-
I like it! π Weird given literally everything in Capsule Corp. lol. Hehe, I just have things are very me. π All of them are good movies and I'm pretty sure Linda doesn't have a favorite. Good luck! π I know you can do it!

oh, i see i guess it is just the F5 tornadoes that flatten neighorhoods or whatever (or maybe they don't either and tornadoes are overrated. idk how common the bigger Fs are) oh yeah. suddenly reminded of some really esoteric filler nobody talks about. fake namek. in Z filler, krillin bulma and gohan land on a planet they mistake for namek before they reach the real namek, and it has tornadoes that last hundreds of years. that'd be wild. the uncanny degree i've never seen it be mentioned anywhere feels so strange, knowing i'd only know it because of our system having watched the show a few times. it feels almost 30% as disturbing as when miri mentioned barnyard i can find an esoteric filler memory that is 43% disturbing by remembering inoshikacho no not that one the one from dragonball someone needs to study how dragonball had colored photography and m16s 300 years ago in like age 400 something, but in the early half of age 700 world war 2 era weapons seem very widespread and they don't have cell phones except maybe the big fat brick ones until about the buu saga that have flip phones, and then a couple years after the buu saga they have smart phones and ipads, then in GT like 15 years later society has returned to wired landlines (the last two are just because gt was made in the 90s and Super was made in the 2010s and they aren't the same continuity, but it's the dragonball anime alone that you can see 300 years of the world having the same 20th century guns lol how tf is bulma such a boomer in the buu saga she doesn't have a cell phone btw, i think it was videl the only one who had one on her lol i'm unsure how to feel about a show sorta implanting IRL tech advancements. i guess they want it to be more relatable, but it's such whiplash it is borderline retconning goten and trunks into ipad kids because a 1 or 2 year time gap in the story was a 20 year gap in real life wonder if star wars does that. star wars was made in the 70s, so they have starfaring space ships, but their computers have the graphical capabilities of an atari. they've utterly mastered the manipulation of physics and are like a type 3 civilization or something, but then they'll bust out some ham radio type thing or something to communicate. idk if newer star wars stuff has things that look like smart phones just because we have those now, or computers that aren't using low polygon original starfox graphics for models -fighter pilot in a spacecraft that can jump across star systems in mere moments, and fire torpedos with an energy yield greater than hydrogen bombs- -busts out the fucking virtual boy to lock onto things- oh, interesting i'm not sure which one is my favorite. hmmmmmmm maybe, if i can stop being a chud that doesn't finish anything i start lol true

Probably my favorite movie for a number of reasons and dispite a few. (Turles knows what he did.) Yeah, it looks really cool! Sounds about right. That was put together. π That would probably be great. π I don't think any of us can speak as eloquently as he does though. I'm glad to see you write so much! π I'd love to see that written out someday. π Also, I feel like you need to make a drawing like that meme. It just kinda matches up a little too well in my opinion, lol. Oh! Cool! π I wonder if you two were anywhere nearby, lol. Oh, that's pretty interesting! π

it's not so much about there being a lot of empty space. like, sure, if a tornado is happening in the middle of nowhere, it's no big deal, but i wouldn't even be aware of that sort of thing. if a tornado directly passes over a place, it will do some damage, but tornadoes aren't usually that big, so there is only a small area that they directly pass over. but there are still high winds that can pick stuff up in the surrounding area, and if a tornado is nearby, it could always swerve to your location, so it's not safe to be outside. but a tornado isn't going to pick up your house or anything. as long as you stay away from windows or ideally in a basement, there is low risk. if there is a big tree nearby, a tornado could knock it over and it could crash into your house, which could be dangerous. but you're still pretty unlikely to get hurt when you live in tornado alley, you just get desensitized to it. it's no different from a big storm. most people don't bother to change their routine much

Visualization Progress Report for Past Week: I've had a couple of sessions in the past week, mostly with Verres, where there was something almost like a visual outline. Like something invisible clearly present and trying to be visual or closer to me somehow. These were very pleasant, like she was there physically as we hung out. There were more sessions where there was a clear impression of something there, but more felt and not quite visual as the above type. These feels pretty good too. Imposition practice has slowly turned into something enjoyable in its own right, almost like a musical instrument once the player had gotten more familiar with it. There were a few sessions where I struggled to achieve the above state, more often with Saeya. Touching and tracing her physical outline with my mental hands had helped to push her to the second stage described above most of the times. I also did more work with her face and hair this week, getting more reference pictures, allowing my own unconscious to tweak their shapes and to visualize them better. In retrospect, it's curious that she has not participated too much in this process, but was simply patient with it all. She was pretty laid back and got me to relax the few times when my own mind got frazzled during this process. I find that reminding myself or mentally affirming that everything I see is a visualization created by my psyche helps me get to the two states described above. My mental visualization of both tulpas have also been decent for the past week. When they're turning around, I can see them at more different angles better now. I went out to the local mall today to impose the tulpas. It was an uneventful session, with both of them having fairly strong and stable presence. There were some mental visuals of them that popped up spontaneously along with their physical presence. Just something I realized, but I have not experienced physical outlines of them while in public or with them moving yet. I might be able to experiment with the latter in my own home. Miscellaneous Stuff: I noticed that I sometimes get annoyed when one tulpa pops up, especially in imposed presence, when the other was already present. It can also sometimes take some effort to switch mental gears to get to a mental state where I can clearly feel the second one when I was already, for lack of a better word, connected to the first one. This seems to be more of a mental quirk that's developed rather than a legit restriction. I tried to calmly impose both tulpas together today when one popped up again while the other was already present, and it went ok. There's probably just a part of my mind that dislikes surprises and prefers to focus on one thing at a time. I was tempted to buy a stone bowl, a handmade one where the seller have a lot of the ones in similar sizes available, and would send a random one out to the customer. With S/H it came close to $28, and Verres advised me against it, stating that for that amount, I should be able to know what I was getting for sure. Saeya helped with some kind of mental maintenance this week as well. I don't even remember what the issue was. When they were successfully dealt with, these sorts of mental complexes/themes tend to lose their emotional 'oomph' and becomes very forgettable, as they should be.

yeah flash flooding seems to be the only real natural disaster risk here. never had forest fires or tornadoes or earthquakes. if there has ever been an earthquake, it was literally negligible and unnoticeable to the degree you might not know it happened it'd be cool to travel. tb and rena would always dream of traveling. also don't particularly want to live where we do right now, but if we moved somewhere else in the world, i don't know where we'd go. it seems too sad to not have all 4 seasons and i think we almost take for granted how many places in the world seem nice until i realize they have 1 or 2 seasons. i can't imagine someone who has never seen fall leaves or spring flowers or winter snow (summer can eat it though. well nvm, i think usually is summer when you can see lightning bugs or hear cicadas, and forests get extra fluffy with their mystically dense viridian greenyness) oh, random fun fact mitski read the other day recently we knew osamu tezuka is someone toriyama looked up to (as does many cartoonists/mangaka/film directors around the world and in japan have), but didn't know he was into entomology (the study of insects) i wonder if that is the reason gohan loves bugs and studies them. he's even reading a giant book about them in in the garlic junior movie byakko watched with lumi today, but it isn't just a movie thing, as in dragon ball super he actually as an adult is still studying and researching insects in his scholarly pursuits
-
NY is similar. The few tornado watches I've "survived" have all been false alarms. The biggest danger from storms is always flash flooding Cool! I lived there for a few years. I'd love to go back (though I also want to see more of Europe)
-
i think they can cause a lot of damage, but mainly if they get close enough and are big enough, and the midwest is a ton of empty space, so while there are a lot of tornadoes, there aren't a lot of tornadoes that also happen to be at your house, i think. still hard to imagine living with that existential risk casually though i also might not know what i am talking about lol thanks yeah i can't help myself, i want to post more i love the concept of the tree of might. or shinseiju in japanese, divine spiritual tree maybe that's fine. i haven't posted clips in a while. i don't know if byakko or rena has posted a lot of them recently. hmm. i can apologize to lumi in the morning (also is only a few mb or so, we've done much worse but idk if it adds up too much over the course of years) if i could write a cool script and not sound stupid when i talk, it seems like it'd be fun to make some sort of dumb gushy DB film commentary/reflection series like whatever i wrote in the spoiler text, except good. maybe we're too easily entertained/impressed but i can't overstate how much joy it gives us i never heard of that before. probably not i guess. the basement just had several random ugly little rusty uhh what were essentially holes in the ground for water to drain into, but they just clog so easily, and when it rains hard, water from the backyard can pour down towards the house like a stream and start pouring down into the basement steps and through cracks in the wall of the basement steps, which leads to maybe under normal circumstances like an inch of water in the whole basement, but over the years it'd get exponentially worse for reasons idk why, and landlord had 0 interest in fixing anything well, the original landlord might have fixed it if he didn't die. he might be why it was never a big issue until TB was a lot older, because after he died, his evil gold digger wife became the landlord, and she was mean and angry and any complaints about the house falling apart would result in her threatening to raise the rent and at most sending over some random dude she doesn't even pay anything to check it out and maybe slap tape on something in rare random cases, have gotten weather alerts of a tornado in WV, but i've never actually seen one here. i have been told in the rare case one does spawn, they don't last long because of all the hills destroying them and not letting them get far also didn't know you lived in spain at one point. that's where miri used to live
-
My weather app once said a tornado was actively happening when I lived in Madrid. Not only does Madrid not get tornadoes, it was a clear day. It wasn't even windy.
-
yeah. tornadoes happen in other places, but they're relatively rare. two tornadoes in a week anywhere outside of north america is reasonable grounds to assume divine judgement that's awful. did you not have a functioning sump pump?
- Yesterday

I just know they can cause a lot of damage and I may have over reacted because I forgot. Rain sounds like a lot to deal with. I think you're a little rough around the edges but definitely likeable! π That looks so cool! π Like a unnatural hybrid of tech and alien biology. Scary to think about.

she had fun, even though it's funny how hard it is for her to watch and talk at the same time sometimes i feel hard to like so it's nice to hear that. it is nice to see you too chinese buffet sounds good right about now (byakko has eaten a bowl of yogurt and an apple today, so a lot of things sound really good) hope you are having a great time we were thinking while watching, some environment designs in dragonball movies reminds us of the creepy alien architecture like in ninja gaiden ancient ship of doom i think you said you like like who tf built that stuff it's so creepy, i love it. out of context, idk if people would even know it comes from dragonball movies here's a freebie from something very uncommon most western fans might not even know exists jeez that sucks. that's right, you live in corntry, that's where the tornadoes are isn't it does such a thing exist anywhere else in the world. i wonder what people thought when first going over there and seeing those. probably thought the land was cursed hope you are alright jesus have i been typing over 40 minutes. why am i so slow. i guess since i really wanted to find right balance between sharing with karl things i think are cool that i think he'd think are cool too, combined with trying to not make the files too big but i always wish i could record in full res and record unreasonable long sequences lol we'd upload them to youtube, but still traumatized at youtube stealthily replacing the audio with the american audio, when we specifically uploaded japanese audio. also a good chance of copyright strikes sleep well. try SSILD where TB used to live would have the basement flood everytime it rains. like several feet deep water through the entire basement. then it'd be caked in mud after draining, if it even drained, because it'd clog often, so would require unclogging and walking through knee deep brown water. no long have a basement to worry about, but have a ceiling and wall that leaks everytime it rains. alas, huh starring at those pictures and clips. 80s and 90s DB just hit different. trying to think if post 2010s DB has anything comparable i wonder why they look like that (other than they are animated with analogue techniques), since even if modern db had something like that, it'd not have the same aesthetic probably. hmmm
-
idk where you live, but as a midwesterner, tornadoes are not a big deal for me. the bigger issue is the rain: there was so much rain that the basement flooded. it was mostly just a bit of water from the foundation, which is just a minor annoyance, but i also noticed a stream of water coming in from one of the windows. turns out, there was some settling in the front patio that caused the water to get funneled into the window basins, filling them with many gallons of water, and when one of them got full enough, the water started pouring through a crack in one of the windows. bailing out the water from the window basins was an absolute pain. thorny stems kept getting caught in my hair

Good night, Lumi! π

Type post

Couldn't stay awake long enough for the LB post
-
Aww, thank you, Twi! π Yeah, I bet the two of them would have a blast. π Maybe even a food fight, lol.
-
Twi says "ur a dumpling" (presumably because you're warm and feed the soul :0) ) We think Linda would like eating with her a great deal.
-
Just processed this. Goodness! I do hope you're alright!
-
those were from me i sneezed
-
two many tornadoes
-
Those all sound really good! π I don't think I've ever had a dumpling though, lol.
-
there have been too many tornadoes! there have been like two this week!

Is this⦠the way of the worm?
