I think it’s really easy to see Camp Jupiters militaristic mindset and how they’re so vocally against Greek demigods and those that aren’t like them.

And you know, the whole fighting for the confederacy thing. And think oh these guys are the worst.

But Camp Half Blood has just as much issues that I feel get brushed over because it’s portrayed as the more fun and chill camp (that fought for the union.)

When in many respects they are mirror images of each other.

Camo Jupiter judges people on rank and Camp Halfblood judges people on their parentage (frankly I think that’s worse.)

They adore him now but Percy was shunned the moment they learned who his dad was. They shunned Nico for a few things, his dad being one of them.

Tyson because he was a Cyclops and Rachel because she is mortal. In fact they don’t allow mortals into Camp Halfblood unlike Camp Jupiter.

Despite there being Greek legacies in this world. Frank is a son of mars yes but he’s also a legacy of Poseidon.

Frank and Hazel are looked down upon for being part of the 5th leigion and we see how they’re treated compared to those in the 1st.

Camp Jupiter replaced Jason with Percy in a very similar vein to how Camp Halfblood essentially replaced Percy with Thalia when she returned.

Which is why I like to think Percy calling Jason Praetor as well is because he didn’t want Jason to think he replaced him because he knows first hand how much that sucks.

Neither have easy passage to get into considering Camp Jupiter allows Roman demigods entry as long as they’ve survived the Wolf House first.

Camp Halfblood says it allows any Greek demigod but if you’re parent doesn’t have a cabin here you will have to sleep in an already crowded cabin after a deity known for being a thief.

Also the judgement you’ll get for it especially if your parent fought on the perceived bad side of a war.

Camp Jupiter is self governed by Praetors they choose. While Camp Halfblood has Chiron and Mr D snd that one time Chiron was removed and a criminal decided to run things.

Both of which have left their camps in ruin for their own gain.

And the rest is pretty much the same it’s just disguised as fun summer camp stuff in Camp Halfblood.

Get prophecies. Train. Complete a quest if you’re selected. Get a new bracelet bead for a year of completion or you get a tattoo for it.

Get very much favoured by the Olympians if your Greek (because the Romans had to fend for themselves during the Battle of Mount Othrys) but even then that doesn’t exactly mean much.

Yeah New Rome exists but only for those that complete a decade of service (unless your Annabeth and Percy) and in both respects neither are expected to live that long.

They both got a lot of issues and for as different they may try to be for each other, they are very more similar then they’d like to admit.

Makes me wish we saw more of those differing cultures.

Like Frank not getting why people in CHB assume he’s some meat head when he tells them who his dad is.

Thalia being looked down upon in one camp because her brother is not only part of the 5th cohort but a disgraced former praetor. And looked up too in another because her dad is Zeus.

I just think it would be interesting to see.

1/144 HGUC Zaku ii MS-06R-1A (Custom Tricolour Blue Camo) Complete!

2nd custom built and 1st time using polycaps, not sure if I'm a fan of them yet as it's too early to tell how they'll hold up. Mix of stickers from the kit and spare decals from a MiG-31.

first snowstorm of the winter here in Montréal, Canada so…

Foxes vs. the great white shitstorm

Kevin: PTSD from the-skiing-accident-that-never-was bc that’s how far his trauma goes BUT will brave the snow if accompanied bc Exy is an interior sport thank u mom for that one. chances are he also probably bunkered down at the Foxhole court beforehand so he wouldn’t have to witness a single snowflake nor be separated from his one true love. bunker supplies include a shit ton of OJ bc the man is fighting away the flus and the colds like it’s The Plague Part II: 1347.

Matt: has to be stopped by Dan, once again, from buying a snow plow to fix in front of his truck. like every place where winter = snow, the PSU campus is severely unprepared for the onslaught, it’s like they’ve never seen this shit before and if I could just help out the community that way it would be a win-win for everybody Dan don’t you get it? it’s still a no, so Matt proceeds with unleashing his energy outside, alone, grumbling and building snowmen (and snowphalluses once Nicky joins in)

Nicky: DECKS THE HALLS EVERY-FUCKING-WHERE, FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA. it’s tradition for him to wait until the first snowfall before decorating for Christmas, as a compromise (if it truly were up to him, 1st of November would be Christmas Tree Day, but he made a deal with the twins who, despite despising their birthday, would absolutely not have Jingle Bells and and holly on November 4th). the thing with Nicky is, he exhausts himself very, very fast and loses focus/productivity in the blink of an eye, so all you see is a path of garlands and pine needles leading to a zoned out Nicky munching on frootloops in a beanbag. the Foxes will have to finish what he started.

Allison: during daytime? fab as ever, hyped to get out her winter outfits and order another 3k of winter gear, boots, scarves, gloves etc. for herself. then she shops some more for the Foxes, some genuine bougie shit, some wtf shit to make fun of this season's chosen victims (see: Kevin always, a little bit Neil to chase away the nightmare of the past year, and this year's winners: Dan and Aaron). but once nighttime hits? it's war time. it's UGLY time. thermo one-piece suit, the old 3XL PSU Foxes men's sweatshirt Seth bought himself in his first year, tight braid shoved under a tight camo sports balaclava, spy goggles slapped on her naked-bar-fake-lashes face, heavy duty boots, and snowballs. yes, snowballs. starting this year, she's initiating the Yearly Foxes Snowball War. she's got her Santa bag ready and full of compact snowballs as she goes down the hall, breaking and entering every Fox dorm and obliterating them unprovoked. queen behavior. conquering among the squeals of Matt Aaron Kevin the vanquished!

Renee: hater mode activated. it's only for the first snow, it's only for one day, but it's brutal. her smile is tight, her socks are fucking wet by noon and she's had it. the little gremlin dives under a pile yay-high of blankets, destroying one or two of her advent calendars and eating 25-50 pieces of chocolate to sate her ire. she's the only one safe from Allison's assault, she's only asked if she'd like to join in the snowball fight instead, which is a hard no from Renee. next year, though, Allison's provided her with the same tech-gear and she's ready to unleash her anger on her unsuspecting teammates. but only after the chocolates.

Dan: nope. nope nope nope. she's so cold. so cold. she's craving warmth wherever she can, making the Foxes jump when she shoves her iced hands or feet into them. she's bundled up in layers upon layers of clothes. she's drinking coffee and tea by the gallon. she's scrambling for every lip balm she can get her hands on. she's making soup, and soup, and more soup. spicy ramen, three beans, lipton, chicken cream, veggie mix. she's got 2 thermos at all times, one hot drink, one hot soup. soup mama.

Aaron: first victim of cold season. if there's a snowflake, Aaron's got snot. no amount of ginger shots, garlic nostrils, citrus slices or soup can prevent the inevitable. man down by sunset, congested af, broody and pitiful. everybody makes fun of him, most of all Neil. look at the hot shot doctor bested by a lil cough-cough. the one year he didn't get sick so early, he had to get the new flu shot bc he's premed. needless to say, man down again.

Neil: ultimate x-games galore, here he comes! for the first time in his life, he's allowed to indulge, and try out every winter sport under the sun. Exy's still his wife, but man is snowboard up there with snowshoes-running and ice-skating and sledding. he's monstrously good at hockey, to Kevin's great disappointment. he thinks he'd have quite liked being a hockey player hadn't it been for Exy. and the mafia. anyways, he's unstoppable, he's exhausting, he's everything. he's Barbie.

Andrew: tiny emo beef man is fucking-A-ready. winter tires ON, tire chains ON, windshield cover ON, broom and shovels ACQUIRED, hot chocolate cupboard FULL, cleated boots SHARPENED, hotshots warmers STACKED. and then he just- doesn't move. not one iota. absolute pillow princess without any fucking involved. that man is not getting out there, despite the Foxes' wailings of needing a ride, needing groceries, needing a hand. he is ready, doesn't mean he's involved. c'mon, the dude's got multiple plans for a zombie apocalypse, you think a little snow's gonna stop him? yes, actually.

and that's all folks... for now. fuck /yeah/ snow!

[0creativity0]

I love jokes about camo making things invisible. I love making them. I love reading and hearing them.

Anyway, that's a draft version (as in, I've already changed it a bit) of a conversation from the next chapter of my fanfiction. This is from chapter ten, which is coming out on the 1st day of 25 so uh feel free to read it if you're really wildly unfunny and don't mind unnatural ahh dialogues and loads obvious symbolism with mild conflicts.

Sexuality: Bi.

Cloathing: Often wearing green camo themed cloathing. Such as vests. Leather jackets. Utility pants and military caps. He is only seen wearing his full military attire (helmet, gas mask, flack jacket and weapons) if he is on alert or expecting a fight.

Appearence: Guss has a very skeletal body. Along with Sharp teeth and pointy finger nails. His eyes are yellow and very reptilian in nature. His arms and legs are covered with so many scars and old wounds that they are beyond count. His cloathing covers them up most of the time However. Lastly, Guss is bald and has no facial hair. His skin is pale White.

Alternate demonic form: this is the form that guss takes on automatically if he gets extremely angry or enters a frenzy. He can also take it on willingly to perform better in hand to hand combat. His arms and legs elongated. Making him twice as tall as he used to be and giving him a very uncanny slender appearance. His fingers turn in to long boney talons, his teeth grow longer and sharper, and his eyes glow red with rage instead of their usual yellow color. Razor sharp spikes also grow out of his arms and back. Making him very hard and painful to grab a hold of. He calls this his 'Wrath Form' Guss usually hesitates to take on this form. Because it's a bit painful to take it on. And tends to somewhat ruin what he is currently wearing to cover up his arms and back.

Backstory: Born in the late 1930s, America. Garis Holt never had much family aside from his beloved sister, Annah Holt, Whom he was very close to. His mother died Giving birth to him. And he has never met his Father. Garis dropped out of college and ran off to Join the military at the age of 19. Much to his sister’s dismay. Joining up with the US military after going through a very rough training program, he was shipped off to serve in the Vietnam war, which he did Until he was killed in action 1966. Durring his time in the war, Garis and his unit experienced a lot of horrific things. And comitted horrible acts such as Executing SUSPECTED VC civilians and slaughtering prisoners of war. All of this eventually landed him in hell upon his death. His sin was Wrath, for the hate and rage he felt towards the enemy he was fighting durring the war. He has been in hell for a long time Now. And has learned to survive with a very nomadic lifestyle, and without a solid roof over his head. You have to, if you wanna make it through an extermination day.

Other info: Guss feels tremendous regret and gulit for his actions durring the war. He has never recived Any therapy for help, nor does he really wish to recive any. He also suffers from PTSD and night terrors. Which Can lead to a fight or flight frenzy at the worst of times.

ANAPHYLAXIS FILTER - WASPsynth multi-mode filter with double LFO and distortion

The ANAPHYLAXIS FILTER is a multi-mode filter with double LFO modulator for the CUTOFF frequency based the filter section of the notorious WASP synthesizer that was created by Electric Dream Plant in 1978. This standalone pedal version of the filter allows you to use it for the input signals of your choice. The FILTER MODE selector is a 4 position rotary switch (up to down: LOW PASS, BAND PASS, HIGH PASS and NOTCH) with the position indicated by small purple UV LEDs. The input signal is controlled with the GAIN control, that can boost even weaker input signal to overdrive the filter. A dedicated RESONANCE control determines the amount of RESONANCE  at the CUTOFF point, that of course has a control knob as well. Furthermore the RESONANCE has two settings: EXTREME (up) and NORMAL(down), selected with a toggle switch. In HIGH PASS mode the filter can self-oscillate without any input, in case you need a high frequency SINE WAVE oscillator. In that case the FREQUENCY can be dialed in with the CUTOFF control. A 3.5mm mono input socket for EXTERNAL CV (Beware only use max. +5VDC, everything else destroys the circuit!). This input is used to modulate the filter’s CUTOFF with external gear (as i demonstrate in a demo video of a previous build). But the ANAPHYLAXIS FILTER can do more, as it has 2 build in LFOs that are modulating the CUTOFF frequency, with independent SPEED and DEPTH controls, which allows to generate a more complex modulation waveform. Each LFO has a RANGE toggle that selects: SLOW (down) or FAST (up) as well a 3 position toggle switch that selects the SHAPE: SQUARE (down), OFF (middle) and triangle (up). The fast LFO range goes well into audio range and enables you to create  some very interesting frequency modulation filter effects. With slower rates, especially with the triangle shape and the 2 LFOs running at non-synced rates, even the most static sounding input get ‘alive’. The SPEED of each LFO is indicated by either red or green color in the big LED in the middle of the LFO section. The 1st stomp switch is TRUE BYPASS and if that is not enough, the 2nd stomp switch engages the DISTORTION, both with UV indicator LEDs. The level of the DISTORTION is controlled by the DISTORTION knob and the toggle switch next to it adds a TREBLE BOOST (up) or a HIGH CUT (down) setting to the DISTORTION. In the end of the signal path is a signal booster based on the EHX LBP1 with a global VOLUME control. The ANAPHYLAXIS FILTER runs on 9V DC and has a ‘boss style’ 2.1mm DC barrel plug socket with the negative pin inside. The enclosure is a heavy duty scavenged industrial engine power connector housing made from die-cast aluminum with a bottom plate made from found material and is painted in the industrial burnout camo pattern in matte black and bright yellow. Handmade by GRM for METSÄ��N. Sold.

That’s it. Human eight off the string inspired by @lyss-butterscotch ‘s stuff

He’s got a chameleon tail and can also entirely change colors (but not become completely invisible). Also yeah he does flash rainbow colors if hurt like white lizards do

And he has this camo ability bc mf does not want to be seen outside of his can but hey he thinks it’s cute to mimic lizards and see how they react (rare Eight happiness moment)

(Btw 1st image the right side is inspired more by lyss’ stuff and might become the official human eight ver)

I ended up redesigning Valti again because I wasn't satisfied with the second design I had made. And thus, the 3rd design became a bit of a mix between the 1st and the 2nd.

The patches on the skin of the 2nd design and the weapon being a hammer were kept, but I decided to keep the gauntlet, camo pants and shorter coat of the 1st design.

And at fucking last I'm done with ref sheets for Artfight! However I have yet to post everyone because Artfight and its code for character description fucking hate me.

chad (i live in america. though i have plans to leave soon(ish) because i've got my band members in canada.. i have a pink-camo bolt action rifle named angie i got on my 8th birthday. then my dad's rifle is named cig..for no reason... and my 9mm is named bugger. my favorite movie has to be between urbania, the living end and tusk. i have no pets because i travel quite a lot, but i'll be settling down next year and i'll be taking my brother's siamese kitten named rockwell.. and there isn't much around me since, again, i travel a lot. there is a hiking trail though and a record store i frequent.)

ill pack my bags and move to canada and be your bands 1st and worst groupie ^_^. angie sounds so pretty ... imagining pink camo rifle in my head right now and its pretty epic. of course....no reason at all to name that rifle cig........ :^33........... and i like 'bugger'. that's what my nana would say instead of cursing. is there a story behind that name, or behind angie's? id be interested to know ^_^. i have seen the living end but not urbania or tusk.... i will watch them . i just looked them up on letterboxd and tusk is directed by kevin smith?? like jay&sb kevin smith?? so cool..! i lovethat guy.. rockwell sounds so adorable... i love a record store. gotten any particularly good finds there? :^0
