#A questionably useful task

[maeamian]

We can still make rocket engines tho, like we can't make the Rockedyne F-1 anymore for a variety of reasons including it's wicked outdated by this point, particularly since the fall of the soviet union introduced staged combustion to western engineering techniques, but it isn't some great tragedy that we can't make that particular rocket engine tbqh, we can still make rocket engines.

hello everyone and welcome to "netiquette with Jedediah"

[elijahfalvey]

TASK 005 — LET'S GET PHYSICAL.

HEIGHT: 6'3''.

AVERAGE WEIGHT: ~185lbs.

BODY TYPE: Muscular and athletic.

BODY TEMPERATURE: Runs slightly warm.

EYE COLOR: Dark brown.

EYESIGHT: Early signs of presbyopia.

HAIR COLOR: Dark brown, nearly black.

HAIR TEXTURE: 2c curls ( inspo ).

HAIR STYLE: Tighter kept sides and length on top ( inspo, inspo, inspo ).

FACIAL HAIR: Anywhere between a fuller beard and light stubble, never clean shaven. Mostly matching the color of his hair except for the patch of gray beginning to spread near his chin ( inspo, inspo ).

PROMINENT SCARS: One underneath his chin, about an inch in length, from when he tripped over a bundle of wires on stage and fell into his plugged-in keyboard intensely enough to require stitches ( inspo ).

SKIN TONE: Fair with warm undertones.

FRECKLES: Prominent along his entire body, most noticeable on his face and chest ( inspo, inspo ).

MOLES: Two on his right cheek and one on his forehead ( inspo ).

BIRTHMARKS: None.

TATTOOS:

— A cluster of amethyst crystals on the back of his left forearm, matching with the rest of the band ( inspo ). — A daffodil outline on the inside of his right bicep, Wales' flower ( inspo ). — A scorpion tattoo on his lower right thigh, usually hidden by his pants ( inspo ). — The 'birds of Rhiannon' on the outside of his left bicep ( inspo ). — Future tattoo plans include: A Fleetwood Mac inspired piece, something similar to the birds for Hattie to continue his sleeve, a note written in his father's handwriting, touching up his amethyst crystals . . .

PIERCINGS: None.

DOMINATING HAND: Ambidextrous, favoring his left.

ACCENT: Welsh English.

STYLE: Typically very plain. Business casual at work, but favoring garments like t-shirts / long-sleeves and sweatpants while at home. A regular day out running errands would warrant jeans in replacement of the sweatpants, or he'd also throw a button-up on top. There's no real rhyme or reason for any of his clothing, it's all just a mix-matched collection of things he's been given over the years ( inspo, inspo, inspo — work ) ( inspo, inspo, inspo — home ) ( inspo, inspo, inspo — causal ).

ACCESSORIES: A gold Rhiannon necklace from Awe Inspired, matching with Nilay — and eventually Rhia, when she's old enough to wear her pendant; it's slightly chipped and frosted thanks to the fact he's hardly taken it off in the past two years since he bought it ( inspo ). Other than that, he typically doesn't wear jewelry. He'll wear a baseball cap if he doesn't want to deal with his hair ( inspo ), and glasses when he works ( inspo ).

SHOE SIZE: 13 US.

how do you think wesker reacts to karl's knock-off magneto powers?

Honestly I feel like at first he’d be surprised, but also curious of how much he can really do with his powers. If it was past wesker he definitely would’ve wanted to run some crazy experiment on him. However past re5> (au) wesker would feel a sense of comfort being around another bio weapon like himself after hiding for over a decade. Plus he’d get him to use his powers for dumb stuff like fixing his truck/plumbing/etc. On the other hand, Karl’s reaction to wesker’s uroboros powers (works like dbd) he’d be immediately creeped out/disgusted but tries not to show it

i'm doing it againnnnnnn every single time i get far into a minecraft world i get bored of playing it and just wanna start a new one and when i started my last world i said i was gonna really commit to fighting all the bosses and getting all the achievements and doing all the big stuff i've never done before and i fought the dragon and now i'm getting bored of it. telling myself "oh i'll just start a new world to play for a bit then i'll go back to my main one" but that's the devil speaking cause the last time i did that i completely abandoned the world i'd spent a lot of time on and just ended up deleting it after like a year of not playing AND I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN AGAIN

the little girl at the bus stop just had the most enthusiastic, info-dump-y of rambles about how the bus that's coming is "literally the best bus" bc it's apparently bigger than the others which you "can see from its shape" and how great this bus ride is going to be

@zeroabyss replied to your post “@zeroabyss replied to your post “Since I'm...”:

Yes dead. Rhea wouldn’t have given up the chase otherwise, nor is she implied to have dedicated any military force to finding him at any point innthe current days. We know they were eventually called the 10 Elites because Nemesis and the rest pretended Maurice was dead the moment he became a Beast and disappeared, and History likewise remembered it as only ten. Nothing in the game suggests Rhea thought Maurice was still out there, and she absolutely would not have let him live if she knew he was around due to knowing she made sure to hunt down the other ten.

​Bear in mind in Nopes Maurice being part of the Elites is documented, and they later became the 10 Elites (rather than 10+1) because of the "curse" associated to that Crest.

The same book suggests Maurice became "unhinged" after a battle in Gronder - so before Tailtean?

Rhea hunting the Elites is, imo, fueled by both vengeance/retribution but also by the wish to recover whatever was left of her siblings - Maurice "slained" a Holy Warrior and was still hoarding Blutgang - Rhea wants to recover relics (it's the reason behind Constance and Yuri's paralogue in FE16 and it's mentionned in Balthus'!).

Imo, even if Maurice died in a ditch, Rhea would have wanted to "recover" the relic.

So, in a way, the hunt for Maurice should have been both a hunt to rekt him - if he was alive - and a hunt to recover what was left of Bob - the Nabatean who became Blutgang.

Now, in the modern times, we know there are rumours and legends about a demonic beast in Mircea's forest, I can't fathom Rhea/the CoS not knowing a thing about it (hell, why weren't they asked to deal with this issue?) so why wasn't she taking care of him?

As Rhea the Archbishop, maybe she mellowed a bit and adopts a more "reaction" approach, if a relic pops up she will acquire it, but she won't send her people look behind every rock and box if there's a relic inside.

But as Seiros the Warrior? The same Seiros who went to war and spent around 100 years to hunt Nemesis? Who continued to hunt the Elites after Nemesis' death? This Seiros would have let Maurice escape or Bob remain in the ditch Maurice died in (if Maurice died)?

I can't see it - unless there is some event that makes her drop the "Warrior" persona and adopt her more passive "Archbishop" persona - which is what this headcanon (lycaon's death) tried to explain :

Seiros the Warrior is so gung-ho on avenging her dead siblings and "recovering" them that she cannot protect the future (Lycaon's supposed golden rule and the happily ever after ending post WoH!) and the present (Lycaon as a person? Especially if he was her kid!), so Archbishop Rhea (and her many names!) will try to oversee the present - if there is a relic around she'll recover it but she won't exclusively focus on it and won't spare attention to Momo when there are people who currently need her help right now (just like relics though, if there is an opportunity or occasion where Archbishop Rhea can face Momo or meet him, he's dead meat) - and the future - her rez Sothis plan.

gonna continue to puzzle over specifics when i'm forcing myself to go offline LMAO but. poke.mon au!!

ren started his journey in kalos with a froakie, but didn't get far because 1) he wasn't actually that interested in battling, 2) he preferred photographing and studying the things and places he saw, and 3) his parents were pressuring him to do something else because his efforts could be "put to better use" elsewhere.

now he's working alongside many others across the world to find new medicinal and therapeutic purposes for various poke.mon (his focus of course being in fungus-based poke.mon + various kinds of spores). he's also skilled at treating spore-based illnesses. his current team helps him in his studies.

i just kinda gave my s/i the team i like when i'm playing the games (aside from scolipede, though i DO have a shiny scolipede that i love hehe). my initial idea was "ro gets through most of the johto league before getting into an accident that cuts their career short" but like. lbr. i've never been the adventuring type LMAO SLAJDNKJN, i've been a gamer and art kid since i was itty bitty, and any time outside was spent looking at cool plants and sticks and shit.

so while my team here was going to have a lugia in place of scolipede, i just don't think that makes sense. nah, more likely, i can imagine starting in johto with cyndaquil as a starter, mareep and magikarp as early catches, realizing the league isn't For Me, and moving to coumarine in kalos with family. once there, i could travel to places around lumiose and catch a venipede, be rescued by a gengar (based on a dream. as usual for me lol.)...

and i'm still working out the How, but i wuv sawk and need him on the team. i do get in some kind of accident at some point, so maybe he could help me-- actually that might work out sdkjkj i played b&w (and developed a surprising affection for sawk) just a couple of years before becoming ill, so it would Kinda Work with the irl timeline??? hmmmm!

but the basic idea is just: ren's passing through coumarine while on his way to one of the surrounding routes for his research. i'm drawing some pastel landscapes by the waterside, as a way to get some fresh air. i catch his attention, he starts up a conversation, and find we have quite a bit in common! and even though he has to go, he finds excuses to pass through the area more often... :3c just kind of "what if we were both Normal (tm) but also there were poke.mon?" lmao.

One thing I can tell you from watching all this classic Doctor Who and also being the kind of person who's really interested in where aspects of the lore and worldbuilding originate

TARDIS Wiki is one of those websites that is so comprehensive it's functionally completely useless most of the time

cult leader stone .

i dont know where this thought came from or even if you can do anything with it. but know that i thought of this.

Anon: *proposes Cult Leader!Stone*

Stone in my head: HUH??

Honestly, I don't think Stone could be charismatic enough to be a cult leader. Unless it's Baker!Stone. Baker!Stone is the most charismatic Stone variant there is, and even then the man is too much of a softie to really be a cult leader.

So I feel like Cult Leader!Stone isn't really a cult leader, like not one who manipulates his followers like most cult leaders do, he just gained a shit ton of people who are hanging onto his every word and they follow him around. He's really confused because he's just a retired Fleet Marine Corpsman (I made him retired in this AU because how else is he supposed to be leading a cult, he can't lead one when he's on deployments), someone that's usually considered to be unapproachable.

I feel like the man would use his newfound power for good. Like:

Follower: What should we do in preparation for the second-coming of Jesus?

Stone, a Catholic who has never really heard a priest talk about the second-coming of Jesus: Take care of yourself and those around you. Drink lots of water and eat nutritiously. And don't force others to join the group.

Another Follower: ...We shouldn't spread the word about your holy word?

Stone: Maybe don't call it my holy word. And yeah, I mean, tell them what I've said, but only if they ask for it. Don't force them into a conversation about us.

Yeah, so like, I think Stone would just see the amount of people who want to buy or build a compound for this "cult" and be like "We should let the homeless sleep and live here for free."
