the curve

somehow ive found myself in a position where folks come to chuck in times of strife for encouragement. lets get the big part of this conversation out of the way LOVE IS STILL REAL and that is the thing to remember. that north star remains. today there is more to talk about though

existence pushes towards love community and freedom, because CREATION is what we were built to do and creation thrives with these things as fuel. IT GETS BETTER. LOVE IS REAL. however this change comes in up and down waves. its not a straight line and should not be expected to be

some of these waves are short and small, and some of the slopes are years or decades long. there is no mincing words here, we are entering a massive downward wave. the implications are huge and it is okay to mourn that. FEEL THOSE FEELINGS. it is an important part of the ride

the most telling sign post on our slope is this: tromp won the popular vote (or likely will when the votes are done). we can talk POLITICAL STRATEGY all day about electoral college or who should court the center or the left and on and on but ultimately THIS is the real story

to me it signals a TRUE cultural shift. likely conservatives will have presidency, senate, house, and supreme court. WHAT A GIANT SLOPE. HOLD THE HECK ON because we will be riding it for a while, deep into the pit of the void. hold your buds tight, prove love at the local level

but heres the thing, MASSIVE waves have happened before. theyll happen again. mind numbing slopes into the abyss and great soaring leaps into the sky. in fact the inertia almost ALWAYS causes them to happen right after each other. hippies or punks back in the day, buckaroos now

politically we were trapped in a basically fifty fifty trot for a long time, but it was not always like this (just look at old election maps what the heck). to be honest, tromps map looks like one of those old maps right now. and DANG did COUNTER MOVEMENTS blooms from those times

in other words, THERE WILL BE A COUNTER CULTURE MOVEMENT THAT WE HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN OUR LIFETIMES. you are now a rebel for the resistance and the wave that will swing back towards love will awe us in ways we cannot even imagine yet.

but for now, feel those feelings, mourn, prove love, stay safe. do not let the hope i am espousing feel like a distraction from the very real, even deadly consequences of the terrible pit we are plummeting into. it is a horrible day, and FUTURE HOPE does not diminish that, BUT

get ready because that counter culture wave is coming and YOU are a part of it. if you want to shout HECK OFF DEVILS then shout it LOUD, if you want to cry then cry HARD, if you want to love then love with your WHOLE HEART. thats the start of the movement that we dont know yet

when that movement takes shape we will feel the inertia of the curve and it may make us sick from the rollercoaster turn, and that pressure will be uncomfortable and scary, but THEN buckaroo, we will soar, and ill be so dang glad to be holding on tight with you when we do

ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER-

The Gunners take their final stand against the Minutemen.

Of course I had to draw the new coolest ghoul in town!!!

[dovesofcedar]

If I knew how to make mods they would all be stuff like…

Little Caesar's: He's small now. Like the size of a nuka cola. Choosing a dialogue option that mentions this results in the entire Legion turning hostile.

Mysterious Benny: Replaces the Mysterious Stranger with Benny. Instead of always shooting your enemies there is a 50% chance he will shoot the Courier again instead. He's a wild card.

Let The Cow Kill: Lets you assign brahmin to the guard posts in your fallout 4 settlements.

It's cool that RadAway is administered as a hanging IV bag in the Fallout show because now when I take 3 in quick succession in-game, I pretend my character is railing them like Capri Suns

Soldier?

I never thought there was room for anything in my life besides the Brotherhood. I'm glad I was wrong.

I know I said I wouldn't be posting COD content on this blog, but I'm super happy with how this turned out, so I'm posting it on main anyway.

They're, uh, cuddling... Let's see if I can get away with that.

This could probably use some more work, but I'm so tired of looking at it ;^; I've been working on it for way too long, so here ya go!

Have some König, Ghost and Soap enjoying some alone time together!

Open it in another tab to really see all the details!
