Forgot to post this to tumblr too, oops!

Anyways, I spent the last 6 months or so holed up in the garage scratch building a custom Warframe corpus loot locker pc and ended up finishing in time for PDXLan, entered in the case mod contest and won first place x_x still feels unreal tbh?? The photos make it a bit hard to tell I think, but the case is pretty damn huge. And heavy... Also yes, it does in fact open and close! There's some more info in the warframe forums post:

I also have a workbook going over the progress of how I built this thing on my website

(also Rebb said it looks cool so I probably won't ever shut up about this aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

On the perils of swapping between Operator & Drifter...

An alarm clock goes off at oh dark thirty, like it does every night. Drifter smashes it off. "Ordis, why do we even have that alarm?!"

"That is the Operator's reminder to start another Forma in the Foundry."

Drifter pulls the covers back up. "The kid's sleep schedule is fucked."

A week later, the Operator takes back over, ready to run Elite Sanctuary Onslaught/Hydron until their backlog of kuva weapons are fully leveled. "Wait a minute...why don't I have more built forma?!"

Ordis helpfully informs the Operator, "The Drifter ignores your alarm."

The Operator considers that and says, "It's alright. They're old and need their beauty sleep."

Writing high fantasy is harder for me than it used to be because I'll write "The door swung open" and I'll imagine some tumblr user with three different grad degrees in medieval history dunking on me with a 2,000-word post about how door hinges weren't invented until 1956 and before that they'd just smash them open with axes and rebuild them each time.

I use the Drifter more almost solely for the fashion options that come from armor sets and syandanas. I occasionally use Operator. Pretty 50-50.

They do look like younger/older versions of each other. However I see them as acknowledging that there are indeed the same person but actively treat each other as siblings. Operator's clothing is based on how I did Fashionframe years ago while Drifter uses my modern tastes in such.

Operator: Anneliese

Drifter: Lainey AKA "Tweake" (The nickname is based on a phrase my dad use to say "Tweake it till it's broken." from when he use to work as mechanic.)

Anneliese: An eternally tired yet anxiety riddled train wreck of a child. (I could get into it but we would be here all day). Enjoys toying with machines, especially Corpus tech. Terrible at manifesting her ideas, often brings them to Lainey so they can actually be built.

Lainey: Boredom did a lot to fuel her interests while stuck on the Zariman. Overly casual and lax tinkerer. She especially loves seeing what machinery she can Frankenstein together. Leaves random bits and bobs everywhere, this infuriates Anneliese to no end. (Based on how on my second account, the one where I play the drifter is where I did so many trial and error builds using the many build options in-game.)

Anneliese is the craziest. She is one push away from sending a Jat Kittag through someone's chest at full speed. They are NOT having a great time.

A close tie but leaning more towards the Operator. She is on the edge of every line emotionally. She keeps herself calm / stable by becoming the cold and calculating type.

Got my ass kicked by Amar, Boreal was annoying, Nira was a cake walk (She was my final archon).

Anneliese: She is Aromantic.

Lainey: Fruitier than a fruit salad, joking aside she is bisexual.

Anneliese: Frost and Limbo (My oldest Warframe mains).

Lainey: Lavos and Yareli (My two current mains).

Anneliese: Dante hood and leather gloves.

Lainey: Gas Mask and various tech.

Additionally, Both: Posh nerd with Cyber glasses.

10 questions you should answer if you're one of those freaks who roleplays their drifter/operator

Do you just completely ignore one of them in favor of the other? If so, which one and have you made up a lore reason for this?

Do they look more different than "child/adult versions of the same person, maybe in different costumes?" and if so did you make up a lore reason for this?

Do they have a name? If so, do they have different names?

How much did the different timelines difference affect their personalities?

which one is crazier?

which one is more sad/serious?

How difficult was it for you to defeat the archons when you played The New War?

🏳️‍🌈?

What would their mains be if they played warframe?

Describe the outfit you have currently equipped on each of them in five words. (five for each outfit)

character misses their shot and the villain goes "ha! you missed." and the main character goes "did i?" and then shoots the villain again while they're frantically looking around the room for what the hero could possibly have aiming for instead
