‘this ain’t no hymn’: outline, chapter titles, and spoilers

Hey y’all. I’m still working on ‘this ain’t no hymn’ even though it’s been a while. I’ve decided to give y’all a revamped outline complete with chapter titles in order to tide y’all over until the next chapter is posted. 

ORIGINAL OUTLINE: So at the end of the first game, when Balder is explaining his evil plan in the tower, Bayo’s memories of her trauma (her mother dying, all the abuse she faced from the other witches, Jeanne’s manipulation and apparent “death”) all come flooding back. She transforms into her panther form and mauls Balder to death before he can even finish his speech. Little Cereza is obviously freaked out by her supposed mother brutally murdering her father. Bayo, horrified by what she’s done, flees the scene. The whole Jubileus fight never happens. Luka shows up to save the day, only to find little Cereza, who tearfully tries to explain what happened. 

Luka fits the pieces together and realizes that Bayo isn’t a bad person, despite murdering Balder. Luka takes little Cereza and ends up running into Jeanne who’s brainwashed spell has broken after Balder died. They both fill each other in on their sides of what’s going on. (Also in this AU, Bayo and Jeanne were a couple before Bayo was sealed away in the lake). Jeanne sends little Cereza back to her time, with some words of wisdom from herself and Luka. The two of them then stop at The Gates of Hell to fill in Rodin and Enzo on what’s happened. The men are both concerned for their friend, even though they don’t show it much and agree to help look for her. A year passes with no sign of Bayo. Jeanne is beginning to give up hope, even with Luka trying to keep positive. Bayo, meanwhile, has been chilling in Noatun, fighting the occasional angel, but mostly keeping to herself. 

She worries she is a danger to others, and has some pretty sever C-PTSD. After hearing about a huge, mysterious angel attack at Noatun, Jeanne and Luka decide to check there for Bayo. They find her trying to wrangle Gomorrah, who isn’t following her orders. Just as Bayo is about to get her soul knocked out, Jeanne charges forward, and saves her. Jeanne’s soul is taken to Inferno. Bayo has a panic attack, both at being found, and at Jeanne being taken away again just when she found out the other witch was still alive, seemingly by her fault. Luka confronts Bayo after she calms down. 

Bayo confesses her feelings and trauma to him and he reveals what he and Jeanne have been up to. He’s tempted to reveal her and Jeanne’s past as lovers, but decides it’s not his place. He takes Bayo to The Gates of Hell, where he, Rodin, and Enzo convince her to try to save Jeanne before it’s too late. While on her journey, she runs into Loki, and sees her younger self in him (an unsure, queer (Loki is trans, I don’t make the rules) magical youth all alone) and agrees to help him, so long as he doesn’t interfere with her plan to save Jeanne. The two of them bond, and share what they remember about their pasts with each other as they adventure. 

The events of the game mostly play out the same, only with Bayo much less sure of herself, and Loki much kinder to her. Until we get to the fight with Alraune. Bayo feels such an intense rage fill her at seeing Jeanne’s soul trapped in Alraune, akin to the rage she felt when she killed Balder. She takes a deep breath, and channels it into defeating Alraune. She is seemingly too late to save Jeanne, and almost has a break down, finally remembering their past as a couple, and realizing her feelings for Jeanne are still there. However, right when she’s about to give up on Jeanne, the other witch comes to. 

Events continue until we get to the part where Bayo discovers that the masked sage is past Balder. She’s extremely shaken at seeing him, especially since he’s not evil yet. She tells herself that she doesn’t kill him to avoid creating another time loop, but in reality she wants to understand how he could turn from a kind family man to a genocidal monster. 

Jeanne, Balder, and Bayo all fight Aesir together and manage to defeat him. Balder absorbs the evil part of Aesir. Bayo confesses to Balder that she eventually kills him, but Balder forgives her and tells her he loves her, and to live for the now, since she has so many people in her life who love her too. The last bit he says while looking at Jeanne. 

Bayo and Jeanne hold hands while Balder is taken away through the portal. Bayo, Luka, Jeanne, and Loki all have a moment of relief after everything they’ve been through, with Loki deciding that he wants to take a break from being a god, and just be a kid while he still can. 

Time skip! Bayo is exiting a therapy appointment, and heads home to Jeanne. They share a kiss and an ‘I love you’. She is now rocking her Bayo 2 design, to signify her moving on from the past. Her trauma is something she will continue to carry with her, but she has the help she needs, and, finally, after so many years alone, a life full of people who love her. The end.

CHAPTER OUTLINES AND TITLES:

Chapter One: ‘you look exactly like my father‘:  After Jeanne’s death, Bayonetta finally confronts the Lumen Sage.

Chapter Two: ‘running with my roots pulled up‘:  Six months after Luka and Jeane team up to find Bayonetta, there's still no sign of her. Until they hear about a rise in angel activity in Noatun, that is.

this ain’t no hymn

Hey remember my Bayo AU (https://celestial-vapidity.tumblr.com/post/634979690149543936/110-so-at-the-end-of-the-first-game-when)? Well I’m writing a fic of it. 

Title: this ain’t no hymn

Summary: Bayonetta has no choice but to run. Jeanne has just broken free. Luka is just worried for his friend. OR an AU starting at the first game at the beginning of Chapter XVI: The Lumen Sage, and continuing through the entirety of the second game, in which mental illness exists and everyone is a lot gayer. I know these games are several years old, but don't read if you don't want spoilers for either game.

Understanding the Tanh Activation Function: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction:

The tanh activation function is a widely used mathematical function in the field of artificial neural networks. It plays a crucial role in transforming input values into output values within the desired range. In this blog post, we will explore the intricacies of the tanh activation function, its advantages, and how it can be leveraged to optimize machine learning models.

Understanding the Tanh Activation Function:

The tanh activation function, short for hyperbolic tangent, is a non-linear function that maps its input to a range between -1 and 1. It is symmetric around the origin, which means tanh(-x) = -tanh(x). This property makes it suitable for modeling symmetric data patterns.

Benefits of the Tanh Activation Function:

Non-linearity: The tanh function introduces non-linearity into the neural network, enabling it to learn and represent complex relationships between inputs and outputs.

Symmetry: The symmetric nature of the tanh activation function allows it to capture both positive and negative values effectively, making it ideal for tasks that involve balanced data distributions.

Smoothness: Unlike the step function, tanh provides smooth transitions between its outputs, facilitating more stable and continuous learning in neural networks.

Usage of Tanh Activation Function in Neural Networks:

The tanh activation function is commonly used in various parts of a neural network, including hidden layers and recurrent neural networks (RNNs). Its ability to handle both positive and negative values makes it suitable for modeling intricate data patterns and avoiding the vanishing gradient problem.

FAQs about the Tanh Activation Function:

Q: Is the tanh activation function suitable for all types of neural networks? A: While the tanh activation function can be effective in many scenarios, it may not be the best choice for networks with highly imbalanced data or networks that require outputs outside the -1 to 1 range.

Q: How does the tanh activation function differ from the sigmoid function? A: The main difference lies in the range of outputs. While the sigmoid function maps inputs to a range between 0 and 1, the tanh function maps inputs to a range between -1 and 1.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the tanh activation function is a valuable tool in the realm of neural networks. Its non-linearity, symmetry, and smoothness make it an excellent choice for modeling complex data patterns. By understanding the strengths and limitations of the tanh activation function, you can leverage it effectively to enhance the performance of your machine learning models.

Remember, choosing the right activation function is crucial in building powerful neural networks. The tanh activation function offers unique advantages and should be considered when designing models for specific applications.

By incorporating the tanh activation function into your neural networks, you can unlock their full potential and achieve better accuracy and generalization in your machine learning tasks.

Coming soon the @instruomodular tanh[3] tanh[3] is a three channel, all analogue, waveshaper that takes an input signal and outputs the hyperbolic tangent function [tanh(x)] for that signal. In more useful terms, it adds curves to a signal! Traditionally the circuit is used to shape a triangle wave to a sine but when used with more complex signals it behaves as a single knob limiter. #BlickenSynths #Instruo #tanh[3] #waveshaper #ComingSoon #Eurorack #Modular #ModularSynthesizer #ModularSynthesizers #ModularSynth #ModularSynths #ModularSynthesis #Synthesizers #Synthesizer #Synths #Synth #SynthPorn #ElectronicMusic #ModularIsLife #UK #Webstore #InternetShopping #ShippingNow https://www.instagram.com/p/BwMWPCwFdDk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=anozr0lp87r7
