes, the soundstage would be even deeper if I pulled them out further, but it’s still quite satisfactory and the bass is nicely filled out without any boom whatsoever. As with the SR 1 Avantgarde Arretés, I find the sweet spot to be a bit narrow - sound is good off-axis, but you really need to be centered precisely for the image and soundstage to lock in. This is in contrast to traditional 2-way monitors from e.g. Silverline Audio or Role Audio that disappear in your room with little effort and are fairly forgiving of listening position.
Sensitivity is specified at 92.5dB/watt @ 8 ohms, quite good for a dynamic speaker. Sensitivity ratings can be deceiving (measurement methods are not rigorously standardized) but the SR 6 AA certainly puts out noticeably more sound per watt than the 90.5dB-rated Silverline SR17. I haven't seen an impedance plot or minimum impedance spec but it seems pretty easy to drive, with all of my amps sounding open and unstrained. With pop or orchestral material at moderately high volume levels I could get the bias meter on the Pass Labs XA30.5 to wiggle the tiniest bit, indicating the peaks were surpassing the 30-watt Class A bias range, but just barely. While the speakers can clearly take a lot more power (I would have loved to have the 300wpc Bryston 4B Cubed around), a quality amp of moderate power rating (e.g. 50 watts) but enough current to feed the 4 drivers should have no trouble. The Pass sounded great, I love the 55-watt Valvet A4 Mk.II monoblocks on them, and right now the 50-watt Gryphon Essence is singing away.
The Sound
Listening to the SR 6 AA strikes me as the audio equivalent of stepping into something like a big smooth Mercedes S-class, only to find it as lithe and responsive behind the wheel as a Lotus Elise. But step on the accelerator, and sure enough you will hear and feel the grunt of a big bi-turbo V-12. And most of all, it’s fun. Like a car that beckons you to drive it, there’s an aliveness and energy to the SR 6 that compels you to listen to as much music as possible. I could listen to record after record all day and night and never stop.
Coming back to less-fanciful analogies, I love how the SR 6 has all the coherence, focus and speed of the best 2-way monitors, then adds low-frequency power and dynamic ease without any sort of compromise that I can discern. At first I was a bit concerned with the 350Hz crossover point between midrange and woofer - right in the D to A string range of the violin - but I honestly can not hear it at all. The compound bass system also seamlessly integrates from 80Hz down, and all I hear is a very continuous presentation with consistent speed, articulation and tonality. This is extremely rare in my experience - many big, expensive and elaborate speakers have had some sort of discontinuity that bugged me. 
Coming back to the 2-way comparison, I am missing absolutely nothing about my previous monitor speakers. The SR 6 has even more midrange focus and resolving power than its excellent little sibling, the SR 1 Avantgarde Arreté, while sounding less dry and analytical. Much of this can be attributed to the fullness of the lower midrange which puts more meat on the bones of everything. It’s not overtly warm, but has just the slightest bit of extra juice to give pop tunes great bounce and string sections lovely lyricism. My wife noted that orchestral melodies sounded particularly mellifluous and alluring.
Tumblr media
This brings me to another point: the SR 6 simultaneously strikes me as tremendously transparent, neutral and precise, but also possessing character. It's very hard for me to describe it any one way because the common sonic labels - warm, analytical, fast, full, forward, laid-back, smooth, sharp - just won't stick. Depending on the associated gear, setup and recording, any of those above descriptors could be applied to a very subtle degree, but switch up the source material and a different set of adjectives come to mind. Going to another abstract analogy, it reminds me of a delicious mineral water - so clean and crisp and pure, but not totally flavorless. The SR 6 is never bland to my ears; sure, a bad recording still won't sound great, but the presentation never falls flat. It has a fun and engaging take on music, perhaps due to just a hair of judicious boost somewhere in the midrange, that isn't dead-on neutral, but subtle and musically consonant. This is what I find most fascinating about Audiovector's tuning vs. other ultra high-end marques such as Magico or YG Acoustics, which can be breathtakingly transparent to the point of sounding flavorless, and incredibly demanding of source material. In those special moments with the right setup and recording they certainly could scale to greater heights of realism than the SR 6, but the Audiovector just sounds consistently natural and satisfying to me.
A few words on what this speaker is not. While it certainly qualifies as full-range, it does not have an overtly “big” sound. You won’t get the same sort of easy, larger-than-life presentation that a large-woofered speaker in a more classic mold (think a big old JBL with 15” woofers, or a top-end model from PBN or Legacy Audio) will give you. If you want Louis Armstrong to sound like he's sitting in your lap, or you’re trying to reproduce a club environment in your living room, there are better speakers for that. Bass extension is deep and powerful, but the quality of the bass that stands out is that it’s always focused - pitch, timing and weight are precise and balanced. It will convincingly represent a symphony orchestra, and the throbbing bass line of Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy will have you bouncing in your seat, but it’s not shake-your-walls, send-you-into-intestinal-distress kind of bass. It is easily the most detailed and revealing speaker I have had in my room, but it is never hyped-up, instead laying the music out for you to inspect at your discretion. The superb Audiovector AMT tweeter has a lot to do with this - it is free of the typical resonant modes of most dome tweeters and has resolving power well above the audible range, with none of the peakiness of metal domes that can go from vivid to fatiguing over time. There are designs with more natural warmth, that can make a female vocal sound more magically in-the-room and human - Silverline and GamuT are two superb marques that come to mind - but they might not be as neutral and versatile across many genres of music.
The Audiovector is much more precise and adaptable than speakers which blow you away with a particular aspect of their performance. It is the sort of sound that may not stand out as much in 3 minute sound bites at an audio show or dealer, but is more accurate and satisfying in the long term. And I appreciate how it effortlessly fills my open space with sound, but never overpowers it. This is a remarkably lifestyle-friendly speaker by high-end standards and I could see it working very well in a more modestly-sized room, though if you have a small room you are probably better off saving some money on the R 3 Arreté and putting the funds towards upstream gear.
Tumblr media
The Take
As you can probably guess, I'm liking the Audiovector SR 6 Avantgarde Arreté a whole lot. A big speaker is always a risky proposition - you never know if it'll work in your room, reproducing a wider range of frequencies means more things to critique and potentially bug you, and of course there's the financial outlay. But so far, other than the need for extended break-in time, there have been zero frustrations and only delights in my experience.
As I write this, I'm listening to a lovely record of Bruckner 9 by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra with Daniele Gatti (Qobuz 24/96, Tidal MQA) at moderate volume. And I honestly have nothing to observe or say about the speakers because it just sounds good and right and I'm enjoying the performance. It's a total system effort of course, with contributions from PS Audio, Furutech, Audience and the transcendental Gryphon Essence pre + power amp, but as a music lover first and foremost I can think of no higher compliment for the Audiovector SR 6 Avantgarde Arreté.

Ooo get asked. How about you gives us a fun fact about each of your characters that you haven’t charted yet? Maybe something silly like what their favorite Minecraft block would be - the woofer, bark bark
helwo again woofer
fun facts my characters? i have under the cut. ramble of lore and facts
Cherie act all tough and cool but he is mega cringe on the inside. also he plays his game CAPTIVES hoping he will find a good ending for the Mutant MC (all playable MCs are mutants or cusps or chimeras), he doesnt know that the game is against mutants and thats why MC always dies, theres no “good” ending
Coleop is devoted to the empire and grovels to upper-bloods specifically fuscias. he may be dating cherie (mutant with rampant growing horns) but he still is a follower of the higherbloods because he himself is an olive. i dunno he has empire brain
Akrine used to hate noraxi. Not in a literal sense, he despised his feelings for her because that was before he knew he wasnt cis, its nuanced. he evbtually got over it and fell deeply in love with her and her with him.
Noraxi loved akrine from the very beginning, she had a feeling that akrine wasnt a pure violet blood simply because of his duo set of horns (obvious) she berself has mutant traits (noncullable, like her white hair and both of them have tails- but the tails in my beforus is normal.)
Cosmos is terrified that he will see Coralls walking corpse coming up the steps, drenching the staircase in fuschia, yelling at him that it was his fault (he has nightmares)
Endur doesnt realize whats happening isnt ‘normal’ per say, but he gets by. his favorite thing to do is collect shells. frequently he finds giant statues of trolls in faraway areas of the shore, algae eating at the bases
Cosmos and Cherie are very similar, being dancestors. both had loved ones who became covered in blood either because of them or they think its because of them. also they both switch their moods very fast. cherie goes from fine to raging within a second (high energy) and cosmos goes from happy to weepy in an instant (low energy)
Endur was meant to be on Alternia with cherie and coleop and chiani (noraxi dancestor) but something in the timeline went wrong and he woke up on a destorg Beforus with no memories and Atica (noraxi lusus)
Coleop has no current last name because Mun is out of ideas
Cogito is a parasitic beetle. he did not know anything until he latched to coleop, in which he gained sentience and ideas and became attactched metaphorically to Coleop. cogito began believing he was a troll even when separated from coleop.
Cogito has no name in canon, mun calls cogito “cogito” because kf the phrase Cogito Ergo Sum (i think therefore i am) in canon, cogito is called Bug, Parasite, and self-dubbed Coleop (also named Green-text coleop)
Corall is dead permanently, mun thinks she fell down the steps
Cosmos has not left his tower in 2 years. also Corall was an almost-B culler to him. it was a difficult relationship. think Ray and Rika from Mystic Messenger almost
ok thats all for now

one of my fav little details in trolls is how all their technology is just like, biological creatures... there’s this great little scene where you see that DJ makes music by literally cooking up new tapes and feeding them to her woofer bug so it can play them. i love that

I just love animals okay? Could you maybe write the papas and cardi when their s/o has a big ol'dog just a big woofer but it's not a mean dog but a big cuddle bug just please?? Thank you ( also the rat answer was adorable thank you so much ;;u;; )
Tumblr media
I mashed these, Hope that’s okay!
Nihil: Would love to have your dog around!  Having a dog around would be like a breath of fresh air for him, and make him feel so much more lively! He’d love to cuddle them and pet them and just love them all around.
Papa I: Wouldn’t mind having the dog around! Loves just how cuddly the dog is, and he would feel so much more relaxed knowing that it basically goes everywhere with you, so you’re pretty safe.
Papa II: Hopefully your dog isn’t scared by him! He can be a little off putting to children and animals, which sucks because he’s pretty good with both when it comes down to it. If he’s not liked, give it time! Your dog will eventually get used to him, and love him up just like it would everyone else. (Just make sure you save some alone time for him ;) )
Papa III: As a very romantic, sexual, and needy lover, there’s a good possibility that he’ll get a bit jealous due to all of the time you spend with your dog. Just make sure that the two of you get enough alone time together and he should be fine! He really does love your dog just as much as he loves you!
Copia: Loves your dog, but would be a little nervous to leave your dog around his rats! Once he found out that they’re just a big cuddly baby that doesn’t do anything wrong, he’d start to relax, and maybe he would even try to let your pets meet each other!

List Of Audiobahn Subwoofers, User Reviews, Editorial Reviews, Audiobahn Subwoofers Deals, Used Audiobahn Subwoofers
But no these arent ppi, they dont handle 300watts. They handle 1000, and i would guarantee a pr of those on the right amp at 1ohm or lower and your going to be bathing in bass. My final note as springer does, FU%K YOU haters. I think of Infinity as a decent priced company. Their cheap lines of speakers are a good value for your money but i would not spend a whole lot of money on their "top of the line" components. I was thinking about getting a pair of their components either the reference or kappa but i decided to wait and save more money so i bought the JL audio XR components.

Considered the first “small box” sub, these woofers would produce deep bass from incredibly small enclosures. JBL MS-8 — The JBL MS-8 was a processor ahead of its time. Not only did it have a built-in amplifier, but it could set itself up using a set of headphones with built-in microphones. Unbeknownst to most, this was the first processor that could undo signal delay on input signals. Pioneer TS-VX700 — If you wanted to add rear speakers to your car quickly and easily, the Pioneer TS-X700 speaker system would bolt to your parcel shelf in minutes. There was some neat technology in this design with an aluminum honeycomb square woofer and midrange and also a ribbon tweeter for the highs. No, not train horns, horn-loaded speakers. Image Dynamics horns and mini-horns are wide-bandwidth drivers designed to mount under your dash. The extended paths to the speaker helped produce an amazing soundstage from either side of the vehicle. What does bug me and the rest of the forum, is when you try to argue with everyboy else, when you don't even know what your talking about to begin with. But i never tried powering my home audio or car audio with a human, nor have i tried plugging one into a tv or wall receptical. Maybe we should try this on you first, perhaps if you like 340volts rendering you paralized.
The bigger sub you get, the more important become amplifier quality.
I have bought this sub very while any a lot of.
It returns perfectly under a rear chair of mine '05 Explorer.
With a square offering 27 percent more area than a circle, an array of L7 subwoofers was capable of producing massive amounts of output.
Back in 2005, Pioneer launched the AVIC-D1.
https://bestreviews.tips/audiobahn-car-audio-subwoofers_317925/ Defiantly Recommends to take the different sub if any access of the to the jigsaw, grinder, sander, etc. They touch utmost, the calm mark sure dipped him in a right box. Has Purchased these subs and right out of a box all could listen was rattle. It has been to return them to discover that I am not returnable... A box and the speakers are very good.

Well, OK, attempting to defy those laws is fun. The T15kW 15,000-watt, four-channel amplifier included a large bank of energy storage capacitors that allowed this massive amplifier to put out more power than it consumed — for short bursts. If you needed a beast for your SPL competition vehicle, this was the best solution available. NAV-TV ZEN-V — As technology progresses, so to do interface solutions. The NAV-TV ZEN-V lets retailers connect conventional amplifiers to the MOST 150 system in Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche and Bentley vehicles to create amazing audio system upgrades. The ZEN-V is the first MOST 150 interface on the market.
Subwoofers And Amp Comes With Capacitor And Wires For Installation
Just to make the Audiobahn people happy I got the specs to their aluminum subs and ran a simulation on them. I'm not going to go out and find a sub to actually listen to though as I have better things to do. On paper the response looked nice and smooth, especially for a very small box. They are terribly inefficient though and almost any other sub I ran it against, with the exception of only a couple of others, was far more efficient. Oh, any you couldnt really hear my sub outside of the truck when i rolled up the windows...but the guy w/ the guys car with the 15's rattled like crazy. Their amps aren't the biggest problem. For the money they're not the worst things in the world. I would rather spend 300$ on lanzar than purchase anything jl/kicker/mtx/fosgate. I did far better just being the installer on our competition cars than I did with my own car. I never had enough time to put into my own vehicle since I was always working on the others. I spent so much time on some of those cars that I consider them mine. Over the years, Audiobahn has been known just as much for its lifestyle marketing as it has for its line of exceptional car audio products. Discover high-end and effective models with the finest adjustment controls to help you achieve sound quality that meets your space's compensation and personal tastes. It is lower that an electrical guitar of basses, likes mine, he so only to to the sounds like to them the noise. Yeah, Is fresh to feel your @@@cofre that vibrates, but ossia the novelty and an entertainment of him raisin is gone in roughly 5 minutes. With which that you so only have the headache. Ossia My fourth superficial / slender subwoofer setup. I am listening to all some old jams again because they touch awesome with my new sub.
