Fistfighting

Recently leveled up my Monk for MSQ, because there's just something incredibly funny being able to say you fist-fought gods... and won. 🤣 xD

[95jezzica]

Minfillia as White Mage

I don't think this text barely counts as spoilers, but just in case this is your heads up for the following text to include some ARR + slight HW spoilers?

… but GOD i wish they had made Minfilia into a White Mage.

Like yeah, I know it was a Big Thing in the job quests that we were able to become a White Mage? The very first free-roaming one! But the job would have been absolutely PERFECT for Minfilia with her relationship to the echo and Hydalyn.

Her being a healer would also work in her favor since she' spends most of ARR mainly stuck in the Headquarters managing the Scions - so being a healer would give her something to DO there beyond managing the Scions as a boss. She'd be the one who healed injured members when they came back from their missions.

And again, Minfilia being a white mage would only further deeper her connection to Hydalyn and explain why she's so insanely good at using her Echo for it- not to mention explain why she wasn't immediately killed after being kidnapped.

Because sure, the Garleans had more reasons to keep her alive, but her being a healer would also mean she's outright VALUABLE to keep alive from their side since Garleans are basically at war with the whole world at that point. Being a healer would give her a smidge better protection once captured, because why kill someone they can use? They could easily just have her heal their soldiers by threatening to torture/kill one of the other hostages (like Tataru or Urianger) if she refused. .

Half-joke bonus: Green DPS when she's angry. 🤣 xD

The recent hot VS cold polls have made me realise that a lot of people have no idea how to cool down.

As someone from a hot country that's regularly on fire, here's some tips:

WATER IS YOUR FRIEND! WATER! IS! YOUR! FRIEND! You can transfer SO much heat into this bad boy! You cannot cool down without water!

Wrists under the cold tap. Splash your face and the back of your neck. Fan yourself.

In some countries you can buy a little handeld fan with a water sprayer.

Damp tea towel around the neck. Stick an ice pack in there on hotter days.

Half fill a water bottle with water, stick in freezer. If you use a bottle with a straw, make sure it's lying on its side with the straw side up and out of the water. When frozen top up the rest of the way with tap water and off you go.

Desperate to cool off? Wet T-shirt. Sit in front of a fan. This will nuke it, just don't get hypothermia and don't fall asleep like this.

Cold showers are also your friend in summer. Some people get psyched up by these. Personally, I sleep like a baby, so I'm good to have them before bed. Just keep in mind that it takes a bit of time for the cool to circulate, so your body will tell you that you're colder than you actually are. I find that when I have cold showers I need to step out of the spray when I think I'm cold... I'll just wait, and thirty seconds later the temperature has evened out and I actually need to step under again. Rinse and repeat until you maintain coolness even after stepping out for a bit.

If you can't do cold showers, turn the cold shower on anyway and just stick your arms under. When they're cold, lift your arms up above your head. The sensation of cool blood draining into your body is fucking weird and kinda unpleasant but less unpleasant than being hot.

Feet in a tub of water with ice. Blood naturally flows to your extremities when hot, so take advantage of this. If you don't have a tub of ice water, sticking a wet rag on your feet in front of the fan works too, it's the less powerful version of the wet T-shirt.

Drinks lots of water but make sure that water has electrolytes as well. Stay in the shade.

Keep air circulating. Fans don't actually cool rooms down, they just help transfer heat from your body to the moisture on your skin or the air via evaporative cooling.

Block north facing windows early in the morning so the sun doesn't get in. If you're in the northern hemisphere, this is opposite for you. Keep in mind that if your home is brick, the bricks will still heat up and slowly release heat into your home even after the sun goes down so this will only do so much.

If it's hotter inside than outside, close all your windows but two, making sure they're on opposite sides of the house/unit you're in. Point a fan out of one window, making sure that the doors between the rooms with the open windows are all open. This will help create a mini pressure system in your home, pulling cooler air in and pushing the hotter air out via the fan. Bonus points if you can get that fan high up where the hot air rises; even within a single room the top is much hotter than the air by the floor. Adjust the amount of open windows based on how many fans you have, but generally you want more windows with fans open than windows without fans to keep the pressure correct.

Obviously, use your common sense for these. Not everything WILL work for you, just use the stuff that does and adjust what needs to be adjusted. Some of these will be impossible to use in the workplace but others you can still use. Others are best used at home. If humidity impacts your ability to use any of these, get a dehumidifier if that's an option, or use more ice instead of evaporation.

Also keep in mind that the skinnier you are, the faster these will work. More fat means more insulation, means more heat, so you may need to be more patient with some of these or use them in combination.

Bringing this back for my dying mutuals

[sepdet]

Get long hair off your neck.

ice tucked in a hair bun = great cooling.

Or soak a baseball cap or other cloth hat that won’t be damaged by water.

Water needs energy to evaporate. As it dries, it consumes a little heat in its immediate vicinity.

Therefore any significant amount of water — buckets, wet towels, damp laundry— in a small room can cool it a degree or two, although this doesn’t work as well if the air is already humid.

This principle has been used since ancient times, from wet blankets hung over doors in ancient Egypt to the “swamp coolers” of the southern U.S. before modern AC, to modern “evaporative coolers.” And, of course, it’s the function of sweat.

[95jezzica]

Fellow people with breasts: Put on that sport bra, wrap a thin towel around a bottle of ice, and then stick that badboy between your breasts. You will thank me later.

Also, Have a few frozen bottles ready so you can switch out the bottle once the ice melts.

Also, melted ice is water. Drink it before refilling and freezing it again. Nice and cool water.

.

Bonus:

Many countries are experiencing water shortages in this heatwave. Remember to STOCK UP ON BOTTLED WATER just in case the tap literally runs out!!!

Hi, I would like to hear more about ScotNor! What got you into the ship? When do you think they met or started dating? 💚🐢

Always happy to talk about ScotNor! 💖

I begun shipping it after I did an exchange semester in Scotland, inspired by my interactions with locals when they heard I was from Norway. A lot of people seemed to light up and go on about how much they liked Norway and how similar our countries were.

After Scotland became canon I also think their canon personalities and looks mesh really well, and regardless of if you ship ScotNor or not, no one can deny they'd be very good friends based on history alone.

Norway and Scotland definitely met for the first time during the 800s. Norway did a lot of exploring west and were the primary Scandinavian visitor in the northern parts of the British Isles. Perhaps it was the one place he'd even stay for longer periods of time besides his own land. They clased a bit in the beginning, but ultimately they were curious about each other, and a friendship gradually developed.

The friendship had its struggles when Norway suddenly couldn't travel much anymore due to being sick after the Black Plague and then being under Denmark's control for four centuries. Scotland similarly fell into a union with England and had to take a step back.

I believe they rekindled their friendship during the 1800s, when Norway gained more independence under Sweden and cruise ships started passing between the two of them. They became especially close during wwii, when Scotland hosted the Norwegian army, refugees, and regularly collaborated with Norwegians who sailed smuggler ships back and forth between Scotland and Norway.

After this, they've just fallen into an easy relationship where there's a lot of mutual respect and adoration, and bonding over shared similar experiences 💖 They complement each other nicely and share a lot of common interests.
