Does anyone know if there is a model somewhere for the lady in the far left? She appears in the Story Mode cutscenes in Sub-Zero and Kung Lao chapters, as well as in some of the first trailers, sitting next to Shao Kahn's throne in the arena
I'm asking since there is a model for the girl that appears in Shao Kahn's victory pose and the NPCs from the challenge tower, so I wanted to check
The war is not over !!!!!
Gaza is still bleeding !!!!
Donation link for a family from Gaza
People keep saying there’s a ceasefire but every single day we wake up to another explosion, another family destroyed, another name added to the list of martyrs. I’m writing this because the world thinks Gaza is “calm” now.
It’s not. The bombs didn’t stop. The drones didn’t stop. The funerals didn’t stop.
During this so-called ceasefire, dozens of people were killed. Homes were burned. Children were pulled from under the rubble. You’ll see the photos I’m adding below - all taken during the “pause”. This is what our reality looks like.
My own family is suffering too. We lost relatives. We lost our home.
312 Palestinians have been killed, entire families wiped out during a time that was supposed to bring safety.!
Here is the donation link for my family’s emergency fund:

Thank you for not looking away.
Thank you for keeping Gaza alive in your heart.

My Take on the Cloths
In the franchise, it's pretty clear that the 88 Constellations that Athena´s Saints represent were established since the Age of Myth, especially in Time Odyssey
The problem is that about half of the current official constellations were observed by Ptolemy, and the other half were established from 1536 onwards, meaning that half of the first generations of saints were protected by a guardian constellation of animals or things that hadn't been discovered or invented yet
While the argument could be made that it was thanks to Athena´s foresight into mankind´s future, I came up with some headcannons that my hyperfixation came up with last week (marked with HC), as well as to point out what some constellations are meant to represent that I believe aren't that well known
Aquarius - Ganymede, son of the Trojan King Tros and cupbearer of the Gods
Auriga - Erichthonius of Athens, chthonic son of Hephaestus and raised by Athena
Boötes - Icarius of Athens, the shepherd who welcomed Hermes to the city before being killed by his own servants
Capricorn - Pan the God of the Wild, in the disguise he took as the monstrous Typhon assaulted Olympus
Centaurus, Pholus of Mount Pelion, the centaur accidentally killed by Heracles´ poisoned arrows after Chiron´s death (HC)
Corona Australis, the golden laurel wreath worn by Chiron, which was the symbol of his immortality and divine lineage
Corona Borealis, the crown of Princess Ariadne of Crete that shone bright and showed Theseus the way out of the Labyrinth
Corvus, the white crow that informed Apollo of the infidelity of his infaithful lover Coronis, and was turned black in his rage
Crater, the cup in which Apollo had commanded the now black crow to fill with water, only for it to satisfy its own needs first
Draco, a dragon killed and tossed into the sky by Athena during the Gigantomachia, or Ladon, the guardian of the Hesperides
Equuleus, the swift foal Celeris, and either the offspring or little brother of the legendary Pegasus
Eridanus, Phaethon, son of Clymene and Helios, who lost control of his father´s chariot and carved the Eridanus River into being
Lepus, the hare which the hunter Orion had chosen as prey, right before he was killed by Scorpio
Libra, the scales of balance held by the Goddess of Justice, Astraea
Lupus, the destructive and vengeful Apollo in his title of Lycaeus or the wolves said to accompany Artemis in her hunts (HC)
Piscis Austrinus, the Great Fish that drinks the water spilled by Aquarius as he serves it from the celestial vault
Sagitta, the arrow that Heracles used to strike down the eagle that devoured Prometheus´ liver on Zeus´ orders
Triangulum, the Isle of Sicily which was formerly known as Trinacria due to its shape and related to the upper-case letter Delta
Virgo, the Goddess Astraea herself or Erigone, daughter of Icarius of Athens, who hanged herself in dismay of her father's murder
Coma Berenices, Berenice II of Egypt, who dedicated her tresses of hair to the gods if her husband Ptolemy III returned safely home
Dorado, the goldfish, or Xiphias, which means swordfish
Grus, the crane that due to its closeness to Piscis Austrinus, tries to catch it as it drinks from Aquarius' amphora (HC)
Hydrus, the snake accused by Corvus of having drunk from the cup that Apollo had ordered him to fill before he went to eat figs
Musca, the gadfly which stung Pegasus and killed Bellerophon, or the Goddess Metis turned into a fly and was then eaten by Zeus (HC)
Pavo, the peacock, which is the symbol of the Goddess Hera after her servant Argus Panoptes died while following her orders (HC)
Phoenix, the bird resurrected from its own ashes, said to Achilles by Chiron that each of their lives is 972 times that of men (HC)
Volans, the flying fish that was depicted to swim around the Argo Navis (HC)
Camelopardalis, the giraffes of Aethiopia, were named so due to their camel-like bodies and leopard-like spots (HC)
Monoceros, the unicorn which the Greeks writers of natural history claimed to exist on India, was described as wild asses (HC)
Canes Venatici, either the hunting dogs of Boötes or those of Actaeon, who killed him after Artemis turned him into a deer (HC)
Lacerta, the lizard or gecko that the boy Acalabus was transformed into after mocking Demeter while in disguise (HC)
Leo Minor, the Lion of Cithaeron, was hunted by Alcathous to marry Princess Evaechme of Megara and become king (HC)
Scutum, Shield of Ajax the Great, the hero who wielded a magnificent shield of seven cowhides and a layer of bronze (HC)
Sculptor, Pygmalion, King of Cyprus, was rewarded by Aphrodite for his devotion by bringing his masterpiece, Galatea, to life (HC)
Mensa, the Table Mountain in South Africa's Cape Town, was named by Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille, as well as 13 other constellations
Carina, Puppis, and Vela, the Keel, Poop Deck or Aft, and the Sails of the Argo Navis

This post is committing crimes (see y'all later lmao)
This quiz helps you figure out how the fandom would see you if you were a fictional character in a piece of media.
I didn't see it coming but I totally agree
have you ever read a fanfic so good that you wanted to write a fanfic about that fanfic, but was too shy / too intimidated to ask for the author’s permission and too afraid that your writing wouldn’t be half as good as theirs and that it would be an insult to their work that was basically a literal masterpiece, so you just sat there fantasizing about their work and how beautiful it was and how you wished you could just eat it and how you wished canon could write your blorbos half as good as this writer did and how you just wanted to cry because you just loved that fic so much????
reblog if you are always ok with someone writing fanfic of your fanfic
So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.
AI art bros are big mad about it.
Seeing as Twitter is gonna legally steal your work now, please use glaze to protect what you make.
Guys did you hear about Nightshade?
Using both Glaze and Nightshade would corrupt the generation of pictures mimicking artist AND mess with the AI's recognition of what everything is. Like it would generate a dog when you ask for a cat.
And it would be hell for AI bros to remove the cloaked pictures from their database ʕ 👀人ʔ
I have just realized that the only form in Star Wars media in which Anakin Skywalker CAN become a Jedi Master is in the Episode 3 videogame
I only noticed this because I happened to make a video about the 90s Jojo OVA a little while ago, but there's a reference to it in episode 21 of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2! (This shot)
The animators were fighting for their damn lives (on this episode particularly, it seems like) but they still had time to put in a reference to an old classic!
Prompt I came up with while listening to...
His Holiness knows of this place and what it was practiced here
That much they told us on the way here on the eve of All Hallow´s Eve
Everyone in the village had visited the local graveyard before entering the nearby catacombs as if it was Sunday´s mass
We followed them, not really caring if we were seen or not, they didn´t seem to mind us and after a couple of lefts and rights we arrived to a massive chamber of sculped stone, not unlike a great dancing hall
This was what my mind came up as the people were dressed up comfortably for such an event and some of them took up to the stage that I just realized it was in the middle of the floor
One detail that rose my immediate suspicion was that the bards were actually necromancers, I was about to demand them to surrender before our authority before I was stopped by my fellow inquisitors
They bid me to calm down, sit, and listen
For the moment were we would be needed would be truly evident IF it came to pass
Every one prepared and held their breath, as the first notes of melody started to play
Never having heard such music before, I did as instructed, and saw something that could only be called as hauntingly beautiful
The villagers started to dance at the pace of the tune: fast, but not too fast for them to loose their step, and all of them at their own pace of the music at play but still dancing as if with an invisible partner that knew exactly how to keep up with them
As the tempo of the band rose, so did my perception of what was truly going on
The people here did had dancing partners
First as pale as the morning mist, then of an ethereal green, they all looked the same, they were all ghosts here to commune in this plane once again
Risen from the grave and undead... yet with no ill intent
Old husbands saw their partners once again and young boys held their sweethearts as well
All of them simply let the tune pass through them and let it take away all the pain away, speaking what was left unsaid when death saw fit to take them away
And then the tune slowed its pace for those not yet ready to take the stage had feelings to express
Orphans finally met the eyes of their fathers that had gone to the crusades and children were quickly led to meet the mothers that they had never met
The music soon turned into a more soothing and calmed tune for a brief moment of peace before rising up and down once again
As if to say that the time for this to end was soon on them
Just as some of them step away, others still held on to the dead, and the moment for them to act was there
Dancing with each other to make way through those passed away, they broke off the living from the dead and kindly bid them farewell, s the music started to rise and rise for the miracle to end
The band guided the dead as if they were the pied pipers though the gates that had led them to the hallowed place and it was only the sound of a trumphet from the other end that told to all of them, that All Hallow´s Eve had came and went
...
As they left the village in a different silence from the one they had brought with them, the leason he learned was clear to them once again
That every power on this earth could bring pain and death just as it could give peace and rest
And it was up to them to ensure the balance between them
You are working the gate in the afterlife and for the first time ever, something the humans built has shown up to be processed. You’re not sure what to do, this… entity shouldn’t have a soul, but here it is in front of you, freshly dead and awaiting the next life.
It’s not as exciting as it sounds, working at the pearly gates.
Sure, it’s satisfying to send the hypocrites and the assholes to hell. And it’s nice to see the ones who thought they were beyond redemption walk through into paradise.
So yeah, it has its perks. But not exciting. I mean, after the first million souls or so they all blur together, you know? You never get anything new. Animals all get sent right on through automatically and there’s nothing other then humans in our jurisdiction. Oh sure, there’s life other then humans. But that’s no my department.
I keep tads on humans on my lunch breaks. You’re a damn fascinating species, better then anything your “television” puts out. Although The Good Place was a little too relatable, I’ll give you guys that.
Anyway, one of my favorite things you guys came up with was the Space Race. I mean, what a nail biter! And it was so tense up until the end. Pity about those Apollo one guys, though. But I heard they got a kick out of watching the moon landing when it did happen.
Course, that sorta died down after a decade or so. Don’t know why you guys quit going to the moon.
And then you decided Mars was the place to be and started sending out all those rovers of yours. Not nearly as exiting as going yourselves, but as you all like to say, baby steps.
The rovers were surprisingly fun to watch. For mindless robots, they’ve got a lot of spunk. So I’d check in every once in while, but mostly I watched Earth. You guys had figured out how to work memes and it was a very amusing thing.
I was half way through a shift when it go here. I have no idea why none of the others I processed mentioned the thing, but death is confusing enough I guess.
It shouldn’t have been there. I want to make that clear, by no law of the universe should that thing have had a soul. You humans are where closer to making actual AI then you are sprouting wings. And you never even tried with this! Its job was to collect rocks!
And yet there is was, beeping up at me.
It didn’t look like a human soul. Or any other form of life that I had ever seen. It wasn’t damaged at all, or even afraid. That was the weirdest thing. You humans are always scared shitless by the time I see you. But this thing wasn’t. Even a little. It was just… curious. Like that’s all I could feel from it. Pure wonder.
I blinked a bit before flipping through my files, seeing if it was a new species or something. I found nothing, of course. Those idiots over in records never give us anything useful.
So I did the only thing I could do. I asked its name.
Now, you humans have come up with so many ways to say the same thing that I’ve had to learn a lot of languages to keep up. The newest was binary, which I never expected to actually need.
It came in handy, since that’s what the thing answered back in.
01001111 01110000 01110000 01101111 01110010 01110100 01110101 01101110 01101001 01110100 01111001
Opportunity.
I remembered that name. It had popped up in new reports regarding a Mars rover that went out of commission, sending the final message “my battery is low and its getting dark.” before dying.
Humanity had cried over it for a solid couple of days. You guys really like personifying objects.
But I had dismissed it as just that. But here it was. Waiting patiently for me to send it On.
I could just opened the gates and sent it through and put from my mind. Make the thing some else’s problem.
I didn’t.
I stood, crossed in front of my desk, and put out my hand to touch the strange soul.
Opportunity didn’t feel human. Nor animal. It felt…. simple. Calm.
I could feel an awearness of the love its chief engineer had felt for it. The pang of missing the workshop back on Earth where it had been built, during long nights on Mars.
It had dreamed. Dreamed of humans making it to Mars and finding it. Of it’s engineer taking it home and repairing it. Dreamed of exploring Earth as it had Mars.
I could purpose, and curiosity in its mission. Lonely as it was, it never doubted its purpose or resented its lot in life. It got to learn, and to see what had never been seen. What more could it ask for?
I could feel one tiny spec of fear. Near the end of its life, it realized it would never go home. Never see Earth or its engineer again. That it would die alone on Mars.
And like all things with a soul it did not want to die. It cried and mourned and begged to live. It was alive! It had a home and it wanted to go home! So badly did it want to go home.
But there was nothing to do, of course. Even its engineer, whom it loved so dearly, couldn’t reach Mars and bring Opportunity home.
It had watched one last sunset, and sent one last message.
A goodbye. And a plea to be mourned, if it could not be saved.
I withdrew my hand and looked over the soul. It looked up at me.
For the ones that I send upstairs, I take the form of whoever loved them most in life. I guess in that moment, I was in the form of an engineer at NASA. Opportunity seemed delighted to see me.
“Welcome home,” I gestured to the gates that swung slowly open behind me. “I missed you.”
It beeped out a single phase, 01001001 00100000 01101101 01101001 01110011 01110011 01100101 01100100 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01110100 01101111 01101111
I missed you too.
Before going forth, to explore the next life.

I am crying at work over an opportunity robot fanfiction. Humans are incredible.
Thoughts on Things #3
This may be based too much on the film but, every time that the Basilick attacks, and all the spiders run away; they all run to the Forbidden Forest
This seems to me like they were ALL Acromantulas
Which leads me to the question: if Hogwarts was ALREADY infested with teeny tiny Acromantulas, WHY THE F*** DID THE SCHOOL HAD AN ISSUE WITH Hagrid having one as a pet?!?!
Sure, it may have to be released once it invariably grows too big, but why try to kill it when you place is already crawling with them?
Thoughts on Things #2
The sea is vast and beautiful but is also unfathomably deep and mysterious
The depths of the earth are too dark and treacherous to behold in awe
Space, is too great and too distant for many to reach in their lifetime
But the Horizon, will always be there for everyone, so long as they wish to look foward to a new day
Thoughts on Things #1
People don´t fear death becuase of it been the end as far as they know; they fear that with it, everything they have done in life will become meaningless
Invasive thought of the night: the worst thing of having nothing to do, Is to realize which mistakes led you to have nothing to do anymore

He can offer you the next season, book or whatever you want from a timeline in which the author, writers or studio didn´t mess up the ending or the plot and give a satisfactory ending to things AND the time to enjoy it at your leisure after getting the job done
And you would know then and there that this timeline sucks becuase the author, writers or studios of this one didn´t think of that or they did but were so full of themselves not to do it, see it or they died before doing so
