i feel so bad for the members whenever they arrive in sk from overseas 😔 the people who wait for them in the airport are out of control, it's so anxious to just watch them... Taehyung literally mentioned this on his ig story, but they'll never listen

"Hey-- it's alright. You're okay. No. It's just us here, I swear. It's just the two of us. No one's gonna tell her. It's okay-- No, you did good! You did fine, Dee, you didn't even do anything bad-- you gotta breathe, hermano, come on--"

look, i would have loved to have let the gemini go enjoy that robot dinosaur with their new friends. :/ sadly the requirements were not met for that timeline so donnie has to get overstimulated and have a panic attack instead. bummer.

I don't know if many of you knew this but I was asked to illustrate something for the 2025 homestuck calendar.. ( last year it was this one ) why that's relevant is because I finally finished my art for it!! I can't share what I've made yet but I think it turned out pretty good.. ^_^ I'll link the calendar once preorders are announced hehe.

felix being referred to more or less exclusively as "your soldier" in-game speaks to how little the writers put into his character beyond his noggin full of sith secrets & his relationship with the consular; still, i do find it kind of sweet and funny, in a way. he's not a republic soldier, not even your personal bodyguard; he's your soldier. the consular is a small nation-state in and of herself

[UNTITLED #020]: How Our Team Learned to Never (EVER) Use Pneumatics

I guess the first thing we should've asked ourselves was if using pneumatics was necessary.

The year is 2022. A classroom is filled with nothing but a pneumatics kit (of questionable origin) and a dream. And ~45 students. They also had dreams. Also.

I remember when we started our air-pressure-gauge-reading-journey. The world was infused with the acoustic ambiance of a workshop with power. Now, I am an author who speaks (somewhat) for the team, but, if I were an author that spoke for myself, I might say something about how, while I personally didn't have much to do, I was fascinated just watching them work.

The design for the robot, a claw that would be pushed forth with a pneumatic piston, was almost entirely created by a few of the older students, which sucks because upperclassmen are always busy and they didn't have much help (quick parenthetical of appreciation for those that contributed that year). To be frank, no one really knew what they were doing.

A week or two until comp and our robot was but undone. The workshop was emptier in those days. Our main electrical guy had spent a few minutes making an entire table from scratch wood for some reason (to work on or practice driving with or something; my memory eludes me). Suddenly, we had something resembling a bot. I helped with bumpers.

Were we cramming? No, we were living

And to ourselves, we had to be forgiving

We had no choice

But to rely on a few senior boys

And hope they got the bot moving

Anyway, so we're at comp and we're having all sorts of issues. There are leaks and we have trouble getting past inspection, but if I remember correctly the piston might have worked once or twice. A super nice guy from another team spends like the whole day with us trying to get it working, which really showcased coopertition. Everyone in our few feet of pit is stressed and our president ran to best buy to get us a brand new light-up xbox controller. Eventually, we were able to compete. Our mechanism still wasn't great, so we slapped a dumbbell on the robot and played defense.

We didn't win, but we adapted, and the whole experience only made going to playoffs a year later that much sweeter. Also, we at least got to experiment with pneumatics. But pneumatics is hard guys. And also that game kinda sucked.

We learned a lesson that day. Air likes to be as free as a bird. We were not airbenders. We were but FRC lovers.

In all honestly, though, that year was probably an essential step in the progression of our team. What we lacked in time-management we made up for (further hindered) with ambition. Additionally, we really became comfortable stepping outside our comfort zone (you won't have trouble straying from the tried and true if all is tried and nothing is true). We used a somewhat original design, and I think at least a few students were invested in the outcome. And it was a good time.

people who arent really into sonic that are incapable of talking about it or seeing others talk about it without making fun of it or repeating some overdone meme reference really are some of the most annoying and unfunny people on planet earth i think
