BestBuildz is my name, decided to make an ultimate sun team, it's a start but i think it's getting somewhere..
A lot of people get Monotype and Weather Teams confused, a monotype is when you're using the same typing consistently while a weather team is when you're using a main typing, but also using other mons that benefit off said weather. This is my Ultimate Sun Team (Scoll down to the bottom there's more :>)
Koraidon @ Heat Rock Ability: Orichalcum Pulse Tera Type: Dragon EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Collision Course - Dragon Tail - Heavy Slam - U-turn
Lilligant-Hisui @ Focus Sash Ability: Chlorophyll Tera Type: Poison EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Solar Blade - Close Combat - Ice Spinner - Victory Dance
Torkoal @ White Herb Ability: Drought Tera Type: Fire EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Eruption - Earth Power - Rapid Spin - Shell Smash
Cinderace @ Life Orb Ability: Libero Tera Type: Fire EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Pyro Ball - High Jump Kick - Gunk Shot - Court Change
Walking Wake @ Choice Specs Ability: Protosynthesis Tera Type: Water EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Hydro Steam - Draco Meteor - Flamethrower - Dragon Tail
Typhlosion-Hisui @ Choice Scarf Ability: Blaze Tera Type: Fire EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Eruption - Shadow Ball - Extrasensory - Solar Beam
I used Koraidon w/ Heat Rock, it's the single best sun setter in the game and it's stats are so good i didn't see the need to run anything else, along with it's ability Orichalcum Pulse which boosts it's Attack by 1.3× in sun, bros is just a beast
There was NOOO WAY i was passing up Chlorophyll Lilligant-Hisui, it's honestly the glue for the whole team, in sun it gets 210 base speed, making it faster then Regiekei, the fastest mon in the game, this meant i could invest it into full on attack, one Victory Dance and you're looking at probably the most broken mon in the game, put teratilize poison it because there's too many weaknesses, im gonna switch it to electric though
Torkoal!! Everyone's favorite sun turtle, needed a 2nd sun setter ofc and Torkoal was really the only one, usual white herb build u know the deal, i only invested into speed because i wanted to get the most out of the speed boost from SS, mainly a sack though tbh
Noticed a lot of my team was weak to Fairy, so i got Gunk Shot Cinderace to patch that up, although i was thinking Silazzle but Court Change is broken so🤷‍♂️
Walking Wake is the underdog of the team, because of it's watedragon typing it's practically an iron wall that hits, super hard, choice specs to get the most of its SpA and Hydro Steam
And last Typhlosion-Hisui, great Eruption scarfer and that's rlly it😭

“No, I’m not a spirit either.”
“But you’re a kitsune, right? I thought kitsune were fox spirits.”
“What’s ‘kitsune?’ Is it Fae for Vulpus?”
“Oh, right, I guess that’s not English. Hm. Do you know what a ninja is?”
“Well, yes, it’s a stealth class, specializing in two-handed swords with archery support.”
Shock, curiosity, excitement. Belladonna’s twin began scribbling furiously on her note paper.
Belladonna and her sister were hovering in front of a huge desk on the ground floor of Rocket’s home, behind which sat Miss Cadmea, there to tutor the twins for the first time. Miss Cadmea had no idea where to start, so opted to begin with a basic questions and answers session with the twins. And Lia, as usual, was flustering her elders with a constant stream of confusing questions.
Belladonna was thoroughly amused by the exchange.
“So, now that we’ve established that therianthropes aren’t born from animals in any way- “
“Well, technically- “
”In ANY way,” the vixen emphasized as Belladonna burst into laughter at the interruption, “are there any other questions before we begin our discussion on magic?”
“I have questions!”
Cadmea sighed. “How many questions?”
“I dunno, we’re two days old,” Liandan replied with a shrug. “A lot?”
Belladonna nodded. Lia had her odd ideas, sure, but they both had come into the world with a baseline level of knowledge.
The woman shook her head. “Okay. I’m going to do my best to educate you two, but I’ll be honest, it’s going to take a lot of learning from both of us. It’s not normal for therianthropes and humans- “
“Animals.”
“Therianthropes and humans to know English, or much of anything for that matter, at two days old. So, we’re going to have to figure out what you don’t know, what I don’t know, and what we don’t know that we don’t know.”
Wait, don’t know what we don’t know? Ow! Just thinking about something that confusing hurt Belladonna’s brain. This must be what a headache was.
“I’m with sis on this one,” Lia interpreted. “What would we know that you don’t?”
Well, she wasn’t quite right, but close enough; it was better than trying to comprehend a loop of ’don’t know don’t know don’t knows. She offered a nod of confirmation to her twin.
“The three of us have the dubious honor of being some of the few people to have ever seen a greater god, let alone spoken with one,” Cadmea explained. “I’m sure we all have questions we can help each other with. For example, Liandan, Tetra told me to ask you to explain what a ‘multiversal supercluster’ was.”
Lia gave off a brief flash of confusion before a look of understanding fell across her face, accompanied by feelings of uncertainty and suspicion. “That’s… I have an idea, but I’m sure about it.”
“You do? So, what do you think it means then?”
Lia closed her eyes and crossed her arms, clearly deep in thought. “This is just guessing because of the name, but… hrm… could it have to do with other worlds? Is that a thing?”
“Maybe. I’ve heard the idea that the road not taken in one world is taken in another. Or at least it was, before Tetra mentioned that there are an infinite number of places that could use her help more than I could,” Cadmea said. “I used to think that was just wishful thinking some people used deal with regretting their decisions. Now I don’t know what to think.”
The grey fairy nodded. “That’s about what I figured. This is just me guessing, but a multiversal cluster like that could be something like worlds, universes, that all share a few key traits,” she explained. “Like the Earth and humans coming about, Fairies being born from flowers, the system going kaput, us meeting you, that kind of thing. That’s a bit specific, right?”
Belladonna took it back. This was WAY more confusing.
“We’re constantly making decisions,” Cadmea said. “That’s still countless worlds.”
“But still fewer than it could be. Maybe a supercluster is, like, including places don’t have much in common at all. Maybe just one thing? I couldn’t guess what though.”
Miss Cadmea flicked her ears, her tails swishing behind her. “I could. It’s all speculative, but it helps with trying to see the bigger picture. Still, thank you, Liandan. It’s pleasant having such an unexpectedly civilized conversation with you. It’s a surprisingly plausible idea for a fairy’s.”
A shared irritation flashed between the twins. What was that supposed to mean‽ “Gee, thanks,” Lia deadpanned at the backhanded compliment.
Belladonna frowned. “Jerk!”
…
Cadmea and Liandan turned to stare blankly at Belladonna, who could only sense shock and surprise from her counterpart. The elder twin started to feel nervous. Was that too far, or-
A wide grin crept up on Lia’s face as surprise fell beneath a sea of giddiness. “HeheheHA!” she giggled before tackling her sister in an airborne bear hug. “OHMYGOSH that was a word! Bella!” she laughed as she nuzzled Belladonna’s cheek.
Belladonna for her part was surprised by the reaction. Lia had always known how to talk. She was a prodigy that even the king was surprised by. Belladonna could never hope to measure up.
So why? Why would one word make her so happy?
Liandan pointed at Cadmea. “Jerk!” she parroted, radiating happiness and enthusiasm as she looked to Belladonna. “Jerk! C’mon, sis!”
Belladonna blinked. She didn’t know what to think.
But then, wasn’t that what being with Lia was always like?
So she may as well go with it! Belladonna pointed at their tutor. “Jerk!”
“Jerk!”
“Jerk!”
“Jerk!”
“Jerk!”
“Jerk!”
Cadmea stared at the two fairies making fun of her. She sighed once more. “Now this? This is more like what I expected a conversation with fairy children would be like,” she groused, unheeded by the laughing twins.
“Jerk! Jerk! Jerk! Jerk!”
A chuckle escaped the vixen’s lips. She cracked a smile. “I suppose I had this coming, huh? Alright, alright, I’m sorry,” she apologized. Liandan stopped chanting at her, and so Belladonna followed suit. “Tell you what, we’ll skip the Q&A. Tell me what kind of magic you want to learn.
“Now I’m not a specialist in anything but ritualism, and there’s no guaranty you’ll have a knack for what you want. However, I had to learn a bit about everything to practice it. I should be able to give you kit’s first magic lesson on any of them.”
The fairies looked at each other. Lia shrugged. “Heck if I know. I kind of just want to learn. Like, in general,” she said. “Bella?”
Belladonna thought about it. Liandan had seemed really interested in poison to her, so she wasn’t sure why she wouldn’t jump at the chance to learn poison magic, if that was even a thing. But Belladonna wasn’t really that interested in it. Being bad to eat was nice and all, but she only valued it insofar as it was a deterrent to help them survive. It was cold comfort to take your attacker with you; you still died.
No, what interested her was the opposite. She pulled out her pencil and paper, wrote down two words, and showed them to Lia to read aloud.
“It says ‘Healing magic.’”
Cadmea looked at the purple fairy. “Healing, huh? That’s a tricky one to explain without the system. Do you know what HP is?”
Belladonna shook her head. She sensed a curious shiver run down Lia’s spine.
“It’s a measure of one’s vitality given by the system in a numerical value. Full HP meant you were totally uninjured, and if you HP hit 0, you died. Healing magic would restore HP and heal the body in the process.”
“Question!” Liandan asked, hand raised high. Cadmea gave her a confused look, and Lia sheepishly lowered her hand. Embarrassed, she asked “Heh, sorry. Is it that it would restore HP to heal the body, or heal the body to restore HP?”
“A good question,” Cadmea replied. “Until very recently, they were considered mutually inclusive, so the question itself was like asking which came first, magic or the system? But I can tell you firsthand that healing talismans still function properly, so I’d say it’s safe to say that the magic restored the body first, and the HP seamlessly updated to reflect that.”
“But then why would- sorry, that’s off topic, never mind,” Lia said. “Please continue.”
“Yes, as I was saying, general healing magic restores the body to proper working order,” the fox woman continued. “There are several different mechanisms by which this can be achieved. With a natural base, the body can grow anew, regenerating tissues or reattaching limbs. I’ve never heard of anyone unlocking it, but there were mentions in the system of fully regrowing missing limbs or organs.
“A more advanced version is healing with a temporal base. With that, healing magic can speed up the healing of the wound by hours, days, even months in the span of seconds, or it can even reverse injuries that were sustained a short time ago. “
She reached into her pouch, pulling a piece of vellum out. “This is a healing talisman using a natural base. It restores about- ah, moderately heals wounds, and apply a mild painkilling effect.”
“How does it do that?” Lia asked.
“Well, this is a miniaturized array that channels- “
“No, no, I don’t mean that,” Lia interrupted. “It’s fascinating, and I’m going to want to learn all about it too, but I mean the underlying principle behind the natural base healing magic. Does it use cellular regeneration?”
“I don’t follow,” Cadmea said. “What do you mean by that?”
“Well, if you don’t know either…” Liandan never finished the sentence.
It wasn’t surprising to Belladonna that her tutor didn’t know either. If you could heal people anyway, why would you need to know how it worked? Of course, the answer was obvious: because maybe it could let you heal them even better!
“Can I ask for some supplies? It’ll help me explain, I promise!”
“Supplies? What kind of supplies?”
“Well, I’m not sure how much of this we have around the village,” Liandan admitted, “but… dish soap, lye if you don’t have it-”
“We have it.”
“I didn’t mean-!” Liandan groaned. “No. L-Y-E. Also salt, isopropyl alcohol, and a glass cup.”
Cadmea raised an eyebrow. “I know spirits are born with certain knowledge, but that seems oddly specific,” she remarked. “I’ll ask your king if he can provide those for us. Anything else?”
“Oh, yes! Some small, flat glass sheets. Say, seventy-five by twenty-five by one millimeter? A playing card, something to punch a hole in it, a needle, petro-, no, some beeswax, tin foil, and Glue.”
Belladonna tilted her head. What was her sister up to this time?
“Again, oddly specific,” Cadmea noted. “I’m starting to get the picture here. You two aren’t exactly normal, are you?”
The violet fairy shook her head at that. “Mo.”
Drat. So close.
First Previous Next

•8yrs •female. neutered •cocker spaniel •11kg currently •UK •no previous health issues except episodes of unexplained diarrhoea and bad teeth. (she used to live with my bfs family so I had no say in a dental being done until now) Blood results - https://imgur.com/a/C8rAAjw

• Noticed fleas which turned to a skin infection with hot spots. The infection was made worse from going in the sea a few days prior (we didn’t know about the issues at this point due to her long coat) booked vet appt.
  
• She started to have trouble jumping in the car, I put this down to the sores. Her skin got worse rapidly - oozing pus and bad odour. Had urgent vet appt and diagnosed with skin infection from possible flea bite allergy but vet can’t be 100%. Given 3wks of antibiotics and flea tablets.
  
• 2wks on antibiotics skin was healing but lethargic, little interest in walks, weakness, no appetite, trembling in sleep, not getting up to greet me, acting completely not herself. Back to the vets as I was worried about sepsis.
  
• I asked about her teeth, vet agreed they’re very bad and she needs a dental when she’s well. Took blood sample. High temp and has lost weight from 12.4kg to 11.9kg. Prescribed prednisone.
  
• Blood results here: https://imgur.com/a/C8rAAjw •High lymphocytes, monocytes, potassium •Low sodium •Electrolytes imbalanced
  
• Vet said the results and her symptoms could indicate gastric lymphoma or Addisons disease. Scheduled for cortisol and ACTH test and stomach scan (ultrasound?) for next week.
  
• Steroids seemed to help instantly and her energy increased, eating a lot, wagging her tail, excited for walks. After a few days on them she started to decline again. Noticed muscle loss in her back legs (steroids?) Pawing at her mouth so I know her teeth are bothering her. Weaning her off steroids now for accurate Addisons test.
  
• Back to vets and to my disbelief she lost more weight. From 11.9kg to 11kg. Temperature normal (steroids?) I mentioned her teeth again and they stated her teeth wouldn’t make this much of a difference? Advised 1/4 paracetamol for any dental pain.
  

I get the feeling the vet thinks it’s gastric lymphoma despite her pooping like normal and no sickness. She is losing weight rapidly but also not eating nearly enough. She hasn’t much interest in her food or human food but will eat treats.
Questions Could the blood results be from her bad skin infection coupled with bad teeth being the reason she’s not eating = weight loss?
Addisons seems possible due to the unexplained diarrhoea in the past and she does get stressed easily but do these blood results indicate that more so than lymphoma?
Would the blood results indicate gastric lymphoma despite her pooping normal and no sickness? Her appetite is my main worry but I keep thinking what if it’s her teeth?
Should I get a second opinion before going ahead with the stomach scan?
How can this happen from going to the vets for a skin infection? She was running around and herself 3 weeks ago.
Am I just in denial about what’s happening? Advice on blood results and going forward please.

I didnt want to screenshot everything in my inventory + edit it and my screen-recorder is ofc not working when I need it so here we are. I'm sorry to everyone who hates reading.
Sorry I dont have that much good stuff

Hello! I am in search for a long term rp partner who’s interested in a romantic/action/adventure roleplay and just good quality time overall when it comes to a RP!
I am willing to do these pairings as they’re most familiar to me by order and preference oc x canon, oc x oc, canon x canon as well.
I write literate, third person and prefer to have at least one or two paragraphs in each response to get the plot moving but I don’t expect a novel.
If you have a craving for setting please let me know and we can probably figure something out!
Here’s my list of what I’m looking for at the moment down below!
Anime/Fandoms: Naruto Shippuden * (Boruto I have an general idea of.) RWBY* ATLA/LOK* Fairy Tail* Dragonball (Z and Super count) One Punch Man
Kill La Kill* Miraculous Ladybug* Code Lyoko My Hero Academia* Winx Club* Sailor Moon
Games: Final Fantasy* Kingdom Hearts (AU) Street Fighter* King of Fighters Elder Scrolls (Skyrim) * Devil May Cry Overwatch Persona series Huniepop Tekken* Sakura Wars Dead or Alive Genshin Impact Horizon zero dawn
I adore talking OOC and enjoy being friends with my partners! Good vibes between us etc! If you feel like roleplaying with me please private message me or comment down below so we can exchange discords.

Yeah I said it,I don't know if I'll change my mind later,but for now,I'll die fighting on that hill that Fresh is the best the franchise has offered.I actually found the fillers enjoyable.
What I like
And I'm glad they gave back personalities to the villains,my favorite villains are Westar and Northa.
Animation,the off-models aren't as obvious as in GoGo,and it's actually smooth.
The ending music,both ending 1 and 2. It seems they put their all into the music. I also like the background ost,probably because I grew up watching shows with a rock/electronic ost.
How much of a butt-monkey Westar is,always getting put in humorous situations or his plans blow up in his face such as episode 12
The lack of annoying fairies. Unlike the previous series that had Pollun and LunLun(Futari wa/Max Heart),Muup and Fuup(Splash Star,though to a lesser degree),Milk(Yes5/GoGo),the fairies here are much more tolerable here. I thought Chiffon would be annoying, but she's actually tolerable. Why did they make Chiffon look like a balding old man?💀 Or like a panda with short poodle ears.
The ending CGI dances,like I said it reminds me of Caramelldansen or Just Dance
The twist of Moebus being a super computer instead of a person.
Easter eggs
Lack of fanservice, minus one in episode 2 where we get a Miki shower scene,but I don't count that because we don't see anything anyway
What I didn't like
Love didn't give Daisuke an answer and that's another instance of unresolved sexual tension. It's what annoyed me in Futari wa and Max Heart, Honoka seemed to have feelings for Kirya,but its never resolved and Nagisa just abandoned confessing to Fuji P after Uraganos interrupts and its never bought up again,like many people, I found Fuji P boring and he was probably just used by Toei as a scapegoat to stop NagiHono shippers💀💀💀.
I heard there was to be some arc when Love says "when I become Pretty Cure, I feel like a different person",buy that's just another case of "Aborted Arc"(source:TVTROPES.ORG)
The 2D mixed with 3D. I don't really like it when 3D animation is mixed with 2D animation,if the 3D hasn't aged well it makes the animation look slightly dated,see the 3D vehicles in Justice League Unlimited as an example.
While I'm glad they kept the good old fisticuffs, they seem toned down compared to FWPC, SS and Yes5.
Why didn't this get a second season, is it because Toei was afraid of ratings plummeting like GoGo?
Off to Heartcatch next,so see yah after the reddit shutdown

So the Starter Pokemon are known for having a standard Overgrow/Blaze/Torrent and a Hidden Ability. But what if you can fill in the missing Ability 2 slot? Or even replace Overgrow/Blaze/Torrent? I'm going to avoid using abilities featured in Mega versions or other Forms for this theorycraft just for variety.

• Venusaur could have Flower Veil to make it unique since only Fairy types have it right now. Or either Seed Sower or Harvest.
• Charizard could get Berserk, if it gets furious its tail flares up and it would go with the Sp Atk focus. Aerilate for gaining wings.
• Blastoise could get Shell Armor and Sniper.
• Meganium could get Aroma Veil (to prevent its support moves being Taunted) and Grassy Surge (stats/movepool are more supportive and it can revive plants and grass). Or Natural Cure.
• Typhlosion could get Drought and for flavour either White Smoke or Aftermath (it creates explosions).
• Hisuan Typhlosion could have Flame Body and either Wandering Spirit or maybe Purifying Salt (not exactly salt but it purifies souls, and helps with the Ghost weakness, since it also eats souls).
• Feraligatr definitely has Strong Jaw as an option. Other one could be Intimidate or Water Veil since its physical and hates burns.
• Sceptile could have either Leaf Guard (heavily leaf-based design), Sharpness or Solar Power (the latter to boost offenses, to either power up lower Atk/Leaf Blade or it's Special Atk in general).
• Blaziken could have Quick Feet and Tough Claws (arms/legs have claws).
• Swampert could have Hydration and either Iron Fist (rock hard arms), Anticipation (can predict storms) or Tinted Lens (eyesight Dex entry, can see through Muddy water)
• Torterra can have Harvest (has a tree on it's back) and Solid Rock/Friend Guard (Dex entries about other Pokemon living on top of it). Maybe even Rocky Payload (it has mountains so it transports rocky mountains technically).
• Infernape could have Inner Focus (prevents Intimidate/flinch to go with his speed) and Technician.
• Empoleon can have Swift Swim (swims as fast as a jet boat Dex entry) and either Competitive or Thick Fat (penguin, and fixes Fire resistance from being part Steel),
• Serperior could have Intimidate and Solar Power (takes in solar energy and needs offensive stats). Or Tension.
• Emboar can have Adaptability (adept at using many moves in Dex entry) and either Thick Fat, Iron Fist or Guts.
• Samurott can have Quick Draw and Intimidate.
• Hisuan Samurott can have Moxie and Sheer Force (attacks are like crash of waves).
• Chesnaught could have Iron Barbs and Shell ArmouFriend Guard. Or Justified.
• Delphox could have Psychic Surge and either Inner Focus/Serene Grace. Or Magic Guard
• Greninja could have Technician and either Unburden or Sticky Hold (tongue/hands look like it will be sticky)
• Decidueye could have Tinted Lens and either Quick Draw or No Guard.
• Hisuian Decidueye can have Overcoat (it has a coat, and Dex entry says the feather coat protects it from the Hisuian cold) and Adaptability (this evolution adapting to environment as in the Dex entry). Our Cloud Nine (ignores hail/snow and reference to nomadic life which has some degree of being carefree)
• Incineroar can have Tough Claws (look at its hands!) and Moxie.
• Primarina can have Serene Grace and Hydration/Water Bubble (it controls Water Balloons).
• Rillaboom could be Punk Rock and Grass Pelt. Maybe Gorilla Tactics for the pun.
• Cinderace can have Quick Feet and Technician.
• Inteleon could have Tinted Lens and Mold Breaker (to pierce through Water Absorb).
• Meowscarada could have Magician and Prankster.
• Skeledirge is tricky. Flash Fire and Soundproof I guess? Would be fun/ironic to protect itself from Liquid Voice Primarina/ Or maybe Mold breaker so it's flames/Torch Song works through anyone.
• Quaquaval could be Technician and maybe Quick Feet/Vital Spirit.

Thoughts on what abilities they could have that I missed or would work better? How do you think some of the playstyles would change?

Prompt Engineering. This prompt book will help you learn essential building blocks and
all the techniques to master Stable Diffusion.
The secret for generating good images
A well-written prompt consisting of modifiers and a good
sentence structure. We will also show you all types of modifiers and some magic words.
Well-adjusted Stable Diffusion weights. You can
always use the default, but sometimes fine-tuned weights can generate better results.
This will strengthen your ability to
bring your creative dream images to life.
​
​
Prompt keyword weighting is supported. You can increase the attention of a keyword but not higher than 1.5.
Use the format (example:weight). By default, words have a coefficient of 1 (example: 0.4), they will have a lower priority.
​
Attention for words Technique:
Adding "()" in the prompt increases attention to enclosed words, while "[]" decreases it. You can combine multiple modifiers:
- a (word) - increase attention to word by a factor of 1.1
- a ((word)) - increase attention to word by a factor of 1.21 (= 1.1 * 1.1)
- a [word] - decrease attention to word by a factor of 1.1
- a (word:1.5) - increase attention to word by a factor of 1.5
- a (word:0.25) - decrease attention to word by a factor of 4 (= 1 / 0.25)
​
You can also use a few words in "()" and "[]". You can also use a few words in "()" and "[]".
​
Also you can still use this structure: (example, example :weight), so the weight will increase for several words at once.
Examples: (grayscale, woodcut:1.2); (((blue hair, floating hair, liquid hair, chromatic aberration))); (rutkowski, artstation:0.8); (masterpiece, best quality:1.4); [cute, volumetric fog]
​
Please note that to increase or decrease the weight of several words, you need to put a comma between them.
​
Start by asking a list of questions

​
The order of words is important
The order and presentation of our desired output is almost as an important aspect as the vocabulary itself. It is recommended to list your concepts explicitly and separately than trying to cramp it into one simple sentence.
​
The keyword categories are:
​

1. Subject: what you want to see in the image, such as a person, an object, a scene, etc.
   
2. Medium: the material used to make the artwork, such as illustration, oil painting, realistic, anime, 3D rendering, etc.
   
3. Style: the artistic style of the image, such as impressionist, surrealist, pop art, etc.
   
4. Artist: the name of a specific artist or multiple artists whose style you want to emulate or blend.
   
5. Website: the name of a niche graphic website that aggregates images of a certain genre, such as Artstation or Deviant Art.
   
6. Additional details: any other modifiers that can enhance the image, such as sci-fi, stunningly beautiful, dystopian, etc.
   
7. Color: the overall color or tone of the image, such as iridescent gold, pastel pink, etc.
   
8. Lighting: the effect of light and shadow on the image, such as cinematic lighting, soft lighting, dark, dark shot, bright, etc.
   

​
You don’t have to include keywords from all categories. You can use them as a checklist to remind you what could be used.
A negative prompt is a way to tell the neural network what should not be in the image. You can use words or phrases that describe what you want to avoid or exclude from the image. You can also use weights in negative prompt to increase or decrease the effect of certain words.
​
Generally accepted negative prompt is considered: (deformed, distorted, disfigured:1.3), poorly drawn, bad anatomy, wrong anatomy, extra limb, missing limb, floating limbs, (mutated hands and fingers:1.4), disconnected limbs, mutation, mutated, ugly, disgusting, blurry, amputation.
​
Realistic negative prompt: overexposed, (deformed iris, deformed pupils, semi-realistic, cgi, 3d, render, sketch, cartoon, drawing, anime:1.3), text, close up, cropped, out of frame, worst quality, low quality, jpeg artifacts, ugly, duplicate, morbid, mutilated, extra fingers, mutated hands, poorly drawn hands, poorly drawn face, mutation, deformed, blurry, dehydrated, bad anatomy, bad proportions, extra limbs, cloned face, disfigured, gross proportions, malformed limbs, missing arms, missing legs, extra arms, extra legs, fused fingers, too many fingers, long neck.
​
For positive prompt and negative prompt, I have thought of universal keywords - styles. You may not find them in the examples because they are new. Almost every style has a Negative prompt. It is advisable to write it together with positive prompt.
​
An example of how to use styles if you want to create a cat image in a Professional photo style:

1. Positive prompt: (dark shot:1.4), 80mm, cat, soft light, sharp, exposure blend, medium shot, bokeh, (hdr:1.4), high contrast, (cinematic, teal and orange:0.85), (muted colors, dim colors, soothing tones:1.3), low saturation, (hyperdetailed:1.2), (noir:0.4)

​

1. Negative prompt: neon, (deformed, distorted, disfigured:1.3), poorly drawn, bad anatomy, wrong anatomy, extra limb, missing limb, floating limbs, (mutated hands and fingers:1.4), disconnected limbs, mutation, mutated, ugly, disgusting, blurry, amputation, over saturated

​
For example, if you want to generate an image of a girl with Natural skin:
​

1. Positive prompt: girl, (natural skin texture, hyperrealism, soft light, sharp)

​

1. Negative prompt: (cgi:0.9), (deformed, distorted, disfigured:1.3), poorly drawn, bad anatomy, wrong anatomy, extra limb, missing limb, floating limbs, (mutated hands and fingers:1.4), disconnected limbs, mutation, mutated, ugly, disgusting, blurry, amputation, 3d, illustration, cartoon, (doll:0.9)

We know there's a bunch of storylines that didn't get explored to the fullest. Here's things I'd want. All of this potentially gives us a season 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 and a completely reworked season 5.
💖 Convergence magic being explored deeper and tied in more and more over time. 💖 Another general group thing I wanted, was for the Winx to be actual teachers for more than one episode. Sure, Bloom is an okay mentor to Roxy, but imagine the Winx actually raising the next generation of Alfea fairies?! 💖 Each girl getting a home planet Arc as guardian fairy , and then we have a movie where they safe the magical dimension as adult company of light ! 💖 Speaking of adults: season 4 and wow tried to give them careers, but what about really exploring that. Musa and Aisha scouting young creative talent, Bloom illustrating and writing children's books, Stella running a successful designer label, Flora and Miele making plant potions and remedies for the entire dimension, while Tecna and Timmy revolutionize Red fountain tech.
💙 The specialists have their own magic, and a bond with dragons! WHY isn't this explored more. How does the guys' magic work?!
💙❤️ Riven consistently falls for darkness. It's always reconned somehow. We need a full plot of this so the boy can make peace with himself. The old Winx website bios talked about him being abandoned as a child, please elaborate!
💙💚 💙🩵 We do agree we need a deep dive into Brandon's (and by extension Sky's) childhood? Like how did he end up as Sky's servant, what prompted them to do the switch thing, how did they keep Stella (and everyone else lol) fooled for an entire year before the winx story began?
💙🧡 💙💜 Helia and Nabu getting backstory/ Home Planet arcs exploring their magic and training the girls in it. Especially Nabu and Aisha strengthening and challenging one anothers skills, having a full mighty Andros arc where they meet Roy as some sort of teache companion.
💙💛 Timmy actually standing up to Tecna's parents. Better yet, Timmy's parents absolutely loving Tecna. (Yes I'm say Zenith/ family subplot for my boy!)
🩵 BLOOM CANNOT USE HER SIRENIX WISH ON DAPHNE. (Thanks for coming to my Ted talk) Instead let's expand on nymph lore and give screentime/ history to all of them. From what I understand there could be actual Greek mythology in here. S1 Bloom is an absolute fantasy/ mythology Geek. Wich, oh wow, proves useful on our mission with Diana, Sybilla And Roxy! We see Vanessa and Marion getting along just fine, but I actually would like for Bloom to struggle with her dual identity after her Bio parents are found. Being adopted/ socialized as a human would be a great deeper bonding plot for her and her student Roxy. Also Musa needs to sit Bloom down for a serious chat in season 4. Bloom takes Vanessa's generosity for granted and needs to be corrected. I feel like Musa, who didn't grow up an aristocrat or princess, has every right to have a confrontation arc with Bloom over just accepting such a huge present and taking people for granted. Speaking of Bloom and Musa's bond, this could be further explored through their mutual gift of seeing/ feeling people's auras. They'd make an awesome team solving conflict in Gardenia and all around the magical dimension. Diaspro is actually shown to have a personality in that one season 2 episode. How about we rewind her relationship with Bloom from there. Flora makes them make friends and Diaspro actually becomes sort of helpful to the Winx in her way. She can still be a petty snob, I just want to eliminate Sky Drama. Speaking of Sky, no inconsistent healing dragon flame, it's Flora who revives him, and he ain't resurrected, just badly hurt.
🧡 Stella having more moon power / a subplot of her trying to connect with Luna and Luna's magic. In this version, Luna isn't her watered down nick self, but a strict, cold, formal queen who Stella has trouble standing up to. She gives Stella a challenge, and Musa and Aisha help her perceiver. Aisha calls the guys for backup at the tail end of it, and Brandon, egged on by Amore, delivers the godmother of all speeches about love. Musa and Aisha add their bit about how familial love and the absence there of is so impactful, so that in the end Luna kinda sorta softens up and talks to Radius to at least be somewhat friendly again. We all know Stella is the real leader of the club. Let her just shine on more missions and let both Flora and Stella actually stand up to Bloom rather than giving in to her.
🩷 Flora teaching at Linphea academy and bringing Miele over to Alfea! A whole subplot that has a wholesome educational message for kids about how to treat Nature. Miele aging consistently and not sliding anymore. ( Miele is like 4 -3 years younger than Roxy in realtime.) To that point, Flora, Miele and Roxy on a mission together. And adventure to preserve/ save Linphea. Please give me Flora fights like the ones she had with Darcy. Don't let her be the weakest Winx all the time! Just because someone is delicate, doesn't mean they can't stand up for themselves!
💙 I'd rewrite all of season 5 to do Aisha justice! For convince, let me condense it in two sentences: She gets to properly grieve Nabu, while Musa and Stella console and support her process. AISHA IS THE LEADER OF THE SIRENIX MISSION. Also while on Summer break back after season 2, we get a special about the Winx hanging out on Andros And having aquatix adventures (remember the mermaid form of magic Winx that was actually gorgeous?) Aisha, Flora and Musa find/ meet Aisha's childhood friend Anne, And introduce her to the King and Queen of surface Andros. They're shocked, but auntie Ligea knew the whole time 😹 Flora clicks with Anne instantly, and invites her to Linphea after finding out Anne has been developing a passion for underwater gardening. Anne reveals she's actually from somewhere between Andros and Melody and is also besties with Terssa and Galatea. She becomes a sort of courier between the realms. - Also Anne Bonds with Livvy, and since at this point my Andros lore content is 3 seasons Long, how about more pixie content as well?! Yes I actually love Pop pixie xD
❤️ Musa deserves the world in my opinion. She deserves to use her sirenix wish on something cool. Like everlasting Harmony in all magical waters, wich brings peace for Daphne, and eliminates the island of trash that was movie 3. Remember her plot point at cloud tower, that she's actually kinda good at dark magic? Musa, Stella, and Aisha (maybe on Stella's moon power arc & Riven's origin arc) get an entire educational plot on how trauma messes with you even long after it's over, and how to overcome it. Also I'm not saying dark Musa plotline, but her And Bloom are almost equals in training sessions. (disregard dragonflame op) how about Musa, Aisha, Stella and recently healed Bloom are in Luna's challenge: The three girls that haven't been corrupted before get negativity affected by the dark side of moon magic, and each spend an individual episode overcoming their darkness. With Bloom and their pixie to guide them. - Stella being the positive person she is gets out first. She helps Bloom coach Aisha through, and lights her Staff as to be Aisha's light in the dark. Musa however has the hardest time getting out, so we spend a double episode getting her out. There's an epic fight because Musa wants to stay in her memories. She knocks out Bloom like it's no trouble. It's the pixies (Amore in particular) who have the best idea to reach her, so Stella and Aisha ultimately get Musa out of her darkness. Also her musical career inside magix totally picks up after the concert episode. Stella is kinda her manager now, and we nix the season 4 Jason subplot, because my girl already is successful and doesn't need a random man for this. On the topic of exploring realms, the origins of Musa's Flute are just as important as Stella's ring. They spend a bit of time recharging on melody and go on an adventure with Galatea, who shows them a lot of magical musical history. Musa's moms Koto (harp) has a secret magical message for her that's super sweet.
💜 I said Zenith Arc for Timmy. Do I have to say Zenith arc for Tecna? Basically anything that'd give us more wholesome Timmy and Tecna. I'd also like to know what she was doing in the Omega dimension ice caves. Like, give this a solo episode!
💚 Roxy, Mirta and Galatea forming their own club and carrying the torch. Roxy actually unlocking all her powers she'll need to be queen. For enchantix, Roxy goes back to gardenia in the Summer and somehow saves Mike and Vanessa's lives, so now Bloom is forever in Roxy's debt.

01:10 Cookie: Uh-huh.

02:29 Rossy: We made him an offer.
02:30 Cookie: This is a little too much…
02:31 Kobato: Is that true, po? (laughs)
02:32 Rossy: [Note: the lower 3 items] Honestly, these below here are, um, our directors and writers’ jokes.

02:39 Kobato: Are they jokes, po?
02:39 Rossy: Sorry, up to here.
02:42 Narrator: Our staff’s joking aside, first of all, let’s take a listen to Band-Maid’s signature song, po!
(Thrill)
02:53 Cookie: Are maids only in Japan?
02:54 Kobato: Well, maids like this are part of Japanese culture…
02:57 Cookie: Like… like lolita fashion?
02:58 Kobato: Oh, yes, po.
02:59 Cookie: Uh-huh, Japanese culture. Uh-huh.
03:02 Narrator: Over 170 million views on YouTube! Their most popular song is this, Thrill!
03:12 Narrator: Band-Maid are highly acclaimed overseas, and the comments section is like this!
03:19 Cookie: Oh, wow, awesome!
03:20 Kobato: Yes, it’s awesome, po.
03:21 Rossy: I can’t read them at all. Do you know those languages?
03:23 Kobato: No, I mean, there are so many comments in languages I don’t know, po.
03:26 Rossy: It’s like a foreign country.
03:26 Cookie: Aha, I get it. It’s from Mexico.
03:28 Kobato: Not only in English.
03:29 Rossy: Great.
03:36 Cookie: Oh? You have a lot of vocalists.
03:38 Kobato: Oh, us two, po.
03:39 Cookie: Oh, just two. Oh, the two of you.
03:40 Kobato: Well, it was quite a long time ago, so…
03:42 Saiki: It was long ago.
03:43 Kobato: … um… our faces look a little different, po, right?
03:46 Cookie: (laughs)
03:49 Rossy: How long ago was this?
03:50 Saiki: It was… 8 years…
03:50 Kobato: It was… about 8 years ago…
03:54 Rossy: Oh, it was quite a long time ago.
03:55 Saiki: Yes.
03:56 Saiki: That’s the song that started it all.
03:58 Cookie: Uh-huh, so that’s where it all started.
04:00 Kobato: Yes, exactly, po.
04:01 Rossy: Did you say “po, po” at that time?
04:03 Kobato: At that time, our manager didn’t allow me to do so, po.
04:06 Cookie: Uh-huh, even though you wanted.
04:07 Kobato: In the beginning, um, I said it, po, but he told me to really stop it, so I stopped… I was forced to stop it for some time, po.
04:14 Rossy: But now they love it all over the world, right?
04:16 Kobato: Yes, po, then our managers changed…
04:19 Cookie: “Hooray!” Like “Hooray!”
04:20 Kobato: Like “I will say it from now on, po”.
04:21 Cookie: Liberation of self.
04:22 Kobato: I liberated myself, po.
04:23 Rossy: Wow, that’s amazing.
04:23 Kobato: (laughs)
04:24 Cookie: So, um, I don’t have much to do with maids…
04:27 Kobato: (laughs) That must be so, po.
04:28 Cookie: I’ve seen them only in porns.
04:29 Saiki, Kobato: (laughs)
04:31 Kobato: Rather, you have something to do with them there, po, right?
04:32 Saiki: Your recognition, though.
04:33 Cookie: How far… I’m wondering how far I can talk.
04:34 Kobato: Uh-huh, I see, po, I see, po.
04:35 Saiki: (laughs)
04:36 Rossy: How many years have passed since your formation?
04:38 Kobato: We will have our 10th anniversary this year, po.
04:39 Cookie: Oh, congratulations (applause).
04:40 Rossy: Uh-huh, it’s just around the corner.
04:40 Saiki: Thank you so much.
04:41 Kobato: Thank you very much, po.
04:43 Rossy: How did you all meet?
04:45 Kobato: How we met is this. I, Kobato, originally used to work part-time at maid cafés, po, in reality.
04:48 Rossy: Oh, really? I see.
04:50 Kobato: I used to work also in Akihabara, po, but I also liked bands at the same time, so I ended up forming a band called Band-Maid by combining the two things, and I started to gather other members, po.
05:02 Rossy: Did you take applications?
05:04 Kobato: Um, our guitarist, Kanami-chan, posted cover videos and the like, um, on YouTube, and I found her there, po.
05:12 Cookie: Uh-huh.
05:13 Kobato: Then, Kanami invited our drummer Akane…
05:16 Cookie: Oh, I see.
05:17 Kobato: Then, our drummer Akane invited our bassist Misa, who went to the same music school as her…
05:23 Cookie: Uh-huh.
05:25 Kobato: When the four of us started like “All right, let’s go, po”, we were like “It sounds a little too bright with just Kobato’s voice, po”…
05:30 Cookie: Uh-huh, your voice was too pop.
05:31 Kobato: That’s right, po. I thought “I want a cooler voice too”, and then in our company, um, they found Sai-chan, who was alone doing nothing at all… (laughs)
05:39 Cookie: It’s not that she did nothing at all, right?
05:39 Rossy: No kidding.
05:40 Saiki: There was something I was doing.
05:41 Cookie: You were like this, you were wandering in the office like this.
05:42 Saiki, Kobato: (laughs)
05:44 Cookie: You did something then, right?
05:44 Saiki: Yes, I did something.
05:44 Kobato: Just something.
05:45 Saiki: I was working alone (laughs).
05:46 Kobato: By herself (laughs).
05:47 Cookie: Uh-huh, I guess so.
05:49 Cookie: Anyway, going overseas is beyond imagination for us… us from the island tribe who hang out around Lake Biwa.
05:56 Saiki, Kobato: (laughs)
05:59 Kobato: The video of Thrill you have just watched, was, um, our first MV, po, and about a half year after we released it, we suddenly had a huge increase in access from overseas, po.
06:10 Cookie: What?
06:11 Rossy: Uh-huh.
06:12 Saiki: There was a Facebook page that introduces Japanese pop culture to overseas people, and it was posted there (laughs).
06:20 Cookie: Oh, I see.
06:22 Kobato: No one in our company knew anything about it, po.
06:23 Saiki: No one knew.
06:24 Rossy: Oh, you didn’t know. Such a strange thing happened to you, right?
06:26 Cookie: Like “Look, cute maids are singing cool”…
06:27 Kobato: Oh, that’s right, po.
06:28 Cookie: Someone posted it with a pop and everyone started watching it.
06:30 Kobato: With a bang.
06:31 Saiki: Yes.
06:31 Cookie: Whoa, awesome.
06:32 Kobato: Po.
06:32 Cookie: I’m jealous.
06:34 Saiki, Kobato: (laughs)
06:36 Cookie: In my case I’m determined to wear only a gakuran [note: old-style Japanese school uniform, typical of the ’80s bad boys]…
06:38 Saiki, Kobato: (laughs)
06:39 Cookie: But I’ve got no overseas reaction at all (laughs).
06:40 Saiki, Kobato: (laughs)
06:42 Rossy: How are Japanese gakuran going?
06:44 Cookie: Japanese gakuran are no use.
06:45 Rossy: Let’s go on to the next.
06:46 Kobato: Po!
06:47 Rossy: Next, a tip-off from Exile, po.
06:47 Cookie: You’re awesome, indeed.
06:49 Rossy: This is great. Who among them? Let’s check it out.
06:54 Narrator: A tip-off about Band-Maid is from…
06:56 Rossy: Who?
06:58 Kobato: Po.
06:58 Saiki: (laughs)
07:00 Nesmith: Uh, you two of Yasei Bakudan, and Band-Maid’s, uh, Kobato, and Sai-chan, good evening! I’m Exile Nesmith.
07:05 Cookie: Awesome.
07:06 Rossy: Nesmith-san. Great.
07:07 Kobato: Po.
07:08 Narrator: What a surprise, he is a vocalist-performer of Exile and Exile The Second, Nesmith!
07:16 Narrator: The maid style and the urban guy style might seem opposite at first glance…
07:19 [Caption] There seems to be no connection
07:21 Cookie: I don’t think there’s any connection. What is it?
07:23 Nesmith: Well, Kobato is, uh, from the same hometown of Kumamoto as me…
07:26 Cookie: Ah, that makes sense.
07:28 Nesmith: I met her in Kumamoto before she came to Tokyo, and I was a little shocked like “What? Is there a girl this cute in Kumamoto?” when I saw her… That was my first impression.
07:39 Cookie: Whoa.
07:40 Saiki: (laughs)
07:44 Nesmith: She was thinking of moving to Tokyo, and, um, she was interested in working in the music industry like this, but she didn’t know anyone there, so she couldn’t decide what she should do…
07:57 Nesmith: So I was like “Well, at least I’m there, so why don’t you move there?” (laughs) She was like “OK, I understand, I’ll go to Tokyo” and then she came to Tokyo, and that’s how it all started, kind of.
08:14 [Caption] Without Nesmith, Kobato wouldn’t have become what she is now
08:15 Kobato: Crazy, this scene is crazy. A crazy scene.
08:17 Cookie: What the hell is “Mehhh”? (laughs)
08:21 Saiki: Oh, the “pyon” is used (laughs).
08:22 Cookie: (laughs)
08:24 [Caption] We asked him about “po”
08:32 Nesmith: Well, I also have a kind of music program, and I often have the opportunity to interview the two of them, and, um, Miku Kobato talks like “po po, po po” there, so I think “Oh, she’s so consistent”… (laughs)
08:50 Saiki: “Consistent” (laughs).
08:51 Cookie: What does “consistent” mean?
08:52 Nesmith: There are a lot of moments when I think “Awesome, she’s a pro”.
08:57 Nesmith: Off stage… off stage, she doesn’t say it.
09:01 Cookie: That’s not good.
09:02 Kobato: (laughs)
09:03 Cookie: This is bad news.
09:03 Nesmith: She sometimes talks naturally in the Kumamoto dialect.
09:09 Nesmith: She sometimes says “Nan’ya” or “Nannanbai” (laughs).
09:13 Kobato: That’s what Nes-san says, po.
09:15 Nesmith: She’s like that, quite opposite of “po” (laughs).
09:20 Cookie: [Note: I can’t hear well]
09:23 Nesmith: Uh, you two of Yasei Bakudan, if there’s any chance, uh, please kindly invite me to your show Ongaku Bakudan!
09:30 Cookie: Your fee is too high (laughs).
09:31 Nesmith: Well then, that’s all from Exile Nesmith, po!
09:34 Cookie: Po.
09:34 Nesmith: Thank you very much, po!
09:35 Cookie: Thanks a lot!
09:36 Rossy: Great.
09:37 Kobato: Didn’t he say only insane things just now?
09:38 Rossy: Yes, because it’s a tip-off, you know.
09:40 Saiki: It was really a tip-off.
09:41 Saiki: No, she does say it backstage…
09:45 Kobato: I’ll get lectured, po (laughs), if I say it.
09:47 Saiki: You’ll hate it if she says it outside, you know.
09:49 Kobato: (laughs)
09:50 Rossy: Of course.
09:50 Cookie: That makes sense.
09:51 Saiki: Yeah.
09:52 Kobato: I get lectured, po, so often.
09:53 Saiki: You know, you’ll absolutely look at her like “Hmm?”
09:55 Rossy: Yeah, yeah, you’ll look at her.
09:57 Saiki: So, um, I don’t want them to think we’re in the same group (laughs).
10:03 Kobato: When I say “po” in front of Nes-san, he laughs sooo much, po.
10:06 Cookie: Uh-huh, also because you’re from the same hometown.
10:08 Kobato: He teases me a lot about it…
10:09 Cookie: So, uh, can you do this? Um, for example, instead of putting “po” here and there seriously, what if you said “po po po po po po po po po, po po po po po” beforehand…
10:16 Kobato: Oh, that might have been better, po.
10:18 Cookie: Like “Just a moment, Nesmith-san, po po po po po po po po po po po po”…
10:20 Kobato: Po po po po (laughs).
10:22 Kobato: Po-pooling!
10:23 Saiki: What… (laughs)
10:23 Cookie: Yeah, po-pooling, po-pooling.
10:23 Kobato: Aha, po-pooling! I see, po. I’ll do it from next time on, po.
10:25 Saiki: Like a withdrawal symptom from it (laughs).
10:26 Cookie: If you say so, um, if you do it, I think he will be like “Whoa!”
10:29 Kobato: Good point.
10:30 Rossy: All right, let’s go on to the next.
10:31 Kobato: Yes.
10:31 Rossy: The next one is this.
10:31 Kobato: Po.
10:31 Rossy: World rockstars’ favorite Osaka specialties, po. I wonder what this is.
10:35 Kobato: Po.
10:36 Cookie: Ah. But, you know, aren’t you guys pretty particular about your food? Are you OK with this? Do you eat ordinary food, like, katsudon?
10:42 Kobato: Oh, yes, po, we eat it, po. Oh, the day before recording, you eat a katsudon…
10:45 Saiki: I eat a katsudon the day before.
10:47 Cookie: No, why, that’s lame.
10:49 Saiki: To win. [Note: Japanese people wish good luck with the pun of katsudon and “katsu” (“to win”).]
10:50 Cookie: That’s exactly why it’s lame!
10:51 Saiki, Kobato: (laughs)
10:51 Cookie: It’s freaking lame.
10:52 Rossy: You dare to do it.
10:53 Saiki: And, also, I eat udon on the day of recording.
10:56 Cookie: What for?
10:56 Rossy: Uh-huh.
10:57 Saiki: Um, to wish my voice will be elastic and long.
10:59 Kobato: (laughs)
11:00 Rossy: What, no one does such a thing (laughs).
11:01 Cookie: That’s freaking lame, right?
11:02 Saiki, Kobato: (laughs)
11:03 Cookie: Don’t use your low-pitched voice to slowly say a lame thing.
11:04 Saiki: Wishing good luck… I like wishing good luck.
11:10 Narrator: Band-Maid, active around the world, should definitely know about world rockstars’ favorite Osaka specialties we introduce now, in order to keep spreading their wings to the world!
11:13 Cookie: Wow, awesome.
11:23 Narrator: Our reporter is…
11:25 Cookie: Oh? It’s the WBC.
11:26 Kobato: I see, po.
11:28 Ioka: Hello, Yasei Bakudan and Band-Maid. I’m Hiroki Ioka. Nice to meet you.
11:34 Saiki: Oh?
11:35 Rossy: Hold on.
11:35 Kobato: Does he pronounce it right, po?
11:36 Cookie: No, he doesn’t.
11:37 Kobato: (laughs)
11:38 Narrator: A man who knows the world just like Band-Maid. Chairman Ioka!
11:42 Cookie: I… I want subtitles for all his words.
11:46 Narrator: A former WBC minimumweight world champion and former WBA light-flyweight world champion, and now the chairman of Ioka Boxing Gym!
11:47 Cookie: Awesome jabs. He was a strong champion.
11:50 Kobato: Awesome, po.
11:56 Narrator: Now, let’s go!
11:57 Saiki: Outside?! (laughs)
11:59 Ioka: “Ioka the Man goes around the corner”.
12:01 Kobato: She was weirded out a little, po.
12:03 Cookie: (laughs)
12:04 Narrator: The first one is a taiyaki shop near Nakazakicho Station.
12:07 Cookie: Taiyaki.
12:07 Narrator: Which rockstar of the world visited here?!
12:11 [Caption] Osaka Naniwaya, Nakazaki, Kita, Osaka
12:11 Ioka: Uh, hello. I’m I… Ioka.
12:13 Taiyaki cook: Hello.
12:13 Cookie: “I’m I… Ioka”.
12:14 Taiyaki cook: Wow, your belt is great.
12:15 Ioka: I just put my champion belt on.
12:17 Taiyaki cook: They have been active at the forefront since the ’80s…
12:21 Ioka: OK.
12:22 Taiyaki cook: A five-piece group.
12:24 Ioka: A five-piece group?
12:25 Taiyaki cook: Yes. Who do you think they are?
12:27 Ioka: Godiego.
12:28 Cookie: He’s so fast.
12:29 Taiyaki cook: They are Americans.
12:31 Ioka: America?
12:31 Saiki: Oh, Americans.
12:32 Taiyaki cook: Armageddon… made them famous.
12:35 Ioka: Ultraman.
12:37 Cookie: This is hopeless.
12:38 Ioka: Wrong?
12:39 Taiyaki cook: They are Something-Smith. Who are they?
12:40 Cookie: Name Americans (laughs).
12:42 Cookie: Oh, great.
12:42 Ioka: Jun-ichi Sumi [note: an announcer in Osaka].
12:44 Cookie: So, why Sumi-san?
12:45 Saiki, Kobato: (laughs)
12:45 Taiyaki cook: That was a quick answer.
12:47 Ioka: Wrong?
12:48 Taiyaki cook: That’s a wrong answer.
12:50 Narrator: Chairman, you seem a little dizzy from a punch in the past.
12:53 Cookie: Hey, don’t say such a thing (laughs).
12:55 Ioka: Do you have a picture or something?
12:56 Taiyaki cook: Oh, yes, I do.
12:56 [Caption] The correct answer is
12:57 Taiyaki cook: I have a picture on display.
13:00 Ioka: OK.
13:00 Taiyaki cook: The correct answer is Aerosmith.
13:03 Ioka: Oh, Aerosmith?
13:05 [Caption] Steven Tyler
13:05 Kobato: He has such a tiny face, po, right?
13:07 Cookie: I didn’t know his face is that tiny. He looks almost like Naoko Ken [note: a female Japanese singer in the ’80s].
13:10 Kobato: (laughs)
13:11 Taiyaki cook: They were at a concert venue in Osaka, near the South Port, and asked me to bake, so I brought this whole taiyaki machine there and cooked between the dressing room and the stage like catering service.
13:24 Ioka: Wasn’t that hard work?
13:26 Taiyaki cook: Yes, it was. There were Aerosmith and their staff, over 200 people in total.
13:30 Ioka: Uh-huh.
13:31 Taiyaki cook: So, um, Steven Tyler-san loves taiyaki so much that he ate one before going on stage, and ate another one after coming back from the stage all sweaty.
13:32 Kobato: Oh, awesome, po. He’s pinching the tail, po.
13:42 Ioka: Uh-huh.
13:43 Taiyaki cook: And he was going back to the US right after that, so thankfully he took ten of them with him.
13:47 Ioka: Uh-huh.
13:48 Taiyaki cook: Well, um, it looks like they flew on their private jet…
13:50 Ioka: A private jet?!
13:51 Taiyaki cook: Yes.
13:52 Ioka: That’s awesome.
13:52 Taiyaki cook: I guess he ate taiyaki again on the flight.
13:54 Ioka: Oh, of course, I’m sure he ate it like “I’m sooo hungry”.
13:59 Cookie: There’s no way he said so.
14:00 Saiki: (laughs)
14:02 [Caption] Taiyaki 200 yen
14:02 Ioka: So, now I’ll have a taiyaki Aerosmith had.
14:05 Rossy: Looks delicious.
14:07 Saiki: Crispy?
14:10 Ioka: Mmm, delicious.
14:13 Saiki: Really?
14:13 Ioka: It’s mildly sweet, or rather, it’s not too sugary, and it’s easy to eat, so I would eat 3 or 4 of them. It’s really like that.
14:23 Ioka: I’m on a diet for a while so I can’t eat a lot, but if I weren’t, I could probably eat about 10 of them.
14:28 Saiki, Kobato: Wow.
14:29 Ioka: 8… I could eat about 8 of them. It’s a piece of cake to eat 8 of them.
14:32 Cookie: 8 pieces.
14:34 Kobato: 2 pieces are gone, po (laughs).
14:35 Staff: To be honest, how many pieces do you think you can eat if you try?
14:38 Ioka: 9 pieces.
14:39 Kobato: (laughs) Hold on!
14:41 Ioka: “Ioka the Man goes around the corner”.
14:45 Narrator: The second one is an okonomiyaki shop in Grand Front Osaka.
14:46 Rossy: He’s in a great place. Is he all right?
14:50 Narrator: The world rockstars who visited here are…
14:51 [Caption] Omoni Grand Front Osaka, Ofukacho, Kita, Osaka
14:55 Okonomiyaki cook: Something and Something.
14:58 Cookie: What?
14:58 Kobato: Aha.
14:59 Ioka: “And”?
15:00 Okonomiyaki cook: “And”.
15:00 Ioka: “And” reminds me of Tadao Ando-san.
15:03 Kobato: No (laughs). It’s in the middle, po.
15:03 Okonomiyaki cook: Bzzt.
15:05 Okonomiyaki cook: “And” is in the middle, OK?
15:06 Ioka: Uh-huh, in the middle.
15:08 Okonomiyaki cook: Something and Something.
15:10 Ioka: Uh-huh.
15:13 Ioka: Uh, Highheel & Momoko.
15:16 Okonomiyaki cook: She’s not a rock band, OK?
15:17 Cookie: No, no, she’s Highheel Momoko [note: a Japanese comedian].
15:17 Ioka: Is that wrong?
15:18 Okonomiyaki cook: She’s not a rock band.
15:20 Okonomiyaki cook: They came to Japan in 2017, to perform in Osaka, at Kyocera Dome.
15:30 Ioka: So they did a concert there and came here, right?
15:32 Okonomiyaki cook: Yeah, exactly.
15:34 Narrator: Chairman Ioka is about to be knocked out! Miku Kobato-san, we have no choice but to ask you to answer in place of him!
15:42 Kobato: I got it this time, po. Guns N’ Roses.
15:46 Cookie: Wow.
15:47 Kobato: Po.
15:49 Kobato: He goes on and on. Pretty intense.
15:53 Cookie: After finishing it, what the hell is this?
15:54 Kobato: (laughs)
15:54 Okonomiyaki cook: The correct answer is Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose-san.
16:02 Ioka: Oh. Axl Rose-san.
16:03 Okonomiyaki cook: Did you get it?
16:04 Ioka: Yes.
16:04 Okonomiyaki cook: Did you get it?
16:06 Narrator: The correct answer is Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose!
16:10 Kobato: I knew, po.
16:11 Narrator: He enjoyed okonomiyaki and yakisoba to the fullest with his wife and a few staff members.
16:16 [Caption] Signature Omoni-yaki (pork, squid, shrimp, scallop, egg) 1,500 yen
16:16 Narrator: He seems to have liked it so much that his staff took the same dish to the concert venue the next day!
16:21 [Caption] Special Champon (beef tendon, kimchi, green onion, cabbage) 2,000 yen
16:21 Cookie: Looks yummy.
16:22 Saiki: Looks delicious.
16:23 Kobato: Wow, it looks delicious, po, this champon.
16:25 Ioka: Mmm! It’s soft and delicious!
16:30 Ioka: This is really yummy.
16:32 Okonomiyaki cook: We use almost no flour in it.
16:34 Cookie: Uh-huh.
16:35 Kobato: Uh-huh.
16:35 Okonomiyaki cook: With a lot of cabbage.
16:36 Ioka: This cabbage.
16:37 Okonomiyaki cook: Yes, it is. Also, you can’t have this yakisoba anywhere else, absolutely.
16:43 Okonomiyaki cook: This is a rare one with both udon and soba.
16:46 Ioka: Oh, you’re right.
16:46 Kobato: Really? Oh, right.
16:47 Okonomiyaki cook: Yes, it is.
16:48 Staff: Can I ask you to do a food report by comparing it to boxing moves?
16:49 Cookie: Oh, that’s why it’s named champon. [Note: “champon” means “mixed together”.]
16:50 Kobato: Oh, I see, po!
16:51 Ioka: Yes.
16:53 Ioka: Uh, the lef… the left is very important… the most important thing, in boxing. There’s a saying that “He who rules with his left rules the world”.
17:01 Ioka: So, a left jab, a left uppercut, a left hook, three in a row, knocked you out.
17:07 Okonomiyaki cook: …
17:08 Saiki: (laughs)
17:08 Ioka: It’s delicious.
17:09 Cookie: This is insane.
17:12 Kobato: This is insane, po.
17:13 Ioka: Ioka the Man. Of this report, I have no regrets! [Note: a reference to Raoh.]
17:19 Cookie: Of course you have no regrets in this.
17:19 Narrator: The last one is this fashionable ramen shop.
17:22 Cookie: “Ramen War”.
17:23 Kobato: Oh, this is a ramen shop, po.
17:24 [Caption] Ramen Daisenso Senba-Shinsaibashi, Minami-Kyuhojimachi, Chuo, Osaka
17:24 Ioka: This is such a cozy shop. It doesn’t look like a ramen shop, right?
17:25 Cookie: Oh, is it like this?
17:28 Ioka: Right? What’s this?
17:29 Emi Ioka: It’s so fashionable. Kind of American, in the New York style?
17:31 Cookie: Don’t know who she is.
17:33 Emi Ioka: Um, I’m Ioka’s wife. I’m Emi.
17:35 Cookie: Oh, is she?!
17:35 Kobato: His wife!
17:37 Ioka: Yes, today is her first time shooting.
17:39 Ramen cook: Yes.
17:39 Emi Ioka: Um, I’ve heard a rockstar visited this shop frequently.
17:42 Cookie: His wife keeps the show going.
17:43 Saiki: He suddenly stoppped talking!
17:44 Kobato: Seriously, po?
17:44 Cookie: So his wife is his coach.
17:45 Ramen cook: Yes. Bruno Mars-san visited here.
17:47 Saiki: Whoa?!
17:49 Emi Ioka: Bruno Mars. Awesome.
17:49 [Caption] He visited here at the time of his shows at Kyocera Dome Osaka in October last year
17:52 Emi Ioka: That’s wonderful.
17:54 Cookie: Ioka is silent (laughs).
17:56 Kobato: He doesn’t say a single word, po.
17:58 Cookie: Once his wife came (laughs).
17:59 Kobato: Yeah.
18:00 Ramen cook: I think he performed for 3 days, and he visited us 4 times or so.
18:05 Emi Ioka: What?
18:06 Saiki: 4 times?
18:07 Kobato: Awesome, po.
18:08 Ramen cook: There was even a day when he visited us in the morning and again in the evening.
18:10 Kobato: Oh?!
18:10 Saiki: Whoa?!
18:11 Rossy: Great.
18:12 Ramen cook: I guess he visited us really just by chance, but when I saw people waiting in line first thing in the morning, I was like “Oh? There’s a foreigner waiting in line”.
18:19 Cookie: Whoa?!
18:20 Emi Ioka: Bruno Mars was waiting in line?
18:22 Kobato: Whoa, that’s awesome, po!
18:23 Rossy: Great.
18:24 Saiki: Awesome.
18:25 Ramen cook: He waited in line all 4 times.
18:26 Saiki: What?!
18:27 Ramen cook: Bruno Mars-san had a ramen named “Pistol”…
18:32 Kobato: “Pistol”?
18:32 Ramen cook: We named it so because we can serve it as quickly as a pistol bullet.
18:35 Kobato: Uh-huh.
18:38 [Caption] 3 minutes later
18:41 Rossy: That’s great.
18:42 Cookie: She gets her hips in properly.
18:43 Saiki: Properly.
18:43 Kobato: Sure. She’s solid, po.
18:44 Emi Ioka: Oh, here it comes! Thank you so much.
18:48 Emi Ioka: Wow, awesome!
18:49 Saiki: Awesome!
18:50 [Caption] Kansai-dashi shoyu ramen Pistol 810 yen
18:50 Emi Ioka: It also has a vibrant appearance.
18:51 Kobato: It looks so beautiful, po.
18:52 Emi Ioka: Great for Instagram! It looks delicious.
19:00 Emi Ioka: It has a clear taste. Not too heavy.
19:05 Ramen cook: We use rare-cooked char siu…
19:06 Emi Ioka: Rare-cooked char siu.
19:06 Ramen cook: Yes. We import it all the way from Italy.
19:09 Emi Ioka: It’s delicious. What did Bruno Mars-san say?
19:14 Ramen cook: He kept saying “Arigato, arigato” in broken Japanese and left, and he also did something like this for us when he was about to leave.
19:23 Ioka: Thank you very much.
19:24 Emi Ioka: Arigato (laughs). [Note: said with an English accent.]
19:28 Emi Ioka: Bruno Mars said that, so I tried to do an impression of him (laughs).
19:33 Narrator: Now we have an urgent announcement!
19:35 Kobato: I wonder what this is, po?
19:36 Narrator: What a surprise, the two of them made their CD debut the other day!

19:40 Narrator: Good-bye with the great song, broadcast on TV for the first time!
19:41 Kobato: Duet?!
19:46 Cookie: This is tough to see (laughs).
19:53 Kobato: Does “Childhood Chapter” mean they will continue, po?
19:54 Cookie: They will continue. They will keep on and on like a road movie, probably?
19:57 Kobato: (laughs)
19:57 Saiki: (laughs)
19:58 Cookie: From his childhood.
19:59 Kobato: It’s quite…
20:00 Rossy: How was that? Was there any place you want to visit?
20:01 Cookie: Oh.
20:01 Kobato: Oh, at any rate, I was sooo interested in them all, po.
20:04 Kobato: You know, I really would love to visit there, but we have to go overseas so often that it’s hard to find the time… [Note: this is a joke.]
20:13 Cookie: Just eat f**king taiyaki. Buy them and share them with your mates, without saying “po, po”.
20:19 Cookie: Go buy them if you have time to say “po”.
20:21 Saiki, Kobato: (laughs)
20:24 Cookie: Who’re you… Stop showing off!!
20:25 Saiki, Kobato: (laughs)
20:27 Cookie: You little brats, I’m gonna kill you!
20:28 Saiki, Kobato: (laughs)
20:29 Rossy: Like “the world”.
20:30 Cookie: What the f**k is the world… I don’t care if you say “flying around the world, po”, but I’m doing this in my military uniform! [Note: gakuran looks like a military uniform.]
20:36 Cookie: [Note: I can’t hear well]
20:38 Rossy: No, no, never talk about the world.
20:41 Cookie: So outrageous.
20:42 Rossy: Is there anyone like this?
20:43 Saiki: Whoa, it’s huge! (laughs)
20:44 Rossy: You guys got on his bad side.
20:46 Kobato: Whoa, insane, it’s as huge as a cigar, po.
20:49 Rossy: This is insane.
20:50 Cookie: I don’t care about “po, po”.
20:50 Saiki: This is insane.
20:52 Cookie: Stand up.
20:52 Kobato: What?!
20:53 Rossy: This is insane.
20:53 Kobato: I… I stand up, po?
20:54 Saiki: Do we stand up?
20:54 Cookie: Hey, get your forehead out.

21:28 Kobato: That’s right, po, yeah.
21:28 Onuki: OK.
21:28 Saiki: That’s right. Cheering for the first time in a long time.
21:31 Kobato: It had been a long time.
21:33 Saiki: We were like “We were not alone” (laughs).
21:34 Kobato: Exactly, po. Um, we had the COVID pandemic before then. I, Kobato, tried my best but the audience didn’t cheer back, you know, po.
21:39 Onuki: Exactly, you’re right.
21:40 Kobato: So it was like doing a failed comedy all by myself, po.
21:42 Onuki: (laughs)
21:43 Saiki: A failed comedy (laughs).
21:45 Kobato: Um, it was the first situation in a long time where they cheered back, so that made us…
21:50 Saiki: Tearful.
21:51 Kobato: We were tearful, po.
21:54 Onuki: Well, sorry to interrupt you, but you are on a tour now…
21:56 Kobato: Po.
21:56 Onuki: And you will keep going. Will you come back to Kansai again?
21:58 Kobato: Yes.
21:59 Saiki: Yes.
21:59 Onuki: OK.
21:59 Kobato: We’ll come back here again, po.
22:00 Onuki: You will perform at Namba Hatch too. And your finish line is awesome, right?
22:01 Kobato: Yes.
22:04 Kobato: At Yokohama Arena.
22:05 Onuki: That’s truly amazing!
22:08 Kobato: For example, we have written a song that would be nice to sing along with all of them at Yokohama Arena…
22:16 Onuki: Wow!
22:17 Kobato: It’s going to come true, po, right?
22:19 Saiki: Yeah.
22:20 Onuki: Great. You had the COVID pandemic, but your five-year goal will finally come true…
22:24 Kobato: Yes, po.
22:25 Onuki: I’m impressed you are working on making it come true. Great.
22:31 [Caption] An astonishing fact will be revealed soon, po!
22:32 Rossy: You’re a half-bird half-human.
22:35 Rossy: This is an astonishing fact.
22:36 Cookie: What the hell? What?
(Commercials)
22:39 Cookie: Hey, get your forehead out.
22:40 Saiki: She has such… such…
22:40 Kobato: My forehead? My forehead?
22:41 Saiki: A tiny forehead.
22:41 Kobato: My forehead? But I have no forehead, po.
22:43 Cookie: Show it to me.
22:44 Kobato: I really don’t have a forehead, po (laughs).
22:46 Saiki: (laughs)
22:47 Rossy: You really have no forehead.
22:49 Cookie: Hey, are you Koji Kikkawa?
22:50 Saiki: (laughs)
22:52 Cookie: I’ve never seen such a… tiny forehead. Go home.
22:55 Kobato: I’m relieved, I was saved because I have no forehead, po.
22:57 Saiki: You were saved.
22:57 Cookie: You were saved, right?
22:57 Kobato: I was saved, po.
22:58 Cookie: But you want some forehead, no?
22:59 Kobato: Actually I want some forehead, po.
23:01 Cookie: Do your best. Save money and, um, go to Takasu Clinic [note: a well-known plastic surgeon].
23:03 Saiki: (laughs)
23:03 Kobato: Oh, yes, po. Um, I sometimes… shave it, po.
23:07 Cookie: (laughs)
23:07 Rossy: So you’re doing your best.
23:09 Cookie: Sorry for making you show your weird part.
23:10 Kobato: (laughs)

Now, what makes me think the next entry in the Youkai Watch series may be a reboot (a true reboot) in the first place? Well, think about it. The 10th anniversary is right around the corner, and with Youkai Watch Jam/Reborn's final episode airing on March 31st this year as well as the Youkai Watch manga having ended on May 26th, it's looking like Nate's 9 long years of spotlight are coming to a close. Over the course of the main games, we've gone backwards and forwards in time, across continents, and even into alternate universes (although, is Gakuen Y a main entry?). Nate's life is simply tapped out. Where can we go from here but back to 0?
In addition, doesn't anyone else notice the new character seems kinda... Jibanyan-like? (For the uninitiated, please see here). We even see the characteristic teal flame in the corner of the teaser where the character's tail might be, plus it seems fitting that a Jibanyan-esque character would be revealed first (on what looks like a logo no less). I think that we're looking at the rebooted version of Jibanyan, and we don't even know it!

Dragon ball = SSS fairy tail, rent a girlfriend = SSS Better call saul, breaking Bad = A Sinpsons, family guy = A

Idk if this the right sub, but im looking for mods and ideas for a Fairy Tail inspired modpack for me, friends, or even to make a server off of.
P.S. kinda like if u seen season 1 of Xylophoney’s fairy tail origins (im a nerd ik)
Also, i would like to have ars magica 2 , so 1.10.2 or 1.7.10 would be appreciated.

I'm starting my first campaign soon with some close friends, and since none of us have an interest in metagaming and just want to have fun, we enjoyed the idea of every character having their own Special that we come up with and the DM approves. I'm not sure if this is something people do or if it's recommended by people but I'm looking for suggestions from people more knowledgeable about the games balance then me.
For example: One of my friends is a big ginger guy. Strong as an ox and we've always joked about his tendency to "unga bunga" everything. So obviously the guy made his first character a red headed goliath barbarian with the special "Unga Bunga" unlocked at level 3 he rolls a dice based on his current level to increase his attack power for his next attack. Once per encounter simple boost.
My character is a outcasted Monk with major anger issues, I will not elaborate on the self-insert accuracy (it's accurate). The ability my DM originally came up with involves my monk losing his temper and rampaging. I roll a dice and get a modifier to my attack based on my current health percentage. I keep that modifier for 3 turns however every enemy will begin to target me. This was made before I was set as a Monk though and I think the focus on my health and being targeted might make it useless given my already frail character compared to martial classes. So I'm open to suggestions.
My girlfriend is playing a Beast Tamer with a pet psuedodragon who has a background as royalty and is travelling to become stronger and wiser before becoming queen. I have no ideas for her. She's short, she's got attitude, and we wanted to make a fun special involving having a queenly command or presence but we're also not sure if we'd like to involve the pet in some way since it's an important part of the character design. Such as helping her fly like Happy from Fairy Tail.
