"Gentle Persuasion" featuring Loid Forger.
I hate not citing and linking to the original artist for memes like this, but I think I spent longer digging through the internet trying to find the source than I did drawing this. I suspect--based on the aged sepia tone of the original where the whites are and that there is no artist signature anywhere--it's a scan from some printed book or newspaper. If you know where it came from, please reply or DM me so I can add a citation!

Me sitting down to write Gentle Persuasion part 3:
“I already have this planned out. I just need to write it. This will be a piece of cake.”
Me now, literally no more than 10 minutes later:
“EDDIE WOULD NEVER SAY THAT.”
“This is going so poorly.”
“WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN.”
“WHY CAN’T I SPELL?”
And so on and so forth.

gentle persuasion
todd knows his way around gentle persuasion, much to the dismay of Bill, for bill is a person who likes things to not involve violence…
But regarding crew members, this never caused any harm.
(well except for Jonny… that boy knows lots of things no one should, which a lot of people want to know, so he’s a bit fucked in that regard)
Ok enough smart person english, I just thought it would be funny, don’t be angry pls :))))
Todd be creepy man sometimes, but well, that’s what happens when you grow up on a rather, let’s say rough pirate ship

Seer: retrieve firearms
kankri but turnabout!flavoured! i imagine him swapping places with karkat would make him grow up into less of a mightier-than-thou a grade ahole and more rebellious against the empire, mirroring the life of the signless in canon. he still has a long way to go though

Sound Designer: Guys, I think a wasp got in…
Stage Tech: Should I kill it?
Stage Manager: No. I’ll handle this.
cuts to Stage Manager insulting the wasp heavily, such as…
Stage Manager, to wasp: Nobody likes you! Your family hates you! No one noticed you were gone! Go away!

i think the reason why the tumblr heart button is red and the reblog one glows green is because, at crossroads, you're supposed to wait until you see green to move over

thank you @piipaw for the tag!! 🥺
❔ Who❔
Full Name: Mavis "Vi" Lytte
Age: Late 30s
Height: 5' 7”
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/Her
Sexuality: Demisexual-Panromantic
✔️ Pros ✔️
✦ physically soft and comforting - exceptionally good cuddler
✦ quiet but deeply passionate and protective of those she cares about
✦ is an engaging listener and will follow up eagerly with ideas if you asked her for help, and they will be color coded
✦ will make you a full care package of hand-selected goodies just because you're having a bad day, including written words of encouragement and handmade trinkets or presents
✦ understands and respects boundaries; doesn't push them but always makes it known that she is there should you ever need her and will go out of her way to make sure they are upheld
✦ sappy and heartfelt encouragement; she does not hide how proud she is of you and will always encourage you to keep going
✦ oddly high stamina people-pleaser and affectionate aftercare
❌ Cons ❌
✦ can be fairly useless if her self-care habits aren't maintained and her sleepless nights catch up to her - what do you mean it's not a good idea to have someone cast sanctuary on her so she can take a nap with an elixir of angelic slumber behind a bush in the middle of battle?
✦ generally does not respect her own body and is inclined to ignore the needs of it just so she can focus on what she feels is more important and useful for everyone else
✦ extremely tender and likely to cry if she raises her voice or her emotions swell too much, including when angry
✦ ruminates a lot on everything and can lose sight of the present, becoming prone to panic attacks
✦ will absolutely ask you to help her carry all of her books or to look at the terrifying bug she found
✦ firmly believes knowledge is more valuable than actual money and is garbage at saving
✦ lingerie for her is essentially a snuggie with cargo pockets for snacks and books
✦ her smokey eye is literally just because she always falls asleep in her makeup
Which brings us to...

Okay so Crow’s whole family was murdered (or at least his brothers. his parents were already dead) and his kingdom was completely destroyed, all by another Fae family they had beef with. There are many other Fae kingdoms and there’s an Accord in which they meet and discuss the realms issues, declare each other enemies etc etc. but it’s all very civil. The main goal of all kingdoms is revelry, and that’s their highest priority. Everything in the name of a good party, and anyone who gets in the way of that will be Punished.
EXCEPT no one is going to do anything to help Crow. Because when he like a toddler he took a vow of pacifism. And then he broke that vow. To save his own life.
To the Fae, promises are sacred. There’s only one thing worse than a disrupter of peace — an Oathbreaker.
