The Vorpal Sword is a weapon that appears in Alice in Wonderland. It is destined by the Oraculum to be wielded by Alice Kingsleigh against the Jabberwocky on the Frabjous Day. It is first mentioned in the Lewis Carrol poem "Jabberwocky", as seen in his story Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.

@kjc733
Additionally, since the sword was used to decapitate the Jabberwock, games that use the Vorpal descriptor often use it to indicate that the weapon is particularly deadly; Vorpal weapons in D&D have a chance to decapitate on every attack, other games have anything from increased base damage to increased crit rate or crit damage. Final Fantasy 12, amusingly, has a one-off enemy named the Vorpal Bunny.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!


One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

Jabberwocky​


BY LEWIS CARROLL

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Take a pic of real fire blow it up 250% then reduce it by 270 % to get a distortion then then use the transparency tool like a silk screen

starting pic blow it up to max
then reduce it with random un even % a to get a distortion
select area and then prtsc
open new paint window and paste
1655663890802.png
take a monochrome blank in this case
1655664023071.png
then use the transparency tool {set it to white }
1655664226022.png
paste and place it on what you want you blank to be filled with "play with it" until you see what you like then drop it

then reselect it and copy them paste in new paint window

I keep forgetting Paint has a transparency selection now.
I remember back when I was prototyping HMI I was trying to do semi-transparent layers in Paint, I did it by having alternating pixels on the bitmap. Fortunately it was only on a menu bar on a 1024x768 display.

Hello:
That is very cool about new Paint! Because I used the old versions as I can't have the antialias messing with the basic texture details I create. And I mean basic as I use another program for the fancyness :) .

"The Key"

Careful who knows what it unlocks
and to what fate it's turning may come
for it is knowledge
pray wisdom in it's usage.
for some doors can not be relocked
once undone can never be redone
and some should stay forever locked
so pray careful with the key.

A key can give you power to do some things... but be careful with the doors you open, things might not go as expected.
