Transposition, or: Ship Happens [Worm/Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio | Arpeggio of Blue Steel]

from what I remember all the tinkers have some basis in reality, but for some of them they build the equivalent of a rail-gun with per-industrial tech which is impossible. I always thought that dragons thinker power just made sense of the science and then that allowed her to build lesser versions with current tech that is sensical (yes i know sensical is not a word deal).
 
Is there a canon example of a Trump power disabling Tinkertech? Working on a Tinker, sure, but working on something they've made independent of them?
Citrine. Her power allows her to create an effect within a relatively small area, up to and including nixing the power of a single parahuman. Of course that's assuming she's given enough time and her target doesn't leave the area of effect. So, yes, she could disable Tinkertech, but the process would be extremely selective and too slow to be viable.

Okay, that can nix a single Tinker's ability to Tinker. Was it ever shown to stop already-existing Tinkertech from functioning? Or is that just supposition?

Yes, it is just supposition, but one that is supported by canon. In her interlude in Ward, Citrine claims to be able to interact with ~60000 variables, by her count. So, really, the question isn't "can Citrine mess with X?" it's "is it viable for Citrine to mess with X when there's likely a simpler solution?"

Right. I'm asking because I'm trying to point something out. Citrine's ability, Citrine's specific ability, can shut down Tinkertech in theory. That's a far cry from saying all Trump powers can affect all Tinkertech. Or even saying that some Trump powers can affect some Tinkertech.

If there were more examples we'd have a good reason to believe that Trumps could interfere with Tinkertech regularly.

The one thing that is unarguable is that Trump powers can interfere (or aid) Tinkers' ability to produce Tinkertech.

When I asked some of the guys at Cauldron, the response was that it depended on the nature of both the Tinker and the Trump in question.

I wonder. Is Citrine's power actually limited to powers only? Because these comments make it feel like her power is "I can shutdown a certain mechanism/reaction/law of physics/whatever in a certain radius".

The "shut down powers" thing is just a facet of her power, and one that really isn't viable if she's outnumbered. But, yeah, your thoughts are correct.

That's pretty much exactly what her powers can do, and more.

Her entry in the wiki sums up her powers as -

Citrine's power allows her to "attune areas to particular functions", altering specific properties within a relatively small area.

She can interfere with gravity, temperature variation, friction, light intensity, and the progression of time, among others. She claimed that there were "more possibilities than I could count, many so minor you wouldn't notice."She could use her power to make everything within her ability's range effectively waterproof as an example.

Most notably, Citrine can "find the right attunement, as though I were searching a radio station" to neutralize a given parahuman's abilities. Furthermore, she can specifically cancel out protective powers, or cause powers to go out of control. This latter effect never takes more than twenty or thirty seconds. She risked striking the wrong attunement and accidentally killing her target. Further some powers are too subtle to find out in time before she is retaliated against, or have the subject step out of her range.

Citrine's power gives everything in it's area of effect a washed out yellow effect, as if the observer was colorblind, only able to see yellow. Under the influence of the Yàngbǎn it appeared as a golden glow.
 
I've found in AO3 a story where Taylor is hired by the Dallons as house keeper. Vicky manages to have Taylor dressed as an anime Maid. I'm halfway the story, and things keep escalating towards lewds. I'm at a point where I'm not sure if the story is a TaylorXVicky ship, or a TaylorXVickyXAmy one. May be I'm just being tricked and nothing will happen.

IIRC posting AO3 links here is infractable, so I'm not doing it, but I'll give you the story name: Taylor's dress-up adventures.

Ah yeah, I already knew about that one. It's more of a Taylor x Amy with seducing Vicky on the side currently so not quite the same, but I can't say that I dislike it. It's just, it's a shame that the author has so many ongoing stories concurrently so updates been really sporadically at best.
 
So, the end of the chapter is a bit ambiguous but if I understand it correctly, Taylor's core-body is at her house when Lisa awakens. (She is clearly doing things at home, like eating with her dad while she works on Lisa's body, and there's no indication that she ever left home.)

This leads me to conclude that Lisa will be greeted by chibi-Taylor when she wakes.

Yeah... waking in an isolated location, with your body completely reworked by a small, young, female (apparent) medical-tinker. No bad connotations associated with that, right?

(I guess you could make it worse and have chibi-Taylor playing with her body morphing ability while waiting and happen to be blonde when Lisa wakes...)
 
So, how do you think they're going to either hide or explain Lisa being a robot? (Or at least there being someone new with metallic skin.) Case53? Experimented on by a tinker? Changer who becomes robot like? Member of the Adeptus Mechanicus, trying their best to be close to the blessed machine?

"A woman barely alive, we have the technology, we can rebuild her, faster, stronger, better than was before"

And with possible ties to Relentless implies it may be the result of the mysterious Tinker who is supplying Relentless with gear (well as much as the humans know. It's cute though, makes you want to ruffle their hair and smile)

Of course I'd Expect somewhere on Lisa's new body to be Relentless's identity crest as a bit of a signature. I mean Hyuuga slaps it on everything she builds out of nanomaterial
 
Still much better than the anime though. On the other hand the anime(or well movie) had the Kongou Chomp and awesome fight scenes which totally made up for all its failings.
Do you know if there's any way to legally stream those movies in the US?

Really? That's a bit surprising. Is there any reason AO3 as a whole is infractable? (That does stand for Archive of Our Own, right?)

It shouldn't be, as far as I'm aware. The only relevant part of the rule I could find is this:
Be aware of the links you are posting. If the site you are linking to has pornographic advertisements (such as some of the *boorus, for example), you may run afoul of this rule.
To the best of my knowledge, AO3 doesn't have any advertising at all, so the only way you can link to NSFW content there is to link to a NSFW story directly. Linking to the home page, for example, isn't going to cause anyone any problems. Similarly, neither should linking to an author's profile which will provide a listing of their stories (though this might depend on exactly what their story descriptions are like?).

In addition, actually attempting to open a story that contains some sort of adult content will prompt a warning before it shows anything, so there's another barrier to prevent accidental access to NSFW content (though I don't know the exact conditions that prompt this warning to show up (it might be at the author's discretion), since I only read one story on AO3 (and it's likely dead :() and it doesn't contain adult content of any variety, so I had to go looking).

SB has a 'two click' rule for adult content, but I didn't spot it in SV's rules so I have no idea if it's something mods use as a 'rule of thumb' style condition or whatever.

The anime is on Crunchyroll. You can watch it for free there, with ads, or pay for premium and watch it in hd with no ads. I got a 72h free premium pass if you want it. Poke me on pm and I'll send it when I get home.

The movie which plays out right after the anime on the other hand I haven't found legally anywhere. Though check Crunchyroll for it. They might have it. After all there's several shows that crunchy tells me they've added to their library but when I check they're not accessable in sweden...-.-

Which is the case particularly with "Taylor's dress up adventure". As I mentioned, it has "Rating: Explicit", and by "explicit" it means that sex is depicted in detail, not just hinted at or happening off-screen.

Also, I dont like the euphemystic acronym "NSFW", because if you get caught watching kitten videos when you're supposed to be working, you most likely will get fired. The hipocrisy here is that originally NSFW was intended as "would you rather be fired over kitten videos, or plain porn?".

Also, if the rule in SV is about advertising rather than explicit content, then linking to AO3 might be safe. But I'm not taking any chances.

I was only responding to the question of all of AO3 being possibly intractable if linked (which is why I quoted the other person's question specifically, not anything you said), they weren't asking about that story in particular. There shouldn't be anything wrong with posting something like "There's a story on AO3 by the name of XYZ." since there's an amount of effort involved in finding it that's the same as saying "There's a story on AO3 by the name of XYZ." (in case this link doesn't work for some reason, it's just a google advanced search with 'site: archiveofourown.org' pre-placed in the search bar).
 
So i had a thought, and i'm not sure if someone has mentioned this already, but i wonder what Dean will think of Victoria's emotional development towards Relentless.
 
But... Isn't Victoria with Gallant? Or is that not in this timeline?

Like all fictional american teenagers (as far as live actions series taught me, but I could be wrong) the relationship between Gallant and Victoria has on/off periods where Vicky do something Dean has problems with, Vicky disagree with Dean's disagreeing, they break up for a period that can go for days or a week, and get back at the end of the breakup.

So, basically... the shipping could start to develop during one of their 'off' periods.

Depend what caused Dean and Victoria to start (again) one of their 'off' phases.
